CARRYING Uncle Snm,s Cash.

Closely akin to the short shipment of
gold from the strong boxes of Wall
street to the nearby steamers is the pas
sage to and fro of valuables for the Gov
ernment over the country. There is no
official carriage provided, but instead
the Government depends upon the appli.
ances of a private express company. For
twenty-five years Adams Express Com
pany had the monopoly of the landing
of Uncle Sans cash from one pocket to
another, so to speak. There are the sew
eral mints and the several sub treasures
always swapping gold and silver either
in coin or bars. Twenty-Five cents per
thousand dollars handled was the price
which the Adams Express Company re-
ceived for years, but the United States
Express came in recently with bid of
fifteen cents per thousand dollars and
now has the contract. Mr.. Jordan, dur
ing his reign in the Treasury Department,
did some very lively hustling about of
com, sending millions across the conti-
nent from San Francisco to Washington
and New York, much to the surprise of
old Treasury officials. He did it, too,
in queer ways, and depended upon
secrecy for security. He came out with
out loss, but it made scme of the old
hands very uneasy. The present con-
tract with the United States Express
Company covers the transfer of all sorts
of securities, Of mutlated money, of
coin, ETC., between the Treasury Depart
ment and the National banks of the
country; with a bond of $780, 900 to
secure the Government. In the case of
the express company it must make good
all losses. 1t does not merely receipt
for such and such packages, but for their
contents as we'll, so that when, in re-
cent shipment from Grand Rapids, Mich,
batch of $1,000 was neatly extracted
from a package and wad of rags sub
stituted, the express company was
called upon to make good the deficiency.
1t arrested the thief but did not recover
the cash. h.--NelO York World.

The Yagaries Of YesuYIns.


The truth seems to be, says the Lon
don Standard, that VesuVius, like most
Of the order of mountains to which It
belongs, is in no way to be depended
upon. 1t is an example of the rselessness
Of the current classification of volcanoes
into extinct, quiescent, and active. There
was time when it would have been con-
fidently pronounced to be as extinct as
those of Auvergne, and when its long
silence might have at least justified the
appclletion of quiescent. Yet we know
that, if not continuously active-and in
reality no volcano is so--it bursts into a
fury Of ashes and lava and pumice- stone
so frequently that it is hard to say when
il will stop and when begin afresh. A
record of Che eruptions since 70 is a
varied catalogue of disasters. After the
giant paroxysm of that year it remained
for 1900 years in condition of such
feeble activity that, though many eyes
were naturally directed to it, it was re-
garded as having almost exhausted itself
Again the crater got overgrown with
vegetation, villages rose on its slopes
hunters tracked the wild boar to the
thickets which spread rank over the
spots once black with hard caked ashes,
aud herdsmen grazed their cattle on the
wide grassy plains which stretched close
to "the pit Of Tartarus." But at length,
after six months of earthquakes, always
increasing in intensity, the closed crater
again burst open and discharged stones
and dust with such vehemence that
some of the latter, shot into the upper
currents of the atmosphere, fell on the
housetops of Tripoli and Constantinople.
Far and near the pasty streams, akin to
those which overwhelmed Pompeii, ran
across the plains, until the villagers at
the base of the Apennines saw these SCR
pent-like messengers at their doors, and
for the first time in Its modern history
lava flowed west and south, and reached
the sea in many divided rivulets. So
swiftly did all this happen that, though
the inhabitants had been fully warned,
the loss Of life was estimated at from
5000 to $4,000. Bosco, Tore del Greco,
Resina and Portici were flooded by the
seven rivers of lava, though, as a rule,
the ashes settling, owing to the falling
rain, into the concrete known as "puz-
zolona" are the most characteristic of
the products of eruptions. Since 1881
there have been between sixty and sew
enty outbursts, 1766, 1867, 1879, 1894
aud 1922 being the years of the most
activity, though none of them equals the
two most memorable in the volcanoes
history. The lower slopes arc again
covered with the vineyards of Lacrima
Christi, that swine of ashes" celebrated
by Chiabrara as "al vim, to which "la
gente diede nome dolente" and the light
some Neapolitans drink, dance and are
merry as their ancestors were before the
cities of Campania perished. There is
for the moment no reason for believing
that their mirth is unwarranted, but we
repeat that Vesuvius is one of those
mountains on which it is dangerous to
calculate.

DelicateIy Tinted Lamb Chops.

"Now," said Mrs. Wilson, of the
West End, to her young lady daughter,
just home from boarding school, and
who was undertaking the marketing for
the first time, "don't let the marketmau
impose on you aud sell you mutton chops
for lamb chops. You can easily select
the one from the other, for lamb is much
more delicate in color than mutton"
81 would like three pounds of lamb
chops, it you please" said the young
lady, later, to the white-aproned, white
capped marketman, ''aud l would like
to have it very delicately tinted"
GLOW will this suit you, missl'
"a shade lighter, if you please"
"Eyidently, you're not of the fashion
able color" said the meat seller, after
the departure of the maiden, addressing
himself to the rejected mutton; "guess
I'll have to bleach you. But who ever

HalfDOllars Not POnnIar.

There is one unpopular coin issued by
Uncle Sam. 1t is the half dollar, aud il
has tendency to work its way back into
the Treasury vaults, whereit isn't wanted.
As money, nobody objects to the half,
but the popular fancy is for the same
value in another form. That is, the
average citizen prefers to have two
quarters. They are trihe IN )re con.
venient. If he wants to pay out half a
dollar he can use the half or the two
quarters with equal convenience, but il
twenty-five cents is to he paid out the
quarter is far the handler coin.
This may not seem to be very i'm
portant matter, but it counts in the long
run. Little by little the halves find their
way back to the Government vaults, and
there they stay, like poor relations. In
fact, so far rs coming home in disgrace
goes, the half dollar is the Prodigal Son
of the Mints.
A very large proportion of the $780,
600, 900 of fractional silver on hand at
Washington is made up of halves. This
is the lot which Secretary Foster was
so anxious to get rid of, and about which
he talked with the New York bankers
when he made his visit here. Nobody
then manifested any wild desire to take
the Secrctary's load off his shoulders.
1t is probable that good many of the
halves stored up in Washington will be
recOined into quarters and dimes. In
that way they will be more convenient
for popular use. Aud Mr.. Foster will
sleep more comfortably O. nights-which
will be a good thing and benefit all
around.
OF course, lots of halves are used aud
will continued to be used. Their coin
age will be kept up and nobody will have
any more difficulty in getting them than
Usual. But The proportion of other
coins will be increased because the peo.
pie like them better
The New York Treasury has its
share of halves on hand, and the other
day it tried to work off some of them.
1t was day when pension checks were
being paid, and nearly every one was
cashed partly in halves. Before the close
of the day good many of the halves
were back in the Sub Treasury. And
they are there yet.-NetO York. Times.

COlOred Beans.

The color of bean does not affect its
flavor or quality, except that in some
cases the color is held as a specially de.
sirable quality. The black beans are in
demand by the Italian residents of New
York, who use them for soup, and they
are commonly known as soup beans in
the market. The red kidney beans are
used by other foreigners, and, as the de-
mand is light and the supply limited, few
of them come to market, thus sometimes
causing the price to advance very con-
siderably. They are almost always worth
twenty-five per cent. more than the white
beans, and frequently more. They are
grown as other beans, and are both
dwarf varieties, ,-Nel9 Rork Times.

Another depressing prospect of doubt
and misunderstanding presents itself,
exclaims the Washington Star. A Chi
naman was arrested in New York for
passing a counterfeit note. But when it
came to question of identification, the
main witness was nonplussed by the fact
that large number of Chinemen had
the same facial peculiarities and could
not be distinguished. Here we are with
large population of people among
whom alibis may ut any tim9 grow like
grass in summer.

his mother to be disinterred for the pur-
pose of buryIng it in another spot, when
it was found that the coffin was com
pletely enwrapped with the strands OF
the lady's hair, even the grave being
filled with the silky masses, which had
to be cut through before the coffin could
be removed. Upon opening the coffin
the remains, with the exception of the
head, were found to have persisted, but
the scull was wonderfully preserved aud
even the skin intact, and from this had
grown a quantity Of hair such as no liy-
ing person could carry. The lady has
been dead nearly twenty years, aud at
the time of her decease her magnificent
suit of hair had been clipped short, 50

1t was not that of a popular leader, but
OF a ruler of great resources and despotic
will. Consequently when he fell from
power, and it was seen that there was no
interruption of the usual course of events,
that the situation was, in fact, unaf-
fected, there was no strong personal feel,

in opposition to the Government. 1t is
