London and Philadelphia Alike In Thll

Harrison tells Of an American calling
upon a lady IN London and finding her
seated in big chair by the window en-
gagged in some sort of Beedlework. A
young man CAME in and paid his re-
spects. as j. was her day at home, and
then bowed himself ont. Three years
later the American was again in Lon
don. and again he called upon the lady.
1t was her day at home, and there she
sat in tho same chair by the came win

QUEER FINANCIAL METHODS.
How the Daily Routine of Banking Is Con
Quoted In Marseilles.


We had to make our way through
crowd occupying large room or small
hall in which business was conducted.
This ball was filled with people, some
of whom were there to look after their
own or other peoples affairs, and others
of whom had obviously dropped in for a
casual chat. Almost all were smoking
cigarettes, an amusement which they
shared with good many of the bank
clerks. When we had got through this
crowd, my friend and host presented his
check at a guichet. The man behind the
guichet gave him a metal disk stamped
with a number. Armed with this, my
friend made his way to another guichet,
behind which stood not clerk, but an
ordinary porter wearing the livery of
the bank. This porter had his hands
full of similar metal disks. After
weary waiting he called out the number
say. 3O2-on my friends disk.
Then my friend advanced, identifying
his check by another number obtained
at the first guichet, and then received
his money, not in the currency or form
which he wished for, but in such shape
as the porter had at hand to dispense
from the authorities above him. Then,
some of the notes being only locally ne
gotiable, my friend had to go to a third
guichet to see if they could be changed
into negotiable notes. On occasions this
is impossible, and the unfortunate
holder Of the check has either to leave
part of the money he has come for until
a favorable opportunity or accept what
he can get ON the chance of paying II
away or getting it changed or both with
some Of his tradespeople. Beyond this
there is no clearing house system. Each
bank makes charge for cashing a check
on another bank, and these charges
practically swallow up the tiny amount
of interest nominally allowed on con.
slant balance. And this is how the daily
routine of banking is conducted in the
first bank Of Marseilles. --Longman E

PERPETUAL MoTloN MACHINES
The Ever battling. Never EndiEg search
For such Mechanical Contrivances.

The Ever Failing, Never EndiCg search
For such Mechanical Consrivances.
Closely allied to the periodically re-
curring claims for the production Of per-
petnal motion are the class OF exhibit
tions which have been profitable 10 their
inventors by organizing companies
through active promoters, upon evil
tience. for instance. that few drops Of
water can produce a pressure Of 10000
pounds per square inch, as though this
was tantamount 70 the performance of a
useful amount of work.
Again, there is the line Of pseudo ex-
Pronunciation, based upon the oft re
peated assertion that harmony Of sound
can set up such motion as to produce
large mechanical effects. such as the
rotation of machines, or act with ex-
plosive power in guns All such devices
may properly be considered as perpetual
motion machines, for in such cases the
power manifested is much greater than
that required for its initiation, and il
must follow that the machine, after
supplying itself with such initiatory
excitement, will have much surplus en-
ergy left over for useful purposes, if the
facts are as stated. In fact, such surplus
energy has been looked for by the pro-
moters. but has not yet so far revealed
itself as to render feasible the construc-
tion Of machines of practical use and
commercial value.
The means to carry on exhibitions of
such reputed inventions are obtained
from widely scattered sources. Gener-
ally those who have furnished the capt.
tai are not interested in the exposure Of
the frauds or do not realize that advan-
tage is being taken of their oredulity,
while those who are not pecuniarily in
terested are afforded no opportunity TO
prove the correctness of their aSsumn-
ton as TO the fraudulent nature of the
display. The floating Of such schemes is
much too easy, as the ordinary tendency
of the human mind is TO freely believe
that remarkable results may be obtained
from modern scientific methods, This
faith leads many to venture at least
small investments, in the hope that
large returns will be realized, and l fear
this tendency will continue to exist as
long as faith without reason is domi-
nant in many minds. Professor Cole
man Sellers in CASTER Magazine

Bride and Groom Deaf and Dumb.

A curious wedding took place at
RomfOrd Abbey church, England, re-
Gently, both parties being deaf and
dumb. A deaf and dumb clergyman
was expected 10 oficiate, but he was
prevented by illness from attending.
This caused little anxiety to the
couple, and a search was made for a
lawyer to give advice. so that the con-
tract might be perfectly valid, but one
could not be found. However, a
clergyman, with the assistance Of the
brides brother, who acted as inter-
prefer. proceeded with the ceremony.
Prayer books were placed in the
hands of the bride and bridegroom,
and each made signs by pointing as
the passages were read. Then when
responses were required to the ques-
tons the parts were submitted in
writing, and read and duly signed and
witnessed. These documents will be
kept in the abbey as mementOes Of
the wedding.

MY cOMRADE.

THERE'S memory growing deeper
AS the ruthless years go by
OF silent, nsmeless sleeper
Who was not afraid TO die,
And his martyred face shines ever
Through the gloom that wraps the river
All, death cannot discover
That battle welded tie
No sword his hand was wavin-,
No strap his shoulder graced,
When his strong soul was braviny
The conflicts fiery waste
But he clutched his muSket Ii 'htly.
And lis bayonet glinted brightly,
And us foot was firm and spri ghtly,
As the line went on swift-paced.
When the srlphurous smoke clouds drifted
Along the stricken field.
By luminous breathngs lifted
AS thunderous voices pealed-
Where death was win;ed with lightning,
Was sped with tgmult frightening
Was pent with horrors heightening,
Forward the good line reeled
They trembled-but undaunted,
Held on that ptilesS way:
Up to the guns they faunred
Their tattered flags that day.
But where the swath was deadly,
In that raging roaring medley.
His blue all spotted reGiy.
Ny own brave comrade lay
No praise for him is craven
On q granite proud and high,
Who could not be craven,
Who did not fear TO die!
His sleep is with that hundred
Who fell where volleys Numbered,
While the nation wept and wondered
And none recall-but
Yet as the years grow older,
Forgotten though the name,
Shall brighter grow, and bolder
The record of his fame
What though a tardy payment
Ye grud ,e the martyr claimant,
His soul in shining raiment
Its heritage shall claiml

LITERARY NOTES.

A publication that has won an enyi-
able recognition among ladies in all
walks of life, is that inestimable and
withal popolar Ladies Home Journal
Its ascendency to the top pinnacle in
literary circles is due to the fact of its
proficient editorial management, who
is none other than Edward w. Box,
one of the brightest and most popular
characters for the work he has so sue
cessfully mastered in the United States.
His ideas seem to harmonic to nice.
ty with the many admiring readers
and his associates upon the staff in
clude writer's whose names have be-
come exceedingly popular around the
home fire side and circle. The Ladies
Home Journal for the coming year
promises its readers many happy sur
prises, and judging by the character
of its authors already engaged, sub
scribers will feast upon the cream in
literary channels for the coming year
ct least Among the more famous who
have been engaged to contribute to
this popular paper might be mentioned
such favorites as Jerome X. Jerome,
Bret Hart, Frank R. Stockton, Mrs.
Burton Harrison, Jessie Bartlett Davis.
Conan Doyle, Kate Greenway, Palmer
Cox and many others equally as efic-
lent in point. of knowledge and ability
to please and entertain. Lady lovers
of something truly divine in literary
reading will miss it in not subscribing
for the coming year
The higher class of literary papers
and magazines for 1895 fairly TEEN
with interesting matter The writer's
seem to WELD more magical pens than
ever before, and those of illustrated
character fairly glisten with their mir
rors of subjects that the classical
scholar goes into ecestacies over.
Among the many publications that
can be classed as superb is none other
shan that gem of thought, Outing. Its
handsomely printed pages are subjects
of great merit and no little credit is
due the publishers for their untiring
energies in the selection of such SUBJ
iects as tend to please and instruct.
No home is complete without copy of
Outing. 1t is enjoyed by both old and
young. Its January number opens
with poem charmingly fitted for the
occasion, entitled king Skate" fol-
lowing which is beautifully wri item
and handsomely illustrated story
Winning a Christmas Bride" This
alone is worth the subscription price
for one year to Outing.
The January number of McClure's
Magazine is full of Renaissance of
famous men and women, sandwiched
with well written pen sketches of his
torical productions This is one of the
few magazines which delve into the his
tory Of the more notable events of the
past, thus afording its readers valu-
able review of something not found in
other publications of similar character.
1t is in fact an encyclopedia in that it
dwells more particularly upon subjects
that call for thought and careful study,
giving facts and figures which to OBJ
tain takes time and money Nearly
every article is appropriately illustrat-
ed, thus giving the reader an oppor.
tunity to view the panorama Of inter.
esting points as he passes along.
