Matches. ! i
The man who was old enough to
know better was chasing up and down
a Sixteenth street boarding house, try
ing to find a match to light a cigarette
with.
“Did it ever occur to you, ” he said
to the man who finally found a light
for him, “what a boon and a benison
the cigarette manufacturer has been to
the match manufacturer? Think of it a
moment. First, however, give me an
other match for this cigarette. I don’t
know how many cigarettes are made in
this country, but let us, for the sake of
argument, say there are a thousand
carloads a year. Well, it takes on an
average—another light, please—four
matches to the cigarette, and the manu
facturer of matches must therefore
make 4,000 carloads of matches just to
meet the cigarette demand. You may
not think 4,000 carloads is a great
quantity, but if you knew how hard it
was to get one match when your cigar
ette is out, you would think 4,000 car
loads wasn’t a few if you had to go
around begging them. I have never
given serious study to the matter, but,
looking at it casually, I should say the
match manufacturers owe an inestima
ble debt of gratitude to the cigarette
makers.”—New York Sun.
Cash Vtr«u« Glory.
An ordinary service to mankind is
usually paid for at current rates in legal
tender. An extraordinary service, not
involving the element of heroism, is re
warded by both legal tender and more
or less fame. The highest of all services,
rendered at the risk of life, is supposed
to receive its full compensation in glory,
unaccompanied by more sordid consid
erations. If, however, the hero of the
service last mentioned should not be
contented with his meed of glory, but
should demand more substantial reward,
he may receive it indeed, but at a large
discount from the other (and in senti
mental estimation more valuable) con
sideration.
Unlike the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick maker, who receive
tbeir quid pro quo without a thought
of humiliation, either in their own
minds or yours, the man who saves
your life at the risk of his own is looked
upon as almost if not quite disgracing
himself by accepting your proffered pe
cuniary reward, although he may, in
fact, be in far sorer need than any one
of the worthy trio who simply contrib
ute to your necessities or comforts.—

Review.

FAKE “FENCES.”
’ A Little Trick That la Worked la
Baxter Street.
“There was a time and that not so
t very long ago,’’ remarked an old time
puller in, “when almost every other
store in Baxter street was a ‘fence, ' or
pretended to be, in order to give custom
ers the idea that they were getting good
bargains. The clerk who took a hesitat
ing customer aside and whispered
‘fence’ was generally sure of a sale.
There are no genuine ‘fences’ in Baxter
street now, because clothing, shoes and
hats are so cheap, but some of the stores
still pretend to sell stolen goods.
“When a customer in one of these
stores has looked everything over in the
shop and hasn’t made a purchase, the
salesman tells him that he has a little
‘fence* down stairs and urges upon him
the necessity of keeping it quiet on ac
count of the police. Os course the cus
tomer won’t say a word. So down stairs
they go to the alleged ‘fence, ’ which gen
erally proves to be a big trunk packed
with goods.
“ While showing the contents of the
trunk the salesman keeps up a running
yarn about the famous criminals who
brought the goods to the store.
“Finally, after showing a lot of stuff
of the same quality and pattern the
customer refused to buy up stairs, the
salesman gets him to try on something,
and as quality, workmanship and per
fect fit always go with ‘fence’ goods,
there is a sale made. This fake ‘fence’
answers sale purposes as well as the
genuine, ” concluded the puller in, “and
there is no risk attached to it. ” —New
York Sun.
A Naval Row, 1702.
At 6 this evening Captain Norris
coming on board this ship (the flagship),
, my Lord Hamilton, Captain Ley, Cap
, tain Wishart and Captain Trevor were
standing on the quarter deck, and as
Captain Norris came up Lord Hamilton
asked him if he had taken any more
wine or brandy. The other answered
no, upon which Captain Trevor asked
the price of his claret, whether he
might have any at 4 Ji. a hogshead.
Norris said he would have 6 Ji. or salt
water, and then Captain Ley said he
would rather the prizes were ashore
than he would give 6 li. the hogshead;
upon which Captain Norris said he was
a rascal that wished his prizes ashore.
The other replied he was a rascal, if he
called him so, and then Captain Norris
struck Captain Ley and threw him over
the gun, which Mr. Hopson hearing,
as he and I were in my cabin, ran out
and upon inquiry found he (Norris) had
hurt Captain Ley, and by the admiral’s
directions ordered him to be confined,
upon which Captain Norris drew his
sword and offered to stab Captain Ley,
but Admiral Hopson, holding his hand,
ordered him to be disarmed and con
fined in Mr. Rayney’s cabin.—“ Jou
rnal of Sir John Rooke. ”
A Greek Genina.
Diamandi, a native of Pylaros, one of
the Greek islands, is a remarkable cal
culator. After a mere glance at a black
board on which 30 groups of figures are
written he can repeat them in any order
and deal with them by any arithmetical
process. It is said that he never makes
an error in calculations involving bil
lions, and be can extract square or cube
roots with marvelous rapidity and ac
curacy. An eminent German specialist
declared the other day that all these
ready reckoners were idiots. This is not
the case with Diamandi, who writes
poetry and novels in the Intervals of
business and shows considerable intel
lectual capacity.
Effective Reflecting.
“It is so sudden)” exclaimed the fair
haired girl, who had just received a
proposal to merge her identity in that
of a would be protector. “ You must
give me time to reflect ”
“No, no,” retorted the diplomatic
young man. “One whose dazzling
beauty makes a mirror ashamed of
itself should never go into the reflect
ing business Let this solitaire diamond
do the reflecting. ”

show that it was even so.—Chicago
