Dread Of Poverty.

A great deal Of apparent poverty
comes from dread Of poverty. man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry and, ten to one, he Is
starving somebody else at the same
time along with himself He is really
poor, for the time being, although he
has a large bank account. Poverty
will come every time as the result OF
the improper attitude toward money.
Money Is not reality; 1t represents
things that we consider for our good.
But there Is no poverty like that OF
the starved soul that shrinks and
dries up into narrowness and compress
sion. In getting the feeling OF
wealth, look about you. See all the
wonders of nature; believe that won.
ders will happen and then get ready
for them. After the days work Is
done, build. air castles, and then 60
in and lay a strong foundation under
one of them. Expect to develop into
efficiency necessary for the bigger job.
The key to this lies in your hands
In doing the little things well.-Pat.

Lead Poisoning In Waterfowl.

According to Mr.. Alexander Wet
more Of the United States biological
survey, lead poisoning In waterfowl,
which has been known for number
of years, has recently assumed cOnsid-
cradle economic importance. Wild
ducks, whistling swans and few 9th
er birds subject to the disease, pick
up and swallow pellets Of shot lying
in the mud in marshes and shallow
lakes about old shooting blinds. The
shot remains in the stomach until it
has been ground into fine particles by
bits Of gravel, swallowed to aid d.
gestiOn, and part Of the lead is pro-
gressively absorbed into the system,
resulting in slow paralysis, enlaciation
and death. Mr.. Wetmore's expert
ments show that in some cases a sin.
gle No. 6 shot is sufficient to cause
death by lead poisoning.--Scientific

SMALL REWARD FOR BIG FIND
Man Who Discovered Gold in Aus
tralia Remunerated by the Mag
nficent Gift Of Five Dollars.
Advertisement.

The first discovery OF gold In Aus
tralia was made as early as 1852 DJ
a convict servant Of Scotch settler
named McAlister. This man found
nugget of what he rightly conceived
TO be gold while tending his masters
sheep near where the town OF Bnllara'
now stands, and took 1t to McAllster'
who submitted 1t to the governor, Slr
George Gipps.
The latter had it assayed, and found
that it really was gold, but fearing
mutiny of the convicts If the truth
were allowed to become known, he
kept his knowledge to himself. Mean
while, he ordered the finder of the
specimen to be given sovereign (So)
In recognition Of his "enterprise."
This is probably the smallest re-
ward ever given to a white man fof
what was the biggest find recorded In
history, for when, II years later, Ed
ward Hargreaves rediscoyered these
same goldfields, many millions sterling
were taken from them In the course OF
q few months.

Suicides Iu Philadelphia.

A suicidal wave has been sweeping
over Philadelphia. In the last 4s hours
there have been l2 self-inficted deaths.
Physicians connected with the coroner's
office declare that the suicides are psy-
Geological result of the ending OF the war
1t is explained by the physicians that
a general nervous depression has follow
ed the excitement due to the jubilation
over the triumph of the Allies and that
the reaction has been most marked IN
persons of morbid disposition. In such
individuals personal troubles have been
exaggerated, leading to great despond-
ency and in many cases to selt-destruc-
tion.
Of the many strange suicides reported
none has proved more inexplicable than
that of Angelo Jacovilli, the largest ice
cream cone manufacturer in United States.
Jacovili had amassed fortune in the
business. His health was good and ne
was engaged to be married. No reason
has been discovered to explain why ne
shot himself, the only clue is a letter
found. addressed to his sweetheart, Miss
Alma Beatrice Yost, containing $1,000.

Garters and suspenders are going

ing that the price of rubber webbing

that the United States Government

the manufacture of suspenders and

All the men on this side in need OF

That the American Red Cross has
