Sumptaarr Trjrln on Thoe With 811m Ihinn, Bank clerks generally look so sleek and comfortable and are almost In variably so well groomed that their grievances rarely receive pntlont hear ing. One who was recently dismissed for the terrrlble crime of smoking a pipe In a city cafe timing one of the hours sacred to what Is called by city courte sy lunch writes, giving a list of re strictions which he declares are ab surd. No clerk Is allowed to smoke a pipe In the streets during banking hours or at lunch. The average clerk's salary Is not so very high, but nevertheless he must wear a silk hat and cano to the oitlce, dressed as one with double the salary. Wearing a cap to business Is not to be thought of, as It Is an unpardonable offense In the eyes of the bank officials. The salary of the average bank clerk ranges from about 38 shillings a week, but In muuy banks the salnry Is much lower and the chances of promotion very small. A clerk's money Is greatly diminished by his having to subscrlbo to numerous funds, such as n "sports" fund, to keer the cricket or football grounds In order, which he himself Is never nble to see. Saturday Is no holiday for him. as h( docs not leave the office on those days until about 4 or 5 o'clock. It must not be supposed that the day's work of a bank clerk ends with the closing of the bank to customers. In fact. It only begins at that time. London Express. The Man With a Paper. The man with a paper during the morning and evening hours In New York city Is legion. There are about 400,000 of him. A man without a news paper on an elevated train. In a street car, aboard a ferryboat or In a railway coach, morning or evening going to or from business Is conspicuous.' He Is a rare bird Indeed, and looks as though he were wrecked and float ing alone on a sea of tossing papers. Re Is sure to feel lonesome and almost outside tho pale of civilization, for his fellow men, with their faces to their regular diet of dally news, hardly no tice him. If you have time to spare a moment from your morning paper. Just look about you. In car or boat, observe and listen. You will see every mortal man with often hundreds In view at one time religiously bowing at the altar of the news In silence that Is only brokcu by a continuous rustle aa the scores of leaves are turned. There Is no more devout newspaper reading community than Is found In the me tronoUs. New York Herald. Evea Bnda Urow Old. According to Professor Adam Sedg wick, says The Youth's Companion, there Is reason to believe that buds share In the growing old of the parent plant He Illustrates his meaning in this way: Suppose the average life of an Individual plant say a tree to be 100 years, then a bud removed whea the parent plant Is CO years old will also be virtually 60 years of age, and If transplanted by grafting will be able to live on the graft only CO years more.

The attempt of the Mldhurst district council to couvert the famous "Close Walks" four old yew avenues at Cowdray, In Sussex, Into an arrange ment of sewage tanks recalls a creepy story of a fultllled curse. At the disso lution of the monasteries Sir Anthony Browne obtained a grant of Battle Ab bey and the priory of Eastbourne, the palish In which the ruins of Cowdray are situated, and according to a pic turesque tradition one of the monks cursed him to bis face and prophesied that "by fire and water" his race should perish out of the land. Whnt foundation there may be for the story no man can any, but unquestionably the Brownes did so perish. George Samuel Browne, eighth Vis count Montague and owner of Cow dray, who was engaged to Miss Coutts, sister to Lady Burdett-Coutts mother, was drowned In the falls of La u fen burg In 1793. The messenger who brought the news to England met one going to Germany to Inform Lord Mon tague that Cowdray had been burned! He was succeeded by a distant rela tive, a Bomnn priest, who was dis pensed from bis vows that be might marry and continue the line, but be died a few months afterward and the title became extinct The estates went to the drowned viscount's sister, whose two sons were drowned together at Bognor In 1813. It Is a weird story. London Chronicle. The Correct Stroke In Swlmmtasc. The correct stroke of the legs is ex actly like that of a frog's hind legs. Watch one of these frogs and copy bis stylo. You cannot do better. The legs are drawn up together slowly, not with a Jerk, until they are gathered In close under the body. Then wltb a sudden, quick spring they are shot out behind, the ankles being turned so that the soles of the fee present as flat a surface as possible to the water and so offer more resistance from which to make progress. As the kick Is made the tegs should be spread out tn the shape of a letter V, but not allowed to sink far down under the surface of the water. If they kick downward at an angle Instead of out straight be hind much of their energy Is wasted In unnecessarily forcing the body out of tho water Instead of forward through It. Harper's ltuznr.

Booth said quietly, after tho fall of the curtain, amid shouts of mis guided laughs: "What was the matter, captain V The trembling captain owned reluc tantly that one of bis 25 cent men bad been seized In a fit. "Hease pay 30 cents next time, and employ one whose fits may not inter fere wttb Richard. Blchard Is unen durable enough without the addition of rented fits." team NaTlaatloa. The rise of steam navigation was low. Like most things new, It bad op position. In the sixteenth century aa unsuccessful Italian genius tried to apply steam to navigation. In 1736 a British patent was taken out for s steamboat. It was 1807 that witnessed Irnlton sailing np the Hudson In a boat driven by steam. In 1838 steamships crossed the Atlantic. ' roroo ( Habit.

One day about the year 1818 George Crulkshank was passing Newgate on his way to the exchange, when, seeing a crowd collected, he went forward to learn what was the matter and saw that It was the execution of several men and women. He was horrified at the spectacle and on Inquiring learned that the woman was being hanged for passing counterfeit 1 notes. He learn ed also that this punishment was quite a common thing, even though the poor wretches often sinned In Ignorance, be ing the dupes of men who sent them to buy some trifle and return the change to them. Wrung with pity and with shame, Crulkshank went home and Im mediately, under the Inspiration of his feeling, sketched a grotesque carica ture of a bank note, ne called It a bank restriction note not to be Imi tated. He represented on It a place of execution, wltb spaces about filled In with baiters and manacles, a figure of Britannia devouring her children and transport ships bearing the lucky or unlucky ones who had escaped death to Van Dlemen's Land or Australia, while In place of the well known signa ture of Abraham Newlund was that of "J. Ketch," He had Just finished this, when bis publisher Hone entered, and seeing It, begged to have It for publication. So Crulkshank etched It and gnve It to none, who exhibited It for sale In his window with startling effect. Crowds quickly begun to gather and purchased so eagerly that the Issue was soon ex hausted. Crulkshank was kept hard at work making more etchings, the crowds grew so great that the street was block ed, and the mayor had to send soldiers to clear It. Hone realized over 700 In a few days. Good Words. Her Owat Selection. ' Through oceans of remnants and rib bons the puffing big woman towed the meek little man. "Whnt In the world shall I send her, John?" she blustered. "Come, suggest something that would please Aunt Bet sy. Something Inexpensive. Why don't you say something?" "Stationery, books or workboxes," suggested the meek llttlo man. "Nothing of the kind. You couldn't select a present for tho ashman. I will look at some of thoso fancy boxes of soap." They were before the soap counter, and sbo bad her finger on an elaborate box containing six round cakes of white soap. "Fancy and perfumed!" she said, lifting a cake. "The very thing that would please her tho most You may wrap that up, miss!" "But, my dear," protested the meek little man. "You Just keep quiet. I don't care for any suggestions from a person without taste." "Really" "Keep quiet, John Tonbrook!" It seemed as If her voice bad pene trated every corner of the great store, and the little man shrank away In mor tification. ''Well, John, what did she say about the little gift? Something nice, I know." "She returned it" "Whatr "Tea; yon will And a not In the box." She unfolded the missive and read: "Niece I return the box of shaving cap. I am a little too old to appreciate the Joke of being called, tho 'Bearded Lady.' Your Aunt Betsy." Chicago Newa. Absorbs All Kaowleda.
