TWO GLASSES.

There are just two classes. Those who own for a living and these who work for a living. It is painful that the former just now should be so hard pressed to discover why the lat ter should for them work more than eight hours day. Will encroachments upon privilege never cease?

MADE FISH DRUNK.

Making fish drunk was the crime
for which young man was arrested
and fined at Springville, Ala. The
fish lake at Springville is a show
place. It is about 100 feet square,
two feet deep and has a cement in
closure. It contains thousands of
carp varying in weight from half a
pound to five pounds. They are quite
tame and gather in ravenous, squirm-
ing masses whenever anyone feeds
them. The young man who was
partly intoxicated was spending the
day at Springville. Seeing the fish
leaping and squirming to be fed, he
offered the contents of his bottle.
The fish readily accepted and drank
nearly quart. A resident reported
to the mayor the condition Of the
fish, and after an investigation the
visitor was arraigned and fined SIS.
He declared the sight of the fish
while under the influence of liquor.

SPADING BY MACHINERY.

One objection to starting the back
yard vegetable garden has been over
come by the invention of small mo-
tor-power spading machine. The
continuance is designed for use on
farms too small for the lightest trac-
tors. It is mounted on truck body
and controlled by pillow handles. Two
spading forks driven by piston, OPP
crate alternately. Main springs are
connected to the shanks Of the spad-
ing tools below their pivots. Coun-
ter-balancing springs are connected
above the pivots. This arrangement
permits the spades to yield indi-
vidually either forward or backward
when a rock is encountered. The
cost of operating such machine
should not be as great as the expense
of feeding a horse. Its use would
remove some of the closeness of con-
tact with the earth that the amateur
gardener likes to talk about, but it
would also probably result in the
completion of more back yard gar
dens after they have been started

1T COSTS TO BE EXCLUSIVE
Carnegie and Other MilIionaires Pay
High for Adjacent Property in Or
der to Protect Their Homes.

Possessing mansion in the me-
tropolis apparently is not without its
troubles, observes the New York
Globe. Recently Andrew Carnegie
paid $1,75O,OOO for the privilege OF
deciding who shall be his neighbors
to the south. A few years ago Mr..
Carnegie similarly protected himself
to the north, where select colony OF
homes has since been established.
In the case Of Mr.. Carnegie these
seemingly wasted millions work a
double purpose. In addition to pre-
venting undesirable construction
they become very profitable invest
ments, as the land is turned over
piece by piece to persons who will
pay handsomely for the privilege OF
joining a millionaire's home colony.
Commodore Arthur Curtiss James
conducted a similar protective buy
ing movement on Park avenue. He
bought up all available lands ada
cent to his million-dollar residence
at Sixty-ninth street.

Millions of tons of steam pressure
have been escaping annually from
the volcanic earth assures in north

TOLD WHERE HE GOT OFF AT
Passenger on Street Car Got Some IL
Illuminating Advice From the
New Conductor.

A stranger was riding on one OF
the South side street car lines. A
new conductor was also on the same
car.

the passenger.
Things went along in their accus-
toned groove. Soon fellow-passen-
ger nudged the strange passenger
and told him that the car was now
passing the corner where he wished
to alight. At this the passenger rose
up with wrath in his eye. The con-
ductor saw him about as soon as he
arose, and realizing that something
was not just right pulled the bell
cord.
'What' smatter, can't you call
street for man and let him off
where he wants to get off? This
street I want is back square now"
grumbled the irate passenger.
"Say, mister" holly replied the
conductor, SSwhen you don't know

IS THE NATIONS CUSTODIAN
Bank of England Is Private Company
and Not Government institution,
as Many Believe.

The Bank of England now exceed
ingly busy with the war loan, is not,
as most people think, government
institution. 1t is private company,
but reaps a good profit by acting as
the nations banker, says London
Tit-Bits. The remuneration paid to
the Bank of England for the man
agement of the national debt was
fixed in 1906 as a yearly sum at the
rate of $1,625 a million pounds of
such debt up to $2,50O,OO0,000, and
at the rate of $500 for every 1,OOO,-
900 pounds above this amount. On
this basis, assuming a total war loan
of 2,5OO,OO0,OOO pounds, the banks
remuneration will work out at about
100000 pounds annually, to say
nothing of the income they receive
for managing the old national debt,
which, on the outbreak of the pres
ent war, was something like $780,
100000 pounds.
Before any of the money that is
now pouring into the Bank of Eng
land can be spent, a certain proceed
ure has to be followed. First of all,
an order signed by the king, and
countersigned by two lords of the
treasury, has to be forwarded to the
controller and auditor general of the
exchequer and audit department.
Thereupon the controller hands an
order to the treasury authorizing the
Bank Of England to debit the ex-
chequer account and credit the ac-
count of the paymaster general, who
makes all payments on behalf of the
various departments. Afterward the
controller scrutinizes all the ac-
counts paid to see that the money has
been spent in accordance with the
wishes of parliament.

CAPITAL ONCE UNDER WATER
Large Part Of Eastern United States
Was Occupied by Arm of Sea Mil
lions of Years Ago.

Millions Of years ago, in what
biologists call the Devonian period,
a large part of the eastern United
States was occupied by an arm of the
sea which extended northeastward
from the Gulf Of Mexico region, en-
bracing Maryland, Virginia and
what is now the District of Column
5ia, into New York state.
The eastern shore of the sea was
not far east Of the present line Of the
Blue Ridge and the highlands Of
New Jersey and southeastern New
York, and still farther east lay a
great continent which extended an
unknown distance into the area now
occupied by the north Atlantic.
The northern shore of the sea was
somewhere near a line drawn from
Albany through Syracuse, Rochester
and Buffalo and south to the west OF
Washington. The present site Of the
Catskills was thus near the north
east end or head of this sea or gulf,
with land not far away on the east
and north.
AS the streams washed in sand and
mud from the neighboring lands the
sea gradually filled up and the shells
of many braehipods and other she'll
bearing animals were thus buried in
the sand, and their forms preserved
till now. By slow, upward move
ment of the earth's crust, the sea was
drained from the region and the
beds of sand and mud that had been
hardened into sandstone and shale
were lifted thousands of feet above
sea level to form a great new land.
The Catskill mountains have since
been carved from this uplifted mass
Of rock through the cutting of val
leys by the streams.

PAPER FROM SPINACH.

A French horticulturist, NJ. de
Meyer, proposes the stems of spin
ach for making paper. These con-
tain 46 per cent of cellulose, against
4/per cent in the stems of whea
straw. M. de Meyer claims that il.
his experiments in making paper
from spinach stems he has followed
the methods of the Grenoble paper
making school and has produced a
product equal to the best japanese
in it's remarkable consistency. He
intimates in an article quoted in the
Journal of Industrial and Engineer
ing Chemistry of the American
Chemical society that with the
proper culture of spinach for this
purpose, remarkable economies in the
manufacture Of paper may be
achieved.

TELESCOPE TO SEE IN WATER.

A water telescope that is easy to
make is described in Popular Me-
chanics by S. Leonard Basin OF
Bournemouth, England. The device
is made by fitting heavy glass disk
into the end Of round metal tube
about two inches in diameter. The
glass is fitted between two rings of
metal, preferably with small fange
set against the glass. A waterproof
cement is used to fix the glass be-
tween the rings. To use the telescope
rest it on the side of boat or other
convenient place and set the lower
end, containing the glass, under the
water.

USE OF RUBBER GROWS.

Consumption of rubber per capita
is more than twice what is was Is
years ago. One company expects to
manufacture uppers Of shoes from
rubber as well as soles. This COM
pany will operate its own merchant
marine to bring crude rubber from
Sumatra and carry manufactured ar
ticles to all parts of the world. The
company now employs 1851 men
and manufactures 218,93O pairs of
rubber shoes a day. More than l.
100000 trees on Sumatra planta-
lions are being tapped.

DON'T KISS THE CAT.

It must be terrifying revelation
to those who kiss their cats, that has
been made by Professor Fiocci, the
Italian chemist. He has found by
experiment that when a cat ticks its
lips it spreads over them a saliva in
which there are swarms of minute
bacilli not free from danger to hui
man beings. When he inoculated
rabbits and guinea pigs with this
noxious substance they died within
"a hours; and he has come to the
conclusion that it is dangerous for
anyone to indulge in the habit Of
kissing cats.

ANcIENTs FEARED THE DOG.

Every race has looked upon the

to the horse. To many it has been a
