"In Mayor Gaynor's early days on
the bench," said a Brooklyn lawyer,
"a prisoner's counsel said In the course
of bis speech:
" 'Medical witnesses will testify that
my unfortunate client is suffering from
kleptomania, and, your honor, you
know what that is.'
" 'Yes,' said Judge Gaynor. 'I do It

the capital guides.
There are twelve authorized guides
in the capltol building, nil of them
gentlemen of experience, culture mid
maturity. They are known to bo relia
ble men of good character and reputa
tion before they are given budges au
thorizing them to act as guides within
the great legislative building. Hut
they receive no salaries. They are
wholly dependent upon tho seinlehnr-
ity of tho tourists.
Guides of the Capitol.
There are "scout guides" on tho Hit.
They are stationed oue each at the
main cutrnnce of the senate end and
at tho house end of tho capltol. When
Ightseelng visitors enter the door at
either end of the building a well dress
ed gentleman, wearing conspicuously
n sliver badge certifying that he Is a
capltol guide, approaches nnd offers
his services. Frequently the tender Is
rejected with rudeness, but tho guides
soon become accustomed to that and
continue to wear their professional
smiles while they turn to welcome the
next visitors and proffer their serv
ices. When the scout guide receives a
hearing he briefly explains the busi
ness of a guide nnd escorts the stran
gers to the floor of tho great rotunda
and Introduces them to the chief guide
of the building.
System of Remuneration.
"We are not allowed to mako any
specific charge for our services," the
chief guide states. "We are simply
authorized to act as guides, and wo
accept whatever tender Is made after
the services are rendered, and usually
wo receive 50 cents for each person.
That, however. Is wholly optional with
the visitors."
After each party has been shown
through the capltol the guide reports
to the chief and hands over to him tho
amount received for services rendered.
Each evening tho chief guide foots up
the amounts nnd bands out to each
guide his equal share of the total re
ceipts minus a percentage for tho
chief guide. Thus all accounts are kept
square dally.
Center of the District.
Under the shadow of the Washing
ton monument as the sun rises is a
small stone nearly burled In the earth.
which Is likely to be overlooked and
whose very existence Is probably un
known to nearly all visitors and resi
dent Washlngtonlans. Yet this unob
trusive little memorial marks the pre
cise center of the original District of
Columbia, and the Intersection of
two cross lines notched on the upper
surface determines with the utmost
possible exactness the very point In 1
question. Just enough earth has been
removed from the face of the stone,
which stands near the bottom of the
monument hill, to allow the following
inscription to be written:
Jefferson Pier.
Erected 1S04. Ilecovered 1SSS.
District of Columbia.
Lost and Found.
What Is now visible of this monu
ment Is of granite. An examination or
the archives of the city discloses the
fact that the original Jefferson pier,
or stone, stood on what was the bank
of the old Tiber creek. It had a blue
rock foundation, which was six feet
high on the creek side, aud was cov
ered by a large sandstoue cap. about
live feet square and eight Inches thick.
This capstone and part of the founda
tion were removed In 1872 by order of
public buildings nnd grounds, through
a mistake as to Its Identity. It Is said,
and what remained was covered up by
earth several feet deep when the road
way and grounds were made. As re
lated by tho Inscription, the monu
ment was recovered In 18S9, when tho
present graulto cap was probably
erected.
"Sealing" Uncle Sam's Money.
Director Ilalph of the bureau of pij-
gravlug and printing has a brand new
responsibility on his shoulders, but lr
doesn't seem to bother hlra. The di
rector Is now Intrusted with tho plac
ing of the government seal ou all tho
sliver aud gold certificates and treas
ury notes which are printed In his bu
reau. It Is the government seal which
makes tho notes good. Without It they
aro worthless sheets of paper.
Up to a few weeks ago the bureau
of engraving and prlutlng did all tbo
work on tho gold and silver certificates
and treasury notes except tho affixing
of tbo seal. That was dono on special
machines which were installed In the
treasury department. This policy had
been in forco since 18S1, beforo which
time tho bureau turned out the tin
isbed product.
Recently Mr. Ralph began expert"
raentlng with various designs for n
machine which would simplify tho
work of cutting, numbering, sealing
and counting the printed notes, nnd he
finally perfected one of tho most in
genious machines used in printing.
Machine Saves Labor.
The machine was approved by the
secretary of tho treasury, and fifteen
wero ordered to bo made. ' Thcso ma
chines aro now being installed, aud
their installation will eventually dis
place 150 employees, who will bo tak
en caro of elsewhere.
Tho new machlno combines tho work
formerly done by two machines and
several operatives. Tho notes aro fed
into it in sheets of four. Tho machlno
first prints the serial number on each
note, then prints the seal, then cuts
tho sheet into four pieces and finally
drops tho finished notes out In llttli
bundles of flftv.
Points
For
Mothers
Thero arc some problems In raising
n only child. How to restrain from
selfishness is one of these. Another
ts how to create tho Independence
which is usually the portion of mem
bers of a largo family.
Hero is tho story of one woman who
seems to bo bringing her one little girl
up in exactly tho right way.
"No, Mary," she said recently, "you
cannot go to visit Jnno today nt nil.
You wero there yesterday. I do not
wish you to feel that you must always
either go'somewhero or have some ono
at the' house. I want you to be Inde
pendent ht others. Learn to draw upon
yourself for amusement."
Mary seemed quite satisfied and pro
ceeded to entertain herself.
"I never have nllowed tho child to
acquire tho habit of feeling that she
must always have somo one with her,"
said her mother. "If I see a tendency
In that direction I have her remain at
homo alone for a day or two until her
equilibrium is again established. I
think there would be fewer gadding,
gossiping women If mothers took pains
to adopt this plan with their children."
This seemed rather a senslblo view,
nnd I led her on to still further ex
press herself. "Why," she said, "I
know women who feel that they can
not stand it to be alono for even an
hour. They seem really miserable if
left to their own resources. They seem
to have no resources within them
selves, but are always expecting some
one to entertain them or amuse them.
I think It leads to all sorts of evils,"
3ho added emphatically.
"Now, had they been taught In
thlldhood to find something to do with
every hour and to really look forward
to the opportunity of solitude for the
accomplishment of many things, such
as study, reading or work, all this
restlessness would havo been nvolded
The habit of self reliance is the best
kind of help in all sorts, of emergen
cies. I mean that my girl shall first of
all be self reliant"
Good Use For Picture Postals.
Mrs. Frank O. Lowden, wife of a
member of congress from Illinois, who
before her marriage was Florence Pull
man of the parlor car family, has dis
covered n way to turn to admirable
uso tho picture postcard' idea. Her
five little daughters receive scores of
cards from friends and relatives trav
eling abroad, and now, Instead of toss
ng them away or lumbering up thek
aursery with them, they place them
n orderly fashion In a scrap book. By
ach card is. written a history of the
;ity or country from which it came,
and each child must study this out for
herself. She must arrange her cards
by countries. Mrs. Lowden thinks this
provides valuable mental training for
her children nnd impresses geograph
ical facts In their minds. When tho
books havo served their purpose in
the nursery nnd the children have be
come so familiar with all the books
contain that they are no longer Inter
ested the volumes are sent to hospitals
or to homes ror crippilea children,
where they are most welcome. This
pretty and charitable custom is grad
ually taking root among the wealthy
children of tho capital.
In the Nursery.
If the nursery window is not pro
tected by outside bars, hammer a largo
screw or unil into tho groove of tho
lower sash so that the window cannot
be raised more than six Inches.
If the top sash is drawn down, this
'.a quite enough for ventilation, and, no
matter how ingenious or venturesome
the llttlo ones may be, they cannot
wrlgglo through the small lower open
ing. Provide each llttlo one In tho nursery
with Its own towel, sponge, hairbrush
and toothbrush aud teach the children
that It is not right to use each other's
things.
Hairbrushes should be kept perfect
ly clean nnd frequently washed In
soda water.
Sponges, too, should be treated U
tho same way, and when they are
greasy and slimy they should bo clean
ed by placing them In boiling water
In which soda two ounces to each
quart of water has boon dissolved and
left for twenty-four hours to soak.
Afterward rlnso in vinegar and water.
Tho Children's Guide.
A novel way of earning a living has
been discovered by an old man who
lives in London. Just closo to his

HUMOR OFTHE DAY
Setting Up a Principle.
The rich man Was worried. He fear
ed the old master he had Just pur
chased was not genuine. He dreaded
the possibility that the public would
look upon him ns nn easy mark for art
fakers. So he sent for the eminent ex
pert. The expert came nnd looked at the
picture and shook his head. Then he
moiled of It nnd frowned ominously.
"Will you havo to tasto it, too?" the
magnate anxiously inquired.
The expert waved him aside.
Then ho tested tho painting with
acids and with cold and heat. He
scraped It down with a palette knife
and soaked It In boiling oil. He drew
out the fiber and cut holes In the can
vas and sawed it longitudinally.
Presently he turned to tho magnnte.
"The picture Is genuine," ho said.
Tho magnate stared from the wreck
ed painting to the eminent expert.
"But, great Murlllo," ho cried, "tho
thing Is absolutely ruined!"
Tho eminent expert frowned.
"What Is tho loss of a painting to the
establishment of the eternal principles
of truth?" he haughtily replied.

"No; he's down nnd out."

NOT GROWING COLDER.
Earth's Climate Has Not Changed
Within Historic Times.
During tho la3t fow years tho sup
position that the earth Is growing cold
er has received n setback from the
consideration of tho consequences
which result from tho discovery of
radium In the earth's rocks. If radi
um exists throughout the Interior of
the globe In tho samo quantities In
which It appears In the sur.'nce rocks,
then Buch Is the volume of heat which
It would render up that the earth
ought to bo growing hotter Instead of
colder.
If, furthermore, tho earth wero
slightly Increasing In temperature, the
amount of rainfall precipitated from
the atmosphere would become greater
rather than less, and as, at tho samo
time, tho amount of water, shut up In
the carth'a rocks would also be forced
out In greater quantities by Increas
ing heat, It would not be possible to
suppose that tho earth's surface was
becoming dryer.
Therefore tho supposition that tho
earth has exhibited within historic
tlmo any general drying up or any
tendency to revert with more and
moro suspicion, nnd the hypotheses
havo been substituted that either tho
apparent variations of climate are
local, or else that they aro tho results
of somo seesaw of conditions, tho
causes of which remain to be discov
ered.
In Bhort, whatever test be applied,
It becomes extremely hard to show
that tho climate of any portion of the
civilized world has appreciably chang
ed within historic time. London Post

has been giving the last ten years.
Tho card was sent to the address of
Verlalne's publisher, who has lately

seems, is that Mme. de Rouan intrust

Next Thing.
The shades of night were falling.
Swiftly nnd gracefully an aeroplane
descended, landing as lightly as a
feather on the smooth roadway of the
boulevard.
Forth stepped an elegantly attired
man, wearing a mask.
Snatching a purse from a richly
appareled dame who was passing, he
stepped back Into the aeroplane and
was soaring aloft and disappearing lc

astonished victim to let loose a

The Era of New Mixed Paints !
This year openj with n deluge of new mixed paints. A con
dition brought about by our enterprising dealers to get some kind
of a mixed paint that would supplant CHILTON'S MIXED

There are reasons for the pro-minonco of CHILTON PAINTS

3d Chilton stands back of it, and will agreo to repaint, at his

A Very Big Clock.
Tho villago clock, which bccati3o

and buildings, most of thorn dwarfed
by surrounding skyscrapers of mon
strous size, and practically none o,
them causing n thrill. Tho city of New
