A street Incident in Chicago.

Of this wide city, especially on the South

wretches TO cross your path. II, however,

Imitation in China.

China is hard-money country, and the
usual currency is copper cash, each of
which represents about "A mill, or / 900 to
the dollar Between 1880 and 1860 the
copper cash became scarce and high, and
the Government of He-en FOong, then
Emperor, hit upon a happy expedient TO
make money plenty, by making cash of
iron, which was cheaper material than
copper and more plenty. OF course they
expected an iron cast with the Emperor's
name on it to be as good as copper cash I;
but confidence, popular faith, is a more
necessary ingredient in circulating me-
dium than the material of which il is
made, and, from the beginning, a copper
coin was worth two of the iron, and as the
iron multiplied and became plenty its
price went down till, in April, 1857, it
took 5, 700 iron cash, about 100 pounds of
iron, TO make dollar.
Banks sprang up TO supply the de-
ficiency of copper cash and deluged the
country with bills. In brief space paper
money became plenty, but its price dc.
creased in the ratio OF its multiplication
till il took 5000 cash in bills to represent
1000 in copper, the value Of dollar; and
in the spring of 1858 dollar commanded
10000 and 1000 cash in bills. Rice be-
came dear, business stagnated, and a
famine was imminent. Mobs arose, gut.
ted the banks, assailed the palace Of the
Viceroy, broke open the gates and de-
manded of his venerable eminence to
know why, while money was so plenty,
rice was so dear.
Will no lessons, heather or Christian,
ancient or modern, teach men the folly of
the oft-repeated effort TO multiply money

A Man of Nerve.

On Monday forenoon number of trot-
ters were being exercised at the driving
park, among them Effie Deane, driven by
the well-known horse raiser, Alden Gold
smith. The horses were trotting at live
ly pace and were all punched in heap
when one of Effie's reins broke, and Gold
smith toppled over backward, and every
spectator expected to see him drop from
the sulky and mangled by the feet of the
crowd of horses behind This tragedy
was prevented, however, for Goldsmith,
whose feet caught in the foot.rests of the
thills, recovered himself and then gave an
exhibition of nerve that was most thrill
ing. The mare, released from the restraint
of the taut Teins, broke into a run and flew
ahead like the wind leaving all of the
others behind. While she was going at
this rate Goldsmith crawled over her back
until by reaching forward he could get
hold of the snafile of the bit, and then, ly-
ing upon her neck, he brought her up
with a sudden pull that carried her almost
perpendicularly in the air. He was heart
lily applauded by all who witnessed the
daring deed.-KingstOn (N. ~ Freeman.

Lifting Effects Of Earthquakes.

Another feature of these phenomena is
the upheavai OF the ground observed dur
ing the prevalence of most earthquakes,
which is one cause of the sea retiring an
other being the suction of the approach
ing wave when the center Of the convul-
sion has been removed from the shore.
During the great earthquake at Lisbon the
bar at the mouth of the Tagus was laid
bare by the upheaval, and the master of q
vessel lying in that river at the time
stated that his large anchor was thrown
up from the bottom and seemed to swim
on the surface of the water. Other results
of the upward movementduring this catas-
trophe were observed elsewhere. The
water in a pond at Dunstal, in Suffolk,
was jerked up into the form of a pyramid.
At some places the water was tossed out of
the wells. at Loeb Lomond large stone
was forced out of the water Rocks were
raised into the air from the bottom of the
Atlantic, and on board vessel about
forty leagues from the island of st. Vim
which were lashed, bounced up and the
sailors were thrown foot and half per
pendicular from the deck, the ship sinking
into the water Immediately afterward as
low as the main-chains. At Riobamba, in
South America, on the 9th of January,
1897, the bodies of many of the inhabitants
were thrown, by this vertical action, upon
the hill Of La Cullca, which is several
hundred feet high, and on the opposite
side of the river. During some of these
convulsions in Italy paving-stones have
been tossed into the air and found with
their lower sides uppermost; and at the
time of late convulsion in South Amen-
ca the rising of the ground caused the sea

The Inevitable Baby.

At every resort this summer, from the
crowded mountain hotel to the tent on the
beach, whatever else was wanting, there
was always to be found the inevitable
baby, with its retainers, the mother in the
chief place of servitude. II was not by
any means, as she supposed, regarded by
the rest of the boardcrs as boon, some
thing dropped from heavenly places
There were growing and swearing enough
in the other rooms when II shrieked all
night with collie, and the interest of the
old bachelors in its teething or pink toes
was not half so fervent as she fondly imag-
ined. Yet they, with everybody else,
crowded about her when she came out on
the porch with 1t in the morning. She
was a hOmely little woman, and the baby
little else than long sweep Of muslin
drapery, with a round bald head atop /;
but there was something in her face as
she looked at it which drew every passer-
by nearer and warmed his heart, just as q
message from his own home would have
done, or glimpse of the great mountains,
or sudden stirring song. 1t was the old
picture of the mother and child, of which
artists never tire, and which did so much
to humanize the world for many centuries.
No matter who this young mother may
be, whether Laura in silk or Dolly the
washerwoman, it is the love in her insig.
nifcant face which makes it rich and rare
for us-the love and absolute faith in her
child. Every woman gives to her sickly,
dull baby the royal title which Germany
found for her master thinker-hc is the
only one. Into whatever wrecks life may
fall for her in the future, lie is certain-a
rock to build upon, no sandy foundation.
We all knew her year or two ago, and
laughed at her, perhaps. She was Portia
then, wooed by Bassanio or John, listen
ing to Collins story of love over the barn
yard gate We laughed at her; but there
was pathetic break in our laughter, after
ala remembrance that something which
was very real and ennobling to this girl
and her lover had once been ennobling
and real to us, and was now but a fantas-
tic, silly dream. Like "all mankind"
we loved lover for the sake of what we
ourselves had lost; we jested with the
girl, perhaps, but tenderly. Since she
was baby she never had seemed to need
care so much, to be so worthy of rever.
euce. We knew that her lover was no
Bassanio or Colin; but very ordinary,
dull young fellow, and not at all the ideal
paragon before whom she abased herself
and worshiped, and we knew that some
day she would be forced to look at him
through our eyes.-RebeccaH Harding Davis,

Fierce sir Thomas.

Thomas; / call him Sir Thomas; ne de-
serves 10 be knighted for his virtues. But
Sir Thomas IS a determined monarch in
his own yard the feline that enters there,
on any prctext, cannot retreat too rapidly
for seifpreservation. A short time ago a
kitten was adopted into the family and
carefully guarded at first, il being pre-
sumed, from the cats well-known char
acter, that he would make some very
sharp objections. To the surprise of
everyone he was delighted with the little
creature, and forthwith constituted him
self father, mother and friend to il. He
will lie on chair for hours with the kit
ten asleep in his fond protecting arms.
One day the latter, through non-ob
servance Of dietary laws, had fit. Sir
Thomas shared in the general excitement,
and was observed to treat the invalid with
more than usual tenderness afterward
That night, instead Of permitting his pei
to lodge in the yard with him, as was
their custom, Sir Thomas conducted IL to
the cellar, there smuggling II for repose in
COSY corner, as much as to say: " You
have been sick, dear, and must not ex.
pose Yourself" lie then betook himself
