ANOTHER REFORM.

It is confidently expected that Presi-
dent Cleveland will deliver quite a
lengthy chapter on finance in his next
message to Congress, and speculation
is rife as to the position he will take
or the scheme he will father for the
settlement of present monetary diff
culties. Whatever action he takes,
it is practically certain that he will be
just as obstinate and pig-headed in the
matter, just as prone to disregard en-
tirely the friendly counsel of qualified
and representative men, just as obstin-
ate and naughty in rejecting petitions
and memorials in his management of
the financial issue as he has been in
every measure in the disposition or
settlement ofwhich he has been lead
ing figure. The currency of the coun-
try is dangerously incomplete. It has
a part Of several systems but none that
seems to give general satisfaction.
Mr.. Cleveland evidently recognizes
this fact and contemplates making
some material changes in existing mon
etary relations. There is little doubt
but that Grover has at the present
time, somewhere in the deep convolu-
tions of his ponderous brain, the out
lines of a "colossal reform" which he
proposes to make in the money of the
country. The Presidents will not be
the only scheme that will be advanced
for placing the United States on a
sure financial basis. There are as
many questionable plans before the
country to-day for the settlement of
the money question as there are frag-
ments of different systems in practical
operation throughout the nation at the
present time, and there is little doubt
but that the next six months will wit
ness the bringing forth of as many
schemes or measures to be used as the
basis upon which is to be built the
system which is to effectually wipe out
the present unrest and dist1ust in Fl
nancial circles, and restore the coun-
try to healthy and prosperous con-
dition, as there are reputed fnanciers,
most of which, were the bills allowed
to become law, would be as fatal to
the we'll being of the country, as the
Plaques were to Egypt in the days of
old.

MISSISSIPPI HOUSEHOLDS.
The Slow and Primitive Methods Used In
Moving Them Up Stream.

The Slow and Primitive Methods Used In
Moving Them Up Stream.
The Households, it appears, are a
survival Of one among many kinds OF
boats which were very much m ore nu-
merous upon the great river before the
era of steam navigation than steam
boats are now. Among the earlier
forms of boats were the famous ken
lucky fats" or 'sbroad-horns," and
ia mily boats of this pattern were an
early modification of their general
plan, which was that of a strong
hulled ark, long and narrow, and COW
cred with curving roof. l have read
that family boats of this description,
fitted up for the descent of families to
the lower country, were provided with
a stove, a comfortable apartment,
beds. and arrangements for commodi-
Gus habitancy, and in them ladies. serv-
ants, cattle, sheep, dogs and poultry,
all floating on the same bottom, and on
the roof the looms, plows, spinning
wheels, and domestic implements OF
the family, were carried down the
river" Fulton's Clermont, which
proved its usefulness as the first prac.
tical adaptation of steam-power to
water travel in 1907, must have been
quickly copied on the Mississippi, for
in one list o. notable passages up that
river have seen note of a trip by a
steam boat in 1914. But long after that
the barges, skiffs. horse boats, broad.
horns, and family boats must have re-
manned very numerous They foated
down stream with the current, and
were pulled up again by means OF
wheels worked by horses or cattle,
and by the toilsome and slow processes
known as warping and bushwhacking.
A boat which was warped up the
river kept two row-boats ahead
of her. carrying hawsers, which
were made fast to the trees on the
shore. and then pulled in as the big seI
vessels were thus hauled along. When
the length of one cable had been pulled
in, the other boat had fastened the 9th.
er cable far ahead, and SO the vessel
''inched" along against the five-mile
current of the stream a little more
quickly than a house moves when its
owner has decided TO move it down a
country road to distant cellar he has
dug Cor 1t. 1t took a day to go six or
eight miles by that method. Smaller
boats were propelled against the cur
rent by rowing, sailing or polling them
along; and1swhen the water was
high and overflowed the banks, they
bushwhacl1ed up jstream-that is, they
pulled the vessels along by hauling or
the bushes that brushed the sides OF
the crafs.-Julian Ralph, in Harper's
Magazine.

pleasant aspect, symmetrical and .
splendid saddle animal, highly priced
by her master. The captain had often
refused an unreasonable sum for her.
We were put in q perfect frenzy of ex-
element on being so suddenly aroused
by the distressing appeals of the cap
tain for assistance. 1t seemed that he
had been awakened by the neighiug Of
his mare which had been attacked by
a couple of hungry panthers, and, fear
ing that something was wrong with
her, he repaired at once to the scene of
disturbance, to find the mare in a most
desperate and determined struggle to
throw off the beasts and release her
self from her dangerous position. The
old captain was frantic, and by the
time we reached the bloody scene the
captain had gotten so MIXED up with
the struggling animals that we could
hardly tell (which from t'other." The
captain, with his heavy belt knife. was
carving one of the panthers with such
desperate vigor that the animal was al
most in narrow strips and had dropped
from the mares loins to the ground in
the last throes of death. The other
had secured Judgment just over the
withers and had firmly fastened its
fangs in the jugnlar. drinking the
blood of pretty Betty Martini" as the
captain had been pleased to name his
favorite roadster.
That operation was quickly put to an
end, however, for the whole party were
fully aroused and would have fought
"Old Sam HILL" or any other creature
from the Internal regions, at the drop
of hat, and dropped it themselves.
Under such circumstances, Leavitt, a
Philadelphian by birth and education,
and one of the coolest and most daring
men l ever met with, and powerful
man physically, deliberately seized the
panther by his long tail, wound the tail
around his wrist firmly and, with Her.
culean strength, wrenched it from the
suffering mare. swinging the bloody
beast three or four times around his
head in quick succession, and with the
full momentum of his mighty strength
brought the panther's head in contact
with large rock that fortunately
stood about two feet out of the ground
and in convenient reach. Such an act
of bravery was almost unparalleled.
There was no more sleep for us that
night The captain was inconsolable
for the loss of his mare, discussing the
merits and dement's Of the horrid pan.
Their all night long, declaring that he
couldn't see the use of such a beast
anyway. We were determined the
wild beasts should not feed upon the
carcass of Pretty Betty Martin" so we
gave her decent burial, piling heap
of stones upon her grave to prevent
them scratching her out
Her sad fate aroused the captain to
the most dire vengeance against the
hated panther as race. and he swore
not to rest until the last vestige of thai
race of beasts was exterminated in that
section for fifty miles around. How

Their Writing Materials Were Crude, but
the Romans Wrote Charming Letters.
Although the writing materials Of
the ancient Romans were crude
enough, when compared with elegant
stationery of to-day, they wrote charm
ing letters and books whose fame will
epistolary efforts in those days; writ
ing was a serious business and involved
an amount of preparation favorable to
thought The materials used as paper
were of three kinds: the rind of plant
or tree called papyrus, parchment
made of skins, and wooden tablets,
covered with wax. Pieces of the thin
rind of the papyrus were joined to-
gether when damp, pressed, dried in
the sun and rubbed until smooth.
Long rolls of sheets pasted together
were sold. Some rolls of papy-
rus sheets nearly fifty yards in
length are now preserved in one
or two museums in Europe. When a
book was finished, stick was fastened
to the last sheet and all the sheets
were rolled together in a way similar
TO that in which we roll our maps. The
name of the book was written in red
ink on piece of papyrus which was
attached to the roll. The second kind
of paper or parchment was made from
the skins of sheep and goats. The
hair was taken of and the skin made
smooth by the use of pumice. A re-

Professions to which American women

The Congo natives, who have al

the Congo railroad, have at last begun
to show much interest in the under

islands in 1872, says: "The men of those
islands average twelve feet in height
and are broad in proportion. The
tallest men on board our vessel could
pass between the legs of those chill
dren of Goliath without bending their
heads Late discoveries in the island
mentioned go long ways toward es-
tablishing the truth of Bohres' asser-
tions. Their burial places are huge
mounds of stones covered over with
immense stone platforms, the whole
surmounted with images of human
beings carved in stone, those statues
being in some cases as much as eighty

On the African shore, near the
gulf of Alden, and connecting the lake
of Assal with the main ocean, may be
found one of the most wonderful rivers
in the world. This natural curiosity
in the shape of a river does not flow to
but from the ocean toward the inland.
The surface of Lake Assal is nearly
seven hundred feet below the sea level.
and it is fed altogether by this
paradoxical river, the latter being
about twenty-one miles in length. 1t
is said to be wonderful fact that this
river of immense volume Especially at
high tide) furnishes exactly enough
water to counterbalance the extraor.
binary evaporation of the lake. and
that in consequence the lakes surface
remains at uniform level year after
year.
