NEW PUBLICATIONS.

money, Silver and Finance" is a book
by j. Howard Cowperthwait (G. p. Put
nam's Sons, New York and London).
The author introduces himself as a busi-
ness man who argues the silver question
from principles underlying the operation
of what is called business. Very evil
IDENTIFY he has been a student of finance,
and certainly he writes from conviction.
He opposes the views of the silver
theorists in the main, and is notably
strong in his opposition to the free coin
age doctrine and favOrs stopping buying
silver and commencing to sell. 1t is a
thoughtful and vigorously written vol
ume of nearly go octave pages by man
who certainly knows something of the
practical side of business lie and finan-
cial policies. He makes many truths
plain that have been confused and obsure
TO the masses of the people. We esteem it
a very valuable contribution to the finan-
cial educational evolution now going on.
That the work has passed to a second
edition and has had the commendation of
foremost financial students, speaks of the
hold it has taken upon public thought.
Electric Railway Engineering" is a

killing Off a silly Fashion.

At the garrison town of Maria Theresi-
anopel, in Hungary, the ladies have been
getting into the habit of taking with them
to the theater plush bags of various sizes
and colors, in which they keep all their
paraphernalia, such as opera glasses,
sweets, handk kerchiefs, smelling bottles,
etc. The sight of q row OF these recep-
tacles dangling over the ledge Of the dress
circle and boxes was, to say the least,
peculiar: while the incessant mauipula-
ton of these ornamental appendages by
their fair owners had the effect of divert
ing the attention of the audience from the
proceedings OH the stage. To make mat
ters worse, the fashion caught on"
among the lower classes, and Biddy,
strolling in the park at the side of the
faithful trooper, was sure 10 have plush
bag swinging on her hand.
Last week and for several nights in
succession the officers of the Hussars
ouartered at Nj bought up all the front
seats in the boxes and dress circle and
turned up at the performance carrying on
their arms an ordinary forage bag, some-
what less than the usual size, which they
slung over the ledge in imitation of the
ladies. The Joke created no little amuse-
ment and roars of laughter shook the
house when the officers produced from
their bags opera-glasses, monocles,
sweets. handkerchiets, and here and
there tobacco pouch or snuff box.
Since then the plush bags have disap-
peared from the burger

Chicken Thief Shot

William Lee, notorious colored thief, ia
lying at the city jail in Lynchburg, suffering
from gunshot wounds in both legs, the result
of raid on Mr.. w. O. Taylor's henuery, in
Rivermont Mr. Taylor had lost many chick
ems, but waited until the third time when
his latest pulets had disappeared to FIX
things for the next thief He secured an
electric bell and the necessary wire, and
thereby established communication between
his chamber and henhouse by the bell hang
ing Immediately over his door 1t was 5. IS
in the morning when William Lee opened
the door of the henhouse, and second latter
Mr.. Taylor was aroused. Without thought
OF clothes. lut an eye to business, he gath
cred up his gun and loaded both chambers.
He repaired to the yard. and MS he approached
the henhouse the thief was observed to leave
1t with his arms full of chickens Taylor
ordered him to halt. but the negro took to
his heels, when Taylor fired. with the result
as stated.

Ventilation.

Just as sure as man begins in the
poultry business with a number Of
fancy chickens, he wants "a nice hen
house with cupola on it," which he
explains to you, is for fresh air. In
this many make a grave mistake,
says r. X. James in the Portland
Transcript, as top ventilation in
hen-house Is of more injury than no
ventilation at all. Especially is this
so in winter. Hot air is lighter than
cold, and consequently rises to the
ceiling. When there is an opening
in the ceiling this air escapes and the
cold air takes its place. Under these
circumstances it can easily be seen
that hen-hOuSe with top yentila-
tion is always a cold one In winter.
When ventilatOrs are put n they
should come down to within one foot
of the floor, and will then take out
foul air without removing the warm
air. Most houses in this country
need no ventilation, as they are open
enough to insure a good circulation
of fresh air at all times. If as much
attention was paid to getting warm
houses by the average farmer as there
is no ventilation there would be less
complaints of swelled heads, roup,
and many other diseases too numer.

n policeman, formerly town sergeant OF
Keysyile, Halifax county. Melhorn had
been on protracted spree, on account Of
which Mr.. Matson, whose sister Mehorn
married, severed business relations with
him. Melhorn entered the company's room,
on Jefferson street, and struck j. B. Tower,
who had been placed in charge. A warrant
was sworn out, but Melhorn went home and
was allowed to remain there Next morning
he returned to the store and Tower went out
and asked. Gee to remove him. The officer
attempted to do this but Melhorn resisted
Gee used his club once, but Melhorn took it
from him and gave him a terrible beating
over the head. Gee, while reclining, drew
his revolver and fred five shots at Melhorn,
three entering his breast, one OF them pas
sing clear through the body. Melhorn
turned toward the back door, when another
bullet entered his back, and still another his
left arm. Gee claims that he did the shoot
ing from his knees alter he fell Mehorn,
after being shot, started for the front door,
but fell dead, with his head resting on the
sill. The coroner's jury found verdict In
accordance with the above facts, whereupon
Gee was placed under arrest.

Disadvantage OF Richness

A specially rich strike Of silver ore
in the west is not so profitable to the
owner Of the mines as an outsider
might suppose, partly because it costs
more weight for weight to transport
rich ore than poor ore from the mine
to the smelling furnace. When a
mine owner asks railway company
to run in spur to his mine and seeks
to make terms for transportation the
first question in reply is: Show
much does your ore assay" The
railways charge per ton is In pro-
portion to the value of the ore.

Vroom and Car engaged a room at
the best hotel.
The first morning after their ar
rival, as master and dog passed
through the corridor, they heard the
hotel clerk hail bell-boy and ask If
the dog had spent the night in the
hotel. When the bell-boy admitted
that he had, the proprietor shouted:
swell, don't let that occur again. !"
Gar and De Vroom waited for a few
moments and then sauntered up to
the desk. De VroOm asked for his
bill. The hotel CLERK looked aston
ished.
why, but I thought you were go
ing to stop week, sir. Have you
any complaint, sir?"
ooh, no." replied De Vroom care
lessly, Il am quite satisfied. It's my
dog that's kicking"
