standard act by the British Parlia-

would be an effective aid toward gen

FEDERAL RESERVE
LAUDS GOLD PLAN
Board Explains Arrangement
With Bank of England
for Credit System.

The Federal Reserve Board in a
lengthy statement made public last
night commented upon the benefits it
believes will be derived by Great
Britain's return to the gold standard
and revealed details of the plans by
which American financial interests
will support Great Britain in the
maintenance of that standard.
The statement deals largely with
the arrangement made between the
Bank of England and the New York
Federal Reserve Bank prior to the
establishment of the gold standard
and abolition of the ban on gold eX-
ports from England Other Federal
Reserve banks also are participating
in the creation of a credit of $780,
000, 900 for the Bank of England, upon
which it can draw when and if con
ditions require. Another transaction
supporting the gold standard is the
establishment of a direct credit of
100000, 900 to the British government
by j. P. Morgan & Co.
OF the credit arrangement with the
reserve banks the board said:
Under its arrangement with the
Bank of England, the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York undertakes to sell
gold on credit to the Bank of England
from time to time during the next two
wears, but not to exceed 5000, 100000
outstanding at any one time. the
credit is to bear interest to the extent
that 1t is actually used at rate OF l
per cent above the New York Reserve
Banks discount rate, with minimum
of per cent and d maximum or b per
cent, or, il the Federal Reserve dis
count rate exceeds 6 per cent, then at
the rediscount rate of the bank. The
rate of interest to be paid by the Brit
ish government on the credit which II
has established is to be determined in
a similar manner.
Keep Deposit in England.
Upon the purchase ofgold the Bank
of England will place on its books TO
the credit of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York an equivalent de-
posit in pounds sterling. This deposit
may be used from time to time by
arrangement with the Bank of Eng
land in the purchase of eligible sterl-
ing commercial bills, which shall be
guaranteed by the Bank of England,
and in that case discount earned on
the bills will be applied to the pay
ment of interest.
IF occasion arises for the use of this
credit support can be given to sterling
exchange either through the purchase
of sterling bills in New York or
abroad, or gold can he shipped to
other countries on British account.
Thus the Bank of England could meet
A foreign demand for gold without
reducing it's own reserves, or it could
replenish it's reserves by withdrawing
gold from this country or by earmark-
ing it in New York. The form in
which the credit would be used would
depend upon the circumstances at the
time.
I'm January of this year the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York was au
thorized by the Federal Reserve Board
TO make the arrangements with the
Bank of England which have been de
Hcribed. After the passage Of the gold

Greek City Once Home
of the Apostle Paul

Scholars state that st. Paul's short
epistle to Titus was written during
his short period of freedom after his
first Imprisonment in Rome, but not
long before his second Imprisonment
with which the scriptural account of
the career of the great apostle termi-
mates. In the twelfth verse of the
third chapter st. Paul directs Titus
to come to him at Nicopolis, ''for 1
have determined there to winter"
This Nicopolis was the celebrated city
of Epirus. 1t was known as the CITY
OF Victoria" and was built by the en-
peror Augustus in memory of his
naval victory at Actium over the COM
bined forces of Antony and Cleopatra.
This victory practically made Octa-
vtus, later Augustus, the ruler of the
Roman empire. The battle of Actium
was fought in the year 81 B. c.. and
four years later Octavius was pro-
claimed emperor with the title of Au-
gustus. Nicopolis stood on a penin-
sula On the west coast of Greece and
on one side of the peninsula was the
bay of Actium, the scene of the battle
that takes its name from that of the
bay. According to tradition, it was at
Nieopolis that st. Paul was made a
prisoner for the second time and car.

F arnaer Has Advantage
CUer DsUelIer in Civ

1t Is common complaint that the
farm and farm life are not appreci-
ated by our people. We long for more
elegant pursuits, or the ways and
fashions of the town. But the farmer
has the most sane and natural occu-
patton and ought to find life sweeter,
if less highly seasoned, than any 9TH
er. He alone, strictly speaking, has
home.
How can man take root and thrive
without land? He writes his history
upon his field. How many ties, how
many resources, he has-his friend
ships with his cattle, his team, his
dog, his trees, the satisfaction In his
growing crops, in his improved fields;
his intimacy with Nature with bird
and beast, and with the quickening
elemental forces; his cooperation with
the clouds, the sun, the seasons, heat,
wind rain, frost,
Nothing will take the various social
Dis empers which the city and arti-
fetal life breed out of a man like
farming, like direct and loving contact
with the soil. 1t draws out the poi
son. 1t humbles him, teaches him pa
sience and reverence, and restores the
proper tone to his system.-John Bur
rOughs.

Honaing Instinct Strongly
Developed in the Pig

a pig belonging to a Texas farmer
was sold to a dealer who lived eight
miles away. The morning after the
sale the pig reappeared in its old sty,
having escaped from its new quarters
during the night.
The homing instinct is stronger In
the pig than in most animals. An in
stance similar to the above occurred
In Illinois, where a pig travelled IA
miles back to It's old home, after be-
ing sold In a local market.
Darwin believed the pig capable of
developing the sagacity Of a dog. For
example, SOW belonging to a Wis
consin farmer was trained to hunt
game, at which it became more ex-
pert than most pointers. The fame
Of this animal spread far and wide,
and tempting offers were made to buy
it.
Records show that pigs in former
days were often used as beasts of bur
den, while there is at least one we'll
authenticated instance of pig being
employed for rounding up sheep. Per-
haps the most curious use to which
the species has ever been put was to
dEaw carriage for an eccentric Eng
lish nobleman.

CoSsandru of Troy

Cassandra was the daughter of
Priam, king of Troy, and was regarded
as prophecies. She, during the long
siege of Troy, uttered various predic-
lions of impending cafamities which
were disregarded at the time but veri-
fed in the event. During the plumber
of Troy, B. C. 1854, she took refuge in
the temple of Minerva, where she was
barbarously treated by Ajax. In the
division of the spells she fell to the lot
of Agamemnon, who brought her
home, where she excited the jealousy
of Clytemnestra. In consequence,
Cassandra and Agamemnon were both
murdered by Clytemnestra and her
paramount.
Cassandra is said to have been sur
passingly beautiful and to have had
many suitors in the fiourishing times
of classic Troy-Chicago Journal

Young WOLVES in Packs

AS rule, wolves travel in packs
only in the winter. The mating sea
son for most wolves is in December
and January. The young are born
in burrows usually excavated by the
wolves themselves. During the period
Of confinement the male feeds the fe-
male. There are generally from four
to six cubs in a litter. They are
blind for p days and are sucked for
about two months. At the end Of one
month they are able to eat half di-
gested flesh disgorged by the mother.
They usually quit their parents in No
vember or December, just before the
pairing season, when they are less
than year old, but frequently the
young remain together six or eight
months longer. Wolves reach matur-
ity in about three years. Hence the
only young wolves found in packs are
half-grown wolves which have left
their mothers.-Pathfnder Magazine.

Pythons Sold by Yard

When shows and museums find It
necessary to replenish their stock of
pythons and boas they usually have to
buy them by the yard, according to
Popular Mechanics Magazine. New
York forms the center of the snake
importing industry in America, and
each year men go from there to At
RIGA, India, Sumatra and South Ameri-
ca, returning in the spring with hun
dreds of the big reptiles. A seven-foot
python can be had for about $50, &C
cOrding to snake dealers, while
length of % feet-found in the regal
specimens from Sumatra-runs the
price up from 5000 or S7O0 Boss
come smaller Sixteen feet is said to
be the maximum at an age of eight
or ten years. In price these also start
at about $50 and run as high as $500.

Wasps

Possibly the best known of Fabre's
discoveries is of the wasp who stings
her prey with exact surgery so as to
paralyze but not to kill, and then packs
it away with her larvae, who need liv-
Ing food but would be killed by the
insect it it were not paralyzed. The
mother wasp, who never sees her
young, thus makes the most complete
and intricate scientific preparations
for the safety as well as the nourish-
ment of their early days. Those of
US whose minds are not drugged by
some mere word, like instinct, must
forever stand amazed before such Won
iers of planning.-Norman Hapgood
in Hearst's International.

TondsEones

Certain black pebbles, known as
toadstones, which toads were reputed
to carry in their heads, though of lit
tie beauty as ornaments, were highly
esteemed during the dark ages be-
cause of their alleged spower to heal
various kinds of digestive disorders
and for their supposed protective influ-
ence over children. The wearer of one
was thought immune from toothache /;
they were held as antidotes for poisons
and believed to warn of the approach
of a venomOus reptile by imparting q
stinging sensation to the tlesh.-Popu-

Great Skill Required
IN Training of HarUks

Various kinds of hawks were trained
for the purpose of falconry. Each
bird had it's own style of flying and
its own particular method of taking
the quarry, opinion as to which spe-
citic kind of hawk was the best being
divided
But of them all none was more gen.
orally popular than the noble pere-
grine-a frst-rate flyer, docile, tract
able and extremely courageous, says
Capt. c. w. r. Knight, NJ O., in the
pastime which once played so great
q part in the lives of the English, and
to which reference Is made in the
works of such authors as Shakespeare
and Scott.
For grouse hawking the female, be
ing a heavier, stronger bird than the
male, is generally used, for she is bet
ter fitted to take and hold a strong
old cock grouse. She it is who is
called falcon" the male being known
as the "tiercel" because he is one
third less in size than the female
The art of falconry consists in per-
suading a naturally fierce, wild bird
to do for her owner exactly what she
would do in any case in the wild
state-fn short to display at close
quarters the amazing powers of flight
with which she has been equipped by
nature.
If she should be so successful in her
flight as to strike her quarry, she dis
patches it immediately-and in most
professional manner-a sharp bite at
the base of the skull and it is all
over. On the other hand, if the hawk
fails to come up with her quarry-is
perhaps Outiown, beaten in the air
she fails completely. The intended
victim disappears, doubtless rejoicing,
into the blue, and it is up to the dis
consulate falconer to recover his
erring charge as soon as he can.

how to take care of books. The chill
