Washington Star.
"I'd like to shake hands with that
cook," said the president.
General Gordon sent servant to
ask the nanny to come to the din
ing room. The servant came back
with this message: "Tell Marse John
won't come"
"Did you tell her what I wanted
her for?" asked the general, sharply.

SLOT SAVING MACHINES.

Slot machines as repositories for
savings have been found by Buda-
pest banking concern to be an excel
lent means of increasing the amount
IF money handled by its savings de-
partment. The slot machines are
placed in the street, and the persons
placing money in them are auto
matically given receipt, which may
be exchanged against a bank book,
Or kept until such time as the re-
ceiver is DESTROYS of withdrawing the
deposit from the bank. The idea is
that people will deposit small
amounts, if relieved of the necessity
of going to the bank to do so, and
also that the sight of the machines
will cause them to deposit coins
within instead of spending them.
The deposits of the bank have shown
a remarkable increase since the idea
was instituted.

Frank Smisc, at work on the ninth
story of the Cuyler building, under
construction in West Thirty-frst
street, fell when a board broke as he
was placing it under mortar hoist.
He went all the way down to the
bottom of the shaft. An ambulance
was summoned from the New York
hospital. Other workmen, believing
Smise dead, stood aside. The doctor,
however, was greeted by shout as
he climbed down.
"Get out Of the way. I want all"
"Where's the man who was hurt %
asked the surgeon.
"I'm the man that fell, but I'm
not hurt" said Smise, and he as
cended from the shaft.
The doctor could not find even q
bruise on his body, but took him to
the hospital for further examination
under an X-ray.-New York Eve.

HAS TURTLES WELL TRAINED
Naturalist Seems to Have Accom-
pls;,ed ccme';1ing Very Close to
the Impossible.

OF all living creatures the turtle
is undoubtedly the slowest in its
moyemen and probably possesses the
least brain. Yet well-known
American naturalist has succeeded
in training three of these creatures
to do a number of little tricks. He
places them, one above the other on
spools, and if a piece OF cabbage or
other green stuff is held out in
front of them, they will make a
complete circuit, all moving in uni
son, keeping their balance and not
tumbling off. The bigger turtle will
also ring a bell. This it grasps in
one of its fore feet, jerks it off the
ground, and then gives it shake.
1t is quite amusing to watch the
slow, deliberate manner in which
this is done. The turtles have al
ways lived in their owners house,
spending their time in the kitchen
hunting down the vermin. One Of
the turtles draws a little cart about
the garden, a task which he appar-
emily does not resent in the least.
OF course he is never kept harnessed
for any length of time. He is quite
tame, follows the children about the
garden, and will even eat from their
fingers.

RESENTED SLUR ON VICTORIA
"Orator" on London Street Found
Crowd Put Decided Limit
on Free Speech.

At Marlborough street John Bon
mar Thompson, a public speaker,
was charged with doing an act cal
culatcd to provoke breach Of the
peace whilst lecturing in Hyde
Park.
William Buckley, an ex-police
constable, said he heard the accused

as a gin drinker. The crowd round
the prisoner became very excited,
and, constable arriving on the
scene, the accused was arrested.
William Hollins, a painter, said
the crowd shouted to the prisoner
"You ought to be whipped"
The prisoner, in defense, said he
was a socialist, but he denied refer
ring to the late Queen Victoria as
alleged.
Mr.. Mead said that if the pris-
oner had any regard for his own
skin he had better not repeat his
conduct. He would have to pay a
fine of 10 shillings, or in default GO
to prison for month.

to pay?

PRIMITIVE COFFEE MILL.

Coffee must undergo considerable
treatment before it is ready for the
coffee pot. The great coffee planta-
tons in South America, today are
equipped with modern machinery,
but in out of the way places the old
primitive methods of handling cof-
fee are still in vogue. The outer
covering of the coffee bean must be
removed before the berry can be
dried. This pulping, as it is called
neccssitatcs an immense amount OF
labor.
