TWO DOLLARS THE CORRECT SUM.
Easily Borrowed and the Lander seldom
Expects TO lie raid.

Among the great variety of WAYS of
getting a living is borrowing g until
tomorrow. The manner seems at first
blush to be rather precariOuS, but a
writer in the n. Y. HerGId says that if
scientifically pursued it apparently
yields an income sufficiently large to
sustain life and enable its recipient to
keep up many Of the appearances of
responsibility. Why s. should be
come standard sum of exchange i'm
this field is a question for the financial
sharps who can tell all about the
causes of commercial depression. But
who ever heard of "fricnd' striking
you for So? And as for So or :Hi.5),
1t is something preposterous. Next to
the man who wants but 30 cents TO
tide him over the evening, the man
who is in need of 50 takes precedence.
The next man of value is So The
sum of 81 would be Ct no use TO any
body. 1t is 81 that seems to ill long
felt want. For this reason the 8 sill
yer certificates were created.
There is man who has reduced the
scheme of borrowing 81 TO something
akin TO an exact science. Perhaps it
We're invidious to allude to Il single in
dividual in discussing so popular and
widespread an occupation. but it is
merely for the purpose of Illustration.
This example is said to be very
bright and companionablc gentleman
who, did the bent of his mind turn in
that direction, might easily earn a
comfortable living III other walks OF
commercial life. In fact he was earn
ing such an income q year or 50 ago
when. unfortunately, he borrowed -
till tomorrow. 1t was accomplished
SO easily and quickly that he tried it
again, and again was successful. With
the brilliancy of a born linancicr he
saw at once that it was foolish thing
to toll when 81 could be gathered here
and there merely for the asking. He
made another discovery - that no.
body expects s. thus loaned to ever be
returned. Any amount above that re-
quired note of hand, or if not prompt
ly repaid caused trouble and engender-
ed hard feelings.
Having settled on the 81 theory he
threw up his job and has ever since
subsisted on an army of small invest
ors. He knows the pay day of every

he is on hand for his 81 every time.
The employees are taken in turn. Some
of them kick" once in while but as
the financier usually takes them to the
nearest joint and treats them with
their own money he is not altogether
unpopular If the "kick" is strong he
lets them off with fifty cents or per
haps a quarter, and thus lets them in
on cut rate. Sometimes men at
tempt to dodge him. but they find
their retreat cut off at the elevated
station. The loan of s. is usually
made philosophically. 1t is put down
to profit and loss. allowed for wear and
tear, and the thought of it is banished
at least as long as the borrower is
out of sight.

WILL MAKE DEAF EARS HEAR AGAIN.
This IL What Queer Little Instrument
Promises to Do for Humanity.

In one of the big downtown build
ings is the office of young doctor In
the office is strange device which, it
is predicted by the inventor, will af-
ford relief to suffering thousands The
invention is an improved form of the
vibrOmeter, which was invented by
Baltimore physician about year ago.
The vibrOmeter is an instrument for
the cure of tinitus. or in plain English
that horrible Raging or buZzing III the
ears which accompanies partial deaf
ness and which sometimes drives the
sufferer to madness. 1t is also claimed
that the vibrOmeter will afford relief
to victims of Insomnia.
The instrument is made up of
small electric motor, a banjo, and
stethoScope. The banjo is placed right
side up on small stand, fastened by
hinge at the back and a thuIn bscrew
at the neck, by which it can be raised
and lowered. The motor is placed at
one end of the stand and is geared to
shaft. On the end of this is a disk
on which is bolIed plectrum for
striking the strings of the banjo. The
shaft makes about 800 revolutions a
iHlHule. Dul INO SlIIH8S are lclI on
the banjo, one a large bass and the
other fine wire. Only one string is
used at a time.
In treatment the patient is seated at
the stand and the stethoscOpe placed
to the ears, the large end being rested
on the head of the banjo, slightly tilted
up at one side. The motor is now
started and the banjo raised by means
OF the thumbscrew until the plectrum
strikes the string. The higher the
banjo is raised the louder the note
The key of the note is varied by put
ting clamp over the strings at the
various frets. 1t has been found that
certain notes are more effective for
some patients than others. The proper
note for any ear can only be determined
by trial. To the normal ear the sem
satlon is somewhat painful.
Relief is sometimes experienced at
the first treatment, it is claimed. The
average treatment consists of thirty
applications of the vibrometer lasting
from five to fifteen minutes. The action
of the vibrometer corresponds to mas
sage of the muscles. 1t produces
hyper@mia, breaks up anchylosis, or
adhesion of the bones of the ear, and
causes absorption of the thickened
mem branes.- Chicago Tribune.

SOME STORIES OF MIR. LINCOLN.

Senator aud Secretary Seward-or as
his friends generally call him, 1.-The
governor like all good citizens,
went home to vote, and the night be
fore election made it a rule to have a
familiar talk with his neighbors"
The familiar talk was always care
fully prepared and instructive speech
at least his party thought so-which
appeared In the papers all over the
country the next morning. During
the war he usually travelled in a pri-
vate car. often with no company but
his colored servant. Once he invited
the pastor of the First Presbyterian
church in Auburn, Rev. Dr. Hawley,
and three venerable elders of the same
church, to return to Washington with
him as his guests as well as en- route
One of the first things to entertain
his friends was, of course, to take them
to see the president He introduced
them in his formal way, not emitting
in either case the title and the demon
ination to which he belonged. That
''reminded' Mr. Lincoln, and he said:
"When l was young man living in,
a little town in the state of Illinois,
there was but one church in the town,
and that was a Presbyterian There
were a few Uuiversalists in the town.
who once in while held meeting
in a school house. One Sabbath dur
ing the service in the church some
one came up the aisle and handed the
pastor notice, and quickly retired
While the hymn was being sung the
minister looked at the notice. He
had never been asked to give such a
notice before; but by the time the
long hymn was ended he was ready.
He got up and said: Brethren and
sisters, l have been requested to give
notice here to day that set of people
who believe in universal salvation will
hold a meeting next Lords day in the
red school-house in the Northeast dis
trict. But, brethren. we believe bet
ter things" DR.. Hawley told me
the story at the time. and l have never
seen it in print.
Mr.. Seward was an Episcopalian,
and this story is told: On one of the
occasions when President Lincoln's
patience was tried by self-appointed
adviser who got warm and used strong
language, Mr.. Lincoln interrupted
him by saying: You are an Episco-
palian, aren't your and when asked
why he thought so. said: You swear
just like Seward, and he is" That
was Mr.. Lincoln's way of getting rid
of Sucb advisers
All remember the story of Peter
Harvey, who was Bostonian of fine
figure and fine appearance, with
ruffied shirt, who used to go fishing
with Daniel Webster After the
dea'h of that great man, he thought
he could help the president by going
to Washington and telling him what
his friend, Mr.. Webster. would do
under certain circumstances. He got
an audience-as anybody could-with
Mr.. Lincoln, and in the midst of his
talk the president interrupted him by
slapping him on the leg and saying:
Mr.. Harvey, your leg is a great
deal larger then mine"
