Where Little Things Count.

Bookkeeping has been reduced to
such an exact science in the big
metropolitan banks that the clerks are
expected to strike correct balance at
the close OF each days work, no mat
ter if the transactions run into the
millions of dollars. When the books
fs il to balance, the whole force of the
bank is put to work to discover the err
ROT, and no clerk star Is for bone until
it is discovered, whether it amour ts to
two cents or $4,000. Generally a quart
ter of an hour will bring the mists Ike
to light, but sometimes the hunt is
kept up until late into the night.
Such q search was being conducted
in New York bank located in the
vicinity of Wall street. Forty-fve
cents we're missing. AT six O'Clock
discovered. Dinner was sent in for the
whole force from an adjoining res
taurant, and after half an hours rest
the search was aRaio taken up. Mid
night came but still no clew, so
sandwiches and coffee were served.
"Hello!" said a clerk. 1.-THE Blank
National people are working tonight
too. Guess they in the same box -
Sure enough, the windows Of the
bank across the street were brilliantly
lighted. The incident was soon for
SOGUCh WdCu uuS 6lU0F
that elusive forty-fve cents was re-
sumed. Shortly after one O'Clock in
the morning, as they were about to
give up for the night, q loud rappip g
was heard at the front door of the
bank.
''Hello! Hello! What's the matter?''
called the cashier through the key
tole.
Matter, you chumps. Why, we've
got your blamed old forty five cents
Come along home to bedu'
Outside stood the crowd of clerks
from the height oring bank. 1t ap-
pesred that, in making u cash trans
action, one of the banks had paid the
other forty-tive cents too much. AS a
result half a hundred men had worked
for nine hours, and the search was only
ended then because bright clerk,
noticing the light in the bank opposite,
shrewcly guessed the cause, hunted up
the cash snip, and discovered the error.

Pats Score OH the ParsOn.

A gooi-natured Anglican parson was
riding one day in a jaunting car near
the lakes of Killarney, whose famous
echoes sometimes repeat a sound as
many as eight times. Wishing to
''take rise out of the driver" the
clergyman said:
do you know, Pat, that there are
none but Protestant echoes here?"
mo sir, L niver b ard it, and 1 dom,
believe it, aither," was the re.
ply.
'Well you shall hear itsvery soon'
said the Anglican. Arriving at favor.
able spot he called out softly, raising
his voice to loud pitch on the last
word: "Do you believe in Pho Nono?'
and the echo replied:
mo, no! No, no! No, no!''.
Pat was delighted at the joke. aud,
rubbing his hands gleefully said:
''Bedad, whin l drive one of the raal
clargy here won't have the sport out
of him?" And the parson rather
doubted the success of his ruse.-Catho

The Creeping of Rails.

1t is sometimes difficult to determine
the causes for the creeping of rails. A
d placement of the track, will, in
some cases, be due to expansion by
heat. But the creeping is caused prin-
cipally by the load. The brake effects
are, as rule, easily distipguishable.
The uneven running of the wheels is
clearly to be seen at sharp curves.
The Influence of the passage of iains
over the joints on the creeping of the
rails is shown by the fact that rails
with lap joints creep less than rails
with butt joint is on a superstr ucture of
the same kind. Increasing speed, by
putting larger number of express
trains on heavy grades, has not in
creased the creeping. There may be a
connection between this fact and the
observation that smooth running cars,
at speeds of more than ninety kilo-
meters sixty miles,, pass over Or
binary butt joints with scarcely any
shock. At high speeds there is not
time for the wheels to sink in at the
joints.
In order to put a stop to the creep
ing, use must be made of the load on
the track, which, in the first place,
was the cause of the creeping. Since
the Introduction of fish plates, which
fasten the rails firmly to the ties at the
joints, the creeping has diminished.
But under some circumstances the re-
sistance of the two ties at the joints
does not prevent displacements.
These ties move with the creeping
rails, while the intermediate ties re-
main fixed; and so more ties should be
firmly fastened to the rails. The var
ious angles used for this purpose have
answered very we'll, provided that they
are bolted to the rail and firmly grasp
the tie 1t has been found that long
angles which fasten two of the inter-
mediate ties together to the rail are
even better than angles on single ties.
Varying with the length of rail and
the degree of creeping, one to three
pairs Of ties, besides the joint ties, must
be connected to the rail.

We are told that the comic actors of

though it can never have but one
meaning. Tie mother of the late
Allen Thornpike Rice, long the well
know n editor of the North America
Review, found occasion for a series OF
vocal lessons on that word, in his early
life for which he was always CRATE
full.
When school boy he had a weak
ness for making sudden friendship, and,
naturally, some of his ha ty intimacies
were unlikely to be one of any moral
advantage to him. His talented moth
er did not trust every thing to his gen.
eral knowledge of right and wrong, but
sought by an original and pleasant
method to strengthen him where. he
WAS weakest.
She practiced him with a list of diff
ferent que< tiOcs that required no for
an answer, until she had taught him to
infect the syllable according to the
sen timent.
Ali the range of negatives came into

jection, and he learned oil the proper

IF HE WAS PRESIDENT.-When the

TWO LITTLE PRIZES.

Key West, May Go a. m. This morn
ing two little prizes were brought in.
They were both Spanish fishing sohooners
of no great value, the Oriente and the
Antonio Suarez. The Oriente was
captured by the gunboat Helena off Ha-
vana yesterday. She was bound from
Yucatan for Havana with cargo of dried
fish. The Antonio Suares was captured
by the despatch boat Uncas off Boca
Cieja, near Havana.
/ Ii is supposed she was signalling in
formation to q French steamer as to
where she could land without interference
from the blockading fleet.
The fishing SCHOONER Oriente, it ap-
peared later in tho day was captured by
the United States gunboat Vicksburg,
Commander A. B. II. Lille, and not by
the Helena. Signal Officer j. ]. Byrne
was placed in charge of the prize crew.
The captain of the spaniard became fran
tic when he learned his vessel was
captured He raved. tore his hair, butted
his head against the side of his vessel and
made several attempts to jump overheard.
He had to be placed under restraint before
he finally became aim.
