A bill to repeal the 10 per cent. tax
upon state bank circulation has been
drafted by the congressional sub-com-
mittee on banking and currency,
The bill does not repeal the tax I'm
conditionally, but provides that the
issues of currency shall be under the
direction of the comptroller of the
currency, who will prevent the issue
of currency which is not amply Sc
cured. The notes of each bank are
to be limited to rs per cent. of paid
and unimpaired capital, and they are
to be made by states of issue a first
lien on all assets of the issuing bank
at liability against stockholders to
an amount equal to the amount of
their stock in addition to it. AS the
law also contemplates making banks
issuing such notes subject to inspec-
ton by tho comptroller, it would seem
that the measure will have tendency
to increase the volume of currency,
and provide an issue fully as well pro-
tected as are the national bank notes.
This bill will, in effect, make ma
tional banks out of all the state banks
taking advantage of its provisions.

Decision In the Pine Land Cases Has
Been Filed.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 9.-As has been pre-
viously foretold in press dispatches the
case of the State of Minnesota against
G. A. Smith & Co., of Minneapolis, to
set aside and annul private sale of the
pine in section SO, township 40, range 90,
the same being section of school land,
and to secure a refund to the state Of
the value of timber cut Their con by the
defendants, has been decided on every
point in favor of the state by Judges
L. L. Baxter and D. B. Searle,
of the Seventh judicial district. The ac-
ton originated from resolution intro
duced into the last house of representa-
tive by Hon. r. G. Dunn of Princeton,
Mile Laos county.
The judges, after a lengthy review Of
the facts in the case, sum up as follows:
That said permit was made and de-
livered without authority Of law; that
the same is null and void; that said
defendants have no right, title
or interest in or to the pine
timber attempted by said instrument to
be sold, and said that instrument and
the record thereof aforesaid must be
Cancelled, set aside and annulled, and
that said plaintiff is entitled to have and
recover from said defendants and each
of them them the sum of $9,514.89, to.
gether with interest thereon from June
90, 1898, and. the costs and disburse-
ments of this action.
There were about 100000 feet of
pine still standing on section 36, which
reverts to the state.

italian Et.aucttc.


If the woman who visits Rome wishes
to follow tradition and do us the Ro-
mans do, /" she will be careful never to
take an escorts arm in Catholic
church. Indeed, the guides instruct
those who stroll innocently arm in arm
about st. Peters looking at the pictures,
frescoes and affairs of that wonderful
cathedral that they are committing an
impropriety.
Italians are very particular about the
etiquette of kissing the hand A man
kisses the right hand of his mother, aunt
or elderly friend and the left hand Of
his sweetheart. 1t is not permitted him
to kiss the palm of the hand except in
great and atfectIonate intimacy. 1t is
regarded as token that he is very
much in love. Upon arriving at
formal dinner gentleman takes the
hand of his hostess and bends low over
it as if about to kiss it, but does not
do SO. After dinner etiquette demands
that he take her hand again and kiss it.
New York World
Thirty-tllree Years without Food.
A queer story, and one which readers
would do well to thoroughly salt give
it more than the proverbial grain before
swallowing, comes with first class rec
ommendation all the way from Eng
land. Thirty-three years ago, in 1860,
member of the Chaplin family died at
Blankney, Lincolnshire, and was laid in
the family tomb. This particular Chap
lin was a naturalist, and among his
other pets had large gray bat. That
bat was permitted to enter the tomb and
was sealedup alive along with the corpse
of his dead master. In 1865 the vault
was opened, and to the surprise of all
the bat was alive and fat. On four diff
ferent occasions since the Chaplins have
looked after the welfare of their dead
relatives pet, and each time it has been
reported that the bat was still in the
land of the living, although occupying
quarters with the dead. He was last
seen in $685.. Louis Republic.

How the Gorilla Walks.

The usual pictures of the gorilla dc
not represent him as have seen him.
He has not only crouching habit, but
he walks on all four of his legs and has
the motion of most quadrupeds, using
his right arm and left leg at the same
time, and alternates with the left arm
and right leg. 1t is not exactly walk
or trot, but kind of ambling gait,
while the chimpanzee uses his arms as
crutches, but lifts one foot from the
ground little in advance of the other.
They do not place the palm of the hand
on the ground, but use the back of the
fingers from the second joint and at
times the one have described above
seemed to touch only the back of the
nails, but this was when she was scarce
ly moving at all. ] am now preparing
to photograph some of them, and think
can give a more reliable picture of
this animal than / have ever seen here

APPENDICITIS is POPULAR.
Nature of the Disease That of Late has
BECOME Almost Fashionable.

Naturs of tho Disease That of Late Has
BECOME Almost Fashionable.
Not many years ago, tolerably COM
mon report of the cause OF death was
Inflammation of this bowels. It was
pretty general term and has since been
little heard of as different forms OF
Inflammation in tho abdominal cavity
have become better known.
The most startling of all this is APP
pendicitis, inflammation OF the verml-
FORM appendix, useless and dangerous
closed pouch which projects from the
cacum. Almost concurrently with the
enormous advance in surgery, which
makes opening the abdomen reasonably
safe instead of almost certainly fatal,
there has been an enormous increase
in the number of cases of this disease
reported by physicians. The disease mas
acnuired an interest that it could not
have while it was almost Impossible
to treat it successfully. While only
limited range of treatment was open
for any abdominal Inflammation II
made little difference just where or
what the lesion was; now there are every
reason to decide promptly and accu-
rately and good hope of surgical cure
in this and some other affections OF the
lower viscera.
At the same time, it is evident that
much remains to be learned as to this
particular affection. Until recently II
was usually supposed to proceed from
mechanical irritation of some indlges-
tible substance which became fastened
in this slender blind passage. Now there
is germ theory for it, which gets
some support from the fact that occa-
sionally in true case of appendicitis
no foreign substance is found in the ap-
pendix In the great majority OF cases,
however, solid substance is found,
sometimes under circumstances which
make it impossible to doubt that 1T fur
nished the starting point for the attack.
There seems also to be distinct diff
ference of opinion among physicians as
to the length of time a case may con-
tinue. Some say, or at least imply, that
a mild irritation may exist for weeks
or months, while others consider that
the acute and brief stage is the only
one which deserves to be known under
the title of appendicitis. Hartford

Marble Made with EIectricitv,

The latest achievement of science is
the artificial production of marble from
pure calcium carbonate.
M. FL. lie Chatalier, French chemist,
takes the calcium in the form of an i'm
palpable powder and congresses it in a
steel cylinder between two pistons with
a pressure Of 1900 pounds to the square
inch. While in this condition platinum
spiral, previously imbedded in the pow
der, is heated by an electric current,
with the result that the powder in the
neighborhood of the wire is rendered
crystalline and translucent.
Sections Of the resulting substance
when examined underneath a microscope
exhibited the characteristics Of certain
specimens of slightly macled marble.
This remarkable work of the electric
current may prove the stepping stone to
greater achievements in the production
of artificial stone of all kinds.

There is a legend upon the statue
recently erected in Washington to the
memory of Gen. Shields which reads,
"Warrior, jurist, statesman" The
Pioneer Press, in a recent editorial
shows that he was neither jurist nor
statesman, and E. v Smally, in a
communication to the same paper,
shows That he was no warrior in the
sense OF being successful command
er, as he was failure as a general.
1t is unfortunate that those sapient
people could not have given all this
information before the statue was
erected, or else forever afterward held
their peace.

The decision in the case of the

clares the sale of certain pine lands
by Auditor Bierman to G. A. Smith &
Go. illegal, and annuls the sale. AS
a sample of what has been going on
for years, it conveys a good idea of
how the state has been swindled.
The timber on the land in question
was sold in an illegal manner for a
mere song it was disposed of for $500
per thousand, on an estimate of 700
600 feet, whereas the testimony proved
that there was nearly 100000 feet,

Gov. Llewelling, which, by the way,
is an L of name, has by proclama-
ton invited all the other tramps of
the country to make their winter
quarters in Kansas. That state has
suffered by drouth, populists, cyclones
and other natural and unnatural in
fictions, and now to have deluge of
hoboes is seemingly fit finale to a
series of unprecedented disasters. We
suggest, for the benefit of the rest of
the country, that this opportunity for
settling the whole tramp question be
improved by building Chinese wall
about this unfortunate common
wealth, 4he wall to be supplied with
gates that open inward, over each of
