WAYS OF CARRYING MONEY.

Money.
Boston Herald: A great many men
have cranky ideas about preparing their
bills for speedy handling. One plan is
to fold each bill separately, keeping the
denominations apart in the various divi-
sions Of thelr pocket-books. This meth
cd facilitates the search for the desired
sum when making purchase. This Is
almost a sure guard against passing out
a bill Of the wrong denomination.
Then there are the men who make a
neat roll Of all their bills. The first is
rolled By Itself in about the size OF a
lead pencil. the next Is Tapped about II,
and 30 on to the end Then a rubber
band is placed about the entire lot
When 1t is desired to use one of the
bills the rubber is removed, and the
end OF the first bill caught between the
thumb and forehnger of the right hand
while the roll is held between the thumb
and the forefinger of the left hand. Then
the bill is quickly unwound, none OF the
others being disturbed.
A great many men never carry a poeK-
etbook. one reason for this IS that a
well-worn purse more easily slips from
the pocket than q roll Of bills. Then
again. the bulk OF q pocketbook " an
noylng; 1t takes up too much room, %.
necIaIIy when their pantalOons are mace
snug When pOcketboOks are not car
ried a favorlte receptacle is the watch
| nocket. When this Is used the bills are
made lip into little. hard bunch. Ihelr
nresence Is always felt against the BODY
| In n crowd there Is no danger OIL losing
them, and when travelling with any con-
siderable sum this Is q safe depository
Some men have a fad of carrying q
lot OF new bills In an envelope that is
kept in one OF the inside pockets. NOW
| and then q man is found who Keeps
| few bills In every pocket. He goes on
the theory that II he is robbed OF one
lot. n sufficient amount Will remain 70
inst him until he reaches home. He
starts out feeling that he Is going to be
robbed, and makes provisions to meet
every possible emergency. He usually
makes three folds OF his bills, and tucks
them away in the corners Of his pockets
with extreme care. He does not IeeI
surprised IL he finds, upon making an IN
Vpntory after arriving home, that a part
of his funds has disappeared, as he e&-
pccted TO be robbed.
ANY number OF men are found VINO
keep only little working capital IN
their trousers pockets, the bulk OF their
| funds being concealed In broad, fiat wal
let's in the inside pocket OF their waist
coat, These bills are always OF large
characterization and folded once. When
a man brings forth his reserve funds II
will be found that al the bills have
smooth, bright appearance. They have
been with HON so long that they are as
fat as q sheet from letter-press.
Very few men in this country carry
common purses In England purses
are common. The material is generally
piE-skln. but undressed kid Is also eX-
tensively used. The former have two
compartments. one for gold and one for
silver. II is sometimes amusing TO
watch u man with little undressed Kid
bag pay his fare on the street cars. es-
pecialy II he is wearing thick dogskin
gloves Only conductors with great
patience cnn watch the proceeding with
| complacency. A woman can pick out
| i've pennies from beneath roll OF bills
| In considerably less time than II takes
man with n kid purse to bring forth n
/ nickel. One reason that the hid purse
| Ia not popular Is because II feels like the
/ half OF a small dumb-bell In the pocket,
/ In London Il is the proper thing to car
ny piGskln, owing TO the large clrcula
ton OF soverelgns II is essential to
| keep the gold and silver separate in or
der to avoid mistakes
There arc coin cranks, rs well as paper
money crnnks. Some years ago there
lived lille round-faced man over In the
Back Bay, who came into the business
district every week dny morning pre-
clsely at O'Clock. In paying his fare
! he always passed up bright new nick
| 81 that looked like MS n Il had Just come
| to him fresh from the mint Where or
| how he got them wnH mystery 10 the
| conductor. but he finally decided that
| his customer WAS connected with some
banking Institution, and that the new
money was used 10 escape the chances
OF contracting disease through the
handling OF money that had been In
common use.
There arc any number OF people who
cannot let 20 new coin without eXper-
lcncinE n ping. They win hold ON to
new hnlf-dollar until the last eNtrem-
| fly, Then there are those who visit the
| sub treasury every few days and get
a pocket-ful or new 10-cent pieces. They
experience Il special delight IN passing
them out. as they feel that those who
receive them will wonder "Who that
man Is"
