The Check system.

John Palmer. who died some years
ago in rather straitened circumstances
In n little town in Michigan. was the
inventor Of the check system. Palmer
was a fiddler and assumed responsible
ity for the hats. coats and wraps OF
those who came TO his dancing parties.
In keeping things straight he gave
numbered checks for the articles COM
mitted to his care. Some railroad men
who attended one of the dances no
ticed how perfectly the idea worked
and appropriated it. and in short time
the system was adopted all over IN"
country. As is so often the case. the
Inventor got nothing out Of it.-New
York American.

man the other day. and as had die
tated some important letters 10 him
which | wanted written at once took
his notebook to stenograph:c insti-
tuition and asked for man to trans
late the notes. Judge Of my surprise
when I was Informed that no matter
how good an expert a sienographer
may be he cannot read the notes Of a
colleague"
This IL a common complaint Of men
who know nothing OF strnography and
have never studied It," said short
hand reporter recently. ut Is true.
however. that no sienograpber can ac-
curately translate another's notes.
This does appear strange. but II must
be remembered that stenography IL by
no means a perfect science. In fact.
II Is most Imperfect. and there Is great
room for Improvement. Therefore
every intelligent person who studies
stenography after he gets through the
rudIments Of II begins to improve 1t
in his own way. lnvents word signs
and characters and changes or alters
those he has learned. AS a result
every stenographers notes are stamp
ed by his own individuality, a mystery
to another. and therefore. with the ex-
ception of words most commonly used
II would be impossible to read anoth-
er's notes accurately.-New York Her.

mark Of appreciation and esteem for

an artificial limb. which they did rs

clerk. who was generally known by his
Christian name. Paul. was unfortunate
enough to have his other leg fractured

THEIR OWN DOCTORS.
Remedies That Animals When Sick
instinctiveIy Select.


With the brute creation the simple
remedies of nature generally suffice
for their few ailments, and they are
guided to them by instinct. We have
been told how the mongoose cures him
self when bitten by cobra by eating
a certain plant, and many country res
idents have seen q sick dog bury him
self in the dirt.
Animals instinctively choose such
food as is best suited to them. A large
number of animals wash themselves
and battle. as elephants, stays, birds
and ants. In fact, man may take a
lesson in hygiene from theelower an
finals. Animals get rid Of their para
sites by using dust. mud, clay, etc.
Those suffering from fever restrict
their diet. keep quiet, seek darkness
and airy places, drink water and some
times even plunge into it.
When a dog has lost his appetite he
eats that species of grass known as
dogs grass (chiendent). Cats also eat
grass, catnip. etc. Sheep and COWS
when Ill seek out certain herbs. An
animal suffering from chronic rheu-
matism always keeps as much as pos
sible in the sun. The warrior ants
have regularly organized ambulances.
Latrelle cut the antennae OF an ant,
and other ants came and covered the
wounded part with a transparent fluid
they secrete In their mouths. II a
chimpanzee be wounded it stops the
bleeding by placing its hand on the
wound or dressing it with leaves and
grass. When an animal has a wound
ed leg or arm hanging on it completes
the amputation by means OF its teeth.

A Suggestion for Chauffeurs.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Chauffeurs should not drive behind or near fast-moving street cars. That is the suggestion for automobilists which comes from the room of a coroners jury. The members had been Investigating the death of a 12-year-old girl. who was struck by a swiftly flying machine. They reached the decision that the case should be added to the lengthening list of "un- avoidable accidents" But the recommen- dation mentioned was made In connection with the exoneration of the driver of the car and his companion.
 The hint is one which few chauffeurs win take, unfortunately But it is a timely and sensible one. A large number of fatalities result under the exact con- ditions described. People who leave the street cars are put in danger from the automobiles that rush past as the car stops at a corner. The long car Is a,i obstruction to the vision and time and time again, without warning of the ap- preaching machine, the passenger steps from the platform into the path of peril or possible death.
