In some cases it is impossible for me to read the meters and I have been forced to use my judgment in mak- ing out these bills. That may ac- count for some of the discrepancy.” Shows to Tamper Meter. Mr. Eckstrum then opened a wa- ter meter and showed the council how easy it is to run the readings up to ridiculous figures by setting the wheel in motion for only a few seconds. While he did not directly charge that the meters have been tampered with, he said that it was possible, even probable that this had been done in some cases. The way to prevent this, he said, is to seal the meters with regular meter seals, and the committee on investigation was instructed to do this while mak- ing their investigations. The water clerk explained certain iustances where it was only acci- dent and cold weather that had made the difference. Several of the met- ers of the city have been “out of kilter"” for some time, and have not | been running. Says Meters are Frozen. “Many persons do not watch their | meters closely.” said Mr. Eckstrum, “and in the recent cold spell it was easy for the meters to become froz- en and stop running. In the case| of the Netzer Drug Store the meter| had run up to the one-million mark and had then been set back, which brings the discrepancy down to 11,- 000 gallons, which is not at all to be wondered at since it is impossible to read that meter in the winter.” Following Mr. Eckstrum's defense. Alderman Tom Smart said: “These figures tend to show that an investigation certainly is necded. It is up to the water committee to get busy.” W. C. Klein is chairman of the water committee and other members are Joseph Bisiar and S. C. Bailey. The committee was instructed to; make its investigation under sealed meters and report at the meeting of January 22.

TRADE IN WOODEN SHOES Scarcity of Willow Wood Has Stead- led Market, Which Was Unsettied by Overproduction. Last year was unfavorable to the ‘wooden shoe manufacturers in Hol land owing to the keen competition of the Belgians and a decided over: | production here. This year’s pros- Pects are somewhat brighter. The scarcity of willow wood, from | Which those shoes were formerly | made, has caused the market to steady up a little. Poplar and some Russian woods are also being used more extensively than heretofore. The cost of the wod from which the shoes are made is about $6 per cubic meter, out of which 100 pairs of ordinary size can be made. The Wholesale price of these shoes is 12 cents. One workman is able to make 12 to 15 pairs in a day, from which it can be inferred how narrow is the margin of profit in the industry. Relatively few wooden shoes are produced by machinery for -export, but with this exception all the woo en shoes gre made by hand in Hi land. About twenty different tools are requiréd in the operation. A year or so ago several German capitalists started factories in this country to make wooden shoes by machinery, but fafled. * Machine’inade shoes, it 1is #ald, are not well finished, and -some handwork. s always necessary to | of Garcas contains prodigious riches { which may be secured without exs QROUGHT DOWN TWO VICTIMS Sut the Deer Hunter Got Surpries of Hls Life When He Exam- Ined Them, One of the best hunting storles of the season comes from northern Wism consln, where a prominent resident of Phillips, accompanied by a friend, slipped out of town one evening two days in advance of the legal opening day of thé season for killing deer, His object was to hunt deer at night by the air of a strong reflector dark lantern. He succeeded in a way far beyond his most optimistic hopes in killing something, but his overwhelm- Ing surprise on first viewing the “game” may be better imagined than written, and his language was horrid, He drove his own team of hors: valued at $600, and some distance from town he turned into ar aban doned logging road, traversing ~ for several miles. Then he tied up the team and prowled about in the woods for half an hour with his light. Suddenly he heard a snort, and the light revealed a pair of glaring eyes from some animal a short distance away. In his excitement he handed the light to his friend and banged at the eyes. Down tumbled the animal, and instantly there was a commotion n the same spot, and the light re- vealed another pair of glaring eyes. The hunter quickly fired and the sec oud animal dropped. The hunters rushed forward with their light, and to their dismay found | that both their horses were shot and killed. They had circled about and confronted the team in their ram- blings, S —— 'MORE DIAMONCS IN BRAZIL| Excitement Caused By New Discevery of Great Field in the State of Goyaz. Newspapers just recelved from Rio de Janeiro show symptoms of excite- ment over reports of the recent dis- covery of a great diamond field in the state of Goyaz, republic of Bra- zil, in a little stream called the Gar- cas, one of the mmor affluents of the Araguaya, which flows north toward the Amazon. The state of Goyaz is| directly west of the state of Bahia and lies near the center of Brazil. It s a wild and thinly settled region, the scant population about the dia mond fields being composed of In- dians. The news of this find has already, it is sald, brought to the diamond coune try a thousand eager “garimpeiros” (diamond hunters). The first finds in the field indicate that the stream treme labor. The exact location and course of this stream are scarcely known, as it appears on few maps. The states that are even within three or four hundred miles of the field are now interested In exploring their own rivers in the hope of finding like diamond_deposits. _— But In Her Case— Woman’s wit readily adapts itself to all places and all occasions. A woman lecturer was delivering a practical talk on beauty and the beauty cult for the entertainment of the Woman's Professional league of New York at an interesting session one afternoon. In the course of her lecture the speaker emphasized the point that cer- tain measurements were fundamental ly important. Unhappily, however, the lecturer herself had a form—it her unusual bulk could be dignified by such a term—that was fashioned on anything but the lines of the Keller- mann type. - Proceeding with her dissertation on meagurements, she held up a very fat, round wrist, and said: “Now, twice around my wrist, once around my throat. Twice around my throat, once around my waist. Twice around my waist—" “Once around Central Park!” ex- ploded an irrepressible young thing out in the audience, and the storm of !laughter that followed was altogether Immeasurable.—Sunday Magazine, SHOES MADE OF SNAKESKIN Fashlonable Women of London Being Tempted to Conquer Their Aversion to Reptiles. From all reptiles the ordinary wom- an shrinks in disgust. Yet fashion- sble Women are now' being tempted to conquer their aversion to the ex- tent of weargng snakeskin shoes. One of the smartest boot ‘shops in the west end of London is ‘“featuring” these shoes; but up to the present it seems to be uncertain if the fashion “will really establish itself on wide- spread lines. Choice of quite a varlety of skins is offered. There is the dark and heavily-marked skin of the deadly cobra, or the lighter skin, with its more delicate pigment markings, of the rapacious python. The sking of the viper and the boa-constrictor have also been made up. Snake skin is very soft, pliable,.and durable. ‘The shoes are expensive, of course, for.the skins are not too plentiful, but this tactor should rather commend itself to smart people, as it renders it much more difficult to copy the fashion on cheap lines. Broken-Hearted Dog. The Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Monticello, N.

L BIT OF A SCOTCH PUZZL Because Scotch Policeman Is Not Po- liceman cn Sunday Leaves Questlion Unsettled. When {8 a policeman not a police- man? This Is & question that has se- rlously agitated the Scotch' players appearing in “Bunty” at the Comedy theater, New York, since they re- celved a letter from a distinguished resideat Scotchman. In the letter he objected to the use of the word “po- liceman” in “Bunty,” and suggested that “bailiff” or “sheriff” be used in- stead. “Policemen,” - he insisted, would never be heard in Scotland. Scotch policemen, in certain com- munities, do not work on the Sabbath. There is no such thing as a Sunday " | policeman in Scotland, but upon any extraordinary occasion, the Scotch players contend, any self-respecting policeman, if called upon, would do his duty. . Will Jaxone, who plays the part of the policeman, insists that, although he has had no personal experience With Scotch policemen, he has had & social acquaintance with many of them, and that the word “policeman” is the only description of these men he has ever heard. Also Graham Moffat, the author, has also used the word “policeman” in the actors’ lines. “When we were boys we all had a good deal to do with a policeman,” says George Ingleton, the stage man- ager. However, the point mdde by the writer of the letter is not settled, be- cause a Scotch policeman is not a po- liceman on Sunday. THE MAN IN A PINK SHIRT Plays Stiff Game of Poker, Hunts a Good Deal and Is Familiar Figure at Ball Game. The telegraphic story of the events which threw the fat into the fire in Mexico and started the war over again, mentions & man in a pink shirt as the one who led the attack on Juarez. Having touched the spark to the powder magazine just as the belligerents were shaking hands for peace and reformation, the man in the pink shirt passes out of the tele- graphic narrative and out of the his- tory of Mexico. _ Unless this man In the pink shirt fs an exception, those who live in a country town know him well. The pink shirt itself was bought at a racket store for 69 cents. The man plays a stiff poker game, hunts a good deal without reference to the game laws, and is a familiar figure at ball games, country fairs and foot races {where betting is tolerated. Wagering money on the outcome of 8 ball game is too slow for him. He bets on whether the next threw of the pitcher will be a ball or a strike; whether the batter misses or breaks his bat; whether the catcher running for a foul gets or is cut on the barbed wire fence. P It is disturbing to know that a man in a pink shirt cquld overrule the gen- eral of an army and scatter death and destruction as at Juarez; doubly dis- turbing to belleve that he could change the destinies of a nation. Her Luncheon Bag. While calling on a business’ friend about the lunch hour yesterday I was greatly surprised to see his fair sten- ographer eating and drinking from what had the appearance of being an ordinary hand bag. Invited to inspect the article in question, however, I was amazed at the clever manner in which the, “buffet” bag was arranged. It con- tained specially made places for sand- wiches and ple, besides.a flask-like ar- rangement with a screw top for the coffee. To cap the climax, salt and pepper shakers were set in the sides “It's a little idea of my own,” ex- plained the young woman. “I had the bag, that looks fust like ad ordinary hand bag when you carry 1t on the ‘street, made from my own drawings.” —Boston Post, The Man That Does Things. “It is not the eritic who counts— not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the- doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again be cause there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actu: ally strive to do the = deeds; wha knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions; who ‘spends himself in a worth cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” —Roosevelt. Milk for Flesh Reduction. ‘The simplest article containing com- plete nourishment is milk. That is Dr. Mitchell’s cure for obesity, but he puts his patients to.bed while he gives it to them. An amount of milk sufficlent for the nourlshment of a healthy, ac- tive person presents digestive difficul- tles for many. It is not the simple liquid diet 1t seems, but presents a solid mass of curds in the stomach. Lime water makes it more digestible. In the form of buttermilk, it is easier to digest and makes a very effective reduction diet.

There is hardly a profession, trade or industry nowadays that does mot have a periodical or organ of its own. And few, indeed, are the publications of this kind that do not devote a week- Iy or monthly page to the “lighter side” of the branches of human actiy- ity to which they are devoted. This technical humor has a twofold interest for the layman, that of the jokes and anecdotes he can appreclate on the one hand and that of those which are incomprehensible to him on the other. He finds no'difficulty, for instance, in the familiar anecdote of the bank president’s daughter who, on being informed that her acoount was over- drawn, severely told the paying teller “not to let it happen again or. she would have to speak to papa about it;” but he would very likely be unable to see the humor of a banking story ‘whase point lay in some detall of the routine of the clearing house. And yet the latter might be by far the better of the two. The fun of the story of the new boy in the machine shop who 18 told to fetch a bucket of steam from the engine room is obvious, enough, but that of an anecdote turning on &cme technical point of machine con- struction will appeal only to the ini- tiate. Medicine has its strictly pro- fessional anecdotes of sickroom, con- sulting room and operating room, many of which would be grisly to the layman if he could grasp their meaning; but it has also, for his amusement, {ts tales of the amazing misinterpretations of medical direc- tions. by the unsophisticated patients, chiefly of Irish and German nativity. The church.and the law, the arts and the aciences all have this double form of humor, - No doubt even the under taker’s shop has its fund of anecdote, One willingly takes it for granted. The body of humor keeps close step ‘with. progress and development in all the professions, trades and industries. The humorous columns of their or- gans are there to prove it. No doubt aviation has already developed a fund of technical anecdotes of its own. IT WAS ON THE WATCHMAN Thought Belated Husband Needed & Drink After Test Handed Out By Wife. The new night watchman tiptoed cautiously over the grass, and diving forward, caught the little man by the coat tail and jerked him down to & seat on the lawn. “Come along, me foine feller,” he saild. “It's up the river for yours. No housebreakin’ goes on my beat.” '*“Oh, let me alone!” exclaimed the little man peevishly. “I'm not house- breaking. This s my own house, and I'm trying to get in. Mind your own business.” “Likely story,” grunted the watch. man; “enterin’ yer own house be the windy at one o'clock in th’ mornin’, Tel that to the Judge.” “I tell you it is my house. My wife locked me out, and I was trying to get in this way when you interfered. The front door is bolted. There’s the key, if you want to try. Or you go and ring the front door bell and see what happens.” The watchman, still keeping tight hold of his prey, walked slowly and Quietly up to the front door, then sud- denly gave the bell a vicious ring, A second floor window opened with a snap. ; “William,” said & voice so chilly thai the watchman shivered down his back: bone, “can you say ‘six thousand sy hundred and sixty-six separate satel lites scintillating sparks slowly and With respect to sibilance? ” The watchman, stlll grasping the shuddering Willlam, made his - way noiselessly to the gate, then whispered to the little man: b “Say, come.down to the corner and ‘| get & drink to warm you up after I guess 1t’s on me!” Don't Forget to Exercise.

A long list would be required to indi- cate all the medicaments which have been employed against it. Some even consider that this affection is an ail- ment which has a definite cycle. They are of the opinion that no medi- catlon should be adopted which might act on it and disturb its development, the proper course to take being one of “expectation,” or better, a thera- peautique armee more particularly de- signed to combat complication. Dr. Serbert, in the Muenchner Medi- zinische Wochenschrift, describes the remarkable results which he obtained in the treatment of serious cases of pneumonia by means of strong doses of camphor. He first had occasion to use it in 1906 in a case of double pneumonia, where the patient was also suffering from typhoid fever. He therefore practiced a subcutaneous injection of 12 centimeters of cam- phorated ofl (20 per cent.) recently sterilized. The results obtained on the pulse and respiration and gen- eral condition were extremely satis- factory. - He renewed this dose every 12 hours, and he found after three days the trouble had disappeared. Dr. Serbert has since employed the same treatment in 21 cases, one of ‘which was extremely serious, since it was a question of double complicated pneumonia in ‘a woman seventy-two years old.” All these cases recovered. It seem certain that the camphor pro- duced ‘these effects, since there was no real crisis, the cure being gradual and slowly effected. — Philadelphia North American. = WEALTH OF THE NATIONS United States Does Not Make Tre- mendously Good Showing in World’s Financial Column. For all its vaunted wealth the Unit- ed States, in so far as per capita ratio goes, does not make such a tremen- dously good showing in the world’s financial column. The wealth in the United States in 1910 was estimated, at $125,000,000,000, by far the greatest amount credited in bulk to any one country. Yet the per capita wealth was only $1,359. Great Britain in 1909 was worth $88,725,000,000, each person, according to the census, thus getting $1972. France, with $83,000,000,000 in 19100 had a per capita wealth of $2,070; Germany had $63,500,000,000, with a per capita of $1,000. Russia’s total wealth was $60,000,000,000, but its enormous population dragged the per capita down to $400, while Swit- zerland, with a total wealth of only $3,030,000,000, has a per capita rating of $866. The per capita division in Sweden amounts to $402 out of a total of $2,197,000,000. Switzerland, in the last few years, made a 20 per cent, gain in national wealth. “The average per capita,wealth in the 25 cantons ranges from $1,885 in Geneva to $279 in Tessin.’ Switzerland thus stands very high. The population in 1821 was 1,885,229, so that in 90 years' time it has not doubled. France, it will be noted, stands at the head of the nations with a ver capita wealth of $2,070. That the United States, ‘with its enormous tctal, does not rank higher is because ¢f the rapidly in- creasing population. France, on the contrary, has reported a diminishing or at the most a very slowly increas- ing population, so that the money ad- vance has become greater than the birth rate. The Crewless Ship.
