MUCH LIKE HEN IN AMERICA
Guinea Pigs in Peru Are Kept to
Serve as Provisions for the
Unexpected Visitor.

Hiram Bingham, the new lieutenant
governor of Connecticut, has Just pub
liShed a book, Inca Land" in which
he describes the famous Yale expedi-
ton into Peru, Of which ne was the
director. Life as he lived in the
Andes has a number of points of diff
ference from that in the New England
states, For instance, he says that in
Peru the housewife keeps fat little
guinea pigs running around her kitch-
en- floor to fill in for any emergencies,
much as the American will have a
few tins of sardines and cans of pre-
serves on hand. A guinea pig, he
points out, is, In spite of Ellis Parker
Butler, not a pig, and it does not come
from Guinea. 1t is more of rabbit
Shan anything else, and for thousands
of years 1t has been a priced article
of food in the Andes of Peru Why,
he wonders, should the North Ameri-
can guinea pigs be kept only as pets
or laboratory victims? The meat, he
says, Is delicious and not unlike
SQUAD.

When Bitten by a Mad Dog.

Hydrophobia in man and rabies In
dogs can be prevented by course of
injections of dried spinal cord from
rabbits which have died of expert
mental rabies fixed virus). The treat
ment is available in every community
In the United States and every ply
stefan knows how to order the treat
ment by telegraph from the state
board of health. One out of six per-
sons bitten by mad dog dies in hor-
rlble agony If not treated. If bitten
by dog, follow that dog at all haz-
ards, until you can get assistance to-
catch it. DO not Kill it, but place it In
a secure place for observation. If
symptoms of rabies appear, apply only
for anti-rabie treatment through your
family physician. If the dog is rabid
it will die-send the head packed in
ice to the board Of health laboratory
for diagnosis, says HAROLD l.. AHaoss,

CANNOT MASTER SHORTHAND
Mon Of Acknowledged Ability Have
Failed In Efforts to Learn Even
Simple Systema.

Lord Beaverbrook, speaking at the
annual prize-giving of Pitman's school
at the Royal Albert hall, says the Lon
don Morning Post, said that 1t was a
curious fact that some men Of great
ability had failed In the attempt to
learn shorthand.
He mentioned that Lord Carson was
one example, and the present prime
minister another. 1t was not a ques
ton Of cleverness, or even Of mem
DRY. Bonar Law possessed an extraor-
binary memory. When he first became
leader of the conservative party, 1t
was his habit on the occasion of any
great set debate in the house Of com
mons to dictate to his secretary the
speech that he intended to make. He
would read 1t through, and then go
down to the house and repeat 1t with
scarcely the alteration of word. He
would sometimes quote long mathe-
NAUTICAL calculations entirely from
memory yet he confessed to having
striven very hard to learn shorthand,
and without success.
7. M. Healy, now the governor gen.
eral of the Irish Free State, used to
make use of shorthand in the de-
bates.-New York Tribune.

SHIP INSPECTORS AT WORK
Branch of United States Department
of Agriculture Has Largely
Extended Scope of Duties.

All fruits and vegetables consumed
on passenger ships operated by the
United States shipping board out of
New York will hereafter be inspected
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. it is announced. APP
proXimntely 100000 pounds of fruits
and vegetables a month are consumed
on the II large vessels in this service
Arrangements are also under way to
make federal inspections of produce
consumed in army and navy hospitals
in New York. The inspection service
of the Department of Agriculture has
made tremendous growth since its in-
auguration in 1917 when inspections
offices were opened Mt New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago
Minneapolis, Kansas City and Fort
Worth. About COCO inspections were
made during the first eight months
of the service and 30 stations were

SIZING UP NATIONS WEALTH
Middle Atlantic States Have Largest
Income, With Nevada at tho End
Of the List.

What is the richest part Of the Unit
ed States-the richest, that Is, in the
sense of having the largest income?
Probably most people would have no
difficulty in answering this question.
That the Middle Atlantic states have
the largest amount of liquid cash
would naturally be expected from their
great population and Industrial devel-
opment And from this standpoint the
Middle Atlantic states are the most
prosperous, and, as would be expected,
New York, with an income of more
than $4,000, 100000, leads all the rest,
whereas Nevada, with S65,0OO,OOO
brings up at the tail II the procession.
The figures have recently been COM
piled by DR.. Wesley c. Mitchell and
published by the National Bureau Of
Economic Research.
Yet there is another way in which
to gauge prosperity and perhaps, upon
the whole, 1t is a more satisfactory
test That Is the per capita distribu-
ton. Is that section the richest which
has the largest aggregate income or
that in which the individual income Is
the largest? Probably most philoso-
pliers would incline to the latter view.
And in this regard the Pacific states
have a slight advantage over the Mid
die Atlantic-S796 as compared with
1913. Yet New York state, with an
average income per person Of 1914, is
still at the head of the list.
This study also discloseS the earn
ings of farmers, which, in some parts
of the country, are high-as incomes
go. In 1919 farmers in the Pacific
states averaged $500 year and in
the West North Central states, $1,000.
The few remaining agriculturists
who are attempting to scratch living
from the dlscouraging hills Of New
England are obliged to content them
selves with SLIGO, while Alabama and
Mississippi weld their farmers less
than 5000 q year.-World's Work.
