ACCIDENT TO AN OLD LADY.
Her Horse Gets Frightened-She is Throwa
Out and Her Head Cut.

Mrs. Camm, of Fairton, was driving
along South avenue Tuesday afternoon,
in an open spring wagon, when near
Garfield avenue she met a trolley car,
The car stopped while she attempted to
pass. Just as she got opposite the car her
horse SHE'D and leaped on the sidewalk,
upsetting the wagon, throwing Mrs.
Camm and a little boy named Craven
stein out on the ground.
The motorman of the car and Henry
Phillips, passenger, went to Mrs.
Camm's rescue. They caught the horse
and righted the wagon.
A crowd soon gathered, and Mrs. Camm
was picked up bleeding from terrible
scalp wound, She was carried to the
residence of John Gravenstein, her SON
in-law, nearby, and a physician called.
The little boy fell directly under the
horses hoofs, and strange to say the ami
NAL seemed to realize the perilous posi-
ton of the boy, and stood still until he
was pulled out The boy was slightly
injured from his fall.
The injuries to Mrs. Camm are serious.
Besides the cut ON the head which the
doctor was required to sew up, the old
lady is badly bruised about the body.
She is not able to be removed, but is still
at Mr.. Gravenstein's house, where she is
being cared for. She was feeling little
easier this morning

but luckily then, as last night, they were
discovered in time to save an accident.

The Angelus Bird.

When travelling in the forests of Gui-
ana and Paraguay, it is not uncommon
to meet with bird whose music great
ly resembles that of an Angelus bell
when heard from distance. The Span
iards call this singular bird bell ring
er, though it may be still more appro-
priately designated as the Angelus
bird, for, like the Angelus bell, it is
heard three times day, morning, noon
and night. Its song, which defies all
description, consists of sounds like the
strokes of bell, succeeding one an
other every two or three minutes, so
clearly and in such resonant manner
that the listener, if stranger, imag-
ines himself to be near chapel or a
convent, but it turns ont that the for
est is the chapel and the bell bird.
The beauty Of the Angelus bird is
equal to his talent. He is as large as a
jay and as white as snow, besides being
graceful in form and swift in motion.
But the most curious ornament of the
Angelus bird is the tuft of black, arched
feathers ON its beautiful head. 1t is
conical in shape and about inches in
length. Guardian Angel.

The Bad Girls Joke,

This was +he joke of the bad girl of
the school. She was likewise considered
the brightest, but the combination of
the two qualities did not keep her al
ways on the best of terms with the un-
fortunate man whose duty it was to
direct her young mind in the paths of
learning. 1t was on one of those special
occasions when she and the learned in
structor had had difference of opin-
Ion. As to who was to blame there
were two different views. The one IA
vorable to the pupil was held by the
young woman. The instructor did not
divulge his view of matters. But the
wickedest girl in the school was bound
to be revenged. She set her wits at
work, and, going into the schoolroom
where the school was assembled one
morning, the instructor discovered
drawing, more Or less artistic, which
represented the familiar scene of st.
Peter at the gate of paradise.
Before the reverend saint stood soli-
tary man whose features bore an un.
mistakable resemblance to those of the
instructor himself From the saints
mouth proceeded these words, written
in irreverent school girl fashion: "No,
Johnny y"-the instructors name was
John-'I can't let you in. All your
scholars are here. but there is no chance
for you" There was moment of sus-
pense while the twitching lips of the
subject showed an effort at self control,
but it was useless, and, with the whole
school joining in loud chorus, he
broke into hearty laugh. NO." he
said when at last there was pause,
VI should not care to go in. If all my
pupils are there, I should prefer to keep
iway. l have too much of them here. {"

Gold In Rarnato's Body.

A German paper is responsible for
the announcement that Barney Barnato,
still more than the legendary king of
Peru, who was wont to have his body
gilded afresh every morning, deserved
the title of El Dorado-the MAN of
Gold"--not because of his wealth or
OF his connection with gold mines, but
because his system actually secreted
gold. He was, says this credible au-
thority, the victim of disease called
metallitis, his blood being permeated
with powdery gold, as were his eyes,
nose, ears and all of his mucous mem
brane. The pain caused by this condi-
tion was so intolerable that it is be-
lieved to have been the cause of his sui.

Ask bookkeeper what his black

monthly trial balance. Some of you
know what that is, of course, but the
majority of you perhaps do not Let
MS explain briefly. In double entry
bookkeeping, the only kind that de
serves the name of bookkeeping, every
debit must have its credit-that is to
say, every item that is carried to the
debit If one account must be carried to
the c,edrt of another.
Say, for example, you buy bill of
goods from IA merchant. He enters the
amount to your debit on his books and
at the same time credits an account
called merchandise, this account be
ing debited with all the goods brought
into the stock and credited with all the
goods sold from it, When you pay the
bill, you are credited with the amount,
and an account called cash is debit
ed, because it receives the money.
This will explain to the uninitiated
the meaning of the term "double en-
try" and it will also explain why,
after the entries have all been carried

struck thereon, the debts and the cred
its will agree if the books have been
correctly kept. To test the correctness
of his work the bookkeeper takes off
every month trial balance, which
consists simply of the debit balances III
one column and the credit balances in
another. If they foot up the same, the
work has been correctly done. If they
vary, he must look for and find the er-
ror or errors before the next months
business is entered on the ledger
You can readily understand, there
fore, why the trial balance is the book

cases i'll which rifiing errors have elud-
ed the most caresul search for several
days and nights and even for weeks,
torturing the soul of the bookkeeper
almost past endurance. But he has TO
stand it, for the error must be found.
