SOMETHING NOT IN DEMAND
One Accomplishment That Employers
of Cashiers Make No Great Eff
fort to Foster.

Having graduated from a business
college with honors the young man
thought himself competent to tackle
any problem in banking that could be
learned without actual experience, but
the old clerk knew better.
Can you make an erasure so neat
ly that it would take an expert to
tell where it had been done?" he
asked
"Yes, sir" said the young man with
conscious pride.
We'll, for heavens sake don't tell
your prospective employer so or you
will be looking for job this time
next year" the old clerk said.
Employers are afraid of too much
skill in that direction. 1t gives such
enormous opportunities for fraud that
they will fight shy of hiring you.
Il found that out in my young days.
l also was an expert with the ink
eraser and proudly proclaimed my ac-
complishment. Finally, when | found
myself toeing the starvation mark l
ceased to boast, and have held a
good situation ever since"

QUEER CASE OF SMUGGLING
Stolen Partridge Eggs Brought Into
Vienna by Means of Dummy
Baby.

A singular case of smuggling by
means of a dummy baby was brought
to light by the city customs officials at
the Northwestern station recently.
Partridge eggs have for long past
been extensively stolen from preserved
estates in Hungary, smuggled into vi
emma and sold to poultry dealers, who
Matched the eggs in incubators, brought.
up the birds by hand, and sold them
below the prices asked by more hon
est dealers. A special lookout for
smugglers has resulted in the arrest OF
two peasant women.
Arriving in Vienna in the national
Slavonian costume, each of them car
ried baby, tied according to the in
variable national custom to cushion,
and so closely packed" that only the
face was visible The women were
noticed to be little agitated as they
passed the customs, and they were fol-
lowed home. It was then discovered
that while one baby was living child,
the other was a dummy. 1t consisted
of wax head, partly hidden by a
shawl and cap, while the cushion was
filled with more than 600 partridge
eggs.-Vienna Correspondence London

Much Like Modern Audience.

The tricks of theater audiences have
been remarkably similar in all ages.
Alciphron, who wrote of the later At
tic comedy, shows that the claque was
known then, and also young men Of
the town" who took a malicious de-
light in Kissing play off the stage.
Theophrastus, who died in 2S8 B. e.,
sketches among his characters" the
man of superior taste, whose pride it
was to hiss when everybody else APP
plauded, and to clap when the rest
were silent; and the annoying person
who would hum or whistle an accom-
paniment to every tune that pleased
him. And Aristotle himself refers to
spectators who brought out provisions
during the dull parts of the perform
ance.-London Chronicle.

Mistake Cost s2o.ooo.ooo.

The temporary loss of an important
paper once cost this country nearly
$20,000,000 This was in connection
with the famous Alabama incident in
the American Civil war.
The vessel was quietly constructed
at Birkenhead, and launched on May
IS, 1862. Then, and not till then,
suspicion Of its true character was
aroused, and a case was prepared for
the law officers opinion. But the mes
senger entrusted with the papers put
them in the wrong letter box. Two
days passed before the mistake was
learned, and when orders were tele-
graphed to stop the vessel the Ala
bama had steamed from the Mersey on
a voyage of destruction for which we
had to pay something more than the
price of a elegram-London Chroni-
Gle.

CURES WROUGHT BY CHINESE
Ministrations of Physicians Have
Good Effect, Though the Cause
May Be Obscure.

Chinese physicians are popular
with women in our CITY," said a doc
tor from California Their method
of diagnosis is very simple. A wom-
an tells a Chimes doctor where she
has a pain and he feels her pulse
nothing more. Then he tells her for
how many thousand years his race
has understood the human body and
mind. This makes a great impress
sion upon the woman patient and she
goes forth with great faith in the
learned Chinese and the medicine he
has given her, which is usually harm
less enough, but not to be found
among the remedies approved by ma
terra medica.
However, the Chinese doctors are
clever, and they do effect some cures
in spite of their medicine. Lay it,
perhaps, to the mental effect-the
subtle influence of an alien personal
ity combined with an awe of learning
outrunning the oldest in America by
so many hundreds of centuries"

Renulus a Roman Hero.

Regulus is counted as one of the
great heroes of the old Roman empire.
He was in command of an army that
made an unsuccessful attempt to cap

and took the rest prisoners. Among
the captives was Regulus, the COM
mander.
Now it happened that the Romans

fered to give Regulus his freedom IL
Rome would free their generals. The
Romans were willing, but Regulus, the
one for whom the trade was being
made, counseled otherwise. He ad-
vised his people to hold fast to the
Carthaginians and let Carthage do it's
worst to him. because the Carthagin-
ian captives Rome held, Regulus said.

Guest Room Slate.

One of the greatest conveniences
which a hostess can devise for her
guests is a clearly written card set on
The bedroom writing table detailing
the hours of meals. the times of in
coming and outgoing posts, the prin-
cipal trains and other useful informa-
ton.
1t was someone's clever idea to pro-
vide a small china slate in each room,
on which might be written instruc-
tions for the housemaid. 1t is often
difficult to find her during the day in
order to ask for the hot bottle, the
glass of warm milk, the necessary
help when dressing for dinner, or 9TH
er needs that may be required and
to ring for her often is not desirable.
