It was the common opinion of writers on economies in the seven­ teenth century that much currency was hidden in ceilings, behind wainscots and in secret drawers. Hogarth in his print of “The In- lieriianee,’’ forming one of the set of “The Rake’s Progress,w has de­ picted a shower of coins falling from the ceiling of the room where a workman had accidentally disturbed the molding. Old cabinets and sec­ retaries.of any size have usually one or two secret'drawers or cupboards, often most ingeniously contrived. It is surprising how well these se­ cret corners elude detection, even when their existence may he ex­ pected or inferred. Some years ago the wife of a Kentish laborer was breaking up an old chest of drawers when she discovered a secret com­ partment nearly filled with gold coins of the reigns of William III. and George II. The chest had been purchased for a few shillings about twenty years previously, and the fact that this little store of coins had not been discovered earlier was all the more strange, because in nil probability the drawers had been several times repaired. A curious list of hiding places for money is afforded by two old books of memoranda and receipts relating to the I’ulham Pottery works in 1G03 and 1898.' There arc 210 guineas in a wooden box in a hole under the fireplace in tho garret. There are 4(50 more in two covered receptacles under the fireplace in tho old laboratory. Behind the door of the little parlor there is a can containing some milled money. Two hoses full of money were plneed in two lioleg of the great furnace, from which they were to he drawn by a long, crooked iron standing behind the kitchen door. In all ten or a dozen such hiding places are named, and the money was variously contained in boxes, bags, cans, pots and purses. There can be little doubt that the practice of hoarding money and val­ uables in private houses gave great encouragement to crime. A glance through the pages of early volumes of the Annual Register, largely de­ voted to the chronicles of crime, re­ veals a number of apparently hasti­ ly planned robberies, which resulted in rich, hauls out of all proportion to the occasion. Borne thieves get in at the garret window of a house in Devonshire square and carry off from the owner’s bedchamber an iron cheat containing cash, notes and other valuables to the amount of £10,000. Two men enter the cus­ tom house at Limerick and in a few minutes carry off cash to the amount of about £1,800. Such is the character of the crimes which were then most successful—a hold, quick hid for the treasure chest, which was almost certain to he well stocked and very often convenient for removal by two or three thieves acting in concert*-AV.

Of the large family of sharks the great man eater species (Oarcharo- don earclmrias), nr niuhi, as the na­ tive knew it, was naturally the most dreaded. This shark is not go com­ mon in Hawaiian waters us it in in the Wert Indies and in the Indian ocean, but its appearance is fre­ quent enough to have made the is­ landers thoroughly familiar with its Voracious habit*. Strange as it may seem, theywlid not hesitate to kill it, aud in fact the feat was, at least under some circumstances, consider­ ed to endow those who accomplished it with some of the attributed vir­ tues or powers of the slain mon­ ster. The manner of hunting the man eater is a part of recorded tradi­ tion, and it is as interesting as it is curious. Elaborate preparations were made, in which the priest doc- the surface. After a day or more of this a noose of rope would be slipped over the shark’s head and tho canoes headed for homo, tho shark following, a willing captive so long as tho food was forthcoming,' In this manner the tamed and partially intoxicated fish would be brought close to a sloping beach, when tho rope would he passed ashore and the great creature pull­ ed out of the water by the islanders and soon dispatched. The body Would be cut up and various parts of it distributed among the captors, each of whom was supposed to be thus rendered more powerful and less' subject to evil influences, ac­ cording to the part he had taken in the capture. The man who placed the noose over the shark’s head was accounted to have been rendered practically invincible. Why Ho Was In College. A student of the University of Wisconsin was notably poor in his class work and seemed to take little Interest in what lie was doing. Finally one of bis professors, could standvit no longer. -He called the boy aside to give him a lecture, which he hoped would awaken more ambition in him. “Now/’ he said, “my hoy, you must have some goal ahead.

Realizing the nerve wracking tendency of too close confinement and warm sultry weather upon salespeople who must of necessity be ever on the alert, it has been voted by the members of The Merchants’ Association of Springfield to close their re­ spective places of business every Wednes­ day at noon during July and August. This will give the employees a mid-week half holiday for rest or recreation, as they choose, and will be better able to properly care for the thousands of patrons of the Springfield stores. The members of the Association had in mind the large array of out-of-town shop­ pers when action on the Wednesday clos­ ing was taken, as it was agreed ' that the aim of the organization to make shopping in Springfield a real pleasure instead of a task must be kept up to the highest point of efficiency. The store service of Spring­ field’s mercantile establishments cannot be excelled and this accomplishment has been attained by the owners providing every convenience and showing due con­ sideration for their salespeople, who, in reciprocation are always ready and will­ ing to extend every courtesy to shoppers. H A V E . Y O U ? Have you heard of the plan of The Merchants’ Association to pay the car­ fare of all out-of-town customers? If you haven’t it will be to your interest to drop a postal to WILBUR M. FAULKNER, Secretary of The Association, and receive full particulars by return mail. All persons making inquiry before July 1th will receive without cost one of the regular Rebate ' Books, which, when properly filled in, will entitle the holder to hi$ or her round trip railroad or traction fare to any point within 40 mile» of Springfield.
