The bell rang, and the occupier of
the apartment started to the window
to see who the visitor might be. To
his annoyance he saw a persistent
creditor who had evidently called
again for payment of his long out
standing account. The impecunious
one instantly called to his youthful
son and said;
Tommy, go to tile door at once. l
don't want to see that man. Tell him
I'm not at home"
"Oh, papa. 1 thought you never told

The buttons on coats, etc, are placed
on the right side and the shed of the
hair in boys to the left evidently to suit
manipulation by the right hand. The
great philosopher Newton records that
at first he confined his Astronomical
observations to his right eye, but after
ward he managed to train his left. But
there are persons who could not do this
owing to the unequal strength Of their
eyes-Chambers' Journal.

FIRE ALARM BOXES.


The System In New York and IEoyy 1t
Is Operated.
Greater New York is thiclly studded
with Iamppost fire alarm boxes. The
directions on each box, which is paint
ed red and is surmounted at night by q
red light, are:
Turn handle to right until door
opens; then pull inside hook once and
shut the door," The opening of the
box rings q large bell in the door,
which alarm is intended to notify any
one in the neighborhood, especially the
nearest policeman, that the box has
been opened. The policeman will then
make sure that this was not done out
of mischief by some one who wanted to
see the engines arrive or, as recently
happened by a raw maidseryant who
wanted to mail a letter. When the in
side lever is pulled down and let so, it
sets in motion a certain clockWork that
ticks out the number of the box three
times in succession at headquarters in
Sixty-seyenth street Not only that,
but it makes a record upon a tape,
showing the number OF the box ana the
exact second at which the lever was
pulled.
A clerk who sits night and day be-
side the headquarters instrument notes
the number and selects from a drawer
a certain disk which when inserted in
the proper apparatus causes the alarm
to be rung in the station houses of the
district in which that fireboX is situat-
ed. The average time required to Sc
| lect this disk and send out the alarm is
| ten seconds. There are always two
clerks and sometimes three in this de-
partment. Not a word is spoken. An
outsider would hardly know that an
alarm is going out. In order to prevent
several alarms coming at the same
time from people who see the same fire
and run to different boxes no two
neighboring boxes are on the same cir

BOXING THE COMPASS.
Hke Test Between Sailor and q
LandIubber.

Boys who live in seaport towns are
sometimes asked to ''box the compass"
If they can do it quickly and accurate
~, they are fine sailors and may grow
up to be the captain of a four master
If they miss a point or can only do it
slowly, they are landlubbers and will
never see blue water. To box the COM
pass means to name all the points in
order just as fast as you can speak.

CHAFFEE AND WHEATON
A Soldiers Greeting in Chicago-A
Touching Scene.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-"As a soldier who
has served many years, I know how
honors such as those that have been be-
slowed upon me come. They come to in
dividuals as they have come to me,
through the loyal devotion and service of
other officers and soldiers-that great
mass of men who compose the army of
the United States. They have helped me
to my honor and they helped my loyal
friend Wheaton to his honor, and no man
is more free to acknowledge it than that
prince of soldiers
With this panegyric on the American
soldier, Major General Chaffee fitted a
climax to touching demonstration of the
| cCm:adeship of barrack and, camp life at
last nights banquet at the Union League
club. The hero Of Ell Caney and General
Lloyd Wheaton. 'conqueror of the Moros
parted in the jungles of .Luzon and un.
they had shown the warmth of soldiers
greeting. :. =: =.
General Wheaton had been invited to sit
with the guests Of honor at, the speakers
| table, but was late. General Chaffee saw
him first as he threaded his way among
the tables. He arose and reached across
the table, reckoning him to approach.
General Wheaton made his way round
the board, and General Chaffee fell upon
his neck without further ceremony He
| threw his arm over the others shoulder
