TrOtting Time.

great feat of making mile in two min
utes and eight and one-half seconds.
thus beating the famous record of Maud
5. and Jay-Eye-Sce of 2:1Ot. 1t seems
but yesterday when 2:40 was regarded
as the highest speed of the American
trotter. To-day there reprobably over
thousand horses in the United States
which can make a mile in 2:3O, and
some hundreds that can make it in 2:2O.
The coming year will probably see the
record reduced to two Minutes and
horse-breeders say the time may come
when a carefully-bred animal NAV
make a mile in $50. This is almost as
fast as the running horse of the very
swiftcst strains of blood. Trotting, Il
will be recalled, is not the natural gait
of horse. Left TO himself and un-
trained, a horse will walk or run, but
never trot.-DemOrest Montlsly.

The fact that apprentices are becom-

ascribe this state of Affairs TO the policy,

a book-keeper, or a bank clerk, or a

Women Are Honest.

Although hundreds of women hold
positions OF financial trust in the coun-
try, we have yet To hear of one of them
being guilty of ENLIGHTENMENT or detail
cation. The evidence clearly sustains
the positions of those who believe that
women are qualified, morally, physically,
and intellectually. for the handling of
money in stores or in banks. General
Spinner, who first introduced women
into the United States Treasury, left on
record striking testimonial to the
efficiency and integrity of the sex, and
no one ever had q better opportunity to
study the question than he. who at one
time had one thousand women under his
direction, engaged chiefly in handling
money. He testified that they count
more accurately and rapidly than men;
that their ability to detect counterfeits
proved TO be superior in almost every
test; tat they were. without an excep-
ton, honest, and were Invariably more
careful and painstaking 10 their work.
Complaints of inaccuracy and careless
ness ON the part of men were made fire.
quently during General Spinner's al
ministratiOn of the United States
Treasury. but such complaints against
lady clerks were few. The shrewdest
and quickest detecters of counterfeit
currency were women. and in case Of a
dispute Is TO the genuineness of money
General Spinner Invariably took the
judgment of Miss Crandin. who was
for long time employed in his Bureau.
In speaking of her ability in this partic.
ular one day. General Spinner said: IF
was believer in clairvoyance should
say that she possessed that power; but
l am not; so call IL INSTINCT
Although there are several thousand
women employed by the 6overnmentas
clerks, accountants, postmistresses.. and
in other capacities, not one has ever
proved unfaithful To her trust. MANY
have been discharged for incapacity and
for other reasons. but never one for
dishonesty. These facts are worth the
consideration of merchants and bank
ers. particularly now when there seems
TO be an epidemic Of embezzlement.-
