We have known of merchants
who allowed their partisan views
to so far outweigh common sense
as to refuse to advertise in papers
that do not pander to their politi-
cal views. Now suppose the Gus
toners of such merchants should
practice the same narrow con-
tracted course-how would the
merchant feel about that?

 The Austrian press, including even the military journal Reiehswehr. has been giving prominence to the alleged invention of a remarkable quick-friug rife, says the London Globe This truly wonderful weapon will in the hands of trained soldier" emit no fewer than 2,700 bullets an hour. or forty-five In one minute. Thus in an engag cement which lasted several hours each soldier could loose off cartload of ammunition, if he had it at his el bow; and an army of 90 GOO men-a mere handful of men as continental armies go-would require 50,000 cart loads with the firing line In one seri- ous engagement For a campaign of invasion each soldier would require to be followed by magazine; and shell exploding in a company would produce as many devastating explosions as there were men. If. on the other hand, each soldier marched with, say his own 200 rounds, he could fire them all in less than five minutes and be left without ammunition for the rest of the engage. ment. Such considerations are. of course. extreme; but they show that the "reductio ad absurdum" of quick firing rifles is easily reached. Even now the difficulty Is to get enough am munition to the firing line and to keep control of the fire. If rapidity Of fire is much increased without some entire Iy new method of bringing up ammu milton the occasional advantage of he- ing able to pour in a deadly hail of bull lets for a minute or two will be dearly purchased at the cost of whole bri- sades perhaps being rendered "hors de combat" for want of ammunition at the beginning of a fight. What applies to rife fire applies also to artillery. and the armies which have been in A hurry to arm themselves with so-caIled quick-firing artillery before the ma chinery was perfect or the ammunition problem solved may find themselves in 8 worse quandary than if they had re- tAined their old weapons.

The first news sheets at ali answer ing 10 our modern newspaper were is sued by order of the Venetian govern mert about 1886. At first they were simply written out and exhibited to public inspection on payment of a small coin called "gazetta, whence the modern term Gazette. Afterward the demand made it necessary to print them. The first English newspaper or which we have positive evidence was the Weekly News, published by Nathaniel Butler in 1922. The English Mercurle of 1888 is a forgery. It was really printed about the middle of the eighteenth century.

The cashier of thriving bank in a big western town was doing the talk ing.
 When I began my career in tho banking business, he said, e.it was in an old established bank in an Ohio city to which my father had been elected president. We didn't live in the town until his election. and moved there when hs took charge. After about six months experience I was made assistant receiving teller. and be- tween that and my youth, and the fact that my father was president, guess l was about four sizes too large for ths. earth. But I got over 1t. and one day when there was 8 lulI and the re- ceiying teller had gone across tho street to look after a check that h0 had taken 1 popped up to the window and took my first lesson. A rough looking old fellow came that I thought was farmer from Hayville. He came straight for me. and said he wanted to deposit some money. It wasn't mY business to undertake a new customer. ONN \ AhCH AL dAit anu buH6h to talk to him. He said that he wanted to deposit cent that day, but had more. We'll l gave him the ha ha then and there, and told him to run around to the Dime Savings bank and become a deposition on the instaliment plan. I also said some more funny things. and after had had all the fuR h AIn4 I ed to deposit only cent that day, ha would put in two cents next day, aud four next, and so on for four weeks I gave him the laugh again, and told him we really couldn't do 8 small busi- ness like that, and he must be & gooA boy and run along to the penny ante bank around the corner Then he won't away, and was still laughing when the receiving teller came back.
 "T told him what was making me smile, and he looked at me kind of funny, I thought, and went to figuring on a sheet of paper without further comment Presently he handed the paper over to me. That old fellow he said, Is a millionaire, whose busI- ness we have been after for a year Those figures will show you that what you consider is a penny ante bank business would have amounted to something over 321O,O0O in the four weeks, or 24 banking days, during which he wished to deposit his money. He's crank, but he's got the cash, all the same, and we want him. Just what effect your able funny business has had upon him I can't say, but suppose you go and talk to your father about 1t, or do you want me to report 1t to the cashier and let him see the president?'
 ''I had cold chills and collapse and lot more things during the next five minutes, and then I mustered up cour- age and went to my father with ths story. He promptly reduced me to the ranks and cut my salary 10 per cent. and I learned a whole lot in the next six months. by which time we had ths old fellow all right. and was made assistant again. but I wasn't the same kind of one by good deal

A Notable Shipment of Percheron Horses.-The following appeared last week in a Chicago paper: Chicago has become a horse market for the Pacific coast.

The animals had to themselves palace" stable car equipped with everything dear 10 equine appetite and comfort. with special attendant to minister to their wants. It is said to be the first time Chicago has been drawn on for such a consignment te domestic destination nearly 2.500 miles away. In anticipation of the new field of traffic the shipment may open, the railroad company has sent along it's right-of-way orders to rush" the car to the coast with all possible dispatch. None of the horses was un- der sixteen hands high, while they tipped the scales at an average weight of 1,750 pounds. They were of the uniform shade of "dapple gray" aud were bred on the prairies of Iowa and Illinois.

Great stamp Collection.

Philatelists will ba interested to learn that the great Tapling collection of postage stamps in the British Mu- scum is now nearly all arranged in sys- tematie order. and will soon be avail able for purposes of comparison aud study. E. D. Bacon. who has been engaged in the work for the last four years, has carefully annotated every issue with the name of the printer and designer, and the date of issue. Ths collection is preserved in very strong iron chest in one of the rooms of the National Library, but when it's ar rangement is finished 1t is probable that some device may bs adopted so that those who wish to consult it can do so without having access to the stamps. Several suggestions to this end have been made. and experiments are being tried with 8 view to adopting the most satisfactory method of giving the public the required facilities, while protecting the stamps from being han died and the deteriorsting effect of light Birmingham (England) Post.
