WAYS'OF CARRYING MONEY j 1 Englishman and American Usually ! Scorns Pocketbook, Which Is Used in Franco and Germany. "It is interesting to note," says an observant New Yorker, "the various methods in which men of different nationalities carry their worldly wealth. "The Englishman carries gold, silver and copper all lcos:e in his trous- G ers pocket, pulls out a handful of the mixture in an opulent way and selects the coin he needs. "The American carries his 'wad' or 'roll' in pretty much the same way. the average man here looking with contempt upon the pocketbook as indicative of a 'tight' disposition. ^ "The Frenchman makes use of a v leather purse wiih no distinguishing 5 characteristics. The German uses one gayly embroidered in silks by the i fair hands of some Lottchen. "The half-civilized capitalist from some torrid South American city carries his dollars in a belt with cunningly devised pockets to baffle the gentle- . men wiih light fingers. Seme of these belts are quite expensive. "The Italian of the poorer classes . ties up his little fortune in a gayly- . colored handkerchief secured with many knots, which he secretes in some . mysterious manner about his clothes. "A similar course has charms for the Spaniard, while the lower class Russian exhibits a preference for his boots or the lining of his clothes as a hiding place for his savings."

Hebberd, New YorKs i s charity expert, said at a recent din- t v ?er: t "The great danger of charity is ita ! t pauperizing effect. This effect must i; be avoided, or the recipients will all n become Jack Hanches. "Jack Hanch, on the score of bad health, never worked, and the pastor of the Methodist church, a man whose heart sometimes outran his head, sent the idler and his family weekly gifts of food and clothing?supported the whole crew, in fact I "A church visitor, after listening to Jack's complaints one day, said: " 'Yes, of course, you have had bad health, we know that; but one thing at least you ought to be thankful for, and that is our pastor's kindness in sending you all this bread and meat and jelly and blankets, and so on. Don't you think it is good of him to look after you so well?' " 'Cjood of him?' said Jack, lmpsr tieiitl.v. "Why, what's he for?'" Wrong Guess. It was exhibition day at No. 3, and as the parents of Jack Grady, the dullest pupil, were listening hopefully, the teacher tried her best to help the boy. "How did Charles I. of Eugland . die?" she asked, assigning the easiest question on her list to Jack. As he looked at her, with no indication of a ; coming answer, the teacher put her hand up to h?r neck. Jack saw the movement and understood its meaning, as he thought.

A physician, of Portland, Oregon, c has views about food. He says: r "I have always believed that the c duty of the physician does not cease n with treating tho sick, but that we * owe it to humanity to teach them how c to protect their health, especially by * hygienic and dietetic laws. "With such a feeling as to my duty ^ I take great pleasure in saying to the r public t'aat in my own experience and * also from personal observation I have ^ found no food equal to Grape-Nuts, * and that I find there is almost no limit ? to the great benefits this food will 1 bring when used in all cases of sick- c ness and convalescence. ,-It is my experience that no physi- 1 cal condition forbids tho use of Grape- s Nuts.

Phosphorus may be applied in libral amounts?as much a3 l.COO pounds 3 the acre every three or four years? nd it costs about $7 a ton. After the problem of returning the lements to the soil has been solved le farmer may find another condition f the soil which , must be corrected efore his farm will produce as it hould. This is the tendency of cerlin soils to acidity. Clover, alfalfa nd other valuable legumes- cannot irive upon soil that is sour. Somemes on acid soils when applications f farm manure are made, the legumes rill seem to grow well, but examlnaIon reveals the fact that the nitrogen atherlng bacteria fail to develop roperly. Hence the most valuable ontribution the legumes have to make 3 the soil is largely lost. Upon cerlin fields belonging to one of the lost famous agricultural stations in tie world, that of Rothamstead, Engind, applications of natural limestone rere made a century ago. They are 1 *? ?- o 1 rVi nn cr'i till moderately pr'juutufc, ther fields near by, which have never eceived the application, aro e::tremer unproductive. Care should be taken that limetone is used for the one and only purose of correcting soil acidity.
