GOV. M'KINLEY'S MONEY.
Swept Away by the Failure Of
Friend.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Feb. ia sensation
was caused in business. financial and man
ufacturinE circles to-day by the failure Of
Robert L. Walker. a prominent banker and
capitalist, who made an assignment for the
benefit OF his creditors. The failure will
be widespread In its effects, involving Gov.
Mckinley. and the indications are now that
every dollar OF property owned by tho gov
erEor will be swept away. As near az can
be estimated the liabilities will reach $780,
GOO. Tho failure is due to investments in
properties and enterprises requiring a large
outlay of money that have not boon Ms vet
productive. From boyhood Gov. MoKin-

BEDROOM FURNISHINGS.

They Should Be Simple But Nest. and
scrupulously Clean.
In furnishing a bedroom we must
remember that we have to do with the
lungs Of the house and, therefore, must
place no distractions to the entrance
Of pure fresh air. For this reason cur.
tains may be more properly dispensed
with in this room than in any other.
The bedstead should be Of metal. Very
pretty ones are now made OF iron
enameled in different colors with gilt
or brass knobs. The most restful color
for the eyes and brain is green. The
curtains, if they can be afforded, should
be of the Japanese crepe, which ia
daintiness itself in this coloring. Be.
sides the bedstead a small chiffoniel
and deep chest Of drawers, with two
chairs, are all that will be required, but
a washstand and screen to stand before
it are desirable additions Above the
chest of drawers long, narrow mirror
can be hung crosswnys, and you have
a scrviceable combination OF bureau
and dressing table. II is better judg.

Thoughtful IIummlng Bid.

Humming birds are very shy and
fleet OF wing, and it is difficult to
make their acquaintance. A gentle
man, who had rare opportunity to
watch mother bird and the tiny nest
which she had built near his room,
says that one day, when there was .
heavy shower coming up, just as the
first drops fell, the mother came .fiut-
tering home, seized large leaf which
grew on tree near by, drew it over
her nest in a way to completely cover
it, then went back to whatever work
she had been about when the coming
storm disturbed her. The watchers at
the window wondered why the leaf
did not blow away. They found it
hooked to tiny stick just inside the
nest. The storm was over, the mother
came home. unlocked the green cur
tain she had SO perfectly put up, AM
found her babies all dry.

PERnlCIous PRACTICE.
rhc Uncsenn Habit OF Using the Mouth -
a Catch-Ail.


a Catch-Ail
There al multitude of people
who, in addition to the natural and
proper uses of the mouth, seem to re-
gard it as u sort OF handy receptacle,
into which any small object may be
thrust for safe-keoping till wanted.
This trait is not confined to either sex
or to any age Many fond mother
will cry out in alarm at the sight OF
her child running about with play
thing in its mouth, yet the chances
are that If this shne mother should
all hour later have occasion to pay
her fare on o public conveyance, she
would fish out, from some ridiculous
receptacle called q purse, small coin.
which she would hold between her
lips till ready to make some other dis
position Of it--and this regardless OF
the fact that on an average the coin
had been travelling about the country
for from fifteen to twenty years, dur
ing which time ii had been in all sorta
of places and amid all kinds Of sur.
roundings This observation is true
of many other things than small coins,
and of fathers as well as Of mothers.
Some of the most painful instances
possible have recently illustrated the
danger of this habit. The horrible
death Of q well-beloved clergyman.
the result of swallowing small cork
which he was holding between his
lips, is fresh in mind; and at this writ
ing a man in Albany has his lungs
filled with tacls which he swallowed
in similar manner. He was holding
them between his lips, while putting
down a carpet, and inhaled them il
laughing at the remark of some one
present. lie now lies at the point oi
death, and no earthly power can aid
him. Surely these illustrations and
the suggestions which they invariably
call up, ought to be sufficient reason
why no thinking person should ever
make temporary receptacle Of the
mouth for foreign substances.-G

undeniable. and at one of the great
London clubs recently silver spoon
was found in fine salmon. The
spoon had upon it the crest of we'll

that the latter had been cruising about

the fish had been caught. The voracity
of the pike is notorious, but year or

Mines Under the Sen.

We have all heard about the British
coal and iron mines, the galleries OF
which extend far out under the Allan
tic ocean, but there are, perhaps, very
few Americans that know that the
most extensive under-ocean mining OPP
erations in the world are carried on
along the Pacific coast of this conti-
nent At Nanaimo, B. c., there is a
coal mine, the shaft of which extends
several hundred feet below the ocean
bed at that point. All the galleries of
the mine. aggregating something like
twelve miles in length, are entirely
under the ocean.
