Accounting for the Cash.

Speaking Of checks and cashiers reminds M
Of the absurd extreme to which this systsn
Of counter balances (no pun intended is oftea
carried in this city. Every mechanical devio
for the preservation of integrity IS employed,
and a most complicated system Of accounting
maintained by which the cashier acts as
check upon the salesman, and the salesman
upon the cashier, and tine machine upon bOth.
You rarely pay money to the person who sells
YOU goods. You receive a something that
looks like faro chip at the soda fountain and
step across the store to fenced-in individual
and pay the charge; you buy ticket at the
elevated station only to drop it into box
three feet distant; you get a paper OF tacks
and the clerk gives you q memorandum Of the
purchase, presents 8 similar one at the desk,
and makes third and different one in his
own pass book.
Even in little shops, where the entire busi-
ness is attended to by the owner and one clerk,
the check system is in vogue, and many q
time, when one OF the two was at dinner or
otherwise occupied, have / been handed q
check for minor purchase only to walk three
| steps to desk, there to surrender the check
| to the very person who gave it to me. II L
all conducted with the solemnity Of a Gilbert
| comedy. Sometimes the small tradesmar
who gives and receives the same check limit
the possibilities of fraud or accident still fur
| ther by making an entry Of the sale in ths

Provinciaiisms Heard in Ulster.

A man after being exposed to the vicis-
STUDIES of weather becomes seriously Ill
without knowing what is the matter. and
he expresses his condition by saying that
he has got "a regular founder" Head
better is used in the same vulgar sense
as "head cfsok and bottle washDr' in
some localities The beetle was ma
chine for producing figured fabrics by the
pressure of a roller, and 'head beetler'
probably means the chief director of this
class of work. A ''heelern is a cock
which strikes out well with his heels. In
Ulster the word is sometimes used for a
bold, forward woman. When a child
begins 10 nod and look sleepy he is told
that johnny Nod is coming up his
back" which is understood as a signal
for going to bed.
Potatoes and point" is a curious
phrase in which the poverty Of the lower
classes in Ireland finds unconscious ex-
preston. The idea is that the potatoes
before being eaten are pointed" at a her
ring, which is hung up to serve as an
imaginary relish to the simple fare, but
too precious to be freely consumed. Dab
at the stool is another expression re
ferring to eating customs; salt is placed
upon u anu thCH ~ eiS
potatoes are taken out of the pot, takes
one and '.dabs" it at the stool to get a
portion of the salt. 'Pouce" and
''poucey" mean dust and dusty, but by a
common perversiOn of language "pou-
cey' comes TO mean a person in flax
mill who is exposed to the irritation OF
dusty particles and becomes in cOnse-
Guence short winded and brOnchitic.
"Roughness, as in Scotland, means
plenty. "Ruction' signifies row, a dis
turbance; possibly it is a contraction OF
ructation, from the Latin verb ructare.
"Skelly," to squint, is from the Scotch,
and is found in Scott. The Danish is
"skele" ''Smittle," also used in Scot
land, means infectious, and is connected
with the verb to smite. Think long
means to be homesick.-Chambers' Jour
al.

Roth Amsterdam and Rotterdam are cut
up by canals as an American city is by
streets. Their canals are filled by ships and
boats of all sizes and shapes, and the effect Is
much more picturesque than that OF Venice,
where the gondola reigns.
Holland, as a whole, is more of foreign
country than any of those OF northern Europe.
It's canals and queerly built houses are added
TO by the quaint dresses of the poorer classes.
The parlor society of Christendom Is about
the same the world over. 1t is in the lower
classes alone that we now find queer costumes
or a difference in manners, and even among
the peasants these differences are fast passing
away. The railroad and the telegraph are
cosmopolitanizing the nations Of the world.
The people are rapidly changing and lOo
wears from now all Europe will probably be
dressed in the same clothes.
The typicaI Dutchman of fiction and the
past must even now be looked for outside OF
Rotterdam and Amsterdam His long pipe,
his knickerbockers and his baggy form are
found only in the villages of Sunday, and
the richer element, such as you see in the
great hotels or at The Hague, the fashionable
CAPITAL of Holland, are no different in dress
or manners from the ladies or gentlemen of
the Paris salons or the London drawing room.
MANY of the Holland families, and the laborers,
however hold TO the customs of their fathers,
and some of their dresses are quaint, indeed.
Riding in a second class car from Rotterdam
to LeyGen, had four companions-twoy young
neaSant couples who were out for a holiday.
They were lovers, judged, from their ac-
tions. and they were not at all abashed at my
presence. While they cooed and put their
arms about one another and looked love to
ewes that spake again, l took an inventory OF
a..
