The studio where Hiram Powers worked
SO long remains just as he left it. Some
years before his death I called there, and
he showed me his artistic children, his
"Eve," his "Greek Slave" and other stat

find his son, Nicholas Longworth Powers,
doing the like good work in the same place.
In looking at the fathers statues could
trace the growth of his art. When Thor
waldsen visited him he inspected the "Eve"
closely, and Powers apologized for it, as

and blouse, his genial face and twinkling
eye.

How many people know how much there
is in this country Of what people call
money! how much in gold and sill
yer coin, and how much in greenbacks
and other paper currency bearing the
stamp Of the United States government
Very few. Inquiry at the treasury depart
ment discovers the fact that there is, all
told, just a little over two billions, or be
tween $50 and $40 apiece for every man,
woman and child in the United States OF
this a little over one-half is in gold and
silver coin, and little less than one-half
in paper of various kinds. OF the metal
money about two-thirds are in gold and
one-third in silver Of the paper about
one-third is in United States notes or green
backs, one-fourth in silver certificates, one
sixth in gold certificates, one-fifth in ma
tional bank notes and the remainder in va
rious denominations.
But the 81, 900, 000, 900 of United States cur
rency is not all in circulation 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 the silver is
locked up in the treasury. The circulating
medium in use among the people is three
fourths paper, the largest volume being in
greenbacks, with silver certificates next,
then national bank notes, then gold certif-
Gates. But we would not be doing gold
justice if we did not say that there was
more gold in circulation than any one kind
of paper.-Washington Critic.

A PASSING FACE.

Twas but moment Long enough to feel
The grateful presence of her quiet grace.
And at her beauty's shrine moment kneel,
To mark the sweetness of her gentle face.
To catch glance from out her downcast eyes,
A feeting light Of violet, more rare
Than all the colors of the summer skies,
That but moment fingered fiuttering there
A moment. Then she vanished; yet to stay
Within my memory, as some distant strain
Of music rising slowly, dies away,
But fingers yet when all is still again.
Or IS dream that fits across the mind
When care is bound by all forgetting sleep,
Too soon will vanish. but yet leave behind
A gentle sweetness that the senses keep.
If fate had been but kinder. Who can tell
Our paths had been the same, and, hand in hand
Together we had wandered DER the fell
And crossed the border Of the unknown land?
We met to meet no more. Upon the sea
OF life we pass like ships. A moment seen,
signal shown, shout thrown cheerily,
Then darkness, waves and distance stretch be
tween.

must be done with an eye single to the

swinging Indian clubs and jumping over
wooden horses almost every afternoon after
certain hours. Mr.. Ellsworth goes further

he plays it in Christian spirit and for the

A New Fish Story.

1t was at the Fifth Avenue hotel, where be

including Mr.. Cooper, the Mexican onyx
mine owner, when Mr.. Florence gravely
told about going afishing and catching 6
fish that weighed 500 pounds. The onyx
mans eyes twinkled like stars as the story
was concluded, and to Mr. Florence's in
quiry whether or not he couldn't tell fish
story, too, he replied:
"You bet I can. Why, went afshine
once and caught a 'possum that weighed
900 pounds. He was the biggest
"But hold on" put in Mr.. Florence
whats that got to do with fish?'
"Eh? Oh, yes. Well, you see we weighed
him on scales, and you must admit scales
have something to do with fish, and ther
as he was 'possum we set him to telling
stories to suckers suckers are fish, eh?"
Florence gasped for breath and owned
up that he was defeated.-New York Press

Do Insects Count?

Several instances of apparent counting
are mentioned by Sir John Lubbock in his
Senses of Animals" as exhibited by in
sects. The several species of eumenes, for
instance, supply their young with definite
numbers of victims; and, while the males
are smaller than the females, and require
less food, the insect seems to know whether
the egg will produce male or female
grub, and apportions the quantity of food
accordingly, giving five victims to the male
and ten to the female. 1t is suggested by
Mr.. G. A. Freeman that the matter is one
of physiological interval. The male eggs
follow one another in less time than the
female, giving time to store smaller num-
Der of caterpillars before the next egg has
to be provided for.

Six railroad men in New Mexico, all well

a cross eyed highwayman to stand them up
