RAPID TRANSIT
OFFERS A CUP

Manager Ballentyne, of the Rapid
Transit Company, has presented a
handsome silver cup to be contested for
by the senior football teams.
The conditions governing the cup
have not yet been definitely decided
upon.
This is just what has been wanted
for until Ballentyne offered his trophy,
there was nothing for the league clubs
to play for which the winner of the
championship might proudly possess as
a token of victory.
There have been any amount of base
ball trophies, but until this season
nothing has been offered footballers
worth mentioning.

ExaSperating Punctuality.

There are people who Conscientious
ly believe themselves to be the soul of
punctuality because they are always
FIVE minutes before the proper time.
a quarter of an hour before it is time
to go into the dining room for lunch.
It is the overpunctual-the "ante-
punctual''-host who is attacked by
brain fever and who sends his guests
to wait 20 minutes or more stamping
up and down a country station plat
form so as to prevent them from MISS
ing the train To be always five min
utes ahead of the clock is surely one
of the most exasperating forms of So
called punctuality imagiaable.-Lon-

HE TRIED 1T ON RICHARD.
Youthful Genius Finds Way to OBJ
viate Personal Risk in Sac
charine Investigation.

Miss Estelle Reel, the general super
intendent of the governments Indian
schools, was talking about cruelty, says
the Louisville Courier Journal
Cruelty" she said, lis lack of i'm
agination. 1t isn't true that only say
ages are cruel. All people without de-
veloped minds, minds capable of SYM
pathy, are cruel Children, till they
have learned to think, are often cruel.
Let me tell you about little boy, -
she said ITO this little boy there were
given two images of plaster coated on
the side with pink sugar. He wanted
o>eat the images, but was warned on no
account to do SO.
They are poison he was told. II
you eat them, it will kill you
However. the little boy was dubi.
Gus. He had been cheated before by
grown-up people. Day after day he
asked if he might not eat the images.
Finally he had a young friend, Richard
Howe, to spend the day with him, and
that night it was discovered that one CT
the images had disappeared.
His mother, nearly frantic, rushed to
him
Harold she said, where is that
pink image?'
Harold frowned as he answered, de-
family:
"1 gave it to Richard Howe, and II
he's alive tomorrow In going to eat
the other one myself"

Experiments Aimed at Making To-
bacco Smoking Less Injuri-
Gus Are Futile.

Many experiments have been made
for the purpose of rendering tobacco
harmless, some Investigators even going
so far as to take from tobacco large
portion of the nicotine. But in this case
all the aroma was also taken from the
weed and smokers emphatically de-
clared that they preferred straw.
Dr. L. Menard in Cosmos, Paris, says
that the different methods in use to
make tobacco harmless consist on the
one hand of putting the nicotine in
chemical combination with other SUBJ
stances, the net result of which is to
neutralize the bad products which re-
suit from the combustion, while, on the
other hand, we have arrangements for
filtering the smoke. For the latter pur-
pose various means have been en-
ployed, cotton, amianth, charcoal, etc.,
while to increase their activity these
products are impregnated with an acid
(sulphuric, phosphoric, citric) or with
a body which will precipitate the aka
loids of the solutions. All of these
methods, however, are unsatisfactory.
The acids sensibly affect the aroma Of
the tobacco and produce a sensation Of
dryness in the throat, while the reagents
Of the alkaloids are often poisonous and
should only be used with great care"
Dr. Menard, therefore. recommends a
new procedure suggested by M. Sontag
This consists in filteriRg the smoke
through cotton imWegnated with
perchloride of iron. process which may
be easily arranged for in all pipes and
cigar-holders. The filtration of the
smoke in this way diminishes consider
ably the proportion Of harmful SUBJ
stances which were originally present
in the smoke.

ODD DEVICES OF BANKERS.
Ingenious Dodges Resorted To When
Excited Subscribers Clamored
for Money.

Some amusing anecdotes are being
told of the devices resOrted to by bank
ers to gain time and inspire confidence
On one memorable occasion, relates an
exchange of that city, the excited sub
scribers of a Chicago bank, much to
their Indignation, were only able to en-
ter the bank one by one except at the
cost of spoiled coats, as the cute mana
ger had caused the doorpoSts to be fresh
ly painted.
Another bank prevented crisis in its
affairs by exhibiting in the windows
large tubs apparently brimful of SOW
ereigns These tubs, however, simply
were upside down, and only small
quantity of gold was piled up on their
bottoms.
But the most ingenious dodge of all
was successfully carried out in Buenos
Ayres recently. There was run on
large bank and for several days sub.
scribers besieged the premises, with
drawing money and placing it in an
other bank on the opposite side of the
road. 1t happened. however, that these
two institutions had private under
standing. and as fast as the 'safe" bark
received the deposits they were returned
to the unsafe one by an underground
passage, with the result that every one
marveled at it's continued ability to
meet it's demands

ONE CHANGE IN CITY LIFE.
Seldom Live Over Their
Stores.

What has become of the merchant
who used to live over his store?" asked
a business man of the head of a renting
agency which has been established in
this city for half century, relates the
New York Sun.
He has either retired or is dead"
was the reply. Il recall the time when
a business man in renting store asked
what the arrangements were for house
keeping over the store. l was young
man then, but my father always told
me to give an applicant of that sort the
preference He said he never knew a
merchant who lived over his store who
was not successful, and consequently
good tenant.
"The custom of merchants living over
their stores has not been observed in
this city for so years. l don't think it
was ever followed to any great extent
after business got above Chambers
street"

CENTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
Marked in Several Countries by Sa-
cred Stones Set Up by
Natives.

When the Japs captured Mukden
they found there the sacred black stone
Of the Manchu dynasty of Chinese.
This. says the New York World, is the
center of the universe, according to old
Chinese superstition. and added ven-
erability comes to Mukden from the
graves of the emperors near by.
The Do-ring in Lhassa. Thibet, is an
other center of the universe, which,
according to the Thibetan priests. is
shaped exactly like the shoulder blade
of a sheep. All distances are measured
from it. and it is very sacred.
Another center is the Kaaba in Mec-
ca, dirty black stone let into the wall
of the most sacred mosque and poll
ished every year by the lips of thou
sands of worshipers. The Arabic word
for stone, "Hagar," appears in Scrip
tural writings as proper name. The
Mecca pilgrimage is ''haj,' and those
who have taken it are known as
"Hadji.'
Even so sane a people as the an
cient Greeks came pretty near worship
ing a stone-the ''omphalos' or center
of the earth at Delphi. The Romans
set up stone of great consequence in
Rome, but for purposes of measure
ment, not worship, and so the London
stone of to-day is used.

DOLPHIN ACTS AS PILOT.
Special Act Of New Zealand Legisla-
ture Prohibits Interference
/ with EsPelorus Jack"

Pelorus Jack is the name OF an old
dolphin which is protected by special
act of the New Zealand legislature.
According to an Australian colonist,
Mr.. George Hayes, who sends an account
of the fish to Lloyd's Weekly, the ofnclal
proclamation of the government pro-
hibits any interference with PeloruS
Jack under a penalty of 810O.
Forty years ago, when MIR. Hayes first
emigrated to Australia, he heard an Old
sailors tale, according to which shoal
of dolphins grounded on the shores OF
Cook strait, and one of them escaped
into the sea. That one, which is now ac-
knowledged to be PelOrus Jack, never
left the locality where he lost his COM
panions, and, as Mr.. Hayes says, "he is
now protected by law as he has always
been by sentiment
The most remarkable fact of all is the
reason for the passage of the law, which
is that Pelorus Jack acts as most ef-
fective pilot, escorting all kinds of YES
sells in and out of the French pass, Cook
strait, always keeping to deep water.
For years he was believed to be
beluga, or white whale, but recent scien-
tiic investigation has shown that he Is
really a dolphin. AS he is never absent
from his duties, the proclamation has
been received with keen satisfaction
throughout Australasia by sailors who
have to use the French pass.

The little piece of honey.

The night he went away

I took the time to please him,
With hand upon his brow.

Such words as we deny them
Only because they live.

Come back to me, my darling,
And | will give you all!

asked me to do that, Norman, for the
sake of thousand dollars or ten times
a thousands"
"His own deliberate act imposed the
condition" was the sullen rejoinder.
Il bet that not one OF the others
turned up at the graveside-they stuck
close to their legacies."
Eyes; his brothers, Ebenezer, Hiram,
James, his sister Mary, all were abb
sent. 1t was the more fitting, there
fore, that I should be there"
"And you never thought of me-of

You know quite we'll that that money

morning; we talked it over; every
thing was settled. And now I come
here to find that all my efforts are un-
done"
In his agitation he had risen from
mis- seat, taken but moment before
at her bidding. She surveyed him
calmly: she spoke with gentle sadness,
but with none of the trembling ir-
resolution of the night before.
1.-TWO days ago, Norman. | should
