HOARDS OF RUPEES.

The Accumulated Wealth of indian RAJ
jahs Is Beginning to Circulate.
The ancient Oriental passion of hoard
! ing appears from an article on the cir
culation of the rupee in the Economic
Journal to be gradually disappearing,
and is now believed to be mainly con-
| fined to the old wealthy families and
princes.
The original cause, fear of civil tu-
multi, has passed away, and the pres
ence of an increasing market for in
vestment, the sweet simplicity of the
four per cents, or family misfortunes,
ing the family vault. Notable instances
of the dissipation of large boards have
occurred in recent years.
The Maharaja of Gwalior, a Mahratta
chief, lent the government upward OF
thirty million rupees, of which all but
three million were in native coin.
The Maharaja of Burdwan's accumu-
lation principally of sicca rupees) has
| disappeared in litigation and invest
ment, and recently large boards of Ar
cot rupees from Madras, and Chill1i
rupees from hdSnnlr, nave passed into
English mints.
| In Bengal several considerable boards
of sicca rupees have been found to ex-

on the occasion of their property pass.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-This is a

" Exchanges in En- giish Journals.

A peculiar feature of the English
woman's journals is the exchange
column, wherein the woman who has a
'ssilver fox mu1f, boa and Medici col
lar" and on account of going into
mourning desires to exchange it for a
Persian lamb collar and muff, makes it
manifest. One lady offers in this col
umn lovely Persian kitten; exchange
to the value of one pound; honey want
ed" Another offers to exchange a pair
of exquisite Dresden china candelabra
for anything useful, Magazines and
reviews are also proffered in exchange
for other magazines and books. The
woman who is tired of her parrot will
give it in exchange for the pug that
some other woman is equally tired Of
petting. Plants are offered to obtain
poultry in return, and everything but
husbands and deformities are adver

Good Looking ROYALTY.

The late Dowager Duchess Louisa, of
Bavaria, widow of Duke Maximil-
ian, was renowned as the mother of five
daughters, all famous for their beauty
and accomplishments. The Cinderella
of the family was Duchess Eliza
beth, now empress Of Austria. She was
a madcap maiden, not to say tomboy,
and the emperor saw her for the first
time when he came to betroth himself
to an elder sister, the beautiful Duchess
Helen, who at her death few years
ago was accounted the handsomest and
most intellectual woman in Europe.
But the emperor fell in love with Eliza
beth at sight, and few months later
she entered Vienna in state as empress
of Austria and queen of Hungary.

Changing Their Constitution.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 1.-THE con-

day spent the forenoon session in the.
discussion of minor changes in the con-
stitution and bylaws. The election
will probably take place to-day. There
is no apparent dissatisfaction with any
of the present officers. Grand Secre-
tary and Treasurer Debs, who has been
in office long time, has indicated that
he desires to retire, but the temper Of
the delegates is to re-elect him in spite
of his wishes

Homestead Mills Not Doing Much.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Sept. 17.-Eighteen
workmen from Philadelphia arrived at
Homestead this morning and were put
at work in the mills. Under cover OF
darkness last night a large number Of
Hungarians held meeting on the
river bank near the mill yard. They
were addressed by representatives of
the Carnegie Steel company and it is
said they voted to return to work by
the end of next week. 1t is generally
considered by friends of the strikers
that the efforts being made by the firm
to induce this class of men to return
to work is an indication of weaken
ing on the part of the company. There
is not nearly SO much work being done
IN the mills to-day, and the officials Of
the company refuse to talk to report
ers on the situation or give a reason
for the evident inactivity.

Horses Acute Hearing,

1t is well known that horses can hear
deep sounds which we cannot. For days
previous to the earthquake in the
Riviera the horses there showed every
symptom of abject fear, which contin-
ued without any change of character
till the fury of the CONFUSION broke
forth But not till a few seconds before
the earth began to quake did human
beings hear any sounds, while it is ea-
tremely probable that the horses heard
the subterranean noises for two or
three days previously.

Rummaging in a Queens Wardrobe

What delightful day one could spend
rummaging in the great cabinets at
Windsor castle, where are stored away
all the gowns that Queen Victoria ever
wore. For the queens robes are
never sold or given away, de-
spite the energetic attempts which have
been made from time to time to induce
the attendants to part with some of
these thousands of gowns, which their
wearer has probably forgotten that she
ever possessed. The coronation robes,
bridal gowns, respondent garments of
stately fete and royal ceremonial, worn
in the old days before the magnifcence
of queenliness was forgotten in the sor-
row of widowhood, what will become
of these relics when the long reign is
ended and the enormous cabinets are
made ready for the new queens ar
rival?

tramped upon and in many instances
broken, just as frequently as is agree
able. Indeed, the point of comfort and
endurance was passed some time ago.
Lately one of us hit on the idea of wear
ing a big wooden shoe on the foot
nearest the door, which is the one that
always gets stepped on. 1t works like
a charm. No other shoe that's made
could possibly give us the necessary
protection. People may step on that
and fall over and onto it as often as
they please, and where we used to grind
our teeth in pain we now smile and
keep comfortable. It's not generally
known, but from two to ten elevator
men in this city have a toe or two
broken and mangled every day by peo-
pie tramping ON them. But our millen-
mum has come in the big wooden shoe -

Soda to be Mined

The Derrick says of the work of devei
oping the S~weetwater soda lakes: "Messrs
John Weir. G. B. Wait and W. Trainer
of New York, Chester B. Bradley Of
Chicago and Charles 81. Kelsey Of Denver
came in on the Elkhorn last night and
went out to the S%weetwater soda lakes
today. They are interested in the devel-
opment OF these soda lakes with John D.
Nesus. Mr.. Ne9us is already on the
ground with a crew of men and hopes to
have the plant in operation by April l.
There is every reason to think that this Is
no wild cat scheme of any kind. The
machinery is OF the very best. The
crusher has a capacity of 200 tons a day
and is of the latest model. The Syndi-
cate improvement company is not selling
town lots but doing work. 1t the plant
Is successful, we understand that it is the
Intention of the COMPANY to put in manu-
Victories for the consumption of the soda
at the lakes"
