Other Peoples 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 hon
est trustee or executor can pass than
the rendering Of an accounting for q
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
tons of that family to lives OF poverty.
This is the greatest responsibility ever
laid upon a trustee, an executor, 4
banker or an adviser and no honest
man should assume it 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.

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 signitied 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.
nabc rock fortrcsses," and the defend
ing army is charged to keep the mu-
nitions" when the meaning Is guard
the fortrcsses." 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 "haying packed up" and the
Geneva version dJ5T) has 1--WE trussed
up our fardels." In those days the
words meaning was something car
ried,' not as now, something that car
ries."--London Chronicle.

Bait For Fishinu,

A fish hasn't a nose, but it can smell.
Recent experiments have proved this.
Anglers have laid SO much stress on
the need Of exciting a iish's interest
by the look Of food that the effect Of
scent has been overlooked. A shark
will bite at a 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 "ny" should smell like a
fly. These scientific experiments show
how large a 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 smclled
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 "nostrils' the dogtish
would seldom observe the food that
came near them.--Chicago Herald.

The air, and when say six or seven
miles away he yolplanes toward the
water, runs above the surface of the
water short distance, heading toward
his target and when ready simply pulls
a lever. The action of pulling the lever
releases the torpedo which is rigidly
held under the airplane, and at the
same time throws back the starting
lever, with the result that the torpedo
falls into the water in the same way
as II it had been dropped from de-
