4 o. For Nntiye shrubs.

"You cannot sag too much in favor OF
planting our native shrubs says Professor
Stiles. the editor of Garden and Forest.
There is the spice bush Of our northern
woods, and the black birch, the red bud
and the cornels, and the bird cherry, and
the magnolia Of our coasts; magnolia
glauca. one of the most beautiful of all the
magnolias known.
Chinese varieties blossom on bald stems
before there is a sign Of leaves, and they
look as if they had the hair off. but our
magnolias come out. the creamy white
blossoms among the glossy new leaves, fill
ing all the air with fragrance There is
nothing like it.
"Our native laurels are beautiful shrubs,
and our crabapple and oak leayed hydran-
yea of the Allegheny mountains. The
mountains that run down into Virginia
and Carolina are the home Of the richest va
rieties, but every neighborhood has some
things worth finding and growing"

The domestic Service Question.

The problem Of domestic service IL one
that is OF the greatest interest 70 all house
teeners. On this Lucy c. Lille gives her
views in Goaeys. She regards the dlficui,
ties experienced in obtaining efficient ana
faithful household servants as due TO a
faulty system Attic present time servants
arc regarded too much as machines ana
there 4 too little real sympathy between
them and theiremployers. in former tunes,
when servants were help the Gihiculties
that are now encountered did not exist
HRS. Lille writes;
There was a time in which the mistress
Of the house was its caretaker as wen, ner
maids or 'maidens' were rs much her
charge as her own children, ana they II
turn treated her gentle rule as It deserved.
To be ia domestic service was honoraoie'
ns IL should be. Quitting position for any
reason, man or woman carried with them
the good will OF the employer and generally
speaking the friendship OF the family.
That there will be any change for the
batter until Old methods are reverted 70

PHILADELPHIA, Aug s.-1he present

mind all former periods of financial disor-

schemes for furnishing the country with

tinental money" was issued during the war
Of the Revolution, and this currency was
never redeemed at par The first issue took
place In 1875, and SIS, 100000 of it was issued
by the end Of the following year. The col
lections made in various ways by the con-
tinental government Cancelled about one
half OF the total amount so that IL is not
likely that more than S200,0O0000 was in
circulation at any one time. 1t did not
reach that amount until it had so depreci-
ated that congress was obliged TO take 1t
in and reissue il at the rate OF 40 10 ia
specie.
1t kept nearly at par during the first
year. but it gradually fell in the public es-
timation until one time $1,000 of 1t was Of
fered for 81 in coin, and after that it ceased

like. Congress at one time offered to ex-
change loan certificates for the deprecated
paper at 80 to /, the same ratio as coin was
offered at, but as the loan certificates them
selves had fallen to eight for one this plan
induced very few holders Of the paper TO
take advantage Of 1t.
In 1859, when the present constitution was
formed. these loan certificates and various
other evidences Of the governments debt,

WEST Porsr. Oct 2s-About 1850 persons witnessed
tho Yale Point game here this afternoon. Yales
team composed largely OF subsitutes but this in
wise accounts for their loose play. Yale exhibited
no team play nor interference. The game was prob
ably tho worst exhibition OF football that the Yale
team has given In years. Game was called at $50
O'Clock. West Point having tho ball. They used the
flying wedge and gained ten yarda They were not
able to buck Yales centre from material gains. and
they lost tho bail on four downs Eaton bucked the
centre for sixty yards and scored Yaes nrst touch
down. Hickok kicked the goal On the kick on West
Point gained eight yards; Yale held them well and
they lost the bail Yale took tho ball from the twenty
Vineyard line and scored by short rush throu Oh
centre. Ilickok kicked the goal
West Point fumbed on the wedge. and Hinkey got
the ball and scored with clear fed. IIickok Jailed
at the goal on the line up West Point played well and
Yale fumbled mserably the ball changing hands
several times Eaton. liickok. and McCrea male tell
ing gains for Yale. and Eaton scored again for Yale
Ickok kicked the goal Time called with the at
~ to o In favor OF Yale.
When the second half opened Yale lost tho ball on
downs. and West Point made continued gains and
came dangerously near scoring Yale got the ball and
by short PUSHES got a touch down. For Yale IInkey
played his usual game. and Stacy Carson, and Ames
did good work for West Point The teams lined up as
