THE MONETARY SITUATION

The local money market was not affected ap-
preciaDly either by large exports of gold or dis
appointment that currency has not returned in
large quantities from tie interior. The cOmpari
son of the bank statement with those of previous
years shows that the return flow of currency to
this centre has NOT yet set in. The exports OF
specie, which for the week amounted to $4,410-
037 were much larger than had been expected
Since January they amount to S20,530, 076. a
which is nearly double the amount at the
time last year and has not been exceeded
since 1886. The bulk Of the exports. of COURSE, is
in gold coin. and while il includes few hundred
thousand dollars OF silver the constant buying Of
the Treasury serves as a cheek to the usual out
lie expected that the shipments of gold will be
unusually heavy this spring partly on this ac-
count. If silver cannot 90, and merchandise docs
not. the exports will be limited practically 10 gold

Waste Not, Want Not.

Nowhere is the prodigality of youth
more conspicuous than in the waste of
affection and happiness. When young
and surrounded by friends we treat
affection in a scornful way as if it could
never cease to flow to US. When it
does cease, we look back with sorrowful
wonder at our folly. The old home is
broken up which we did not care to
visit until too late. Now the warmest
welcome we get anywhere is at an inn.
The caress which we took as matter of
course, if we did not reject it, is no
longer proffered. We wasted affection,
and now we want it. We cared for no
one, and now no one cares for us.
"Blind and deaf that we are; oh,
think, if thou yet love anybody living,
wait not till death sweep down the
paltry little dust-clouds and idle dis
sonances of the moment, and all be at
last so mournfully clear and beautiful,
when it is too late" In the same way
pure and peaceful happiness is too
often despised, while we rush after I'M
satisfying excitement.-Quiuer.

A Grateful Woman.

A railroad conductor had been very
kind to the family of a poor Irish la
borer (who had lived on the road, but
who was accidentally run over by the
train some months before), carrying
them little things, taking the widow to
a distant Catholic church free of charge
the SUMNER" said the conductor.
Zone night the next winter it was
very cold, and the mountains were
covered with snow. We were running
to make time, when, on turning curve,
the engineer saw waving light on the
track, and we soon heard some one
ahead shouting. I was then out on the
platform. The engineer Stacked up
and stopped the engine, and we got
out and went ahead in the dark to see
what was the matter. There it wasl
A large landslide had fallen across the
track near the shanty of the old Irish
woman. She had built a fire and
waited and watched for the train, for
the curves were so sharp that we might
have been plump upon the slide before
we could see it. So, when we ran up,
there was the old woman, with her
calico cap, swinging a chunk of fire
like revolving lighthouse; and there
were the young Irish boys carrying
brush, like so many little beavers. She
had watched all that night in the cold,
and, but for her, in another minute we
should have run into pile of dirt and
rocks as big as Barnum's hotel.
should certainly have been killed, for
l was standing on the platform. What
would have become of the passengers
and train? You can guess as we'll as
can. The passengers made up about
eighty dollars for the old woman; the
company afterwards gave her shanty,
rent free; the brakemen and engineers
bought her COW, and she made out
very well. But, when l handed the
money to her that night, see said ::

Americas First Coins.

The earliest coins Tor American use
are said to have been made of brass, on
the Bermuda Islands, about 1912. Cap
tain John Smith appointed Daniel
Tucker as governor of Bermuda, and
in his history states that this governor
enforced labor, and that the colonists
had besides meat, drink and clothes,
a certain kinde of brasse money, with a
hogge on one side, in memory of the
abundance of hogges was found at their
first landing" Previous to this time Sir
Thomas Gates and party of 100 had
been wrecked on the islands, and for
nine months they subsisted chiefly on
the flesh of wild hogs. The gratitude
of these people knew no bounds, and
they stamped the image of their bene-
factor in brass and used it as money
the most enduring form it could posi-
bly, assume. From first to last the hog
has been faithful friend to the Amer
lean people, and whatever @stheticism
might have been urged to the contrary,
it was but simple justice to allow the
hog the honor of taking the lead in fur
nishing the device for American coins

The Town Meeting.

The town meeting has also developed
an intelligent, active-minded, alert,
public-spirited people. Participation
in public business has induced a patri-
otto interest in the art of government
1t is true that the intelligence of the
average New England rural voter is
best shown in his opinions and action
in town politics, but this simply indi-
Gates that the citizen should not un-
necessarily undertake the control of
matters not affecting his own locality,
nor should he give to agents meeting
in remote capital large and impor-
tant jurisdiction over the individual.
The New England townsman knows
how to transact public business. The
first task of every town meeting is the
selection of moderator. In New
England town nearly every man of
prominence has presided at one time
or another over the town meeting.
Even they who have not must be ia
miliar with parliamentary law and prac-
tice, for the clear and simple rules of
Gushing and Jefferson are deliberately
discussed not only by the lawyers and
the clergymen, but by the doctors, the
store-keepers, the mechanics, and the
farmers. 1t would be difficult to find in
a New England community man who
can not take charge of public meet
ing, and conduct its proceedings with
some regard to the forms that are OBJ
served in parliamentary bodies. On
the other hand, 1t would be difficult in

Curious Mental Phenomena.

Three extraordinary instances of
what doctors call "periodic amnesia "
were related to me last night by a
physician attached to the New York
hospital. The first was that of young
American woman who, on awaking
from protracted sleep, lost memory of
all she had before learned. Her mem
DRY had been capacious and well stored
with copious stock of ideas. Unex-
pectedly she fell into profound sleep,
which continued several hours beyond
the ordinary term. On waking she
was discovered to have lost every trace
of acquired knowledge. All vestiges,
both of words and things, were OBJ
liberated. BY new efforts she again &C
quired the art of spelling, reading,
writing and calculating, and gradually
became acquainted with persons and
objects like being for the first time
brought into the world. In these exer-
cises she made considerable proficiency
After few months another fit of
somnolency possessed her. On rousing
from it she found herself restored to
the state she was in before the first
paroxysm, but was wholly ignorant of
every event that had befallen her after
ward The former condition of her ex-
istence she used to call the old state,
and the latter the new state. In the
old state she possessed fine powers of
penmanship. In the new she wrote
poor, awkward hand, having had
neither the time nor the means to be-
come an expert. The second case was
that of lady in the last stages of
chronic disease. She was carried from
her home to a house in the country.
There her infant daughter was taken
to visit her, and after short interview
was carried back to town. The lady
died few days after, and the daughter
grew up without any recollection of her
mother. Years afterward the daughter
visited this same country house, not
knowing that she had ever seen it be-
fore. On entering the room where her
mother died she started and said:
have distinct impression of having been
in this room before, and that lady,
who was in bed and seemed very i'll,
leaned over me, kissed me and wept."
Another authenticated case is that of
clergyman who went abroad with a
party of friends to visit castle which
he had no recollection of having ever
seen before. His conviction that he
must have visited the castle on some
former occasion made him inquire from
his mother if she could throw any light
on the matter. She informed him that
when he was eighteen months old she
had visited the castle with a party of
friends.-Ne1O York Tribune.

Their Ignorance is Bliss.

1t is fortunate that murderers are not
chemists, for there are poisons known
to every chemist which leave absolutely
no trace behind them. One there is
and this, perhaps, was used in Italy
and France when poisoned gloves were
the fashion-which has only to be put
into the water in which person washes
his hands for him either to die or go
mad few months later. Then, again,
what bunglers murderers are in getting
rid of corpse, if they prefer steel or
bullet to poison. There is an acid in
which you only have to immerse a
corpse for it to be dissolved in about an
hour. The water is then poured away,
and not trace or vestige of the body
remains. Putting aside the criminality,
the foolish way in which people COM
NIT murders is reflection on human
intelligence.-London Truth.

The Graves OF a Household.

They grew in beauty, side by side,
They filled one home with glee;-
Their graves are severed far and wide,
by mount and stream and sea.
The same fond mother bent at night
Ger each fair sleeping brow;
She had each folded flower in sight
Where are those dreamers now2
one midst the forest of the West,
by dark stream is laid
The Indian knows his place of rest,
Far In the cedar shade.
The sea. the blue lone sea- hath one,-
lie lies where pearls lie deep;
lie was the loved of all, yet none
DER his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are drest,
Above the noble slain;
He wrapt his colors round his breast
On a blood-red field of Spain.
And one-o'er her the myrtle showers
Its leaves by soft winds famed;
She faded midst italian flowers
The last of that bright band,
And parted thus they rest, who played
Beneath the same green tree;
Whose voices mingled as they prayed
Around one parent kneel
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheered with song the hearth
Alas for love, If thou vert all,
And naught beyond, o earth

This is the favorite drink in all parts
of the country for use in harvest time,
and is probably the very best for such
use. 1t is agreeable to the taste, cool
ing, very slightly stimulating, and en-
tirely free from any harmful effects.
1t is best when made some four or five
weeks before it is to be used, though it
can be made so as to be ready for drink
ing in three days. We give the two
methods for making it thus: First
method: Add to fourteen gallons of
water, fourteen pounds of loaf sugar
and four ounces of root ginger well
pounded; then boil all one hour; add
the whites of eight eggs, beaten to a
fro;h, and skim carefully. Now strain
the liquor into an earthen jar, let ii
stand until cold, then put it into cask,
adding the strained juice of fourteen
lemons, with their peel cut in thin
slices; add half spoonful of ale yeast
on the top. Keep the cask closely
corked for two weeks. Then put the
beer into bottles, and in another fort
night it WILL be fit for use. Second
method: To four pounds of sugar add
four ounces of ginger, two ounces OF
cream of tartar and four lemons put
all into an earthen jar, and pour over
it six gallons of boiling water, and
when milk warm put in little yeast
Let it stand all night to work, bottle il
the next day, and in three days it viii
be ready for drinking.-Good House

Safer Than a Street.

Notwithstanding all the peril from
fog and ice, and from the fury of cy-
clones and hurricanes, the steamers of
the transatlantic lines are so staunchly
built and so capably handled that
man is less likely to meet with acct
dents on board of one of them than he
would be in walking the streets of
crowded city. Never before have so
many passengers been carried as are
carried now. The ships that were re-
garded as leviathans fifteen or sixteen
years ago are as yachts compared with
more recent additions to the various
fleets. Scarcely more than ten years have
elapsed since sixteen knots was the
maximum speed; now it is twenty
knots, with the certainty of an almost
immediate increase to twenty-one or
twenty-five knots. The tonnage has
been increased within the same period
from maximum of five thousand to
ten thousand five hundred, and while
ten years ago two hundred cabin pas
sengers were as many as any steamer
could accommodate with reasonable
degree of comfort on one voyage, it is
not uncommon now to find over five
hundred as the complement of one
steamer. When steamers of sixteen
and seventeen knots were built, it was
said that they were too large and too
fast, and that they would surely come
to grief, but experience has proved
them to be as safe as any. In fact,
those who are best qualified to know
declare that the augmentation of speed
promotes safety William II. Rideinq,

any other part of the country to find a
citizen who has not held office who has
any knowledge of such forms and OBJ
servances. In New England there is
not voter who may not, and very few
voters who do not, actively participate
in the work of government. In the
other parts of the country barely any
one takes part IN public affairs except
the oflice-holder. The effect of this is
precisely what may be anticipated. The

GOOD LooKs.-Good looks are more
than skin deep, depending upon
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver be inactive you have
a bilious look, if your stomach be dis
ordered you have dyspeptic look, and
if your kidneys be affected you have
pinched look. Secure good health and
you will have good looks. Electric Bit

roads is yet to be seriously considered
in this country. We excel the world,

found only in half civilized foreign
countries.
