FOLDED TRANSFERS.

They Increase Conductors Work
and Are Trying to His Temper.
Some people have no sympathy for
street car conductors" said one of their
number after he had had peculiarly
lively time In making change and Civ
ing and collecting transfers. says the
New York Times.
Now" continued the conductor,
there is one little matter that would
save us lots of trouble II the people
would only bear it in mind. and that is
the way they hand in their transfers
Some men and few women know
enough to hand us the little strips of
paper Just as they receive them-that
is. spread out In such a way that we
can glance at them. see that they are
all right and then place them with the
package already collected. The ma,
jority of people don't do this. and as a
rule the women are the worst Of the
lot
When a woman gets a transfer, she
folds it up into as small a space as
possible and then slows 1t away in her
purse. When the time comes to collect
this from her. she fishes the wad of pa
per out of the purse. hands 1t to the
conductor and sits hack in her seat
content with what she has done.
"The conductor has to unfold this
piece of paper to see If it Is really the
proper transfer This takes time. and
when there are dozen women on the
car all doing the same thing the poor
conductor has more than he can do to
keep his temper. Men as rule don't
fold their transfers, but content them
selves with showing the slips into their
pockets and then producing crumpled
piece of paper when it is called for,
tossing it to the conductor. who has to

Strength In Aluminium.

In reply to the question which. it is
said, metal workers frequently ask,
What is the strength of aluminium p
The Aluminium World says that cast
aluminium is about equal in strength
to cast iron in tension, while In resist.
ing compression it is comparatively
weak. Under transverse strain alu-
minium is not very rigid. but It will
bend nearly double before breaking.
The tensile strength of aluminium is
greatly improved by forging and press

much stronger than the pure metal.

VEGETABLES.
Why Are Some Vulgar and other.

Why do we respect some vegetables
and despise others? The bean is a
graceful. confding, engaging vine, but
you never can put beans into poetry or
into the highest kind of prose- There
is no dignity in the bean.

The lettuce Is to me a most interest

it must be fresh and crisp. so sparkling
that you scarcely notice the bitter in it.
Lettuce, like most takers. though. is
apt to run rapidly to seed.

Moody's vot. of Thanko.

Possibly the most novel response ever
made to request to return vote OF
thanks to a chairman was that made
by Mr.. Moody during his first visit to
England.
He had attended meeting at which
the Earl of Shaftesbury was chairman
rhe duty of proposing vote of thanks
was assigned to him and the announce
ment made:
"Our American cousin, the Rev. Mr.
Moody of Chicago, will now move a
vote of thanks to the noble earl who
has presided on this OCCASION"
The whole thing was quite out of Mr.
.Ioody's line. English formalities might
tr might not have come gracefully
from his lips had he attempted them
but he did not. With an utter disre-
gard of conventionality he burst upon
the audience with the bold announce
ment:
I THE speaker has made two mis-
takes. To begin with. I'm not the Rev.
SIR. Moody at all I'm plain Dwight L.
Moody, Sunday school worker. And
then I'm not your American cousin.
BY the grace of God I'm your brother,
interested with you in our Fathers
work for his children
"And now about this vote of thanks
to the noble earl for being our chair
man this evening" don't see why
we should thank him any more than
he should thank us. When at one time
they offered to thank our Mr.. Lincoln
for presiding over meeting in Illinois,
he stopped it. He said he'd tried to do
his duty. and they'd tried to do theirs.
He thought it was about an even
thing all round"
That opening fairly took the breath
away from Mr.. Moody's hearers. Such
a talk could pot be gauged by any
known standard. Mr.. Moody carried
his English audiences with him from
that beginning to his latest labors.-
