BRANHAM'S DEATH.
Several Peculiar Features In the Taking on
of the Physician.

Several Peculiar Features In the Taking on
of the Physician.
BRUNSWICK, Ga, Aug. 21.-The death
of Branham, who perished from yellow
fever, seems to have been peculiar in
more ways than one. 1t is peculiar,
indeed, that a trained physician should
be sent south to file the yellow
fever, and that he should be at
tackled with the disease while yet
hundreds of miles distant from the
fever district. For not another yellow
fever case has been reported anywhere
in the vicinity of Brunswick. Equally
odd is the fact that DR.. Branham had u
presentiment of impending disaster.
He brought with him United States
flag and told his friends if he did not
return alive to wrap his body in the
stars and stripes. Sunday the flag was
wrapped about his body as shroud.

ANOTHER SCHEME.
It Is to Issue Currency Against seigniorage

1t Is to Issue Currency Against Seigniorage
on Bullion.
WAsHINGTON, Aug. 19.--Of the many
financial schemes proposed to speedily
relieve the stringency in money, the
one said to be regarded by treasury
officials as the most practicable is the
one to authorize the secretary of the
treasury to issue currency against the
seigniorage or profit upon the coinage
of the silver bullion in the treasury.
There are now 130,00O,000 ounces of
silver bought under the act of 1890, and
notes issued against the seigniorage on
that amount would add nearly 5O,0OO,-
900 to the circulating medium. A large
proportion of the notes are already
printed and could be put in circulation,
it is said, che day after congress au-
thorized the secretary to act.

Strained Relations.

BERLIN, Aug. 21.-The relations be.
tween France and Italy are regarded
here with considerable anxiety in view
Of the popular demonstrations against
the French in Italian cities since the
massacre of Aigues-Mortes. The hos
tility displayed by the Italian agitators
is believed to threaten very grave
consequences, as it will irritate the
French government just at the time
when Italy is making her demands for
reparation. Even the possibility OF n
French.Italian war, and Germany's
obligations under the triple alliance
discussed.

The TWO DOLLAR MAN.
How the Problem OF borrowing Money Hes
Bccn Reduced to u Fine Point.

Bcen Reduced to u Fine Point.
Among the great variety of ways OF
getting q living in the metropolis is
borrowing two dollars until tomorrow.
The manner seems ut the first blush to
be rather precarious, but If scientific
ally pursued it apparently yields an
income sufficiently large to sustain life
and enable it's recipient to keep up
many of the appearances of respecta-
bility. don't know why two dollars
should become standard sum of ex.
change in this field-that is question
for the financial sharps who can tell
you all about the causes of commercial
depression. But who ever heard of
" friend" striking you for three dol.
lars? And as for two dollars and fifty
cents or one dollar and fifty cents, it is
something prcposterous. Next to the
man who wants but fifty cents to tide
him over the evening, the man who
is in need of two dollars takes precc-
dencc. The next unit of value is five
dollars. The sum of four dollars would
| be of no use to anybody. 1t is two dol
lars that seems to fill long felt want.
For this reason the two dollar silver
| cerUlHcuUeS were created.
There is man who has reduced the
scheme of borrowing two dollars to
something akin to an exact science.
| Perhaps it were invidous to allude to
Il single individual in discussing so
popular and widespread an occupation,
but it is merely for the purpose of
illustration. This example is said to
be a very bright and companionable
gentleman, who, did the bent of his
mind turn in that direction, might
easily earn a comfortable living in
other walks of commercial life. In fact
he was earning such an income year or
so ago when, unfortunately, he borrowed
two dollars till tomorrow. 1t was
accomplished so easily and quickly that
he tried it again, and again he was sue
cessful. With the brilliancy of born
financier he saw at once that it was a
foolish thing to toll when two dollars
could be gathered hereand there mere
ly for the asking He made another
discovery-that nobody expects two
dollars thus loaned to ever be re
turned. Any amount above that re
quired note of hand. or if not prompt
ly repaid caused trouble and engenderet
hard feelings. Having settled on the
two dollar theory he threw up his jol

The Comfortable Corset Cover.

In speaking of the corset cover it
may be said that a great many women
dispense with it. 1t is claimed that
taking away, as it certainly does, from
she shape of the stays, it tends to make
the bodice less perfect in its fit. Nat
urally, every woman has her own ideas
on this subject, but the correct cover
of to-day and that of ten years ago are
so entirely different that it may be
doubted as to whether the argument
holds good. In the first place it is not
laden with trimmings, it is made to fiji
as closely as possible, and it's seams
are very small ones, done after the
fashion of French hem. Sleeves are
no longer noted, but if a cover is low
in the neck simple band is all that is
necessary while if it is high and cut out
round, square or pointed, the shoulder
portion forms all that is necessary
The arms eyes oftenest have simple
hem finish, very narrow and very fiat
Lace outlines the opening of the neck
and this may be drawn in with love
ribbon, but anything that will in any
way make "bunchiness" is avoided
Small pearl buttons are used for the
closing, and the cover itself should be
fitted to be little longer than ths
stays.-Ladies' Home journal.
