CAPRlvI THE SOLDIER.
His Devotion to Duty-Hiis Army Corps
His Inspiration.

1t is doubtful whether Won Caprivi
would give up the chancellorship with
any deep regret for the Office. Shortly
after his appointment as Prince Bis
marck's successor. he remarked to
friend at is only because am a sol
der, aud because il is my duty TO obey
my superior officer, that | am chancel-
Tor ot the empire to-day" Dlty inn
presses one as being the keynote of his
character, while his inspiration was his
army corps In reply to congratula-
tions upon his maiden speech in the
Reichstag, he said: But a soldier is
not an orator. Have you ever thought
of the three men in the world who
must move the hearts and emotions Of
their fellow men-the preacher, the
poet and the soldier? TO the preacher
and the poet are given all the wealth
and power of language; but the SOL
der, he who must move men TO the
death before them. has naugnt but the
words of command" As he spoke his
whole face was lighted with an enthu-
siasm that made it easy to recognize
how such soldier-leader could inspire
his regiments.
At the beginning of his chancellor.
ship he spoke very little f nglish, but
read it with ease, being especially fond
of George Eliot's novels. Busy as have
been his three years in office he has
found time to devote to the practice OF
speaking English. and has made decid-
ed progress His knowledge of for.
eign lands has been much gained from
books, from men and from a stern
experience.
Once at dinner when the subject of
uniforms was being discussed, he said.
''Sinee taking off my little black con-
firmation coat | have worn no other
but that of my uniform, save on one
occasion. when | was hidden to a hunt
by the old emperor.
when travelling in foreign lands.
though, how could You have worn your
uniform" questioned his neighbor at
table.
With a quiet smile he answered:
-Four times in my life have / been out
of Germany. Once | went to Italy on
a special mission when my uniform was
required; once | was summoned to the
deathbed of a friend in Switzerland,
and, having no other clothes. was
given permission to wear my uniform.
Once ] went into Austria and once /
went into France-but those were DAYS
when uniforms were not left behind"
Caprivi is not Bismaclx. but in spite
of the oyershadowing fame of his great
predecessor he has filed the Office with
strength and ability. Germany NAV
well be proud of such a man. whose
honesty of purpose none could doubt,
whose ambition was for his country
only, and whose untiring effort has al
ways been to give her faithful service

ODD THINGS ABOUT CENTS.
Among Other Things They Are Quite Elk
tensiveIy Counterfeited.

Among Other Things They Are Quite Ex-
tensiyeIy Counterfeited.
From time to time one sees references
in the daily papers, referring to the
difficulty experienced by the ferry COM
panies, car lines, etc, in disposing of
enormous aecumulations of ordinary
copper cents. The reader is very apt
to remember this. particularly if in ex-
change for a dollar bill he is returned
ninety-five one-cent pieces by con-
ductor.
AS matter of fact, there is no excuse
for the item, much less for a car con-
ductor or change talIer in unloading
his weight of copper upon the always
more or less abused passenger. The
United States sub-treasury, at Wall
and Nassau streets, makes, and has
made it a practice for years, of ex-
changing minor coin for United States
money of large denomination, and it
has many regular customers who are so
served.
There are a number of curious things
about cents as they come to the sub
treasury In the first place, they are
quite extensively counterfeited. This
may seem strange, as the profit in a
counterfeit cent is necessarily small.
IL is true, however, nevertheless. and
is supposed to be the work of Italians,
who, more largely than any other ma
tionality, seem TO favor the imitation
of our minor and subsidiary coin.
The Brooklyn and New Jersey ferry
companies, the elevated railroads of
both New York and Brooklyn and the
various slot machine companies are
regular customers for the exchange of
cents for other money at the sub-treas-
ury. At times they turn in enormous
quantities, the slot companies alone
ranging between one hundred and
dollars day.
As might be expected, all sorts of
oddities in the way of coin come in
with the quantity taken in the ma
chimes. In addition TO the counterfeits
are scores of mot one cents of war
times, metal discs and foreign copper,
Austrian money predominating. As the
copper cent is simply a token. no mat
ter what its condition is, it is redeemed
at par if it can in any way be identi-
fed as United States money.
The popularity of the slot machines
year or SO ago brought about a
curious condition of affairs in the
country. This was nothing short of a
cent famine" The headquarters of
the company is in New York. and all
the agents sent their cents here for
red I. rnptiOn which drained the conn
try of its supply and overstocked the
minor coin vaults of the sub-treasury
here with cents. N. " Herald.

Public documents are not always sc
interesting 10 the general reader as
they might be, but the criticism will
not apply to the annual report of the
managers of the New York state re-
formatory, where young boys are COM
mittej for offtnses against the law. In
this report the managers express the
conviction that of all the forms of dis
cipiine for young felons the most sal
utary, and at the same time the most
humane, is that known by the good,
old-fashioned name of spanking. At
tention is called to the fact that the
records of the institution are replete
with instances where a spanking has
initiated a course of improved conduct
and better character growth, wonder
fully like what is ordinarily termed
moral regeneration. The benefits of
this treatment are not confined to
penal institutions, however. There are
a great many useful and prosperous
citizens who are able to date their up
