The Treasury finds that the cost o
casting of the new silver dollar all over
the country will he enormous. In
considering how toget the coin into cir.
culation, this obstacle is found to be a
heavy one. How the transportation
can be successfully made Is not n
question, since the express companies
are entirely safe, but the charges are
something appalling. The subject was
considered in the Cabinet on Friday,
and the Post-office Department has
been asked if arrangements cannot be
made for sending the silver to the diff
ferent bank repositories as third-class
matter through the mail. Packages
and boxes of government gold, paper
and material weighing hundreds of
pounds are now sent through the
Post-ofiice Departments and it is hoped
by the Treasury that silver dollars
may also be sent that way, not only
by the government, but by private par
ties. s.-[Washington Special to Phila-

For THE CREDIT OF THE FAMILY.
"A young gentleman was passing a
little girl on Seventh street yesterday
who was sitting on the doorsteps and
making the air melodious humming
over II tune. He was interested by
the sweet and intelligent appearance
of the child, and accosting her, the
following dialogue took place: "Sissy,
what's your pas name?" This was po-
litely answered by the little girl.
"How many brothers have your
"Four or five "How many sisters p
"Four of fve." The young mans
curiosity being satisfied he passed on.
The mother Of the little 4-year old
(who had neither brother nor sister,
overheard the conversation, and call
ing her in asked her why she had sto
ried to the man, and received the fol
lowing cute reply: "Well, mamma,
didn't want the gentleman to think We
were so poor as to have no children.

reader. A patent outside is the
technical term applied to many coun-
try newspapers, the outside pages of
which are printed in the large cities
and sold by wholesale. The editor
then has only to Gil the inside pages
with local news and editoiial:--

Frogs are sold in great numbers in
the Milanese markets by those who
breed them for sale. We are told
that they are brought from the frog
geries alive in baskets, from which
small lots are taken into the apron of
a salewoman and kept covered to pre-
vent escape. The frog is held with
the left hand, its nose sheared of, the
edge of the skin seized and with a sim
gle movement stripped of to the ends
Of the toes, the true inwardness re-
moved. and the squirming dainty is
thrown into dish ready for use. They
are thus dispatched at the rate of ten
per minute by an expert frogster.
When a customer approaches the mass
is stirred up to show that they are yet
fresh and alive, and the ambition Of
the purchaser is to get them into a
stewpan before their legs forget their
cunning. They persist in muscular
movement for an hour after losing
their skin.

The work of repentance is not the
work Of an hour, day, or year, but
the work of a life. A sincere peni-
tent makes as much conscience of re-
penting daily, as he does of believing
daily; and he can as easily content
himself with one act of faith, or love,
or Joy, as he can content himself with
one act of repentance.

o portion of Don Juan Forster's
Santa Margarita ranch, in San
Mateo valley, near the Los Ange.
les line, for the settlers who are
about to colonize the ranch under
the agreement recently entered in
to between Don Juan and Mr.. Soto.
The valley is about one mile wide
and runs back several miles into
the mountains. 1t has running
water, rich soil and good deal oil
timber. There are already on the
ground three families of set.
tiers and several single men,
and more are now on the
way. They have horses and stock,
farming implements, ETC., and have
been contracting at San Luis Rey
for q quantity of grain for seed.
This Santa Margarita Colony is
now fairly started, and will un-
doubtedly be great success. The
plan contemplates the subdivision
OF the ranch as fast as settled; and
when demanded, a town site will
DO surveyed off, and u wharf built.
Mr.. Fox goes back at the end of
this week to continue the survey.

from partial paralysis, they left for

the following:
"The village Of Santa Monica
cannot fail to attract the tourist,
for it is lovely seaside resort, and
offers attractions which cannot be
surpassed. The thermometer ranges
between sixty and eighty, and even
in Winter surf bathing Is indulged
in. The bathing facilities cannot
be better. Besides surf bathing,
the bath.houses furnish warm
and cold fresh water, warm and
cold salt water, shower, plunge
and steam baths-a variety
by which all can be suit

tains lie to the north and east of
the valley and thus afford protec-
ton from the cold winds. Frosts
are a thing almost unknown in
this locality. There is growing In
the yard OF the Santa Monica Ho.
tel a tomato vine two years old, u
great spreading vine trailing
over a fence five or six feet high.
We all know how sensitive the
tomato is to the least touch of
frost. Geraniums everywhere, with
their great clusters of scarlet and
pink blossoms. In some parts of
town they are trained into hedges
and are very beautiful. These flow
ers are so common that they cam
not be considered choice here. The
heliotrope grows In great luxuri-
ance, and is laden with its delicate,
sweet-scented purple blossoms.
From our door we look out upon
the ocean, which is only a few rods
away. 1t is charming to ask "what
are the wild waves saying" and
watch them dash against the shore.
The wharf affords fine facilities for
flshing, at least, and almost any
time during the day one sees doz.
ems of men and boys engaged in
the pastime of watching their
lines. There is great variety of
fish found here, from the largest to
the smallest. v
Hunters can enjoy themselves in
their favorite pursuit here, at the
very doors, shooting snipss, ducks
and wild geese, also other game
birds that do not know the name
of. A little way from town other
and larger game abounds. 1t seems
to be favOrite pursuit with the
young men, and followed with con.
siderable interest. Our hotel is a
pleasant, rambling sort of build

times. The rooms are large and
