and interesting newsboy. 1t is not
possible to describe the mechanism,
but it's ingenuity can be imagined
when when it is known that it will
sell any size and weight of paper from
the forty-page Sunday blanket sheet
to the four-pagc penny daily, and will
return proper change when the price
is under nickel 1t can also be set
to make change for any coin, and it
cannot be cheated. If the buyer sets
it for change for half dollar and
then puts in q quarter instead, the
machine outsharps the would-bc
sharp by returning no change at all.
While is is not expected that it will
supplant the newsboys, it will, I'M
doubtedly greatly lessen their num-
Der. 1t is easily loaded and unloaded,
and one boy can manage fifty for Il
morning and the same number for an
evening paper. The saving in com
missions over the newsboy is very
large, and is expected to run 100 per
cent. annually on the cost Of the ma
chine, which is $50. The first ma
chine put in operation paid for itself
in three months.

Edward II. Berry has been piano
mover in this city continuously the
seventeen years past, says the San
Francisco Examiner. Berry is a big
man, standing six feet, stocking clad,
and weighing 260 pounds. He is
SO well proportional as not to appear
so heavy. He is a native son, having
been born forty-two years ago in Del
Norte County, near where Rouge
River meets with the sea. Del Norte
was a wilderness then, and Berry
grew up sportsman and an angler,
pursuits which made him strong Of
limb and sound Of wind. When a
youth he went in for athletics some
what, and was the premier wrestler
of Northern California until he was
apprenticed TIC tanner and currier.
That trade did not suit him, and he
tried horse training, profession in
which his strength first became no.
ticeable. leaning followed, and as
one Of it's most lucrative branches
Berry took up the moving Of fine fur
niture His daily work Is to move
from fifteen to twenty pianos up and
down stairs, sometimes several flights.
Berry manages one end Of the piano,
while two men can barely handle the
other. The strong man also takes
the lower end in going up stairways,
often being compelled to sustain the
whole weight of instruments Of the
grand" form, which weigh between
1000 and 1900 pounds. He esti-
mates his daily lifts Of dead weight
to be fifty, and the weight lifted each
time to average 1000 pounds. AS
the weights must be sustained for q
length Of time, the feat becomes the
more remarkable. That SO many
years Of service at such taSking labor
has not broken MIN down Berry be-
lieyes is due to the fact that he has
always been regular in his habits,
sleeping long hours and refraining
from drinking. lie claims nothing
for himself az to strength, but along
kearney street and among express
men generally he is considered the
Samson OF the profession. Berry has
never tested his strength to the utter
most, but thinks that with suitable
harness he might lift ton and a
half. Without such aids he would
not care to lift more than 1900
pounds. and would avoid such a lift
If possible.

An Uncomplimentary Doctor.

Hartford girls are renowned for
their beauty. 1t must be admitted
that there are a few plain women in
town, but they were born elsewhere.
One of the latter, who is really pain
fully homely, called on a physician
who is as plain in his speech as his
patient is in respect to her face. He
tried to cheer her; her ailment was a
trifling matter, he said. "Oh, Doc

said O. N. Hapgood to a ST. Louis
Globe Democrat man.
"The Missourian was a big, burly
fellow with four days growth Of
beard and the tan of forty summers
on his face, but his wife was young
and very pretty. The Boston ire
sistihle took seat facing her and
strove in various ways to attract her
attention. The husband caught on
to his capers, and bought a copy of an
illustrated humorous paper, which he
handed him. This amused him for a
time bat he soon resumed his occupa-
ton Of staring at the lady.
"rhen the husband sent him the
morning paper. He read the base
ball news through, readjusted his
cravat, and resumed his old tactics.
The Missourian then invited him into
the smoker to enjoy u Key West with
him. AS they pulled the fragrant
weeds the eXquisite's curiosity crop

had mashed the entire family.

Encouraging Matrimony.

In Norway there is a premium on
marriage by giving married people a
discount. Thus q man and his wife
can travel for fare and half, a
schedule of rates rluch more satisfy
ing to everyone than children half
price" and much more reasonable.
It is suggested that this privilege is
liable to abuse. A prudent man
might prolong his courtship indefi-
nitely at reduced rates. This, how
ever, could be easily prevented by
obliging married people to carry their
certificates about with them, as they
could easily do, in rcd morocco cases,
like communication tickets on rail-
roads.
