EARNING A BIG SALARY.
Story Told About General Manager
Frank Hedley, of the Interborough.

"How does a high salaried man
earn his pay?" asks writer in Sys.
TEN, and proceeds to answer his own
question with the following incident:
Some time ago Frank HeGley, the
general manager of the Interborough,
was waiting on subway station
platform. A train drew in with the
power on, reached the stop signal and
came to a sudden halt, iolting the
passengers and straining the machin.
cry. The incident gave him an idea.
He went to a manufacturer OF
time clocks and gave an order for an
experimental timepiece that would re-
cord elapsed time during which elec-
trio power was being used by the In
terborough trains. The manufacture
er in due time produced small de-
vice that could be attached to the
mechanism in the Inotorman's box in
such d way that the power could be
turned on only after the time clock
had been unlocked by the motorman's
special key and the clock set in oper-
alton.
w Htu tlt IOWtl MdS SlluI Oll iut
clock would record the exact moment.
BY this means the exact number of
hours, minutes and seconds, during
which that motorman consumed elecS
trio current was automatically re-
corded and a special device printed
the total elapsed time during the
days run.
''The device was attached to the
motormen's control boxes in all the
trains on one line and experimental
with for a month. Instructions were
issued to the motormen to coast into
the stations by turning off the power
as far distant from the stopping place
after running some rods by the force
of momentum. Rewards were offered
to the men whose records showed the
most economical use of electric power.
AT the end of the month the engi-
neer of the line reported a reduction
of over fifteen per cent. in the power
consumed. The individual records of
the men showed a reduction ranging
from ten per cent to forty per cent.
over the amount of power used pre-.
viously Time clocks have been or
dered for the other Interborough
lines.
''It may be assumed that the same
saving In power will be effected. The
Interborough' annual coal bill for
producing electric current is $2,S00,-
900. A saving of fifteen per cent.
means a saving of $294,000 year on
this item alone to say nothing of the
saving on wear and tear Of machinery.
The sum is considerably larger than
Frank Hedley's salary"

Antiquity of Shorthand.

Shorthand is apt to be looked upon
as an essentially modern art. The
predecessors of Pitman, Byron, In the
eighteenth century; Mason, in the sew
enteenth-are dim and distant figures
beyond which 1t seems useless to ven-
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
to his freedman, T. Tullius Trio, and
was inconsolable when temporarily
deprived of his services. He COM
planned in a letter to friend that
while "Tiro takes down whole phrases
In a few signs, Spintharus (his pro-
visional substitute) only writes in syl-
lables." We need not. however, sup
pose that the "notae Tironianae"
were actually invented by the freed
man In question. AS M. Guenin points
out. the Romans created very few of
the arts OF peace, contenting them
selves. as rule. by copying from the
Greeks. M. Guenin, however, indi-
Gates the banks OF the Nile as the
cradle of the art.-T. P.'s Weekly.

Farmers Cows.

On the average farm where it is
not the intention to do extensive
dairy work, we find many COWS that
are cross-bred animals. They have
been bred with the idea of producing
dual purpose; or farmers cows, as
they are sometimes called. These
cows are usually a cross between
some beef breed and a breed of dairy
qualities, and as a result we have
neither, but mongrel whose good
qualities are hard to discover. We
have a COW that not only does not pro-
duce enough milk and butter to pay
for the care and feed she receives,
but produces a calf that does not de-
relop sufficiently to pay for the milk
and the feed it receives. There have
been cows that produced a fair
amount of milk and butter, whose
calves were better than the average
dairy calf, but it must he understood
that these are exceptions and are hard
to find. There are other points, too,
that are against these cows doing
their best. The feed and care many
receive quite frequently consists only
of pasture in summer and corn, hay,
straw and cornstaIks in winter. The
milking is done out of doors most of
the year and the cows are only stabbed
during the severest weather.-Farm-
ers' Home Journal.

There is an exquisite charm about
neatly dressed woman. She does

Poultry Notes.

There is much less worry attached
to duck raising than to other branches
of poultry keeping.-E. c., in the In7
diana Farmer.
A pen of eighteen, fifteen duck and
three brakes, will furnish an abun-
dance of eggs. They will almost all
give a strong duckling when we'll
cared for and properly mated.
Another experiment showed that
the average duckling required twenty
five cents worth of feed to prepare
him for market Those in question
were sold for fifty cents each; so OF
course there was good profit in them.
The Pekin seems to be the favorite
market duck, and holds its own we'll,
but the Indian Runner Is the breed to
get where eggs are the main item.
They will make rapid gains. too, when
we'll fed, for a duck is like pig In
this respect; give them good feed and
they will soon show you good results.
The profit is quick, so one is able
to use the money for feeding later
matches of ducks or for chicks. The
earliest ducks bring the best prices,
but there is fair profit in the later
ones, where one will furnish the feed.
Unless you are situated where you
can procure reasonably good eggs
whenever you wish them, 1t is much
better to have pen of breeders.
OF late years the demand for ducks
has increased greatly. That this in
crease will continue is a fact not to
be doubted, so IL will he a wise in
vestment to procure several sittinga
of duck eggs, selecting the hest Of
the ducks for next seasons breeding
pen, and procuring good brakes In
January to mate. This, of course, II
conditions allow of your RAISING
ducks.
Where one is growing exclusively
for market, 1t seems there is more
profit in ducks than chicks; some ex
periments where both chicks and
ducklings were taken at the same age
and fed the same ration, show that
the ducklings cost 1.9 cents a pound
This is for a pound gain; the chicks
show pound gain. cost 4,S4 cents;
the ducklings were also ready for
market, while the chicks were yet too
small II is almost unbelievable the
rapid gain that hearty ducklings will
make when fed right.

Brides Share of a Wedding.

often there seems doubt in the
minds of young couple to be mar
ried as to which expenses fall upon
the bride and which upon the BRIDE
groom. The division is as follows;
The bride pays for the invitations and
the announcement cards, for the we'd
ding breakfast, all expenses of the re-
ception, the carriages for the brides
maids, the decorations of the church
and the gifts to bridesmaids.
The bridegroom pays for his own
carriage in which goes his best man,
for the wedding ring, the license, the
gifts to the ushers and gives fee to
the minister, the organist and the SEX
ton. He does not pay for the ushers'
gloves or ties, nor does he send car
riages to bring them to church.-Phil-
