A Plentiful Harvest and u. Scarcitr
OF Small Bills.

Washington, Aug. 1l.-Letters of inquiry
concerning the issue of more small notes are
beginning to be received at the treasury.
Every year about this time complaints are
received from the west as 10 the scarcity of
one and twodollar bills, and the treasureris
urged to increase the number in circulation.
He has been asked this year whether no will
forward small bills upon receipt of checks
from New York, and hisanswer will be in the
negative, as there is no way by which new
notes can be issued except i'd exchange for old
ones paid in for redemption. The demand
for small notes comes almost entirely from
the west, where they are wanted for use in
harvesting and moving the crops. The
treasurer is anxious to comply with all legiti-
mate demands and to extend, as far as he
can under the law, relief to those making ap-
plcation for small notes.

No xore CiviI service Reform.

Washington, Aug. ll--Offlcers and en-

further fear that their places will be endan-
gered if they mix up in politics. Instead Of
issuing general ordering superseding civil
service order No. l, Mr.. Hayes has promul.
gated the news in more delicate manner.
To-day deputy collector Splitter, Of Rich
mond was reinstated. He was suspended
some time ago by collector Mills for violating
civil service orders. His management of pri-
mary and political meetings was superior to
the ability with which he discharged his Off
cisl duties. Last evening Mr.. Splitter was
notified by the treasury department. to resume

A PERYLOUS PREDICAMENr.

One Of those thrilling episodes that
occasionally punctuate the life of miner
and illustrate its perils occurred recently
in the Wallace and Ferguson mine, at
Sheep ranch. The shaft has two COM
partments, and is 400 feet deep. Both
compartments are used for hosting pur-
poses, signal bells being utilized to en-
able the engineer to distinguish between
the divisions Of the shaft. One day last
week three men went down in the buck
ct. their destination being the 2OO-foot
level. One of the trio, Thomas Tag
gart, got into the bucket, while the other
two stood on its top and held on by the
cable-the "usual way" Arriving at
the 2CO-fOOt station the two men stepped
off into the level, and Taggart had got
partially out of the bucket when the bell
of the other compartment gave the sig
nal to hoist. The engineer mistook the
signal and hoisted in the compartment
i'll which the men had just gone down.
Taggart was in the act of getting out of
the bucket-had one leg out and one in,
in fact-when the latter started up the
shaft. The bucket, with Taggart hang
ing to it, had proceeded but a few feet
when it tipped over, precipitating the
unfortunate man headlong down the
shaft. At the moment of falling-in
utter desperation, as drowning man
grasps at straw-Taggart caught at the
rocky wall of the shaft with his hands.
BY miracle Of good fortune one Of his
wrists lodged in a wedge-shaped inter
stice in the side of the shaft, and Tag
CART hung by one arm, suspended in
mid-air, with 200 feet of space beneath
him. No one can have the faintest con-
ception of the unutterable horror of such
a position. Enveloped in impenetrable
darkness, suspended by one arm over an
abyss that invited him to certain death
if his frail support should give way, and
alive to the knowledge that the descend
ing bucket might precipitate such a ca
tastrophe, Taggart's situation was SO
inexpressibly horrible that its contem-
plation makes one shudder. Luckily,
however, his comrades comprehendcd
the situation of affairs and by acting
promptly prevented tragic ending of
the accident. Taggart was released
from his perilous position, escaping any
more serious injury than a severe strain
of his physical system and mental facul-
ties.-Cdiaueras (CdL) Chronicle.

He sprang from the tub and was horri-
fed to hear that lady, wife of dis

n COMPARISON.

England is said to be beef-eating
nation; perhaps mutton-eating would
he the more accurate term. The French,
while they eat but half as much meat,
use larger proportion of beef, IS per
cent, and only 10 per cent. of mutton.
They are, hke the Americans, pork-eat-
ers using 80 per cent. of swine's flesh.
In the United States pork is the princi-
pal meat, beef next in order, while NUT
ton is scarcely used in as large a pro-
portion as in France. As to quantity,
the American uses fully as much as an
Englishman and Frenchman together,
the latter requiring average per capita
-aboat fifty pounds per annum, or half
MS much as the average Englishman.

SEASONING FOOD.

Many people have the idea that a
tinelv-flavored dish must cost a great
deal: that is mistake; if you have I'M
tainted meat or sound vegetables, or
even Indian meal, to begin with, you
can make it delicious with proper sea
soning. One reason that French cook
ing is much nicer than any other Is that
it is seasoned with a great variety OF
herbs and spices; these cost very little;
if you would buy few cents worth at a
time, You would soon have good as
sortment. The hest kinds are sage,
thyme, sweet marjoram, tarragon. mint.
sweet basil. parsley. bay leaves, cloves.
mace. celery seed, and onions.
