GREAT AT DOMINOES.
-CanaIboat Men of New York spend
Much Time at That Game
and Checkers.

Piled in the middle of one South
street show window, in the midst Of a.
display of stationery, fishing lines,
fish hooks and SO on, was a big stack
of boxes of dominoes. Who wants
dominoes, and SO many of them, down
here? Why, the boatmen, the canal
boatmen; for the store in whose win
dow these dominoes were seen is down
at the lower end of South street, near
the big East River canalboat slips,
where many boats are coming and GO
ing daily in the summer and where a
hundred boats or more lay up in the
winter; and the boatmen are great
domino players, says the New York
Sun.
Years back" the salesman says,
.'they used to play doninoes on the
canal even more than they do now. In
those days cards were forbidden on
many boats by captains who were also
owners, God-fearing, Christian men,
who thought card-playing was bad any
way, and that it led to other bad hab-
its, and who wouldn't permit card-play-
ing on their boats. But the men had to
have something to do to while away
the time with, and they turned to DOM
inoes and checkers.
ssThe boatman's time for play is
when he is towing up the North river
on the way to the eastern end of the
canal at Troy, and towing down from
there on the way to New York.
TITS 36 hours up, and not more than
two or three hours less than the tow
ing down. And during that time, with
everything going smoothly there's
absolutely nothing to do.
Sever see a big tow of canal boats
creeping along slowly, up or down the
river, on Riverside drive? It's when
the boats are going along like that, in
tow on the Hudson, that the boatmen
have time to play dominoes.
son the canal, what with steering
and driving, there's plenty of work for
all hands all the time; but on the river,
in tow, there's nothing to do.
ssAnd here the boatmen play domi-
noes and checkers by the hour. Boat
of which they have invented them
selves, and, of course, they are expert
domino players, and as for checkers,
some of the best checker players in the
world would be found among the canal
boatmen.
Occasionally some boatman goes
up and takes a fall at checkers out of
the automaton chess and checker
player at the Eden Musee; and more
than one canal boa tman has been able
to make a good report on himself on
his return to South street after such
an expedition.
"Of course, there was always more
or less card playing on thecanal, and in
comparatively recent years there has
come to be more then formerly. Cards
are not looked upon anywhere as they
used to be years ago, or rather they are
not prohibited to anything like the
same extent they once were.
SIN plenty of families where in old
times cards were never allowed, they
let the: children play card games now,
and this change of feeling applies on
the canals the same as it does every
where.
"But among the boatmen there are
still many who play dominoes; and so
there's. a regular demand for them as
an article of sale; which accounts for
your seeing such bunch of them
stacked up here, where you might
never have expected to see them, in a
store window at the lower end Of
South street,

HARD ON BACHELORS.
Argentine Republic Doesn't Con-
slider Them Very Desirable.

A stringent law against bachelors
has recently been promulgated in one
of the states forming the Argentine
republic, states the London Express.
A man is manageable in Argentina
when he is twenty. If, from that date
and till he passes his thirtieth birth
day, he wishes to remain single, he
must pay S. month to the state. For
the next five years the taxes increases
100 per cent.
Between thirty-fve and fifty the
bachelors is mulcted to the tune of $40
month. From his fftieth year to
seventy-fve, $500 month is the tax,
but having reached the seventy.fifth
year, the tax is reduced to $40 year.
After eighty man eau remain single
without paying anything.
There is a paragraph relating to
widowers, who are given three years
in which to mourn and pick q sue
cessOr.
A man who can prove that he has
proposed and been refused three times
in one year is also considered to have
earned immunity from taxation.
1t is said that the law works like
charm.

WAISTS FOR MEN.
Latest Fashion a Great Hardship
for the COrpuIent.

Gentlemen of comfortable girth will
learn with something approaching dis
may that waists" are now indispensa-
BILE if they would be regarded as well
dressed, says the London Daily Mail.
For over half a century waists have
been an almost unknown quantity
among men. Their studied cultivation
has been limited to the sex whom they
best suit. But now fashion has issued
the fiat that the masculine waist must
be compressed and that hips must be
padded.
The situation is beset with obvious
difficulties. Men have ignored their
waists. They have been allowed to
develop within limits at their own will.
Then suddenly the order is issued that
a slim, genteel meridian is absolutely
requisite for the proper wearing Of
autumn and winter clothing. Let him
expend never so lavishly in tailors'
bills, no man can hope to be stylishly
attired if his waist does not taper tri-
angle fashion from the shoulders.
West end tailors have had an anX-
ious, worrying time since the new order
was promulgated, and many gentlemen
of athletic disposition. despite their
invisible waists, have tried TO discover
the identity of the men who originated
what they naturally regard as an in
sensate and ridiculous fashion. Others
of more practical turn of mind have
visited the cOrsetiers.
The fashion amounts tora return to
the days of the handles.

SMALL THINGS NOT DEspIsED
Radical Change in the Business
Ethics of Banks,

A writer in the Philadelphia Led
ger notes radical change in the bust.
ness ethics of the banks. Some years
ago it was the custom for the banks
to open the doors and wait in dignified
reserve for the people to come in and
do business with them-just as the
doctors do at present. But the banks
have 'outgrown that sort of thing,
especially in the larger cities. 1t is
true that they do not advertise as
extensively as do the dry goods and
clothing stores, but use many devices
and expedients TO attract business to
their counters. "There was time, "
SAYS the Ledger's writer. when it was
difficult for man of small means to
open d bank account on which he
could draw by check. Now even
the largest banks are beginning to
welcome small accounts. The Presi-
deut of one of the three largest New
York banks says that he regards small
accounts as an element of strength to
bank. A multitude of them creates
large sum, which the banks can rely
upon to greater extent than it can
upon a deposit of $500, 600, which may
be drawn st once at the moment rates
for credit advance to a point which
would make it profitable for the de-
position to make direct loan"
Among the expedients that are be-
ing employed in number of cities to
induce people to save money and make
savings deposits in a small iron safe,
the key of which is retained by the |
bank sending it out. The safe has a
slot into which coins and bills may be |
placed; but the small safe must be
taken to the bank to be opened. At
stated intervaes the small safes are
sent in, their contents are extracted !!
and the depositors are credited with
the amount in their pass books. The
