Money BoxeG

Money boxes to encourage thrift among the penny wise are ancient and popular institutions. A dic- tionary of 1885 mentions money boxes of potter's clay wherein boys put their money to keepe," and doubtless the thrifty child of all ages had his money box of some sort or another. Of late years metal has come into use, but the writer has recollections of an elaborate earth enware thatched cottage, into which the money was dropped through . slit in the roof, which only infinite patience could hit agaiw when 1t came to wriggling the mooney out. As lookup investment thsd cottage was unequaled.-Glasgow Herald.

 Met a Real Genius.

Met t,eal Ienius.
 The New York Yacht club x,as organized in lS44 at meeting held on board John C. Stevens schooner Gimcrack, which lay at anehor off the Battery. On Aug. 3 of that year nine vessels flying the pennant of the new club eruied to the east ward. That was the first New. fork Yacht club cruise. The clubs first race started in the Hudson off the clubhouse in the summer of 1915. The course lay to the Sandy Hook light vessel and return. There were eleven yachts entered. The frst annual regatta was held on June 6, 1S49, the course being from Hobo- ken around the southwest spit and return. It was in 1851 that Com modore Stevens and a number of New York Yacht club members formed syndicate and built the schooner yacht America. She crossed the ocean and won the loo ounce silver cup offered by Queen Victoria for . free for all race around the Isle of Wight.
 This is the famous Ameriea's cup, the most famous trophy in the realm of sport. Concerning the schooner tradition hands LIS down rather interesting story of an in- cident in her career in England. The boat was designed by George Steers, then only thirty-one years old, and he and his brother built her in William II. Brown's yard at the foot of East Twelfth street. The Steers brothers accompanied her when she went to England, and as her fame grow she attracted an increasing amount of attention. One day the Marquis of A1glcsca, 2 veteran of Waterloo, made his way aboard and asked to see the builder of the boat. Ar officer suggested that'h caiI NIr. Stevens.
 "Who's Mr. Stcvers?' asked the visitor.
 ''IIe's the owner of this vessel"
 "Did he invent hers"
 "No, sir.
 'WeIl, confound it," roared the old nobleman, q don't care any thing about the owner. want to see the man who had brains enough to design her."
 George Steers accordingly was summoned, and when the veteran saw ''mere boy" he sat down sud- denly on the cabin roof. Now, his trousers were white duck and the cabin had been freshly painted green. The result may be imagined. But the marquis didn't care. Hang the trousers," he cried, ~so long as Eve seen the genius who invented this boat"
 There.wa report that the com modore did not like this oveImucb- At all events the Steers brothers did not remain with the boat, but returned home. They were on the steamship Baltic en route for New York when the America won the now classic cup.-New York Post.
