Skating Advice.

Don't skate very heavily clothed, ex-
cept in extremely cold weather.
Don't skate until exhausted and over
heated and then stop to rest in the cold
wind; that means a bad cold, some
times pneumonia.
When an overcoat is found an in
cumbrance wear paper or fiber vest;
it will protect the back and chest from
the wind
Don't try to skate in low shoes or
buttoned boots.
Don't wear extra high laced shoes
and do without straps, il possible, as
both hinder the freedom of the ankle
and stop circulation.
Always breathe through the nose. 1t
may be difficult at first, but after lit
tie practice it will be easy.

Her Compliment.

Balzac had for neighb0r at one
time a nobleman of high degree and

bound to excuse himself OH the nature

young lady. "when | read your books

SUITS TURNED" IN HUNGARY
TaiIor's Trick Now Saves the Labor
and Expense of a New
Garment

Budapest, Hungary.-It is a badge
of patriotism in Hungary nowadays to
wear coat with the side pocket on
the right-hand side, revealing that the
garment has been turned so as to make
it presentable, thus saving the labor
and expense Of a new suit. In fash
ionable restaurants and hotels one
sees many prominent people thus at
tired.
Nobody, not even a war millionaire,
can afford many new suits nowadays,
and the tailors are reluctant to make
clothes even at their own price, which
is now about 800, cash in advance, for
a suit which would cost about $50
in peace time. The tailor generally
tries to dlssuade wOuld-be customer
from ordering a new suit, at the same
time offering to turn his old suit and
make it look like new for $40 or $15.

EVERY FUR SEAL HAS HAREM
Male Sometimes Gathers More Than
100 Females on the Section of
Beach Which He Controls.

Fur seals are extremely pOlygamous
and the old males, which weigh
from 400 to 500 pounds, haul up"
first on the breeding beaches. Each
bull holds a cevtain area, and as the
females, only one-fifth his size, come
ashore they are appropriated by the
nearest bulls until each ''beach mas
ter" gathers a harem, sometimes con-
taining more than 100 members, says
the National Geographic Magazine.
Here the young are born, and after
the mating season, the seals which
have remained ashore without food
from to 6 weeks, return to the wa
ter. The mothers go and come, and
each is able TO find her young with
certainty among thousands Of ap-
parently identical woolly black pups"
From the ages Of one to four years
fur seals are extremely playful. They
are marvellous swimmers and frolic
about in pursuit of one another now
diving deep and then, one after the
other, suddenly leaping high above
the surface in graceful curves, like
porpoises. Squids and fish of various
species are their main food. Their
chief natural enemy is the killer
whale, which follows their migratiOns
and haunts the sea about their breed
ing ground, taking heavy toll among
them.

RESOURCES ARE GREAT
Wealth of Country Eight Times as
Great as During Civil War.
More Than 100000 Persons and Cor
Poratlons Able to Buy Liberty
Bonds, Uncle Sam Estimates.

"There are in the United States at
present more than ten million 10000
000) individuals and corporations who
are able to make subscriptions to the
new liberty loan in amounts ranging
from 500 to $1O0OOO,OO0 EACH" says
Uncle Sans comptroller of the cur
rency.
"This estimate is conservative when
we consider that there are more than
40,000,000 persons engaged in gainful
occupations in this country besides the
large number of men and women
whose income is derived from their in
vestments," he continues. "If every
individual in the United States should
subscribe to the new bonds to the ex-
tent of only per cent of his or her
total possessions, the loan will be sub
scribed to six times over.
"a few months ago the German gov
ernment offered a new loan of several
billion dollars, and although this issue
had been preceded by four or five 9TH
er government bond offerings, 1t is
reported that applications were re-
ceived from 5,250,000 subscribers. The
population of Germany is less than
twO-thirds of the population of this
country, and the estimated total wealth
of the German empire, according to a
computation made shortly before the
outbreak of the war by Doctor Helffe-
rich, secretary of the German treasury,
was placed at from 80 to 76 billion dol
lars, or about one-third of the wealth
of the United States, which is now es-
timated at more than 220 billion dol
lars.
"The reports of our national banks
Of March 5, 1917, show that on the day
named these banks had total of 15,-
737, ,969 deposit accounts. This is an
increase of $1,449,910 since May 1,
1916, when the total number of de-
pOsit accounts was 14,2SS,059. 1t Is
significant that 1,258,691, or seven
eighths of this increase, was reported
by the country banks, indicating the
wider diffusion of the wealth of the
country. The total increase of depOs-
its in the national banks in this period
of ten months was approximately two
billion dollars. The bank reports also
show that on March 5, 1917, there were
459619 shareholders in the national
banks Of the country, including 1885,
204 women stockholders.
"The latest bank returns indicate
that the total resources of the banks
Of the United States at this time, in
Guiding national banks, state banks
trust companies, savings banks and |
private banks, is approximately thirty.
five billion dollars $35,000,000, ,O00),
exceeding by far the greatest banking
ever before shown in any
"Fifty years ago we raised over three
(3) billion dollars to provide for the
expenses Of the Civil war. The wealth
If this country today is eight times as
great as it was then; our banking re-
sources are twenty times as great as
hey were then, or even as late as

Dutch First to Improve pIow.

The Dutch were probably the first
to introduce improvements worth
while in the plow. They devised the
first plow that turned a furrow, all
plows before that time being merely
used to break the surface Of the
ground. The first patent for a plow
went to Joseph Folpam5 in 1870. Jo-
seph Newbold patented one in this
country not long afterward, but Jeth-
ro Wood really invented the plow in use
today. His instrument was the first
to have u mold-board, a share and
land side in three pieces, so that they
could be replaced or sharpened singly
when worn.

Better Than Foreign Product.

Zinc powder is required for precipl-
tating gold and silver in the cyanide
process, and since the cutting off of
the supply from Germany and Belgi-
um, attempts have been made to meet
the demand by electrolytic methods.
II. J. Morgan and o. G. Ralston of the
United States bureau of mines, re-
port that the best product has been
obtained by electrolyzing at five volts
a solution of sodium zincatc, prepared
by saturating with zinc oxide 30 per
cent solution Of sodium hyroxide. The
supply of zinc in the bath is main
tanned by adding zinc oxide or using
zinc anodes, and the material obtained
is spongy zinc that crumbles to dust
when dried. The yield is pound
dust from about three kllowatt hours
of electric current, while the product
is claimed to have proven nearly twice
as efficient as the average grade Of
European zinc aus-
