4 BAD BILL.

There are some good bills before the
legislature, some bad bills. and some
bills as to the merits of which the
GLOBE has no opinion, one way or the
other. One of the bad bulls which
ought not to pass is the one limiting
the contract price for money and
making the charging and collect
ing of commissions by money brok-
ers illegal. There is no objection and
there may be some advantage in reduc-
ing the legal rate of interest below s
per cent, where it is at present. but in
general it is not for the advantage of
this state to do anything which VIII in
terrupt the free flow OF capital to its
borders. There can be no more awful
calamity pictured for our people
than to have the time for the
renewal of the myriads OF mort
cages which are outstanding OH Mime

and the debtors to find it impossible to
save themselves from foreclosures and
eyictions because middlemen have been
legislated out Of existence, and the rates
of interest have been fixed so low that
money cannot be he had at them. The
distress which would attend such a
state of affairs would be appalling. The
way to get the rates of interests low in
Minnesota, is to make capitalists feel
that the security is so good and the re-
turns SO adequate here. that they will
send their money in the greatest vol
ume to the state. Brokers will then
cut their commissions to secure BUSH
ness, and capitalists lower their charges
TO secure investments. The fewer laws
there are to hamper in this field the
better it will be for everybody.

The Crocheted Necktie.

the town of Boston. Because ladies are
always in search of new fancy work, and
because Christmas is drawing near, and
there is an inevitable dearth of ideas on
the subject of presents for the mascu-
Unity of the family, the method of pro-
ducing this necktie is infinitely described.
Make chain of thirty-two, turn and
make a shell in second stitch of chain by
dipping in five times in same stitch;
catch down by knitting single stitch in
fourth stitch of chain, make shell in
sixth stitch, and so on until you have
seven shells. Then make chain of three
and turn.
Second row, make half shell by dip
ping In three times in the very end of
last shell, and continue making full
shells until the end of that rev, making
half shell again on the end; thus every
second row will have six shells and two
half shells, making seven shells in all
This keeps the sides of the tie even,
shape like four-in-hand tie-that is

before narrowing. Narrow gradually
by dropping shell or half shell on each
row until you have narrowed down to

Queer People of Chincotearus.


There is little island about $50 miles
down the Potomac called Chinco-
league. This island is inhabited by
strange race of people and race
of the greatest ponies in the world.
The people of the island fish and
grow oysters and are hardy, primitive
race who fear God and attend strictly to
their business. Hundreds of these won
derful ponies roam the island, living in
the summer on the rank coarse grass.
In the winter they subsist on sea weed,
and IN the Spring are mere frames in
consequence of the diet
These ponies are unlike any ponies in
the world. They are about 10 to 49,
hands high. nearly all sorrels or bays,
and are fine bodied and neatly imbed.
They have the head and eyes of the
Arabian, and the supposition is that orig
inally the stock came from some thor
oughbreds that swan ashore from soma
wrecked vessel What is most remark
able about them is that they trot and
pace fast, and are possessed of remark
able endurance. In the spring ycu can
purchase a good pony for $25 and I'D
ward. The colts are not gelded and
stations predominant. When the weather
is bad and the waves mundate the island
scores of the little fellows are swept into
the water and are lost.-Washinpto

A New Craze.

While strolling through st. Pauls
churchyard few days ago l noticed
that the edges of many of the crumbling
old tombstones had been clipped as il
with an ak, and on inquiry / found
that the clipping was evidence of a new
craze that has broken out among curl
-Ssity seekers. Only the very oldest tomb
6nes are selected by the curio seekers.
The craze in its latest form broke
out during the summer, and in spite Of
the close watch kept few have been
caught in the act of defacing the stones
Nearly all the old tombstones in the
yard are brown stone, and many have
been split and scanned by the storms Of
a century or more. With these the work
of getting piece of the stone is easy, as
a knife blade inserted in any of the
seams will dislodge piece of the stone.
Close watch is being kept to prevent the
spread of the craze.-New York Tele-

1t is frequently asserted that woman
with property has neither pluck nor cool
ness in managing her financial affairs,
granted even, as it rarely is, that she
has the Judgment necessary. A trifing
loss disconcerts her and a profitable
transaction elates her, each unduly.
That one woman can stand up under
rather trying circumstances may, how
ever, be truthfully alleged. She is a
New Yorker, to all intents and purposes,
though her home is in New Jersey sub
urb. Her husband is Wall street man,
and her first claim to distinction is that
Notwithstanding this fact no dollar OF
her property is in that vortex. Still she
likes investments. Three or four years
ago she purchased through an agent an
unimproved piece Of land in promising
'. stern state for slightly less than $500.
She had grown used to holding it and
gave it only an occasional thought, when
one day within the past six months she
received by wire from her agent the as
founding offer of SIS 900 for her land.
1t must be admitted that she was
thrown into state Of tremendous ex-
element. She sent first to the telegraph
Office to have the dispatch repeated, and
when it was, confirming the first mes
sage, she wired to her husband to come
home at once. He took the next train,
fearing some disaster, and rushed in with
breathless anxiety. For answer she gave
him the message, and he strongly urged
her to accept the offer. But, fortified by
his presence, the wife became cool. She
decided that sudden rise of that sort
meant something, and she would await
developments. The offer was declined
Three months later it was doubled, but
now this Portia in finance has become
convinced that she holds property of
permanent value, and the second offer
she declined by herseh.-New York
Times
