The assertion that the seven thirty
Treasury notes were largely used as
money has been made so many
times that possibly there are some
persons who believe it. The only
foundation for it is the remark of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, page o of
the report of 1865 that "many of the
small denominations were in circula.
ton as money" This does not by any
means authorize the counting OF the
entire issue of seven thirty notes as q
part Of the paper currency. There
were issued in all the three series Of
such notes, Ss29, 1892, 500. Consider
ably less than one quarter of this sum
was in denominations of less than
$500. The statement of the issue by
denominations is worth repeating at
this time to show the facts:

How to Garry Milk to Market.

The New York Ecening Post which
has given good share of attention to
the milk question during the past sea-
son says: A company in this city
engaged in the milk business thinks it
has solved the problem OF how to
serve the public with milk unchanged
in the condition in which it comes
from the COW. They say that even
pure milk, when brought to the city
in cans becomes so agitated that the
condition of the milk is changed, and
besides much dirt and dust finds its
way into the cans To prevent this
they pnt their milk up at the dairy 10
glass jars having glass cover which
fits upon rubber gasket, and presses
down upon the milk so az to exclude
all the air That the air is excluded
is shown by the fact that after the
screw is removed the jar NAV be
raised by lifting upon the cover. They
claim that the milk thus placed under
pressure cannot be agitated. The
milk is delivered in these Jars and
thus full measure is assured. The
milk thus served is sold at the rate OF
ten cents a quart. The difficulties thai
naturally present themselves are the
liability of the glass jars to get bro
ken by accident of handling, careless
ness Of servants or through the freez-
ing OF the milk. 1t is possible. how
ever, that the company may find some
means of reducing these risks more
than one would suppose.

A Wonderful Curiosity.

One of Psoria's prominent lawyers
went home the other day to dinner
and fout d that his little boy had
bis head clipped in accordance with
the prevailing style. Affecting not
to notice it, he began to speak of
wonderful curiosity on exhibition in
Washington City, in the shape of
living creature, with q form some-
thing like that of human being.
Its head was as round as pumpkin,
its ear stuck out like clam shells on
cocoanut, its nose projected like q
figure four from what seemed to be
its face it walked upright, and it's
head was covered with q growth of
bristles about one-sixteenth of an
inch in length, and for want of q
better name, the creature had been
called the "What is it?n And plac-
ing his hand on the boys head, the
father said, .Why, here it is now.
Here's the very thing I've been talk
ing about"
The boy replied, as he buttered q
piece of biscuit. They've got .

the lawyer. a

A WOMAN'S DREAM.

A winters night. The fierce winds blow
And shake the window pane;
The ttful shadows come and 60,
With truant drops Of rain
A dreamer sits beside the CRATE,
On which the bright Goals glow,
Aud muses., till the hour is late,
OF Childhood, long ago.
In dreams she roams o er hilisides green,
Beyond the oceans deep;
And many years that come between
Seem stones in life's rough steep.
Again she holds each little flower
Plncked BIZ the purling stream;
Each valley green and mountain tower
Is painted in her dream
Like far of strains, a mothers voice
Falls sweetly on the ear;
Again those tones bid her rejoice
And stay the falling tear
The sire, whose locks times shifting sea
Had touched with silver foam,
Once more caressed her on his knee
Within the walls OF home.
In long. long golden summer hours
Her brother by her side,
She sat again among the flowers,
And watched the distant tide.
Again she heard his youthful voice
Ring clear as vesper chime;
The while he reads her poems choice
From books of ancient time.
All, yes; those tender mem'ries old,
Now thrill the woman's heart,
Tho years have hung their misty fold
Ger ayaq where taar dropS ctort
That brother went to face the foe
Upon the battle field,
All, savage sword that dealt the blow,
When none was near to shield!
But darkest shadows flee ray
And leave the shining sun,
Her trembling lips have learned to say,
"Thy will, not mine. be DONE"
The scftly-falling flakes of snow
Against the window pane
Shine in the frelight's rudy glow,
Like crystal drops Of rain,
She turns and lists as if to hear
One voice amid a throng,
That thrills her soul with notes as clear
As echoes of song.
A tender gancc--a loving smile,
Fits DER her dreamy face,
That hide the lines of care awhile,
And give her charm and grace.
Thus, while the dreamer muses. Ger
The frelight's crimson glow;
Her dearest treasure comes once more
Back from the long ago
The JOY which blest the holy hour,
When she became his wife
Rests like the perfume of a flower
On years of after life.

DANIEL WEBsTHR'S WIDOW:
The Queenly Old Lady of so whom Re.
porter discovered.
From the New York Star.


A dainty blue cap with fiattering
ribbons, wcrn ty white haired wo-
maD, caught tbe eye of q reporter
yesterday as fe was passing the
broad portioo OF the Leroy mansion
in New Rochelle, on the Sound.
Something n the face beneath the
cap arrested attention. Bright ha.
eel eyes contrasted strangely with
the snowy ringlets of hair and the
pale, almost expressionless cast of
features. Evidences were not want
ing of advanced age, yet o graceful
form, slightly above the medium
height, made the possessor look state
ly in her old age.
'Who is that queenly old lady p
was asked OF gardner working near

Daniel Webster

alone, at the age OF 78, within twen>
ty miles Of the great stirring me-
tropolis link between the busy
present and the dead historic pact.
Can you oblige me with an intro
duction, sir p asked the reporter of
Mr.. VIM. Leroy, who at that mo.
ment appeared on the ground.
with great pleasure. Mrs. Web.
sser is my only sister, returned the
proprietor. But he added, Il am
afraid she cannot converse much.
Her mental faculties are 80 impaired
that she is hardly cognizant of her
surroundings, while the past is a to-
fai blank
The reporter was presented to tho
lady, who received him with courtly
grace. Chairs were provided on ihs
elegant little piazza, snd pleasant
half hour was spent 10 conversation.
Il am so glad you have come was
Mrs. Webstar's first remark. Il know
you admire flowers. Are they not
pretty Mrs. Weolbert has such q
delightful! little place, too. The pros
poet from my window would be bet
ter than this il there were not so
many flowers.
10 you read much now, Mrs.
Webste. 2 qneried the reporter.
There was no answer to this ques-
ZION, but simply puzzled look. She
turned appealiDgly to her relative.
The question was reiterated by
Mr.. Leroy, who at the same time
picked up newspaper from the
floor. Then look of intelligence
lighted up the troubled face as she
exclaimed, 'Oh,yes | read it through
