TREASURY uoNDrr1oN 1Mpnovrse
An Encouraging Sign is the increase of tn Q
Gold Reserve.

Gold Reserve.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The Treasury
situation as the month draws to a close
shows signs Of improvements. Tho re-
ceipts still lag behind those OF last
October, but pension payments are
beginning to show substantial de-
crease, and for this month will not
probably exceed S11 900. 900.
With the interest which was paid
October taken out Of the cash the net
excess of expenditures over receipts for
the month will probably not be more
than Sc, 100000, or about $a6,000,O00 in
each Of the receipts for the first four
months Of the fiscal year.
An encouraging sign Is the increase
OF the gold reserve, which o-day stands
nearly $4,000. 600. This increase has
been brought about, not by increased
gold payments on account of customs,
but by the less gold being paid out in
the ordinary course of Treasury bust.
ness.
This has been made possible by the
fact that the Treasury by working an
extra force over hours has caught up to
some slight extent with the accumu-
lated paper currency awaiting redeme-
ton.
The amount thus tied up has now
been made available and has been paid
out where, had 1t not been on hand,
gold would have been used to meet con-
current expenses.
1t is believed that the redemptions
will keep ahead OF the needs for cur.
rency and thus give the gold reserve an
opportunity to strengthen itself.

The smorgasbord consists of a side
table furnished with bits of fish, ham,
meat and other things The fish is
nearly sure to be raw. You may eat it
in morsels with hardboiled eggs or
with oat cake or bread. There are also
butter and cheese and pickles and you
are supposed to vary the entertainment
with one or two glasses of corn brandy
"a very different spirit to cognac-
which may be contained in vessels like
tea urns. with taps needing to be
turned, The Swedes use the smorgas-
bord as a whet for dinner or supper.
Anglo-SaXons at first acquaintance are
prone TO imagine that ii is all the meal.
In this matter have heard a gentle
waitress reproach a countryman of
mine theoretically in a way that ought
to have staggered his heart. The igno-
rant gentleman went from one little
dish to another and like swarm of
locusts, left nothing in his tracks. He
also tossed off the thimblefuls of corn

about the noise, although he made no

The interior of the old building is in

that he had often heard the story.

Divided Opinion as to the Mysterious
Sounds Heard in the Alamo.
There is a legend among the Next
cans that when it rains and the wind
howls wildly around the old Alamo
building at San Antonio, where, in 1886,
so many brave and patriotic Texans
were butchered by Santa Ana's SOL
diers, the ghosts of the departed heroes,
or some of them, notably those of Davy
Crockett, Bowie and Travis, arise and
stalk about the old building with the
measured tread of heavily armed and
booted men on guard. These old
stories have been heard for years, but
nobody. except the Mexicans, has ever
believed that there was anything but
superstition in them, but since the old
building has been dignifed. or undigni-
fed, by the use of the small new part
on the side, which has been built in
since the famous fight, as police sta
ton, some startling statements have
been made with regard to the ghostly
perambulations of the shades of the
heroes. if it is the shades of those gen
tlemen which are responsible for the
alleged goings on. That part OF
the building where the police sta
ton is located is on the side of
the low main building and fills
up what was hollow space with
window where the Mexicans finally
broke in and slaughtered the defenders
The window is not very big. but has
double iron bars. and the wall through
which il is cut is perhaps five feet thick.
This opens directly from the room
where the two mounted officers who
are detailed at the station sit Adjoin-
ing this room is small celiroom,
which has been used for some time, and
since the police station has been
opened stories have been circulated to
the effect that some prisoners who
were confined there at various times
have complained of strange noises in
the main building, and alySays on dark,
rainy nights They heard walking
and the rafting of muskets and chains
The two policemen. who are as brave
as policemen usually are also insist
that they have heard very strange

MIND AND MOTION.
The Force OF an Idea and It's Accompany
ing Motive Impulse.

The Force OF an Idea and It's Accompany
ing Motive Impulse.
Che vreuls well-known experiments
with the exploratory pendulum and the
Givining rod show that, if we represent
= to ourselves a motion in any direction,
the hand will unconsciously realize it
and communicate it to the pendulum.
The tipping table realizes a movement
we are anticipating, through the inter-
vention OF 4 real movement of the
hands, of which we are not conscious.
Mind-reading, by those who divine by
taking your hand where you have hid
den anything, is reading of imper-
ceptible motions by which your thought
is translated without your being con-
scious of them. In cases of fascination
and vertigo, which are more visible
among children than among adults,
movement is begun the sus-
pension of which is prevented by
paralysis of the will, and it
carries us on to suffering and death.
When a child. | was navigating plank
on the river without a thought that I
might fall. All at once the idea came
like diverging force, projecting itself
across the rectilinear thought which
- had alone previously directed my ac-
ton. 1t was as if an invisible arm
seized me and drew me down. ! cried
out, and continued staggering over the
whirling waters till help came to me.
The mere thought of vertigo provoked
it. The board lying on the ground sug-
gests no thought of a fall when You
walk over it; but when it is over a
precipice and the eye takes the measure
of the distance to the bottom, the rep
resentation of falling motion becomes
intense, and the impulse to fall corre-
spondingly so. Even if you are safe,
there may still be what is called the
attraction of the abyss. The vision of
the gulf is fixed idea, having pro-
duced an inhibition" on all your ideas
and forces, nothing is left but the figure
of the great hole, with the intoXication
of the rapid movement that begins in
and tends to turn the scales of the men
tai balance. Temptation, which is con-
tinual in children because ever ything
is new to them, is nothing else than
the force of an idea and the IN olive inn
pulse that accompanies it.-Alfred
Eouillee, in Popular Science Monthly.
