MORMON TITHING SCRIP.
The Queer Substitute for Money Used b,
the Latter Day Saints.

The Queer Substitute for Money Used by
the Latter-Day Saints.
If you 60 into the principal Office OF
the tithing-house you will see tall
young man handling what looks like
money. He is behind counter and the
counter is protected by high railing.
The man glances through the window,
then looks down at the bills, and then
goes on thumbing them like a bank
teller. He goes to and fro from big
safe, carrying bundles done up just as
bills are, with little bands of brown
paper pinned about them. Sometimes
the young man doesn't stop to count, but
takes the amount on the brown slip as
correct and passes out the money. This
is Mormon money. 1t is the tith.
ing scrip. 1t is used to facilitate
the handling of the grain, and hay,
and live stock, and produce which come
in. If you pick up one of these bills
you will find it very much like bank
note in appearance. In one upper cor
ner is the number of the bill. In the
lower left-hand corner is the in hoe signo
of Mormonism, beehive.
The face of the bill reads: General
tithing Store-house. Good only for mer.
chandise and produce at the general
tithing store-house, Salt Lake City
Utah." Each note bears the signature OF
the presiding bishop. On the back is
the denomination again and vignette
of the new temple at Salt Lake City.
The back also bears the wording: "This
note is not current except in the mer
chandise and produce departments Of
the general tithing store-house." The
engraving is we'll executed and the
printing is we'll done. The bills vary
in color. There are greenbacks for one
department of the tithing house, brown.
backs for another, and so on. BY using
this scrip the church is able to create a
market for considerable quantities Of
the tithing. This scrip is given out
in dispensing charity. 1t is used foH
paying for work on the temple SO far as
the workmen can make use of it. En-.
ployes of the tithing house receive their
salaries or allowances partly in scrip.
In numerous ways the Mormon money
gets into circulation.-Cor. st. Louis

STAMP SIGNATURES.
Why No Firm or Person Can Recognize
Them with Safety.

Why No Firm or Person Can Recognize
Them with Safety.
All business men should take warning
against stamped signatures from the
huge swindle perpetrated not long ago
on the Indiana insane asylum officials,
by some forger who passed a large num-
ber of checks on the merchants of that
city. 1t is supposed that the stamp Of
that institution was counterfeited and
that all the checks have originated from
the same person. The checks were made
payable to different persons and were
cashed by merchants who sold the bearer
a small bill of goods and paid the re-
mainder of the check in cash. Every
bank in the city but one received the
bogus checks on deposit from customers.
There is no clew to the forger. He did
his work speedily, secured large
amount of money from the guileless
merchants of the Hoosier metropolis and
left for another field of labor before his
forgeries had been discovered. 1t is es-
timated that the losses from this one
stamp will amount to many thousands of
dollars.
All business men or organizations, who
acknowledge the genuineness of
stamped signature by using it in the
transaction of business, are just as liable
for the full amount of a check or note
stamped by that signature as they would
be if the signature had been written by
their own hands. The limited States
Government will not accept stamped
signature from any bank or Government
official. The stamped signature has
come to be quite generally recognized in
business circles, but it is source of dis
aster that should be speedily abolished.
Courts would certainly hold that if
stamp was acknowledged as genuine
signature by any person or firm, that
person or firm is responsible for the
stamped signature when a check or note
stamped Herewith is in the hands of an
innocent party. 1t is only another feat
ure of the innocent purchaser" decis-
ion of the courts. 1t is fruitful field
for skillful forgers, and the burden OF
proof would be on the owner of the orig
inal stamp to prove that the stamp
which deceived the merchant, bank
cashier or other person was forgery.
Any person who can gain access to
your stamp can very easily place you in
trouble. No person or firm can recog-
nize stampd signature with safety.

IN WOMAN'S BEHALF.
A HARVEST SERMON.


The woods are russell golden. On the hill
The busy hum Of insect life is still;
The dreamy softness in the air grows chill
The swallows nests are empty In the caves;
Her filmy web, dew-gemmed, the spider
weayes,
Framed by Virginia creepcr's blood-red
leaves.
The harvest fields Of all their wealth are
shorn,
The last rich load In triumph home is borne.
And cleaners gather up the fallen corn.
Not one of all those sheaves Of gathered grain
But feeds mankind, or. sown, lives on again;
Not one amongst the cleaners tolls In vain.
No falling leaf from those great ems hard by,
Drenched through by autumn mist, can aimless
die,
But feeds the nook where Springs first violets
lie.
Nor, sisters, is one fight for justice lost,
Though thrashcd and winnowed-to destruc-
tion tossed;
God works alike by sunshine and by FROST
Strive for the right Do battle brayc and
true!
Fear not and faint not! For the end in view,
Leave 1t with Him. Dead efforts live anew!

BUSINESS EDUCATION.
Benjamin Franklin's Views on Educating
Women for RuRinesk.

Benjamin Franklin's Views on Educating
Women for Business.
Benjamin Franklin, the great philos-
opher and statesman of the eighteenth
century, very early took ground in favor
of the education of the female sex. lie
relates in his autobiography that he dis
cussed the matter with his bookish boy
hood chum, John Collins, when he was
hardly more than fourteen or fifteen
years of age, Collins taking the ground
that it was improper to educate the
female sex In learning, and that they
were naturally unequal to II, while
Franklin took the opposite sides After
the discussion, Franklin says: 81 sat
down to put my arguments in writing,
which copied fair and sent to him. He
answered and Ireplied. Three or four
letters on side passed" But 1t does
not appear that these early papers were
preserved for our perusal.
In 1888, when he was carrying on bus'
mess as printer in Philadelphia, being
himself but twenty-seven years of age,
he says: 81 sent one Of my journeymen
to Charleston, S. c., where printer was
wanting. furnished him with press
and letters, on an agreement Of partner
ship, bywhich / was to receive one-third
of the profits of the business, paying
one-third of the expense. He was a
man Of learning, but ignorant in mat
ters of account; and, though he some-
times made me remittances, ! could get
no account from him, nor any satisfsc-
tory state Of our partnership while he
lived. On his decease his business was
conducted by his widow, who, being
born and bred in Holland, where, as
have been informed, the knowledge OF
accounts makes part of female educa-
ton, not only sent me as clear state
ment as she could find of the transac-
tions past, but continued to account
with the greatest regularity and exact
ness every quarter afterwards, and
managed the business with such success,
that she not only reputably brought up
family of children, but, at the expira-
tion of the term, was able to purchase of
me the printing house, and to establish
her son in it. / mention this affair
chiefly for the sake of Recommending
that branch of education for young
women, as likely to be of more use to
them and their children, in case of Wild
owhood, than either music or dancing;
by preserving them from losses by i'm
posing and crafty men, and enabling
them to continue, perhaps q profitable
mercantile house, with established
correspondence, till son is grown up
fit to undertake and go on with it; to the
lasting advantage and enriching of the
family"
This appears from the distance Of
more than century and half, as
pretty sound philosophy, as progressive
craftsmanship, and certainly as very
good sense,-Womans Journal.

DIGGER INDIAN FARE.
A Chiefs Account of Butter Made froi
Gnats and Grasshoppers. -.

A Chiefs Account of Butter Made from
Gnats and Grasshoppers.
''No acorns, no Indians" sententiously
said Chief Bonnell, the captain" Of the
remnants of the Yosemite tribe. In his
rude and imperfect form of speech the
chief without a following substantially
said:
''The acorn crop of this valley has
been failure for the past five years.
Whenever the crop is failure in this
valley the crop is bountiful on the coast
range, and when it is large there it is
sparse here" No explanation can be
given of this seeming popularity only
that 'it Just happened So" The Mono
and other Indians that frequented this
valley to gather the acorn crop came no
more, and have abandoned this lovely
vale to bowling tourists and professional
sight-seers. Through the kindness of
the chief l was shown through his
small camp of few huts and perhaps
twenty-five or thirty followers of
tribe that few years ago numbered
more than one thousand. Though the
acorns have disappeared the caches" or
store baskets remain. These baskets
are queerly if not wonderfully made,
being l21Exs feet, and placed on a plat
form four feet from the ground. The
sides are formed of bushes interlaced with
pine boughs inverted, the needles
of which prevent squirrels from
climbing up, and also conduct the rain
downward on the outside. The top is
rooted with pine bark, and made water
tight. The acorns are stored here and
preserved during winter for future use,
just as the woodpecker drives the acorn
in the holes he drills in the pine trees.
1t is both interesting and amusing to see
the squaws prepare the frugal meal Of
acorn bread. The women and children
gather the acorns in small baskets-the
more worms in the acorns the better
they are relished. Each acorn is placed
on its particular end and hit on the head
with pebble, which opens it, separating
the bark from the kernel; then it is
spread on a rock to dry, after which the
women grind the acorns into meal by
means of mortar and pestle, something
like druggists mix compounds for the
disorganization of the stomach of the
paleface. In the meantime the bucks
have built fire surrounded by rocks,
which are made "white heat The
meal is poured into water-tight basket,

Disobliging Hotel People.

hotel in Broadway and signed his name
to the register. Il want to be called at

cided emphasis on the six"
''Front,' shouted the clerk, ''show
the gentleman up to room No. $780,"
Up on the sixth floor the young man
designated as ''Front" unlocked the door
of room No. s33 and found the room in
disorder. A neglectful chambermaid
had not made up the bed since it had
been slept in. The tired traveller looked
with evident disgust at his surroundings
and said: ''Go down to the Office as
quickly as you can and get the key of
another room. can not sleep here, and
want to go to bed as soon as possible" :"
Then he sat down to wait. Fifteen
minutes, which seemed an hour to him,
passed and he pulled the bell-handle
in the room. After another ten min
utes he yanked the bell-handle until it
broke. Five minutes later he was crop
ing his way along the hall on his
downward journey to the Office, swear
ing at every step, when he met
''Front," who inquired blandly if he
had rung.
''Have you got the key of another
room?" demanded the angry man.
''No. If you can wait awhile I'll
have the bed in No. S33 made up for
you"
There was an explosion of wrath that
ended in the declaration: "If you don't
get another room for me in three min
utes there will be a circus here that you
will have cause to remember if you sur

''Front" quickly disappeared and as
quickly returned with the key of the
room adjoining No. S33, and in few
minutes more the tired traveller was
snug in bed.
Promptly at six o'clock in the morn

of No. S33. The traveller in the next

knocked louder and louder on the door,
shook it and kicked it, but there
was no sound within the room. Half a
dozen men who had rooms on the same
floor came out into the hall in night
attire to inquire why they had been
aroused at such an early hour. The
porter explained in tones loud enough
to be heard by every body on the floor,
that he had been ordered to call the
man in No. 1873 at six o'clock and the
blamed idiot wouldn't answer his call.
The man from New Jersey lay on his

with suppressed laughter. He heard
some talk by his neighbors in VIII ich the
word 'gas," Sudden death" and

procured step-ladder and looked
through the transom.

The Protecting Ballot.

We would really like the women who
have no natural protectors-and may
they be few-to have right to work for
fair wages, without undeserved criticism
or invidious distinction. And we are
not blind to the fact, writes Ella w.
Peattie, in America, that the ballot Is
certain protection, lever, and an argu-
ment in matters commercial and Judi
cial. A legally recognized citizen of the
United States is more apt to obtain his
rights in a court of law than an alien, o
slave, or woman, or any other person
not invested with legal recognizance.
Is it not so? A manufacturer would
perhaps treat his female employees with
more consideration If they held the
power of the ballot. And If he comes to
mere question of justice, woman edu-
