Islands In New York City.
“I was showing an Englishman our
city a week or two ago,” said a New
Yorker, “and was surprised to hear
him express astonishment at the num¬
ber of Islands within our municipal
boundaries. ‘Is this entire island a
part of New York city?’ he asked as I
took hint on several trolley rides over
on Staten Island. ‘And all these is¬
lands, too, are they New York city?’ be
inquired another day as he went up
the East river. Ills remarks pet me to
thinking, and I’ve discovered that not
one jt the really great cities of the
wor}d lias so many Islands within its
boundaries as New York. Staten Is¬
land In itself would make a good’slzed
city. Some of the other Islands, of
course, are hardly more than specks,
but they belong to New York city Just
the same.” ____
Can’t Twiddlo Their Thumbs.
The gorilla and chimpanzee, which
belong to the higher order of apes,
have many points of resemblance to
man, but there Is one thing they can¬
not do—that Is, twiddle their thumbs.
In the gorilla the thumb Is short and
does not reach much beyond the bot¬
tom of the first Joint of the forefinger.
It is very much restricted in its move¬
ments, and the animal can neither
twiddle his thumbs nor turn them
round so that the tips describe a circle.
There are the same number of bones in
the hand of a gorilla as in the hand ol
a man, but the thumbs of the monkey
have no separate flexor or bending
muscle. This is why a monkey always
keeps the thumb oh the same side as
the fingers and never bends It round
any object that may be grasped. In
tlif gorilla the web between the fingers
extends to the second joint, the fingers
taper to the tips, and there is a callos¬
ity on the knuckles on which the ani¬
mal rests when walking on all fours.
Fickleness In Penmanship.
Speaking of check signatures and
forgery, a downtown paying teller re
marked: “One of the most peculiar
points in our business is one little com¬
prehended by the public. 1 mean the
embarrassment caused by the man
whose signature Is seldom the same, or
nearly so. two weeks in succession.
“This fickleness is not Intentional. It
Is In almost every case temperamen¬
tal. The man guilty of it is generally
nervous and not infrequently is greatly
lacking in stability of character. At
times you, as a layman, would hardly
believe it possible that his signature
on two different checks was the work
of the same hand.
“Of course we come to know these
eases lu time, and there are always
certain characteristics in a person’s
handwriting which the expert can de
tect and which go far to convince
Nevertheless the changeable signature
a nuisance and involves an added

THE PELHAM'JOH4TE31AL, FRIDAY, NOV. a7 1908.
It is claimed that Newfoundland Is
without reptiles and that no snake,
frog, toad or lizard has ever been seen
there.
He Knew His Business.
An open moving van, piled high with
furniture, was proceeding slowly up
Third avenue In the Harlem section.
The driver, whose face denoted con¬
tentment and an Inclination to doze,
sat cross kneed, holding the reins loose¬
ly. The driver had arranged a com¬
fortable support for his back. This
was nothing less than a framed oil
painting about 3 by 4 feet in size, un¬
covered, and with the painting unpro¬
tected from the coatless, warm weath¬
ered shoulder blades. A citizen hailed
him from the curb.
“Hey! Don’t ruin that picture lean¬
ing against it that way!”
“Ah, g’wan!” said the driver, “Dis
ain’t de first time I drove furniture. I
know me business.”
And the van passed on.—New York
Globe.

Her Version of It.
She was a wee scrap of a thing just
three years old, but with a soul of a
heroine shining out of her great brown
eyes. It was her first visit to the zoo,
and the babel of queer noises and rows
of strange bigj beasts might weU have,
dftUntod—fctH? baby heart. ’ But’ she
scorned to seem afraid. Only- when
they approached the towering form of
the elephant did she draw back.
“I’m not goin’ too close, papa,” she
whispered; “I might scare him!”—Wo¬
man’s Home Companion.

that aren’t there.—New York Tele¬

Suffering Ladies

their sisters and take Cardui. Cardui is a non
mineral, non-intoxicating medicine for women. It
is for sick, weak ladies, with sick female organs.

It Will Help You
It is a genuine, curative medicine, that builds
up the female system and relieves female pain.
Mrs. M. A. St. Clair, of Eskdale, W. Va., writes:
“Before getting well. taking I Cardui, had suffered I had given for 3 up all with hope of j
years my
left side and was confined to niv bed, so I took Cardui,
and now Cardui has about cured my female trouble.”

Thieves and Humcr.
The reason why cockneys are such
smart thieves Is that they have a keen
sense of humor. The street arab picks
your pocket while he grins at you. It
is only stupid thieves who are serious.
Poor Oliver Twist's seriousness was
the cause of his arrest. The humor of
the Artful Dodger and Charley Bates
saved them.—Harry Furulss in Lon¬
don Strand Magazine.

now* We take a pride in taking care of the
interests of those who favor us with their
patronage. We would rather have a customer
fully satisfied than to have the profit of his or
her order. That is our business policy. It is
the reason we retain our old customers and
annually gain hundreds of new ones. It is
what has made this the most popular store in
this section.
If you live away from Albany, and place
your orders with us by mail, they will receive
the same scrupulously careful attention that
would be bestowed if you made a personal
visit to our store. Experience will prove it to
your full satisfaction.
