lincoIn's Wealth at Time
of Death Was $110,296. 80

Do you know that Abraham Lincoln
was bit of a bloated bond holder in
his day? He was. That Is when you
consider the purchasing power of Il
dollar In his time to that Of the pres
ent. Old records in the county court
at Springfield. Ill.,, list the martyred
presidents accumulated wealth at his
death at $110, ,296.SO. That was pret-
ty good lump in 1866. President Lin
coin left no will. The money was
equally distributed among three rela-
tives-Mrs. Lincoln, Robert 4. Lincoln
and Thomas Lincoln. each receiving
$36.765.6O. The money was In bonds
and cash. Notes for money loaned ap-
proximating $4,000 are listed In the

Tidal Wave Has Nothing
to Do With the Tides

Tidal wave has nothing to do with
the tides. Any great onrush Of the
sea that overwhelms the land Is called
tidal wave. Such waves may be
due to various causes. They may rep
resent heaping up Of masses of wa
ter by hurricane of wind; or an
earthquake under the sea may be the
cause. Submarine volcanic erup-
tions are of not very infrequent oc-
currence, and earthquakes are liable
to accompany them. Or mere slip
ping of strata in the sea floor may
cause earthquakes. II. incidentally to
the volcanic or seismic disturbance,
one part of the sea floor sinks or an
other part rises there must be con-
sequent rush of water, which may as
sumo the proportions Of what Is
called a tidal wave.

Lack of Water in Blood

You become nervous, Respondent, sick,
feverish. irritable, have spots appearing
before the eyes. bags under the lids, and lack
ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means a
overcoming this trouble. is to eat sparingly
Of meat. drink plenty of water between
meals and take q single Anurio tablet before
each meal for q while.
Simply ask your druggist for Anurio
(anti-uric-acid) If you aren't feeling up to
the standard. II you have lumbago. rheu-
matism, dropsy, begin Immediately this
treatment with Anuric.
The physicians and specialists at Dr..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y,
have thoroughly tested this prescription
and have been with one accord successful in
eradicating these troubles.
Patients having once used Anuric at the
institution have repeatedly sent back for
more. Such demand has been created
that Doctor Pierce decided to put Anurio in
the drug stores Of this country, in q ready
to-use form.

Naturalist Describes and
Names Eighty-Six Species
of Browns and Grizzlies

All the Alaskan brown bears look
very much alike, says DR.. William T.
Hornaday. In Boys Life. To be more
exact, they strongly show the dis
tinguishing characteristics of their
group. Some are light brown, some
are dark brown, and some have dark
legs and light bodies. If / should try
to name even the best-known species,
and give their characteristics, no one
would remember them for two hours.
1t is not aniss, however, to give here
the names and places Of the species
that are at this moment living in our
geological park collections; and in do
Ing 50 will begin with the most
sOutherly species we have and work
northward:
Admiralty bear. Ursus eulophus. Ad-
miralty island.
Yakutat bear. Ursus DALI. Yakutat
bay.
kadiak bear. Ursus middendorfi,
Kadiak island.
Peninsula bear. Ursus DALI gyas,
Alaskan peninsula.
Kobuk bear. Ursus innuitus, Kobuk
river.
Last year startling thing hap
pened. For full quarter Of CEN
tury. Doctor Merriam has been col
iecting bear skulls and studying North
American bears. And then, all of a
sudden, out came from him an inno-
cent-looking little pamphlet describ-
ing and naming SO species Of Alaskan
brown bears and grizzly bears! And
Doctor Merriam declares that the
skulls before him left him nothing else
to do.
OF course we cannot follow up the
devoted SO species, and become per-
sonally and permanently acquainted
with each one. 1t is about all l can
dot to keep step with the five live spe-
cies daily before me.

THE TWO VILLAGES

Over the river on the hill,
Lieth village white and still:
All around It the forest trees
SILVER and whisper in the breeze:
Over It sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses. low and sweet
Grow In the middle of every street.
Over the river. under the hill
Another village lieth STILL
There see In the cloudy night
Twinklng stars of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smithy's door,
Mists that curl on the river shore:
And in the roads no grasses grow.
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill
Never is sound of smithy or mill;
The houses are thatched with grass and
flowers:
Never a clock to toll the hours;
The marble doors are always shut,
You can not enter in hall or hut;
All the villagers lie asleep;
Never again to SOW or reap:
Never In dreams to moan or sigh:
Silent and idle and low they lie.
In that village under the hill,
When the night is starry and still.
Many weary soul In prayer
Looks to the other village there.
And weeping and signing, longs to 70
Up to that home from this below;
Longs to sleep In the forest wild,
Whittier have vanished wife and child,
And heareth. praying. this answer fall:
Patience. that village shall hold ye all!s

Inventions by Women Are
on lnCreaSe-FirSt Was
by Connecticut Matron

The first patent taken out by n wom-
an was for process of weaving straw
with silk by a Mrs. Mary Kiser of Con-
necticut in 1909, and she has had. as
time went on, many followers in in
genuity, so that at Washington there
is wOman's department, with the
specifications of the patents arranged
In chronological order. observes Lon
don Tit-Bits.
1t was not till 1894 that the British
comptroller general of patents thought
1t worth while to ascertain the num-
ber of woman inventors. and the war
has naturally decreased their numbers,
but whereas there were nearly 400 ap-
plications for patents from women in
1913, In 1914 there were $50, and in
1917 253. and in 1918. 2S6. so that the
total is rising again.
During the war the outstanding In
ventiOn was Mrs. Bertha Ayrton's fan
for sending back gas and smoke fumes.
Other inventions of national impor-
tance of late years were Mrs. Ernest
Harris for waterproofing fabrics. dis

Average Size Of MiIady's
Shoe Is Now 5 or 512, Due
To Walking and Athletics

The fairy prince would have
harder time than ever fitting his Gin
derella today. because women's feet
are growing larger year by year. This
fact Is made known by the managing
director of one Of the largest London
shoe factories.
"During the last fifty years." he
said, "EnglishwOmen's feet have in
creased enormously In length. A No.
3 shoe was worn by the average wom-
an In the middle of the last century.
whereas the average now worn Is 8
or 5h. We find that skies. and even
larger shoes, can hardly be kept in
stock. they are so much in demand.
"The cause Of this growth of wom-
ems feet can be attributed to the
amount Of walking they do and the
number of games they play from their
earliest childhood"
Women's feet are much larger than
they used to be. but this does not
mean that they are no longer beauti-
full. Public taste has changed with
the size of feet, and small foot Is
no longer considered necessary for
beauty. Indeed, the shoe manusac-
turer explained that long. slender
foot Is considered more desirable than
short. inelegant one.
Long lines are the thing nowa-
days." he said. There is n clamor for
long, graceful footwear. and fashion
