3400 IN CITY HAVE UPS AND DOWNS IN LIFE? NO ELEVATOR

Rich- man, poor man, beggar man, Uheif. rise in Richmond but all that go tip come down! Sounds like throwing cold water, but the reference is to the 3,400 Richmonditee who go up and down the city's elevators each day. Seventeen hundred trips, or thereabouts, are made every day by tie "building scalers," it is estimated. This count includes both "up" and "down" Journeys. Fred Heuing, "pilot" of the Knollenberg elevators, leads with a daily estimate of 600 trips, three-fourths of which are to the second floor of the building. If he only took one a day his daily "companions" would be many, but the average trip carries at least two persons, making a daily average of 1,200. Peter Gerhune, the air man in the Union National Bank building, makes more than 100 trips a day, and carries at least 200 passengers. Oeorge Worley, captain of the Second National bank building "airship," carries a third more passengers on Saturday afternoon than on any other tlay in the week, he believes. This average is 300 trips up and down. Other elevators, too, carry their biggest loads on Saturday. Some of 'Em to Wed At the courthouse William Trussler is master of rising ceremonies. He carries more than 300 people a day 1o the courtroom and other offices of the county building, making at least 150 round trips, he believes. Mr. Trussler transports as many as 10 people at a time on some trips. Con Anions presides over the Colonial building elevator, making nigh mo 400 trips a day and carrying heavy loads all day long. Along with the rich and poor go doctor, lawyer and merchant chief, milliner, street sweeper, manicurist, insurance man. and so down the list of Richmond's melting pot. Just Tell Everything. Nowhere can human nature be Ftudied quite so well as in an elevator, say the men who run them. Folks confide secrets, tell each other what they are going to buy , when they are going to be married, and how ther mother-in-laws treat them. Elevator men are not supposed to listen, but what, a lot they hear. Timid old lades and bentlemen unused to the elevator fashion, often refrain from ridng, and instead, walk up three and four flights of stairs to "save t.heir nerves the wear." Generally children scream with delight on their first elevator Jaunt, but occasionally a youngster gets a phase of sea-sickness and refuses to enjoy the sport.

Little Ceremony Now When

King George "Dines Oat LONDON. The king and queen have been much in evidence In London recently. The other day an equerry, who with some specially honored host, explained the ceremonial attendant on ing George'a preparation for dining at an informal meal given by a ducal host, when ordinary evening dress rather than the knee breeches and sick stockings of a ceremonial occasion is necessary. It seems that as soon as his majesty is dressed he leaves bis dressing room and passes into the king's room in order to attend to any important letters or telegrams that require answering before he leaves the palace. In the meantime, another equerry is giving the exact route of the king's drive to the dinner party to a detective whose iob it is to shadow the sovereign from the time he leaves Luckingham palace until he returns. This detective also informs every policeman the exact time of the king's motor will pass the particular point of the route that he guards, while he himself follows the royal carriage on a bicycle and enters the house of his majesty's host almost at the same moment as does the king. A round table is usually selected, at which to entertain the king, and hiB host sits on his majesty's right, while if company includes an ambassador he is placed at the left of the royal chair. Only one wine is served on these semi-formal occasions, and often the king does not drink this, but asks instead for a glass of soda water. Since the war it is noticeable that the royal table is somewhat less lavishly provided with wines than in former days.

His majesty never drinks liquors. He smokes a cigarette with his coffee. A game of bridge is the after dinner entertainment, and the king, as a rule, leaves the house at 10:45 o'clock at the latest. In the good old Victorian times horse guards and mounted police used to trot sharply be6ide the royal equipage whenever the queen-empress went for an airing. But nowadays not so much attention is paid to regal state, and the panoply and splendor of the sovereign are only shown on special occasions.

Decline of the Parlor. One of the large manufacturing companies of the United States is engaged in the construction of a great number of houses for its employees, and while there are many novel features in the way of making conveniences, the most striking thing about the homes is the total absence of the usual parlor. The space is thrown into the other rooms. It looks as if the parlor was out of fashion.

Canada's Promising Water Power An important feature of the waterpowers of Canada is their fortunate situation with respect to existing commercial centers.

METAL GOGGLES Schrapnel goggles are made of metal entirely, except a pad of rubber between them and the flesh for protection's sake, and the wearer sees through a slot in the metal in front of his eyes. This is large enough for him to obtain a clear view of the surroundings, but not large enough to permit of the passage of missiles.

Appreciation for the Potato. In this country the chief, and practically only, interest in the potato today is as a vegetable for the table. We are greatly surpassed in this use by Europe, and Germany in particular. In that land the average annual per capita consumption was seven bushels in normal times, while our own was two and a half. The laborers of eastern Germany ate 17 bushels per annum. The other European countries are. as a rule, far above us and the diet of many an Irishman is said to be potatoes and spring water for breakfast, dinner and supper. In addition to this direct consumption, uses of the potato largely unknown to Uncle Sam are for flour, starch, dextrine, Eluecose and alcohol.

BIG PORT AT JAMAICA. A great project has been proposed for Jamaica bay, on Long Island, which will make a great commercil port second only to New York in its capacity.

The improvement will cost about $15,000,000.

The Finger Nail's History The rapidity of the growth of the nails is indicative of the health. The growth of the nails on the right hand is in most people more rapid than of those on the left hand. Another curious point is that the rate of growth of the nail depends directly on the length of the finger; thus the nails on the two middle fingers of men grow more rapidly than those on the first and third fingers, respectively, and these in turn are more speedy in the growth than those on the little finger.

OIL FROM COOKED ROCKS There are two sources from which oil may be obtained, one from the underground lakes found chiefly in Russia and America, and the other from a rock called shale, which is saturated with oil like a sponge with water. In Scotland several million gallons of oil have been obtained from shale for many years past. Shale mining is similar to coal mining, it being soft and flaky. It is put into big cooking vessels and cooked until it gives off the oil in the form of a vapor, which is condensed and purified, resulting in the ordinary paraffin oil.

STUNT TO CURE HICCOUGHS. A Spanish physician claims to have been very successful in curing stubborn cases of hiccoughs by this treatment: The patient lies down and draws up his knees until his thighs are pressed tightly to his abdomen, the lower part of the legs being pressed against the thighs by bending the knees. The position is held for several minutes. The effect of this is to press the abdominal organs up against the diaphragm and to sustin the pressure until the diaphragm ceases its spasmodic contraction.

SAND BATHS FOR THE JERBOA

I The jerboa, a strange little animal

that lives in Africa, looks like a tiny kangaroo and belongs to the same family as the rat, is called the cleanest animal there is. The jerboa digs a trench in the clean sand and rolls over and over in the sand, which is the little animal's method if keeping clean.
