CREsTs AND THEIR ORIGIN.

They We're Used = ar Tack IN A-cient
Times-Soiue ~ the More Notable.
Crests are asCribud to the Cariaus and
they are Of very ancient origin. They
are mentioned by Homer and Virgil
and described as IN use among the
heather gods and r}ddesses. Thus the
crest 10 Minerva's helmet was an owl.
Mars bore lion or tiger and Jupiter
Ammon rams head. These symbols
were formerly Placed on the helmet
and were great marks Of honor, only
worn by heroes of great valor or by
those who were advanced to some su-
perior military command. Richard /.
had crest on his helmet resembling a
plume of feathers: Richard H. wore a
lion on q cap of dignity above the
crown on his helmet; Alexander Ill, OF
Scotland, had plume of feathers, and
James /. wore q lion. In the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries, according to
the Brooklyn Eagle, the crest was de-
scribed as being figure placed upon q
wreath. coronet or cap of maintenance
above the helmet or shield. A crest
was anciently worn on the heads of
commanders in the field. and then only
in order to distinguish them from their
followers. After the institution of the
order of the garter. and in imitation OF
Edward Ill all knights companions OF
the order began to wear crests. This
practice soon became more general, and

The President and Cabinet Considering
 Currency Reform-Secretary Carlisle's
 Ideas.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The subject of currency reform has been under con- sideration by President Cleveland and the cabinet since the beginning of his present administration. It was dis cussed freely in the report of the sec retary of the treasury at the opening of the present congress, but at that time the evils resulting from the oper. ations of the Sherman law for the pur- chase of silver caused the president to direct attention to the repeal of that law, and it was given precedence before all other questions at the extra session of congress. At the regular session the tariff monopolized the attention of con- gress. These questions having now been practically disposed of it is un. derstood that the secretary of the treasury will renew his recommenda. tions for reforms in the currency legis- lation, and that chapter of the presi- dents message will be devoted to that subject. It was to this that the presi- dent referred in the statement which he gave to the press Wednesday night, wherein he said that he would indorse and support whatever financial scheme the secretary of the treasury may formulate and present.
 It is clear from the remarks of the secretary in his report to congress in December, 1893, that he will favor leg. islation by which the treasury depart. ment shall cease to be charged with the duties and responsibilities of bank of issue and the function of bank of deposit. It is understood that the secretary will present scheme for the consideration of congress which will contemplate the retirement of all of the existing forms of national cur rency and relegate to the banks the is. suing of notes for the transaction of the business of the country, such issue to be under the strictest governmental Superyision

TIMBER FIRES.
They Are Doing Much Damage in Colorado,
 Many Mining Camns RaInR Desf frnYed.

Many Mining Camps Being Destroyed.
 BOULDER, Col, Nov. 16.-Fire in a saw mill west of the mining camp of Ward, starting Wednesday night, spread to the timber and has been do- ing great damage, and yesterday morn- ing caused intense excitement here by reason of sensational reports to the effect that the mining camps of Ward and Gold Hill had been burned to the ground. Ward, however, did not suffer, but Gold Hill was, at late hour yes terday afternoon, burning, and other camps are threatened.
 The fire started just west of Ward in the heavily timbered districts, and swept through the dry timber with ter rible rapidity, and settlers along it's path were forced to leave their cot tages and cabins to burn and to get in- to the camps.
 The property loss cannot at present be told, but it will amount to over 3D. 100000. There will necessarily be great destitution. A courier reports the de- struction of about one-half of the prop erty of Camp Talcott and the Prussian mine and mill.
 The timber around Gold lake has been swept bare by the flames. The ranch of MT. Ely at Lefthand was com pletely destroyed and MT. Ely was badly burned about the face and hands. MT. Seaman, whose ranch was burned, also suffered injuries.
 Fred Ehler's property near Sunset was burned and Ehler was found un- conscious in an outbuilding, where he had gone to save something. He is se- riously burned.
 Women and children are continually arriving in this city for protection, and the scene is one of excitement and de- struction. Teamsters from Ward, Gold Hill and Sunshine are bringing the panic stricken people from the burning districts, which include Camp Talcott, Sunset, Copper Rock, Lefth and and Gold Hill.
 Sunset will be wiped out before morning if the wind continues to blow in the direction it does now. Cooper Rock is in imminent danger and Salina will meet the same fate. Gold Lake, fishing and summer resort, situated about miles west of Gold Hill, is en- tirely burned out and nothing is left of the pretty cottages.

Interrnpting Nature.

Taking mankind at large, perhaps we should find them accounting for the phenomena of nature quite as much from their feelings as from reason. Minds of the most practical bent are often the most servile slaves to prejudice. The attitude of the Mo. hammedan mind toward modern sci entiflc inquiry is shown by little oolloquy between an Algerian kabyle and an English artist who reports the conversation:
 On one occasion a group of kabyles was standing around, when abruptly left off working, and began gathering my painting traps together, ''for," " said l, 1T see the wind is blowing the clouds in this direction; it will rain. 7"
 "The wind does not push the clouds" said one; you can see them moving in different directions at the same time"
 But surely" said I, you can per ceive any day that it is the wind that moves taem."
 "Does the wind move the sun?" said he.
 No, of course, it doesn't"
 ''God said to the sun: Move always in one direction, and to the clouds He said: Move about us you please
 ''Is not that SOP" said he, appealing to his companions. Compan. ion.

supervision was no longer needed in order to have her work properly done, and that, in fact, it was useless to issue orders where everything was an. ticipated, she gave herself up to the conviction that she had done a very wise thing indeed.
 As for Helen, she had the satisfacv m of knowing that her work was well done, and that the matters Mrs Ogden had feared would prove unpleasan were gradually adjusting themselves, as she had predicted. She had a com fortable. room where her privacy was never intruded upon, she had more leisure than she would have had as clerk in any establishment, and she had the security and protection of a home.
 The family soon learned that their wishes were none the less consulted because they had a refined woman as household servant, instead of mix. ture of ignorance and coarseness In fact, Mrs. Ogden was heard to declare to friend that it was much more comfortable to know that her cook spent her spare time in reading the last magazine instead of gossiping over the back fence with her neigh bor's help.
 As the influence of Helen's quiet, un. obtrusive manner became thoroughly felt, she became more trusted friend of the family than hired dependent; and few would have suspected that the intelligent, lady-like girl, who could frequently be seen in the parlor with the family, to whom the children always turned for assistance in enter. taining their friends, was none other than the conscientious, brave-hearted girl who presided in the kitchen as gracefully as she did wherever she was thrown.
 "Go to Miss Howard" Ask Miss Howard" became household words; and when, at the close of year, Grace Blair attended the marriage of her best friend to the eldest son of Judge Ogden, she acknowledged that almost the impossible had been achieved, and an intelligent, cultivated woman had been taken at her true worth, in spite of having rendered what the world dubs 'menial service" As for the judges son, he insisted that he had taken the most effective way to keep the cook in the family.

SMITHS REPORT.
rhs Paymaster-Generai Makes Ills Annual
 Statement.


 statement.
 w AsHINeToN, Nov. l7.--Paymaster General Smith, in his annual report to the secretary of war calls attention to the fact that the soldiers deposits have increased S79,5sa during the year, n gratifying increase in view of the fact that the deposits had been falling off in preceding years, and of the further fact that soldier with deposit ac- count rarely leaves the service without an honorable discharge. The expend- itures on account of the pay of the army show an increase of $275, ,653 over the preceding year, due, in part, to the fact that the enlisted force was more nearly kept at its maximum limit The fact that the expenditures on account of pay of volunteers were $493, ,653 less than last year is taken as an indication that these claims are being exhausted. The paymaster-general questions the beneficial effects of the system of with holding portion of the soldiers pay until he is discharged. The travel al- lowance of the soldier is ample to take him home when discharged and it is not necessary to withhold pay for that purpose. Any system which makes the soldier a dependent detracts from his manhood and efficiency. Many men enlist being told that their pay will be $13 per month, only to find that, through deductions on account of clothing and withhold pay, two or three months must elapse before he can receive any pay. He regards this as breach of contract and deserts. Therefore, it is recommended that the system, which is cumbersome, compli- cated and absolute, be abolished. It is also recommended that there be but one common pay chest for the army, and that all disbursements be made through the bonded officers of the pay corps, instead of being divided up be- tween non-bonded disbursing officers, who last year distributed half of the army appropriations.

Destructive Fires in Winnipeg,

WINNIPEG, Man, Nov. 17.-Between midnight and o'clock this morning no less than five different fires occurred here. The Western Canada block was completely destroyed and the stores underneath, occupied by Wright Bros. X Mitchell druggists, burned out, causing losses of Ss5, LOGO The Grand Union hotel was also swept away with several stores and houses adjoining. The fire then crossed the street and consumed the large warehouse of Mel- rick, Anderson & Co. The loss in this connection will exceed S125, 1000. This latter fire is supposed to have been started by an incendiary.

to one who can understand and carry them out, than it would to give them to one who can do neither? I simply ask that you treat me with the same courtesy that you would any other work-woman. On my part, promise to do my work faithfully, and to try just as hard to please you as though I did not know word of arithmetic or algebra. I am willing to leave all things to adjust themselves, and don't think we shall have any trouble"
 Well, Miss Howard, I will try the arrangement for a month If at the end of that time things do not adjust themselves to suit, 1 shall tell you so candidly, and you can consider your self at liberty to seek another engage ment. l will show youyour room, and you can stay now, or come later, as you choose"
 "Thank you. l think would bet ter go and have my trunk sent, and then return so as to have a little time to arrange my clothes before dinner" !" and Helen bowed herself out of the handsome room with as much grace as though she had been fashionable caller, instead of newly engaged cook.
 Margaret Ogden," remarked that lady to herself, us she, too, left the room, you have either done very wise or very foolish thing this morn- ing. Which it is, remains to be seen.'
 As the days passed and she found thatbrains in the kitchen had brought order out of chaos, that her meals had never been so temptingly prepared, and that all things moved on so easily, she began to think she had, at least, not done very foolish thing; and by the time the months probation was out, and she found that her personal
