For many years l have observed that
when stringency occurs in New York
tits not felt in thelWest for some time
afterward. Not very long ago, when
money was commanding from II to 40
per cent per annum on call in New
York, it was comparatively easy in the
West. The stringencv wave left New
York and has passed into the West;
NOW money is being piled up in the
East and is freely offered OH call both in
Boston and New York at 2 per cent;
this has been the case for over week.
Private advices, as we'll as the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches. show that
money is abundantin the East, but they
are still timid. believe that confidence
will soon be restored and that business
will resume its natural and legitimate
course.

How to Preven. Accidents.

A large decrease in the number o.
accidents has resulted from a law In
Germany relating to shops "a which
machines are used. Under this law
the manning of a workman entails
upon the proprietor the payment OF
doctors bills, life pension TO the
empioye in case Of permanent disabil-
ity resulting from the accident, or, in
case death results, a pension to the
family of the deceased. The effect of
the law has been the general dis
charge of careless help and the shield
ing OF such parts Of machines as are
ordinarily dangerous when left ex.
posed, and these measures are said to
have prOdu remarkable diminu-

not express delight with, or make COM

"Such women are admired and

towards redeeming the weaknesses and

These words of praise for the few
serve to intensity the arraignment
against Us which on the whole is very
strong. We do not show good taste
in many places where we should be e1-
pected to do so. If we have instincts
in the right direction we are far too
apt to smother them IN our fright lest
we shall seem singular; word Of
more terrible import to most of us
apparently than any other in the lam
guage.
In a book written by Henry Frick
few years ago, he took the ground that
women were deficient in a sense of
beauty, alleging in proof the fact that
manly eomeliness did not seem to be
widely appreciated by women. Among
birds and beasts, male beauty seems to
have been cultivated through the pro-
cesses of natural selection. Ii, among
human beings, the reverse is true, may

UNDER SUSPICION.

Something very unusual to quiet
TalmleY had happened. and Talmley
was decidedly uncomfortabl BILE about il.
or course everybody knew, as
everybody knew everything in that
delightful place, where each neighbor
was a friend, each friend a brother:
and what the village folk knew was
this-the miller, old Harvey jameson,
had been robbed.
"a queer business" said the mill
er, shaking his dusty head solemnly,
and telling the circumstance for the
flftieth time to his near neighbor,
Farmer Greene, who had dropped in
to sympathizc with his old friend:
nobody knew l had the money but
my daughter Jennie and young Le-
voc, and l can't suspect a single soul
/ put the money in tin box, and put
that among lot of other boxes in
the cupboard, waitin' until l could

hold when l went to get it out yes
terday, there wasn't a single sign OF
box or money. l can't understand

"Neither can l, neighbor," said
Greene, running a brawny hand over
his shock of untidy hair; neither can

store by that young man ye've took
into your house, an mebbe ye've mis-
took him. He's a deal too fine about
his cloths an his hands, an his hair,
to be any too honest; but" cautious

"Taint in nature not to think 1t

Then Greene held out his hand to
the miller, who was deep in thought,
and bade him go,d-day, and betook
himself to his duties on the farm hard
by the mill.
But the farmer had left a seed OF
doubt behind him; and when has such

A FAMOUS FORoKR.
Hs Lived to Regret HIS Gresd for sudAsa
Riches.

Benjamin Rathbuu was a pictur>
esQue figure in the early history OF
Western New York, when Buffalo
was frontier town, and not even
cabin marked the site Of the future
Chicago he was the proprietor Of
the famous Eagle Tavern, and was .
most genial and successful Boniface.
He organized a fast stage service
between Albany and Buffalo His
| lightning line for six passengers
only" was marvel of enterprise for
the time. Not content with moder.
ate prosperity he embarked in land
speculation, which in magnitude and
recklessness had never been ap
preached In any American town
When he began tn buy building lots
and outlying farming lands Buffalo
went wild with excitement His ex-
ample was infectious The most con-
Iseryative settlers invested heavily In
real estate, and dreamed OF making
fabulous fortunes in a twelve-month-

lars.
he did not drink, or smoke, or
gamble. He had neither vices nor
extravagant habits, and devoted him
self sssiduously to his business.
While singularly modest and utterly
irreproachable In private life, he was
also the most remarkable criminal OF
his time
In order to obtain capital for his
speculations he devised an ingenious
system Of forgery. He paid for his
land purchases by giving mis- notes
which were endorsed by business as.
sociates. or each note he made from
ten to fifty copies, and his clerk, art
expert penman, forged the indorse,
ment. He opened an Office in New
York for,negotiating this srorged pa.
per, the volume of which ran up into
the millions.
1t was several years before his
crimes were detected. A protested
note was brought to the attention of
the supposed indorser and pronounced
spurious. The great bubble was
prIcked. Rathbun was arrested,
tried, and sentenced TO five years
imprisonment.
After his Waterloo this Napoleon

punishment as his Just deserts He

and strove to live down his rep1ta-
ton.
Although his operations had
reached millions, he had never
owned more than tifty thousand dol
lars at one time, nor had he ever pub
away a dollar for himself He died
in poverty at the age Of 50, genera
tion after his downfall
When the old man could DO In,
duced to speak of the past, he had
one thing TO say: 1T WAS greed that
made me a criminal l was IN hot
haste to get rich, and could not wait.
You see, l am now a very old man!
flow much time l would have had, II
l had ouly waited"
The moral never grows stale. Il
applies as well to FIench minister
like NJ. Baihaut, confessing his
shame iu the Panama trial, as to
Benjamin Rathbun. 1t is the lust Of
sudden gain, an access of unreasoning
greed, that inspires financial crime.

The Emerald Vase.

In the cathedral at Genoa there Is
ar emerald vase which is said to have
been one Of the gifts of the Queen Of
Shcba to Solomon. Its authentic
history goes back 500 years
The tradition is that when King
Solomon received it filed it with
an elixir which he alone knew how
to distill, and of which a single
drop would prolong human life to an
indefinite extent.
A miserable criminal, dying of
slow disease IN prison, besOught the
king to give him drop of this magic
potion.
Solomon refused. "Why should l
prolong so useless a life?" he said. Il
will give it to those whose lives will
bless their fellow-men.
But when good men begged for it
the king was in an i'll humor, or too
indolent to open the vase, or he
promised and forgot So the years
passed until he grew old, and many
of the friends whom he loved were
dead; and still the vase had never
been opened.
Then the king, to excuse himself,
threw doubt upon the virtues of the
elixir.
At last he himself fell i'll. Then
his servants brought the vase that he
might save his own life. He opened
it. But it was empty The elixir
had evapOrated to the last drop.
Did not the rabbi or priest who in
vented this story intend to convey in
it great truth?
Have we not all within us a vessel
more precious than any emerald, into
which God has put portion of the
water of life? 1t is for our own
healing-fOr the healing OF others.
We hide il, we do not use it-from
false shame, or idleness, or forgetful-
ness. Presently we begin to doubt
its efficacy.
When death approaches we turn to
it in desperate haste. But the ne
elected faith has left the soul. The
vase is empty. Companion

Making Hot Water Pleasant

"There are many persons who in.

disagreeable faces about it." said an
enthusiast Of hygiene to a writer for
the Brooklyn Citizen. Il have heard
a great many people say this and for

One day l dropped In upon one Of my
friends and found her very 81. I
made up my mind that a little hot
water would be beneficial and ran
down to the kitchen to get 1t. While
pouring out glass for her it occurred
to me that it was good opportunity
to indulge in bit OF 1t myself, so /
poured a second glass and after 1t was
cool enough l attempted TO drink It
l didn't wonder that she had said she
couldn't drink hot water, for such
a nauseous tasting mess l think I
never tried to swallow; in fact l lust
absolutely couldn't do 1t and had to
give up hardly knew what to say
to her when she, upon tasting, de-
clared she couldn't take it TO save her
life. l could imagine nothing but
dishwater in the taste Of that liquid.

and Triumphs; or, Forty Years Recol-

Washington in 1852 with Commodore

The cabinet happened to be there, and

iner to them.
After little joking Mr.. Lincoln bent
down his long, lank body, and taking
Mutt by the hand said:

are in command of your feet, if you find
yourself in danger of being taken prison

woman.. Hotel In Chieago.

In Chicago there is woman's hotel
that SO far is success. The great expo
sition overshadows everything else, and
lady visitors who come sightseeing and
have no responsibility of getting up the
show accept things as they find them.
The woman's hotel is called the Woman's
Dormitory, but is no Sleepy Hollow in
spite of its name. There are very wide
awake women here. 1t is a temporary
structure of two stories, with three sto-
ries in the center, and occupies an entire
block in length and about a quarter of a
block in width. The Chicago blocks are
an eighth of mile long, and we soon ao-
complish mile walking about the house.
1t is built of plain white boards. Day
light comes through the cracks, and
when it rains the rain beats in. There
can be five fires in the five fireplaces. AS
the face gets hot the back gets cold, and
if the circle is 20 or 80 the fraction Of
heat is small for each person such cold
days as we had in May.
The pine boards of the house ooze out
with the tar balsam, and that has no
doubt cured many of influenza and
coughs. The doctors carriage does not
drive up though. We are 700 or 600
women, but each one is a natural nurse,
and there are some who have the title Of
NJ. d. to their names. There are no mod
ern improvements in the house. There
is cold water, but not hot. except at GER
tain hours, from two gas stoves, where
the supply is limited. The gas is in the
halls and candles in the rooms. The
rooms are furnished with bed, mattress
and bedding, table, chair, washbowl and
pitcher mirror, some hooks to hang up
apparel, and in the double rooms there
are two single beds, The sanctum sane
forum of ones little room is somewhat
disturbed because the cracks in ths pine
boards at the top, over and under the
doors admit all neighboring sounds. and
in any household Of 1000 guests there is
a wonderful amount of talking. May
