Man is particularly susceptible to in

1t is a law if you overeat that you

fall down in front of a moving train

the conscious or unconscious infrac-

There is a certain city down toward
 the center of the state of Illinois which
 is very proud of it's brand new court
 house." said a travelling man for one
 of Chicago's big wholesale houses. "I
 had to stay over a night in that town
 one night last week. and as l had some
 time to kill after supper, l thought I'd
 go around and see the new building.
 It certainly is a very imposing struc-
 ture, built of granite and occupying a
 great big square in the center of the
 block, with lawns running up from the
 street to the different sides of the
 building. I found the janitCr, and he
 took me all over the place, turning on
 the incandescent lights to show me
 the handsome frescoes and finishes of
 the different rooms. What particularly
 caught my attention was the spotless
 cleanliness of everything. The mosaic floors, the quarter-sawed oak wood work, the stair cases, the roturda rail- ings. the rcomy elevators-all were as
 bright and free from dust and tarnish
 as the proverbial new pin. Just fancy court rooms and offices looking that way at the ordinary county seat How do you do it?" I asked the jani- tor. He smiled but said nothing until he reached his store room. Then he showed me a whOle case of Gold Dust which he kept in stock. This washing powder" he said. lis the only thing that will be used around this place as long as l am janitor. l have been do- ing this kind of work all my life, and have never had such a snap keeping things clean as since I began using Gold Dust You can imagine what a ! job l would have here without it."

THE WORLDS GLACIERS.
They Cover a Larger Area Than Gen
 orally Supposed.

For the past five years physical geographers have been giving a great deal of attention to the study of gla- ciers. One question that has inter- ested them very much is whether since the beginning of the historic period the glaciers of the world have augmented or diminished in area. No perfectly definite information with regard to this question has been obtained, though some general conclusions have been reached It is traditional in the Alps, however, and some other regions that valleys now occupied by glaciers were formerly pasture lands. On the whole, it is certain that for several centuries till quite recently there was a gradual increase in the area of glaCiation.
 Glaciers everywhere are in a state of continual movement-they are con stantly increasing in length or short ening. Climatic variations are, of course, the cause of these oscillations, though the influence of climate upon glacial movement is not yet fully un- derstood. When the laws governing the movements of glaciers are well known the science of meteorology will be considerably further advanced than it is today.
 There is good evidence to show that in the arctic regions in the eighteenth century and in part of the nineteenth an important extension of glaciers oc- cured. In Spitzbergen, for example harbors which whalers had often wis ited in the seventeenth and early in the eighteenth centuries were filled later with glaciers so that they could no longer be used by shipping. The advance of glaciers in Iceland is said to have covered places that had for merly been the sites of farms and churches. Glaciers seem within the historic period. to have attained their greatest extent about 1900. Since that time few of them have grown to an important degree. Many of them have diminished in size and others have en- tirely disappeared. This phenomenon has been observed in all parts of the world
 Probably few persons imagine that glaciers cover so large an area as they do. The land surfaces which are today buried under glacial snow and ice are supposed to be about 4,485 O00 square

FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
There Are Plenty of Odd Pieces of
 Paper About Yet.

It is more than probable that should enc of the present generation be given 25-cent or a 15-cent note of the frac tional currency so common in the country from 1862 until the middle of the '70s, the recipient would refuse it on the ground that it was either spuri- ous or a piece of Confeerate money. There are thousands today who have never seen a specimen of this currency; and yet only few years ago it was in every ones hands, used as a medium for all sorts of trade, and carried with it one of the most prosperous periods this country has ever known-at least, according to the view taken by old timers of the decade following the late unpleasantneSs.
 There is more of this fractional cur rency floating around at even this late day, however, than one would imagine at first thought. Of course there IS very little that finds its way into the channels of trade. but every now and then piece of it bobs up, and unless it comes into the hands of an old-t timer to whom it recalls thousand fold mem Ories, it generally causes a controversy on the spot. A considerable amount is redeemed at the treasury department every year, and the amount so re- deemed showed perceptibly the effect of the hard times early in the '90s. The dearth of ready money forced those who hoarded their pocket pieces to go down into their stockings in the hunt for coin, and for some reason the amount presented at the treasury de- partment during the fiscal year just ended is larger than for some years past. In a few years treasury officials expect that the amount redeemed each year will dwindle to very few thou-

miles in extent, or more than one and half times as large as the United States. This enormous mass of ice is distributed very unevenly over the world, and nearly all of it is in the polar regions. Outside of the perpet- ually frozen north and south about 19, 800 square miles of surface are covered with glaciers.
 It will be interesting to remember that there are two distinct types of glacial phenomena-the Alpine and the polar One of the best examples of the Alpine type of glacier is seen in the Mer de Glace at Chamounix. A circle of peaks surrounds a depression which is filled with compacted snow and ice known as neve. This is the reservoir. the source of the glacier. In this depression the snow, either fall ing from the heavens or brought by winds and avalanches, accumulates to a great depth, is transformed into neve, and begins to overflow down the mountain side, a true glacier. It is thus seen that the characteristic fea- ture of the Alpine glaciers is that they occupy depressions in relation to the surrounding topography.
 On the other hand, the polar glacier, instead of being formed in a depres- sion, occupies eliminating position above everything else. It is an enor- nous cap of cupola rising above the surrounding lands. It is the dominant feature far and wide. Such, for exam pie. is the great ice cap of Greenland, and it is thought probable that an enormously thick sheet of ice may covar a continental mass of land i, the antarctic regions and form the largest sheet of ice in the world.-New York Sun.

PADS IN HIRING MEN.

| Applicants for Work Are Often Vic tins of Eccentricity.
 "No, can't use you. No opening to- day The position I advertised has been filed" The manager wheeled in his
 chair, and, facing his desk, left half frightened man standing bareheaded in the middle of the room. The visitor was His face was round, red and shiny, and his vest stuck out in front with con- siderable pretension. Yet he was well dressed and had all the earmarks of a sober, industrious fellow, well quail fled to fill the position which the man ager had advertised as vacant, But he didn't get the job. He bowed himself out of the managers office and went away.
 The manager touched a button near his desk and the office boy came bound ing in. II want to tell you once more and for the last time not to show any fat men looking for work into my of flee" he said. q wouldn't hire a fat man." he continued, turning to friend who had witnessed the incident Fat men are lazy. I never knew one who wasn't 1 used to think that perhaps I was prejudiced against them, and just to make sure I hired one or two. l found out that I was right. I have 75 men working under me and you won't find a fat man among them. It stands to reason that af a man couldn't be anything but lazy; and if he could, he certainly would be slow and ponderous. Give me a slim man for any kind of a position. He at least knows how to handle himself and keep out of the way. I like skinny men, and the 'skinnier they are the better 1 like them"
 This is an illustration of the trials and tribula tions which beset men who are looking for work They are con stantly made the victims of eccentric employers, each of whom has his own individual ideas about men and the characteristics that go to make up valuable employe. The man doesn't live whose natural graces and heredi- tary endowments would suit the pe- CulhI luulNluudl ldllCIeS Dl Hdil d uuHtll employers who pride themselves on their ability to pick the right man for the right position.
 Frequently man seeking work is told ther is no opening for him, when there really is a vacancy to be filed simply because nature has equipped him in such a way that some little characteristic of his manner or appear ance meets the eccentric fancy of the employer at right angles Many q man goes away after having been turned down" for some position without know ing that the reason lies in the color of his eyes, his build, or some other in- significant characteristic.
 That employers are eccentric with re- gard to the men they hire is shown by the wide range of natural qualifications they consider in dealing with applicants for space on their pay rolls. Fat men, lean men, tall men, short men, men with all colors of eyes. good-looking men, homely men, well-dressed men, men who are careless about their attire, men who take short steps and walk briskly, men who propel themselves

GAS COMPANY SETTLES.
Four Persons Reimbursed for Injuries in Washington Street Explosion

Four Persons Reimbursed for Injuries
 in Washington Street Explosion.
 Four important suits against the Hartford City Gas Light company were assigned for trial before Judge Thayer in the Superior court the first thing Tuesday morning, but they were settled yesterday and were withdrawn from the docket. The terms of settle- ment were private.
 The suits were brought on account of the gas explosion at 97 Washington St on the evening of September 1, 1900, when three persons were injured by the flames and shock and were taken to the Hartford { hospital. One of the plaintiffs sued to recover the value of personal property burned at the time. The plaintiffs are Mrs Minnie Campbell, the wife of William Campbell; Charles F. Medicke, John J. Ryan and Hilda Carlson, It was alleged by the plain tiffs that the explosion was caused by the employees of the gas company's setting d meter and turning on the gas without ascertaining that chandelier had been removed from a back room on the first floor. The explosion oc- cured while an effort was being made to find the leak which was filling the house with gas. Heavy damages were claimed and it was rumored last night that cash plaintiff received adequate compensation for the injuries received, medical attendance, medicines. loss of time, etc. Hungerford, Joslyn & Gil- man for the plaintiffs and Gross, Hyde & Shipman for the gas company Hartford Courant.

slowly and ponderously-in fact, men oi every description come under the ban lowered by employers.
 The men with which employers sur round themselves in business rela tions stand for their own individual estimates of valuable help and good fellows to have around" This, of course, is not a characteristic truth with regard to factories and other workshops, where the employer Is not brought into direct contact with his men, but the rule is strongly assertive in offices and mer- cantiIe establishments in which rela- tions are more closely drawn.
 There is one extensive employer in Chicago who will not hire man until he has seen him walk. His theory Is that character is revealed more cer- tainly in this way than any other and when man applies to him for posi- ton he is politely asked to step across the room on one pretext or another. If he moves with brisk step, plants his feet firmly on the floor without making too much noise, carries his body erect as though be meant business, and acts as though he knew where he was going, he gets the job if there is an opening and other conditions are favorable. 1T can tell as soon as see a man walk whether l want to hire the man." this employer says. "Of course, I am mis- taken sometimes, but I wouldn't place a man on my pay roll without first having observed his manner of carrying himself. l find it a good rule"
 Another employer wouldn't think of hiring man with gray eyes He ad- mits that his suspicion may not be well founded. but insists that he couldn't bring himself to trust man with gray eyes and on this account would not have him in his office. Thin men come under the ban of still another He de- clares that an extremely slender man is almost without exception dyspeptic with bad disposition and that he is liable to prove nervous and irrtab be and hard to get along with.
 The view of employers on the personal characteristics of men, in addition to presenting unmistakab1e evidence of ec- centricity, are amusing. One man wouldn't hire good looking man be- cause he is conceited, while another
 
 ground that they are eyesores around an office. A blue-eyed man is branded as effeminate, while black eyes are de- clared to be suggestive of too much temper. Talkative men are a nuisance: men who do not talk are plotters and inclined to be sullen. A man who hesi- tates before answering a question Ia cks decision of character, while another who talks back freely is fresh" and likely to become tiresome In La Salle street office one employer with l0 men under him couldn't be induced to consider an application for a position coming from man who parts his hair in the middle" He says it is an indi- cation of weakness.
 These are a few of the things cousid- cred by men who make a study of their employees, and while the conditions inn posed as to natural qualifications seem trivial and incOnsequential to outsiders they are really part of the business mans business With him first impress sions are everything, and his estma te of a man is based upon the nature of his own individual whms-From the Chicago Tribune.
