One of the curious features of the
New York subtreasury count is the
number of bags which have never been
emptied since they left the mint. Most
OF the silver dollars now being handled
have upon their coverings the dust
which has accumulated since the last
count, four years ago. There has been
no call for them, and they have re-
manned in the ~subtreasury vaults like

There are, perhaps, few substances
more widely, If indirectly, used and at
the same time less known to those
outside the immediate industry con-
cerned than gambler. The very name
is unfamiliar to the general public,
while any knowledge of the origin
and mode Of preparation of gambler
is uncommon. Gambler Is very extern
avely employed In the dying and tam

materials and articles Of daily use have
In the course Of their manufacture been
treated with the substance under con-
sideration. Gambler is, moreover, q
valuable medicine, says the st. Louis
Post-D Dispatch. ~
Similar in chemical composition to
ordinary catechu, gambler Is obtained
by boiling the leaves and twigs Of the
uncaria gambir plant, q native Of the
East, and found either wild or cultiyat-;
ed in the Straits settlements and 10
hOre, as well as in Java and Sumatra.
Uncaria gambler belongs to the natural
order r%ubiaceae, in which are also em-
braced the cinchonas or uuinine Weld
ing plants, as well as coffee. The flow.
ers are small and crowded together.
and the plant itself is q strong. shrnhhv
climber. Gambler appears to have been
used In India for dyeing purposes from
o very remote period, but Its introduce
tion INTO Europe commenced with the
present century.
The manufacture OF gambler Is stir
conducted on very primitive lines and

boiled In a rough cauldron until the.

A Curious wedding Custom.

A Curious Wedding Custom.
The Mandingoes, who inhabit a tract
of country in Africa, r strict Mo-
hammedans in religion, but, curiously
enough, they still retain many Of the
superstitions of the negro races from
which they sprung. Consequently their
marriage ceremony is a mixture of the
two, and, although it is performed by
a marabout or holy nan In the mosque,
1t contains very ridiculous element.
Next in importance to the marabout
Is the bridegroom's sister, and when
the marriage ceremony reaches the
point where the visible bond, usually
typified in civilization by the ring, this
sister steps forward, and in place Of
the ring presents the lady with a pair
Of trousers, which r Immediately
donned. The ceremony is concluded BY
a very mournful song sung by the COM
panions of the bride, who then conduct
her again to the home of her parents,
as, owing to the extreme probability
OF one or the other ~retracting at any
moment by reason of an unfavorable
omen, no house is built until the cere-
mony Is completed. Polygamy is the
rule, but each wife has her own house
to keep her from quarreling with the
other wives. They are the most tyran-
meal wives in Africa, and, hating each
other, band together against their hus-
band and rule him with a rod of iron

CHAPTER II.

After writing for some time, Lord

her debut, been presented, or mingled

Lady Trenham looked with some sur
prise at her husband. For many long
long years she had not seen him so
cheerful or animated. F.
'"Te1l me about it," she said, gently;
and her husband continued
"You remember, perhaps, that last
year Evelyn went to Lady Merchants
she spent three weeks there. She
told us she had met young Give Ham
ilton. He was a mere nobody in those
days, but by the death of two near
relatives he has since succeeded to the
estates and title Of Lord Brooke Of
B~rookelynne. He is now one Of the
richest men in England. He writes
to beg my permission to visit Trenham,
hoping to be able to win my daughters
heart and hand. Could anything be
more fortunate, Hilda? He offers any.

settlements. I shall live to see you en-

Lady sTrenham. II viii find her and

Work Done by Wealthy Women.
A. woman who makes fancy articles
for one Of the exchanges was COM
planning recently that those who do
this work for q living are frequently
undersold by women who do not have
to earn their bread, but who want to
add to their pin money, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. She said: 'These women
surely ought not to exhibit their work
for sale at emporiums which were
primarily established to help wage-earn-
ers. Do they not defeat the very pur-
pose of the exchange by so doing? They
have more leisure than we do. They
can afford to take up the finest kind
of fancy work, and as they do not de-
pend for the necessities Of life upon
what they earn they are often willing
to sell for less than we can afford to,
and the worst of it is they often have
wealthy friends who desire to purchase
their articles. There is just n point
in all this, and that is that these women
should seek to sell ut stores managed
upon a purely business basis rather
than at these salesrooms, which were
organized to help needy women earn
a living. But some few unsuccessful
workers would go farther than this
and say that well-to-do women should
not attempt to earn money at all If
they so desire. One might as well say
that women in comfortable circum-
stances should not write books, paint
pictures or think out inventions for
fear Of competing with those less favor
ably placed. Mediocrity would be the
result. To forbid all women the indus
trial field who are not absolutely driv-
en- to work would be a step backward
rather than forward in the progress Of
wOmankind. .-

Women With Dirty Faces.

O"Sn Win Dirty races
A. well Known London woman recent
" in this country called the American
women "a lot Of dirty faces"
"You are smart and all that" she
said to a Post-D Dispatch man, ''but you
don't know how to keep your faces
clean. During the week Of the naval
festivities in New York T went every
where to see the parades and to see the
people. I saw them both to the very
best advantage, and I reiterate what
I said the day I landed-the American
women are a lot. Of dirty faces. In
London you al see all Europe in q
day, and in New York, I am told, the
whole American nation is represented
N an occasion like the arrival Of the
foreign fleet. I had glasses with me,
my eyes are good and I can speak from
careful observation. In the houses
where I have visited I.found the toilet
tables and baths stacked with nasty
greases and cheap soaps. They call
the rancid. stuff cold cream but I
would rather use cold lard IL I had to
choose. Now it is a great mistake to
put these preparations on the face
unless it is n and needs healing.
Even then I would rather 60 to a chem
list and get some fresh made salve or
glycerine jelly.
what do I use? Almond meal and
a loophar. An old loophar is the best
thing in the market for a clean face.
TO my mind 1t Is natures face washer.
Loophars come from Japan, I believe,
but you can get them in any shop where
sponges are sold. The loophar Is rough
and IRRITATING at first but after 1t is
thoroughly soaked and has been In use
d few months it Is excellent. It not
only cleans the skin thoroughly, but the
friction is just enough to bring the
blood to the surface and excite pers-
piration. This circulation and exuda-
ton open the pores, and II there are
blackheads they come out. I would
no more think Of doing without my
loophar than my tooth brush. Then /
never use sbap on my face. Pure Cas-
tile ID, T admit, excellent, but there is
always q slime, left that nothing will
remove but powder, and Us / don't want
to powder any more than I can help,
I prefer almond meal to soap. I just
lather my face with the meal and scrub
It clean with the loophar. In cold
weather I use warm water and In warm
weather cold water. I buy the meal
by the tin, the best quality I al find.
When I am In this country Of on the
train and I can't get q supply I do with
oatmeal. It is quite as good, only I
fancy the trace OF perfume In the
almond meal. If my face gets rough
or chapped I mix up a wash tea
spoonful OF glycerine jelly, the same
quantity OF lemon juice and q table
spoonful OF c0logne-and use It after my
bath. This agrees perfectly with me
and has the desired effect. For rough
hands and sore lips 7 use the glycerinc
jelly alone"

Niasara Falls. n. Y, June 3O.-Thrce
strangers arrived here on the Michigan
Central train on Sunday night. One of
them was very ill and apparently suffer-
ing great pain. They went to u small
and rather obscure hotel where only the
sick man registered. After putting the
SICK man to bed his companions hunted
.uD q doctor and soon after left. They
have not returned and probably will not.
n the sick man is now a corpse. The
dead man was John Harvey, alias Airing,
one of the most noted expert confidence
men and all around crooks in the coun-
try. Soon after the mans arrival his
companions shaved big rolls of bills and
said they would pay for any attendance.
Ihe hotel keeper says that Haryey had a
roll as big as that of his companions
but it is gone. 1t may be a murder.

men here this afternoon. Ex-Gov. j. il.

ing, the Missouri valley, representing
almost 90 per cent of the smelling bust
ness of the United States, have decided
to cease purchasing silver ores and to 90

" but 100000 ounces of silver in stock.
