Ing IN any manner Tue TeldtlOuS WHICH us Qll-
ferent forms now bear to each other.
A DIFFICULTY DISCUSSED.
Secretary Carlisle says that one of the princi-
pal difficulties encountered by the treasury de-
partment results from the indiSpositfoa of the
public to retain standard silver dollars and sill
yer certificates in circulation. The secretary
does not know why this should be, anduadds:
With the policy of maintaining equality in
the eXchangeable value of all currency
firmly established. and the further accumuia-
ton OF silver bullion arrested, there is no sub
stantia1 reason why the silver certificate
should not be favorably received and
literally treated by the public any other
form OF note in circulation. and for the pur-
pose of creating greater demand for their
permanent in the daily transactions of
the people, I have directed that as far as the
law permits, and rapidly the OPP
pcrrtunity is afforded, the amount OF such
certificates OF denominations less than $40
shall be increased by substituting them for
larger ones to be retired. and that the small
denominations of other kinds of currency shall
be retired as they are received into the treas
ury and larger ones substituted in their places.
LEGAL TENDER NOTES.
There are now outstanding United States
legal slender notes to the amount OF SCI 9i4.9H
in denominations less than $40, treasury notes
issued under the act OF 1899 OF denominations
less than So S5 eSs 4s9. and national bank notes
SOB 3sl GIG am of the opinion that
if this policy can be carried out to the extent
of supplying the country with small silver GER
tifcates to an amount sufficient to conduct
ordinary cash transactions of the people, and
it. during the same time, certificates of the
largest denominations were issued in the
places OF others retired. SO to encourage the
national banks to hold them as parts of their
lawful reserves, the existing difficulties would
be removed, and ultimately larger amount
of.such currency than is now in circulation
could be conveniently and safely used. :

Sizes In Tiger Skins.

That the royal Bengal tiger is no incon-
siderable beast is we'll known fact, but TO
even give an approximate guess on the
length Of one Of the monsters skins would
puzzle many persons who really believe
themselves to be naturalists. For the ben
eft Of scientific readers, as well as would
be Nimrods, who wish to appear to be load
ed with animal statistics and facts of ell
kinds, will say that the length OF the
largest tiger skin ever taken (after being
stretched and dried was ID feet o. inches.
This must not he taken as meaning the
actual leugth Of the living beast, for the
skins expand surprisingly while undergo
ing the curing process-a green skin OF 10
feet being accounted wonder In fact,
Mr.. Inglis. the recognized tiger authority
of Great Britain and India, says that the
greatest known length Of an undressed skin
was 10 feet 81 inches.
il is believed, however, that the predeces-
sofs Of the present tribe Of Bengalese cats
were from ~ fifth to third larger than the
gigantic striped feline that roams the In
dian iungles Of today, and that the old
stories Of their carrying of full grown oxen
are not exaggerations. Louis Republic

The cock birds usually arrive in the val

and spend at least week IN practieing aud

are extremely tame, and the writer has

observed in human vocalists. The first long
drawn notes are commonly run through
without difficulty, but tbesnbsequent trllls
and changes can no moro be acquires with
out practice aud training by the nightin
gale than by human singer The bird
stops and repeats the song, sometimes car
rying it on with a rush which seems to
promise success, and then breaking down
helplessly.
Now and then the complete song Is sung
so low as TO be almost inaudible, and then
triumphantly repeated with the utmost
powers which the bird can exert. Prowling
bird catchers, with their traps and meal
worms, are wont to find their way to Night
ingale valley and the owner OF the farm
finds it necessary to give orders for the pro
lection Of the nightingales equally with the
