The State nfwxnminr

Young America builds bigger than his
forefathers. Wyoming is not an excep-
tionally le-ge state, yet it is as big as the
six states of New England and Indiana
combined. Indiana itself is the size of Por-
tugal and is larger than Ireland 1t is with
more than ordinary curiosity that one ap-
proaches Wyoming during course of
study of the new western states. From the
palace cars of the railroad that carries a
tide of transcontinental travel across its
full length there is little to see but brown
bunch grass, and yet we know that on its
surface of 365 miles of length and 275 miles
of width are many mountain ranges and
noble river threaded valleys of such beauty
that great block OF the land is to be for.
ever preserved in It's present condition as
the Yellowstone National park. We know
that for years this had been a stockman's
paradise, the greatest seat of the cattle
industry north of Texas - the stamping
ground OF the picturesque cowboys who
had taken the place of the hunters who
came from the most distant points in
Europe to kill big game there
Owe know that in the mysterious depths
of this huge state the decline of its first
great activity was marked by a peculiar
disorder that necessitated the calling out
of troops. Bat that was flash in pan,
much exaggerated at distance and easily
quieted at the time For the rest, most
well Informed citizens outside the state
know nothing more than the misnaming of
the state implies, for the pretty Indian
word Wyoming, copying the name of a his
torlc locality III the east, is said to mean
plains land. "-Julian Ralph in Harper's

Snakes as Articles of Diet.

Italians, as is well known, are partial to
harmless snakes and have no objection to
eat them when cooked. \ fritura com
posed of the common wood serpent's flesh
is even regarded as a dainty by the lower
orders in Rome, Florence and Naples and
is often served up to them in their dingy
restaurants. Parisians of the inferior
classes are also great eaters of fried snakes,
but unwittingly so, for the reptiles are
palmed off on them as cells. Thus the ap-
parently appetizing dishes known as mate
lotte d'anguille and anguille a la tartare
are often in low eating houses nothing but
harmless snakes caught in the wilder part
of the Nincennes wood and brought up to
a special market near the Place de la Re
pubhque. 1t is probable, however, that
even if the members of the poorer classes
here who occasionally indulge in fried or
stewed eels were apprised of the fraud prac-
ticed at their expense they would evince
no lCathing nor even lack of appetite, see
ing that they are ready to devour not only
horseflesh, but meat of mule, donkey and
dog any day in the week-Paris Cor Lon

Evanescent and Eternal Humor.

"Humor is perception of facts in certain
relationships" Relationships are eternally
varying, human moods also vary, but some
passages of humor are eternal, others are
transient Thus 1t is said by some that Mr..
Pickwick is scarcely so funny as he once
was, but Falstaff has never ceased and can
never cease to be entertaining. Mr.. Pick
wick is more temporary, local and fantastic.
So far the humor that created and enioved
him was new humor, Falstaff is immor-
tally human. So 10 George Dandin or
Monsieur de Pourceaugnac The humor
which created them is not old or new, but

The Shell Mounds of Florida.

A ships officer, who has spent much
time on the st. Johns River, Florida,
thinks that he has solved the problem as
to the origin of the shell mounds that
occur along that stream. The river
twists about in an extraordinary way, so
that in many places the view along the
water extends for only few rods, but
be finds that tall object or the smoke
of fire shown from the top OF one Of
these mounds could be seen from those
next below and above, and he believes
that these eminences were Indian signal
stations, by means Of which the natives
were able to announce the approach OF a
hostile force along the river, as the
Greeks signalled the news of the fall of
Troy to their home cities by lights on
the mountain tops, that we're repeated
from peak to peak.

have been extensively counterfeIted in

have been extensively counterfeited in
all denominations---ones, twos, fives,
tens and twenties. or course, persons
who handle a great deal of money learn
to detect bad bills almost by intuition,
but poor people who do not handle much
money, are the greatest sufferers by coun-
terfeiters. Their chief protection is to
remember who pays them, and then to
trace counterseits to their source. Some
of the counterfeits of the silver certifi-
Gates are good enough to deceive the
best Judges. The worst one is that OF
the issue of 1882, which bears a portrait
of Hancock on its face.
ssHow can you tell bad bill2" is Of
ten innocently asked of men who handle
large sums of money. To tell bad
money requires great deal of expert
ence and skill. There are various ways
Of making bad bills. There is, for in
stance, National bank note in circula-
tion purporting to be two dollar note
of the National Union Bank of Linden
Park, N. Y. There is no such bank,
and the note is entirely fraudulent. 1t
resembles all other National bank notes
sufficiently to be taken by most people
without question. Indeed, few persons
notice what bank issues the bill they
receive, for all bills look very much alike.
The only way to detect fraudulent notes
with certainty IS to have list OF genu-
inc notes at hand for consultation.

A Timid Millionaire's Gold.

In one of his romances Alexand er Du.
mas tells of man who kept all his $ av-
ings In gold. When war broke out
in France and gold went to very high
premium, he exchanged all he had for
Government notes and thus acquired a
fortune. When the property left by the
late Wilson G.. Hunt was overhauled by
his executors they found 100000 in
gold coin. The purpose of the old mil
lionaire in keeping such large amount
OF money lying idle will probably never
be definitely known, as he did not
confde his design to anyone, but it is
supposed that he thought the unsettled
condition of the money market would
reduce gold to a premium, and he
determined to have stock of it on
hand. Henry Clews, the banker and
broker, who was one of Mr.. Hunts most
intimate friends, and was at one time
associated with him in business, was of
the opinion that Mr.. Hunts action was
inspired by fear.
ssMr. Hunt was an exceedingly timid
man." said Mr.. Clews. ssHis fortune
of five millions was the result of many
years of saving. and he never had suffi-
cient courage to venture into any scheme
that entailed even ordinary risk. Twice
during my association in business with
him he put all his money into gold, and
each time he did it because he feared
he would lose it. The first time was in
1857, when there was a panic, and the
other was just before the war. It
was really surprising that he should have
have made SO much money, but the most
of it came from saving. He retired in
1860 from the dry goods business with
fortune of S750,000. He was unmar-
ried, and lived with a niece at the
Clarendon Hotel for forty.6ve years to
my knowledge. His mode of living was
very inexpensive, and I doubt that he
spent over $4,000 year. Moneysinvestec
in good securities, as his was, will dou-
BILE IN ten years. His 50,000s there.
fore, amounted to ST., 5000, 900 in ter
years, to So, 900, 900 in twenty years and
to Sc, 900, 900 IN thirty years. As hi
left IS, 900, 900, it is evident that he die
not do quite as we'll as he should have.
I think very few rich men hoard gold al
any time. The man who acquires riches
usually has sufficient confidence in the
great enterprises of the country to b.
willing to take his chances on their Sc
curities, and Government bonds appea
to even the timid as being safer than
gold or any other kind of property. y
