TWO SIDES OF A STORY.

Two boys went to hunt grapes.
One was happy because they found
grapes. The other was unhappy
because the grapes had seeds in
them.
Two men being convalescent, were
asked how they were. One said,
~ am better today" The other
said, ~ was worse yesterday"
When it rains one man says, "This
will lay the dust" The other says it
will make mud.
Two children looking through col.
ored glasses, one said,. 1.-THE world
is blue" The other said, at is
bright.n
Two boys eating their dinner, one
said, 81 would rather have some
thing or other than this.n The
other said, "This is better then moth.
ing"
A servant thinks a mans house
is principally kitchen. A guest,
that it is principally parlor.
81 am sorry that l live," says one
man, II am sorry that must die,r
another.
81 am glad" says one, athat it is
no worse" II am sorry" says an
other, that it is no better.n

misfortunes.
One man thinks he is entitled To

SELECTIONS.
A MARVELLOUS CASH BOX.

In New Orleans, La, there IS now
on exhibition u novelty in the shape
of a fare and change box for street
railway cars. The box generally re.
sembles in external appearance an
ordinay railway fare box, but diff.
fers from it materially in its work.
ings. 1t not only serves as a de-
posltory for the customary nickels
paid by the passengers for trans.
portation, but it also makes change.
There are two openings in the top OF
the box, one being for the reception
of fares and the other for the max.
ing of change. 1t is this money
changing apparatus that is an inter.
esting aud most valuable novelty.
For instance, if the passenger de-
string to pay fare should offer a
silver dollar to be changed he would
not hand it to the driver but would
drop it into the box through an
opening marked "change." The
dollar wonld go into some inner re.
cess, but at the same moment half
dollar, a quarter dollar, two dimes
and a nickel would appear in small
basin in reach OF the passenger, who
would thus get his change and then
drop his nickel into the place for
fares. If a half dollar should be Of.
fered fer change quarter dollar,
two dimes and nickel would be
returned by the ingenious mechan-
ism. If quarter dollar were Of
fered the change would come out in
the form OF two dimes and a nickel.
A dime put in for change would
bring forth two nickels. II by mis-.
take a nickel should be dropped in
to the change hopper it would not
disturb the interior arrangements,
but would pass through into the
basin and be returned to the pas
senger.
Of course this automatic mechan-
ism would not give change for bank
notes, as the principles of it's opera.
tions depend on the weight and
sizes Of the coins which, on entering
the box, pass through holes proper
toned to their respective sizes, and
then press upon levers which open
other orifces and set free the cor.
responding coins which are to come
out in change.
There are also ON the side of the
box, under glass, four dial plates
fitted with hands or indices, which
mark the amounts of money in the
change department. When car
starts out the change box mnst be
furnished with a proportion of coins
of the denominations mentioned, and
as change is made, and as these are
successfully dropped out, others
must be put in their places. These
dial plates show what is on hand
and obviate the necessity of examin.
ing the interior OF the mechanism.

William WhItley's Embellishments ON th
Queens Road Burned to the Ground

William Whitley's sEstabltshment on the
0ueen's Road Burned to the Ground.
LONDON, June 1.-THE great establish
meut devoted TO various kinds OF business
of William Whitley, OF OfWestbourne Grove,
Queens road and Kensington Garden
square, took fire this morning.
The fire was discovered at O'Clock this
morning. At noon the flames were under
control. The ilre occurred to-day In the
same department which was destroyed by
fire IN 1892 and was since rebuilt. The
tlames quickly spread from the counting
house to the stables in the rear and thence
spread to WestbOurne grove. All the
shops from No. 80 10 No. AZ were de-
stroyed. All the engines OF the entire fire
brigade were pouring streams upon the
burning mass. The great iron doors
which separate the several departments
OF the immense establishment prevented
the destruction Of the entire block.
The business of this great establishment
rs Of the most divided character. There
are counting house, exchange and
insurance departments, departments of
millinery, dress-making and dry goods in
general, gentleman's furnishing depart
ment In all its ramltications, a depart
mont for poultry, fish, game, ETC., and so
on along the liHe, apparently everything

his loss at 100000

out early this morning in the extensive
lard aud pork packing establishment OF
Washington Butchers Sons, on Moore

extensive four-stOry building and Occu-
pied nearly half a block. Owing to the
intlammable nature Of the contents OF the

the third story, spread rapidly,
and burned so tiercely as 10 make IL i'm
possible for the iremen TO do more than
endeavor to conhne IL to the building.
The walls finally fell and the building
was completely demolished. Several
dwellings on the south side Of Moore
street were damaged more or less by fire
and water. Several firemen were Injured
but none fatally. A number Of narrow
escapes were made when the walls fell
The loss Will probably reach $150,00O.
The fire is believed 70 have been caused
by a bolt Of lightning igniting some OF the
fat stored in the building. The firm has
100000 insurance on the building and
stock.

W ASHINGTON, june T.-COmmodOre
sicard's summing up OF the points of SUI
Perority which the new steel ships now
being constructed may claim over the old
gives the following: First, the new ships
have double bottoms; if any accident
happens TO the outer one the ship is
not seriously injured, provided the in
ner one still remains intact; second.
they have protective decks which
slant fore and aft and toward the
sides; these decks are made of thicl,
steel, and beneath them the engines and
magazines are located; third. they have
athwart ships Water-tight hulkheads.
loNrth, they have numerous subdivisions
below, so that If the ship springs a leak it
can only till one OF these, and soon be
repaired; fifth, there are powerful
pumps connected with all the sub
divisions and with the double
bottom; SIXTH they carry q
considerable amount Of coal above the
protective deck and on each side of the
boilers; this serves as a sort of earth
work; seventh, they have gun shields
made of two inch steel plates. These are
placed dupOn the front of the gun carriages,
anu are intended to protect the carriages
and crew in measure from small shot
and pieces of shell. The guns are other
wise protected by heavy hempen mats
called ''mantlets," which are hung up
between the guns.

appointments in Savannah. He hopes to
bring about speedy change in at least
one of them.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has written Secra-
tary BaYard a letter warmly commending

OF Gen. Young does not prejudice Col.

THE DUTY ON RICE.
There Is the best Of reasons for believ-
ing that the Treasury Department will
decide not to Increase the duty on broken
rice from 90 per cent. ad val0rem TO ~
cents per pound. The ad val0rem rate
was established by decision of the
Treasury Department in 1888 upon the uH-
derstanding or the assumption
importers Of broken rice for brewing pur-
poses have made contracts, and change
to the higher rate now proposed would
operate to cause great hardship to busi-
ness men. 1t is altogether probable that
Assistant Secretary Falrehild will feel
obliged TO continue the ad valorem
rate and suggest that the rate
OF duty on broken rice be
continued as fixed during Secretary Fol-
gers time, until after some remedial act
may be passed by Congress. The Assist
ant Secretary is not inclined inc0nsider-
ately TO reverse all the precedents and
rulings OF his predecessors. While
IL Is possible and even
probable that advantage has
been taken Of the regulations to get In
rice that was little broken under the 20
per cent. ad valOrem rate, II Is also prob
able that the bulk Of the rice imported
under the "brokenv classification WAS
used for brewing purposes and not for
food.
