FADs OF AMERICAN CITIES.
How the Fashionable People of Each
Section Amuse Themselves.
From the Philadelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record
Chicago, H., May IA local paper
prints a symposium of fads in our prnci-
pal cities, east, west, and south and on
the Pacific slope. # shows at glance
what men and women are doing TO amuse
themselves. The modes differ widely in
different sections.
New Workers are absorbed with the
question of female suffrage at least
that part of the community which is not
absorbed in itself or engaged in running
down Chicago. Baltimore has gone daft
on athletics. In Washington Coxeyism
was only days wonder, and then the
people resumed their fad for cycling,
for which their asphalt pavements pre-
sent unusual advantages.
Philadelphia has taken to coaching in
Its frlgid and proper way. Boston is true
to Ibsen and Browning, and is still
wrestling with THE Dolls House" and
"Sordello' in the vain determination to
unravel their hidden meanings.
The west takes a wider range in it's
pursuits of fads. At Milwaukee ) O o'clock
teas, which are dead as fossils elsewhere,
continue to be the mania, and all who
are not drinking tea at that hour in the
afternoon are drinking beer all day
Cleveland has concentrated itself on
pointed tan shoes. Cincinnati is devoted
TO lawn tennis and cycling, or will be
after its music festival is over this month
Denver scars high, and is studying the
higher development of woman
AT Minneapolis the chafiug dish with
its supplemental dyspeptic horrors is the
center of popular interest. and the Welsh
rabbit hunt is the prevailing form of
amusement Staid old Detroit is anus
ing itself with horses. Bismarck has
caught pedestrianism from the CoXey
armies. Portland has histrionics on the
brain.
Des Moines runs to the clubs. Good
st. Paul, unlike its sister Minneapolis,
has gone into charities. The salt Lake
Mormons are cycling. Albuquerque is
hunting gold, and Tucson's cowboys have
taken violently TO bicycles instead of
bronchoes and mustangs. Cheyenne is
cycling, and poor, giddy old ST. Louis is
doing fancy dancing.
On the Pacific slope San Francisco and
Los Angeles are ponderously considering
the suffrage question. Tacoma, like St
Paul, has taken up charity, and Spokane
is full of bicycles. Louisville is bicycle
ridden, and jacksonville divides the time
between dancing and whist clubs.
No report is presented from Chicago
as it would have been superhuous
Chicago has all the fads, as it has all the
vices and all the virtues. In a word, it
has everything that is going, from the
worst aggregation of baseball tramps eyer
organized up TO the highest manifesto

QUEER BOOKKEEPING.
Tho Primitive, But Accurate heshod Of
Dakota Landlord.

Tho Primitive, But Accurate, heshod Of
Dakota Landlord.
There are more ways of keeping ac-
counts than that which prevails in
business, and which needs ledgers,
cash books and single and double en-
try.
Sometimes, in little country stores,
the proprietors of which know nothing
about bookkeeping, and probably just
as much about figures, the accounts of
customers are kept as correctly as they
could be by graduate of n business
college.
An old resident of Dakota recently
told story illustrative of this primi-
tive, but accurate, method of book
keeping.
"There used" he said, ''to be a man
in Yankton whose system of keeping
accounts was wonderfully efficient.
lie kept a hotel, and he could neither
read nor write. lie did not know how
to spell his own name, but he did
thriving business. and collected every
dollar of his accounts.
"Once, years ago when first came
to this country, l went to his hotel
and stopped there two weeks. When
leIU nc presented me with state
ment of what owed him, and it was
curiosity. He had copied it from his
ledger. At the top of the sheet there
was the rude picture of soldier on
the march, and after it three straight
marks. Then there was a scene show
ing man at table eating. Then APP
pcared bed with man in it. In the
amount column there was picture of
a doll and after it the two letters RS.
After the picture of the man eating
there We're forty-two marks. After
the view of the man in bed there were
fourteen marks. l looked at the ac-
count, then at the proprietor, and told
him it would take me n week to an
swer the conundrum. / was complete
ly stumped, and when that hotel man
deciphered the account for me it was
this:
1.-THE picture of the soldier walking
meant March, and the three marks
supplied the date, March B, when / be-
gan boarding. The man at the table
with forty-two marks indicated that 1
had eaten forty-two meals. The man
in bed with fourteen marks showed
that had slept in the house fourteen
nights. The doll with RS after it
meant dollars, and in the figure col
umns appeared the figures IA, which
was the amount / owed him. And it
was a true bill"
