Proper Care Of Pet Fish.

Fish are not hard to raise. The
greatest danger to which they are
subjected in disease is the fungous
growth that attacks the fins and tail.
This can be detected by the dropping
of Of bits Of the fins and tail. and
by the tiny red streaks that mark the
part that remains. To treat. give the
fish bath in strong solution of salt
water, letting him remain in this un-
til he fiops over on his side. Repeat in
the course of day or two until the
growth Is checked. For more severe
cases, weak solution Of permangnn-
ate of potassium Is used. Allow the
fish to lie in this minute or two,
then replace IL fresh water.-Kansas

LEANED TO NEWSPAPER WORK
Andrew carnesie's Early Ambition
Was to Be Great Editor-Burns
Resisted Lure Of journalism.

Andrew Carnegie in his early days
had an ambition to enter the newspa-
per business, but when he failed to OBJ
tain position on the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, he turned his talents in other
directions and finally became Americas s
leading iron and steel manufacturer.
Robert Burns, on the other hand,
spurned efforts to induce him to go in
to journalism and thus made the way
clear for his becoming .the most be-
loved Of Scottish bards. These points
were brought out in an address given
by William VIII, president of the Lon
don Burns club.
The first attempt to get Burns in the
newspaper line was when Peter Stuart
Of the London Morning Post started the
Star. Burns declined to give active
assistance in turning out the paper, al
though he occasionally contributed ar
ticles. Later James Perry, proprietor
Of the London Morning Chronicle, Of
fered Burns f5 week to join the staff.
Burns refused the offer on the plea
that his duties as an excise officer
would prevent him from attending to
the work. Nothing ever resulted, Ell
ther from the suggestions that Burns
write three-act comic opera.

why WASTE ONES LlFETIME7
After All, a. Lincoln Said, the World
viii Little Know Nor Long
Remember.

In an article In the American Maga-
zine one man says to another who was
very sensitive and worried a great
deal:
Exactly he grunted. "A few years
ago they were live men like you and
me. They grew up and did their busi-
ness and loved and married and died.
Some Of them passed happily along
their way, believing the best Of their
fellows, doing their Jobs whole heart
edly and well, spreading bit of sun
shine among the folks they came In
contact with, extracting every drop OF
sweetness from every single day. And
others went through, wrapped up in
side their own little selves. envying
their neighbors, fancying themselves
abused, worrying over trifles, always
on the lookout for Sights, spelling a
full 90 per cent Of their days through
their own pettiness. Aid few days
pass, and they all are laid out here to-
gether, the men who laughed their way
through life and made others laugh a
little more, and the men who gnawed
their hearts out. All lying side by
side, never to live again.
Think of the things that those
dead men worried about. What do
they amount to now? Think of the
good luck that they envied in other fell
lows. Who in the world remembers
1t? They had one little lifetime to live,
and they spoiled 1t by over-sensitive-
ness and jealousy. Doesn't it strike
you as an awfully foolish way to waste
lifetime, when it's the only lifetime
that you will ever haveY"

Knitting, Revived Art.

Knitting, as a handicraft, almost
universal among our grandmothers,
and now being revived by women all
over the world, received its DEATH
blow from the invention OF Isaac Wix-
an Lamb, who was born in Salem,
Mich, about IS years ago.
Lambs invention Of the knitting
machine, the first perfected apparat-
us Of its kind, transformed the art of
knitting from a home occupation to n
great manufacturing industry. His
machine is capable Of producing more
than 30 varieties Of knit goods and
makes 1000 loops minute Mt ordi-
nary speed, turning out both fiat and
tubular work. Later inventors have
worked improvements In the process.
AS one result of the war knitting
needles are again in vogue, and their
click may now be heard in the homes,
in the theaters, in the. street cars and
every other place. In all probability,
however, home knitting will pass with
the years.

DEFENDS LOWER BIRTH-RATE
Writer In Leading Scottish Publication
Sees No Cause for Alarm In
Its Continuance.

This Is the rule of evolution-fewer
offspring, a longer period of infancy,
and more careful parental care. Wher-
ever one looks in the animal kingdom
he finds that rule working, a writer in
the Edinburgh Review points out.
Among fishes. species that exhibit
no sort of parental care, the average
Of 40 gives 100000 eggs to female
each year; while among those which
make nests or any apology for nests
the number Is only about 10000.
Coming down through human history
one finds the same law working.
Among savage or semicivilized peoples
the birthrate Is very high, as Is also
the deathrate through enemies and dis
ease. But, as fast as civilization makes
Its influence felt, the result is seen in
a lowered birthrate, accompanied by
better care Of the fewer children who
are born.
Havelock Ellis recently pointed out
that the nations in Europe which were
most ready and eager for war-Ger-
many, Russia, Serbia, Austria-are the
countries Of highest birthrate, and
hence Of greatest economic pressure.
And he adds: Those who would seek
to restore the birthrate Of half a CEN
tury ago are engaged in a task which
would be criminal II 1t were not based
on ignorance and which Is In any case
fatuous."

CRUELTY NOT FEMININE VICE
Unfair to Lay individual Cases Of
Thouehtlessness At the Door Of
the Entire Sex.

An Official of the New York Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to AMI
mails complains Of "cruel women who
come to the meetings of the society
wearing aigrettes of the plumage of
birds that are obtained by the slaugh.
ter of the mother bird and the starva-
ton Of the brood"
On this solid foundation Of fact one
might feel secure in concluding that
women are. as a sex, more cruel than
men.
All eyes have seen the women with
the bird on her hat. She wears this
particular badge of her cruelty where
1t cannot escape being seen and for the
sole reason that 1t may be seen.
But is 1t not unfair to condemn wom-
en- rs utterly cruel because of this one
fault? After all. 1t is not so much a
fault as frailty. Women's vanity is
an overpOwering passion. and if they
must feed it upon the plumage of
slaughtered birds, are they any worse
than men who glut their greed upon
the fruits Of others life-crushing toll :?
Cruelty is really very infrequent
vice among women. Even bird-wearing
Is far from being universal among
them. 1t is impossible not to remem-
ber that the whole structure of the
movement on behalf of humanity to all
creatures which has reached greater
proportions in this country than in any
other is founded in the first instance
on the ehder-heartedness of American
women. 1t would be interesting to
know how for the s. p. G. A. movement
would ever have progressed but for
the inspiration and enthusiasm that
have come from women.-Christian

George Mason was enc Of the great

his son, then in France, God bless
YOU, my child! and grant that we may

each other more, is the prayer CT
your affectionate father"
In another letter, he wrote, f" | will

MONSIEUR sRGoT'IN.

~
One of the most interesting short
stories published in connection with
the present war was written by Vii
liam Caire, copy Of which was sent
to the Gazette Office some time ago.
We read it with interest, as it was
brief and to the point.
Monsieur Segotin conducted cigar
stand at Ostend during the summer
season when people from many places
in Europe spent the heated term at
the popular Belgian resort on the
North Sea. The author of the story
smoked aid he purchased his favorite
Irands from the Monsieur. On one oc-
cssion the author started converse
ton with the old MIN, during WHICH
the latter referred TO a number or
Germans who were then lettering OH
.he beach, and said: 'You see those
Teutons. They come here every sum
mer. | have as little to say to- them
as possible. know time will come
when they will come here for the pEr-
pose of staying. Representatives OF
this race are scattered over the globe.
They are dreaming of world DONNA
ton. They had better be watched"
These words were uttered years be
fore Germany started to conquer the
world. Shortly after war was declared.
and when parts of Belgium, includ!r.
Cs:end, had fallen into their hands,
the author of the story met Monsieur
Segotin III London. The old man was
than refugee in foreign land. After
irterchanges Of opinion on the war
Monsieur said: 81 told you tire
would arrive when the Germans would
come to Ostend to stay. They have
long had their mind fixed on this move
rent. They are there now and have
leen forced to leave my all in thcii
hands"
We hone Monsieur Segotin is still
living and that he may enjoy the proud
satisfaction of realizing that hi; be-
loved Ostcnd is no longer in the hands;
