NO Room For The silver.

WASHINGTON, May GA letter from
Secretary Sherman was laid before the
House OF Representatives to-day, call.
ing attention TO an inclosed communi-
cation from the Assistant Treasurer in
New York City, in which the latter
says: "After personal inspection of
our silver vault, am satisfied that the
additional amount we can safely re-
ceive will not exceed SIC, 900, 900, max
ing, with what we now have on hand,
say, $2S, ,O00, COO, though this Is much
less than the nominal capacity of the
vaalt. There are two objections to
filling mp all the available space. First,

prevented by the most careful stowing)

The Monroe Doctrine Explained.

The Monroe DOctriue Explained.
Bidwell L. Stevens writes from North
Vernon, Ind, "What is the Monroe
doctrinel" The Monroe doctrine, Bid
well simply and explicitly declares that
foreign nations shall not CONS over here
and slide down our cellar door; that
England and France shall not hang on
our front gate to do their counting; that
they can't bring oyer their own syrup
pots and elder sprouts and make uugar
in our maple groves; that Germany and
Austria can't spot no bee treo in our
woods; that Italy can't cut her frewood
out of our hedge rows; that Russia can't
spank hor neighbsr's children with
our butter paddle. The Monroe doc
trine simply means that We are the
bull of the woods between the two
oceans, and that the man who joins
farms with US on either side had better
not move the boundary fence Intil he
talks TO us about it, and that he can't
cublet patch of bis farm on anybody
are satisfied that the new tenant
will make good neighbor for us.
That's about ell there is of it.-Bur-

MAYPoLE SONG.
BY Il PURCELL.

When ashen buds are big to burst,
And sunshine hotter every day,
And nurses sour and granuams cuist
Begin To thaw as well they may;
Then lads and lasses surely know
IT'S time they all o Maying 20.
When In the shade the gentIe doves
Are frightened by tho bold cuckoo;
When bird and beast each minds Its loves,
Nor minds ut all what others do;
Then lads and lasres fall to sport.
And round the Maypole kiss and court.
When sea-blue eggs arc chipping fast,
And nestlings quarrel In their bed,
And Winters slough is thoroughly cast,
While Autumn still is far ahead;
Then lads and lasses plainly see
That they can never younger be.

Chain Shirts.
Now York Tines. /

The chain-mail vest which is said to have
saved General Melikoff from Vladetsd's bull
let has for many generations past been a
common article of wear with the leading per-
sonages Of Europe, the most notable exam
Piles being Oliver Cromwell, Gustavus, of
Sweden, the present car and Louis XVI.
Inthe middle ages the mail-coats were known
as "Milan shirts" and greatly esteemed for
the fineness of their workmanship. A fam
Gus italian guerrilla, who went into the bat
tie of Ravenna thus equipped, was found
dead with the LINKS of his mail still un broken,
though the bones beneath it were completely
shattered by the force of the death blow. A
"bullet-proof' vest of this kind was offered
by Spectator to the Duke of Wellington,
who got rid of him in a very characteristic
fashion. Bidding the man put it on, he
called to the sentry outside to load with ball
cartridge and comeupat once; but the visitors
confidence in his invention did not appar-
emily extend to the testing of 1t in his own
person, for he took 10 his heel at once.

What Girls Think,

An English writer has made study of the
mental operations of the minds Of unmarried
women, and has reached these conclusions: Sat
1.-THE girl thinks often oflove; delights in love
songs; fills Moore's poems with pencil-marks;
thinks Byron's face beautiful; eats little in
company At 1s, still thinks great deal of
love; would care nothing for poverty, pro-
viding she had a sweetheart who adored her;
indeed, would rather be poor than rich, were
she united to the ideal whom she had not
yet met. Still reads great deal of poetry
and novels which deal largely with love and
the death of the heroines; passionately fond
of children. At 19, a little more critical; finds
some of the poetry that pleased her last year
little weak; looks about for steadier auth.
ors than her old favorites; dances every dance
in ball, and is not quite so particular as to
the men who are introduced to her. At 20,
is not sure whether, after all, it would not be
best to be an old mans darling. Never
theless, she firts more uniformly; all her shy
ness is gone; and she enjoys her food whether
people are looking at her or not. At q, her
belief in old men is strong; she has lost
her prejudices in favor of poverty and cot
tages yet she would not insist upon money
were her ideal to present himself. AT %,
thinks her youngest sister rather forward in
her manners, particularly with young men;
sometimes suggests to mamma that the invi-
tations which include the youngest sister are
merely acts of politeness which people don't
want to be literally interpreted. At %, is
annoyed if any one says in her presence that
the pslor of half the girls one meets comes
from tight-lacing. At "a, laces deliberately
for waist. and does not much mind If 1t is
known; finds the company of old men always
more agreeable than that of young men, and
is fattered if boys pay her attention. Ats
is found behind bazaar stalls; initiates the
style of the fashionable beauty; frequently
alters the character of her couture and uses
great many different kinds of stuff for her
hair. At 26, declares that she hates the idea
of marriage, worders how girls can voluntar-
lily enter state of bondage; marks all pass
ages in novels in which men are called ty-
rants, and ceases to notice other peoples
babes. At27, falls in love; about four months
of quiet anguish and despair; sits late into
the night alone in her bedroom; Is Tilted;
writes 20 letters, in all conceivable styles
from the passionately scornful to the mild
sacrifcial, forgiving, heart breaking style
none of which are posted; destroys the ball
room programme on which he has written
his name"

tricks of agility ever invented that was not
performed by these flaming imps on their
redhot needles.
Mrs. Pitkins was only conscious of the
thought: "I'm nearly dead-5ut / didn't
know consumptives died this way-the chll-
dren must do the best they can " when she
felt herself raised by strong arm under her
shoulders. She opened her eyes to see bend
ing over her the face of the old physician
she knew and trusted. Mr.. Pitkins was sup
porting her and remarked as the doctor pre-
sented spoonful of something: "Take this,
Polly, we'll have no more of these home
made slops, and no more Of this blab about
consumption and step-mothers"
Then the bed covering was folded softly
about her, the fiery imps grew DINNER and
paler, turning rapidly to indistinct, ash-col-
ored forms, needles and all, and dropping
like healing powder into the wounds they
had made
The next day Mrs. Pitlins kept her room.
and the news went though the neighborhood
like wild-fre, that she was down at last, IN
able to be about, her cough wss so much
worse. OF course everybody came TO see
her. Visitors were admitted, their questions
answered, and they were allowed to
make their way to the sick room without re-
strictions. But just outside the door of the
sufferer large plaoard was tackled on the
wall and each visitor read in staring black
letters:
"My wife is sick. She has cough, and it's
bad cough; but she has no symptom Of
consumption, neither are her lungs weak,
nor permanently impaired. l don't want
any man or woman, Christian or Pagan, to
say, in her presence, that she is in danger
Gus state, nor to hint even by look or ges
ture that they think SO. My wife has nerves
and they shall be respected so long as she re-
mains in the care Of JOHN PITKINs."
Some smiled and went in; some shifted
and went out; but the order was obeyed and
Mrs. Pitkins grew better rapidly.

Beauty That Endures.

To be beautiful in person, then, we must
not only conform to all the laws of physical
health, and by gymnastic arts and artificial
appliances develop the elements of our phyic-
al being in symmetry and completeness, but
we must also train the mind and develop the
affections to the highest possible degree. To
be beautiful we must feed the spark of intel
lectual fire by reading and meditation, until
it burns IN a steady fame, irradisting the
face by IFS brilliancy suffusing the countenance
with light. To be beautiful we must put a
great organizing and ennobling purpose
intothe viii and concentrate our thought and
affection upon it until enthusiasm wells up
in the heart, suffuses the countenance and
rebuilds the body on its own divine plan.
To be beautiful we must cherish every kind
impulse and generous disposition, making
love the ruling affection of the heart and the
ordering principle and inspiring motive of
life. The more kindness the more beauty;
the more love, the more loveliness. And this
is the beauty that lasts Mere physical good
looks fade with years, bleach out with sick
ness, yield to the slow decay and wasting
breath of mortality. But the beauty that
has its seat and sourse in kind dispositions,
noble purposes, and great thoughts, outlasts
youth and maturity, increases with age, and
like the luscious peach, covered with the del
icate blush of purple and gold which comes
with autumn ripeness, is never so beautiful
as when waiting to be plucked by the gath
erer's hand.

As 1t Used to Be.

One hundred years ago not pound of coal
or cubic foot of Illuminating gas had been
burned in the country. No iron stoves were
used, and no continuance for economizing
heat were employed until DIR. Franklin had
invented the Iron-framed fireplace, which
still bears his name All the cooking and
warming in town, as well as in the country,
were done by the aid of fire kindled on the
brick hearth or in brick oveus. Pine knots
or tallow candles furnished the light for the
long winter nights, and sanded floors sup
piled the place of rugs and carpets. The
water used for household purposes was drawn
from deep wells by the creeking sweep. No
form of pump was used in this country, so
far as we can learn, until after the com.
mencement of the present century. There
were no friction matches in those early days
by the aid of which fire could be easily
kindled, and if the fire went out upon the
hearth over night, and the finder was damp,
so that the spark could not catch, the alter
native remained of wading through the snow
a mile or two to borrow brand Of neigh
Dor. Only one room in any house was warm,
unless some member of the family was i'll;
in all the rest the temperature was at zero
during many nights in the winter. The men
and women of a hundred years ago undressed
and went to their beds in a temperature
colder than that of our barns and woodsheds
and they never complained.

There is in this city one home that must GER

children in that house (more's the PITY, and

"By jingol here's an episode" Thus the
oracle of our boarding house.
The romantic young gentleamn of the
party, who is understood to have been SEN
gagged" seven times In the last seven months
tempted the little visitor to his chair-side
with shining nickel, and entered into con-
versation with her.
"What is your name, baby?"
Darling" was the artless reply; in a
tone of great sincerity.
Darling what?'
"Little darling" with slight emphasis and
a nod that tossed the yellow curls over the
big mild eyes in which was not trace of in
security.
''What is your papa's namep
Just dear papa"
"And your mama's2

'0h you little rogue here you areI' (Ex-
cuse me ladies and gentlemen, I've been in
such futter about this runaway that
didn't stop to ring but came around to the
side door, as heard my baby had been seen
on your steps.)
The speaker was young woman of whom
the child was duplicate miniature. Her
flushed and happy face was like the first
spring flowers, and single look at her was
enough to convice the locker that her baby
was the greatest care she had perhaps ever
known-and what loving, happy kind of q
care it was everybody could see. Again
apoligizing for her unceremonious entrance,
and blushing with embarrassment at the
manifest interest which all present had in
her and her little tnuant she vanished. The
romantic young man is understood to have
again committed himself 1t is probably
true, for such apair as that mother and her
little prattler are powerful protest against
bachelors and their dismal condition.
