Sign of a Trained Nurse,

II used to wonder why it was that
noticed so many young women Juggling
suit cases all over town." said the mar
On the street corner. "At first thought
perhaps they were independent young
persons who were Oh their way to the
Grand Central station or to the ferry
boats to take trains. but then no.
decd them in parts Of the town where
they couldn't possibly be making for
a railroad station, since they were 60
Ing in the wrong directions Now
have learned who these women are.
Most Of them are trained nurses. When
they leave the hospitals or their homes
to attend case they pack their uni
forms and other necessaries in these
suit cases, which they carry with
them. So when you see a young won-
an carrying suit case and bound in a
direction away from boat or railroad
station it's very likely she's trained
nurse and is either starting out to at
tend case or is returning from one."

New and Old Bank Bills.

! According to the Washington Post,
quoting a cashier, bank officials do not
prefer fresh new bills to old ones.
Everybody doesn't care for new
greenbacks," said a cashier. 1T is
common idea that bank tellers do not
care to give up crisp paper money. AS
a matter Of fact, nine cashiers out Of
ey cry ten try to get rid Of new money
as quickly as possible after receiving
it. There Is grave danger to the aver
age paying teller in handling unused
money. New bank notes stick togeth-
er. Frequently the ink is not thor
oughly dry. During our rush period
we handle great deal of money. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world to make
mistakes with new bills when in a
hurry to relieve a long line Of waiting
patrons. When possible we give out
the new bills during hours when there
Is no rush. I'd rather pay out mil
lion old bills than a hundred new
ones"

SUBSCRlPTlON.--S5.OO PER ANNUN
RistOri's Too Grateful Soldier.

During Ristori's first engagement at
Madrid an elderly woman one night
gained access to her dressing room and
,tearfully begged her intervention on
behalf Of her son, young soldier con-
demned to death for serious breach
Of discipline. At the close Of the per
Torrance Ristori was presented to
Queen Isabella, made the required ap'
peal and obtained the young mans
free pardon, perhaps because it gave to
the queen the opportunity Of mot
that she was certain the actress had
never before played in tragedy with
such happy ending. Some years later
Ristori again visited Madrid. During
the first performance soldier among
the audience made disturbance, was
elected only after severely damaging
a number Of policemen and was sub
sequently sentenced to long term of
Imprisonment. He proved to be Rls-
tori's former protege, who, hearing Of
her return, had come to the theater IN
order to renew his expression Of graft
tude. Unfortunately he had drunk her
health too enthusiastically beforehand,
with the result that he finally owed
her not only his life, but free board
and lodging for several years into the
bargain.-London Truth.

The Endless Procession.

A myriad Of men are born. They la
Dor and sweat and struggle for bread;
they squabble and scold and fight; they
scramble for little mean advantages
over each other; age creeps upon them;
infrmities follow; shames and humilia-
tons bring down their prides and their
vanities; those they love are taken
from them, and the JOY Of life is turn
ed to aching grief. The burden of pain,
care, misery, grows heavier year by
year; at length ambition Is dead, pride
Is dead; vanity Is dead; longing for re-
lease Is in their place. 1t comes at
last-the only Imprisoned gift earth
ever had for them-and they vanish
from world where they were Of no
consequence; where they achieved moth
Ing; where they were mistake and
failure and a foolishness. There they
have left no sign that they have ex-
lsted-a world which will lament them
a day and forget them forever. Then
another myriad takes their place, and
copies all they did, and goes along the
same proftless road, and vanishes as
they vanished-to make room for an
other, and another, and million other
myriads, to follow the same arid path
through the same desert and accom-
plish what the first myriad and all the
myriads that came after it accomplished
-nothing.-From Mark Twain's Auto
biography in North American Review.

Reasener steel.

The so called bessemer process OF
making steel by injecting air blasts
into molten iron was discovered first
by an American named Kelly and
known as his air boiling process. After
the ironworkers had seen it done they
still would not believe it. "Some crank
will be burning ice next thing they
said. Some of his customers when
they heard about it wrote Kelly that
they wanted their iron made either in
the regular way, and not by any new
tangled method, or not at all. When
the first blast was so strong that it
melted the iron the spectators roared
with laughter at what they called
"Kelly's fireworks and laughed for
ten years at his folly" When Besse.
mer introduced his process to the Brit
1sh ironmakers they, too, roared with
laughter at the "crazy Frenchman"
and would not allow the ''silly idea'' to
be mentioned in their records. The
steel rail proposition excited only de-
rision. "Bosh! Stuff! Humbug! Nom
sense" said the railroad directors
when it was proposed to them. But
after one road had tried it the steel
mills could not keep up with the or.
ders sent in.

Colors Of the Bluebird.

OF the male bluebird Thoreau said,
HE carries the sky on his back" To
this John Burroughs added, land the
earth on his breast" The birds back
wings and tail, chin and throat are a
vivid blue, while his breast and TANKS
are a chestnut brown and his abdomen
q dirty white. The female is very much
duller in coloring, often having a red
dish tone that extends from the middle
Of the back over the shoulder. The
Seminole Indians say that the male
bluebird once flew so high that his
back rubbed against the sky, which
Impaired to him it's own azure tint.
