WASHINGTON, August "A statement has
been prepared at the Treasury department in
regard TO the amounts Of money in crcula-
tion on the lst day of July of the years lAi0
1865. 1885, 1889. from which it tappearS that the
assertion that there has been since the war q
great reduction of the amount Of money in
circulation is without foundation. The state
ment Is as follows:
"All statements furnished are made upon
precisely the same basis. The amount OF
each kind Of money in this country is first
started from that is deducted the amount in
the Treasury and the remainder given the
amount in circulation; There Is nothing
omitted from the statement which should
appear there except minor coins (nickles and
pennies) and they are left out OF all reports
because of the difficulty in estimating amount
OF them in use. AS the amount at the pres
ent time is certainly greater than in earlier
years, their omission will not be uutavofably
criticised by those who contend that there is
now scarcity'of money. The omount OF
money in circulation in lsCO was about SID
O0O,0O0, and the amount per capita was Sl3.S5.
amount was S20.92. Twenty years later the
circulation was over 81 ,292 100000. and the per
capita was 1872 while on the LIST of January
last the amount was nearly 81 l,5290UO,000 with
S24. 10 as the per capita allowance. The high
est in the history OF the United States. Ow-
ing TO shipments of gold In foreign countries
there has been decrease since January |,
1891 not only in the per capita amount, but
the total circulation on the lst inst, notwith-
standing the outflow Of gold was Sl.5OO,OOO, ,OOO
and the amount per capita was S23.O7."
She limited States Treasurer continues
daily shipments Of small notes to the West
for use in moving crops. The total amount
sent so far is 81 100000.
Pension payments aggrcgating seven and
a half million dollars have been made by the
United States Treasurer since the lst inst.
and have reduced the cash balance form So,
7S3,7l5 to S4S,277,i43. OF this latter amount
$40, $50, ,l6i is in national banks, and Sl9,$i2,
447 is in subsidiary coin. The pension money
was distribured in New York, Philadelphia
Topeka, indianapolis, Knoxville and Louis
vile.

"Eli Perkins," who was lately max.
ing observations in Iowa, was Inter.
viewedn as he was passing through
Sioux City. He had been at Ackley
the day before for the first time in nine
years. Nine years ago it had seven
teen saloons, and the banks and far
mers sent S25, 900 to the East annually,
to pay interest on farm mortgages.
Now he found no saloon or sign of a
saloon, and a banker told him that
they sent only S2,5OO East during
the last year to pay interest on farm
mortgages. Not a policeman there
now, and not q pauper in the poor
house nor criminal in the Jail. The
only bankruptcy there had been in
Ackley is the bankruptcy of the poor
house. Poor old poor house! 1t had
given up business, and the Jail is full OF
cobwebs EYES," declared Eli, ITEM
perauce has hurt the poor house
and Jail in Ackley. 1t has ruined
these institutions"
The liquor organs are greatly shock
ed because the Missouri crusaders
smashed in a few saloons. They have
nothing to say about the thousand
happy homes in the land that are
smashed every year by the saloonkeep-
ers.

promise of becoming the phenomenal
city of the South'' is fact to encour-
age prohibition economists. The sale
of the East Tennessee Land Company
at Hartman, bought together 4, 1000 peo-
pie. AS surveyed, it embraces $500

The land company is composed of

Unavailing regret, cherished sorrow
and remOrse, are, next to sin, the
greatest hinderances to usefulness.
Nay, to brood continually over a sin
or sorrow until ambition is unwinged
and noble purposes shorn of their
strength is itself sim. The divine
Fathers will concerning his children
is manifestly that they shall be useful
and happy. Whatever interferes
with this purpose is wrong-a sin.
The morbidly sorrowful and remorse-
full man mars his usefulness. To be
happy, therefore, is duty,-Cumber-

Among the curiosities in possession
of the West Virginia Historical and
Antiquarian Society is an ancient doc
ument purportiug to be the death war
rant of Jesus Christ. Itwas engraved
on plate of brass and found by
French Commissioners of Art while
eXcavating the city of Aquilla, in the
kingdom of Naples. 1t is written in
Hebrew and translated by the French
Commissioners of Art of the French
armies. On the reverse side of the cop
per plate from that on which the death
sentence was written are the words:
"Similar plate is sent to each tribe".
AS the Romans were careful to record
the official acts of the emperor and
governors of provinces, it is possible
that this death sentence is genuine

The government rain makers are in
Western Kansas and have with them
three score balloons, each 10 feet in
diameter when expanded; likewise
about 100 kites, five feet high, a
freight car full of wooden mortars to
fire bombs from, and many thousands
of pounds of dynamite, gun-powder,
nitro-glycerine and other powerful
agents. An artificial line of battle
will be formed across an excessively
dry plain and a heavy bombardment
will be kept up for two or three days.
The balloons are to be exploded in mid
air, the kites sent up with dynamite
cartridges to their tails, and mean
while the mortars will maintain fusi-
lade similar to that of a regular battle.
The result will be awaited with some
impatience.

DR.. Adametz, Swiss scholar, has
been taking a census of the inhabi-
tants of cheese. The microscopic ex-
animation of one ''gram" of fresh
Emmenthaler cheese, such as is sold
in England under the name of Gruyere,
contains no fewer than $4,000 so called
microbes. This prodigious encamp
ment, after seventy days, proved to
have increased to a tribe Of 800, 900:
Another sort of cheese contained
within single gram board and lodg-
ing for about 100000 microbes, while
in "gram" cut from the rind of the
cheese DR.. Adametz found about
5, 900, 900 of these inhabitants. A piece
of cheese upon our tables, of few
pounds weight, may consequently y
contain more microbe inhabitants
than there are human inhabitants
in the whole world. These facts are
interesting, if not pleasing.

The Salvation Army has been in ex
istence just 13 years. 1t had its ori'
gin in q sensational way in the English
town of Whitby, in the rough coal
mining district of Yorkshire, where
Gen. Booth, at that time the Rev
William Booth, was doing humble
mission work. England was then in
arms, expecting to jump into the
RussO-Turkish war. 1t occurred to
Booth that he might attract crowd by
issuing a declaration of war himself,
10 he prepared one forthwith, sprinkled
it plentifully with hallelujahs and post
ed 1000 copies of it about the town.
The device tickled the British sense
of humor, there was "red-hot, rous-
ing meeting" to quote Gen. Booth,
"the penitents fell down in heaps" and
the Salvation Army sprang into life
full grown.

WHY POPCORN WoN'T PoP.-The
question is often asked why popcorn
sometimes fails at the critical moment
to pop. The trouble is that the corn
has either been pulled too green or has
become too dry; explains the Califor-
MIA Fruit Grower. In the former case
the skin would be too tender to retain
the heated air until the explosion took
place, aud i'm the later case the skin IS
so brittle that the air escapes without
bursting the kernel. If the corn is too
dry, which is most frequently the
trouble, immerse the .unshelled ears
q half minute in water and the grains
will pop with a delightful eXuberance.
The Pope has announced his inten-
ton to support the French Republic,
not that the Republic needs hissupport,
for it has lasted twenty years, much
of the time against the wish and in
spite of the opposition of the Vatican,
but finding that it is likely to contin-
ue, the Vatican wishes it understood
that the church is on the side of popua
lar government.

The School Book Question.

Two yeais ago Sept. 25, lSSS,) the
County Board of Examiners, i'll ac-
cordance with a resolution passed by
the State Board. met and adopted q
list of text books to be used in the
schools of Newberry County. Before
this, each teacher selecting such books
as suited him best. Ofcourse this made
school books expensive, as our teacher
would often choose books different
from those used by his predecessor.
Since the adoption of books by the
County Board, there has been a change
and now in nearly all the schools OF
the county the same series of books are
in use. 1t has taken some work tc
make the change and has given teach,
ers trouble, but the results are entirely
satisfactory.
These books cannot he changed foi
five years from the time they were
adopted, and perhaps when the time
has expired thesa books will be Sc
lccted for five years more.
Webster's Elementary Speller has
been in use for more than half cen
tury, but it has served its time and
must go. Two years ago this book was
in great many of our schools, but no"
tits not often that We find it. Swim
tons books have taken its place. AL
though the elementary" may be dis
carded now, and doubtless rightly, yet
we must say that it has done more tc
advance correct spelling and proper
pronunciation than any other book
ever used il the schools Of our county
We doubt very much whether there
will ever be another school book pub
lished that will hold sway for fifty
years.
