Situation Improving.

Currency conditions in Birmingham are steadily improving, said an officer of one of the state banks. Savings deposit tors are fast recalling their notices of withdrawals; everybody who has reason for wanting cash can get it if his ac- count is good for what he checks for.
 Presumption of business on a currency basis is coming along gradually and everything will be normal before we know 1t.
 Business promises to be fairly good next year, but 1t should be conducted on conservative lines until after the presi- dential election"

DEVICE FOR MOTORISTS.
From the New York Herald's Paris Ed

From the New York Herald's Paris Edi-
 ton.
 One of the novelties of the exhibition is an apparatus for registering the quan- tity of petroleum in the reservoir, and is exhibited by M Louis Guttman. ' The machine is called the Maximall and is of German manufacture. It consists of a dial fixed on the dashboard and a tube placed vertically in the essence tank with a fioater within. The hand of the dial is connected with the fioater by means of cord. As the level of petroleum in the tank increases or decreases, the floater rises or falls. and the hand on the dial correspondingly records the con sumption. The device is useful to auto mobilists when touring. It can easily be fitted to any automobile.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,

From the New York Press.
 There is nothing cover than maiden except a widow.
 The way for girl to think she can love a man is for everybody else to think she oughtn't to.
 The way to compliment your wife on the meals she gives you Is to make fun of other woInens.
 Unless man loses his temper in a political argument he doesn't feel he Is being loyal to his party.
 Half the fun to woman of having a good cry is for somebody else to be there and enjoy it with her.
