Money People Present Common His Un womanly Every vocation in life affords oppor for the king of studies that of human nature or as Pope says The proper study of The railroad conductor sees one of the pages of the human panorama the sees another The stamp and delivery clerks at the postoffice deal with still another class and have a chance to study people well In the and at the cir cus you see the gieat characteristics of the American gullibility What a hungry people they are If there is new under the sun the Ameri can people will see it if they can get to it There is yet another place to study some odd phases of human nature and that is ot a good busy bank The teller has a splendid opportunity as he stands behind the wire screen and looks calmy through the There he 9 oclock in the morning until 3 in the after noon save a short respite at dinner time to pacify the disquietude of the stomach At either hand are stacks of gold and silver and large bundles of bills And what a wretched life that money leads In and out in and out all day long All the same the teller has some peculiar ex Not long ago a young man stood in the line along toward the time waiting his turn to get a check cashed The pieces of gold and silver made a merry but cold jingle as they rattled to and fro on the glass plate and tho rustle of the bank notes fell soothingly upon the ears of the bystanders When will the bills rustle in my hand thought tho young man and the gold pieces ironically jingled In the PEOPLE WAITING TOTIS There are many classes of people wait Ing their turn some impatiently and oth ers quietly and patiently There were business men who clasped in their hands bank books they were waiting to make their daily deposits On some was a look of grim triumphant satisfaction a consciousness that another victory had been won in the mad battle for wealth On others was an expression of petulant Impatience Neither were the working men absent and occasionally a woman pnt in her nervous appearance thing very noticeable was the fact that a ma of the checks presented were quickly handed back by the teller with the remark You will have to indorse that check Write your name on the back This is the commonest requirement of a bank yet there are many men who for get It or at least do not heed It A great many checks are made out payable to the order of the person to whom the check is given and unless reminded by the teller eome parties think the check needs no in so long as they present it them selves Each check is subjected to a rapid though close scrutiny by the teller and down it goes and the money is ing provided the name is good There was a young farmer in line and ho elbowed his way up to the and looked at the teller after vey he handed in a check for a small amount The teller glanced at the signa ture quickly turned the check over and as quickly handed it to the farmer with This check is payable to the order of Blank his name must be on the But Im Simpson That makes no difference You will have to indorse it Well gimme a pen You will one on the desk near Where did yon say for me to sign it tne HE GOT IT DOWN AT LAST The man went to the desk and cau wrote his name on the back of the at the same time making all kinds of grimaces and putting his mouth through as many contortions as there were crooks in the letters spelling his name He then handed the check over with the remark There you are 1 aint much used to fists on checks but I reckon thatll git me the money wont it He got the money grasped it tightly in his right hand rammed it into his pocket and left Tis pity but tis time that women sometimes take undue advantage of the of man It is merely a bit of human nature now and then A woman came in the door and instead of waiting to be given a place by the men she crowded right in front of them and pre sented her check Probably the same spirit prompted her that prompts four young ladies to walk across a crossing abreast on a muddy day and allow the men to step aside into the mud It might be called selfishness but its idiocy It didnt take long for the student to learn his lesson there The in conversation with the teller asked him if he was bothered with forged checks He replied Sometimes I am but I have not yet been caught I tell you in a ticklish position now and then when a check is presented We want to be sure its genuine and at the same time do not wish to affront the person presenting it And then we frequently have to positively refuse a cheot on account of the doubtful signature There are many attempts made to beat banks and a teller has some chance to study rascality and cheek When a business man of good standing presents a check we dont examine it so closely as when a stranger presents one but I can say this that houesty and integrity have a money value in Blade the Now Substance The plastic substance intro by M Potel Is formed of a mixture of gelatine glycerine and tannin to which may be added sulphate of baryta or zinc white Is moulded while still hot and when cool yields to manipu lation Its facility of working permits it to be treated the same as bronze and adapts it to all kind of mountings Itcan be used to seal jars hermetically for the fabrication of indestructible dolls heads for the composition of an artificial marble Budget At the Base of Pillar Miss Clara of the Shakespeare We read Julius Caesar this afternoon I think the most thrilling part of the play is where at the base of statue Mr Featherly not of the Shakespeare And did he fall all the waj from the Bazar She Forty Tears The sea gives up its dead sometimes in a peculiarly tragic way a wrick have been washed ashore coast Of Maine which have been as down A and The inhabitants of Mexico usa almost entirely homemade boots shoes gaiters slippers and so far wear any at all Shoes in Mexico are a European intro and do not properly belong to the national costume A large proportion of probably a majority do not wear shoes at all The sandat which Is a sole of leather rawhide or woven fiber strapped to of the f pot j with strings of the some material is the j only foot covering used by this class of peo ple and as every man is his own shoe maker and the climate requires no protec tion for instep or ankle the national san dal is doubtless the most economical com and healthy shoeing that can bo worn in this country In proof of this the infantry regiments of the Mexican army armed and equipped otherwise without regard to expense still wear the leather sandal in preference to shoes not solely for the sake of economy but because it is considered generally healthier keeps the feet in tetter condi tion is more easily repaired or replaced and makes easier marching The population of the Re public is chiefly of European origin or de scent and such of the Indian population as by education and association have learned to prefer European fashions and modes of living This class has inherited from their Indian as well as their Spanish ancestors remarkably small feet and hands upon which they pride themselves considerably consequently a handsome and elegantly shaped shoe is more es teemed in Mexico than a sound anil sub stantial one and commands a readier sale Hence the cheaper shoes mace in the country if not so strong and durable are more carefully modeled and several sizes smaller than the average trade shoe made in the United Commercial Bulletin Curiosities of English A plain man would think that taking and carrying away are words easily in but what is taking and carry ing away The cases decided are vari ous For instance goods are tied to a string one end of fastened to the bottom of a counter A man having taken and carried them as for as the string permitted it was decided that he hadnot taken and carried away the goods Another man however removed a parcel from one end of a wason to other and it was found that he had and carried away the goods A thief also who snatched a diamond from a ladys ear and dropped it In her hair was found guilty of technically taking and carrying There are other curiosities of the law as to things which can not be stolen Thus it is not larceny to take earth to make an embankment nor to take water unless it be stored in pipes Then jt would be lar ceny to steal a wild animal kept for or profit but not if it were kept for curi osity or amusement as in a me It has been decided for instance that even when tamed and salable can not be subjects of larceny Mr Jus tice Stephen in his Living wild animals in the enjoyment of their natural liberty whether thay have es caped from their confinement or not are not capable of being and this would apply we suppose to pet monkeys and parrots which have got loose It even applies oddly enough to Although it may be an offense to pursue and kill them it is not larceny to steal them when living but it is if they are dead for then they become the property of the owner of the soil on which they die These seem very fine

be looked for He is a person of great elegance well made of person and having small feet He is often handsome though not neces sarily so and he is invariably Wf si dressed his garments being of fine material and having that quality quite unusual in the dress of Englishmen of looking as if they were made for him His hair has the fighting cut His face and hauls are irre clean his ears are

made up of searchers in the various patent office reports They are provided with quantity of and an assort ment of sharp pencils These men are in ventors in search of original id oas in me juet as those other mon at that table are authors hunting for original thoughts in the tones of ancient writers The reports and the British patents are continually laid under contri bution by these inventors and results of their investigations will be seen in fu ture patent office reports At those tables too can be seen bevies of girls the direction of a schol astic dame researches into art Isolated figures here and there can be seen making copious quotations from dusty volumes Some of these people are daily habitues of the library year in and year out What most of them do with their notes no one

Felix L Oswald in Chicago Times Care Much Abont It does father seem to regard Bay coming here asked of little Miss upstairs to present herself guess he nothing about replied So Se has ho objections eh my tondon Statistics on the of the Genera Buckle it will made very free use of the statistics of suicide in London to support his theory that the moral actions of men are the pro duct not of their individual of the general condition of society From these statistics he showed that during a long series of years the average annual number of suicides in the metropolis was 240 and so great was the regularity of the that within the period ia question the extreme oscillation was from 213 the lowest number to 266 the highest number recorded in a single year This theory of mechanical regularity is urged with a good deal of force in Dr recent work on suicides in which he seeks to demonstrate the existence of u law of suicides governed wholly by physical causes and to establish the proposition that there is no real independence in human actions In brief Dr holds with Buckle in a given state of society a certain number of persons must end their own and finds in the general uniformity of suicidal statis tics strong support for his hypothesis It appears however from the figures given in the London papers showing the number ot suicides attempted in that city during 18S5 that there are variations in these phenomena which are not entirely consistent with the theory For the first year since records have been kept tho males remanded on a charge oi attempting their own lives exceeded the females Indeed while there had been only two or three months in the last de cade males than females wera arrested in London for this offense in 1835 this happened in seven months Buckle enumerates as among the chief causes of suicide political excitement mercantile excitement and the misery produced by the dearness of and it will at once occur to the reader that the two first named which from their very nature affect men to a greater extent than women were in exceptionally active operation in London last year The po crisis was precipitated early in the year and outlasted it while the financial and commercial conditions which con prevailed certainly de tendency to disturb the mental equilibrium the male population Political excitement and business depres sion were by no moans confined to the capital but existed throughout the kingdom to fully as great a degree and if the suicidal statistics of the provinces for the year show an of males over fe males it will be reasonable to conclude that the fact is due to those agencies It is worth noting perhaps that in Lon don last year as always before the sui cidal mania was far more prevalent in summer than at any other season there having been 141 arrests for suicidal at tempts in the summer quarter 93 intha autumn 77 in the spring and 68 in tha Times An English Home for Inebriates The Dalrymple Home for Inebriates near

Instinctively aa Branched of Bed and Green Tell Bins Dead Black my dear re marked an old New Torker to a young companion the other does a great many more things than you might im agine It settles the rank of families the style of carriages the price of and even of stores The com incredulous but wisely maintained silence and the old Hew Yorker went on Yes even the colors used in painting places of business conventional Perhaps you might not have noticed certain colors are in recognized by residents of this city as representing certain branches ot commerce Take for instance red Think of a street and try to call up all the places painted that color What do you see Tea coffee stores Right Wherever you go York or its surroundings and also in a great portion of the United States red and green tell of tea and cof fee Maybe its the similarity of colors to the article sold that caused the painting or perhaps it was first adopted as a dis mark by some importing com pany But a dealer in those goods nowa days is pretty bold when he uses tight but red and green for the painting of his establishment Going with the painting is a collection of colored lights giving a remarkably brilliant appearance tothe It is conventional but beau Then again who ever saw a Chi nese laundry that was not announced in great red letters and that was not screened from the vulgar gaze by a red curtain across the window and door A blue laundry is absurd and so is a green one but is the color they grow and I dont believe a Chinaman would think he could have success with any other color but red And how about blue In imagination you can see a number of localities with bright blue Signs and lettering All of them have a multitude of wires running into their tipper portions while from their doors below dart little boys in blue Tel offices they The origin of this custom is as queer as it can be It was started by the Western Union com pany as a trademark but it was promptly imitated and all the telegraph com panies use it It is a cold bright color well suited for electricity and that is per haps why it is used so sively OP VARIOUS KINDS For another conventional color go into by and by you

hideous pleasant and conven perpetuates the horrid idea Ac undertakers office is trimmed with black a deep lustreless black his wagon is plain black with a little silver plate and he looks like an at tendant at a funeral Did yon ever notice that an undertaker generally has black eyes and half P Very few red heads among them All is gloom and duskiness The undertakers twin brother the has his color too He cant use black so he tries a rich warm red the blood of life witha shadow upon it Liquor stores are fitted up outside in rich woods polished and grained and a brown hue invariably accompanies a drinking room The signs are usually goldcolored and the tall arrangement in the window is of rosewood or cherry and suggests a bed of state for the departed Liquor dealers dont use gloomy colors but their conventional tints are sugges tive In combinations of colors also there is the mark of custom Look at the barbers They use two combinations in New York red white and blue and red yellow and black The colors alone frequently indi cate the shop as poles have gone fashion The dodrs will be painted in stripes or a square wooden box on the sidewalk will have checkers of the three tints No one ever asks what these colors signify They know it must be a barbel shop and can be nothing else The drug gists also reveal their uses to the unlet tered by their globes of red yellow blue and green They are understood when a mortar and pestle would be a mystery and these same people are adopting the custom of putting a piece of red glass in the lamppost nearest to them as an ad New York The Treatment of Fevers The old injunction to starve a fever and stuff a cold followed for many centuries as containing the quintessence of human wisdom contained of great mag Countless thousands of fever stricken victims were offered as a sacri flee to this idea of starvation A cold is a moderate fever if was a good practice then starvation in any wrong Experiment has shown the truth of such inference
