How the Banks Compel the Government to
Pay for Transporting Silver.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The Treasury regu-
lations governing the distribution of the
standard silver dollars and the law authoriz-
ing the Issue of silver certificates are being
used by New York and Boston banks to OBJ
tain transfer of large amounts of money from
one city to another without expense to
themselves, but with considerable cost to the
government for transportation charges The
manner of doing this is to deposit currency
in the sub-treasury in one city and obtain
an order for standard silver dollars to
be sent to correspondent in another city
from the mint, and the correspondent, i'm
lnediately upon receipt of the coin, presents
1t to the sub-treasury in his city and asks for
silver certificates. Several million dollars
have been transferred in this way recently,
costing the government several thousand
dollars, without lessening the number of sill
yer dollars in the treasury but with the eff
feet of completely Quitting the vaults of the
New York sub-treasury with them.

Good Cup OF Tea.

The medical journals are writing in strong

deem hazardous at his age The Lancet coup
les the unnecessary risks of telling trees in
winter days, and undertaking political work
which might be left to others, adding that
such indications are the more unreasonable
in view of the prodigious labor thrown on
him by exceptional political circumstances.
1t would be wrong, continues this high au-
thority, to exaggerate the importance of his
present illness, and more so to ignore the les
son taught by it. Sleeplessness means slight
nervous exhaustion, and is the more sgnifi-
cant in his case because he is ordinarily a
good sleeper. And IL calls upon Dr. Andrew
Clarke to use his authority despotically.

what doctors call good patient, but only
from the moment he fairly surrenders
himself into his physicians hands Al the
time of his accident two winters ago when a
slip on the icy pavement by his door caused
an ugly scalp wound, DIR. Clark prescribed
absolute rest. His prescription was followed
to the letter. and for the first time during
many years Mr.. Gladstone knew what it was

to do something else. ] should be curious
to know whether DR.. Clarke still allows his
patient tea at bedtime. OF tea DR.. Clarke is
a declared enemy, and Mr. Gladstone regu-
lar drinker. AT whatever hour he retires,
cup of tea, and strong tea, is brought him,
and this he takes as q nightcap. Not many
men would sleep the sounder for dose of
that sort. But all the public hears is that
DR.. Clarke insists once more on absolute
rest and some change of climate. When 1t
