Uu m 1 M i ; il I llj -4 l , P k ii- .N A BAM ACCOUNT. USEFUL HINTS TO PEOPLE WHO KEEP MONEY ON DEPOSIT. How to Guard Against Fraud or Mistake la Business Transactions Check Book ad Stabs Writing Up the Bank Book. Checks as Receipts. The custom of tlio banks, when it is decided to open an account with a customer, is to re quiro the customer to writo his name in a book, kept for that purpose, at the time the account is opened. The obvious reason is to guard against fraud or mistake in all subse quent transactions in -which the bank has to determine the genuineness of the customer's pignatare. If the genuineness of a check pre sented for payment to the paying teller is sus pected, the signature maybe compared at once -with that recorded with the bank, as has been stated, and thus its validity be deter mined. In opening an account with a bank the cus tomer is furnished by the bank with abodk in which is entered on the left hand, or credit, page the amount deposited by him. All sub sequent deposits are entered in the bock, with the date, respectively, of each deposit At the time of opening an account the bank will, generally, furnish the customer with a check book containing twenty-five or more checks, and for this no charge is made. Persons wish ing to have nicely engraved checks can get them, but a charge is usual in such cases, though the amount will not exceed seventy five cents for a book of a like number of chocks. At the same time the bank will also furnish to tbe customer a sufficient number of tickets," which are small pieces of paper containing at the head a blank for tbe per son's name to be inserted, also a blank for the date, and below the words "checks" and "cash." Whenever a deposit is made the de positor fills up a ticket, giving bis name and the date, and writing in the column against tbe words "check" and "cash" the amount of each, respectively, deposited. These tickets booJd always accompany the bank book when a deposit is made. They ? file by the bank, and serve as vouchers for both the bank and the depositor, from which the accuracy of the account may be deter mined, if the question should arise at any time ca to tbe amount, the time and the na tare of any deposit A moment's examination of the check book will atrve to show tbe depositor tbe method of drawing a check. It will be observed, first, that every check is numbered in its order, generally upon tbe upper left band corner. Again, the place to tear off a check k indicated by the perforated line. When torn off at this line the part remaining in tbe book is called the "stub." A check is merely an order on a bank to pay tbe person named in tbe check a certain sum of money. It will be obvious to any one who is about to draw his check that it should be dated, and the name of the payee, or per son in whose favor it is drawn, should be in serted in the body of the check; that the amount to be paid should be written in, and also indicated by figures after the dollar aign, and that the check should be signed by the drawer at the place indicated. A check should always be drawn with great care and ac curacy. The stubs, to which reference has been made, are an important part of a check book, as they contain a complete record, if properly kept, of all transactions with the bank. They are transcripts of all checks drawn from time to time, and show the numbers, amounts, the dates and the names of the payees,rcspectively. In drawing checks filling up the stubs should never be omitted. It is not only important for the reasons stated, but is vastly important in determining the state of the account By adding together the several amounts found in the stubs it is obvious that the amount drawn from the bank may be readily determined. This amount deducted from the amount de posited, which will appear in the bank book, will show the amount standing to the credit of the depositor. A gentleman, for the sake of convenience, once took out of his check book a number of blank checks, which he carried in his jweket, in order that he might use them at any time. He used them all, but neglected to keep an account of them, as he would have done hod ho had the stubs before him, when, to his dismay, he was one day notified by the bank that bis account was overdrawn. Small checks, like small and frequent accounts at a store, make terrible Inroads upon one's bank account, and it is well to watch than closely. A bank book should be regularly and fre quently "written up," particularly when checks have been frequently drawn. This is done at the bank by a bookkeeper, who enters in the bank book the amount shown by the customer's account to have been paid from time to time. These amounts are compared with the checks drawn to insure accuracy. When thus transcribed into the customer's book, the amount is found and subtracted from the amount deposited, and the balance carried to a new account Tbe checks are returned to tbe customer with his book when it is written up, and aro the customer's vouchers. He may compare them with the stubs in hi check book and determine whether they correspond in amount and are correct It is well to keep these checks. In many cases they serve as receipts for bills paid. They are receipts. A check is given, for instance, to the dressmaker for her bill; it is payable to her order. Before she can get the money upon it she must indorse it; that is, write her name across the back. When returned by the bank to the drawer with such indorsement it shows that tbe check has been presented by her and paid; and it then becomes a receipt, or what is equivalent to one. Demorest's Monthly. ELECTION IN BRITISH HONDURAS. A Day of Much Rejoicing A Big least, Music and Dancing. Election day is celebrated with much re joicing, just as it used to be before Europeans came to America. The Spanish chroniclers tell us that it was then customary for those going out of office to give a banquet to their successors, and at the present time tbo au thorities of those villages always spread a banquet election day. The entire repast is placed on the table at once, except the tor tillas. Fresh supplies of these are brought steaming hot to the table every few minutes. Only men take part in this feast of the poli ticians and boys wait on them. In the even ing the hall is cleared for dancing; then the women and girls appear. They are dressed with colored embroidery and have bright colored scarfs around their shoulders. Bulk seems to be their idea of elegance, for each has several very full skirts, all stiffly starched. Their gold ornaments, earrings, necklaces and finger rings are very numerous made from ore found in their native soil. Some of the girls are beautiful, though all are short in stature like the men. The musical instrument most used by these people is the marimba, played after the man ner of a dulcimer, but made of wood and pieces of hide. The tones of the marimba are plaintive, sweet and melodious. It can be heard at a long distance in the still night air. The women sit around the room, but the men stand in groups. When the dancing is to commence one of them only advances to the middle of the floor and nods to the woman he desires for a partner. She leaves her seat and goes to face him, standing a tew feet off. They perform a jig, hardly moving their bod ies, though the steps are varied and rapid; occasionally they exchange places, but never clasp hands. Without even looking at her partner, the woman returns to her seat when the fancy takes her, and he, without chang ing his position, invites some one else by a nod, for he is expected to remain on foot till the music ceases. Then another takes his place; so dancing is kept up till midnight, all conducting themselves with the greatest decorum, but merry peals of laughter are heard now and again, and every one seems perfectly happy, chatting gaylyas they wend their way homeward In the soft moonlight Cor. Home Journal. A Queer Bundle of Mall. "We caught the mail in dead earnest tbe other day," said a mail agent on the Northern Pacific road. "One of the small places where we catch a bag is between Bozeman and Bil Uags, M. T. About three weeks ago the man who works the hook on the car saw what be supposed to be a mail bag suspended from the arm of the scaffold at the latter town in ques tion. We were running pretty fast, consider ing tbe hard wheeling, and it took us but a jiffy o rssp the dangling sack. It fell upon tbe fioor of the car like a. log. A glance at the bundle was sufficient to satisfy us that it contained something more solid than letters pr capers. The sack was ripped opsft andoot rolled the dead body ot a man a man wren a red beard and heavy, shaggy eyebrows. The body was frozen stiff, it having hung all night from the arm of tbe scaffold. There were three bullet holes in tbe man's breast, two more through his neck and one in each leg. Finned on the left side of tbe dead man's coat was a pieceof brown paper, which bore these words: " "This Is a horse thief.' u 'Snatch him baldheaded.' "That was the queerest piece of mail matter we ever caught We took the corpse to Bil lings, where wo turned it over to the coroner. I suppose the fellow had been caught stealing horses and shot on the spot They have a cheerful way out in that country of forward ing an objectionable corpse to a neighboring town." Chicago Herald. Kew York Coachmen and Footmen. It is getting to that pass that you can dis tinguish the degree of social standing of a person who keeps a coach by the size of the capes the coachman aud footman wear. These extraordinary articles of parade uniform be gan modestly enough. They were simply big enough to make the wearers look odd. Now they have assumed the dimensions ascribed by the western wit to the Chicago girl's shoes, which ho describes as number ones one hide to each foot The first capes imported into this country were on the shoulders of some of the ballet girls of an English comic opera troupe. Since the fashion invaded the stable the stage has scornfully discarded it ' In an uptown outfitter's you may find a gradatory collection of bearskin capes for coachmen. They are displayed upon wire dummies. Tho family coachman's size leaves just room for him to peep over the furry mound in front of him at his horses' ears. The sizes adapted to second coachmen allows the nose to become visible. The capes for coupe and hansom drivers give a view of the mouth. No capes a small as these are, how ever, tolerated in private families with any pretentions to gentility. I came upon a footman one cold morning recently, standing like a petrification at a coach door. He wore a capo that spread out like a family umbrella. Tho tip of his nose was blue, however, and the moisture of misery was in his eye. A rude, small boy knocked his hat off with a snowball and jeered at him. As bis cape prevented his seeing tbe hat when he stooped, I picked it up for him, and, after he had thanked me, remarked that he looked comfortable in bis furry garniture. "I feel like ajudy, anyhow," he replied. "If I knew the fellow that invented them, Td" A lady came out of the shop and he went on duty like a machine, but with murder in his heart, if his eyes did not lie. Alfred Trumble in New York News. Spoiled His Enjoyment. The other evening, as the audience at the California gradually awoke and began to pass out for a drink between acts, one of the noble army of unemployed actors now en gaged in propping up tbe Kearney street cigar stores said to another with a yawn, "Well, how does this strike you, Nedr "It reminds me of a little incident during a barn storming trip I took with the 'Strickly Busi ness Company,' " said the other. "You see, business got so infernal bad we had to camp out up near Vacaville. One morning we missed Bishop and hunted for him every where. After a while we found him snoring away under a tree surrounded by a flock of geese, who were hissing at him vigorously. We woke up tho alleged comedian. 'Great Scott, boys!' he said, 'why didn't you let me alone. I was just dreaming that I was play ing to a full house for once.' "San Francisco Wasp. A locomotive Gas Lighter. The covered street at Milan, now well known as the Victor Emmanuel gallery, is roofed with glass and completed by a large dome, round the interior of which runs a chain of gas lamps. The lighting of these lamps at a considerable elevation used to present some difficulties, and was always a source of risk, until an arrangement was made for doing the work by electricity. A miniature railway has been constructed close to the gas burners, on which runs a little electric locomotive carrying a wick steeped In spirits of wine. When it is desired to light tiie burners the wick is set on fire and the locomotive started on its career. It flies round the dome, rapidly kindling tho lights, and exciting much interest among the crowds that assemble nightly to witness the perform ance. Boston Transcript Habits of Miser Paine. The portrait of a miser which is being drawn in tho contest over the will of James Henry Paine, of New York, would furnish rich material for a novelist. The habits of the man, who left $400,000 tied in an old handkerchief, are shown by his visits to a res taurant for his meals. He was very fond of mutton stews. Occasionally one would not suffice and he would call for a second; the price for a stew was ten cents. Generally his pockets were stuffed with pieces of dry bread, which would at times fall out on the floor. Ho would order a stew, pile up crusts of hard bread taken from his pockets, throw over them about half a bottle of Worcestershire 6auce and then swallow the whole with a voracity terrible to behold. Chicago Jour nal. Tllden and His Stocks. Mr. Tflden frequently invested in railroad stocks whenever there was a decline in tbe market or a chance to get in on the ground floor in a deal It nettled him, however, to be considered a speculator. He would indig nantly repudiate the characterization, and Bay: "I am an investor, not a speculator. I buy when I consider stocks are a good pur chase; then I decide on the figure I will sell at, just as a grocer marks his selling price, and I sell whenever I can get my price, with out reference to tbe market" Chicago Herald. Manufacture of Paper Bottles. Paper bottles, capable of fully withstand ing the effect of alcoholic fluids, and unbreak able, are manufactured in the United States. Paper is first made from ten parts rag, fifty parts wood and forty parts straw stock. Both sides of the sheet are covered with a mixture of denbrinated blood and powdered lime. Ten thicknesses of this material are placed one on another, and they are then pressed in a hot metal mold until they as sume tho form of half a bottle. The two halves are then united under the influence of heat and pressure into a perfect bottle. Bos ton Budget Too Young to Tell the Time. A young man recently returned home to his faithful and wakeful spouse so near day break that you might call it early in the morning. "My dear, how lite you ore to-night!

Descriptions of Some of the Prominent Cods and Goddesses Horrid Grotesque ness The Chinese Adam Buddhist Vir gin Vishnu's Foar Incarnations. There are about 200 heathen idols in this city, of which the Presbyterian collection has eighty-five. These embrace idols from China, India, Mexico and Africa, and include a sufficient variety to satisfy the most pro nounced heathen. A heathen god doesn't pride himself on his beauty; but relies on his horrid grotesqueness to send a chill down the backbone of his devotees. One of the three Mexican idols is of wood. The sculptor evi dently used a jack knife, and gave the idol great angularity in all directions, especially at tbe knee and elbow joints. Tbe arms meet in front without tbe intervention of hands. The body is very long and tbe face utterly without expression. Another Mexican speci men resembles the old Aztec deities, with heavy masses of stone carvingabout tbe head, a stern expression in the face, and vigorous ugliness strongly predominant in every feat ure. Tbe third of the Mexican gods is of wood and resembles a coal heaver with a pro fusion of black paint on bis face, heavy muscles and a garment of green doth. There is one African idoL Its countenance looks like a distorted negro face, with lips as if cut apart by a huge plow. Tbe nose is of triangular shape, and tbe ridge extends through the forehead to the hair, which is composed of braided cords. Tbe dress is of black and white cotton cloth, and her shoul ders are covered with a cape of red flanneL The arms extend nearly to the feet and are very clumsy. VARIOUS CHINESE GODS. Fiss Sing is the Chinese god of literature. He is worshiped by all literary men. He is represented with one foot on the head of the sacred fish, and is evidently as much down on it as an American editor is on a fish story. He holds aloft in one hand a pen, which looks like a cigarette, and is made of paper. In the other hand is a tablet of papyrus. Unlike literary men, he is very homely. He has large ears, and has apparently just re ceived some news and is hurrying to get it in tbe last edition. His left foot is raised be hind him, as if in the act of running. Lui Kung is the god of thunder. Thunder and lightning are supposed to be under bis control, and he is much feared. His upper lip is construeted on tho principle of a cow catcher. The nose is chopped off squarely at tbe bottom. Each cheek is ornamented with a brazen spot His ears are large and broad, and above them are two large flaps like ele phants' ears and red as beets. He wears a golden robe and looks generally as if be were running against a high wind. His right hand is raised, as if to touch off the thunder. Each foot has three toes, and his knees are covered with mafl. He is seated in a large chair. Prin Kil Wing, the Chinese Adam, was the first man, according to Chinese theory. He sprang out of chaos, and then remodeled tbe heavens and tbe earth. He is worshiped principally by erectors of meat sheds ia China. He is seated squarely on a block, and holds one of the Chinese "diagrams," or amu lets, in his hands, has a short skirt about his loins and a mantle on his shoulders. His forehead is high and streaked with black paint His ears are large, face fair and his hair is raised in heavy lines. Dee-Low-Koon, a baldheaded, benevolent old fellow, with long tufts of horsehair whiskers, is one of the "Seen," an imaginary species of genii, of men who have become iimmortal and in habit the hills. His business is to teach men to find the Elixir of Life (or to make it), or a medicine which confers immortality. TBS BUDDHIST VIRGIN. Koran Len is the Buddhist virgin. She is attired in gold, has a face of the color of red day, and is under a canopy with arms rest ing on a balcony. Two brother gods, with out names, bave deep black faces, with heavy whiskers and mustaches in tufts like bogs in a swamp of inky water. One has bis eyes turned downward; the other's are dis tended as if he had just ended a severe fit of choking. Above the one are strung a couple of black keys, and the other has ornaments of the same kind in white metaL Nearly all the Chinese gods have nicely curled mustaches. When they bave whiskers they are in the tuft form, stiff as porcupine quills. Feen-hau is tbe Queen of Heaven, and is very generally worshiped in China, espe cially by seamen. She is enshrined in every vessel, and has many temples on land. She has a gentle expression. There are several representations of her. In one she is seated in a large chair, completely filling it, and has a fiat piece of wood on her head. In another sbe is represented in gold dothlng, with her hands wrapped in a rich mantle. She has large ears, with drops, hdds a scepter, and looks like a fat China woman. Kum-yam, or the Goddess of Mercy, is worshiped by all classes. She is a huge female in dark red, with large limbs, and is seated with a child resting on one knee. Her face has a mild ex pression and sbe is not particularly homely. An image of Buddha, about to be conse crated when bought, was made in Blam, and cost 62) cents in silver. The Sacred Bull Is In marble, and is kneeling down. It is very heavy. No. 107 of the collection is a "ffrlw. The Hindus think they cannot tell a lie when this is on their neck. Sing Wan San Poosa is a god of richeB and is a solitary character. It is said be has given tbe wealth of China to England, and he is therefore heartily despised. Ram, incarnation of Vishnu, is in marble. He was found in Sutledge river, near Lodlana. having been thrown there because of a broken arm. When an idol has a limb broken be is thrown away. There are four representations of the incarnations of Vishnu. One Is the Boar Avatar, which is looking up, supporting the world on his snout He has a boar's bead but a man's body. Tbe Fish Avatar has the body of a fish with tbe bead of a woman and four hands. He holds a scepter in his left hand and is trampling on a man. Katch Avatar has two scepters and is four handso. New York Mail and Express. ENEMIES OF GOOD FICTION. Shortsightedness of Book Publishers. The "Readers of Maawscrlpt." One great drawback to good work in fic tion is tbe financial inability of capable writers of both sexes to put then' work before the community. It is useless to say that pub lishers are ready to seize everything new and eager to give the public tbe latest thoughts. This may be true of some publishers, but many are as eager to make a hit and reduce fancies or ideas to hard coin as any merchant in the bud. They publish books to make money, and a striking title is often prized more than a good plot Tbe publishers them selves are human and often shortsighted. Every one knows that some of the best works ever given to the world were knocked about from publisher to publisher and finally sold for a song. Why is this! .Back of the publisher are "the readers of manuscript," the man and one woman, sometimes the two men and one woman, who must sit in judgment on the au thor's work. With all due respect for the ju dicious men engaged in publishing books, it is an undoubted fact that these readers do not always possess especial fitness or knowledge of the works in question. It may sound like treason, but it is undoubtedly true that many excellent volumsof fiction are now bidden away, condemned by some "reader" far leas experienced and gifted than the writer, which, if published, would rank high and benefit tbe reading world. Any one who spends much time in an editorial capacity knows that mistakes as to acceptance and re jection constantly occur. It is the merest folly to talk of the "individuality of the writer" and "the reality of experience which is the secret of success" when a book of real experience, far more captivating and filled with moving, thrilling life, is sat down upon, behind the scenes of some publisher's desk, by men and women who "think it will not pay." my talk of the reality of experience! The real enemies of good fiction are the unappre datire, inexperienced "readers," who can no more understand the sympathetic life of the people than a mere mechanical painter can understand tbe good points of thaBembrandt in your library. They are good men, good women, who are paid to sit in judgment on the heart throbs of real workers, real think ers, real doers, and their total mabfltty to write a good work of fiction renders them un fit to dsdde upon the work of those who afrsady bave the public ear and are eager to sdveMooxowneeBfiietsaplaeein this fiction oittw day." Ts h9WmmLm Amsrjcaa fiction are enormous, the lit e of the American people fruitful, but the outcome will not be satisfactory until genius and application, ideas and impersonation are not subjected to the crucial test of incompetent "readers," nor while publishers pay more attention "to mak ing a hit" than tbe merits of a volume. The fault does not rest with tbe makers of fiction, but its producers in the market Boston Globe. SN0WFLAKE3. ! Where do they go.

A Toons; Violinist Accompanying Her Own Voice at a Village Fair Laying the Foundation, of the Great Prima Donna's Fortune. In a little hut among tall pines on the es tate of Count Hamilton, in "Wexio, in Sweden, tbe but, consisting of two rooms, belonging to a poor forester, on Aug. 20, in the year 1843, was bom a little tow beaded girl, the youngest of seven children, who never spoke unless especially questioned, but con tinually sang, trying to imitate the birds or tbe murmuring of the waters in fact, obey ing an inner impulse to imitate the great models of nature, never having heard any thing else. The Sjoabohl (hamlet) of Snugge, to which the part of the forest belonged where sbe bad first seen tbe light of day, was a few miles distant from Wexio, and the highest ambition of the poor children was to be able to get to tbe fair of Wexio and earn a few pence somehow in that great town of Bomo 1,800 inhabitants. In order to reach that glorious result, little Christine, who had taught herself to play on a small fiddle which belonged to her elder brother, and which you can see any day you please in the magnificent mansion she has built for herself in South Kensington, entered into partnership with her brother, who was already her inferior as a violinist, and they started out together for the celebrated Wexio. AT A VILLAGE FAIR. On they went, per pedes apostolorum, until they reached, on their way, Ljung-by (by means village), where there was held a small fair, and where the young violinist accom panied her own voice in tbe few Swedish national songs she then had heard and re tained in ber precocious memory. With great pride she relates that this, her first open air concert, brought her the treasure of threepence half-penny, forewarning ber of the untold wealth which awaited the children at the town fair. Thither, then, they re paired with all the courage that success, glory and money can give, and arrived a little tired, but hopeful, at the fair. There was suddenly a big audience, who wondered if the violin played Christine or Christine the violin. When the admiring crowd assem bled it attracted the attention of Mr. Tor nerhjeim, the provincial judge, who tried to find out, as every one of us would, what was tho matter. Well, fortunately for the great singer, the judge, a man over six feet high, looked over tho shoulders of the people at the littlo girl who formed the center of attrac tion; and then ho saw and heard, over and above the scraping of the little fiddle, what he thought the sweetest and most enchanting timbre of voice he had ever beard before. A highly educated man, and accustomed to read in the physiognomy of the people who were brought before him their character and probable capabilities, he spoke first to tbe boy, then to tbe little girl, and there and then laid the foundation of the great prima donna's fortune by tbe present of untold wealth a sixpence. Christine, already frightened with the responsibility of carrying her Ljung-by funds, suddenly grown rich beyond her ex pectations, with great firmness insisted on their immediate return to the only place where so much money could safely be in vested or deposited tholr father's hut THE TOILET DKJOUH. You can see in one of Christines great salons tbe little skirt, which did not descend to the ankle, tbe toilet dejour of her first con cert, minus the least bit of shoes or stock ings; and the cherished portrait of two bous paysans Suedes father and mother in a rich gold frame, which cost more than a long series of concerts at that time could have brought her. Although not quite so rich as she became hereafter, sbe returned with tbe first money earned with her first success in public to ber father, who saw, real and alive, nine and one half pence, the product of two concerts, in hfc daughter's little hand. 8trange as it may appear, the great success and the great finan cial result remained for a few days without any farther consequences; when, just as a second artistic journey was contemplated, tbe above-mentioned judge, who naturally had had some difficulty In unearthing the where abouts of bis small prima donna, came straight upon her father and asked him would he allow his honor tbe provincial judge to take temporary possession of the youngest child, and if she were found to be so intelligent and gifted as sbe was supposed to be, to give ber the education which would perhaps make the name of little Christine somewhat better known. The father referred him to tho mother, as every well bred father will, and the mother, with that abnegation that makes of motherly love the only reli able, never-to-be-found-wanting love in the world, instantly consented to separate her self from her child a youngest child to boot so long as that sacrifice could do the child any good. This little preliminary arranged, the first important step in Christines life was made. Louis Engel's "From Mozart to Mario." Good Time on the Panhandle Road. The examination of watches of conductors and engineers on tho C, 81 L. and P. is pro gressing slowly. There are some 800 watches to be examined, and about 150 have been ex amined. Fully 60 per cent are condemned. The idea of tbe company is to compel every man in their employ to have a reliable timekeeper.- Some amusing incidents connected with the examination are related. One big, honest looking man, who bad just bean pro moted to an engineer's seat, came in tbe first of tbe week. He had an oil fashioned watch that might bave kept good enough time to run a country school on, but certainly wasn't the kind of a timepiece on the accuracy of which you would want to trust your life. When it was condemned the man took it good naturedly. "If it but reliable," said 'he, "I dent want it I run as much risk as tbe passengers da" That man is now tbe posssssoi of one of ths finest watches on tbe road. Another man, who had just taken charge of an engine, dropped in a couple of days ago. "I want my watch right," be said, "becauM for tbe past two years I have been firing for a man who was so careless about his time piece that I lived in a sort of perpetual fear. He had an old Waterbury and be always car ried it in his pants pocket" Tbe movement of the Panhandle road it something of an experiment If it is success ful it wiU ta an probability he adopted by all the other roads in Pennsylvania.

He said he wanted a vessel in which be could take his family to Euni5. I told him that the Resolute had been across; that she had been built for Mr. Hatch, the banker, in the best manner, and that sho was just the boat for him; that her captain (Dayton) was an experienced navi gator and had been in her on her ocean voy ages. He seemed much interested, and was apparently as sane as you or L The first sus picion I bad was when I named the price and he made no objection, but said at once, Til take her.' You know we seldom get our asking price right off, and this eagerness on bis part surprised me. However, as I mentally cal culated tho 5 per cent commission and what I should do with it, I intimated that" a refer ence or a deposit was customary, and bo re ferred me to a well known house up town and I considered the sale made. On going there tboy referred me to a certain address which I did not know then, but when I went there I found it was an insane asylum, from which, as I found out afterward, my customer had escaped. WAirrXD VAITDBRBILT'a "ALVA." "A few days ago a man came in who said his name was George E. Carbrey. 'I want,' said he, to buy Mr. Vanderbilt's steam yacht Alva.' I told him she was not for sale, and be then said, 'What is the largest steam yacht you haver I told him, for up to that time I had no suspicion of bis sanity. "What is the price!" said ha "Ninety thousand dollars," said L u Til take her,' said he, and for reference he gave me the National Park bank. 'I own that bank,' ho continued; 'I had a quarrel with the cashier one day, and I just bought the bank and bave discharged all tbe men there and put in new ones. I own all tbe banks in New York except tbe Columbia, and I think I'll buy that' "Then be said that he should want four steam launches, and would give me a big commission if I could get them for him. He said that be was going to South America, and was going to take a dozen priests and two nuns, in order to form a convent of the Sacred Heart The commission promised me was 10,000, and be afterward increased it to f 15,000. He wanted a permit to go on board the yacht at once, but I bad tumbled to bis condition and told him we never gave permits for so expensive a vessel, and that Mr. Manning or myself would go with him the next day. He said ho had a coupe at the door and would tako me at once. He said: 'I own the coupe and I own the man that drives it' Then he saw the young lady who Is here as a typewriter, and be said: 'I'll buy you, too. I hav already got twelve stenographers and I want thirteen.' Ho said: 'I am worth $335,000,000, and I have made it all since the 1st of January in flour, and the way I niado it is curious. I was driving out on the road and fell iu with Mr. Vanderbilt, and we had a brush. I beat him, and be was so pleased at having found a man that could beat him on the road that be gave me some points, and I acted on them and have made all this money since. Before that I was working for $10 a week.' "I got rid of him after a while," continued Mr. Hughes, "and I was glad enough, for the young lady and myself were alone and there was no telling what form his mania might take next I have sinco heard that he has been taken to an insane asylum. I could tell you lots of other anecdotes of this sort, but it's a fact that as soon as a man gets good and crazy he is sure to come to us to buy a yacht" New York World. Joe Howard After the Fracas. I had tbe pleasure of seeing Mr. Howard Immediately after bis famous interview with Mr. Pulitzer. He came into the International and walking np to tbe bar asked for some "calisaya and seltzer." There was nothing in his manner or appearance to indicate that he bad been mauled by tbe Maygar. Tbe bar keeper mixed the drink, Howard regarding him sternly. "Young man, how long have you kept barP 'Bout eight years." "Then you ought to know that when "you serve a gentleman you should put tho bottles on tbe bar and let him help himself." The barkeeper, nothing loath, tossed tbe rejected "swash" into his waste basket and placed a bottle of calisaya and a siphon before the syndicate of historians. Joe poured out the calisaya and then put his thumb on the lever. S-i-e-s-h went the siphon. He had pressed too hard. Tbe contents of tbe glass went ell over bis collar and shirt, up his sleeve and into hk eyes. The red stain was indelible. It was all over town mfive min utes mat Joe had had a row and was cavered with tbe blood of all tbe Howards. New York Star. Instruction In Practical Work. CoL Richard T. Auchmuty, who has been writing for magazines on the subject of in dustrial education, Is practical as well as theoretical in the advancement of his ideas upon that subject For many years Col. Auchmuty has brought together in the upper part of New York in night schools and small gatherings young people whom be has in structed in practical every day work. A gen tleman who has visited his schools said to me the other day: "The colonel is a practical philanthropist and has been sowing good seed. I saw him showing one young man how to mix mortar. Another of his pupils he was instructing in shoving a jack plana Still another was being shown how to nse a saw. That seems to be a simple thing, but skilled carpenters will tell you that not one man in fifty knows bow to properly shove a saw back and forth through a pine board. The colonel had also a little class of pupils who were being instructed bow to sharpen edge tools. You can catch the idea of bis work rrom tnese samples, uewasengai in making helpful young men out of help ones." New York xriDuna The future of Cremation. The cremationists held their yearly meeting the other night at the mayoralty of the eighth arondissement In his report on the progress of their work daring the past year the secretary referred in special terms of satisfaction to tbe act which the chamber of deputies on March SO passed by a majority of 371 votes against 174 to render cremation optional in France, according to the will left by a person. The Holy See has prohibited, that is to say, anathematised, this funeral ceremony in Italy, but its decree will prob ably remain a dead letter, as cremating to very popular in that country, where no less than sixty cremating societies exist Fur naces have also been built at Geneva, Zurich, New York, San Francisco, Buffalo, etc. In Germany a petition to the reiebstag for its toleration has obtained 23,000 signatures. In the Mauritius several determined crema tionists have ordered their bodies, in the ab sence of ovens ad hoc, to be burned on com mon pyres, tbe operation lasting four hours. London News. Recollections of a Quarrel. "It is no wonder that CoL CockerUl jumped In between Pulitzer and Joe Howard in The World office tbe other day," said a St Louis newspaper man. "Poor Cockerfll knows what such a scene is to bis sorrow. Since bis kitting of Slayback in Tbe Post-Dispatch office Cockerill has never been tbe same man. There is an air of abstraction and melancholy about him which even the $16,000 a year which Pulitzer is said to pay him on The World cannot dispel By tbe way, did yon ever know who it was that helped CoekerOl oat of that scrape pecuniarily, and without whose aid be might have fared much worse! It was John McCuUougb, tbe tragedian, and Jos McCullagb, of Tbe Globe-Democrat. Both were king ago repaid, but their aid and sympathy and influence were worth more by far than the few thousands they cordially advanced for the defense. Chicago Herald.
