He Cashes Pay Checks

New York pays its employees by
check, and each pay day sees a great
many men with their whole months
salary in their hand, but no money.
Various bankers whose places of bust
ness are near the city hall are willing
to cash the city's checks, but they
charge a commission, usually 10 cents
on each 500.
The proprietor of saloon near the
city hall is willing to cash the checks
without charging commission, and on
pay days his establishment is jammed
with officials. He makes his profit on
the increased sale of liquids at his bar,
for no man after having his check cash
ed leaves the place without buying a
drink. The proprietor of the estab-
lishment provides against the city pay
day by drawing $4,000 from the bank
and hiring a man to take entire charge
of the check cashing business. Ere
quently the entire $4,000 is exchanged
for checks. When this happens, the
proprietor sends for more money. No
city employee asks to have his pay
check cashed and is not accommodate
ed, and the extra pay day sales at the
bar are a considerable feature of the
years trade.-New York Sun.

Our endurance would be tested to

source the brick tea of Tibet, made

recipe. This tea, for the convenience
of porterage on camels, is made up
in the form of hard, solid, bricklike

of the stems and leaves of our ordinary

brick tea Is merely the offscourings Of

When tea is to be made, pieces are

sesses-it is undoubtedly stimulating.
The flavor of the tea Is not improved
either to our taste by the additions to
it which the Tartar favors. Instead
of cream and sugar, mutton fat and
salt are usually considered the correct
things to add, and it can readily be
imagined that the beverage thus pro-
duced does not present any particular
attraction to Englishmen. - Good

Got to BE AN old story.

Over 20 years ago an American civil
engineer, who visited Cabecera, in
Venezuela, was asked by a deputation
of the inhabitants, who had heard Of
his skill as a surveyor, whether he
thought a canal could be made from
their village to Proyecue, which would
save very long river journey. He
visited the district and found that by
taking advantage of two small streams
canal of about league would be all
that was necessary.
The committee were delighted with
this report, and they begged the sur
veyor to write an official letter to the
government on their behalf, asking
that they might be permitted to begin
the work at once.
Ten years after this the surveyor
was again at the village of Cabecera,
and the first question asked him was:
"Do you not think canal could be
made from here to Provecue?"
On his informing them that. he had
been asked the same question ten years
before and had taken some time and
trouble about the matter, the chairman
replied that on account of politics, the
death Of his father, etc, the govern
ment letter had probably been over
looked. Search was made, the letter
was found and once more all was ex-
element. Nothing was talked about
but the canal.
Some years later yet the surveyor
was again at Cabecera. Immediately
on his arrival deputation waited upon
him. ''Do you think a canal The
speaker never got any further with
that question.-Youth's Companion.

"A Clever Dog.

There is more in a dog than mans
philosophy accounts for. No theory
of instincts sometimes defined as q
faculty prior to experience and indie
pendent reason-will explain some ac-
lions of clever dog whose case is
reported by a correspondent of the
London Spectator:
l knew dog in Ireland-a retriever
who had been taught always to bring
his own tin dish in his mouth to be
filed at the late dinner. For some
reason his master wished to make a
change and to feed him twice a day
instead of once.
The dog resented this, and, when told
to bring the dish, refused, and it could
nowhere be found, on which his master
spoke angrily to him and ordered him
to bring the dish at once.
With dropping tail and sheepish ex
preston he went down the length OF
the garden and began scratching III
the soil, where he had buried the bow
deep down to avoid having to bring II
at an hour of which he did not ap

The PecuIiar Toucan.

The most amusing thing about that
peculiar bird the toucan was to see
him preparing to roost, and he began
quite early, while other birds were still
wide awake. The first thing was to
carefully cock up-for it was slow
and cautious proceeding his absurd
little scut of a tail, which was only
about three or four inches long. This
must in some way have affected his
balance, for he never moved on the
perch after the tail had been laid care
fully back. Then, later in the even
ing, he gently turned the huge, I'M
wieldy bill around by degrees until it,
too, was laid along his back and buried
In feathers in the usual bird fashion.
By the way, l have always wonder
ed how and why the myth arose that
birds sleep with their heads under their
wings. A moments thought or obser-
walton would show that it is quite as
impossible a feat for a bird as for a
human being.
However, the toucan's sleeping ar
Engagements resulted in producing an
oval mass of feathers supported on one
leg, looking as unlike bird as it is
possible to imagine. When he was
ruthlessly awakened by sudden poke
or noise, which, grieve to state, was
often done-in my absence, needless to
say heard that he invariably tum-
bled down in sprawling heap, being
unable to adjust the balance required
by the ponderous bill all in moment.

To begin with he's "a good fellow"
That's a phrase easier understood by
men than by women. It generally
means-well, it means he's an all round
good sort in the male line.
Saturday afternoon he was feeling
pretty good. He had been quite thirsty
if what he had taken was to be judged
as a criterion. And the libations left
him in thoroughly good humor, and
he felt at peace with the world.
In this delightful mental and phys
ical state he bethought him of friend
of his in Providence, and he further
thought that he would call up that
particular friend on the telephone.
So he went to Broad street hotel,
told the young woman there who had
charge of the telephone that he wanted
to speak to Mr. So-and-so in Provi-
dence and wouldn't she kindly call up
the party.
The girl did as she was babe.
"Party's on the phone" she said,
and the man went into the telephone
box, sat down and put the receiver to
his ear.
And then he calmly and sweetly
dropped off to sleep.
When he woke up, he owed the tele-
phone company $3.50.
He said he wouldn't pay it, but he
did.-Philadelphia Press.

had bet $50 goldpiece as to who could

stakes deposited, time was called, and

into the hour without either disputant

Suspecting something was wrong,
Crane walked himself up and examined
his men more closely. The other man
was wavering a bit. but Mccullough
was standing like a rock. Another five
minutes went by, and then Crane, hop

Tough had one foot resting against an
adjacent sofa and could have stood
there for a week, if necessary. The
other man won the bet, but the joke
was on the referee.

That all is work and nowhere space.

THE CHESS PLAYERS.

The clock, unheeded, peals the midnight hour.
The house is mute, the light is waxen dim.
Whose is the wand and whence the magic power
That these has smitten with enchantment
grim2
The pygmy figures on the painted squares,
Silent as clustered friars on their knees
Whom death transmutes to marble at their
prayers
Seem not more stiff and statuelike than
these
With hearts of champions charging in the lists,
Whose lances crumble as they crash and fall
With nerves of boxers pounding with their
fists
There is no movement 1t is semblance all
Save that at intervals hand outstretched
Beckons charge or signals retreat;
Or, from the depths whence plots malign are
fetched,
Issues the interdict that seals defeat
The mimic battle has been lost and won.
The spacious night has shrunken to a span.
The world is lifted from oblivion,
And each automaton becomes man.

White of the noiled Egg unflt 10 Eat

Very few persons can eat the white
of a hard boiled egg with any degree
of comfort. Eggs are highly nutri-
tious and easy of digestion when light
ly or under cooked. The albumen, the
white Of the egg, coagulates as soon
as it is dropped into hot water. The
long boiling renders the yolk soft and
mealy, but the white becomes tough
and indigestible and should be dis
carded.-Ladies' Home Journal.
