be impossible to exagerate or even to

Passenger Elevators.

SO common are passenger elevators
now and so absolutely necessary in the
tall office buildings that the history of
the first one has been almost forgotten,
and yet it created a sensation in it's
day. This elevator was placed in the
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York when
it was built, and as the first passenger
elevator in the world it was a drawing
card as II Of the sights Of New York.
A small plate suitably inscribed in
forms visitors to the Fifth Avenue ho-
tel elevators today of that fact. 1t was
q screw elevator, the carriage being
raised or lowered by the revolutions Of
a big screw. Compared with the swift
moving elevators of today. which shoot
up and down rapidly and smoothly,
this was a very crude affair. Many of
New York's private houses are now
equipped with elevators so adjusted
that the passenger operates them by
pushing a button. These are practi-
cally automatic.

some men, as a freight agent of n of
the railroads that enter st. Louis
nights thinking of Il sheme to beat Il
railroad. This little woman didn't quite
succeed. but she would have done so
had not the agent gone back on his
word. The family had decided to
to a western city. The lady called on
the agent to see how the goods were to
be shipped. He told her she could ship
them according to regular rates or else
charter a car. He explained that the
latter would be cheaper if she had
enough goods, and the lady decided to
take a car. Now, there are two we'll
grown boys, and as money is not over
plentiful in the family she wished to
abridge expenses as much as possible.
She went to see the agent again and
asked if she could send her two boys
in the car. lie told her that she could
not, and, as might be expected. she
asked why. He couldn't make her
understand just why, and when she
asked him if the company never let
anybody go along with the goods he
said that they did With stock. IF you
were shipping live stock that needed
tending, we would do it. Now, you
haven't a Gov or horse or pig, and there
would be no use sending any one
along" She appeared to see the point
this time and went away. A day or
two later she came around again and
asked for passes for the two boys.

Then the agent was in trouble again.
He said he couldn't give passes where
the fare amounted to about IS apiece
for two boys for a lonely little pig. She
reminded him of what he had said and
told him that she had paid 1925 for the
pig for that purpose, and he ought to
be as good as his word. Like all rail-
road agents, he tried to get out of the
trouble smoothly, but only succeeded
after he had purchased the pig for
$3.50, an advance of two bits on the
cost.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"Why, what did he ever have to con-

Everything. He came of a wealthy
family. He didn't have to work his
way through college. He never studied
by the light of a pine torch, never had
to drive a dray, never walked six miles
to school and wasn't compelled to bor-

facility, and yet he has done well from
the very start."-Chicago Tribune.

An English scientist who lately des.

point out the virtues of the onion,
which is in high favor with many per-

lemon its devotees regard it as q
panacea for good many ills and as a
preventive of many of the disorders to

point which distinguishes it, and that
is the somewhat high percentage of
sulphur it contains.

ment. Like the lemon, the onion may
also lay claim to antiscorbutic proper
ties-that is, to qualities which render
t a preventive of scurvy. Its mineral
constituents include proportion of
Hotash salts, and probably its antiscor-
butte qualities depend upon these lat
ter compounds.
Contagion In the Schoolroom.
Common means of contagion are
these: kissing, exchanging handker-
chiefs, ribbon, chewing gum, whistles,
slate and lead pencils, which are al
most always, consciously or uncon-
sciously, carried to the mouth. Coins
also are treated in the same way.
Drinking cups, by their common use,
often spread diseases. Schoolbooks
are ready carriers of contagion. Then
also may be mentioned the Dangers
from overcrowding the schoolrooms,
which leads to the breathing of impure
air and the dissemination Of germs
Wraps which are not absolutely need,
