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
til you got IL and 4 showed IL back on you,
see? Now you know ii is counterfeit, you'll
naturally get rid of il the first chance you
get, probably on a horse car conductor; he II
give IL in change to some woman, and she'll
put IL on SO quick your head'n swim. There
are SO many CT these bad nickels and so
little thought of it that they co. 1t takes

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

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

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
the Chicago exhibition, delivered an ad.
dress touching upon this subject which at.
tracted much attention. The ministry FOL
instruction has also decreed that married
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"

Manufacture Hardwood Furniture
Orders Already on FiIe--How it Will
be Done,

The Korshus & Nostdahl Company
at No. 612 and GA North Front street,
manufacturers of hardwood fur
niture and fixtures recently suspen-
ded, is to be recognized at once
with capital of $4,000 to $4,000.
A preliminary meeting was held
yesterday afternoon for the purpose OF
getting the company on sound basis,
and it may be said today that the
new organization is practically an as
sured fact.
1t is proposed that stock company
. be formed with the capital stated by
a partnership of as many business men
as will buy block of its paper, no
matter how small, and within few
. DAYS the merchants will be called up
, on by a committee from the new con-
Germ with the view to induce them to
go into the scheme, and it is hoped
that it will be favorably received.
A well-known business man, who

matter for the best of reasons, said to
a FREE PRESS reporter this morning
''Both the members of the old firm
SWere excellent workmen, but they did
mot have sufficient capital to carry ON
their business.
"We propose to go into the manu-
facture of hardwood furniture on a
large scale. The product will consist
,of bank, office and bar furniture and
fixtures, and we have no fears about
selling all that we can make. Even
how, while the new company is in its
primary stage, there are large mum
ber of orders awaiting the resumption
of business.
"The capital required to conduct
the business is quite small but the
demand for the manufactured article
US quite sufficient to pay liberal in

BOB DUNN comes out of the race
with 72,142 over Bierman. This
would seem to prevent a possible con-
test. There is, however, some inter-
esting figures if the Globes table is
reliable. For instance, Nelson's total
vote, so far as returns have been re-
ceived and corrected, is AS, 086. Dunn,
IA, 1856. Nelson's vote over Dunn $50.
Becker received a total vote of SO, PAP,
while Bierman received -, 14S. Owens
total vote is "a, 1914, to 81, 122 for Strom-
berg, Populist candidate for auditor.
These deductions show that Gov. Mel
son has a majority over Owen and
Becker of 1919, while the combined
vote of Bierman and Stromberg is
5,0S5 less than the total vote received
by Mr.. Dunn.
