CATCHING AN eLscralc oAa.
Not 30 Easy ne ~ seems when ~ IL oolns
q Mile n Minute.

mue Minute.
There Ia one elderly gentleman In
Boston who will think long time
before he again boards an electric
car while it Is in motion.
He was standing on fremont
street with nervous glitter in his
eye that showed that he was in a
hurry to get somewhere. Car after
car whizzed by, but they did not
seem to suit the old gentleman's fan
cy, and his glances up the street be-
came more frequent and more apo
plectic.
At last one appeared in the dis
tance that caused the watchers eyes
to brighten. Il was a very hand
some car, with a broad green belt
and yellow dasher True, it was
bounding along at a rate of 60 miles
an hour; but what of that9 The old
gentleman was in hurry, and then
he knew how to get on easy enough.
He had seen lots of people do it. All
you had to do was to wait until the
middle of the car was opposite to
you, and then stretch out one hand
and one foot, grasp the rail, and
there you were. Nothing could be
simpler.
The electric car came bounding
playfully along, and the elderly gen
tleman shifted his weight on to one
foot so as to be ready for it. When
he was opposite to the middle of the
green belt, he leaned a little forward,
stretched out one hand and grasped
the rail as it flew past. Either he
hadn't ascertained correctly how the
thing was done or else he was a tri-
fe slow with the other foot. At any
rate he didn't board the car.
There was terrific jerk, and the
old gentleman found himself stream
ing horizontally behind the car like
a pennant on masthead. After he
had flown for several blocks in this
manner, the elderly gentleman con-
cluded that his position was ridicu-
lous for one of his age, and with a
short mental prayer he let go the
rail. Before he landed he turned
five double somersaults and very
difficult handspring, besides knocking
down three inoffensive passersby.
When he had been restored to con-
sciousness, and his hat and glasses
had been fished out of the snow by
some kindly souls, he sent one mean
ing glance in the direction of the re-
treating car
Some people may call this civil
zation," he said bitterly. but I call
it h"
And disdaining the sympathy of
his rescuers he jammed his snow
covered hat over his eyes and tot
tered feebly in the direction of the
Parker House. Boston Herald.

Postage stamp Amxer.

A cleverly constructed little ma
chine has been designed for the pur-
pose of affixing stamps to letters and
circulars, and by its means the proc
ess can be carried out with extraor-
binary rapidity. The motions of de-
taching, damping and afixing are
all performed by one revolution Of a
small wheel attached to the machine.
From 1000 to 5000 letters an hour
can be stamped, and one of the most
important advantages of the machine
is that it will register the number OF
letters thus treated. Exchange.
