SERVANTS IN ITALY.
An Interesting Experience With Their
Perquisites and Wages.

Perquisites and Wages.
A New England family spent last
year in Italy, keeping house that the
daughters. who were studying art,
might have the comfort of a real home.
They were much pleased with Italian
servants, whom they found full of a
delightful friendliness, equally removed
from servility and impertinence; but,
alas. these charming servants were not
strictly honest. They had mysterious
arrangements with the tradesmen, COM
missions. perquisites. pickings, treats
to innumerable cousins. The mistress
was troubled. yet she knew her Mari
eta to be Il treasure whom it would be
folly to dismiss.
Instead she summoned her and sug-
gested. with careful delicacy, a curtail-
ment of these self assumed privileges,
Offering increased wages in return.
Marietta agreed. but at the end Of a
week withdrew her assent.
II cannot-no" she declared vehe-
mently. AT first I thought but of the
money. Now l have time to think of
other things. and l find myself insult
ed. Twenty times l put out my hand
to take what l must not and what l
have always taken. Then feel like a
thief-l, who am an honest woman. If

not reach the jam. Surely the signora
understands?
Marietta remained and continued to
be judiciously and discreetly honest in
her own fashion.-Youth's Companion.

Potatoes and Dover.

One foresees the triumph of the po-
tato. unforeseen by William Goblet,
not so much as food. but as a means
Of motion. Coal is giving out; petrol
is going up in price and down in pro-
duction. The supply of both is limited
and must come to an end. but there
comes the cheer that alcohol will be
the motive force Of the future. Petrol
and coal may give out, but the earth
will always grow potatoes. Potatoes
can produce alcohol. and alcohol can
drive engines. In the potato we seem
to have discovered the secret Of per-
petual motion.-London Chronicle

"LEND A MILLION"
Method of Negotiating Loans In New
Works Stock Exchanges.

Methcd of Negotiating Loans In New
Works Stock Exchanges.
The machinery of lending money on
the New York Stock Exchange is very
different from the machinery of max
ing Individual loans. On the Stock
Exchange all loans are handled by
brokers, members of the exchange. who
represent the banks. These brokers
form what is known as the money
crowd" which on day Of so per cent
money becomes rather animated. Nine
tenths of the money loaned on call by
banks is loaned by these brokers. When
bank has $1,OOO,OOO to lend on call
the cashier calls up his money broker
on the exchange and says CURLY to the
telephone clerk. Lend Million" The
clerk rushes the order to the broker.
who offers the $1,OO0,000 to the high
est bidder in the money crowd in
| much the same way as a broker on
the Chicago board of trade would offer
1000 bushels Of wheat.
100000 will be snapped up in minute.
In that case the cashier will be called
mp on the telephone, to hear the money
brokers' clerk say hurriedly. Loaned
million for you to John Smith & Co.
at per cent The giving and filing
of such an order take only five min
| utes. In an 80 per cent money market.
| when brokers are clamoring for money.
it may be done in two minutes.
The brokers' connection with the
transaction ends when he has notified
| the bank Of the borrowers name and
the rate agreed on. The borrower
takes his collateral to the bank, where
an officer passes upon it after it is
| properly checked up by the loan clerk.
and cashiers check is then given for
| the amoAnt of the loan. Whether the
| borrower pays 2. 6. 20 or so per cent
for his money depends wholly on the
| amount there is to lend and the extent
of the demand. If $25,OO0.O0O has been
sent to the "money crowd to put out
| and speculation is so dull that only
$1O,OOO,OOO is required to carry the
stocks bought it is safe to say that the
borrower will pay only per cent.
During period of extremely easy
money rates thousands Of loans are
made on call at l per cent and some
times one-half of per cent. If. on the
| other hand. the Stock Exchange mem
bers wish to borrow $50OO0.OOO and
the banks offer that day only $1O.-
100000. as they often did in panic
times. the borrower may have to bid
as high as 80 per cent for his money.
At that rate he would pay $2,222 day
for the use of the $1.O0O.OO0. - New

Horsepower Of Lightning FIasi

Horsepower Of a Lightning Flash.
The horsepower of a bolt Of light
ming which struck a house in Hesse
last summer has been calculated by a
German scientist at no less than 5O,-
900. The calculation was based upon
the fact that the lightning instantly
melted two large nails. An electric
current Of 200 amperes and 10000
volts might, it is said. have accom-
pIshed the work in one second, but
the lightning did it in very small
fraction of a second.

THE SENSE OF HEARING.
Range of Sound Waves That Impress
the Human Ear.

Range of Sound Waves That Impress
the Human Ear.
In the sense of hearing numerous
problems have interested the expert
mental psychologist. Among these
may be mentioned the range of sounds
that can be heard by an Individual
that is, the limit both above and be-
low which no sound can be heard.
The solution of these two problems,
the determination of the upper and
lower limit of sound, has occasioned
great deal of careful work and the
construction of many forms of appa-
ratus.
For determining the upper limit of
sound for any Northumberland indi-
viduals differ considerably-the Cation
whistle is generally used. 1t consists
of tiny pipe. which is heightened or
shortened by a piston adjusted by
micrometer screw. This little instru-
ment can be regulated to make a tone
which is too high for any human ear
to hear and which will finally produce
only a painful sensation.
Francis Cation for his study of indi-
vidual differences. He had one of the
whistles built into the end Of his cane,
and as he walked through the zoolog-
ical gardens he would blow it near the
ears Of the various animals. He ad-
justed the whistle too high for his
own ear to hear. and if the various
animals responded to the sound he
knew that their upper limit was great
er than that of the human ear.
The ordinary human ear can detect
tone whose vibration rate is at least
5000 vibrations per second. while the
whistle will produce $4,000 per second
This upper limit varies with the age
Of the individual to such an extent
that, if the upper limit at sixteen years
Of age were $4,000 vibrations, at sixty
years of age it would be about $4,000
per second.-Strand Magazine.

MUTUAL IGNORANCE,
Quaint Story Of Dumas and Scribe, the
Playwright.

Playwright.
Sardou had his eyes opened by the
plays Of Scribe. At that day it was the
fashion among the younger literary
men to sheer at Scribe-as it is today,
by the way. to sheer at Sardou. Scribe
was called ''potboiler," maker Of
mechanical plays, a man who wrote
scenes to fit scenery and a maker Of
plots rather than of plays. Appalling
tales were told Of him by unsuccessful
playwrights. It was whispered that he
sucked the brains of other men, pur-
chased ideas, revamped them and thus
acquired the large fortune which he
was then enjoying.
How they accounted for the fact that
with the ideas of unsuccessful play
wrights he made successful plays ira
dition does not tell. But all were
agreed that Scribe was mediocre. that
his success was accidental and that he
was miser. Albert Wolff gives these
details Of the opinions held with re-
gard to Scribe in the ffties and adds
this anecdote:
''The only influential man l knew in
Paris" said Sardou. was Dumas the
elder. One day said to him, Won't
you give me letter Of introduction to
Scribe. the playwright Scribe said
the great romancer-'who is Scribe?
never heard of him. I sighed and de-
termined to see Scribe without a let
ter. So called at his house that very
day and was at once received Par
don my intrusion I said. but l had
expected to bring letter of introduce
ton to you from NJ. Alexandra Dumas,
the celebrated romancer' 'Dumas?' in
terrupted Scribe. Never heard of him.
Who is Dumas?' "-From Jerome A.
