where they carry on the business that L

met with two Illustrations of this sort
of thing that seemed to me to be rather
curious as we'll as interesting.
Talking with a New York paint
manufacturer about paint Of certain
kind, the paint man said incidentally.
that he had seen paint of that color on
walls in Pompeii. Oddly enough, the
other curious illustration arose out Of
the same ancient city. A New Yorker
engaged In the manufacture of lead
pipe said, incidentally to something
that he was telling me about lead pipe:
that he had found in Pompeii lead pipe
In fair condition. this pipe, while COW

gathered upon it in the long time it had
been buried. yet cutting with as bright
and perfect a cleavage as though it had

centuries ago.

Quick Wlffed-

at was simply an exhibition Of nerve
and quick wit" said the old banker
who was dining at his club with q
number of friends. mo one but the
paying teller knew what was happer-
ing at the time. and what might have
been tragedy was turned into q COM
edy by his quick wit.
During the noon hour one day an
old man approached the paying teller
and presented a check for $1,000, 900.
With it was a badly written letter to
the effect that If the immediate pay
ment of the check was not forthcoming
the teller would have his head blown
off. He was nothing but a crank, but
he had come armed for business, and If
the wit Of the paying teller had failed
him for an instant there might have
been tragedy. But the paying teller
coolly took up the check. glanced at it
and then handed 1t back with the re-
mark that the crank had neglected to
put stamp upon It In an instant the
crank was full of apologies at his over
sight and departed to get a stamp. 1t
took but a moment to notify the police.
and the crank was put where there is
no danger of his demanding the pay
ment of any more $1,000. .OCO checks at

He Believed the Sign.

1t was newly opened furnishing

with neckties and cravats of glorious
brilliancy. Confidently they announced
in gilt letters. ANY article removed

bright pink and green shot with pea
cock blue in the front row. the polite
salesman disarranged the front and
after some considerable trouble brought
out the desired object
Rather loud, isn't itT' remarked
Smithson.

TeIeErnphers' Grip.

nave lost my grip.
This phrase is applied by men to all
kinds of failures. One of the technical
usages of losing ones grip is in the
case of telegraph operators
Many of the most skilled operators
suffer at times from less Of the grip
and are compelled to give way tempo
rarily to a substitute. This grip is
the hold on the key, and the moment
the operator begins to lose the control
of this grip" he realizes a rest, al
though for only a brief time, is due
him.
Another but unpleasant term applied
to this loss of grip" Is ''telegraphers'
paralysis" 1t shows itself in many
curious ways. all showing that the
muscles brought into play in working
the key are badly worn.
One of the most skillful operators in
Louisville. who is subject to these at
tacks, cannot send "P." The Morse
manual calls for five dots for this let
ter. The operator in question has by
some hook or crook lost the power to
stop at the fifth dot, and 1t is a COM
mon thing for him to warn the taker to
look out for his ''P's."
Recently he asked a fellow operator
to watch him send "P's" and to stop
him at the end of the fifth dot 1t re-
suited that. although he would be
warned at the fourth dot, the fingers.
no longer mastered by the brain, would
continue dotting beyond the fifth

~Do you see that man with the dark
mustacheg'' said Sherlock Holmes, Jr.
''Yes. Do you know himT'
eT never saw him before. He Is mar
ried. He ought to live in a fat. but
doesn't. His wife is afraid of the
hired girl, and he is left handed"
'Mr. Holmes. you are an everlasting
marvel How can you tell that about n
man you don't know and whom you
never saw before|
Look at the second knuckle on his
left hand. You see, it is badly skinned.
Also there is black mark on his left
cuff. Now let US see what we must
make of this, When a left handed man
pokes up the furnace fire, how does he
do it? By putting his left hand for
ward, of course. Thus 1t happened
that it was his left hand which scraped
against the furnace door. The black
ened cuff shows that 1t was furnace
door. Having this foundation to work
upon, the rest is easy. If he lived in a
fat, he would have no furnace to look
after, and if his wife were not afraid
OF the hired girl they would make the
latter do the poking up. 1t is all very
simple If ones perceptie faculties are
properly trained. He can't really af-
ford TO live in a house, because if he
could he would have a man to look aft
er the furnace. Therefore he ought to
live in fat
But hold on. How do you know the
man is married? He can't be over 30
at the most. Why may it not be possi-
BILE that he lives at home with his wild
owed mother?'
''AIy dear SIR" said Sherlock Holmes,
Jr., Il am surprised at your lack of
perspicacity. If he lived at home with
his widowed mother, he would permit
her to tend to the furnace herself

A Round Robin Remedy.

When a doctor of 30 years practice
encounters a new experience, it must
be worth relating. This is from a ply
sician on Lafayette avenue who has
fought disease for the period named.

on in front of the Office. He then left
the team with his daughter, ignored
the bell and pounded Justify on the
door. l answered in person because I
thought he and my office girl might
get into an argument, for he looked
just like man who would insist upon
seeing the doc at once.

An Ant Au.yrer

The dangers associated with the fish,
Ing industry on the Newfoundland
banks are many and grave. Foremost
among them is that the dories may be
upset while fishing. which involves the
almost inevitable loss Of their occu-
pants. Callous captains, secure them
selves from the necessity of going. fire.
quently order their men out when the
weather does not warrant 1t, and disas-
trous are the result. One of these bru-
tai shippers was aptly answered last
year by bank man Of whose courage
or capacity there was no question.
"Out with your shouted the captain,
Hurry up there! It's a fishing day."
"Oh, no, skipper" replied the dory
man. ITS too stormy today for boat
to fish,"
Nonsense, man." rejoined the skip
per. "If my old grandmother from.
Provincetown was here today, she'd
get her dory out"
'"'Then. skipper" said the man, s"if
her grandson will come out with me
now I'll haul my trawl."
1t is needless to say no dories were

date.-Philadelphia Ledger.

There is no place where bad taste be-
trays itself so quickly as in the arrange
ment of table. 1t is usually evident,
when it exists, in the ornaments. Ill as
sorted nosegays and bouquets Of artif-
cial flowers are clearly out of place. But
family plate, whether carved, chased or
plain, is always proper on a table on
any occasion. In dessert service, rich,
handsomely designed cut glass is appro-
pirate. Foliage and moss, in which fruit
Is sometimes imbedded, have a pleasing
appearance to the diners. White damask
Of rich design and fine quality is abso-

The Ko1enda In Russia.

In Russia. the Christmas eve celebra-
ton is long and curious. beginning in the
early afternoon with groups of peasants
singing carols in front of noblemen's
houses, where, they eagerly gather the
coins thrown at them from the windows.
This is called the Kolenda, and always
precedes the masquerade, when the peas
ants of all ages dress themselves to rep
resent different animals, in memory of
the Saviour having been born in a stable.
When the evening star rises. the colatEia
or supper is served, and among those
who can afford it there are Christmas
trees resplendent, as in Germany, with
lights, ornaments, goodies and presents.

dispensed with. In its place arrange
some daintily made garlands of moss in u
well designed pattern on the cloth, tie it
wherever it is necessary with a crimson
bow of fairly wide ribbon and place vari-
GUS PIECES of plate in the loops of the de-
sign. Anything fanciful in the way Of
dainty glass, Venetian or Bohemian, is
welcome on such occasions, provided that
its colors do not clash with the prevailing
shade, and those who are fortunate
enough to possess old china win no doubt
be able to produce some fine specimens
