THE honest AVERAGE.
Plenty of Trusting Done I'm the City,
But There Are Bad-Debt Col
lectOrs as Well.

Eyes, there's lots of get-up-and-get
about john" said Mr.. Perkins. He
was relating the experiences of his
visit to the city, a call on an old neigh
boris son, says Youths Companion.
Johns enterprising, and he's willing
to work a good many hours day.
Only question in my mind'-Mr. Per-
kins wagged his head dubiously-'i
whether he's got just that variety Of
of gumption that he needs in his bust
ness.
'You see, John buys jewelry, whole
sale, and then takes it around to
houses and sells it on a kind of a dol
d-ffty-cents-a-w sys-
tenn. Sells a lot of it, too, but he
doesn't have quite enough trade to
warrant hiring an office by himself, SO
he goes halves with another fellow;
and when Johns customers come to
pay their installments they run
smack into the other fellows sign on
the door. Bad Bills Collected it says.
Now, Pm not quite clear in my
mind that that's = help to Johns par
tic'lar branch of-of commerce.
Seems to me if l was a customer l
might take it as kind of cross-eyed
hint.
John laughed when l mentioned
that to him. Said the combination
just happened SO, and nobody noticed
it except to make joke about it once
in awhile. Moreover, folks are honest,
take 'em as they run, he says, and it
doesn't worry him mite to trust out
gold watches and silver spoons.
Seems you can buy most anything
that way-which you couldn't do, of
course, if the average man and woman
didn't cal'late to play fair.
John showed me pianos for sale at
ten dollars down and five dollars IA
month; likewise clothes and furniture
on your own terms, so to speak. As |
sized it up, a man that looked decent
and was working right along at his
job could go into the places without
any money, scarcely, and lug off most
anything in the shop.
Then John showed me the street.
! railway company's lost articles room.
where people leave things they've
picked up in the cars. There's every
thing there, sir, everything, from a
single mitten to good fat pocket
book. The clerk said folks that found
'em were good deal more likely to
bring 'em in than folks that lost 'em
were to call for 'em.
Talked with the policeman at the
depot. | did, too. He says folks fairly
come a-running, sometimes, to return
valuable property they find there. He
says people are honest.
I'm not disputing it," Mr.. Perkins
added. Il believe it. Nevertheless,
Johns occupation and his roommate's
sign-aey stick in my crop. They do
so. When you take 'em together, they
don't show judgment. If I'm honest,
what's the need Of reminding me that
the constable lives next door and the
county Jail is just beyond?
But then, Johns young"

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The principal rubber port is now
Mahos, on the Amazon, Para having
taken second place.
Fifteen thousand dollars was
stolen by pickpockets at the Chicago
exposition, of which $4,000 was re-
covered.
The average number of counter
feiting cases now handled annually
is about 600, and of this number
nearly so per cent, are those of per-
sistent and habitual criminals.
Foremost among the railways in
which French interests are concerned
in China is the Hankau-Peking line,
which has length of 776 miles, and
was conceded to Franco-Belgian
syndicate.
Princess Charles of Denmark is a
very clever carver in wood, and one
of her favorite pastimes is carving
pipes. These she presents to her
husband and several of her male
| cousins who are smokers.
The number of employees on the
railroads of the German empire in
1900 was 537,122, equal to 17.3 per
mile of road, and one to every los
inhabitants. The total number is
$4,000 less than of the active army.
One of the strictest rules about the
capitol at Washington is that no
goods of any kind shall be sold there
other than what is handled at the
senate and house restaurants. Some
years ago vendors were allowed to
sell curios in the corridor near the
entrance to the house of Representa-
tives, but that has long been discon-
tinued.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS,
Apparent Advantage of the American
System Over That in Operation
in England.

The fast annual report of the Brit
ish postmaster general upon the
government or postal savings banks
shows that for the year ending Jan
uary /, 1902, the excess of deposits
over Withdrawals was about $11 ,000,-
900.
The postal savings banks In Eng
land are pointed out among the adj
vocates of government ownership as
an illustration of the superior ben
etits derived by government control
of matters which are conducted in
the United States by private indi-
viduals, states the New York Sun.
But it is observable that while the
deposits in British postal savings
banks. exceeded the Withdrawals by
S20,O0O,OO0 in 1892, $25,OOO,OOO In 1898,
$40,000,00O in 1894, and $45,000,0O0 in
1895, they have since diminished to
such an extent that they exceeded
the Withdrawals last year by 81 ,0O0..
600 only, and the experience of gov
ernment-conducted savings banks Is
the same substantially in all other
countries.
In the United States, where the in
terest of the government is limited
to supervision, and there Is no off,
cial liability for either the revenues
of bonds, the business OF banks has
been steadily increasing; the inter-
est paid is larger than it is in Eng
land; the expenses of administration
are materially less, and the losses
incurred by depositors are infiinites-
imal in amount.
In New York state alone the re,
sources of savings banks ten years
ago were $667,000,0OO. They were on
January /, 1901, 1,067 100000, an in
crease i'll resources through depos-
its and the appreciation of invest.
ments of $4Oo,oOO,OoO in ten years.
Where the increase in deposits In
English government banks was SILL
100000 last year, the increase in the
banks in New York state was $780,
100000, or more than six times as
much, and New York is only one
of the states which have separate
savings bank system conducted by
private individuals under the pro-
visions of state laws as to banks,
The private savings banks of New
York have collectively more resour-
ces than all the government savings
banks of Great Britain combined,

HOUSECLEANING HINTS.
A Batch of Brevities Regarding the
Renovation and Renewal of
the Household.

Throw away all the ragged, dirty
iron and pot handle holders and make
new ones. The best kind has an out
side cover of some dark cotton stuff
with an interlining of thin leather,
which may easily be had by saving the
best part of old boot tops, advises Good
Housekeeping.
If there are badly discolored spots
on silver which nothing in the way of
silver polish will remove, try fine
salt. By the way, an excellent home
made silver polish is made from pow
dered chalk mixed in a thick paste
with water and teaspoonful of am
monia.
1t is not rare to find nice furniture
genuinely dirty. Do not be afraid of
using soap and water on it as if it were
a plain painted article. Make a warm
suds and give the woodwork a good
rubbing, not wetting more surface,
however, than can be conveniently
dried almost Immediately. Mix one
pint of boiled linseed oil and half
pint of kerosene, then rub with this
the piece of cleaned furniture. 1t
needs plenty of elbow grease. Leave it
half an hour and give it second pol
ish, whereupon it will shine like glass.
After cleaning the pantry set small
Jar of lime in some shelf corner. 1t
will keep the room dry and make the
air pure. Repeat the same process for
the cellar, using lime in large proper
lions.
Sometimes, even after windows have
been carefully cleaned, there will be
an exasperating sprinkling of small
specks and streaks. You can generally
get the perfection of brilliancy by
cleaning the glass in the first place
with liquid paste made of whiting
and alcohol.
Sometimes there are stains on the
marble and in the basin of the bath
room washstand which resist soap
preparations. Scrub with dry salt
and cloth wrung from hot water
Then wash well with kerosene and
later with soap and water.
Rust on steel will generally yield to
paste made from fine emery powder
and kerosene. Rub the spots with this,
let it stand for several hours, then
polish with oil.
Dark spots in the kitchen floor
which hint of grease-spillinS at long
past date will generally disappear with
repeated applications of benzine. Do
not apply it when there is any light
around, and set doors and windows
open to allow the fumes to evaporate.

A QUESTION OF CONSCIENCE
He Couldn't Worship God COnscien-

A man was talking to his fellow
travellers in Pullman smoker.
"On one OCCASION" he said, II was
down in the mountains of Tennessee,
where everything is primitive, and on
Sunday l attended a Baptist church.
Much to my surprise and interest, the
women were seated on one side of the
house and the men on the other, !
had never seen anything of the kind
before, and after services were over
| spoke to one of the members about
it, as he was Ealar of the church and
a man l knew quite well.
"'We have always done it that way
he said in explanation.
"'But why?' persisted.
"'So's to worship God accordin' to
our own consciences. as the constitu-
ton pervides,' he replied, in matter
of course tone.
"'But sitting on opposite sides of
the church doesn't make any difference
with your conscience, does it,? !

Don't it?' he said, with emphatic
confidence in the knowledge that it
did. We'll, it makes all the difference
in the world. Do you mean to say that
man kin set over there alongside
NV his wife, where she kin nudge him
in the short ribs with her elbow every
time the preacher says anything she
thinks fits his case? / say, kin man
do that and worship God accordin' to
