NATIONAL TREASURY.

An Offer to Extend the -Four and n Half
Bonds at One and HaIf-The Treasury
Well suPPued-The Circulation.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Notice has
been given by Secretary Foster that the
principal and accrued interest of the =
per cent bonds issued under the acts of
j uly "a, 1870, and January 20, 1871, out
standing SePtemb Der ?, 1891, will be paid
at the treasury OF the United States on
that day, and that the interest on the
bonds will then cease Suggestions
have been made on the part of the hold
ers of some OF these bonds of a
desire to extend the payments at the
option Of the United States at the rate
of ~ per cent per annum, and the
secretary of the treasury will hereafter
consider whether the acceptance of
such offers of them will be profitable to
the government and in that event re-
serves the right to except such bonds
from this call
It is OH ciaIly stated that the sugges-
tiOns as to the extension of the 4 y per
cent loan added to the call made to-
day is made more as a N after of prece-
deuce than of necessity. The treasury
department, it is said, is abundantly able
to pay all of the S5I, 900, 900 3 per cents
outstanding, but in view of the uncer-
tainty OF future receipts and expendi-
lures 1t is judged better to take the side
Of safety. The secretary not only be-
fray all the expenses OF the govern
uent, but is confident that he will be
able to retire considerable amount of
the public dobt IN addition to the $780,
600, 900 already paid during the present
administration One of the purposes
in suggesting an opportunity to extend
the maturing loan at nominal rate of
interest is the desire TO avoid the en-
forced retirement Of a part or all Of the
S23, 600. 900 national bank circulation
now secured by the ~ per cent honda
During the month of May there was
a net decrease in the circulation of S25,-

In China there is a root called Khe-

In Manchuria the same root, under

are bought only by mandarins, priests

in Stage harbor, Chatham, near the old
wharf, containing business card Of Mr.
Ring, wholesale jeweler, Detroit,
Mich, with statement, in pencil on the
blank side, of disaster to the boat and
probable loss of the crew, and signed by
Mr.. Ring. MI. J. H. Howell Of the
Standard Oil company, Jersey City, was
in the Chatham Monitor Office, where
the bottle was deposited, and as he was
going direct to Detroit opened the bot
and took the card to Mr.. Ring to see il
there was any meaning in the writing.
Mr.. Ring was found to be still alive. He
was slow to believe that this card came
from Cape Cod until convinced that it
was the truth.
Mr.. Ring says that on the 25th of May
he and others were out fishing on the
Detroit river, and in a spirit of fun
wrote the message, inclosed it in bot
tie and cast it to the waves. To get to
Chatham it had to travel the length of

An Organ Grinders Sparrins Combinati on
An organ grinder who has been in this
city for a month has scheme which is
making him small fortune.
Instead Of the customary one monkey
this industrious son of Italy carries two.
When he stops tho ordinary tricks Of
climbing and begging are dispensed
with, the monkeys are set to fighting and
bets are made by the owner with any Of
the spectators who are so inclined as to
which monkey will win. .sy.<
The owners bets are freely taken, and
they rarely go against him. The result
is that where, under the old method, he
would probably receive few nickels he
now receives dollars.
A reporter watched the man with the
monkeys for nearly an hour in front of
the new city hall. where he was sur
rounded by large crowd, who were
freely contributing their quarters, halls
and dollars to the Golfers of the musi-
cian.-San Francisco Chronicle.

his success. He rode ten miles into the
country and found his debtor in the hay
field just about to pitch on load Of hay.
''The money is up to the house." ex-
planned the farmer, land I'll get it just
as soon as I get in this load Of hay. Do
you mind getting on and building the
load?' The Gardiner man got on and
when he reached the barn he found the
lady of the house, who had charge of the
money, out blueberrying. So he stayed
and built another load and then got his
money. Some folks think he had earned
it.-Kennebec (Me.) Reporter

Hysteria and Hypuotism.

At the recent meeting of the French
Society of Hypnology in Paris DIR. Beril-
lon astonished his hearers by stating that
almost all children could be hypnotized
except those who were idiotic or hyster-
ical. The idea that there is any connec-
ton between hysteria and hypnotism
was strongly disputed. One physician
alleged that he had hypnotized sixty
nine patients out of seventy-two under
his care for various diseases in a hospi-
tai. and said it was absurd to believe
that so large a proportion could be hys-
terical.-Exchange

a Petrified Horse Found.

There was recently taken from small
creek near Springtown, L T., a genuine
curiosity in the shape of petrifed horse,
which had beyond doubt been lying in
the bed of the stream for many years.
The creek, which is kEcwn as Mason's
Ford, has been dwinding away for some
time, owing to the failure of the springs
by which it is fed, and it is now but a
shallow rivulet, and mum Der of Indian
relics, human bones etc. have been
taken from its bed.
The horse was nearly covered by de-
post of sand and loose limestone, and
was discovered only by chance. some
boys wading in the creek catching sight
OF portion of one leg Examining this.
it was found to have turned entirely to
stone, which led to the whole being dug
ont and carried to shore. The horse, a
large. white one, seems to be the work
Of cunning sculptor. so completely has
the petrifaction been, even the hairs of
the name and tail being converted into
stone.
In the neck and piercing one of the
largest veins is an arrow, in all probabil-
lty the cause of it's death, and which
probably struck it as it stood on the
banks Of the creek. into which it rolled
in its death agony. It's sides still show
the marks Of q saddle and its hanks are
cut as by sp7rs used with desperation,
but no brand or other mark gives clew
to it's rider.
In removing it from the stream one
hoof was unfortunately broken off, but
with this exception it IS perfect. It is
now on exhibition in Stringtown, but ia
shortly to be presented to the Smithso-
nlan Institution. though several agents
for dime museums have endeavored to
secure it for their enterprises. -Cincin-

Electricity and Ice Cream Poisoning.
A new experience of the danger Of
electricity has to be recorded. DR..
George S. Hull recently conducted some
experiments with ice cream freezers,
and he finds that galvanic action takes
place, which results in the introduction
of poisonous salts Of copper and zinc
into the cream. It appears that the
freezer and the paddle are generally
made Of dissimilar metals, and the
cream. especially if mixed with fruits or
other acids or even saline substances,
forms an electrotyte, which naturally
completes the necessary conditions for
galvanic action.
With galvanic action there is, Of
course. chemical action, resulting in
the formation of salts Of zinc and COP
per, which become mixed with the
cream. DR.. Hull has probably discov-
cred the cause of many mysterious cases
of poisoning which have followed the
consumption of ice cream. The remedy,
however, seems very simple; if the
freezer and the mixer were made of the
same metal. no galvanic action could
take place.-lron.
