HOW SHE DID 1T.
Girl Cashiers Mind Reading Methods Of
Making Change.


Making Change.
The girl cashier of Madison street
restaurant was for three weeks believed
by one of the customers to be lineal
descendant Of Morgan lie Fay and to
have some of the family traits of Heller,
the second sight magician, for she
seemed to know by intuition or instinct
or something else what was the price of
the meal he had consumed and also just
the amount Of money in his hand when
he approached to pay. He first noticed
that when he presented 35 cent check
she Immediately laid upon the rubber
mat dime and nickel which she had
been holding for change.
''How," this man inquired of him
self, "did she know that 3 cents would
be the correct change? There was no
earthly way for her to tell what money
was going to offer her either. How
did she come to have the exact change
ready without second s delay or with
out having to 60 to the cash register for
it?' He could not answer to his own
satisfaction.
The next day he bought 45 cent
meal, and she promptly laid q nickle
before him, the 5 cent piece being the
only coin she held in her hand. It was
the correct amount, as he gave her a
half dollar. He experimental several
times afterward and at last appealed to
her for information.
"Why," she said, didn't you ever
notice the tint Of your check?' When 1
see you coming 20 feet away, know
by the slate colored check that you have
eaten 20 cents worth. If you have
red ticket, that warns me that you want
to pay for a two bit meal. A blue one
means 80 cents. This yellow one is, of
course, for 40 cents. The amount is
printed upon the check, but the color
is my warning. -
"Yes," said the other, somewhat re-
lieved, "tbat seems easy. But still my
money is Rot of different colors. How
do you know what change to have
ready? That's mind reading, sure
mot at all. When you come with
quarter ticket, you will usually give me
the exact change or half a dollar. I
have quarter ready for you in my left
hand in case you give me half. Sup
pose your ticket is So cent one; you'll
either give mo the correct amount or a
half dollar-or perhaps dollar. With
Is cents in enc hand and so cents in
the other I'm ready for any demonstra-
ton almost. chicago Record.

Takes His Own Medicine.

In Baluchistan when the physician
gives dose he is expected to partake
of similar one himself as guarantee

die under his hands the relatives
though they rarely exercise it-have the
right of putting him to death, unless a
special agreement has been made free
ing him from all responsibility as to
consequences, while if they should de-
eide upon immolating him he is fully
expected to yield to his fate like man.

Three Hundred People Killed on St. Vim
Three Hundred People Killed on st. Vim
cent Island-20, 900 Injured Complete
Destruction Of All Provisions and
the Survivors Are Starving.

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. l6.-The
hurricane of Sunday was undoubtedly
the worst visitation of the kind ever ex-
perienced by the West Indies during the
present century. The hurricane swept
along the island chain, from Barbados
westward to st. Vincent, thence north
west to st. Kits. where it was last
heard of.
Barbados suffered mostly from the
rain which destroyed crops and roads,
as it did at st. Lucia and other islands,
while the center of the storm swept over
St. Vincent and Guadaloupe. Details
received from st. Vincent show an un-
paralleled destruction of life and prop
erty. ....
Out of a population of Al, 900, 300 were
killed and 10000 injured and rendered
homeless. Besides, owing to the COM
plete destruction of provisions, they are
all starving. The island has been abSo-
lutely Quilted by wind and floods from
the mountains, in addition to the waves
along the coast. There has been Il
great loss OF shipping along the track of
the cyclone.
Relief funds are being raised in re-
sponse to an appeal of the governor of
st. Vincent, where all description of
food, clothing and other neccessaries
were lost in the general destruction.
The demand for building material is un-
limited. No details of the work of the
hurricane have been received from
Guadaloupe.

CALCULATING PUERTO RICO.
Spanish Troops Leaving 0utposts for sar
Juan Waiting for Transports to Garry
Soldiers to Spain.

San Juan. Puerto Rico, Sept. l5.-At
a meeting today, the Spanish cvacisa
tion commissioners agreed to begin for
NAL withdrawal of their lines within two
days. They will cvacuate Larcs. San
Sebastian, Agualdilla, in the northwest
of the island, withdrawing towards the
capital. Under the armisticc. they
could not withdraw outposts without
permission.
Detachmcnts of the llth infantry will
occupy this territory and raise the
American flag. The abandonment of
other outposts will rapidly follow. The
Spanish commissioners understand per-
fectly that the evacuation of the
islands must be in accordance with the
terms of the PROTOCOL so soon as trans
ports can be secured. Transports from
the fever infected parts of Cuba can not,
they say, be used to convey uninfected
troops from Puerto Rico The troops
from Cuba and Puerto Rico are to be
landed at different ports in Spain. The
Spanish authorities here can not con.
troll the transports in this respect. They
must await the pleasure OF Madrid. Our
commissioner realize the force of this
argument and are willing to make
reasonable concessions.
