He Packed His Trunk.

A very newly married man just
back from his honeymoon revealed
a secret to a group of friends one
night recently.
"You know l was very suspicious
of my best man and the ushers,"
said he, "and | was cocksure they
were going to put over some horse
play, so to be on the safe side /
packed my trunk myself on the
morning of the wedding and ship
ped it to the Grand Central station.
When it came time to dress for the
big event in the evening | got all
rugged out and hen looked in the
closet for my shoes. They weren't

they were in the baggage room five

Mary. Queen of Scots.

Mary, queen of Scots, was tall
and slender, but very graceful in
all her actions. Her face does not
seem to have been especially beau
tiful, for she had rather irregular
features, but her fascination of
manner raj irresistible. She had
a way Of cooking her head a little
to one side and of looking sideways
at the person with whom she was
talking that gave a strong impress
sion Of coquetry. She had very
small hands and feet and was fond
of showing both, often having her
gowns shortened in order that her
feet might be seen. She always
had her own hair cut close and
wore a wig to ave the time and
trouble of h~airdressing.

Siberia.

Siberia is no longer thought Of as
a land Of desolate ice fields and bar
ren steppes. On the other hand, it
is known to be one of the most Won
derful lands on earth. The rich
prairies Of the middle Amur and
the Udai region, where the wild
vine grows freely, and the fertile
black earth plains of the Tobal and
the Ishim-not mere patches of
rich land, but steppes covering tens
of millions of acres-and vast tracts
densely covered with forests predict
for this far northern country a re-
markable future. It's population is
steadily increasing, and it is already
beginning TO be one Of the great
grain centers Of the sarth--New

COUNTING MONEY.
For Coins Uncle Sam Uses Machines
That Make No Mistakes.

Uncle Sam is now too big, too
prosperous and too much in a hur-
~ even to count his money, and in
stead of counting his coins by hand
he simply runs them through il sort
Of hopper operated by electricity,
and an automatic register shows
how many went through. The coins
fall into a bag and are tied up and
sealed, the government guarantee
ing that the correct number is in
the bag. The machine can make
no mistake; hence Uncle Sam feels
safe in making his guarantee. In
this way all the money is counted
out at Washington to go to the sub
treasures and banks throughout
the country. The treasury does a
great deal of counting Of money,
and for the purpose women are en-
ployed rather than men, as it has
been found after long experience
hat women make fewer mistakes
hence the operators at the electric
machines are of the female sex.
But there is one place in the life
of the coin where it must be count
ed by hand, and that is when it
comes back to the treasury for re-
demption. The money then must
be gone w by hand to separate
the foreign, mutilatod, worn out
and counterfeit pieces, a work that
requires very quick perception, and
women have been found to do it
exccllcntly well. Usually they can
detect a counterfeit coin by its col
or as it lies among the others on the
table, but if not then the operator
captures it when she losses it from
one hand to another, for there is a
false ring in its chink as it leaps
into her palm.
There are some interesting facts
connected with copper cents. You
would think that, inasmuch as pen
MES are money, they would be fair,
ly well taken care of, wouldn't you; :
But they very m]ysteriously creep
away and are seen no more. We
have to put $4,000, 900 of them into
circulation annually, and the ma
iority never come back for re-
demption. You can hardly destroy
such a coin, so we infer that as they
are changing hands frequently and
are of small value they are handled
carelessly and lost.
One woman in the treasury at
Washington spends all her time in
making the little paper covers
which are seen around the sacks of
smaller coins in the banks. They
are called Cartridges" and are pop
ular with the banks, as they are
easily handled.-American Banker.

Disabled.

In an English camp a battalion
was being instructed on how to
take a convoy through open coun-
try. One company was told off to
represent a convoy, the men being
instructed hat they were to repre-
sent horses, COWS and wagons.
After being halted a short time
the advance signal vas given, and
the convoy moved on, but the ma
jor noticed hat one man continued
to lie down and, galloping up to him
in a rage, said, MAN, why don't

He Couldn't See.

Little jacks father was the
teacher of the Sunday school class
of which Jack was a new member.
He had been told that as this was
his first Sunday he would not be
asked any questions, but he must
pay close attention just the same.
So on the way home his father
asked him who it was who killed
Goliath.

The orator was laundering along
carrying everything before him
Since the days of Daniel Webster
the audience had heard nothing tc
equal it. Spellbound, they listened
to his ~torrential ~eloquence, and
then right in the midst of a period
glowing with passion and rhetorical
beauty there came a drawing voice
from the rear of the hall.

orator. "And what is that ques-
tion?"
The interloper proceeded to
drawl out a very sockdolager. 1t
was such a question as would
stump speakers of any age. Who
could be expected to answer such
a poser offhand? The audience
turned breathlessly to the orator to
see how he would meet it, but they
were treasured to find him still
smiling.
"Well," he said after a few mo-
ments' cogitation, scratching his
head thoughtfully, "that is a poser.
In fact, / do not know that in
twenty years experience on the
public forum / have ever had so
difficult a question put to me to be
answered offhand. Nevertheless ]

Whereupon there followed a bril-
liant exposition of all the points
bearing upon the proposition thus
unexpectedly presented. The reply
was masterful. 1t showed a re-
sourcefulness in debate that was
unparalleled in the experience OF
his hearers, and when he had fin

The word prevaricator is from
the Latin and originally meant a
straddler with distorted or mis-
shapen legs. In the Roman courts
of law the expression was applied to
one who in a suit was discovered to
be in collision with his opponent
to compass some dishonesty. AS
falsehood was the necessary part of
such a performance, the word by
and by came to have the signif-
cance at present attached to it.
