Emharrassina.

The little tots of the infant depart ment in a Sunday school are working a new scheme to raise money for a new piano. They have learned near ly everyone's birthday, and collect a cent for each year they are old. One lady who was averse to telling her age even for good cause gave one little girl dollar, saying: Keep it all" The little collector looked the giver over carefully and asked: Are you really 100 years old?"

ALWAYS TRUST THE GIRLS.
stenographers Will Spurn 6ribes
 Rather Than Betray Secrets.

Not long ago Kansas City stenog. rapher learned that the railroad for which she was working had deter mined to extend its line. She had a friend living in the town through which the line was to run. A let ter to him, with her savings, would have enabled him to buy at a low price the land the road needed, and the peculiar nature of the ground in that neighborhood would have en- abled him to sell at a great profit. She did not consider the thing more it would be a dishonorable thing to do. Another stenographer in large real estate office became aware of deal in which $150,000 was involved. Certain information she possessed would be worth thousands to the other parties. They made a few advances and hinted at rewards as high as $5,000 for her betrayal of her firm. She indignantly refused, and told her employers of the scheme. Another stenographer was offered S1 ,000 for copies of three letters which she had written. A lawsuit in which her em- ployers were involved might have gone against them had the opposing party been able to secure the in- formation contained in the three let. ters. The lawyer for the other side laid ten s100 bills on her mothers table and told her they were hers for the permission to read the letters. The girl scorned the offer

LONDON USES MUCH WATER.
Enough in One Year to Float the
 Navies of the World

It has been calculated that if cis- tern covering $50 acres and 345 feet high could be constructed and the wa ter supply of London for one year turned into it, the warships of all the worlds navies could ride at an- chor there. The figures are given by Ttt-BTts. It adds: If we now dig a canal 100 feet wide across Europe, from the extreme north to the south, and empty our cistern into it, we shall find that the water in our canal, which is 2,400 miles long, will rise to a uni form height of ten feet. Every drop Of 1t is consumed by the inhabitants of Greater London within a year, while each man, woman and child living to-day throughout the world could draw 90 gallons from it without exhausting it's contents The mains through which these hundreds of mil lions of tons of water flow for the use of London are almost long enough to stretch quarter of the way around the earth at the equator, while 1t would take locomotive, travelling at the rate of 60 miles an hour, more than four days and nights to race from one end of them to the other.
