The Old Gum Shoe,

Do you remember the old-fashioned
rubber shoe? All. that was the shoe
worth having! 1t was none of your
fiimsy, trim, shiny denominations of the
present degenerate day; it was a great,
clumsy, Unlocking moccasin, that had
neither form nor symmetry, but it
would wear out dozen of our modern
shoes. What an art was it to put the
thing on! Turning it half inside out,
you put your toe into its interior, and
then with tug and jerk you pulled
the heel in place, and you were inside
shoe that chung to you tighter than a
brother! And what fun vast at school
to dimple in the Zoe, place a spit-ball in
the hollow, and than, with fingers in
side, to send the ball with catapultic
power smack into the face of the studi-
Gus scholar on the opposite side of the
roomi Alas there is no fun in the
modern rubber shoe, and but very little
wear! Joy and utility have given place
to mere beauty of outline and prOsaic
comfort. Boston transcript.

THE precocity OF the London street boy is
notorious, but most people will be surprised
to learn that urchins of ten and twelve, imi-
tating their bigger brothers, have taken to
organizing themselves into street gangs,
under duly elected Captain. Such, howeE-
er, was proved to be the case at Woolwich.
Ten lads of that tender age had banded
themselves together for predatory purposes,
and SO astute were they that they were not
captured until nearly every shop-keeper in
Crawford and Firth had been robbed. They
stole books, sweets, knives, biscuits and
timed Holsters. The bigger boys ate all the
Holsters, and fight ensued, but notwith
standing these intestine divisions, they evad.

In this year of general prosperity there is
double pleasure in recording the prosperous
condition of such an old landmark of finance
and commerce as the Pacific Bank at the cor
ner of Pine and Sansome streets. This ster-
ling institution has weathered the storms of
twenty years of evergrowing trade, not only
in safety but with profit to itself and its
patrons. 1t is now regarded as one of the
staunchest and safest banks on the Pacific
Coast, the management of which is acknowl-
edged to be in competent hands. 1t has been
uniformity prosperous and successful and the
vicissitudes of commerce have found and left
i: unscathed Such bank is of real value to
the people of the Coast, for it represents the
stability of affairs without which there can be
no real progress. IS. i. Chronicle.

WASN'T THAT CLEVER"

There is a story told to illustrate the
ruling passion of the parrot, which
may or may not be true, but it is as
follows:
Two sailors once went with tame
parrot to show in Toxic, where u
Japanese was giving an exhibition of
sleight-of- hand, interspersed with
acrobatic feats. At the end of each
trick, the sailors said,-
Nov isn't that clever! Wonder
what he'll do nexi?"
With each act of the performance
their establishment increased, and
they kept muttering, "Wonder what
he'll do next?" The parrot heard this
exclamation so often that he picked
it up.
Presently the japanese tried to
keep in the air a number of bamboo
sticks ignited at both ends; but hav-
ing his attention distracted, he al
lowed one of the sticks to drop.
Unfortunately, it fell upon heap
of fire crackers, bombs, etc, which ex
ploded, blew out the walls, blew off
the roof, scattered the audience in all
directions. and sent the parrot,
minus it's tail feathers and one eye,
about four hundred yards.
''As the bird came down with flop
it shrieked, WASN'T that clever,
Wonder what he'll do next"
"YoU say that he would not submit

Fuel and Water on Ocean
Steamers.
Boston journal


A correspondent asks for informa
ton as to the amount of water and
coal consumed by an ocean steamer in
crossing the Atlantic, and whether sea
water is used for filling the boilers.
Great changes have occurred in ocean
steam navigation since the first Gu.
nard steamer entered Boston harbor
ia 1910, by which the quantity Of
fresh water and coal required on a
single voyage has been very much re.
duced, The production Of the sur
face condensing process prevents the
waste of steam, which is now saved
for continual service, and thus greatly
reduces the water needed. The Gu
uard steamer Atlas, 1898 tons, before
leaving port, fills her boilers with
fresh water, their capacity being from
forty to fifty tons, and this quantity is
generally sufficient to last through the
voyage, but in case it runs short the
distilliDg apparatus on board can make
up the deficiency from sea water. For
fuel she usually carries about 600 tons
of coal, the daily consumption being
from thirty five to forty tons, and the
run across the ocean requires about
900 tons. The Servia, the latest ad-
dition to this line, an immense steamer
OF 1892 tons, requires about l75 tons
day, while the old Scotia, which was
only about one.quarter the size of the
new steamer, consumed from $50 to
l75 tons daily. This great saving in
coal is owing to the invention of the
compound marine engine.
