ORDERS FOR 10000 CARS.
The Result of the Freight Blockade ON the
Railroads.

Railroads.
Joseph D. Weeks went to New York last
evening. He thinks the defeat of Mills for
the speakership has partially restored the
confde zee of manufacturers. 1t is taken as
an indic.tion that no radical changes will
be made IL the tariff. He believes Crisp
will follow Randal:'s policy, and special
bills modifying some feature of the McKin-
ley law will be passed
The outlook for the iron business is good.
A large numbe. of sales have been made
recently. The freight blockage on the rail-
roads has resulted in orders for 10000 cars
in the last thre. weeks Contracts for 600,-
900 tons of steel rails have been distributed
among the mills. and Mr.. Weeks thinks
these signs are hopeful. 1t will require a
great deal of iron to make the freight cars,
and ths; will help the industry. The stock
of pig iron piled up in the valleys is moth
ing unusual, and is not as large as the sur-
plus in former years.

No Appeal to be Taken.

County Controller Grier has decided,
after consideration, not. to appeal the
salary increase case to the Supreme Court.
He will, however, refuse to accept the
extra 81, 900 per year which he could secure
for himself. 1t is felt that an appeal
would be useless, as there is no reason to
believe that the lower courts view of the
case would not be sustained.

A Memory Contest.

The game here described sharpens the
wits and induces habits of observation
The Home Queen tells how to play it. Eet
table be prepared in an adjoining room
or in a hail. with number of small arti-
cles placed upon it-books, pocket knives,
cards, ornaments, knitting needles, pens
and pencils-all the paraphernalia that
goes to make up the living room. Let the
players pass into the room, one by one,
slowly and taking good look at the table
and its contents; then let them pass into
the other room, and, in five minutes, write
down the names of all the things that they
can remember The person who has charge
calls "Time" and then each one tells how
many things he has remembered. After
that each one reads the list, and amuse-
ment and amazement are the result. One
person will remember something that no
one. else noticed, while almost every one
will have been struck with some one thing,
and include that in his or her list.
Care should be taken that only familiar
objects should be used, and not less than
twenty five articles should be shown. No
one, to my knowledge, has ever remember
ed more than twenty or twenty-five, while
the majority remember even less.

Cash of the Early Ancients.

The familiar little brass cash, with the
square hole for stringing them together on
thread in the center, we'll known to the
frequenters of minor provincial museums,
are, strange to say, the lineal descendants,
in unbroken order, of the bronze ak of re-
mote Celestial ancestors. From the regu-
lar hatchet to the modern coin one can
trace distinct, If somewhat broken sue
cession, so that it isimpossible to say where
the one leaves Off and the other begins
where the implement merges into the me
dium OF exchange and settles down finally
into the root OF all evil. Here is how this
curious pedigree first worked itself out.
In early times, before coin was Invented,
barter was usually conducted between pro
ducer and consumer with metal imple.
