WEALTH OF U. 8.
Queer Facts About Money.

How many people know how much
there IS in this country OF what people
Call money how much in 20 u and
silver coin, and how much IN green
la ks and other paper currency bearing
the stamp OF the L nited States Govern
nentl Very few. Inquiry at the
re~sury Department discovers the fact
That there is, all told, just little over
Two billions, or between $50 and $40
apIe { for every man, woman and child
In the United States. OF this a little
aver one-half is In gold and silver coin,
Etud a little less than one-half in paper
1t various kinds. OF the metal money
about two-thirds are IN gold, and one
third il silver. OF tile per about one
rhird is in United States notes or green
backs, one-fourth in silver C rtitcates,
one-sixth in gold certificates, one-fifth
IN national bank notes, and the remain
sler In various denominations.
But the 5000, ,00l, 90 of United
States currency are not all in cIrcula-
,tion among the people. More than
,one-third is locked up in the Treasury
building, and that Is the normal state
of things. One half of all the gold and
three-fourths of all TIE silver is locked
up in the Treasury. The circulating
three-fourths paper, the largest volume
being the greenbacks, with silver GER
tihcates next, then national bank notes,
then gold certificates. But We would
not be doing justice il we did not say
that there was more gold N ejaculation
than any one kind of paper.
What 4 disprC portion between the
amount of wealth and the amount of
money in the United States! All the
money in the country, including what
is locked up in the Treasury would not

the personal property in the city OF
Washington.
Americans are not in the habit OF
carrying all their wealth in their pocket
books, and that Is why American
money is worth cent per cent all the
world over
The largest greenback extant is worth
SlO, 900, and there Is only one such note
in existence. OF 5000 notes there are
seven, and when you come down 10 the

sIeepIng 10 the wooas.

Imagine your bed-chamber of odor.
Gus bark and your bed of pungent
oughs. Your couch made under
u.urmuring trees and within few yards
vt the lazily moving water, whose mo-
uuns caress rather than chafe the shore.
Stretched your full length on such .
couch. spread IN such n place, the pro-
cess uf falling asleep becomes an e1-
rerIeuce. You lie aud watch yourself
t. observe the gradual departure of
Your senses. Little by little you feel
yourself passing away. Slowly and
easily As an ebbing tide YOU begin to
pass into the dim and insensible realm
beyond the line of feeling. At last -
moment comes in which you know you
are passing over the very verge of con
sciousUess. You are aware that You
are about to fall asleep. Your cheek
but partly interprets the cool pressure
ot the night wind; your ears drowsily
surrender the lingering murmur of
beach and pine; your eyes droop their
lids little by little; your nose slightly
s-uses the odor of the pIny air, as you
mechanically draw it in; the chest falls
as Il passes as mechanically out, and
then YOU are asleep. The hours pass,
and still you sleep on. The body, In
obedience to some occult law of force
within the insensible frame, still keeps
up Its respirations; but you are soue-
where sleeping. At last the pine
above you, in the deep hush which pre-
cedes the coming of dawn, stills Its
nunotouy, and silence weaves its airy
web amid the motionless stems. The
water falls asleep. The looms head is
under Its spotted wing, and the owl be-
comes mute. The deer has left the
shore and lies curled in its messy bed

Quotations From Garfield.

After the battles OF arms comes the
battle OF history.
For the noblest man that lives there
still remains conflict
would rather be beaten in right
than succeed III wrong.
Present evils always seem greater
than those that never come.
Growth is better than permanence,
and permanent growth Is better than
al.
II is one of the precious mysteries of
sorrow that IL finds solace in selfish
thought
Statesmanship consists rather in re-
moving the causes than IN puuIshitg or
eyIdlng results
Great ideas travel slowly, and for j
time nolselessly. as the gods whose feet
were shoi with wool.
Idess are the great warriors Of the
wo-ld, and a war that has no Ideas be-
hind It Is simply brutality.
Eternity alone will reveal TO the
human race Its debt of gratitude TO the
peerless and immortal name Of Wash
ington-
IL Is as much the duty Of AL good
men TO protect and defend the Teputa-
tiOn of worthy public servants IS 10 de-
tect public rascals.
Throughout the whole web of na,
tional existence We trace the golden
thread of human progress toward the
higher and better estate.
Occasion may be the bugle call that
summons AN army to battl-, but the
blast of a bugle can never make soldiers

From GarfIeId's Speeches.

Whatever you win in life you must
conquer by your own efforts, and then
it is yours, part of yourself
After all, territory Is but the body of
4 nation. The people who inhabIt its
hills and Its valleys are its soul, its
spirit, its life.
The privilege OF being a young man
Is 4 great privilege. and the privilege of
growing up to be an independent man
in middle life is greater.
An act of bad faith on the part OF a
state or municipal corporation. like
poison in the blood, Will transmit its
curse TO succeeding generations
II there be one thing on this earth
that mankind love and admire better
than another it is a brave man; it Is a
man who dares TO look the devil III the
face and tell him he i, a devil.
Bad faith on the part of AN indi-
vIdual, a city, or even a state, Is a small
evil in comparison with the calamiIieS
which follow bad faith Oh the part of a
sovereign government
We should do nothing inconsistent
with the spirit and genius of our insti-
tutions. We should do nothing for re-
venge, but everything for security;
nothing for the past, but everything for
The present and future.
