DISCOVERED THE SECRET.
Feminine Convenience About which
the Young Man Knew
Nothing ut All.

He Is young man, with blaze
air, who would not let anything sur
prise him for the world. AS a mat
ter of fact, he has travelled enough
about the states to be impervious TO
surprise. The other night was the
exception, for when the young man
boarded the train which was to take
him to New York he found himself
on a compartment sleeper, relates the
Baltimore News.
The young man knows about buck
ing bronchos and how to eat asparagus
vinaigrettes and what is the proper
thing to say when you tread on q
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 satisfac-
ton before getting ready to retire,
This beats an upper berth all hol-
low" he muttered to himself
Then the porter passing along. he
called to that functionary: "Come
here said he. land tell me how to
turn this on" pointing to a handle
In the wall near the washstand. 81
have entirely forgot how to screw the
thing, and I'll he sure to want it in
the morning"
The porter came as near smiling as
a porter ever does. "Yessir," said he
"yessir, yo' turn hit on dis way. Hits
not a water spickett, yo' KIN W, hits
place to heat curling irons"
And after this the sophisticated
young man went straight to bed but
tie tells the joke on himself with
much glee

NAVIGATING THE AIR.
Tho Best of Atrships Yet Invented Is
Far short of Complete
Success.

Impressive as the achievements Of
the Lebaudy airship unquestionably
are, the claim Of practical value for
such a machine is still far from dem
onstrated, says a London exchange.
This particular combination of bal
loon and suspended motor was made
with great care and without regard
for expense. The power is supplied by
an engine Of the very latest type, and
Of weight that few years ago would
have been regarded as amazingly
small. As whole, the airship prob
ably represents tho very best thing
Of the kind that could be made. 1t has
proved itself dirigible across and
against breeze, and it has carried two
passengers from and back TO its point
of departure, around a circle nearly
25 miles In circumference. But how
often can It do this, and how strong
are the winds with which II can sue
cessfully contend2 A cylindrical bal
loon more than $50 feet long Ia Of ne
ccssity extremely fragile, and any one
of uumberleSs accidents to It would
almost surely be fatal to the bold oc-
cupants Of the basket. Despite the
actual journeys made by the Lebaudy
machine, the air is still TO be conquered,
and the victory will be won by means
OF contriyances very different from
this one. That the machine Is a wide
departure from the bird form is moth
ing against IT; ships are as wide de-
parture from the fish form. The ire
mediable fault OF all such airships IL
the disproportion between motive
power and the area of the surface to
be moved through the air, itself IN al
most constant and very often rapid,
motion The bird, by comparison,
uses vastly greater energy than Is
commanded by NJ. Lcbaudy with his
best motor, and yet the bird has no
strength to spare in times OF emer-
gency.

RHODE ISLANDS PRICED BIRD.
Tho Osprey, or Fishhawk, Gets As
Much state Protection as Do
Short Lobsters.

The author of recently published
novel. the scene of which is laid in
Rhode Island, refers to the fishhawk
as Rhode Islands bestowed bird"
Perhaps that is q true assertion, al
though the succulent turkey comes in
for fair share Of the esteem bestowed
by this little state on the feathered
tribe, while Mrs. McNally's hen is un-
questionably Rhode Islands most dis
tinguished bird, says the Providence
Journal. Not to bubble, however, 1t
may as well be admitted that the fish
hawk is popular bird In Rhode Island,
and in all likelihood no other species
which flies gets as much protection at
the hands of the state as does his
majesty. The statute forbidding his
molestation In or out of the breeding
season is as rigidly enforced as that APP
plyinS to short Holsters.
When the fshhawk, which likewise
boasts the more poetic name Of osprey,
is rearing a brood of young birds 1t Is
his busy season, with himself and q
nestful of gaping youngsters to pro-
vide for, and 1t keeps both father and

supported on a limb of great pine
tree, mass of sticks, leaves and rub
bish, which the birds have collected
for home. They are as little particu-
lar where they build as to the material
which they combine into their house,
and the top of an electric light pole
or the steeple of n church is as accept
able as the breeziest tree which ever

sound Is a fishhawk's nest In the
strangest place Of all. Not far from
the imaginary lines bounding Rhode
Island, Connecticut and New York,
there runs into the sound long reef,
which is marked mile or so from
shore by spindle. The end sticking
above the surface Of the water for ten
or dozen feet bears a basketlike ar
rangement, which has struck fish,

home and there It is rearing this sum-
mer, as 1t has for several seasons past,
flock of hungry young birds. The
wind always blows around the spindle,
but the waves never leap high enough
to threaten the nest, and for miles, at
the osprey's front and back doors,
stretches the ocean, teeming with the
fish on which 1t preys. A more desir-
able loca tion for such a habitation II
would be almost impossible to find,
No other fishhawk need apply, how

CHAMPION MONEY COUNTER.
Pittsburg Bank Clerk Who Frequent
ly Handles Half a Million
Dollars Day.

A unique sporting contest took place
In this city few days ago and it re-
suited in the bestowal OF the title OF
champion money counter upon re-
markably gifted young bank clerk only
20 years old, says Ptttsburg report.
w. H. Jolly holds the new cham
pionship and, though the title rests
on the recent speed test, he is perhaps
equally entitled to it on account OF his
daily work in the Peoples national
bank of Pittsburg.
There he frequently sorts and counts
100000 in money Of mixed denomina-
tions during the working day.
The money-counting race was held
under the auspices of the Pittsburg
chapter of the American Institute OF
Bank Clerks. The sport that is also
a science furnished some thrilling con-
tests and they attracted the particular
interest of the young men whose bust
ness is the handling of specie. Mr.,
Jolly came out an easy victor in the
tournament.
Counting money fast and accurately
Is made science in the great banks,
where hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars are counted every day and where
the work has to be done with speed and
absolute accuracy. 1t is not every
body that has opportunity to get up
the wonderful speed that Champion
Jolly has. Those who have enough
A. l., 20 a
skillful if they practiced counting 1t
as 1t came to them usually hire others
to do the counting while they devote
their attention to making more money.
Theater treasurers and store cash
iers count large sums of money, but
they do not work at it continuously,
as some cashier tellers do, and con-
sequently there is no class that has
the speed of bank clerks in counting
money.
"The reason some of them lost was
because they were nervous" said Mr..
Jolly, speaking of the contest OF which
he was the winner "When a man is
nervous he cannot count money accu-
rately or fast. They were nervous be-
cause they were working before a
crowd l don't think l was nervous
at all, and that Is the reason I won"
Mr.. Jolly started in as a messenger
three years ago, and was promoted.
When he started learning to count
money some of the others would get
around him and count aloud for a lit
tie while and then they would inten-
sionally count wrong out loud so as to
throw him out and make him miss
his count. 1t used to do 1t every time.
1t is an old trick In banks. But Mr..
Jolly determined that he would learn
to count correctly in spite Of the other
fellows, and he did.
Gold can be counted faster than pa
per money when the money is of about
the same denominations" said Mr..
Jolly. II have counted 100000 in gold
in SIS, $40 and $50 pieces in an hour and
a half. ! have counted $150,000 in pa
per currency in three hours, the money
being SIS, $40, 500, $50 and 500 bills.
This is twice as long for counting only
so per cent. more money in paper, and
guess most bank tellers find about
the same difference"
