Discovered the secret.

He is a young man with a blase air.
who would not let anything surprise
him for the world AS a matter Of
fact, he has travelled enough about
the States TO be impervious TO sur
prise. The other night was the ex-
ception, for when the young man
boarded the train which was to take
him to New York he found himself
on a compartment sleeper.
The young man knows about buck
ing bronchos and how to eat aspara
gus vinaigrettes, and what is the prop
er thing to say when you tread on a
n woman's gown. but he didn't know
about compartment sleepers, for he
had never been In one before.
He was very much attracted by the
prospect. however. and he looked
over the ground with great satisfaction
before getting ready TO retire.
This beats an upper berth all hol-
low" he muttered to himself.
Then, the porter passing near, he
called to that functionary. Come
here" said he, land tell me how to
turn this on" pointing to handle in
the wall near the wash stand. IL have
entirely forgotten how 10 screw the
thing and I'll be sure TO want II In

The porter came as near smiling as
4 porter ever does. "Yessir,' said he !;
"yessir, yo turn hit on dis way. Hits
not a water spickett yo' know; hits
a place to heat curling irons"
And after this the sophisticated
young man went straight to bed, but
he tells the joke on himself with much
glee. Baltimore News.

There Is scanting of average In
this, Ii is true, but II Is not very Sc
rlous Not so serious indeed. but that
anyone holding this table In his hand
and watching the children pour out
of any one of IA number OF school
houses In any city In the land is able
to subdue his apprehension that the
race, from lack Of recruiting agencies,
IL likely 10 run out. According to this
table, New England does not show
either the largest decrease In ten years
nor the smallest average size OF fam
lilies. In point Of fact, this decrease
In New England Is but two-thirds Of
per cent--a decrease In quantity
that, If II Is not made up in quality,
much educational effort has been
wasted in the past decade. In New
York the decrease Is hve-tenths of
per cent; in Pennsylvania. three
tenths; In Ohio, six tenths; In In
diana, seven-tenths: in Michigan. five
tenths; In Wisconsin, three -tenths: In
Iowa, six-tenths;. in Missouri, seven
tenths; in Kansas. fOur-tenths.
That is to say, the average size OF
families In New England is larger
than in New York, Ohio Indiana and
Michigan, and equal to that in Iowa
and Kansas. This reckoning repre-.
sents a labored process, but ii is rela-
lively valueless. 1t includes all races
and conditions, and has no bearing
upon the relative size Of families Of
long establishment in the country, and
those of later immigration. 1t is a
modern family table. nothing more.
Anyone good at figures and diligent in
delving into census returns can spread

henslve In the matter can come to 1t

SAFE OPENING TOOLS.
Implements Of which Burglar. New
er Even Get a Glimpse.

1--WE have tools for opening safes"
said the foreman of the machine room
of safe factory, that no burglar
could initiate even II he got them. But
It would be one of the most diffieult
things IN the world for him to get even
sight OF them. The tool room 10
guarded as closely as Il bank vault. A
Waterman stays In II all night. We are
very careful about employing our men.
They must give bonds and have the
best OF references. The chance Of a
burglar getting into our employ for the
purpose of learning our methods is
scarcely worth thinking about
Very frequently we have hurry calls
for man to open safe where the
time clock has gone askew or where the
clerk has forgotten the combination.
You can readily imagine that with a
bank or trust company 1t is an essen
tial thing to have the safe open before
business begins. When we send a
man out he takes a wagon load of tools,
for he must open the safe without ruin
Ing the lock, and he does not know pre-
photograph of himself with our cre-
dentials on it. Nor will he open the
safe while alone. Some bank official
must remain with him, no matter how
long the job takes. That is for our own
protection. Some very queer alleged
robberles have been charged to men
sent out to open safes.
''To mechanics in our business it is
laughable to read that full kit of bur-
glars tools has been found beside q
safe. As l have said, 1t would require
an express wagon to carry them, and
burglars don't work that way. If they
care TO take chances by blowing up a
safe with dynamite it is another mat
ter but those fellows nearly always
get caught.
"A police officer told me that burglars
make their own tools. The big crooks
are all spotted and are afraid to go out
and buy the material for them. Some
of them send their wives aud children"

Tbs Ancient QfxaIa.

In Rome a mans investtture Of bis
girdle showed that he was intent on
work OF some nature. When he took
1t Off and let his tunic fall 1t was pat
ent to all that business was over and
that he was free to speak TO his friends
at his and their leisure. Thus the CIR
die served a purpose-negattve la its
character, OF course, but Il purpose new
ertheless. Its sphere Of usefulness did
not end here. 1t WAS hgurattve OF
property. When a man or woman put
of his or her girdle it was a token Of
renunciation of some right or privilege.
The widow Of Philip l., duke OF Bur
gundy, for instance, renounced her
right of succession by putting OF her
girdle on the dukes tomb" Per con-
ira, the princes OF Ireland In taking
the oath of fealty TO King John, laid
aside their girdles, their skeans and
their caps. in the ceremony Of ex-
communication" says writer, the
bishop cut or tore away from the cub
prit the girdle that was about him
and the newly made husband in Rome
took from his wife the maiden gtrdle
of sleeps wool in which she was
bound up to the day of her marriage" J"

VALUE OF BABY'S CRY.
1t Helps to Make a Healthy Pair of
LunQs.

The early cry, which Is painfully try

Ing If she stops to think that the lungs
never having been used, need exercise
in order to make them strong. For the
first three months the infant Is too
weak, even with fair amount of cry

one-thlrd their normal capacity and
that these organs cannot be considered
perfect until they are Inflated to their
utmost is enough to make her tolerant
Of fair allowance OF crying. A year
or simple breathing would not accom-
plish as much toward developing the
lungs as a moderate amount of crying
each day for a month. 1t is the deep
inhalation. such as accompanies a good
cry, which alone can make the lungs
strong. Healthful infants cry normal
ly, and they should be allowed to do
SO portion of each day. When the
cry Is whining or continuous 1t is usu-
ally caused by overindulgence OF some
kind, or by mistakes, such as handling
the baby, when he is more comfortable
left alone. Too much entertaining
causes nervousness and cold extremi-
ties. which make necessary too many
wraps or too hot a room; this results In
discomfort and weakness and lack of
fresh air. Sleeping In bed with older
persons Is bad for a baby; 1t draws
upon the vitality. Indigestion is never
natural; 1t Is caused by overfeeding or
improper feeding.-Harper's Bazaar.

Structural Changes In Man.

Recent esearches have furnished
some startling facts regarding changes
which man Is at present undergoing
physically. 1t is believed that man
was formerly endowed with more teeth
than he now possesses. Abundant evil
dence exists that ages and ages ago hu-
man teeth were used as weapons of de-
Tense. The practice of eating our food
cooked and the disuse of teeth as weap-
ons are said to be responsible for the
degeneration that Is going on. In an
Client times a short sighted soldier or
hunter was almost an impossibility; to-
day whole nation is afflicted with de-
fectiye vision. 1t Is almost certain
that man once possessed third eye,
by means of which he WAS enabled to
see above his head The human eyes
formerly regarded the world from the
two sides of the head. They are even
now gradually shifting to more for
ward position. In the dim past the ear
flap was of great service In ascertain
ing the direction of sounds, and oper-
ated largely in the play OF the fea-
lures. But the muscles of the ear
have fallen into disuse, for the fear
OF surprise by enemies no longer ex-
lists. Again, our sense of smell is
markedly inferior to that OF savases.
That 1t Is stin decreasing is evidenc-
ed by observations of the olfactory

which Was the Guilty Ones

Shortly before Major j. B. Pond, tha
lecture bureau expert" was taken
with what proved to be his last illness
he was entertaining three friends in his
office at the Everett House when one
Of them, in commenting upon the ma
Jor's book, "fhe Eccentricities of Gen
ius," asked:
Major, you have at one time and
another known all the celebrities. Tell
me, what sort of comparison would
you make between Talmage and Mark
Twain"
THAT is rather difficult question to
answer" replied the major, with a
Dlischievous twinkle in his eyes. But
II you will promise not to ask me to
elucidate I'll say this: One OF them
lied only when he had to, and the other
lied whether he had to or not"
