A Man Who Could Keep His Temper.

"a man may be pretty smart III greaf
many things but it isn't everybody that
knows how TO hold his temper, remarked
Clarke Warren of New Orleans at the
Lindell yesterday. Il saw very ODD
case down in Mississippi last week. II
was in railroad restaurant. y young
lawyer. mammoth fellow physically
had some words with colored waiter
The negro was very abusive, and at one
stage of the quarrel pulled gun. We
all thought that that meant death for
one or the other of them, but no; the
lawyer did not seem bit worried and
some bystanders took the gun from the
waiter. The latter then followed the
young fellow out to the platform and re-
newed his abuse and demands for salts
faction. The rest of us We're dumfound.
ed at the action of the lawyer. lie was
evidently no coward, and it was just as
evident that he was more than u match
for the waiter.
FINALLY the negro struck at him
merely knocking his hat off. Then some
one hustled him away. After he was
gone somebody spoke to the young fel
low about it, and he said it would b,
poor policy for him to disgrace his fam
lily by becoming murderer, and that i
would be just as disgraceful for him tt
engage in "a fist fight. Another thing, i
would do that waiter good to be laugh
a lesson. and on his return he would
have him arrested and sent to prison fol
a year or so. That man knew how t.
keep his temper, and guess, after all, h
took the right view of the matter. st

In a large cage in the Philadelphia
zoo were kept at one time about 20 mon
keys. Among them were two big, wiar
looking apes with gray boards and hair
and with the mien of stoics. They had
very long, straight tails, and habit OF
sitting high up from the ground and al
lowing their tails to hang at full length
In the same cage We're three or four brow
cebus monkeys, who were much devoteI
to exercise and fun.
While the big monkeys would cling to
the side of the cage or sit on a perez
some 10 or IL feet from the ground one
of the little brown monkeys wouia
stealthily creep up to one of them and
suddenly grasp the end of the long tail
and swing with all its might. OF course
the "big un" could not lift his tail be.
cause of the weig 1T If the little monkey
clinging to it. He could only climb down
the side of the cage with his burden un.
til he could reach the floor.
During this operation the brown mon
key kept swinging until his own tai
touched the floor, at which instant he
would release his hold and spring to the
top of the cage, followed by the outraged
monkey amid the screams of the others.
By the time he had reached poin
where he could attack his little tor
mentor, who would show some signs o
resistance and cause him to pause for ;

LOST AND SPOILED MONEY.
The Bank OF England Makes n Big Profit
on Her Notes,


Bank notes of the value of thousands
of pounds are annually lost or destroyed
by accident In the 40 years between
l19s and 1882 there were outstanding
notes Of the Bank of England, presumed
to have been either lost or destroyed,
amounting to 81, $50, 600 odd, every
shilling of which was clear profit to the
bank
In many instances, however, it is pos
sible to recover the amount Of the note
from the bank III full. Notice has to be
given to the bank of the note supposed
to re lost or stolen, together with a
small fee and full narrative as to how
the loss occurred. The note is then
"stopped" -that is, if the document
should be presented for payment, tho
person stopping" the note is informed
when and to whom it is paid. If pre-
scented, after having been stopped,
by any suspicious looking person, and
not through banker, one of the detect
ives always in attendance ut the bank
would be called to question the person
| as to how and when the note came into
| his or her possession. 1t is quite a mis-
taken idea that stopped payment" of a
bank note has the effect supposed by
very many people. 1t simply means that
| the Bank of England carefully keeps a
| lookout for the note which has been
stopped, and, though it cannot rel use
to pay such note Immediately on its be-
ing presented, notification would at
once be made to the person who stopped
it, and the bank would give all the as
sistance i'll its power to enable the loser
to recover the amount
In the case of bank note having
been, say, burned by mistake, if the
number is known and notice sent to the
Bank Of England it will pay the amount
after an interval of five years from the
date of lodging notice Of destruction
should no one have presented the note
for payment in the meantime. The bank
in such cases also insists on a guarantee
being given by "a banker or two house
holders that it shall be repaid in the
event of the document turning up and
being again rendered for payment. 1t Is
not at all an unusual circumstance for
mutilated note to be presented fCI
payment, burned perhaps half through,
with marks Of burning on the fringes.
Nor is the damage always accidental.
The men who indulge i'll the luxury Of
lighting their pipes with a bank note
are not always, as some may think
millionaires or recognized lunatics Of
society. The spoiled notes are more Otter
than not presented by workmen or la
borers, who confess without hesitation
that they have Intentionally Lighted
their pipes with them from mere brag
