Worse Than Working.

The stage carpenter went to the thea
ter manager and asked for an increase
in his wages. The manager appeared
surprised.
"Why," he exclaimed, II really don't
see my way TO giving you raise. You
have nothing much to do. Half the
time you are merely standing in the
wings listening to the play"
"Yes, sir" replied the carpenter grim

Did you ever look at the edge of a
dime or quarter? They are different
from pennies and nickels, for all silver
and gold coins have what are called
"milled" edges, while the edges of pen
nies and nickels are smooth. The
reason for this is that some dishonest
persons used to clip pieces off the
coins, especially the gold ones, and
then sell these scraps Of precious
metal when they had saved a great
many. Every year the nation lost
large sums Of money this way, and the
thieves would smooth the edges off so
we'll that it was hard to find out who
was guilty. The best way of stopping
this practice was found to be to mill
the edges of the more valuable coins
30 that no one could pare them with
out letting it be seen at once.

Do you know that in the United
States 62 out of every 100 people that
die leave no estate whatever? Do you
know that out of the remaining "a only
9 leave estates larger than $4,000, and
that the average of the balance of 25
is a little less than $1,000? Do you
know that at the age Of sixty-five, 81
of every 100 in America are partly or
wholly dependent upon relatives,
friends or the public for their daily
bread, for their clothing, and roof
under which to sleep? We all know
that the one safeguard against pauper-
ism by the countries of Europe has
been thrift, says Leslies. Do you real
ize that according to recent govern
ment statistics SO per cent of the
American people are living from day to
day on their wages, and that loss of
employment would mean pauperism
for all but per cent of US?

EXPERTS in TRACKING.
Australian Natives of Both Sexes
Trained From Childhood.


Trained From Childhood.
The Australian aboriginals are the
finest trackers in the world, London
Answers declares.
On many occasions they have per-
formed feats which are almost beyond
belief. But to them the work Is quite
habitual. The boys are taught to track
from birth.
The women are just as expert as the
men, Horse tracks are child's play to
them. They can track horse at full
gallop. They can track anything
possums, snakes, iguanas, even beetles
leave sufficient trail for them to
work on.
The standard of honor among these
tribes is high. When one of them
breaks their strict code. fearing the
wrath of the tribe, he bolts and, know
ing he will be pursued, uses all his
knowledge in an effort to elude those
in search of him. But it is questiona-
BILE If there is single case on record
where he escaped.
What might be called classes in
tracking are held for the youngsters.
The tutor will get them in a body and
then disappear into the bush and do
everything he can to make them lose
his tracks. He will tiptoe along fallen
logs, swim quarter of mile along a
stream, double on his tracks, and so on.
Finally he returns to the boys, who
then set out to pick up the tracks.

All over the country the torch is
apparently being busily applied with
grave threat to life and certain i'm
mense property loss. The incendiary
is the most dangerous enemy to So
ciety, both on account of the terrible
nature of the injury he can infiict and
the comparative security with which
he works. AS he shows no mercy to
society, so the crime should be dealt
with in like manner when detection
becomes possible.

Health statistics of New York show

Health statistics of New York show
that of 3,64S people in that city bit
ten by dogs last year only one died
of the bite. This ought to allay the
unreasonable dread which exists of
the ravages of hydrophobia and Of
its frequency in dogs. The fact is
further impressed by the report that
out of S6,5OO dogs collected only 1903
were rabid. These figures are i'm
portant for their bearing on menace
which it is highly necessary the gen.
eral public should not overestimate.
