vestigation he recommended com
promise increase of six cents al
hour This offer the union represen
tatives agreed to submit to the mei

Other PaopIa's Money.

In handling other peoples money the
principal must be kept intact. If, as a
trustee, those to whom. you are respon-
sible insist upon an income which you
in your heart know cannot be obtained
without taking some slight chance, give
up the trust without hesitation, says
Worlds Work. There is no more bit
ter experience through which an hon7
est trustee or executor can pass than
the rendering Of an accounting for a
lost or depleted trust. No reason or ex-
cuse can weigh for an instant against
the actual result which he faces. A
single slip in the. handling Of funds
like this may doom all future genera
lions of that family to lives of poverty.
This is the greatest responsibility ever
laid upon a trustee, an executor, a
banker or an adviser and no honest
man should assumeit unless he is pre-
pared to endure for the sake Of the
future all the criticism that may cen
ter upon him on account of extreme
conservatism in the present.

Bait For Fishing.

A fish hasn't nose, but it can smell.
Recent experiments have proved this.
Anglers have laid so much stress on
the need of exciting a fsh's interest
by the look of food that the effect of
scent has been overlooked. A shark
will bite at hook containing piece
of fat pork, although the pork does not
look like any kind of fish that swims
in the sea-.
1t may be heresy in angling to sug-
gest that ely" should smell like
fly. These scientific experiments show
how large part smell plays in the
food pursuit Of fish. Bait, such as
small crabs, was found and eaten by
the fishes two or three times as rapidly
when the shells were broken. Bait
placed inside a gauze bag was smelled
within three minutes of being lowered
In the water, and almost at the Same
time all the fishes began nibbling at
the bag When cotton was stuffed into
its SO called 'snostrils'' the dogfsh
would seldom observe the food that
came near them.-Chicag Herald.

Altered War Words.

An examination of modern military
terms reveals the fact that very few of
them possess the meaning, originally
assigned to them. Munitions, for ex-
ample, in ancient times signified not
only the materials OF warfare, but also
the fixed defenses of an army. Thus
the translators of the authorized YER
sion of the Bible use the phrase "mu-
nitions of rocks to translate 'impreg-
nable rock fortresses," and the defend
ing army is charged to keep the nu-
niions" when the meaning is guard
the fortresses." Carriage is another
word with a changed meaning. In
Acts appears the phrase 1--WE took up
our carriages" 1t is one Greek word
meaning having packed up" and the
Geneva version Q55O has 1--WE trussed
up our fardels." In those days the
words meaning was something car
ried,' not as now, something that car
ries. Chronicle.

Arms of Washington.

The arms which Washington used
are heraldically described as follows:
Argent (silver), two bars gules (red), in
chief three mullets STARS of the sec
ond, gules (red). The crest: A raven
with wings addorsed, sable (black), is.
suing out of ducal coronet, or gold.
Although these arms were used by
Washington, the arms Of the family in
Yorkshire are materially different,
bearing lion and being surmounted
by crest with an eagle, not raven.
The Yorkshire arms were the original
arms, according to Albert Welles,
whose Pedigree and History of the
Washington Family" gives with edify-
ing detail the descent Of the Father Of
His Country from Odin, first king of
Scandinavia. Fifty-fve generations
were required to evolve George Wash
ington from Odin.

How Hard Rubber Is Made,

We're all Of US coming In contact
with hard rubber every day OF our
lives. Our fountain pen, our inkwen
tops, the magnetic parts and telephone
receivers are all made Of hard rubber.
But how is it made? Where does it
differ from the rubber in an automo-
bile tire, for instance? Well wager a
guess that not one man in a thousand
knows.
INFLAMMATION consists Of uniting sui
phur with rubber to give it certain
properties Of elasticity, durability and,
still more important, make it to retain
these same properties under all normal
conditions of heat and cold.
When larger proportion of sulphur
than is found in ordinary soft rubber
is present and vulcanization is cOntin-
ued for much longer time we obtain
as result substance vastly different
In physical properties-hard rubber.
Before vulcanization it is quite elastic
and we can mold it to suit our needs

Paw Of Bank Presidents.

John Shelton Williams, comptroller
Of the currency, in an official report
says the national banks with capital
Of $5,OOOOO0 or more pay their presi-
dents an average Salary of So, 400 a
year, while the presidents of NATIONAL
banks with capital Of $4,000 or less
receive on the average a salary Of
only $1,G08 year.
There are 1913 national banks. Most
Of them have a capitalization of less
than $4,000. 1t may be soothing to
the twenty dollar week clerk to know
that SO many bank presidents get an
average of only $19.38 a week, yet
there is no pronounced movement on
the part of bank presidents to retire
from Office and enter the field of clerk
dom. Possibly the poor bank presi-
dent finds ways of adding to his mod
est salary. If he does not he must
find it hard to keep up appearances in
these days of high costs Of hving.-New
York Mail.

What the Peon Likes,

The peon Of southern Mexico has va
rious appetizers that are unknown to
the poems Of the north. One OF the
queerest is water wheat" which is not
exactly what its name suggests, but
the eggs Of kind Of fly. The water
wheat fields are ponds in which the
peon places bundles Of reeds few feet
apart so that their tops are just above
the surface On these reeds, or rushes,
the insects deposit their eggs in incred-
IDLE numbers. The peon then removes
the r1shes and shakes off the crop.
The Mexicans make the eggs, which
resemble fine fish roe, into small cakes
and sell them in the markets. The pur-
chasers eat them either as we eat
cheese or mixed with cornmeal and the
eggs Of fowls. The poems also eat the
insects, which are about the size of our
housefies. Their method Of preparing
them is to pound quantity of the flies
into a paste and boil them with corn

Pay Bills PROXIMITY.

If you pay bills promptly the man
you owe will be inclined to pay his
debts at once. There's an. old saying
that those who go borrowing go sor-
rowing" You'll never contract the
habit of running into debt If you meet
your obligations when they are due.
Paying up makes for business efficien-
cy. There are some men rated wealthy
who find it hard to get credit. Other
men with nothing often can borrow
vast sums: Their credit is good They
always meet their obligations. You
have heard it said, I'D sooner take
that mans word than another mans
bond" Be one of these men with the
word. Try paying your bills promptly
and see how it works.
