The Money That Circulatcs Fastest.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
'.Helloi that's bogus" said ticket agent,
passing back q well-worn nickel
The coin looked to me exactly like the
regular thing, and 1 was curious to know
how the ticket man could tell IL on sight.
"Oi:, it's easy enough" he said. Feel II. -
1 felt il. 1 couldn't feel any thing but the
price of one beer in IL. Then i took out
another nickel and felt that. They looked
alike. only the spurious coin was more
worn than the genuine.
That's because they circulate faster
than good Ones" said the ticket man.
Counterfeit bills and counterfeit coin, -
continued the philosopher. ARE apt to wear
out quickly. You see. people always and.
very naturally, want to get rid of them.
Some man got that nickel you just gave
me, don't you know, and he showed IL out
Immediately, the fellow who got ii passed
IT on IS soon as possible, and the next fel-
low bought something with it. and so on I'M

naturally get rid of il the first chance you
get, probably on a horse car conductor; he II

Aluminium Threads I'm Cloth.


Some new textile fabrics are now beint
produced. the novel feature of which con
sists in weaving or INTERVENING threads Of
aluminium, or alloys of it, with the mate
rial used, in some cases employing thai
metal alone. for the purpose of making
the cloth. Gold and silver threads hav,
been employed in the manufacture of fame,
cloths, as Is well known, but only or prin
cipally for the purpose Of ornament and
not as n means of insuring greater strength
and durability. The present invention pro
vides a practically non-oxidizable, inexpen
sive metal that can be utilized in quaint
ties in cheap cloth. and which can bt
washed without fear of injury. II is claim
ed that cloth made wholly or partly OF this
material will be free from chemical action,
as few substances affect il. An attractive
luster is obtained. which renders the fabric
very ornamental. and there is the addition

applicable to the finest fabrics and to the
heaviest. The wire or threads can be

What a Baby Can Do.

From the Philadelphia Press.
1t can wear out a pair of kid shoes I'm
less than twenty-four hours.
1t can simultaneously occupy both sides
of the largest bed made
1t can make itself look like fend Just
when Its mother wants to show It off.
1t can go from the furthest end of the
nursery to the top of the stairs quicker
than its mother can step into the next room
and back again.
1t can cause its father to be insulted by
every third-rate lodging house keeper In a
seaside resort, vino never takes children, {"
which in nine cases out Of ten is fortunate
for the children.
These are some OK the things e baby can
do. But there are other things as we'll. A
baby can make the commcnest house the
brightest spot on earth. 1t can tighten the
burdens Of a loving mothers life by adding
to them. 1t can flatten its dirty little face
aginst the window pane In such a way that
the tired father can see 1t as a picture be-
fore he rounds the corr er. Yes, babies are
great institutions, particularly ones own
baby.

Women I'm Medical Colleges.


The erection of faculty for medicine fol
women in St. Petersburg is now insured
the superior council having approved OF the
plan which has been made by the ministry
for instruction. There has already existed
one medical college for women in St Peters
burg, but this was closed ten years ago al
the instance of the authorities. That a new
move is now being made in the same d.rec-
ton is, il Is considered. principally due tc
the exertions OF Prince Wilkowskij, who al

tracted much attention. The ministry FOL

women will not be allowed to study at the

Lord Dc imam and His Halter,

From the LNrdon Star.
This old story is told of the late Lord Den
man, who, On being reminded by a west-end
halter that a small account was overdue
visited the shop and gave the manager a
legal reply to the request for payment.
'You state he said, solemnly, as he stood
over him, shaking his finger at him as
though warning him to be careful, that
this account is overdue. Remember that a
bill of exchange or bill of acceptance may
become overdue, but a bridesmaids account
never. A gentleman pays when he thinks
he will, or when he has the money. But, to
show that no ill-feeling exists, / will pay
the account and take another hat"

THE "BALTIMORE PLAN"

When the bankers Of the country
this fall met at Baltimore in annual
convention the scheme was unfolded,
and after considerable opposition re-
ce.ved the sanction of the convention.
Briefly stated, it is modification OF
the state bank issue of money, found
ed upon national credit. The gen.
eral government shall cease practical.
~, to issue money. Indeed, banks
throughout the country shall issue
money to the amount of one half
their paid-up, unimpared capital.
The bureau of engraving shall do the
work. For instance a bank with q
paid-up, unimpaired capital of $780,
QUO shall secure $4,000 additional
from the bureau of engraving and
printing. This will give the bank
$4,000 in money to loan the people
at good round rate III interest. In
times OF commercial stress o. when
there is an unusual stress demand
Tor money, an additional $25,
QUO can be printed and issued by the
bank. Thus with a capital of 100000
capitalist by starting a bank can
really control minimum Of 100000
and a maximum of $4,000.
In return, the bank will pay an an
nual tax of one half of one per cent
into the United States treasury on the
issue of $4,000. In other words,
for the use of S50,O00, the bank
will pay the government the sum Of
$3.50 annually. If the bank issues the
additional $4,000 in currency, the
government will assess a much heavi-
er annual tax. This is supposed to
act ms safety against over. issuing
on the part of banks and will also
guarantee the country an imitation of
ITS currency when needed most. The
tax paid by the banks is held by the
treasury department. II bank fails

TO IMPEACH JUDGE RICKS.
Labor Union Memorial Presented to
the House by Tom Johnson.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Elm the House,
to-day, Tom l.. Johnson. of Ohio, as a mat
ter of privilege, presented the memorial of
the Central Labor Union of Cleveland pray
ing for the impeachment of Augustus J.
Kicks, United States judge of the Northern
district OF Ohio. The memorial recited the
charges against Judge Kicks, alleging mis-
appropriation of fees amounting to 1865.
and alleging other "crimes, misdemeanors
and corruption" for which impeachment
proceedings were prayed.
Mr.. Grosvenor stated that in his opinion
the charges arose out of a misunderstand-
ing. He knew nothing personally about the
facts, and did not want 10 interfere with a
full investigation. but he thought it would
'be a matter of profound surprise TO the
bar of Ohio If any stain was found on the
orial was referred to the committee on ju-
dietary.
The petition for the impeachment of Judge
Kicks is a voluminous document giving in
detail the charges that the Judge, between
Sept. 10. 1859. and Dec. q. 1891. converted
TO mis- own use various sums aggregating

KURINO.
The New Japanese Minister to This
Country Educated Mt Harvard.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. Immediately
after the announcement of the recall of
Mr.. Coco Tateno as japanese minister to
this country, it was stated that Mr.. Ken
taro Kaneko had been appointed to this
position. This was an error, due, ii is
supposed, to a mistake in transmission of
the name. A telegram was received at the
Japanese legation to-day announcing the
appointment of Mr.. Shinichiro Kurino,
Chief of the Diplomatic Bureau of the
Department Of Foreign Affairs, to be
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo-
tertiary to the United States. Mr.. Kurino
was one of the students who were sent TO
this country by the government of Japan
as soon as that government decided upon
the policy of sending young men abroad
to pursue the course of studies in colleges
and universities of Europe and America.
Some twenty years ago, when Mr..
Kurino had thoroughly mastered the En-
glish language, he devoted himself to the
study of law in the Cambridge Law School
at Harvard. Subsequently upon his re-
turn to Japan he received an appointment
in the Department of Foreign Affairs,
where he especially dealt with matters in
he interested himself in the postal ad-
ministration. and while holding an i'm
portant position in the imperial Depart
ment of Communications, inaugurated
many improvements in the postal and tel
egraph service of the Japanese govern
ment. In the summer of 1891, when certain
-..ises Were introduced in the organiza-
ION of the Department of Foreign Affairs,
he was appointed chief of the Diplomatic
Bureau. Within the last three years many
important questions have a-isen in the
international relations Of Japan, including
the abrogation of the consular jurisdiction
clause of the treaty concluded with
Portugal, claims against the Corean gov
eminent for damages accruing from GER
tain ALLEGED arbitrary actions nf the local
authorities of that country and the present
difficulty eliminating In the declaration of
war between Japan and China. In all
these questions Mr.. Kurino has figured
prominently. His abilities and high char
acter are recognized. not only by his own
government, but also by the officials of the
foreign governments whose duties have
brought them into contact with him. In
a social way he is a remarkably amiable
gentleman, and in the Toxic Club, i'm which
is represented not only the high culture.
learning and wealth of Japan, but also
the most exclusive of the foreign element
in Japan, including the diplomatic corps
to the imperial court of Toxic, he has al
ways figured as a ~favorite.
