Twenty-Five dollars found In the nest of q

microscope and carefully sorted out the whole

Newport, came to Mrs. Brown as n charred
mass Of paper, which she, however, identi-
fed.
When an express car is burned the safe is
sent, unopened, to the treasury department.
There it is opened by woman experts, who
empty the contents, often only mass of
ashes, and sift them through sieve. The
charred bits OF money arc then picked out
and submitted to microscopic examination.
Not long ago twenty-five tiny diamonds were
recovered by sitting the ashes third time
before burning them. The vaults are often
filled with the stencil OF money recovered
from dead bodies in pestilent districts, as
South. Such money is fumigated and no
diseases have ever been commune ated to en-
ployes.
Gold and silver are also counted by women,

Partisan Ch.t..ux.

On the stairway landings OF almost
every Parisian chateau there are
small tables designed to hold candles.
When guests arc saying goodnight
this table presents pretty picture.
The candles are of varied colors, the
can1lesticks of odd designs and the
lights are pleasantly softened by
colored shades. A green candle in a
silver candlestick, with a perfectly
formed pond lily for the shade, Is
but one of many novelties.

Fattcning for Market.

It is useless to try to raise all your
fcwls for the prize pen. Some Of them
are bound to be culls. So the best
plan is to weed out the less promising
stock at IN carly date.
Remove such birds-and especially
nll the imperfectly feathered or ill
shaped cockerels-frcm among their
mates. Place them, fifteen or twenty
together, in a closed coop, that is clean
and comfortable, for them to eat and
rest in, without crowding each other
Give them fresh water to drink, with
little cayenne pepper thrown into

them all they will eat up clean three
times day, upon boiled corn and wheat

one part of each; into which, while hot,
stir pound of common lard, beef tnl-
low, or chambers scraps (perfectly
sweet, mind), to six OF eight quarts Of

Feed this out when warm --have a
basin of coarse gravel handy, which
they will eat nj, they need of, to assist
digestion-occasionall mix little pow
dered charcoal in this soft food (which
latter is an excellent purifier, and
guards against the sour1ng of their
food in the crop and in two or three
weeks your birds will be at their best.
Kill, dress and market them, and thus
make the wisest disposal you can make
of all your surplus or undesirable
fowls.
While this process is going on, says
Grange Homes, it will be observed
that the birds are in close. compact
coops, open only in front. These may
be placed in the barn, or anywhere
most convenient for the time being

add forty more of matchless design
and beauty and fill them with people
from every nation and their most su-
perior products of mind and soil you
begin to realize what a colossal show
has been opened to the public at Chi
cago. The grounds on which the Fair
rests are on the lake, about a mile
and one.half long by three quarters
wide. Three years ago the site was a
marsh, but an expenditure of millions
of dollars has excavated one and
three-quarters miles in length Of
lakes, lagoons and basins, constructed
miles Of broad walks and sodded
hundreds of acres along the walks
and around the buildings, and other
wise by terraces, fountains and flow
ers transformed the marsh into a
park of unrivaled beauty. Of the
principal buildings, many of which
are six, seven and nine hundred feet
in length and of corresponding pro-
portion in width, with annexes, and
heights from $50 to $50 feet, their de-
signs are regarded by the best archi-
tects in this and foreign countries as
the very perfection of that art in
which Greece excelled and which, in
a later day, has been POLITICALLY called
frozen music"
The buildings are constructed of
wood or brick, with iron frames, and
plastered on the exterior with COM
position called "staff," which, it is
stated, is chiefly plaster of Paris. AS
all are consequently white except
the Transportation building, which
has been given many colors, the Fair
has been designated as the "White
City," When to all this beauty you
view the exhibits of history, art and
handicraft, hear the music of the
Thomas or Sousa orchestras, and wit
ness the thousands of men and wo-
men strolling over the walks or glid-
ing in gondolas or swift moving
electric boats on the lakes or lagoons,
you are likely to think that the
Athens of Pericles has been restored
on Lake Michigan, and all that is
mest perfect and beautiful in Paris of
to-day has been added to give it the
finish of modern life and develop
ment.

A sudden jump from Frankfort to
Cincinnati is bewildering, as every
one who has tried it is aware, but to
make the leap in one bound to Chica-
go is enough to set every wheel in
the head going at such speed as to
require month or more of solitude
and profound rest and quiet to bring
the entire machinery to its normal
motion. This will help to account
for my inability to tell the tenth part
of all I saw during my weeks soiourn
in the wonderful White and Windy
cities and probably be the means of
sparing the lives of some of the
faithful readers of the ROUNDABOUT.
On last Monday week ago l at
tended the meeting of the Kentucky
Press Association at Louisville where
the local fraternity had prepared a
programme for our entertainment
that called forth the warmest praise
of all the members. After recep-
ton by the Commercial Club and the
Courier-Journal and a banquet and
fine music at Phoenix Hill Park, ac-
companied by my wife, | boarded,
with the rest of the association, the
Pennsylvania train, formerly the j.
M. g. ~ on Tuesday morning, bound
for the Worlds Fair. The train was
in charge of Passenger Agent Charles
H. Haggerty who spared no pains to
look after the pleasure and comfort
of his guests. To show the splendid
condition of the road to the press
instructions has been issued to open
all switches and give the right of
way to our train, and that great dis
lance of nearly 400 miles was made
in seven running hours, speed that
has not been equaled by any western
railroad. Despite the rapidity with
which we passed telegraph poles and
stations, there was SO little jarring
and rocking of the cars that many on
the train were writing almost as well
as at home, and many were wholly
unconscious that we were actually
travelling at times at moro than a
mile a minute. At Indianapolis, a
dining car was attached to the train
and though there were only about
100 people OH board and accommoda-
tions at the tables for about 90 at
a sitting, we ran so fast that we ate
over the half of Indiana and bit off
the end of Illinois close up to the
limits of Chicago.

What will be the attitude of the rad
ical wing Of the Democracy toward
the money question:"
81 don't know. We have not consult
ed upon this matter, but my opinion is
that the Sherman law will be repealed
and this country will always maintain
the gold standard. There are two ele-
ments that make up the silver party
the men who own tile silver mines and
the men who want more silver in circu-
lation. When the free silver bill first
came up for consideration it came within
one vote of passing, but upon every sue
ceedlng vote the forces dwindled, and it
seems to me there is no hope for free
silver. The representatives of the sill
yer mines are as Staunch as ever, but
the fellows who simply want more
money are beginning to doubt that
free silver will be the panacea for
the ills they complain OF. Ii
were to make guess ia say that the
gold standard will be maintained; that
the Wall street influence will concede
reasonable increase in the paper cur
rency of the country; that this will be
satisfactory to the South, and that the
silver bullion which is being heaped up
In the treasury at the rate of 100000
ounces year will be sold for what it
will bring. One thing is certain, the
country has grown tired of buying sill
yer from the mine owners simply to
hoard it up. For it is clear this silver
cannot be regarded as reserve; our
currency is backed by the gold reserve
we are OH gold basis, and it would
be quite as sensible to pile up mount
ain of copper or lead as silver"
But the money question is regarded
by MIR. johnson as of secondary import
ance. He says the decentralization OF
silver was manifestly unjust to great
many people, but there is no use trying
to right that wrong. The people who
suffered then would not be the ones to
benefit by its reconciliation To-Day. In
governmental matters, he says, the
future and not the past is to be looked
to. Zone tomorrow is worth thousand
