Had Heard Money Was Cheap.
Detroit Free Press.


She pushed her way through the little
crowd of ex-capitalists that was congre-
gated about the ticker and set her shop
ping-bag down upon the counter with a
slam.
"I see by the papers that money is
cheap" she began.
"Never so cheap as at present." re-
piled the broker.
elbow are you selling tens?" she
continued.
"Tens, madame?" said the broker in
surprise.
eyes, ten-dollar bills. Where do you
keep them? This doesn't look at all
like bankrupt sale. expected to find
them in little baskets ticketed: ANY
thing in this basket S. and so on.
Have you any remnants-quarters,
halves and all that-at great sacrifice?
What is the cause of this fearful reduc-
ton, anyhow? Must you close out your
entire stock of money within the next
thirty days, regardless of cost, to make
room for fresh goods? Or is your stock
damaged by fire?'
''We have some stocks that are dam
aged by water that we can let you have
at very low figure" he said.
eyes. By the way, you didn't tell
me what you get for the tell dollar bills. !"
"Oh, wine and cigars and theatre
tickets" said the broker, absentmind-
edly.
81 mean how much do you sell them
for?"
"Ten dollars. -
"Do you call that cheap7"
eyes, do" growled the fnancier.
"I've seen the time when I had to pay
fifteen dollars for the use of ten on my
personal note at thirty days, and it was
dirt cheap, too, considering the securi-
ty. What did you expect to pay?"
"Oh, not more than five. I'm look
ing for bargains. Good morning."

worth its face value to any gold beater
If as much as single letter is put upor
a silver dollar, it is bullion, worth from
SO to Sc cents. The public cannot bt
too careful in watching for these swim
dies in counterfeit money. A man in
Maine made some counterfeit gold hall
dollars, which he said were made fol
the sole purpose of ornaments as ban
giles. As there is a law against imita-
ting United States money, the whole LOT
was confscated. They first stamped
California gold coins, and were shipped
from New England to San Francisco,
and from there shipped East and sold
to the trade. That business has now
been entirely stopped.
The "boodle game" is one that the
public ought to be acquainted with, as
it has been practiced quite successfully
of late in number of instances. This
is the swindle where a genuine 81 bank
note, accompanied by circular offer
ing to give number of similar bills for
so much money, is sent out.
THE GAME TAKES VERY WELL.
Orders are sent with good money to pay
for it, but the orders are never fulfilled.
The last case that came to light, in
which the prisoner is now held to await
further action of the Court, is that of
George o. Mastern who was arrested in
the postoffice just as he was collecting
his mail. The latest swindle discover
ed relating to spurious money is the
split bank note fraud. A $40 bank
note is taken, and by some ingenious
method the note is split in two and the
raw side "doctored up" and each half
is passed off as a genuine $40 note.
The work is done so artistically in most
cases that it is difficult at first to detect
the fraud.
1t is not generally known that the
professional counterfeiter rarely, if ever,
passes his own goods. He sells the coin
to the dealer, and he in turn disposes
of it to the "shover," who passes it up
on the public.

What Have / Done for Thee.

What have done for Thee, my God
What have done for Thee
In the days gone down in their solemn march
To the great eternity?
Through the silent lapse of the silent years,
Oh What have done for Thee2
Have striven in meekness to bear the cross,
Have I suffered and toiled and prayed?
Have stood in the pathway of truth and right
All fearless and undismayed?
Have needed Thy voice in life's darkest hours
at is I, be not afraid?"
Have spread the dear mantle of charity
0'er the frail and weak, my God?
Have striven to strengthen the tired and
faint,
And helped them to bear their load
Have the sick and poor ever blest my name,
For kindness my hands bestowed?
As backward look, my heart beats low,
For the years that are to be,
And solemn and earnest as life and death
This truth comes home to me-
That eternity's morning must surely tell,
What have done for Thee.

About the Summer Girl.

The season of the summer girl is
here. Radiant in white dress, bright
and low-cut slippers, surmounted by
coquettishly dark-colored hose, she fits
from place to place in the conscious
power of her temporary ascendancy.
She is found at the seaside hotels and
the mountain resorts, in country and
town, or on board the ocean vessel.
Whatever others may be, she at least is
always the same. The perforated sleeve
and dress yoke make her cool and in.
different to the torrid rays of the sun,
and her own self-Complacency averts all
unpleasant worry. 1t is her aim to be
comfortable-like Flanagan, that is
what she is there for-and she generally
manages to have her own way.
Nobody can analyze the methods of
the summer girl. Like her they are
light and airy. How she attains her
universal admiration or how she holds
it when once it has been attained even
she is unable to tell. 1t is not because
she is learned nor over-witty nor over
wise. Nor that she is always either
imaginative or pretty. There are home
ly members of the class just as there are
medium appearing and pretty ones, and
taken altogether they are very much the
same. They do not do anything and
they do it well. 1t is pleasure to
watch them do it.
The saddest part about the summer
girl is that her life is brief. Coming
Just at the season when the roses die to
avoid the heat of the dog days, the end
of August sees her glory well nigh gone.
And when she. has gone, whittier has
she f1ed2 The same waves wash the
seas sandy beach, but her voice an
swers not to their call. The leaves
whisper on the mountain tops, but catch
no echo of her song. Like strain Of
vanishingly melody, she has served her
passing purpose and gone to herald the
coming of the quickly following leaves.
But she is pleasant while she is here and
only fools try to solve the problem of
-morrrw's pleasure.

be made known.
For an instant her heart failed her
but then she nerved herself to brave
resolve.

which faltered despite herself.
"Why1" persisted her merciless tor.
mentor, with an air of innocent sur
prise.
''Because"-it was hard to say, after
all-"because have not my wig on. -
"Flora!" gasped Mrs. Gaylord.
81 shall have to make clean breast
of it," she said, with a little laugh.
Gone of the ladies' pet dogs-was it
not yours, Mrs. Langley7-got hold Of
my wig this evening and has complete

The major turned his eyes upon her
with sudden and glad surprise.

",How rejoiced I am to find lady
l'who. happens to be in the same predic-
ament as myself! Why, 1 would have
married long ago but for the haunting
fear of shocking my bride with the
knowledge of bald head"
Then there was a tableau! Mrs. Bel
ton blushed and smiled-a glad smile
the major looked delighted, and Mrs.
Langley's face was white as she turned
away.
81 lost my hair in a severe illness,
and it has never grown again." Mrs.
Belton explained. 81 had it made up
into wig. So you see it is my own
hair, after all"
When the company broke up at the
''Lake Hotel" it was perfectly we'll
known to everybody that the major and
Mrs. Belton were engaged.
And it was all Puck's doing.

Gray Hair.
Medicnl and SnrnicnL Renorter.


Many persons begin to show gray
hair while they are yet in their twenties,
and some while they are yet in their
teens. This does not by any means
argue premature decay of the consti-
tuition. 1t is purely local phenome-
non, and may co-exist with unusual
bodily vigor. The celebrated author
and traveller, George Borrow turned
quite gray before he was thirty, but was
an extraordinary swimmer and athlete
at sixty-fve.
Many feeble persons, and others who
have suffered extremely both mentally
and physically, do not blanch a hair
until past middle life; while others
without assignable cause, lose their
capillary coloring matter rapidly when
about forty years of age.
Race has marked influence. The
traveller, DIR. Orbigny, says that in the
many years he spent in South America
he never saw bald Indian and scarce
ly a gray-haired one. The negroes turn
more slowly than the white. Yet we
know negress of pure blood, about
thirty-ive years old, who is quite gray.
In this country sex appear to make lit
tie difference. Men and women grow
gray about the same period of life. In
men the hair and beard rarely change
equally. The one is usually darker than
the other for several years, but there
seems no general rule which whitens
first. The spot where grayness begins
differs with the individual. The phi
losopher Schopenhauer began to turn
gray on the temples, and complacently
framed theory that this is an indica-
ton of vigorous mental activity.
The correlation of gray hair, as we'll
as its causes, deserve more attention
and study than they have received.
Such a change is undoubtedly indicative
of some deep seated physiological pro-
cess, but what this is we can only as
certain by a much wider series of obser-
vations than have yet been submitted to
scientific analysis.

A Love Affair AdriotIy Managed.

Clara Belle tells the Cincinnati En-
guirer how New York swell extricated
himself from an embarrassing love af-
fair: A mashingly handsome friend of
mine was so potent in his love making
recently that he got three girls simulta-
neously into a sentimental condition
which lacked only the formal questions
and answers to complete betrothals.
Then he realized for the first time that
he had an over-abundance of wife ma
terial at his command. Mighty nice
girls they were, all three, and it was
still with some difficulty that he finally
made choice for himself. What was
he to do with the others? He didn't want
to fracture their hearts. He came to
me for advice. "Let me manage it,"
said I. eff you suddenly jilt them
they'll get mad about it, and perhaps
lose the whole summer by moping. Of
course they'd come around all right by
next winter, and catch on with two fell
lows every whit as good as you. But
the thing can be fixed better" And
so it has been, within month from the
time when my agency began. I gave
the most careful attention to the affair.
First, picked out two fellows to replace
the original in the girls affections and
adrotly introduced them. Secondly,
instructed the latter chap just how
fast and in what manner to make show
of flirting with the maiden of his choice.
The result was that I managed to trans
fer two feminine hearts neatly, and all
the while they thought they were vol
unfairly throwing their old sweetheart
overheard. One of them actually pitied
him, and almost spoiled my job by tell
ing him so-for that wounded his van
ity. What is wanted in sentimental
undertakings is adriotness.

While the passenger train of the
Annapolis and Elkridge Railroad, due
here thi morning at S.55, was pro-
ceeding on its way from the juno
ti0n, and when near Brownsville,
about four miles from this city, sud-
den jar was felt by the passengers,
which caused them to spring to their
feet in great alarm. Conductor WeIch
who was in charge Of the train, re-
quested all to remain seated, that there
was no danger. Upon looking back
it was discoYered that four freight
cars that bad been attached to the
passenger train were forced off the
track, three of which were turned COM
pletely over, and the other one partly
over, and all off their trucks. The
accident was caused by a broken rail
but fortunately the passenger cars
had passed safely over it, and the
freight cars becoming uncoupled by
the jar were thrown from the track.
No one was hurt by the accident. Mr..
Lewis Davis, brakeman, being on the
disconnected train at the time, made
a narrow escape. The only damage
to the passenger coaches was the
breaking Of the lamps and shades in
the cars by the flying bell cord.

ihe House OF ReSoi1aion, :

secretary NMWXyM WGWNX
the REOuse Of BesOnulAOm,
The Secretary of the Navy has sent
to the House reply to the resolution
Of that body calling for information
in relation to the cause of the death Of
Cadet Strang at the Naval Academy.
In his communication the Secretary
says, after reviewing the circumstan-
ces of Cadet Strang's death, that
there is no reason to believe that
Cadet Strang died in consequence Of
cruelties practiced upon him by ca
diets, but from hernia
The Secretary quotes the follow
ing charges from what he supposed
to be the report of the committee on
naval affairs, but which was simply a
statement printed in the Congression-
al Record showing the nature Of the
charges on which the House resolu
tion was based:
First, that those interested in the
Strang case have said that they could
get no response from the authorities.
Second, that some cases of hazing
have been simply diabolical at Anna
polls, in spite of all denials to the con-
trary.
Third, that there are at the Acad-
emY a great many of young rufians.
Fourth, that there have been
mock religious meetings among the
cadets, and that piety is ridiculed and
discouraged.
Fifth, that some of the scenes at
the Academy are simply horrible;'
that boys have TO battle with sin and
vice in all its forms of hideousness. !
and
Sixth, that hazing still goes on OF
the Academy, when any man Of ordi-
nary skill and discipline might stop
it.
In reply to these charges the Secre-
tary says: without intending anv
disrespect toward this House, or any
member, I deem it my imperative
duty to state that, in my belief, there
10 no Just foundation for such grave
public condemnatioLs of the manage
ment Of the Naval Academy.

The Public Schools.

The public schools are now ell III
session for the winter, and they de-
serve more attention than is usually
given them. Parents as q rule. regard
their entire duty in this connection
discharged in paying their tax and
properly clothing and sending their
children to school. There is reason
to fear that many look upon the school
room as nursery to relieve them from
the troublesome children. The pub
lie schools cannot accomplish the full
measure Of their responsibilities unless
the parents join with teachers and di-
rectors in attention TO pupils. The
school term should increase the watch
fullness and care Of parents. Daily in
quiry should be made Of scholars Or
their progress, and an active interest
manifested In their advancement. Oc-
casional visits should be made "a the
school room byevery parent. Commu-
nication should be frequent with the
teacher ii regard to the child. In
every possible avenue the parent
should exhibit . real interest ii the
school standing and progress of the
child. The knowledge Of such inter-
est viii put the child on his guard and
metlle and spur him q to greater ex-
erkion. This interest should not close
with the school-room and the studies.
