Guests Carry of Silver.

Pride in the supposed common hon esty of Americans who visit Washing ton and who secure invitations to the senate restaurant, prevents the sena- tors from displaying placards, Please don't steal the silver" but something had to be done to keep souvenir hunt CTS from carrying off all that was portable from the place. So, in addi ticn to cautioning the walters, the raanagement of the restaurant has had every piece of silver plainly marked "U. S. Senate"
 Each year there has been an alarm ing deficit in portable silver and the plain marking has been made in the hope of saving enough to last through the session. This is not considered likely to abolish the genuine souvenir fiend. who takes them, with or with out labels

A Slow Town.

"Talk about Philadelphia being slow town!" said a real estate man in New York, q know one in New Jersey that has it walloped to con clusion. You know there is money sometimes in cemetery lots, so bought some acreage near this town I won't mention names-and laid out just as nice a cemetery as the most fastidious could ask for. Prices for lots were simply scandalous, they were so low That was more than a year ago. and. by love. I haven't sold a lot since-not a lot. The people there haven't got energy enough to die, that's what's the matter, Unless they begin to move in pretty soon I'm going to turn it into cabbage patch.
 You won't try to raise early cab bages on it, will you?" inquired a soft voiced little man, who started off on the jump to catch the last ferry west ward.-Judge.

Society of the Blue Shield.

A French contemporary advises the head of the school for hotel keepers recently established in Paris to study the ,precepts laid down by Doctor Auerbach of Frankfort. who presides over the society known as the Enc mics of Noise He has devoted spe- cial attention to the unnecessary noises heard in hotels and has is- sued a number of rules to be ob- served by hotel managers. Those who comply with them are allowed to display outside their establish ments the blue shield of the society. Some of the rules are by no means easy to follow, notably one which for bids the admission "of noisy. i'll bred or foul mouthed travellers, and those afflicted with loud. squeaky or shrill voices. Such travellers should be in- scribed on black list, and will thus soon be excluded from all hotels cer- tified by the society"

MILLION FROM DOLLAR TIF
Waiter Buys Out the Man Who Was Liberal in Chicago
 Hotel.

Chicago.-Twenty years ago, Col Richard H. Southgate handed Max l.. reich S1 bill as tip for serving him an extraordinarily good dinner in a Chicago hotel. Carl c. Roessler, who. was waiting on the adjoining table, congratulated his waiter chum on hay ing such a liberal patron. Recently Teich and Roessler paid Colonel South gate more than s1.000. 900 for his inter est in the Congress hotel and annex. In speaking of their rise and their ac- ouisition of riches, Teich said:
 We owe our start to the liberality of the American people in giving tips. About fifteen years ago bought a small hotel in Chicago and later other houses. Now we have bought control of the Congress and annex. The two properties are worth about $4,000.000 We own 1000 of the 16.OO0 shares"

safe and sound in the bank without reference to the wishes or the de mands of her husband.
 All that the postal savings law de mands is that the depositor does not open more than one account in his own right.
 The postal savings bank will issue certificates of deposits instead of pass books.
 It requires s1 to open a postal saw ings account. This $1 will bear two per cent. interest per annurn. This interest is credited but once each year. As is a general rule fractional parts of a dollar will not draw inter- est This feature is true of all saw ings institutions. 4
 In his report for the fiscal year 19O9- 10 Postmaster General Hitchcock said:
 Neat Sum of ss,ooo, 100000.
 "The total amount of money in the United States is estimated to be about s3 .OOO 900, ,0OO. Of this sum nearly 65 per cent. or about $2,OOO, 900. 900. is in the pockets of the people or in various hiding places-an average of nearly S22 per capita of population. There is every reason to believe that sys- tenn of postal savings banks would, to a great extent, call out these private hoards and return them to circulation through the regular banks of the coun- try. One dollar per capita thus re- leased would add S90.000,O00 to the volume of circulating media Five dol lars per capita would add $45O.OOO,OO0. Whatever this practical increase of the circulation proves to be, add to it the many millions that the postal savings banks would prevent from be ing sent abroad by foreign-born de rositors and the total will reach a magnitude which may well command attention
 In the four years 1906, 1907, 1908 S.d 1909 the United States postal money orders payable in foreign couE- tries amount to more than S312, 2,000,- OO0 A great portion of this sum will in the belief of the postmaster general remain in the United States win the safeguard of the postal savings bank backed by the federal government as the standing inducement to the for eignborn resident to save his money and draw interest thereon.
 The system has been working in England for more than half a century and has proved to be of benefit to the regular banks.

INVENTOR OF GRAHAM BREAD
Lecturer Who Taught That Disease Is Result of Disobedience to
 Physical Laws.

Sylvester Graham first appeared in New York as a lecturer think in the winter of 1S31-32. He had been a Pres byterian clergyman, settled in New Jersey. and was styled Doctor,
 though I do not know that he ever studied or practiced medicine. ..
 He believed, therefore taught. that health is the necessary result of obedience; disease that of disc bedience to physical laws; that all stimulants, whether alcoholic or narcotic, are pernicious, and should be rejected, save. possibly, in those rare cases where one poison may be wisely employed to neutralize or eXpel another; he condemned tea and conee, as well as tobacco, opium and alcoholic potables-cider and beer equally with brandy and gin. save that the poison Is more concentrated in the latter. He iisapproved of all spices and conei- ments save (grudgingly) very little salt; and he held that more suitable and wholesome food for human beings than the flesh of animals can almost al ways be procured, and should be pre- ferred The bolting of meal, to sep arate its coarser from its finer parti- cles. he also reprobated, teaching that the ripe. sound berry of wheat or rye, being ground to the requisite fineness, should in no manner be sifted, but should be made into loaves and eaten precisely as the millstones deliver It.

Man Determines to Take Vain Wife Down Peg and Is
 Shut Up.

The man admired his wife just about as much as a man can admire a wife; nevertheless, when he saw that she was devoting more and more time each day to mirror gazing he de termined to take her down a peg. Said he brutally:
 T wouldn't be so stuck on myself If 1 were you, just because people hap pen to notice you when you go out. rt isn't you they are admiring. it's your clothes. I heard bunch of women say so just the other day"
 For an instant the shock to the woman's vanity was overpowering; then quickly recovering she said:

 And then the man shut up.

MISER LEFT A HOARD
DYING WOMAN WILLS FORTUNE
 OF $eo,ooo TO HOSPITAL.
sandusky, Ohio, Woman, Supposedly Poor, Bequcaths Huge Sum of Money to institution That
 Cared for Her.

Sandusky, O.-Although supposed to be poor, Mrs Rosa Baubach, dying. left an estate valued at S60.000 to a Iccal hospital. her relatives being cut off. The appraisers of the estate while going through Mrs. Baubach's effects found hidden on a shelf in closet a large iron box which when broken open was found to contain more than $1e,000 in gold. silver and currency, besides securities the value of which has not been ascertained. It has also developed that Mrs. Baubach owned real estate worth $50.000.
 The iron box was rusty and mouldy with age and evidently had remained in it's hiding place many years.
 Some years ago Mrs. Baubach was taken seriously i'll and was removed to a local hospital. She was given the best of care. and often remarked during her illness that some day the hospital would be well remembered by her. After leaving the hospital she was weekly visitor at the insti- tution up to within a short time be- fore her death. Each time she would inquire the needs of the institution.
 For many years Mrs. Baubach had lived in a little story and half house in the business section of the city. and was seldom seen out of doors. She lived alone. Her spare hours were spent in sewing and knitting, and her neighbors often remarked i'ov she would save a little piece of string or a thread of yarn.
 Some day with this yarn I save I will be able to knit a pair of stock ings or two, and these little pieces or thread will always come in handy" she would explain.
 Sbe died week ago, and in her will she left $500 to her church, few small bequests to relatives and friends, and the balance of her estate to the hospital.

QUICK EYES OF THE WOMEN They Have Extraordinary Faculty for Seeing Many Things and Taking
 In Every Detail.

Women have the most extraordinary faculty for seeing a great many things at once. For instance, they will remember every detail of a persons dress, manner, and personal appear ance, even to the color of the hair and eyes, after mere glimpse This power is rare with men in general, though some have cultivated it The gift belongs pre-eminently to women, however, who will often, without eff fort, take away the most vivid impress sions of people they have travelled with for a short time only and have never spoken to, or of people they have met by chance in the street.
 Women's eyes need to be as keen as they are kindly In her household all depends on them. Woman is the nrst to notice any little rift within the lute of home life, and failure in the health of those she loves and has the care of, any lapse from the ac- customed, any trouble unexpressed that is making any one unhappy. More delicately balanced, more sensitive than man. her nature receives i'm pressions which to those of differ ent, perhaps coarser. fiber would sim ply have no existence. Her intuition is at times divine.

3alioon works at Farnborough; finally, .Ee appointment of Mai. Sir Alexaa- fer Zimmerman to the command of the army air corps" has been made. md a gianace at this gentleman's cl:n makes one think that, in spite cf the Herculean task before him, it is like y that some progress may be made, for if ever determination is written In capital letters on anyone's face, 1t is there.
 Up to now all the balloon busi- ness of the British army has psea carried out by the Royal engineers, but from the date of Sir Alexander's appointment a new unit of the army Is formed, called the army balloon corps. The officers of this corps will not be recruited only from the Royal engineers as formerly, but from any part of the army, providing that the men show an aptitude for aeronautics. The works at Farnborough will be the constructional and experimental departments for dirigible balloons only, the aeroplane department being situated at Salisbury, but it is at the former place where most of the work will be done for the present as the seroplane has not yet proved itself or sufficient value during maneuvers to warrant the expenditure of much money upon it's development in this di- rection.
 Sir Alexander saw active service in the South African war, and afterward went through the Russo-Japanese war, being attached to the Japanese army He was present during the siege and fall of Port Arthur Sandi received a Jap anese order.
 The Bannermans, as their name i'm plies, were hereditary banner bearers to the kings of Scotland, and the title was awarded by Charles II. in 1882 | to Alexander Bannermann of Elsick, for devotion to the Stuarts "on ac- count of his constant loyalty during the rebellion and of the heavy calam ities he had suffered ou that account. This Alexander Bannermann's third son was obliged to fly to France owing to being implicated in the rising of II715, and the third baronet followed his example some years later after having raised a regiment and fought for Bonny Prince Charlie at Culioden

 Now just where Uncle Sam expects to reap a sufficient profit from his pos tai savings bank to pay his running expenses for that bank is a point which his caused some curiosity ln the minds of the public. The federal government will not hoard up the pos tai savings deposits, but will release the money as fast as it comes in. This money will be placed in the hands O. the national banks, which will in turn pay the federal government rate ol interest fractionally higher than that which the federal government will pay depositors.
