When Japanese Ladies Travel.

Japanese ladies, on entering rail- roea 5g in their native country, drop their little shoes on the floor, then step onto. the seat, double their feet under them and sit on them. Tn this position they ride to their destination, occasion ally lighting their little. pipes, each of which contains only enough tobacco to make about three whiffs of smoke.

a Check Eight Feet Long.

It is a fortunate thing Tor the
employees and officials of the
banks that checks measuring
eight feet by four are an excep-
ton of great rarity and not the
rule. If checks of that size should
come in general use, it would ne
cessitate a complete remodellng
of every bank office. A check
of that size was recently dellv-
cred to the trustees of the Cath
Ollie University of America by the
Knights of Columbus as their con-
tribution toward the establish
ment of a new chair in the fac
ulty.
