Women Are Good Customers.

The custom of keeping bank ac- counts has increased with surprising rapidity among the women of New York within the last five years. There are two banks-the Lincoln national and the Fifth avenue which have upward of 1,5O0 women depositors each, and special facilities are enjoyed by women in these two banks. Important alterations are now being made in the internal ar rangement of the Lincoln bank in or der to give better accommodations to the female customers. General Thomas l.. James, president of the bank, said that of the $6, 633, 900 of deposits then on hand fully $1,OOO,- 900 stood to the credit of women. When asked how the women in gen. eral managed their accounts, MT. James said that they were more methodical and more careful than the men. They kept their books written up more closely than the men and never attempted to over- draw their accounts. ''They are the best kind of customers for bank to have" added the president.-Nsw Yosk Timss

From one to fifteen feet day according to hardness of rock can be drilled with this apparatus We wish MT Bragg success in this cold wa. ter campaign.

BLACK GOVERNORS.
A Bit of Forgotten History.

For many years previous to the Revo- lution and down to as late as 1920 it was the custom of the negroes of Connecti- cut, in imitation of the whites, to elect a governor for themselves. This was generally done on the Saturday succeed ing the election day of the whites.
 The exact sphere of his power does not seem to be defined, but it probably pertained ito matters and things in gen. eral" among the blacks, including "mor- als, manners and ceremonies. He set tied all grave disputes in the last resort, questioned conduct, imposed penalties and punishments sometimes for vice or misconduct.
 The black justices of the peace ap- pointed by the colored governors were generally very severe on people of their own color who had transgressed the law, and it was not unusual, when a slave had done some very bad thing, to turn him over to the black justice for pun ishment, who almost invariably inflicted 3 more severe penalty than white just ice would have done. Thus the appoint ees of the colored governors kept their own people in order.
 This system passed away with the ab- olition of slavery in this State.

A Cats Risky Ride.

Conductor Barnes had passenger without a ticket on g Baltimore and Ohio accommodation train from Wash ington recently. It was a small, sleek cat of the masculine gender. 1t was found in a car at Beltsville station, twenty miles from Baltimore, and in conformity with the rules of the road. was put off when the train came to a stop. But pussy was refractory and de- termined to get a free ride.
 As the train was starting it sprang upon truck under one of the cars and clung for dear life while the train roared across trestles and swung around curves. Though the cars made number of stops. the cat still kept his seat. and when the locomotive panted into Camden station at 10 o'clock he was still there.
 He made no effort to get away, and Chief Detective Grammar, of the Balti. more and Ohio. took him in charge and will press him into the secret service of the road, assigning him especially to de. tect and arrest intruding rodents in the detective's little 10 by office at Camden station.-Baltimore News

 Watson Hardenbergh's spirited young horse distinguished himself last Friday by very runaway performance. He became frightened at some large young trees which had been laid by the side of the road leading from the old Watson place to Railroad street; when Watson was trying to make him go past these objects he shied and threw Wat son out and ran down Railroad street across the Housatonic railroad track and around the horse trough and into E w. Warmers barn. Watson escaped with only sprained finger, the horse only had few scratches and the buggy was only slightly injured.
 Jay A. Underwood recently called at the Stevens House in Norfolk and during his conversation with the pro- prietor Jay was asked how he liked the new time table of the O. N. B & w.. road ?

They propose to take off the strings of second hand coffins (cars) now in use and will run palace cars and hire opera singers as brakemen." Land lord Stevens turned to President Will son, who sat near, and asked How s that for high ?" Jay's feelings can bet ter be imagined than described, as he had never met Mir.

A Cheap Paint is an Expensive

A Cheap Paint is an Expensive Palnt.-You want to buy 20 gallons to paint your house. You find paint that is 20 cents per gallon less than the Chil- ton. You can save $5. Let us see. The cheap paint you will find contains one- tenth of gallon less paint than the Chiffon, has water in it, and is deficient in body and cannot be made to cover the same amount of surface within one- fifth. Because the cheap paint is short one-tenth in measure, you must buy 22 so-called gallons to get what you want, 20 actual gallons. Now your cheap paint will not cover within one-fifth the same surface. You must therefore buy four more gallons. This makes 26 gallons of cheap paint against 20 gallons of the Chiffon Paint.
 How about the $5 you were gong to save?

Setting a Broken Neck.

A woman living in Holyoke, Mass. , recently fell down stairs and broke her neck. Four days after the accident Dr Mahoney, of Holyoke, and other doc tors decided to make an offort to replace the dislocated bones.
 It was ascertained that the third and fourth cervical vertabr@ were displaced to the right and that the cord had been considerably stretched. There are sev- eral small facets of bone that serve to lock the vertabr@ into place when they are in the natural position and these had become locked in wrong position. The head was first turned to the right so as to disengage the facets and any protuberance of bone that might hold the vertebr@ out of place. A quick pull and turn to the left brought the op- eration to successful close and the physicians heard with relief the dull click of the replaced bones After the operation pulse and temperature became normal and the breathing regular.

A Cup That Tells of Poison.

The rhinoceros horn cup was once supposed to indicate the presence of any kind of poison. It is no longer employed in that capacity, and many persons sup pose that the use of such an article was purely superstition. 1t had it's foun- dation, however, in 8 scientific fact Most poisons are acid, and acid of any kind poured into a rhinoceros horn cup will at once bubble and effervesce. It is exceedingly curious that such an ap- parent superstition had its foundation in such a fact, but perhaps the ancients knew more about such things than we give them credit. for.-New York Jour- nal

The Hungarian government does
not sell any part Of its forests, but
buys more each year. In some parts
| of the country, as in the eastern re-
gion Of the Carpathians, woods are
found of several thousand acres in
extent, consisting for the most part
of red beech. This is used for fire
wood, carriages, slaves and agricul-
tural implements, and in the manu-
facture OF bent wood. There are few
fires and they seldom permanently
damage the woods. There are large
resinous forests in Transylvania, but
they are not very accessible, and
there are also some in the district of
Marmaros, in the northeast Of the
country. Popular Science Monthly.

Tbere Are No UistoricaI Novels.

There are no historical novels, and
there are no historical pictures.
Flaubert, who was a greater artist
than Balzac or Zola, chose Carthage
for the scene Of his historical novel,
because next to nothing was known
about the Carthaginians and his
imagination could construct and
create unhampered by historical
data. Shakespeare was able to
write historical plays because he
knew very little history. The essen.
tial quality Of the historical novel
and the historical picture is that il
should contain no history, and from
this rule the great masters have new

Arteriai Blood Flow.

One Of the most interesting Of the
new psycho-physiological instru.
ments is the plethysmograpb, which
indicates the least flow of blood in
the arteries Of the arm. By means
Of it observers have found that when
the sentence Of the judge Is read be
fore criminal there is a decrease in
the flow Of blood in the arm, but
that the sight of glass Of wine in.
creases the flow. Again, when it is
required to perform an arithrnetical
calculation, to multiply for example,
nine times seventy three, an increase
Of blood flow is the result.
The flow is little affected in q bru.
tai murderer or born criminal when
O pistol is shown to him, whereas In
the normal man the plethysmograph
indicates decided effect. Thus in
voluntary testimony is supplied ais to
the nervous and physical nature Of
the born instead of the accidental
criminal. London Chronicle.
