Unique Dinner Cards.

At a recent dinner-party in New
York, some odd dinner.cards were used.
They were exact limitations of square
sodarcrackers, made Of pale silk, filed
with down and sachet powder. The
edges were slightly colored, as a cracker
is Drowned in the baking, and the print
of the cutting-stamp was copied by the
silk being stitched together in places.
In the center, where the name of the
manufacturer usually is, was the name
of the guest. AS they lay upon the
pure white linen by the plates they
looked like such fresh, good soda
crackers that it was a disappointment
70 find that they would not break and
crumble into brittle mouthfuls.

is good night on going to bed. and
good morning on getting up; it Is to
wonder what the day will bring forth;
it Is rain on the window when one sits

and see the flowers and hear the birds
sing; it is to hear news from east, west,
north and south; il Is to read old books
and new books; 1t s to see pictures and
hear music; it is to have Sundays; it is
to hslve breakfast and dinner and tes;

FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Mr. Gilhl- |
Ian, treasurer of the United States, says
that there is much demand for frac-
quantities. from all parts of the coun-
indicate any disposition to stop the cir
culation of fractional silver 10, 25 and
so cent pieces, but the tenor of the re-
quisition shows that there are many
purposes for which the paper currency
becomes a business necessity, besides
being verv convenient where silver can
not be practically of service. This ap-
plies especially to remittances by letter
in sums less than dollar, which Mr.
Gilfillan says is demand far greater
than our citizens are aware of and then
there arc numerous persons, including
travellers, who, as q matter of choice,
prefer the paper fractional currency to
the silver change because the former
does not incumber the pocketbook nor
unpleasantly add weight to the pocket.
There are classes of business which have
been almost wholly destroyed by reason
of the failure of the government to con-
tinue the issue of fractional currency.
This applies still more particularly to
certain kinds of goods manufactured in
New England states, which were here
tofore sent all over the country by mail
on receipt of respectively %, 50 or 70
cents In paper currency. The fractional
currency is adapted to this trade, while,
on account ofits weight the postage on
silver remittance is so high that it
practically forbids the trade. Newspa-
! per publishers also desire the paper
currency for remittance to and from
them. To the inquiry, "Why, then,
don't you print and issue fractional cur
rency to meet this demand ?'' Treasu-
rer Gilfllan replied: Because Congress
has ceased to make appropriations of
money for that purpose. The law does
not forbid printing and issuing the
fractional currency The old plates
have been destroyed, but for very
small sum we could soon have new and
more acceptable plates engraved. All
we lack is an appropriation from Con-
gress. 1t might be provided IN the
statute that this fractional currency be
redeemable in fractional silver, so that
the citizen could have his choice be-
tween paperand silvers change. The
supply of silver and paper fractional
currency would thus be regulated by
the demand or necessities and eonyen-
ience of the people"
