Money in Circulation.
New YORK. May 21.-United States
Treasurer E. II. Nebeker hopes to re-
tire on June 1. He Is now in this city.
He came here to close up his official
business. Mr.. Nebeker said he did not
think the financial situation alarming.
AS to bank failures he remarked:
"They furnish strong indication
that the people of the country do not
have as much confidence in banks as
they did. In Indiana. and [ think all
over the country, banks are making as
few loans as possible and are trying to
collect all they can. Confidence is what
the bankers want today. They cannot
keep millions of dollars locked up in
their vaults. If bank has 81, 900, 900 on
hand, it is better to loan S75OO0O than
to keep all of it locked up in vaults. As
much money as possible should be kept
in circulation"

1t Eats Only Raw Meat and Is So
Fierce That 1t Is Gagged.
Capt. Fausset, of the British steam
ship Lord LansdoWpe, from Androssan,
Scotland, captured while at sea a most
peculiar bird. It is still held captive
on board, being perned up in the lower
chart room beneath the flying bridge,
1t is very fierce and the captains large
dog is afraid to venture near the pecu-
liar bird. Ever since its capture 1t
has been fed upon law meat. which Is
thrown in the window gratings.
Early one morning when many hum
dred miles from the shore the bird
was seen lowering about in the locality
of the ship, and finally it landed ex-
hausted on the foretOpmast, where it
was captured with some difficulty by
the boatswain. When brought to the
deck it's craw was found to be empty,
but it refused everything offered until
the steward threw into the quarters
where it was confined piece of canned
beef, which it ate. Upon becoming
rested the bird grew very fierce, and
the sailors were afraid to 60 near it.
It is not known to what species the
bird belongs. Its head resembles some
what that of an owl, bnt the body is
like chicken, only the wings are much
larger and appear more powerful.
Capt: Fausset believes the bird was
driven Off shore in one Of the recent
gales. He does not think that # Il q

despot of the worst description. He
has forbidden the young ladies attend

ball or indulging in the luxury of en-

Is a terrible hardship. The young lady

preference to those of foreign origin.

Reply to DObbie's Prayer

Unexpected. Reply to DObbie's Prayer.
Small Robert had one desire that
transcribed all others, namely, bicy-
Gle. Now Roberts family are of a
religious turn, and here was an oppor-
tunity to inculcate devotion in the boy.
So they told Robert that if he prayed
regularly perhaps God would send him
a bicycle. Robert prayed. After he had
been paying regularly for month or
more the anniversary Of his birth ar
rived, and the family decided that it
was about time to reward his dcvo-
tion., But thinking that bicycle might
endanger the boys life, they bought
Lin a tricycle.. Small Robert came
down on the morning of his birthday
and was told that there was something
out in the yard for him to look at. He
went out to see, and there was the
tricycle.. But tricycle. was not what
Robert wanted, and he looked up to
heaven in disgust. >...

Seeing the conditions under which
coal miners work in hot and dust laden

to fatal accident, it might naturally be
expected that their death rate would
be excessively high. As a matter Of
fact this is far from being the case.
Even when fatal accident is included,
their death rate is by no means an ex-
cessively high one, and putting acci-
dents aside the death rate from disease
alone is exceptionally low, being al.
