It Was a Record Breaker.

Three fellow travellers in the smok. ing room of fast train were discuss ing the speed of trains.

 "That's nothing" said the second traveller; q remember riding in an ex. press on the and - that went at such a gait that the telegraph poles looked like a solid board fence.'
 The third man made an exclamation of impatience.
 "Ah, you fellows don't know what high speed on a railroad is. Why, travelled west from Chicago last month in train that went at such pace that when we passed some alternate fields of corn and beans they looked like sue. cotashw-Harper's Weekly.

Not Honor Men.

One of the characters of the old navy was Captain Perciyal, familiarly called Mad Jack" whose waggish and irascible saying not only amused his contemporaries, but are still going the rounds. At one time, says the New York Tribune, the son of one of his old friends was appointed mid shipman.
 As there was no naval academy in those days at Annapolis, the lad was drafted to Captain PercivaPs ship.
 The father wrote at once to his friend to announce the fact that his son was on shipboard, and after the usual parental recommendations to mercy, he closed his letter with:
 "My son has entered upon profess sion where he will go down to his grave, wept, honored and sung; or unwept, unhonored and unsung." The young midshipman had not been on board long before he aroused the wrath of hls commander, who at once sat down and wrote to the lads father:
 l. My Dear Sir. Your son is going to the grave unwept, unhonored and un- sung."
 At another time, when Captain Per cival was a member of the board for 1 the examination of candidates for midshipman's warrants, son of an- other friend came before the board. After the examination Percival, wish ing to announce the result to the boys father, wrote, with delightful implication:
 "Dear Old Messmate. Your boy has passed. Do you recollect our taking the Columbus out of dock? She just grazed."

ELUSIVE BANK BOOK.
One City Institution Counts Upon Five
 Day Being Lost.

Day Being Lost.
 "If we don't have at least five per sons every day come in here to give notice of their lost bank books. we think 1t unusual" said cashier of one of the city banks recently. T haven't any theories about 1t, but 1t is fact that there are twice as many of these books lost in the summer time as there are in the winter. "As soon as book Is reported lost check is made against it in the bank and the loser is requested to advertise the loss. For from fortnight to thir- ty days ensuing no money can be with drawn on that account, unless the book shall be found. If not found the de- positor must apply for new book. Generally an affidavit must first be made that the loser cannot find the book; that it has not been transferred or assigned.
 "Al this is scarcely necessary, but 1t makes bank absolutely safe in re- spect to that deposit, and it puts the depositor to enough trouble to make him or her careful thereafter. Every thing having been performed as out. lined, the depositor may get a new book, which means opening a new ac' count, as accounts are never dupli' cated.
 'In my experience of many years 1 do not racoII o oo Sa a x.,horo fipdara hava presented books in hopes of withdraw. ing money. It would be almost i'm. possible for a person not the owner of the book to withdraw cent on the account At the time of the original deposit the depositor, before getting a book, has to answer certain questions which are framed to fix the depositor's identity, and to protect the deposltor. The depositor must also leave an auto. graph on the bank register. Whenever money is withdrawn these questions must be answered and the autograph attached to an order. This is an ef- fectual test. Each book is numbered and bears the depositor's name.
 eve have been asked if depositors would not be better protected if banks omitted the name from the book and simply numbered it. We can see no advantage in that. The plan would not defeat the purposes of thief. for one who would steal bank book would know the name of the owner, and the withdrawal of deposits is SC we'll guarded that even with the own CTS name finder could not get mon- ey from the bank.
 "There are probably from 1,2OO to 1,500 books lost every year of which 400 or 500 eventually turn up. That means from onethird to two-fifths of 1 per cent of the whole number of books out disappear. and one-third of that number gets back to the owners. Where the rest go is d puzzle not to be solved. ."-Chicago Tribune.

Playing of Dixie Disastrous.

A distinguished retired general of the regular army, whose civil war service was brilliant, was seated on the lawn in front of his home the oth- CT evening in conversation with q crony, when an Italian with a street piano stopped in front of. the house. Before half of the first measure of "Dixie" had been played the retired general rose from his bench, and with out word to his crony walked into his house. The crony asked an ex. planation of his apparent prejudice.
 "When General Fitzpatrick was ope- rating down around Macon, tearing up railroads and such like,' replied the general, q was with him. I had charge of destroying the tracks. The Johnnies were in front of us, in plain sight, but they didn't bother us any. They contented themselves with fall ing back as we progressed with the pulling up of the rails and ties.
 "T'll tell you what you do,' General Fitzpatrick said to me. The boys al ways work faster and with a better will when there's music around. You take one of the mounted bands down to where the gangs working and give 'em some music.'
 "So l took mounted band to the point which we had reached in the tearing up of the railroad and told the leader to go ahead and pump some of the patriotic airs.
 "The music had the effect General Fitzpatrick had predicted. The boys did twice as much work under the inspir- ing strains of Hail, Columbia,' The Star Spangled Banner My Country and so on, and the Johnnies in front of us had to fall back good deal more rapidly than they had before tMe en- thusiasm of the boys had been kindled by the band music.
 "When the band had run out of pa triotic airs the leader approached me and asked for suggestions as to what the musicians should play then.
 "'Well, I said to the leader, those poor devils of rebs in front of us have behaved pretty well. They haven't even turned their sharpshOoters loose upon us. They ought to be rewarded. Suppose you just give them Dixie for luck.
 "Well," went on the veteran, ''the band hadn't wrung out more than six bars of that Dixie tune before our ears were numbed by the confoundest rebel yell you ever listened to in all your born days, and inside of two minutes those Johnnie in front of us were on top of us and trouncing the life out of us. s."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Woman of the Confederacy.


 brave man," declares Major Stiles in his book, -Four Years Under Marse Robert" He tells this story as an il- lustration of w0man's cOurage:, Dur ing the bombardment of Fredericks- burg he was sent into the town with message for General Barksdale. As he was riding down the street that led to the Generals headquarters 1t appeared to be so fearfully swept by artillery fire that he started to ride across it, with view of finding some safer way of getting to his destina- tion. Just then he happened to glance beyond that point and saw lone woman walking quietly and uncon- cernedly along the same street, and approaching General Barksdale's head quarters from the opposite direction. She apparently found very interest ing the projectiles which were scream ing and exploding in the air, and strik- ing and crashing through the houses, and tearing up the streets. She step. ped little aside to inspect a great, gaping hole which a shell had just gouged out of the sidewalk, then turn ed her head to note fearful explo- sion in the air.
 l felt as If 1t really would not do to avoid fire which was merely inter- esting and not appalling to woman, so stiffened my spinal column as well as could, and rode straight down the street. On reaching the house, I rode round back of 1t to put my horse where he would at least he safer than in front. When returned on foot to the front of the house, found that the woman had gone up on the porch and was knocking at the door.
 One of the staff came, and on see ing a woman, exclaimed in amaze ment, What on earth, madam, are you doing here? Do go to some safe place if you can find one.'
 She smiled and said, Young gentle man, will you please say to General Barksdale that lady at the door wish es to see him?"
 The young man assured her General Barksdale could not see her, but she persisted. General Barksdale is Southern gentleman, sir, and will not refuse to see lady who has called upon him."
 The General did come to the door, wringing his hands in excitement and annoyance. "For heavens sake mad am, go and seek some place of safety. I'll send member of my staff to help you find one."
 She smiled again, and said, "Gener- al, my COW has just been killed in my stable by shell. She is very fat, and 1 don't want the Yankees to get her. If you will send some one down to butcher her, you are welcome to the meat"
 Years afterward I delivered a Con. federate memorial address at Frede-- l icksburg, and when I told this incl dent I noticed increasing interest and something very like amusement among the audience, who had ceased to look at me. All eyes were turned in one direction. As l finished the story my eyes followed theirs, and there before me sat the heroine of the adventure, apparently not day older, and the entire audience rose and gave her three deafening cheers.

An Antl.sea.slek Vessel.

Lieut.. Turc, of the French navy, has
after much study devised plan for
a ship the passengers on which will,
as he imagines. be proof against sea
sicknesses. He has caught the idea
from the motion of swing. AS a
general rule, vessels are only set roll.
ing from ten to fifteen seconds at a
time, and as his would have "egular
swing of twenty-five seconds, he cal
culates that the effect of the waves
would thus be counteracted. NJ lures
model ship would be of about 5000
tons burden. and would sail at a
speed of nineteen knots. All the
cabins would be well out OF the water,
as they would be constructed on a
deck more than thirty feet above the
sea level.
