celebrated grove of plum trees thas
wore then In full bloom. After an
hours do in "jinrikisha, or "ku-
rum,n as these little man-carriages
are more commonly called, we arrived
at our destination, where great num-
bers Of people were hocking from all
points.
The trees were one mass OF fragrant
white and delicate pink blossoms. Hum
areds Of visitors in holiday attire were
strollino about under the branches with
extreme delight depicted on their
co,ntenances. Others again had spread
,uos under the trees, where they we're
served with delicious tea from a neigh-
boriny ten house. The brightly clad
children we're dancing and frolic"ing
in the shade of the blossoms. and a
more perfect picture of sunshine and
happlness can hardly be imagined.
Innumerable little strips OF paper Hut
terino among the blossoms attracted
nv attention. Miss Okiku informed
me that it was the happy custom OF the
people to give vent to their delight on
these occasions by inscribing poetic
sentiments, too brief perhaps to be
called poems, and hanging them up In
the boughs. And sure enough, as
looked about me, | observed several
nersons with paper and pocket ink
stands in hand engaged in composing
these little sonnets in praise OF the
blossoms.

How to Improve the Abomtnabio Condt'
tIon OF Our Money.


How 10 Improve tn. Abomtnabis Condi.
tIon OF Our Money.
The condition OF the large portion OF
the Government currency now In cir
oulation--g reenhacks and silver GER
tificates--is simply abominable The
bills are badly worn, torn, ragged.
greasy and rank smelling. Can't some
thing be done to remedy thisp The
present condition Of the National bank
currency Is bad enough, but IT Is Tar
superior TO the Government currency.
Neither the banks nor individuals will
voluntarily send 1t TO the Treasury De-
partment at Washington for redemp-
ton In clean. new bills for several rea-
sons, via. labor and expense required
for IL; loss OF the use OF the money for
several days; loss that might arise
from counterfeit bills that the Treas
sry experts might discover among the
bills sent In for redemption. IL might
be said In reply: We'll. now. 1t 10
very easy to find fault; but what's your
practicable remedyP"
In answer the following remedy IL
proposed by Mr.. !. H. Newton in the
Springfield Republican,: Let the pres
ent bank examiners, or special agents
appointed for this purpose. be author
ised and directed To enter all the Ma
tional banks and require all the Gov
eminent currency each bank has on
hand 10 be delivered to them for cx-
animation. Let the currency that Is
clean and In good condition be returned
to the bank. and have the balance sent
TO the Treasury Department after
punching holes through all the bills
30 sent TO render them useless. doing
this in the presence OF one or more
officers OF the bank. and then give the
bank draft on the United States
Treasury for the amount SO cancelled.
Ia case any question should arise over
an alleged counterfeit bill. then have
II sent 10 the Treasury Department for
critical examination and decision.
IL II proves TO be a genuine bill, then
send the bank a new one for 1t, other
wise let the bank lose 1t, and be
educated" thereby TO be- more
careful about taking In counterfeit
bills In the future This would assist
the Government In terreting ou
counterfeiters By this. or a similar
method. the Government currency
could .be kept in a good. clean ant
healthy condition. The National barl
currency might be treated in the sam.
way II thought advisable. A similar
method might also be pursued iol
keeping the coinage OF the country il
good condition. Coins weighing below
certain fixed standard. and at tn,
same time above another lower tixe,
standard, should be redeemed by tn
Government ut par value. while coin
falling below the second standar
should be redeemed as bullion only.
II, In addition TO the above, all tn
banks and moneyed institutions wer
required 10 wash or cleanse all th
coins they received before paying thei
out again. all danger from transmi
ting contagious diseases would be r,
moved. and then we would have all til
money of the country in Il clean, swee
healthy aud quite perfect condition.

FIVE TIMES As MANY REGULAR
READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY

nvered regularly by careful carriers at
the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER

leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY
MEMBER OF THE FAMILY.
They know that IL prints all the news,
and has only the interests Of the people
of the District I'm view, with no partisan
measures to advocate, and no private
schemes to forward. They know IL, I'm
short, to be THE PEOPLES PAPER,
and nothing else, As an ADVERTISING
MEDIUM IL is, therefore, ABSO-
LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. IL is
I'm fact worth more as a means Of reach

Furthermore, I'm proportion to the re-
turns il gives its patrons, ITS ADVER-
