A High Ratc of Intcrcst.

A novel system of money lending is
being practiced in many large down
town business houses, and, though
done on mutual benefit" plan, the
interest levied would put the ordinary
pawnbroker to the blush. The en-
ployes of q large establishment, en-
ploying perhaps twenty-five or fifty
clerks, form a mutual benefit asso-
citation" For two months each employe
pays TO the treasurer l cent a day, and
this forms the lending fund on which
tho whole system is founded.
In the larger houses, where the
salaries are paid monthly, the clerks
often find themselves in the middle of
the month without the necessary funds
to carry them through. Then they
borrow from the treasurer, say IS, and
until the loan is paid they are expected
to hand to the treasurer 1 cent for every
dollar borrowed, and at the same time
to give to tho treasurer an order on the
cashier for the amount of money they
have borrowed.
Tho clerk who borrows the money
does not, of course, feel the payment
of the small amount of interest which
Is collected daily, and even when he
returns the loan at the end of the
month he does no realize that he has
paid interest at the rate of 365 per
cent Gf-course-e each month the
amount of money in tho hands-ef the
treasurer increases until, at the end of
the year, he has much moro than
enough to cover the demands of the
clerks for loans.
Then he sets aside a certain amount
as n fund, and the balance he divides
into equal parts, to be paid to the
clerks us dividends. This Is done once
a year. Tho result is obvious. Tho
clerk who is saving and apportions his
salary TO his necessities has no need of
becoming a borrower; that Is, in the
year he only pays to the association
his dues, amounting to 50. IS, or 1 cent
a day, and yet he draws as a dividend
his share of the exorbitant interest
that his impecunious fellow clerks
have paid monthly.-New York Her

How Gladstone Reads.

Mr.. Gladstone usually has three
books in reading at the same time, and
changes from one to tho other when
his mind has reached tho limit of alb
sorption. This is q necessary correct
i've to the tendency TO think only of
one thing at one time, which some
times in politics leads him TO neglect
that all round survey of tho situation
which is Indispensable to a prime min
lster. During the beginning of the
Irish question in 1880 he was SO alb
sorbed in the question of the coercion
OF Turkey that he could hardly be in
duced to spare n thought for ireland;
now it is just us difficult to get him to
think OF any political question but that
of Ireland.
He complains sometimes that his
memory is no longer quite SO good as
it used to be, but, although that may
be true, it is still twice so good as any
body else's, for Nh. Gladstone has an
extraordinary faculty of not only re-
membering those things he ought to
remember, but for forgetting those
things it is useless for him to remem-
Der: His mind is thus unencumbered
with any unnecessary top hamper,
and he can always, SO to speak, lay his
hand upon anything the moment he
wants it This retentive memory was
no doubt born with him, but It has
been largely developed by tho con
slant habit of taking pains. When he
reads a book he does SO pencil in hand,
marking off on the margin those pass
ages which he wishes to remember,
querying those about which he is in
doubt, and putting q cross opposite
those which he disputes. At the end
of the volume he constructs a kind of
index of his own, which enables him
to refer to those things he wishes to
remember in tho book.-The Writer.

DR.. Scott of Greenock, used to tell
Of n sailor who came to be married,
but when asked if he would take the
woman TO be his wife, looked blank
and said: II would like to know first
what you are going to say to she" At
another time, when the woman was
asked if she would obey, but did not
answer, the man-alsO q sailor-ex-
claimed, Leave that TO me, sir"
In those days people that felt sleepy
during the sermon used, as now in
Germany, 10 shake off drowsiness by
standing up; but poor human nature
made this at times an occasion Of dis
play. AT Old Monkland a man who
had on a rather gaudy vest stood up
more than once, and threw back his
coat, apparently TO let his vest be seen.
Mr.. Bower, the minister, at length
said: Moo, John, ye had better sit
doom. We have a seen your Draw
waistcoat."
1t was To Mr.. Bower that the grave
digger once said: Trades very dull
the moo. | haen n buried a l~eevin'
cratur for three weeks"
The people seem TO have had a dis
like TO sermons being read. They
used TO say: Hoo can we mind the
minister scTlIlOn II ne Gamma nina II
himsel'2"
What are we to think of the lady
who sent TO her minister, Mr.. Risk, of
Dalscrf, u polite message that "he
should clean his teeth" and received
the answer hat ''she should scrape
her tongue2'
When his people sent a deputation
requesting him TO tell them more in
his sermons about renouncing their
own Righteousness, he tartly replied:
1T is the first time l heard that you
had any righteousness to renounce."
Mr.. Thorn, of Govan, maintained q
great warfare against the Glasgow
magistrates. One day, while no was
standing with the provost in the street,
a ragged urchin camo up begging,
and WIS stornly driven away BY the
provost, who had himself risen from
nothing. Mr.. Thorn interposed, and
said: Hey, laddie, there's a penny for
you. Yell maybe provost of Glas-
gov yourself yet"
One of the magistrates saw him ono
day riding a good horse, and said:
You're better than your Master, Mr..
Thorn, for he rode on an ass" Mr..
Thorn retortedi 1--WE would be will
ing enough TO ride on asses, too, but

Tho Blindman,s Dog.

The street lamp on the corner of
Broadway and Twenty-ninth street is
the nightly business stand of a blind
man and a dog. 1 watched them last
night, having become interested in
them through the stories that had
come to me of the dogs intelligence.
| heard the man ask the time of a gem
tleman who stopped to drop something
in the box. He was told it was 10
ocfeek.-The gentleman walked on
and the man called out to the dog:
Come, Tom, it's 10, and time for
us to go home" The little dog
gathered himself together, held up the
box to the man, waited until he took
the money out and put it in his pocket,
buttoned his old coat, and then stood
on the curb and examined the cars
coming along. Finally a green one
came in sight and the dog drew the
nan out into the mud and stood until
it came along. The driver evidently
knew them, for when he came to
where they stood he pulled up and
they got in. 1 was assured that it was
a regular thing, and that the dog has
a remarkable faculty for faces. It is
said that he even knows the people
who give aims to the old fellow, and
never fails to greet them with a dem

Counting the Notes.

Counting the dancing notes in q
bar of sunlight sounds like ono of
those hopeless, never ending tasks
with which malignant fairies delight
to break the spirit of little heroines in
the German folk stories. Something
nor than this, however, has been
achieved by modern science, which is
now able to count the particles float
ing in any given portion of the at
mosphere and determine what proper
ton of these are dangerous germs and
what are nero dust. DR.. Frankland's
curious experiments have shown us
how to count the micro-organisms,
and now John Aitken, of Fa1kirk, by
a totally different method, has been
enabled to take stock of the more
harmless but hardly less interest
ing dust notes. Thirty thousand
such particles have been detected by
him in the thousandth of a cubic inch
of the air of q room. In the outside
atmosphere in dry weather the same
measurement of air yielded 2,119,
whereas, after a heavy rainfall, the
number was only 521. That this
power of prying into atmospheric
secrets will eventually yield very i'm
portant results must be obvious to all.
Among the most curious discoveries
already made is the direct relation be-
tween dust particles and fogs, mist

This punishment is as peculiar as
most Chinese punishments are. The
man is seized by four or five stalwart
attendants, thrown on his face, his
loose .pyjnmas rolled up so as to ex-
pose the fleshy part of the back of his
thighs. He is firmly held outstretched
In this position by men at his head
and feet. Two operators then squat
down opposite n another on each
side of the victim. One takes q strip
of seasoned bamboo about three feet
long and n inch wide, and begins
lightly spanking the backs of the
thighs. He gives twenty of these ap-
parently harmless spanks, and then
hands the bamboo to his vis-a-vis, who
gives his twenty, and then hands it
back; and SO on, turn about, until the
two hundred blows are administered.
AT first the punishment looks ridicu-
lousy light; but by the time the
first fifty blows are reached the skin
of the parts beaten begins to assume
the appearance of thick wash leather;
and before the hundredth blow the
skin begins to fly off in loose white
flakes; by the time two hundred blows
have been struck, the whole of the
back Of both thighs looks like q
mass of swollen raw liver, though
not a drop of blood flows from the
parts. 1t Is said that n man would

where the Timber Goes.

Iron cross ties have been tried on
the Pennsylvania railroad and found
less desirable than those of good, hon
est white oak. This will be unpleas-
ant news for tree lovers. Tho most
relentless consumers of the forest
trees are the men that must have trees
for cross ties, and nice, straight young
trees for telegraph poles. Two thou
sand lies for every mile of steel rails
laid means a fearful gap in some fair
forest, and q mile of telegraph poles
means a goodly grove cut down. Not
until railroads can find q substitute
for oak ties, and can lay their at
tendant wires underground, will tho
forests of this country stand any
chance against the woodman's AK

HORSE CAR


AHuh ShAn IN PLANNERS, and Women
Who Are to Some Extent Responsible.
THE manners of people in Brook
Ign and New York horse cars are
abominable, said an elderly gentle
man who stood on the real platform
of a Fulton street a the other day.
Il am a travelling man" he continued,
''and have had occasion to make a
study of this subject. For instance,
just take a look inside this car and YOU
will see what l mean. First you will
notice that while several ladies are
standing several men are sitting. That
you will say is nothing unusual, nor
is it in our r If, however, you
will look q little more closely you
must notice hat If some of the ladies,
L suppose we must call them by that
name, would move along a little there
would be seats for at least three more.
Do they move2 Not by a long shot,"
and the elderly gentleman stopped a
moment to wipe off some big drops that
had trickled down his back from the
projecting roof. ''The manners of the
average New York or Brooklyn wo-
man, but moro especially those of the
former, are disgusting, p" he continued,
and they are responsible to n large
extent for the impoliteness shown
them by the men. Now in Boston you
Will never see a lady standing in a car,
while a gentleman is sitting. Why3
Well, in the first place, there is much
moro p~oliteness practiced in that city
of beans and culture; men are not SO
hardened there as they are in our
larger cities, nor is the population so
cosmopolitan. We are suffering in a
great measure from the lack of good
manners due to the great preponder-
ance in our midst of foreign elements.
Moreover, in Boston conductors are
constantly upon the outlook for the
comfort of their passengers. If there
is a chance to make more room they
will do it. l have only seen one or
two instances of this supervision on
the part of our conductors. Even in
Chicago the better class of foreigners
and the native Americans will almost
invariably give up their seats to
ladies'"
what made me mad, the other
day." chimed in another passenger,
who had listened to the conversation
quietly up to this point, twas this: l
was on a Brooklyn ar and it was rain
ing even harder than 1t is now. The
a was jammed and many of the pas
sengers were women, young and old,
many of them evidently being shop
girls, for it was the hour of the close
of labor in the stores. A delicate look
ing girl, who seemed very weary vas
standing at some little distance from
me, and 1 tried to attract her attention
in order TO give her my seat. 1 could
not catch her eye, SO 1 finally arose
and reached over to touch her. l had
no sooner left my seat than a spindle
looking dude, with a cape coat on,
slipped into it. Was 1 mad7 Was II
Well, l should say / was, but what
could l dor L hate a fuss, so 1 quietly
slipped out on TO the platform and let
my mad cool off. I'd have given a
ten to have punched that dudes head,
though, if I'd have had him in a moro
secluded place"
That's it" said the elderly gentle
mar as he stepped nimbly to the edge
of the platform preparatory to jump
ing off. well, they're all bad
enough, heaven knows. Good night"
and with a quick jump he disappeared
in the darkness Brooklyn Eagle.
