Five Cents to Sit Down.

A genius Of San Jose, Cal, has pat
ented a new form of bench for use
in public parks, etc. This bench is
made to accommodate two persons
snugly, but if pair of lovers want to
use it they must first drop nickel in
the slot This will release the bench
and allow it to be tipped forward into
a position so it can be sat in. After
they have sat as long as they care
to-which in some cases will presum-
ably be quite a while-they will prob
ably get up, and then the bench will
automatically drop back and lock
itself so as to be ready for the next
susceptible couple. The inventor pro-
poses to have his benches in all pub
lie places. He believes the people will
be glad to pay nickel in order to
be sure of a seat and that the income
will help the city keep up the parks.
ETC., as well as enrich himself.-The
Pathfinder.

Another Realment.

A certain lodger, whose butter dis
appeared in the most mysterious and
appalling manner. contriyed TO stop
the business by adopting a rather In
genious and original plan. Whenever
he had finished with the Wand he
stamped the end with a reglmental
button which he had, and for time
all was well, says London Tit-Bits.
One night, however, he thought the
roll looked rather shorter than when
he left it, and yet the impression of a
button was there right enough.
Then summoning his landlady, he
said:
"This is not my butter. Mrs. Scott"
"Oh, yes, it is. Mr.. Wild; there's the
mark of the button on It,"
"Just so, Mrs. Scott; but, bless me,
this button belongs to quite differ
ent regiment from mine. Yours be-
longs to the r. A. F.; mine to the r.

Significant LInes<

The other Sunday evening, when
church service was over, young
minister started on his journey home,
accompanied by two young ladies of
the choir, when they began a con-
versation about hymns.
What is your fayorite hymn" ask
ed the curate, turning to one of his
fair companions.
Draw me nearer" she replied,
not thinking of the double meaning.
At that moment her companion,
who was walking on the other side Of
the curate. to make matters worse,
said, innocently:
''That is only the chorus; the COM
mencement of the verse. is, I am
thine"
At this the curate laughed heartily,
and the ladies are always very care
full now when talking about hymns.

GYPSIEs ARE OPULENT.
Do Not Migrate In Horse Drawn
COnYeyances But Have Autos.

So lucrative have been the efforts
of gypsies that settled in Westport,
near the new Hanover street bridge,
that even the cold weather of the
past few weeks have not benn suffici-
ent to drive them to warmer chimes.
Inded, more gypsies have arrived and
the tent village has almost doubled
in sic. This makes the third party of
gypsies to locate near the much-tray-
eled bridge connecting Baltimore and
the Annapolis Boulevard. Each Sun
day women of the tribe are kept busy
telling fortunes and the returns are
handsome. Even the little girls, not
yet out IF thei rteens, are now telling
fortunes. They are unlike the ordi-
nary gypsies in that they travel by
automobiles thus attesting their OPP
ulence.

5s5 warships Lost In Three Years.

To impatient souls who have watch
ed vainly for three years for really
great naval battle, the information that
during that period the losses in war
ships of all kinds to all the beligerents
amount to 525 will come as sort of
a revelation.
Figures compiled by the Army and
Navy Journal show that Germany has
lost 1914 ships, England Isl, France 45.
Turkey, AZ, Austria, 81, Italy, %, Rus
STA, % and Japan 10.The United States
has figured in no naval warfare, but
has one converted yacht and five gun
boats informed The Teutonic allies
have lost in all 267 warships, while
our allies lost 25S-nearly draw
An interesting fact is that while Ger
many lost 81 ships by gunfre to
Great Britain's 80, the submarines
have taken toll of A British war
ships to Germany's Is. 1t would APP
pear that the British navy excels in
battle, the German in stealth.
1t is idle, however, to attempt any
estimate of the relative naval eff
cheney of the belligerents from these
figures. The fact that the British
navy is on active sea duty, cruising,
blockading, transporting troops, while
the German navy is cooped up be-
hind sheltering mines and guns, robs
them of much significance. The won
der is that under such conditions the
Germans should show such heavy
losses as they do. 1t is notable, by
the way. that no figures as to the
losses of submarines are given. That
is the secret of its naval organization
which Germany most jealously
sguard.-New York Sun.
