LEFT-HANDED BARRIERS.

been shaved by several of their class
in the past year. They have been
good BARRIERS, too, every one of them,
but no matter how well they knew
their business they always gave me
a bad turn, and every time they drew

life and l were about ready to part

fed. Other men whom ] have sound
ed on the subject have confessed
to the same weakness, and women
have told me that they have like
unexplained dread of left-handed
hairdressers. In the dressmaking
business, too. l am told, left

CONDUCTORS HONEST RAKEOFF
Takes In Many Coins with Prem u ms
on Them and Turns Them to
Good Account.

A conductor of Sixth avenue car,
during lull in the ringing of fares,
stood passing coins from one hand
to the other, turning up the date
Of each coin as he did so, relates the
New York Times. "There are more
ways of making money than by
knocking down fares" he remarked,
noting the inquiring look on pas
sengeEs face, ANY greenhorn can
pocket a dozen nickels in collecting
1870 fares in a car built for 4S pas
sengers, but man has got to know
something to spot coin that has
a premium value. It's surprising how
many more or less rare coins pass
current without falling into the
hands of some one who knows their
value. This was suggested to me
one day, and | took to studying the
catalogues of dealers in rare coins
and memorizing the dates of those
that are worth more than the prices
stamped on them. Since then | have
picked out Of the money | have taken
in fares several hundred coins with a
premium value ranging from few
cents TO five dollars, and have re-
deemed them with my own money

FOUL AIR IN RAILROAD CARS.
Something which Affords Experts ON
Ventilation an Opportunity to
Distinguish Themselves.

A great many people have a way OF
talking Of how sleepy travelling makes
them. They say that they cannot be
long in a railway train and remain
awake. This phenomenon is attrlb-
uted somehow to the act of travel
ing, but the plain fact is that it is due
to more or less asphyxiation, says the
Hartford Courant. The car needs not
to be in motion. 1t is enough TO enter
it and begin upon the experience.
Whoever does travel much has to be
struck with the shocking condition OF
the atmosphere in whatever car ne
may enter 1t is the first thing one
thinks of when he passes the door.
Then he looks about and sees how
many Of the passengers are dropping
in their seats, more or less doped, ana
all Of them used up.
Now the whole trouble is with the
ventilation of the car. There is no
other human habitation, not even the
theaters and the churches, that begins
to be so i'll or so little ventilated as
the railroad car. This is not right.
For much of the time the car is in mo-
ton, and there must be some easy
way to change the air in moving
chamber.
The closeness and discomfort of the
Pullman are attributable to the indi-
rect influence of the warm climate OF
Africa. That country is put IN con-
troll Of the car, and proceeds to estab-
fish the African climate there. But
other cars fare little better. They
are all of them devoid Of ventilation,
all Of them stuffy and unhealthy, and
all of them a discredit to the makers
and managers. There ought to be some
sensible crank on ventilation (most OF
the ventilation cranks are so ultra as
to escape the charge OF being sensible)
to open q reasonable agitation on the
subject that shall compel attention
to the present pernicious conditions
and secure improvement.

MAY COST 1T DEAR.
Pennsylvania University Likely to
Lose Big Donation.
Prof sommerviIIe Indignant because
Mnttings Were Removed from the
Entrance to Che Buddhist
Temple In Museum.

There are, or rather were, two pieces
of japanese mating in the free mu-
seums of the University of Pennsyl-
yana which are likely to cost that in
stitut.on some thousands of dollars.
On account of these mats Prof. Som
meryille, whose donations in past
years have enriched the university, has
altered his will and by codicil cut
rennsy sania out of handsome be-
quest.
These pieces of mating used to hang
at the entrance of the buddhist TEN
pie, which is part Of the Maxwell
Sommerville collection in the west
wing Of the museum. Prof. Sommer-
Vile, who holds the chair Of glypt-
ology and whose collection Of precious
gems which he recently donated to the
university is among the rarest in the
world, is also a deep student OF Bud.
dhism in Japan, and has built com
plcte temple in room to the moth Of
his collection of gems.
Concerning the eXactness of detail in
this temple the professor is justly
proud ant extremely particular. Moth
ing in the department is touched with
out his permission, and he is especially
careful that the curatOrs of other sec
tons Of the museum, such as the Amer
lean Indian and Malay archipelago col
lections, shall not NEEDLE with the
sanctity of his Buddhist reproduction.
Possessing such ideas on the subject,
his Indignation was great when he
returned recently after an absence OF
some time from the university and
found that the mating had been re
moved from the entrance. just who
took the strips away the professor
has not told, but there is a suspicion
that another section Of the museum
could tell if it wanted to.
The irate professor brooded over the
indignity for some time, and then de-
cdcd 10 change his will. He did this
he stated to friend, because he did
not think his work had been appre-
ciatcd. As Prof. Sommerville is a very
rich man and as his work has been
conferred in the university, it is ru-
mored that the bcqucst which the
codlciI wipes away was IA very large
one, too large, university men say, to
be sacrificed for couple Of pieces OF
mating.

ICONOCLASTS IN HAVANA.
The City's Old Landmarks Are Civ
ing Way to Many Modern linz
prOvements.

The city of Havana is rapidly being
made modern city in such way that
it will soon be so that the many sights
which draw tourists from the United
States to Cuba will be removed, says a
correspondent of the Baltimore
American. The old landmarks, such as
the old city walls, which are always a
sight of great interest to all tourists
as showing old Spanish architecture,
and are almost worth their weight in
gold to the city as drawing cards to
tourists, are fast being removed, and
the stone sold for mere pittance to
contractors. AT the present time the
old city wall at the Punta and it's sur.
roundings known as Lon Fosos, where
the reconcentrados of Gen. Weyler
were herded together, are being re.
moved. This always used to command
the attention of tourists, and none ever
left the city without insisting on see
ing the Fosos. Now nothing remains
of the place but a modern driveway,
a thing that can lA seen in every mod.
ern city in the United States. The
old city walls between Zulueta and
Monserrate street are also being rap
idly removed and being sold for build.

ORIGIN OF "CHESTNUT."
The Term May he Traced to Edwin
A. Abbey, the Celebrated
Portrait Painter.

The word "chestnut" as an express
sive bit of slang has been of doubtful
origin ever since It was first intro
duced into the English language a
dozen or fifteen years ago, and, al
though the Century dictionary gives
it place, and numerous explanations
have been offered in extenuation of its
existence as a credited word, its origin
has ever been in doubt, says the Phila-
delphia Record. According to Phila-
delphia art patron the use of the word
as typifying a passe story may be
traced to Edwin \. Abbey, the artist,
who, since studying at the academy
Of fine arts in this city, has arisen to
the prominence of painting a picture
of the coronation of King Edward VII.
at the kings command. After leaving
Philadelphia for New York Mr.. Abbey
was a prominent member of the Tile
club, and at the meetings he always
told the same story. 1t was point
less story about a man who had a
chestnut farm, who never made any
temptation to give his crop away. Mr..
Abbey always began this story in a
different way, but would gradually
lead up to it until his hearers would
recognize it and cry: "Chestnuts!"
And in that way, according to the art
patron, the word gradually assumed
its slang significance.

NEW ELECTRIC SIGNAL.
Steamships ITO lie Equipped with Sys-
tenn " hich VIII Facilitate Conn
munications at Night.

Arrangements have been completed
by which the steamship Deutschland,
Of the llamburg-American line, will be
equipped with a system of electric
night signals, which, it is said, will
show any letter or number so viSibly
that it can be seen for five or six miles
at sea. The inventors assert that not
only does it offer better signal facili-
tics than the flare light and lantern
system now in use, but that it also
records every signal which is trans
mitted.
The system is an expansion Of the
electric carriage signals now in use
at the metropolitan opera house, New
York, and, like its predecessor, is the
invention Of Mortimer Norden. an cleo
trical engineer Of New York. The sig
nal board viii be placed on each side
Of the grillroom roof of the Deutsch-
land, and the letters and figures will
be ten feet high. It is asserted that
with the aid Of the night glass the sig
mails will be visible for nearly seven
miles.
In describing his invention, Mr. Nor
den said. at is many times quicker
than the other methods now in use,
and opportunities for mistakes are
greatly lcsScned. One adyantakc which
was quickly recognized by the steam
ship companies was the value Of the
records Of signals which can be kept.
Such records would put n stop to all
lengthy disputes over questions
whether or not certain signals had
been sent"

DOCTOR TURBIN, 1903 Randolph St., Chicago ILL., e.


A recent report from United States
Consul Mansfield at Valparaiso does
not convey a favorable impression of
the progress of mechanical science in
Chilli. Most of the vehicles used in
that country, he says, are primitive in
design and crude in construction
Clumsy two-wheeled carts, in most in
stances without springs, are general
ly used. In the country districts oxen
draw the carts, the yokes by which
the animals are attached resting on
their heads just back of the horns,
where they are fastened by strips of
rawhide. AS their heads are deprived
of freedom of action the oxen some
times suffer torture from the Earring
Of the heavy carts. Carts similar in
design, but lighter, and furnished with
shafts, are drawn by horses in the
cities. In town and country alike,
goods are commonly transported on
the backs of horses and mules

VIRTUES OF THE ESKIMO DOG.
An Invaluable servant and Food he
serve to the People OF the
Frozen North.

or the Eskimo dog | could write a
book. In all probability descended
from the wolf, it is the Eskimo's one
domestic animal, but is Of as much
value to him as all the domesticated
animals Of more favored races put to-
gcther, writes Commander Robert f..
Peary, in Leslie's Monthly. 1t drags
him and his family and their chattels
from place to place, hauls to his door
the meat of seals or walrus; leads him
with uncrring scent to the tiny ori-
flee in the snow, which indicates the
breathing hole of seal; drags him
for miles in pursuit of the bear, and
finally brings the huge brute to bay;
rounds up the musk-oXen till his mas
ter can come up for the kill, and then,
perchance, in the darkness Of some
long winter night, when the hand of
hunger grips the settlement relent-
lessly, he yields up his life to feed
his master and his family, and his
coat to keep them warm.
Though mixed now with other
strains, so that black and reddish and
spotted dogs are to be seen as well
as the pure-blooded grays and whites,
this animal stil retains to a large
degree the strength, endurance and
fierce lust for blood when in pursuit
Of game that characterizes its wild
ancestors. Combined with these traits
are an intelligence and faithfulness
that make many of these animals the
peer of any of their more favored
brothers in more genial climates.

ALMOST A NONDESCRIPT.

nondescript. There is never the in

would be if he were free or without
domestic entanglement. From the
start they know what his trials are
to be. They know he has all he can do
without having the attentions of high
err officers directed to his struggles.
They do not take the same interest
in his advancement, because they
know full well there is the weight Of
outside cares that will interfere with
the single interest which every com
handing officer desires in the career
Of the young officers, says Town Top
les. 1t is enough that they learn first
how to be soldiers without learning
at the same time how to be husbands.
They think one boss" is enough for
the little lieutenant. The orders of
one are bound to conflict with the or
ders of the other The military boss"
will not go TO the domestic boss to see
that orders are carried out, but the
domestic boss never hesitates for
minute to go to the highest ranking
general il she feels that her rights
are troddcn upon. 1t is sometimes
very wonderful. the colossal courage
OF the young wife who is just learn
ing military discipline. She dares to
do and TO say what the older cam
paigncrs never dream Of doing or
saying And that is another block in
the career of the infant officer.

ONE MANS HOBBY.
He Thinks That No Child should BE
Given More Than One Name and
Gives Reasons.

81 have a friend. most amiable
and accomplished man, who has a
hobby that he seems never to tire
Of" said Mr.. w. A. Villiers, of New
York, to a Washington Post re-
porter. His hobby is that no child
should be given a double name. lie
says that two given names are not
only unnecessary, but positive
handicap in the battle of life. He
will talk all day long on this head If
he can only get an auditor, and will
reinforce his argument by instancing
departed great ones who only bore
one name.
George Washington, Thomas Jeffer-
son, James Madison, Alexander Hamil-
ton, benjamin Franklin, and scores OF
others, are cited to prove that the
single name suffices, and that in fact
it is vastly to be preferred. A man
who is very much in earnest and
who can make good presentation
of his cause never lacks disciples,
and so my friend has created an i'm.
preston in his circle of acquaint-
ances by reiteration of his theory.
In fact, not long ago quite worthy
citizen, who fell under his spell, be-
came convinced of the danger of the
double name and concluded to elimi.

doubt are waiting to see if any good
