some big ginmill. Both must see that
she cash is kept straight, and this is the
function, too. that must be fulfilled by
the bank cashier who draws his thou
sands yearly for the work, the cashier
of the big dry goods house who makes
change for hundred statesmen and wo-
men, and the pretty girl who takes your
5 cent check when you buy glass of
soda water and with her slender fingers
gives you back two dimes in place of a
quarter.
The pretty girl cashier is a modern
invention. She is an end of the century
evolution, and, as the writer under
stands it, very successful one. Who it
was that first devised the scheme of put
ting women at the work of changing
money no one knows, but now, if we
except the ginmills and the banks, where
women cashiers have not yet found a
place, there are at least three women to
two men in every town in this fair land
who count up cash and make change
and in this way earn their bread.
1t is more than probable that the first
woman cashier was engaged because she
was willing to work for less money than
the man whose place she took. This
was natural, for the men require more
money than their sisters. Crusty bach
elors, stingy husbands and close listed
fathers to the contrary Notwithstanding,
the average man expends for things that
he might do without if he could only
see it so, twice as much as the average
woman, ''new, independent, self sup
porting, OF of the old fashioned, less ag-
gressive type. For instance, in spite of
the wise and knowing paragraphs in the
papers, few indeed among the women
smoke. Among the men few do not,
and this item of itself is big enough to
make material difference between the
wages at which a woman and man
can afford to work.
The lower wages demanded by women
for the same work undoubtedly held
them in. Because demands upon their
means were less they were not so often
tempted to be careless as to the meaning
of the little words mine" and chime, .
and it was soon found by employers
that cash was not nearly so likely to
stick to the fingers of the girls as it had
been to adhere to those of the men. It
is true that women cashiers have been
known to steal, but the instances
have been SO rare as to be in the nature
of phenomena, and this can hardly be
said of the men cashiers, as every one
knows. Besides girls are quicker with
the cash, and the combination of lower
wages, great honesty and exceeding deft-
ness was naturally irresistible. as, in
fact, the attributes of pretty girls al
ways are, and the men cashiers have
had to retreat before their onslaught,
slowly, it is true, but none the less GER
tainly. Now there is no telling how soon

COUNTING THE SHELLS.

f'the number of threescore and ten, and
of my loose shells a heap that should
not be less, when counted, than a score
of scores. These I must count before
sleep, and afterward l must string
them. 1t is a weary task, this counting
Shells he unused, as, with stiffened
hands, he piled them into little heaps
of five and then grouped these in scores
of four piles each. ''But infinitely worse
it is to put them on the strings.
No more he talked as he performed his
task, though ere it was accomplished
he had broken half a score of shells.
Next day he sent to a young man he
knew who had slim hands and bright
eye and was by all who knew him
counted honest as the day.
"See," said the merchant to the
youth; s'for counting all the shells men
pay to me for goods each day, and string
ing them as we'll l will, each fourth
week, pay to thee a score of strings, and
then, besides, within my tent thou shalt
lie down at night, and of the food that
l shall eat thou shalt eat -
And in this way, though have seen
no record of the thing, no doubt the
first cashier was set to work. The scheme
was good, and afterward it was adopted
far and near, and on the sculptured
tablets of the cities of the long, dead
past, that once rose stately in the valley
of the Nile, and craven on the bricks
of Nineveh, are records of the counting
of the gold and silver coin that then had
come to be employed in place of shells.
And it was so that some of the young
men that counted money in those days
became affected curiously. So much of
coin passed through their hands that
frequently their fingers grew to be like
birds claws, crooked and clinging, so
that portions of the coin remained in
them and were not placed in the great,
strong treasure chests that in those days
were used instead of freproof, drill
proof safes. And one cashier, whose
hands had counted scores on scores of
coins, was caught, redhanded, SO to
speak, as. standing by the race track
just outside q city's walls, he wagered
all he had upon an elephant, whose
owner put him up to race against q
horse. This luckless chap was taken to
the execution place, where, with a keen
sword, he was beheaded as a warning
to all others in the town who counted
cash for bread.
That night another one, to whose
hands coin had stuck, arose and fed to
far land, and all the merchants in the
place looked up their cash, when it was
found that many more had stolen coin.
And men invented then the phrase
crime wave" because they thought
that evil. done by one, begat in other
men the impulse to do wrong. Yet, had
they thought the matter out, they would
have seen that all along the steaings
had gone on, although in truth they
were found out all in lump. There
was a "wave'' indeed, but twas of
wakefulness, not crime.
Possibly this may be bit fanciful,
and yet it could not have been long aft
er the Introduction of circulating me-
dunn and the downfall of the barter
system that cashiers were found neces-
sary. Today the cashier is as useful as
the salesman, or the bookkeeper, or any
other absolutely necessary functionary
