Fifth Avenue Like Village strset.
From the Plttsburg Dispatch.
There is not a single street In Goth
am that unbends so much on a sultfy
night as does that portion of Fifth
avenue lying between Forty-seconG
street and Central Park. The atmosf
phere of country or at least subur-
ban ease is contributed by the com
paratiyeIy large number of bareheaG-
ed women in white frocks one sees
in the avenue; by the, lounging atti-
tude OF the young men one sees In
the open hacks, and more particular
~ by the comparatively few men In
evening dress one sees through the
windows OF the smart restaurants.
Every one who walks, drives, or uses
the avenue lounges along in fash
ion more often to be seen in a village
street than on the most famous thor
oughfare in America, and even thu
soft brilIancy that streams from tho
curtainei windows and the open
docks of the all night bank does not
disturb the repose of the spectacle.
The final touch of relaxation is added
by the caretakers Of the dwelling
houses along the street, the men sit.
ting in the porches in their shirt
sleeves and their women folks in oil
wrappers, gossiptng With visitors Of
their own social rank and the idiing
policemen. 1t is Fifth avenue, to be
sure, but 1t might as well be street
In darkest Suburbia.

THE FIGHT FOR YOUTH.

1 have very little regard for the
fight against time which spends itself
on strife with gray hairs and wrin-
kles. There used to be a picture
published as an advertisement which
an elderly woman had one side of her
face all ironed out smoothly, while the
other was wrinkled and worn. The
wrinkled side was more pleasing. AS
we grow older every line in the coun-
tenance should tell story of loving
deeds. We are making for ourselves
in youth the masques we shall wear
to the very end. Every fretful, dis
contented, dissatisfied expression
writes itself upon the face, so that the
sweetest and ripest natures will have
she rarest lovelines when they grow
old. A woman is as old as she looks
and as old as she feels. A Asign of our
increased health and vitality today is
found in the fact that woman OF so
looks about as old as woman
formerly looked at IS, and many an
active woman of 80 has the vigor
that was formerly common at 90.
The milestones need frighten nobody.
Older people are no longer put in a
corner, nor are they expected to hug
the chimney corner. Itisa woman's s
obligation to be charming to her la
test day.-7He W0man's Home Com

SAVED BY COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

Speaking of runs on banks, said
the veteran story teller, reminds
me of story once heard of a bank
that was on the verge of going through
when a clever scheme of the cashier
saved it from utter ruin. And the
best of the whole thing was that in
saving the bank the cashier foated
a big issue of counterfeit money, and
the deception was never found ont.
Here is how the thing occurred: Some
of the bank directors and some of the
officers had been dabbling in stocks.
The crash came and when it did some
of the banks officials got their fingers
jammed. 1t looked to be all up with
the bank. The run began, and it
seemed as if the old bank would have
to close its doors forever. 1t hap
pened that the cashier had brother
who was a secret service man. This
brother had led raid on counter
feiters' den several days before, and
had secured several thousands of dol
lars worth of paper money, which
represented some of the most beauti-
full counterfeits ever seen in that terri
tory. He had placed in the bank box
used by himself and brother this mon
ey, which he was holding as evidence.
The cashier thought of this and
brought it into play. Figuring that
all the depositors who had large
amounts of money in the bank would
return it to the institution after the
rush was over, he paid all the claims
Of the big depositors with this class
of money, keeping record of those
to whom counterfeit money was given.
The bills were of large denominations.
No one tried to change any of them.
This money saved the day, and the
run on the bank ceased when it was
seen that all depositors were being
paid. When it was all over the cash
Ter went up to the men to whom he
had paid counterfeit money and sue
ceeded in getting them to again be-
come depositors. In that way he
succeeded in again getting possession
of all of the issue, and within week
had restored every one of the big
counterfeit bills to its place in his and
his brothers. bank box. Only the
president, vice-president and cashier
of this bank ever learned of the man
ner in which the institution was
saved"

Cuttem came together and thumped

seriously mopped the sweat from your

ter is still with me, but the liniment
you took away on your last visit. I
am expecting every day to have you

1t evidently costs money to be sick.
1t is luxury that only the rich can

filled with eggs in Missouri in Janu-
ary, on which the mother bird was
found frozen. Two or three broods
have been produced in season.
TENDENCY TOWARD MIGRATION.
There is a tendency among Bob
Whites toward local migration. In
Virginia and Maryland, particularly,
they leave their summer homes on
the approach of winter and congre-
gate near the large water courses.
The habit of the bird during the
hunting season is to move about most
actively and feed in the early morn
ing and late in the afternoon. The
best shooting is to be had the hour
before sunset in the places where the
birds have decided to spend the night.
They roost on the ground, forming
solid ring, with tails in and heads out.
The Bob White, as an ally of the
farmers, is chiefly valuable as de-
stroyer of weed seeds. Prof. Judd
made an estimate of what the Bob
White would accomplish in this line
for the farmers of the two states of
Virginia and North Carolina from
the beginning of September to the
end of April.
He allowed four Bob Whites to
each square mile of land, which is
low estimate, and would give 354,-
$50 in the two states. The crop of
each bird holds half an ounce of seed
and is filled twice a day. Since at
each of the two daily meals weed
seeds constitute at least half the con-
tents of the crop. half ounce daily
is thus consumed by each bird, and
on this basis the total consumption of
seed in the two states covering the
period mentioned would amount to
1,34I tons. A similar calculation
shows that $40 tons of destructive in
sects would be consumed by the birds
in the same period. The Bob White
eats the Rocky Mountain locust, the
chinch bug, the potato beetle, the
cotton boil weevil and cotton worms
and army worms.
The shooting rights are leased to
sportsmen, who pay considerable sums
for the privilege. In some places in
Maryland. Virginia and North Caro-
lima sportsmen pay from S to rs cents
for every bird shot. Millions of dol
lars can be realized by the proper
management of the quail crop of the
United States. No game is so much
sought for in the market as quail.
