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

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.

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

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

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

IDOLS IN NEW YORK FROM CHINA,
AFRICA AND INDIA.
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.

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

JTHE STEPPING STONE TO THE
SINGER'S FUTURE CAREER.
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

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

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"

"It's a curious thing," said Mr. Hughes, tbe
first lieutenant in Mr. Manning's well known
yacht agency, to a reporter, "that if a man's
mania takes the form of his imagining him
self a wealthy person he is pretty sure to.

tonished if I were to tell you of all my ex
periences since I have been here, and some
times so sane have they appeared that I have
not been able to detect the slightest aberra
tion of mind.
"Last summer a gentleman called and
wanted to know what large schooners we had
for sale. I showed him tho list and be se
lected the Resolute. 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"

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

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.

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

whose aid be might have fared much worse!
It was John McCuUougb, tbe tragedian, and
