Value of Telephone Number.

Telephone numbers have an actual
money value" said an officer of the
American Bell Telephone company.
"The assertion has strange sound,
but IL you think for a moment of the
advantage a business house derives
from having its location well known
the thing seems only natural
''In the course of time peoples minds
begin to associate a firm with its tele-
phone number, and If when they start
to call up an old friend they find him
masquerading under a new number 1t
Is as much of a shock as If they had
called at house with which they were
in the habit of doing business and
found it had moved away. 1t all
comes under the legal head Of good
WILL very elusive. commodity. but
one which has its market value.
80 much is this fact appreciated by
some of our old patrons that they are
willing to pay heavy mileage If they
move away from the neighborhood Of
their exchange in order to retain their
old telephone address. Many impor-
tant houses have followed the north
ward trend of business in the last few
years, and there are several cases of a
firms Office address being in the up
town district, while its telephone num-
Der remains so and so Cortlandt or
Broad. The firms line to the exchange
may be several miles long."-New York

The Boatman,s Turn.

A boatman in the north Of England
having been engaged to row a reverend
gentleman over rough part Of a river,
was very much annoyed at the manner
he was addressed by the clergyman,
the conversation commencing thus:
Clergyman-My dear man, have you
ever studied "geologyT
Boatman-No, sor; IA hewitt.
Clergyman-Well, my friend, that's
part Of life lost, but you will proba-
bly, know little theology"
Boatman turning quite irritable
No; IA knaw nowt ABBOTT that either.
Clergyman-Well, that's another part
of life lost, my man.
Nothing more was said, as the water
was turning very boisterous and they
were in great danger, when suddenly
the boat gave a lurch and was cap
sized. -
The boatman, being an expert swim
mer, took the situation quite coolly,
while his companion, who knew moth
ing Of the art of swimming, was strug-
Cling for life. The boatman, who was
making good progress toward terra
firma, accosted the clergyman with the
following:
"Aa say, mister, do We know onny-
thing ABBOTT 'swimologyT"
"No, my man; don't"
"Wey, what a pity" said the boat
man; there's a whole life LOST

saue1ched a rrench Dude.

A young woman of smart wit and
striking beauty presided at one of the
stalls at Paris charity bazaar. Among
the small crowd which pressed round
the fair vender was a young man Of
much assurance, who gazed upon the
girl with freedom and affected to ad-
mire the various fancy articles exposed
for sale, but bought nothing.
What will you please to buy?" ask
smile.
"Oh," replied the young dandy, with
a languishing look. what most wish
to buy is unhappily not for SALE"
Tell me what you wishY she re-
sponded.
"Oh, no; dare not declare my wish
es.'
Nevertheless let me know what you
wish to buy" persisted the fair sales
woman.
We'll. then, since you demand it, 1
should like ringlet of your glossy
black hair"
She manifested no embarrassment at
the bold request. but with a pair of
scissors Immediately clipped off one Of
her beautiful locks and handed it to the
astonished youth. remarking that the
price was only 500.
Her audacious admirer was thunder
struck with the demand, but dared not
demur, as by this time group had col
lected and were listening to the CONVEX
sation. So he took the hair, paid over
the money and left the hall.

The London Bus.

A bus weighs 5000 pounds and costs
f145. 1t is made of ash and oak except
the paneling, which is mahogany, and
the windows are of plate glass. Before
bus is allowed to earn its f2 los. a
day it has to be licensed, or, as they
say, you have to get a number plate
for it." This number plate is the white
plate with black figures surmounted by
crown seen at the tail of the bus. 1t
is provided by the police and costs f2.
Then there is a wheel duty of los. per
annum to be paid to the inland reve-
nue..
After making these payments any
one can run bus in London wherever
he likes, subject of course to the gen.
eral rules and regulations bearing upon
all vehicular traffic. Attached to each
bus is a stud of II horses, of which on
~ ten, or five pairs, are worked in any
one day, thus securing complete days
rest for each pair every sixth day. AS
bus runs Ga miles a day and five
pairs of horses are used 1t follows that
bus horses days work is 10 miles,
which he does in less, considerably
less, than three hours, the rate at
which he travels being between five
and six miles an hour.
This does not seem a great deal to
exact from horse, still the work is
hard. often involving prolonged dead
pull at the trot, and the crowded cons
ton of the London streets makes 1t
harder by necessitating continual devil
ations out of the way of obstacles and
abrupt stoppages to avoid collisions
