At San Miguel the first real disap-

stay long enough to go to the Furnas.
The Furnas has, it il claimed, the most
wonderful hot springs in the world.

there Is no question but the Furnas has

ceasing in her low, incoherent rawlings
I bent over her and spoke her name,
but, though the large. dark eyes at last
opened, there was no sign of recogni-
ton in them. Her glance moved slowly
from one to the other in the room, but
it was evident her mind was wandering
and she did not know them.
Gradually her words became moro
connected, and she repeated the same
piteous story yesterday. Stretching
out her hands toward the girls, though
she still gave no sign of seeing them,
she exclaimed: "Oh, Matte, Anna,
don't please don't! never harmed
you; what makes you treat me so about
my dress? I can't help it! Iwouldn't
say 80 If You had to wear it'll" ending
with the same heart-rending cry of
yesterday: "Oh, it hurts me SOL"
The girls had stood looking on, pale
and trembling, and at her repeated
pathetic cries they broke into sobbing,
and ran out of the room.

Soon after calling the school to order
I sent Ruth out upon an errand, and
then repeated to the scholars the con-
versation I had just overheard I gave
no names, but dwelt earnestly upon the
injustice of such conduct, and expressed
the hope that this might be the last
time I should be panied by such un-
kindness in any OF my scholars.
The two girls had the good grace to
look ashamed at the reprimand, but
feared the impression would be but
temporary.
During my four-mile walk home that
night my mind was filed with thoughts
of Ruth. All my happy e1altation of
the morning was gone; even the pre-
cious $l2 in my pocket were almost for
gotten. for the sorrow of dear little
Ruth was uppermost in my mind.
On reaching home poured all nv
troubles into the ears of dear, sympa-

bodiment of all earthly wisdom.

Redesming Counterfeit Notes.

The holders of 500 franc notes of the
Bank of France have been badly fright
ened by the discovery that o number of
forged or counterfeit notes of this denom-
ination have been put in circulation.
The difference between the estimation
in which paper money is held by the
people of France and those Of the United
States is shown by the run made on the
Bank of France in consequence of the
discovery. United States legal tender
notes and national bank notes of various
denominations have been counterfeited
to some extent, but no one ever heard of
run on the treasury OF ON any particu-
lar bank from this cause. In two days
the Bank of France cashed %, 300 notes
of the counterfeited denomination, and
of these only one proved to be counter
felt. The whole number of counterfeits
discovered was about seventy.
The French government, as it had the
legal right to do In order to allay the ex-
citement and stop the run ON the bank,
required the latter 10 cash all notes pre-
sented, whether counterfeit or not. The
justice Of this requirement is founded on
the principle that the bank, exercising
the privilege of issuing notes, should
either print them in manner rendering
it impossible to counterfeit them, or bear
the loss that successful counterfeits inflict
on an unsuspecting public. In this mat
ter the bank and the public are equally
innocent Of the crime, but it is maxim
of law that where the loss must fall upon
one or two innocent parties, it should
fall on the one by whom the loss was
rendered possible. The bank by exercis-
ing the privilege Of issuing notes-which
privilege is for its advantage-made it
possible to impose on the public by coun-
terfeiting the notes, and should therefore
bear the loss. This principle is too much
lost sight of In this country.-Journsl Of
Banking.

Concerning the South Pole.

If Henry Willard carries out his pres
ent intention of making a trip to the
south pole the world will doubtless learn
some new facts about that interesting
region. Sir James Ross has told us all
that is known about the south pole. He
found enormous fields of ice and ice
bergs a mile high, and he also found an
open polar sea. He saw beyond the
extreme southern limit of his voyage an
enormous active volcano, and this gives
rise to the belief that the intense cold in
the vicinity of the pole may be tempered
by the heat escaping from the interior of
the earth. This fact perhaps led Poe to
write his wild and fanciful account of
the adventures of Arthur Gordon Pym.
The world at large will wish Mr.. Willard

ence.-Atlanta Constitution.

Interesting Triplets in Alabama.

The case of the Georgia triplets is not
more interesting than one seen by the
writer near Pine Apple, Wilcox county,
Ala, somewhat less than year ago.
Perhaps description of them would be
of some interest. l went to see them
last August QSSD, accompanied by DIR.
w. R. Chapman, physician to their
mother. From him and the parents to-
gether I learned the following facts con-
cerning the case: The mother is the off
spring of a genuine negress and white
man, which makes her a mulatto. The
father is the son of mulatto on one side
and an Indian on the other, thus fur
nishing to one issue the blood of three
distinct races. In one of these triplets
are seen all the cardinal characteristic
features of the North American Indian;
in another are seen the distinguishing
marks that indicate the negro race, while
in the third the admirable features of the
Caucasian predominate.
Their mother, at the time of their
birth, was 4S years old. I do not re-
member the exact age of the father, but
he is an old man; his hair is very gray,
nearly white. The children are now
nearly 3 years old. They are all well
formed, and were in excellent health
when found them. In commenting on
them the mother said: II tell you it's a
big task to nurse three babies at one
time" But both parents seem to be
very proud of them. w. Graydon in

Better Than German Cement.

Some German scientists who have
made a personal investigation of the
quality of Indiana limestone and clay
suitable for the manufacture of Portland
cement, report that the quality surpasses
their expectation. Their tests show that
cement manufactured from material
found near indianapolis is superior to
that manufactured in Germany and now
largely imported into this country on ac-
count of its excellent quality. Cement
which costs $1.25 per barrel to make in
Germany, can be made in Indiana for
eighty-three cents.-Frank Leslie's.

The Chinese in Honolulu.

The Chinese problem is coming to the
front in the Sandwich Islands as well as
elsewhere. In Honolulu whole streets
are occupied by the Chinese. They work
at the laundry business in part and are
also walters and servants. Many small
shops in all the islands are run by Chi
nese. Almost all the poi is made by
them, and the white poi flag is seen
everywhere. Poi? Oh, the taro is a

The Garfield Youny EoIlSs.

The marriage portion of the Garfield
young people will be ample, as Mrs. Gar
field is rich and the Masons have always
lived in good style. Gen. Garfield's es-
tate netted the widow about $40, 900, and
in addition she received $4,000 in
surance on his life. Congress, it will re-
membered, voted her an annual pension
of $1,000, and gave her besides $40, 900,
which would have been the balance of
the salary due the president at the end Of
his first year in Office had he lived. The
amount of the popular subscription raised
directly after Garfield's death, when in
vested for her in government bonds,
aggregated $4,000. 1t will be observed,
therefore, that she is quite comfortable
when it comes to hard cash, and her
yearly income must be at least $25, 600.
