Pen Made Money.

Regularly every six months the treas
ury department receives either twenty
or fifty dollar bill which, from all ap-
pearances, instead Of being made from a
plate. is executed entirely with pen.
The work is Of very high order, and
several times these bills have defied de-
lection and passed on their tour of cir
culation unhindered. The counterfeiter
seems to be genius who yearns for no.
Oriety, as he could not make his living
by his penmanship. The cuIprit has not
yet been captured, although efforts have
been made to find him, and it is believed
that he has had the pleasure of viewing
his handiwork in little frame which
hangs on the walls of the treasury build

The Advantage of the Public School.

We have no place in America for
dainty people-often called gilt edged
who think that the army would be a
good place if it were not for the rank
and file. So it is better for boy of
ours to be pitched into public school,
to take pot luck with all sorts and con-
ditions of boys, and to learn, in the
earliest life, that some of the best fel-
lows in the world, not to say the bright
est, never had French nurse, and al
ways black their own shoes, when they
are blacked at all. In all such schools
that have known the tone Of honor is
very high. And in such society one
early learns the great lesson that all the
people are wiser than any one of the
people. e.-Edward Everett Hale in Forum.

clever move to gain her point but the
effect of it was somewhat injured by the
daughters carelessness and ignorance.
On the same page with the poem in
question-in book of selections-was
one by another and more famous writer,
and the girl made the mistake of COM
mitting this instead of the one which her
mother had intended
At the first opportunity the young lady
said to the poet in the presence of sew
eral of the guests:
"It is such delight to meet one whose
lines l have carried in my mind for
yearsl The poem which | love better
than any other in the world is one of
yours"
"Indeedw answered the smiling poet.
81 had not fattered myself that had
written anything worthy of such honor.
What is it,"
With an affected emphasis the girl re-
peated the poem she had learned, the
company, of course, remaining silent
till she had finished.
''It is lovely" murmured one Of the
guests, who did not recognize it.
EYES," said the poet, lit is so good
that can only regret that Wordsworth
should have taken the liberty of writing
it before was born. Otherwise should
undoubtedly have written it myself"
The best of good breeding could not
altogether repress the smiles of the by
ISLANDERS, and the poor girl, suddenly re-
membering that her mother needed her,
disappeared with much celebrity.
''It is pity" the poet said mildly
when she was out of hearing, sit is a
pity that people cannot understand that
we writers, vain though we may be, are
not so blinded by vanity as to be unable
to tell genuine admiration from the
poorest of make believe. ."-Y outh's Com

Baking by Electricity.

Bakers are now using the electric
motor as bread mixer, and are thus en-
abled to do in four or five minutes an
amount of work that would otherwise
require hours of hand labor. A writer
in medical paper says he had frequent
ly obtained much relief from facial neu-
ralgia by applying an incandescent light
to the part affected. He suggested that
the lamp could also be used in poulticing
advantageously. 1t could be laid over
aaxseed or other form of poultice, and
constant heat could be thus secured.

RAILROAD FIREMEN.
The Constitution Amended So as to
Check Strikes.

The Constitution Amended So as to
Check Strikes.
The convention of Railroad Firemen yes
terday morning considered the report of the
Committee on Constitution and Bylaws
The principal clause adopted was that which
forbids strikes until the grievances are sub
mitted to the Supreme Council of the Fed
Grafton, and until their decision no action
must be taken.
This will have the effect, it is hoped,
of greatly reducing the possibilities of
strikes. The Supreme Council is composed
of three grand officers of each branch Of the
Federation; that is, the firemen, the train
men, the switchmen and the conductors
The disability clause of the constitution
was amended so that hereafter member
who is incapacitated from work will be al
lowed to draw his benefits while in that con-
dtion.
AT Yesterdays session report was read
from the Committee on Ways and Means,
also one from the Committee on Magazines,
followed by brief report of the Committee
acting on Bylaws. The committee ap-
pointed 10 report on Grand Master Sargents
recommendation concerning the erection of
building for the brotherhood, asked further
time in which to make its report, and was
granted until tomorrow, the last day OF the
convention.
The delegates will attend the churches to-
day, many of them alsehaving accepted an
invitation to attend the service at the rooms
OF the Young Mems Christian Association.
Ihey have also accepted an invitation ten
dered by the Southern Pacific Company to
make an excursion to Mount Shasta.
The convention will close tomorrow and
the flremen will return East via Los An
geles, leaving here on Wednesday. Last
evening they were rendered a reception at

been obliged to pawn valuable watch for

deem it for him and the accommodating
story ard out Of the goodness of his heart
offered to help him. They went together to
III. Lichtenstein's pawn-shop, on Kearny
street, and while the captain was transact
