The Varied Ways in Which safety Is
Sought.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
A great many men have cranky ideos
about preparing their bills for ready han
ding. One plan Is 10 fold each bin sepa-
rately, keeping the denominations apart
in the various divisions of their pocket
books This method facilitates the search
for the desired sum when making a pur-
chase. This Is almost sure guard against
passing out bill Of the wrong denomina-
lion.
Then there are men who make a neat
roll of all their bills. The first is rolled
by itself to about the size of a lead pencil.
the next is Tapped about it, and so on to
the end. Then a rubber band is placed
about the entire lot When it Is desired
TO use one Of the bills the rubber is re-
moved and the end of the first bill caught
between the thumb and forefnger of the
right hand while the roll Is held between
the thumb and forefnger of the left hand.
Then the bill is quickly unwound, none of
the others being disturbed.
A great many men never carry a pock-
etbook. One reason for this is that we'll

pocket than a roll of bills, Then again
the bulk OF a pocketbook ~ annoying; it
takes up too much room, especially where
the pantaloous are made snug. When
pOCketbookS are not carried, a faVorite re-
ceptacle is the watch pocket When this
Is used the bills are made up into little
hard bunch. Their presence is always
felt against the body. In a crowd there
is no danger of losing them, and when
travelling with any considerable sum this
Is a safe depository.
Some men have q fad of carrying a lot
of new bills IN an envelope that Is kept
In one of the inside pockets. Now and
then a man is found who keeps few
bills in every pocket. He goes on the the

NOTHING TO GO TO WASTE.
Very Many Things, Once Thrown
Away, Now Made Use of.
From the Chicago Tlmes-Heraid.

From the Chicago Times Herald
Most people are familiar with the fact
that buttons are now made out of the
blood of slaughtered animals, which form
erly was allowed to go to waste. Indeed,
the packing industry has been brought to
such a high degree of perfection that
every portion of pigs and steers is now
made into something useful to contribute
to the comfort of mankind
A few years ago a chemist came along
and told Philip Armour that he was vast
ing thousands of dollars by throwing away
the stomachs of pigs, which contained pep
sin. These stomachs were then shipped to
New York, where pepsin was extracted,
but Mr.. Armour was finally induced 90
build laboratory of his own for the man
ufacture of pepsin. As a result of this
addition to their vast Industrial establish
ment the Armours have revolutionized the
pepsin industry and have conferred a
priceless boon upon dyspeptic humanity
by placing commodity that was formerly
imported from England within the reach
of the poorest sufferers. Even the hair
scraped from the skin of the slaughtered
animals is made by the Armours into a
thick cloth that is valuable in the manu-
facture of saddles and cushions for vehi-
ces.
Coal tar, by-product OF che manufac-
ture OF gas, was formerly regarded as OF
httie value. Many gas factories, in fact,
sent 1t into a nearby stream through a
waste pipe. This product has now become
one OF the most valuable byproducts
known to productive industry Its contri-
button to chemistry and therapeutics Is
the marvel of the age. TO say nothing of
It's utilization In the mechanical arts. It
VIII be one Of the distinguished features
OF our industrial progress in the twentieth
century that inventive genius will allow
absolutely nothing to go TO waste.

A RAZOR OF JESSE JAMES.
A Seattle Bnrber Spins "a Yarn About
How He Got One in His shop.


From the Seattle Post-Inteligencer.
A razor which is said to have been once
the property of Jesse James, the famous
outlaw and bandit of the Middle Western
states. is owned now by a barber in this
city, Thomas Moore. Mr.. Moore in CIV
ing the history of the razor, says that one
day about fourteen or fifteen years ago he
came home from school to his fathers
farm, four miles south of st. Joseph, Mo,
and found two men there at dinner. They
were engaged i'm noisy argument with
his father. 1t seems that they were I'M
willing to pay the price asked for the meal
given them and the feed for their horses.
lone of them showed a roll of bills and
told my father he would not pay a cent"
said Mr.. Moore, telling the story yester-
day. MY father went into the house and
got a liToteun. which he pointed at the
men and told them 10 pay. They still re-
fused. The gun, by the way. was not load
ed. They then broke open the barn door,
took out their horses and rode away. Be
fore they left one of them pulled a razor
ard strap from his saddle bag and threw
1t over the gate. saying with an oath to
my fa'le err There is the money for the
feed keep quiet or you'll get a bullet
through your head"
so they rode away. Some months aft
erwatd we heard that Jesse James had
been Killed by Bob Ford My father took
me up to ST. Joe and showed me the body
o the morgue of Solder & Faler's under
taking parlors. Both my father and my
self at a glance recognized the dead man
as the one who had thrown the razor over
the gate several months before. / took
the razor from my father and since l COM
menced the barberlng business | have used
it constantly. 1t is very old razor, and
was, J think. made in England. 1t was
very thick when ] got It, but l sent 1t 10
New York three years ago and had it
ground down. Excepting the time when II
