The Feminine Imarination.

A down-East dressmaker tells of an ex.
acting patron who brought back dress
because it was too large in the waist and
wanted it refitted. Itwas left for the pur-
pose but before it was touched the lady
sent for it. Thinking her customer was
"notional," the dressmaker allowed it to
go as it was, saying nothing. The lady
thought it had been fixed and now COM
planned that it was too tight in the waist
It was left as before, but nothing was done
to it, as the dressmaker had now grown
wise on the subject. 1t remained a few
days and was again tried by the customer.
This time the fit was perfect and the lady
has since repeatedly declared she never
was so well suited.-Lewiston Journal.

RECORD OF THE OLYMPIA.
She Made Ttrenty Knots With Eas,
Under Natural Drdught.

Under Natural Draught.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 9.-Reports
of the final trial of the Olympia, which
reached the Navy Department to-day,
show that the vessel maintained a speed Of
nearly twenty knots in Santa Barbara
Channel for four hours under natural
draught, which is greater than expected.
The vessel was not forced in any way,
accomplishing twenty knots with the
greatest ease. The vessel was heavily
loaded, being 900 tons displacement greater
than on her contractors trial. The Olym-
pia is now at San Francisco recruiting men
for three years cruise. AS soon as her
complement of marines is full she will go
to Mare Island Navy-yard for two weeks
and then proceed to China to replace the
Baltimore as flagship.

Liberty Bell to Travel.

Everything has been practically ar
ranged for the journey of the old
Liberty bell to Atlanta, GA, where
it will be on exhibition during the
exposition to be given by the cotton
states. The councils committee hav-
ing charge Of the affair held a meet
ing yesterday and appointed num-
Der of subcommittee to attend to
the various details of the trip. The
councilmen who are to accompany
the great treasure are enthusiastic
over the affair.
The bell will probably start on its
trip Sept. 10, as the exposition will
open Sept. Is. General agent Lat
ia of the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany, has offered to have built a
special car similar to that which car.
ried the bell to Chicago. This and
the transportation of the bell will be
free of expense.

ROCKEFELLER had met his match.
The jays had talked him out. He
would have argued with them, but
no ground for argument remained.
He must rest the case For, while
he did not love a working man, he
was careful not to encourage any
fight against the body of his EN-
ployes. He had heard of labor fights
and they are unpleasant things to
contemplate. He told the jays that
their wishes wonld be respected, and
that he would see that all peremp-
tory orders to employees would be
removed and that the miners could
enjoy full liberties in the disposition
of their wages. With this the com
mittee rose, and the interview was at
an end
But, o, the deception of this clos
ing speech. The big mining capt.
alist had strung his fish most beauti-

THE CONTEST FILED.
At Last the Northern Pacific has Shed

(To be continued

its Coat and will Fight the Case.
The Northern Pacific railway has
filed in the Mssoula land office con
test against the decisions of the min
eral land commissioners Of that dis
trict, says the Anaconda Standard of
the 18th, which declare the land
within the grant to be mineral. The
contest is made on the ground that
the land is not valuable for mineral
purposes and covers about 900 acres
in various locations, nearly all near
the railway or this city. This con-
test was expected, as the railway
company could not allow this oppor-
tunlty to escape to test the extent Of
the power of the mineral land com
mission. If the company had allowed
this first report of the commissioners
to 60 unchallenged it would have
been impossible, it is said, to contest
the decisions, which involve land of
great value.
This contest will, it is believed, de
eide whether or not the mineral land
commissioners can save to the peo-
pie of this state the lands which be-
long to them.
at will settle the whole business -
said an attorney to a Standard repor-
ter, "and if the mineral land com
mission is not sustained by the courts.
| believe we might as well give up
all hope of saving our mineral lands.
This contest is one of the most i'm
portant issues ever raised in this
state.
Commissioner f. NJ. Leonard rode
in this evening from the camp of the
commission on Clearwater and was
interviewed, answering as follows:
"The basis upon which we have been
working is that agreed upon at a
joint session Of the commissioners
aud state board, which is: ANY
! ground shall be classed as mineral
which would justify any reasonably
prudent man in sinking and develop
ing it. The only way that it can be
determined is by development. But
we contend that where mineral in
dications are unmistakable, the land
is mineral land, and we have pro-
ceeded upon this basis. Every di-
vision of land which we have classed
as mineral contains mineral indica
cations which are unmstakablc.
What will be the course of the
railroad company is not known, bu,
it is believed that an effort will be
made to place more limited con,
struction upon the law, whicn will
upset all possibility of any classified
ton. The outcome of this contest
is of utmost Importance to the peo-
pie of the United States and will be
watched with deep interest

 "Have you ever heard of our post land mail addressing a writer for the Leader. He is kleptomaniac, born thief, I guess," continued the clerk. "He steals letters and we cannot keep him from it. He has taste for we'd ding cake, too, and his conscience never restraints him from indulging it. We have set trap for him repeatedly, but he is too wise for us." The clerk then discourscd concerning the habits of the distinguished rodent. He hides among the rubbish of the room" he said. and has several means of ready access to the outside world. He takes charge of affairs when we arc out. The other day hc was seen sitting upright on the table nibbling at Q package of hickory nut kernels which happened to be silc-tracked during transit through the mails. Not long ago box of wedding cake got lost. A card was mailed to the render to come and cor rect the address. She called and when we looked for the package it was gone. A feeling something like that which crept over old Mother Hubbard when she went to the cupboard to get her poor dog bone gradually gained pos session of us. The rat had made off with the cake, and the closest search revealed only scattered fragments of precious sweetmeat. We thought for long time that some in9uisitive per son was taking certain missives, but our suspicious proved to be unfounded. One cay we discovered several of the missing letters near hole made by the rat under desk. He had taken them as far as he could, and then had bade them good-by."
 The rat makes the correcting clerks office his principal rendezvous. It is there that stray letters and packages are held for time to ascertain their correct address or for additional postage.

THE USE OF PAPER MONEY
Common to Nearly All CiSilized Countries
 -Issnes in Vari US Nations.

Almost. if not 9litc. all civilized countries uee paper money to facilitate payments within their oGn jar;Ssiic tions. says the St. Louis Globe-Deno crat. The United States uses paper money to a greater extent than any other country, and in notes of smaller denomination than any other country of equal importance. All of our paper bills except the gold certificates are in the denominations of SI, g., c, S10, s2O. s5o, S100, S500 anu Sl ,0o0; our gold ccr- tificates do not appear in dcnomina tions less than so. The Dominion oi Canada issues S1 and g notes, and various banks issue notes varying from g to Sl,001. Mexico issues paper money of 10 pesos and upward and the South American states issue paper ot similar denominations. The Bank ot England issues au English notes in de nominations of G5. G10. geo, $50, el00 G20o. e30J, e500 and G1,010 The banks of Scotland and Ireland issue notes oi e1 and upward. The Bank of Trance issues notes for 50 francs, 109, 2O1, 50( dHS 1.UUJ l 1IiS lIiIl-- Ol OCl'' issues rotCs of 9 francs and upward Italian banks issue notes of l lire anG upward to 1000 lire. The Bank oi Germany puts oct notes for marks and upward to 1000 marks. Austria issues notes of gull and upward. Russia is the only European country which issues government notes, its paper money being of the denomina- tion of 1 ruble and upward. Sweden Norway and Denmark issue by their banks notes for krone, 10, 25, 50 and 100 krone. India does not issue paper money, nor does China now. Japan provides paper money of yen, 2, 5, To- 20 and 100 ycns. and the other countries as a rule, issue paper money, the low est denomination of which is usually ten times the value of the coined unit of value
