Saved With a Lasso.

Jacob Levin, seaman Of the British
ship Samoena, which has arrived from
Hamburg, was saved in a thrilling
manner from death by drowning
shortly before the end of the voyage
says a San Francisco dispatch to the
Chicago Record Herald.
The Samoena was plowing her way
through the Pacific. The watch on
deck was busy, and Levin was out
on the jibboom bending on a jib. A
lurch of the ship, a miscalculated
grab, and Levin was in the water,
right under the win hammers nose.
The cry Of Man overboard!" called
all hands to the work Of rescue. Some
cleared away boat for launching,
others stood by the braces awaiting
orders, while the mate, life preserver
in hand, climbed the poop rail the
better to see where to throw the circle
of cork. This was all according to
regulations and evidence Of good dis
cipline, but it was not what saved
Levin.
A sailor who should have been
somewhere else grabbed line when
the cry of "man overheard" told of a
shipmate in distress. AS he ran to the
rail he coiled the line and made a
running moose in one end. Jumping
into the main rigging, he peered over
the side, and right below him, the
ship slipping past him like railroad
train, was the gasping levin. A few
swings, a gentle throw and the moose
dropped around Lewin's shoulders.
The line frightened with the headway
of the ship, and Levin was safe in
the hempen blight. His shipmates
hauled him on board, and after spit
ting out the surplus water. Levin re-
turned to his work on the jibboom.
From the time he fell overheard until
he was safely on deck again just three
minutes elapsed.

Ironical Honesty.

The whip fiicking hero of this story
had driven an irascible old fellow a
good three journey in the metrop-
oils. When the fare climbed stiffiy
out and slowly produced a big pocket
book, cabby drew deep breath and
prepared to be sarcastic. A watchful
constable standing near prevented all
thought of his relieving his feelings by
the use of picturesque terms.
Cabby watched the fare make a
lengthy mental calculation Of the dis
tance he had been driven, select the
exact legal fare, count 1t twice over,
and then proffer 1t to him with an ex-
preston on his face plainly indicative
of Now then, you dare dispute 1t and
I'll take your number!"
But cabby didn't dispute it. In
stead, he promptly accepted it, but
slipping his hand into another pocket
he produced farthing, which he
handed to the fare.
What's this for?" demanded the old
fellow.
"One farden, currint coin O. the rel
lum. sir" said cabby, gathering up his
reins. Il druv yer jest the exact dis
tance represented by arf of that there
shekel under the three mile you reck-
oned. amt got no arf-farden about
me, but it don't matter. You can keep
the change. I amt mean. GOod-by,
sir, and God bless you. Gee up, 'orse!"

livinu In japan.

It Is estimated that a professional
man in Japan can live, with his wife,
in comfort on the sum Of $3.50, says
the Reader. This means one large
divisible apartment, a small kitchen, a
bathroom, study and a storeroom, a
charming garden, one servant and
surroundings Of great refinement.
Mats are the covering Of the floor, OF
course; pillows the seats; table linen
is superfiouous where lacquered trays
and paper napkins are used; personal
laundry Is at its minimum where two
hot baths day are the custom. The
faggots used in cooking are not much
larger than a mans finger, and fuel for
ironing Is unnecessary where clothes
are stretched properly upon frame.
Perfect privacy is one of the luxuries
Of this minute menage, for "a high
bamboo fence shuts off the view Of
strangers. Each article Of the house
is carefully selected and some of them
are of rare beauty and Of durability
that permits them to be handed on
from one generation to another. No
waste takes place, for every crumb OF
the food prepared Is eaten. Flowers
are the chief decoration, and the
science Of flowers is part Of the ac-
complishments Of the lady of the
house. The large room, with its sew
eral mats and It's adjustable partitions,
becomes at night time the sleeping
place Of the several members Of the
house. but during the day quickly Is
converted into spacious, peaceful,
flower decorated apartment the bed
clothes being laid away neatly on the
shelf of the store-room. Simplicity,
delicacy and refinement characterize
homes of these qualities-the homes OF
the poor who feel no poverty-the
abodes Of those who, having little,
would not complain had they even
less.

THE FACTORY LIGHTS.
Late Hours, But Something Else Be-
sides Hard Work.

The lights of a hundred windows
blinked in the early evening as
crowded ferry boat cut its way across
the East river says the New York
Sun. The building which loomed like
a big shadow save for the lights was
a factory. A Long Islander remarked
to friend:
the people who are still at work in
that factory. l cross on this ferry
five days in the week, and generally
about this hour, and 1 never look at
the lights in those windows without
a feeling of sadness for those who are
detained there"
T understand your feeling" re-
piled the friend, but I chance to
know something about the concern
that operates that factory which may
cause you to think better Of it.
zone of the stockholders, who by
the way, Is not often about the fac
tory, established a custom a good
many years ago which Is still In

ALL LOOK TO LONDON.
II Is the Chief Gold Market and Finan-
cial Centre.


cial Centre.
The pre-eminence Of London is due
partly to its geographical position,
which renders Great Britain so COM
paratively secure with, for instance,
Paris or Berlin, says Moody's Maga-
zine. The enormous foreign trade of
England. exceeding that of any other
nation, and it's sound banking system
are other important factors. The
principal reason, however, why ev-
erybody willingly takes bills on Lon
don in payment of international
debts and leaves large sums on depos-
it with the principal English banks
and banking firms is because England
pays all Of it's debts in gold; because
for the last century England has been
the principal gold market Of the world
and no great obstacles are placed in
the way of exporting gold from Lon
don, as is often done in Paris and
Berlin.
AS result of these factors Lon
don has for nearly a century been the
financial centre of the world, and
drafts on London have grown to be in
ternatiOnal money acceptable through
out the commercial world. More for
eign exchange is drawn in English
sterling than in the moneys of all
other countries combined Similar
ly it is estimated that fully 80 per
cent Of all letters of credit issued
throughout the world are drawn in
English money. Exchange on London
in the payment of international debts
is not only always acceptable but gen.
orally preferred. a shipment of cot
ton from New Orleans, La, to Hong
kong. China. would generally be set
tied through bills drawn on London
owing to the readiness with which
such bills can always be sold.

CONTEMPLATING.
Facts Shown In Report Of Chief Wilkie
of the Secret Service.

In the making of greenbacks there
Is one thing that always stumps the
counterfeiter; this Is the secret process
by which the tiny threads are woven
into the paper The counterfeiters
way Of getting the threads into their
productions is to make the note out OF
two pieces Of paper pasted together,
with the threads between the two. A
new 500 note recently put into circu-
lation was made this way, but the COL
or was blush green Instead OF
real green. However, that would not
have been detected by the ordinary
man, unless accidentally by compari-
son with a good note Of the same de-
nomination.
The government is so strict about
this matter of counterfeiting that 1t
is a crime even to make piece of pa
per the size and texture Of a bank
note, though there be nothing on it
but the threads. The sentence for
counterfeiting is given to the man who
goes only this far.
An outfit for making base metal
coins costs only about dollar and
half. The man who works alone In
this business usually passes the coin
himself. or he may sell 1t to those
whose business It is to pass 1t, his
profit being 35 cents on the dollar
When there is q gang Of these fellows
there is one who makes the DOODLE
one who carries 1t and one who passes
it. The one who spends the fake
money never receives more than one
coin at a time from the carrier" If
the latter sees that there Is something
suspicious going on he quietly makes
Off" and If the spender be found with
the goods on, why. there are thou
sand ways in which he might have got
It, Four or five years ago Italians
were in the majority in the counter
feiting business, but statistics show
now native Americans are in the ma
jority, with the Italians in second
place.
Since many Of the counterfeiters, es-
pecially those who worked In small
way, have been found in apartment
houses. the secret service has been
called upon many times by residents
of flats to trace up peculiar noise"
they have heard. The results have
been funny Sometimes there Is an
asthmatic sufferer who cannot lie down
and who sleeps in a chair. and his oc-
casional rocking is the noise" At
other times it is horse kicking in a
stable that causes the scare. In 1000
cases of this kind reported to the Sc
cret service bureau there may be found
one instance in which there is ground
for suspicion.

Colonel Justin NJ. Leavitt, for twenty

the Boston Herald.
Some years ago, during one OF tne

little log rolling for the ticket. AL
one of the small villages he was OBJ
liged to hire a team to drive out some
four miles to see his man. The day
was cold and rainy, and he was pretty
we'll chilled when he returned.
Having an hour or so to wait for his
train he entered the small tavern near
the station, and seated himself in a
comfortable chair in front of the Dig
wood stove, in which was a good hre.
With his heavy ulster on he soon be-
came a little drowsy.
The four or five settlers" about the
room soon began to interest them
selves in the stranger, who sat nod
ding before the stove.

other.

pipe, he's in bad shape. Guess we
better call William" naming the land
lord. Yes, we'd better take care OF
him, as some one may come in, and his
condition might cast some reflections
on Bill" Just then a lanky fellow
sitting on the edge Of the table drawl-
ed out:
"Of course, take care Of him, he's
probably one of your good Democrats"
At this point Colonel Leavitt pushed
his head up over his high coat collar
