Counting Gold Coin.

The counting of the money in the
vaults of the treasury at Washington
is not so troublesome or tedious task
as might be imagined. In counting
$40 gold pieces experience has shown
them to be so uniform that only one
pile is counted, and the rest of the
money is stacked and measured by
this pile until the last pile is reached,
when that also is counted. In this
way the counting proceeds rapidly.
Gold in smaller denominations is al
ways counted or weighed. Silver is
much more troublesome to count than
gold. New York Tribune.

The Growth of the Canning Industry.

Less than so years ago man in
Pennsylvania began putting up toma-
toes in cans at 80 cents a can. In
1887 the total output reached 72, 000,-
600 cans, and today it is S2,S08, 900
cans, of which considerably over half
are put up in the south, Maryland be-
ing the largest producer. The pro-
duction of canned corn has reached
$4,000, 900 cans, but in this branch the
south is not so large producer as it
should be, New York ranking first in
production and Maine second.
Tomatoes and corn lead, but nearly
everything else eatable is canned,
and not only is the home demand of
the United States supplied, but we
exported in 1892 over 81, 100000 of
canned goods. s.-New Orleans Times

American Merchantmen.
As rule, the Spanish-American
merchantmen were formidable float.
ing castles, They might carry $50 of
crew, with . company or two of
disciplined soldiers. They mounted
many guns of heavy metal The
.'muskctccrs" were freely furnished
with those bell-mOuthed trabucos
which belchcd out bullets by the
quarter bushel, and were excessively
disagreeable at close quarters; and
they were clothed in cuirasses of buff,
which would turn n ball. Tho poop
and the forecastle were solid forts,
and the former was furnished with
semicircular galleries, from which the
defenders could fire with command
ing precision. There were boarding
MEETINGS to be tFiced to the rigging;
and even at the waist, where the
sides were the lowest, boarding must
have been like scrambling up the side
of house.
If we turn, on the other hand, to
the light buccaneering craft, it
would seem there was no sort OF
equality. They were generally
schooners or brigautines of small
burdens, with tall bat tape?ing spars
carrying tremendous weight of can
vas. Their guns were necessarily
few. though one or two were formid-
able. The men at the most could not
be humorous, although packed away
above and below like herring5 Ill a
barrel.
Where they cxcelled was in sea-
manship and deXtcr0us maneuvcring,
In certain light minds they hal it all
their own way. If their luck was
good, the enemy's gunners would fire
wido 81 the small and shifting mark.
Their very audacitj often sa?ed them
disaster, for at the closest quarters
it was impossible to depress the guns
so as to do them serious damage
When they did board there was no
need to give the watchword-dc death
or victory. They were fighting not
only with ropes round their necks,
but with tnumbscrews and hot grid
irons in the more. remote prospective,
says Blackwood's Magazine. That
accounts for the animation they
threw into the attack, but we confess
we are still mystilod by the triumphs
that crowned their audacity. For
even the buccaneers never denied the
Spanish pluck, and the Spaniards
were likewise lighting for existence.

ST. LOUIS April 1.-THE new city
directory just published contains l9l,-
500 Names and indicates population
of 574, $50, allowing three persons to
computations of this kind to multiply
the names in the directory by three
and half, but this is probably less
accurate than the simple trebling of
the names. The c,nsus Of 1890 gave n
In that year the directory had 154, 900
names. Thus, assuming the directory
and government canvassers to have
peen correct in 1890, there must have
been an increase of over 100, 900 In the
population since that time There is
every indication that this is correct, as
an immense number of buildings have
been erected during the last two or
three years, in spite of which the rent
ing agencies experience great difficulty
in satisfying the demands of newcom-
ers for homes.
st. Louis is acknowledged to have
some of the best paved streets in the
content with success already attained
in this direction. A schedule has Just
been prepared by the Street Commits
,ioner including so large number Of
improvements as to embrace 200 miles.
1t will take ten years to carry out tho
plan, and when it is completed there
will be little left to desire in the way
Of good streets. The Boulevard sys-
Il, alx e
ing will be finished next year, and
will provide excellent driving ways
for light vehicles The acknowledged
weak point in the city streets are in
those running north and south, and
these will be attended to as soon as
the boulevards are finished.
One Of the pleasantest duties of the
new Mayors first day in Office was
an inspection of the new city hall
under the guidance of the architect.
The building will be finished and
turned over to the city this fall with
imposing ceremonies. Representatives
from all parts of the State will be in

A meeting of representative citizens
was held in the Mayors Office on Tues

measures to cudeavor to secure the
naming of enc of the new ships in

Navigation Company, est. Louis
The two popular vessels of this line
are now known as the Paris and New
York. and it is understood that the two
vessels now in course of construction
will have the names of two important
cities. Owing to the large amount of
trans "A lantic traffic both of business
men and tourists enroute for st. Louis,
it is believed that the company will ac-
cede TO the request and name one Of
the first American Grcyhounds con-
structed in an American dock yard

Attaches Have Had to Leave Washing-
ton Through Bad Behavior.


ton Through Bad Behavior.
1t is charged that the foreigners OF
the legations are the most dissipated
people in Washington. Some of the
young men, while favorGbly regarded
by the American girls, are looked
upon with more or less disapproval
by prudent mammas. Some of them
have behaved outrageously on &C.
casions, cheating their creditors,
getting into drunken rows and other
wise taking advantage of their i'm
munity from arrest and prosecution
for debt or other causes. According
to the law they are entirely exempt
from the jurisdiction, either civil or
criminal, of the United States au-
thorities, and If anybody ventures to
sue one of them for money due, that
person would be liable to fine and
three years. Imprisonment as a 'vio-
later of the laws of nations and dis
turber of the public repose." just
after the close of the civil war some
OF the diplomats stationed in Wash
ington made themselves exceeding
ly Objectionable. They thought
they could do about as they
pleased, and their insolence was car
ried to such a point that it was neces-
sary to check it, One of them is said
by the Washington Star to have &C.
cupied chair at german which be-
longcd to somebody else, and when
the hostess asked him to vacate IL
he replied:
81 decline to do so, madam. II is
absurd to suppose that one can en-
gage a seat at "a dance as if it were at
the theater.
In another instance foreign Sec
rotary made an offensive remark 10
a young lady and then put his foot
upon her dress to prevent her from
getting up and leaving him. II both
these cases the perpetrators of the
acts described were challenged i'm
mcdiately to fight several dueis, and
they fed from the city. 1t was only
during the last administration that
two members of q South American
legation made business OF getting q
y
with champagne. In consequence of
this affair they were recalled by their
government. A like fate eyentually
befell miscr and beat from a sister
American republic who locked up his
house to keep off creditors, paid no
body, cooked his own food and starved
bis family so that they had to apply
to neighbors for sustenance. But it
must be acknowledged that the for
eigners have had numerous reasons
whereof they might complain of the
people of Washington as barbarians.

petrlfici Forest, I'M Arjzon,.

The jasperized wood OF Arizona has
become well known by reason of tho
many cabinet specimens, paper
weights and decorative slabs of it
that are sent to the Eastern cities,
but this is by no means the only pet
rified forest in this country. In the
Hoodoo district of the Yellowstone
many stumps of trees are found con-
vcrted to stone, some Of them show.
ing knots, grain OF the wood and
bark as plainly as the living tree,
and the pebbly beaches Of the yell
lowstone river are strcwn with tons
of fragments Of fossil wood. In the
dreary desert of the Dakota bad
lands leaf impressions are frequently
found in the hardened clay, and at
Little Missouri, at tho point known
as the burning mountain, where a
coal seam has been on fire since no
body knows when, there are half a
dozen tree trunks about thirty feet
long. This is remarkable on ac-
count of the almost total lack of tree
life in this region at present
