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.— Edward P.

S, Blakb, 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. ” And the records of the license clerk show that it was even so.—Chicago News.
