Stunts the New Boys In Some Banks
Have to Face.
Now, when a tyro goes to work in a
machine shop he is sent to the tool
room for a left handed monkey wrench. |
A foundry wag will send the new boy '
in search of “core holes.” A printer's
devil is sent to the typefounders with:
a wheelbarrow for a hair space. Hu-
morists in certain Kansas City banks |
have a revised code, says the Times
of that city.
Here are six things the beginner
probably will be required to seek—at
drug stores, in stationery shops, even
at the county courthouse, where one
trustful youth went the other day to
inquire diligently for a “speed hall” to
assist him in his work:
There is the “speed ball,” then, and
there is the “check stretcher,” pre-
sumably used to increase the size of
checks that do not conform fo the fil-
ing cases: the “discount board,” sup-
posed to be checkered in a manner to
facilitate the handling of discounted
paper; the “clearing house key,” in’
search for which half a day easily may
be consumed, and for the red and
black lines that lie artistically on the |
fair pages what could be more appro- |
priate than “striped ink,” and lest the |
ink becomes too thick should not an’
“ink strainer” be procured?
Ask the new boy.
THE FIRST ASTOR.
A Daring and Resourceful Operator In
the Fur Trade.
John Jacob Astor was born in the lit-
tle village of Waldorf, in Germany, in
1762, just as France at the close of
the Seven Years’ war was ceding
Canada (0 England. He sailed to our !
side of the Atlantic in 1783, when '
George 111. in the treaty of Paris was
acknowledging our Independence and
when the merchants of Montreal were
establishing the Northwest company.
He became a fur dealer, gradually
gained control of the trade south of
Lakes Huron and Superior, except
that which was in the hands of the
Mackinaw company, and won a repu-
tation as a daring and resourceful op-
erator, which made his name known
in Montreal, St. Touis. London and
Canton.
- He had a dozen vessels atloat, repre- |
genting a capital of $1,000,000, carry-
dng furs to Kogziand and China in
, and at the time that the pur-
‘¢hase of Touislana in 180% pushed our
boundary to the Rocky mountains he
was the wealthiest and most success
ful merchant in the United States, —
North American Review.
The Man of Leisure.
Most ef our rich men work very hard
—not always because they want to, but
in many lustances because they have
to. The husbandry of a big estate in
itself wmny be a task for the whole of
the time nud thought. not of one man,
but of several. As a general (hing it
is fair to say that our only man of
leisure is the tramp. The social pariah,
the mutineer against the rule of work,
i8 the only one who can be sure of a
care free, sybaritic existence, and even
he lives in constant danger of rock salt
from the farmer's gun or the onslaught
of the watchdog around the corner as
the hob knocks at the Kitchen door
or pauses at the water trough to drink.
The poor irnmp is certainly a more
frequent social phenomenon than the
rich one.—Philadeiphia Ledger.
The Earl and the Angler.
One of the earls of Minto had a
kindly nature. One day a Hawick an-
gler was throwing his line on the river
near Minto when a tall gentleman
came up to him and inquired what
kind of sport he was having. The
fisher replied that it was not very
good and that he could do better if
he were at the other side of the water, |
adding. “I'll gi'e ye sixpence if ye'll |
carry me across.” The bargain was |
struck, and the gentieman, getting the !
angler on his back, carried him through |
the water to the other side. True to |
his promise, the angler produced the |
sixpence, which he proffered to the
stranger, who, however, smiled and
remarked, “Give it to the first beggar
you meet and tell him it is a present
from the Earl of Minto.”
Why She Worried.
“But, mother, why do you object 0
my being pleasant to the young men?
You can't hope to keep me with you
always, you know. One of them will
take me away from you some day.”
| “Take you away from me? Well, if
that happens I shall not complain. It
1s the certainty that none of the young
men who have been coming here so
far would take you away that has
worried both your father and me."—

tts Influence Upon the Sun's Heat In
the Atmosphere.
When the air is very thick and hazy
it may contain floating dust particles
to the number of from 10,000 to 20,007
in every cubic centimeter, while a cu-
bic centimeter of very clear air may
contain only from a dozen to a few
bundred particles.
An English observer's data indicate
that there is a relation between the
quantity of dust and the temperature
of the air. A great amount of dust, it is
thought. increases the temperature in
the daytime and checks the fall of tem-
perature at night.
The reason is that the presence of
dust serves as an obstruation to the
free radiation of heat through the air

it, und at night the heat received by
the ground during the day readily es-
capes through the same air, but if the
atmosphere is heavily laden with dust
the sun's rays are partly arrested by
the particles which, becoming heated.

ner heat radiated from the earth at

belief that a drowning person must
come to the surface of the water three
times before he can possibly drown.
“Well,” said Captain Tom Morgan,
“there is little ground for that suppo- |
sition. The truth is, a drowning per-
son may sink the first time. never to
rise again, or he may. as in the ma.
jority of cases. rise three times before
he sinks forever.
“It all depends on the quantity of
water that he swallows when he sinks
and the size of his lungs. The human
body in life naturally floats while the
lungs are inflated. So long as one
keeps his head above the water he can
float with very little effort.
“But as soon as the person sinks he
gulps down a lot of water. If after
he has swallowed this water he has
any alr left in his lungs he will un.
doubtedly rise agnin and will continue
to sink and rise until all the air has
heen worked out of his lungs.
“In most cases the frightened victim
swallows enough water when he sinks
the first time to leave him exhausted.
but as there Is still air left in the lungs
he soon finds himself on the surface
again. Each time he sinks, however.
the supply of alr in his lungs grows
less until ultimately there is nothing
left to support him, when he. will
drown.” —New York Herald
The Second Man.
A teacher sald to her class, “Who
was the first man?"
“George Washington,” a little boy
shouted promptly.
“How do you make out that George
Washington was the first man?’ said
the teacher, smiling indulgently.
“Because,” said the little boy, “he
, was first in war, first in peace and first
in the hearts of his countrymen.”
But at this point a larger boy held
up his hand. “Well,” said the teacher
to him, “who do you think was the
first man?"
“I don’t know what his name was,”
said the larger boy, “but 1 know it
wasn't George Washington, ma'am, be-
cause the history book says George
; Washington married a widow, so of
ceurse there must have been a man
| ahead of him.”—New York Press.

#& Russian’s First Encounter With
English In London.
A Russian tells a funny story of his
first encounter with the English lan-
guage.
The day after his arrival in London
he made a call on a friend in Park
lane and on leaving inscribed in his
notebook what he supposed to be the:
correct address.
The next day, desiring to go to the
same place again, he called a cabman |
and pointed to the address tht he had |
written down. The cabman looked him |
over, cracked his whip and drove away |
without him.
This experience beiug repeated with
two or three other cabmen, the Rus-'
sian turned indignantly to the police,
with no better results. One officer |
‘would laugh, another would tap his
head and make a motion imitating the
revolution of a wheel, and so on.
Finally the poor foreigner gave it
up and with a great deal of difficulty.
recalling the landmarks which he had
observed the day before, found his way
to his friend's house. Arrived there
and in company with one who could |
understand him, he delivered himself |
of a severe condemnation of the cab- -
men and the police of London for their
impertinence and discourtesy.
His friend asked for a look at the |
mirth provoking address and the mys-
tery was solved. This was the entry:

The Worth While Person.
Certain qualities go to the making |
of any human being whom other hu-
ents are as necessary to a man as
flour and yeast to bread or iron and
carbon to steel. You cannot make
them any other way. There is a com-
bination of steadiness of purpose,
breadth of mind, kindliness, wholesome
common sense, justice, perhaps a flash
of humor, certainly a capacity for the
task In hand that produces a worth
while person. The combination occurs many who give you y ry

them.— Atlantic,
