A Remunerative Field for Young Col
Iege Man.
The Cincinnati Times-Star has found
man who holds the position of agent
for a popular preacher in that city He
was a college graduate and had studied
law. theology, horses, music, the drama,
and had tried the newspapers, all with
out success. Then he made the dis
covery that the preachers were the
hardest pushed of all professional men
fer ideas to incorporate into their SER
mons. The old, old story is all right as
a foundation, but SO many changes have
been rung on it since the year | that it
takes an extraordinary man to conceive
an original view of it.

about town and report to him little in

He is thus enabled to interest every
element in his congregation, appearing
to the sporting man as a sport, to the
athlete as an enthusiast in athletics, to
the musician as a musician and to the
theater-gOer as one well versed in the
plays of the day. | also tell him what

constructed of brick, stone or tiles, and
were ofimmense size. They sometimes
covered the whole side of twenty or
thirty-foot room and often extended out
into the room as much as ten feet, in
which case, the smooth, fiat top was
used for a bedstead, the heated surface
imparting an agreeable feeling of
warmth during those cold nights oflong
ago, when such things as covers were
quite rare. Cardinal Polignac, of
France, was perhaps the first to attempt
the construction of stove fully Of iron;
this at about the beginning of the
Eighteenth Century. The first real i'm
provement over the old Roman "stuba"
was brought about by Franklin in the
year 1745; one of his efforts produced a
typical baseburner, almost perfect, and
a model of workmanship. Stoves were
not used in private houses to any great
extent prior to the year 1880.

Riding and Hitching.

Down in Southern West Virginia the
poor whites still indulge in a mode of
transportation called riding and hitch
ing" The New York Sun says it is re-
sorted to when two travellers find them
selves with only one horse and they are
going too far to ride double" In ''rid-
ING and hitching" one traveller takes
the horse and goes a mile or more,
while the other foots it behind. The
equestrian naturally makes fasterspeed
than the walker. So after he has ridden
his share he dismounts and bitches his
steed to a tree by the roadside and
pushes on afoot. In time the other
walker comes to the hitched animal,
mounts him and rides on until he has
overtaken the first rider and got some
distance in front, when the operation is
repeated. Thus each rides alternately,
and the horse gets a breathing spell.

THE NAUGHTY BANK CLERK.
He Never Corrected Mistakes Because
He Never Made Any, Except Once.

He Never Made ANY, Except once.
"The rule at banks and other estab-
lishments where sums of money are paid
out not to rectify mistakes after the re-
ceiver has left the building is of course
a necessary one," said Walter S. Dale of
porter. "But it is one of those rules of
which no honest man cares to take adj
vantage. Not long ago [ needed some

ton, and going to my bank filled up q

which this was said that 7 walked out Of

$500 short and that | was the only Gus
toner to whom he had given bills Of
that denomination that day.
at was my turn now, and [ reminded
him very coolly of the fact that no mis-
takes were ever rectifed in the irregu-
lar manner he suggested. To punish
him 1 very sternly declined to argue
the point, and l am afraid he must
have spenta very sleepless night. [ re-
turned him his $500 in the morning and
added two or three words of advice,
which he was too delighted to resent.
His manner has been considerably less
sarcastic and smart ever since"

A Judge Who Had No Enemies.

Sir Henry Hawkins, the sporting Judge
of the supreme court of Great Britain,
seems to have been the hero of the an

the fact that it was the jubilee of Sir
Henry's call to the bar In responding
to the toast Sir Henry remarked that

CANARY birds are often covered with
vermin. They may be relieved of them
by placing clean white cloth over their
cage at night. In the morning the cloth
will be covered with minute red spots,
SO small that they can hardly be seen
with the naked eye. These are the
parasites, a source of great annoyance
to the birds.

The Turkish Way.

A former resident of Turkey, hearing
that triplets had been born in a New
York town, asked with interest, "And
what did the government do ?" 1t was
explained to her that as yet neither
the government of the United States
nor that of any state took official notice
of such domestic incidents, whereat she
said with pride: "Ah if it had been in
Turkey there would have been a pen

Compressed Air Experiment.

The Mekarskl compressed air system
of operating street railways will shortly
be introduced in Washington for inves-
tigation. A railroad working on this
system has been in operation in Berne
Switzerland, since October l, 1890. 1t is
about two miles long, and is worked by
a fifty horsepower turbine plant. The
maximum air power pressure in the To-
cOmltlVe reservoir amounts to $50
pounds to the square inch, and the time
required to charge each reservoir is IL
minutes. In the city the speed is re-
duced to seven and one-half miles an
hour, but outside the city speed OF
thirty miles an hour is permitted. The
experiments to be made in Washington
will have much better plant than the
Berne railway.
Temperature of the Hemispheres.
The Southern Hemisphere is colder
than the Northern Hemisphere, or
rather the summers are much colder
and the winters few degrees warmer,
the reason being that atothe north pol e
much of the ice which forms is held in
by the land, while at The south pole,
there being very little land, the ice
forms and then floats toward the equa-
tor, chilling the continents it passes.
The greater quantity of water in the
Southern Hemisphere is a reason of its
more equable climate, and the fact that
the sun spends eight days more on the
northern side of the equator than he
does on the southern accounts for the
average temperature in the south falling
below that at the north.
