Boston merchants are expressing a de-
sire, notes the New York Post, to have
the Government print an issue OF frac-
tional scrip currency to facilitate bust
ness transactions on a small basis. They
complain that they are compelled to
handle at a loss great numbers of postage
stamps which are received in the mails
in payment for goods purchased. And
they all think that the charge for money
orders is exhorbitant where small sums
are involved. One prominent firm says
that it recently had on hand $500 worth
of stamps which it could not dispose of.
Mr.. Lee, of the publishing firm of Lee g
Shepard, says that he often receives as
much as $50 a day in postage-stamps,
and it is impossible to work them off.
He suggests that the Government issue
the scrip on a silver basis. Other bust.
aess men say that a return to the old
fractional paper currency would be a
great convenience to themselves and
their customers.

HnH d Russia Ii Peasant Dies.

Count Leo Tolstoi described thus
recently to Octave Houdaille, who visited
him at Jasnaja-Pojana, how . Russian
peasant dies:
ttDeath is dark and terrible on the
the canvas of the painter, but here in
this country it is almost . picture Of
mirth. I just came from q PEASANTS
deathbed. The man knew that he must
die and his pam lasted several days, Jet
not once did his serenity of soul leave
him. When death was quite near, and,
as is custonary, q Waxed taper was placed
ii his hand, his face assumed an express
sion Of unutterable happiness. It eens
strange to me that after such q scene
that / have felt so little emotion. Aside
from ali religious feeling, death Is for
these people q release from trouble;
therefore, aIl absence of the cloud Of
sorrow seen elsewhere. It IS the peace,
the slulnber which the peasant has
longed for ia the depth Of his misery,
and tie sorrow Of living Is over.

to secure the gold, he lowered

aThe Settlement Of the Germans in
Western MARYLAND was the subject Of a
lecture recently delivered by Louis p.
Hennighausen before the German His.
torical Society of Baltimore. Maryland,
he said, was an insignificant colony be-
fore German immigration set in. As early
as 1880 the German settlers had converted
the wilderness of Frederick County
into a blooming garden, and BY 1890
had made it the largest wheat producing
county in the United States. They began
to arrive in large numbers in 1888, and
in fifteen years thereafter the population
of Maryland rose from less than $4,000
to 1870, 900. In 1884 the first German
church in Maryland was erected, on the
west side Of the Monocacy, at the cross
ing of the Virginia road, about ten miles
above the site Of Fredericktown. 1t was
Of the Lutheran denomination. One Of
the Germans Of that time ssas Thomas
Schley, an ancestor Of Captain schley,
the Commander Of the United States
cruiser Baltimore. Conogocheague was
the first settlement in Washington
County. One Of its citizens was Jonathan
Hager, the founder of Hagerstown. An~
other family bore the name of Pohs.
from whom descended the Maryland
Poes. In the French and Indian wars
the settlers of Conogocheague Tell vic
TINS to the fury of the Indians, few es-
Gaping. The war for independence was
very popular among the Germans Of
Maryland, and it said there was hardly q
Tory among them. The feeling had its
origin in the obligation to contribute to
the support Of the Church Of England
established in the colonies, the Germans
maintaining their own schools and
churches at great expense.

The English horticultural Times con
tinues It's assaults upon the American
apple, and Is growing holder in its as
aertions. In q recent number it says
that sit is admitted that the American
apple-growers are compelled to depend
upon the use OF arsenic in solution as an
insecticide III their orchards. that this
lnsectieide Is used upon the fruit itself
untilit is completely saturated, that it
Is applied to the fruit several times be-
fore it arrives at maturity, aud, il the
weather continues dry, the arsenic clings
TO the fruit, and what is not absorbed
through the skin remains on it, forming
d fine coating: which must evidently be
detrimental to health, especially where
the fruit is consumed to any extent"
a little further on it remarks: aThe
best three sorts 3f apples as regards
quality that are put upon the English
markets are those raised at home and
those consigned By the Tasmanian and
American growers. Our own take the
lead, and the others 10 the order as
signed them above. Now, Il We compare
the three together, we find a delicate
tint about the American fruit which is
not to be found upon either Of the others.
