The Circulating Medium That a Tray

Here is an amusing account of 9
traveller who went many years ago to
Mexico, and found the natives using
strange kind of currency. Says he: In
one of the small towns I bought some
lines, and gave the girl one dollar in
payment. By way of change, she re-
turned to me forty-nine pieces of soap
the size of a small biscuit. 1 looked
at her in establishment, and she re-
turned my look with equal surprise,
when a police officer, who had wit
messed the incident, FASTENED to inform
me that for small sums soap was legal
tender in many parts of the country.
II examined my change, and found
that each cake was stamped with the
name of a town and of a manufacture
authorized by the government. The
cakes of soap were worth three farth-
ings each. Afterwards. in my travel, l
frequently received similar change.

Clinton Miller, of Bradford, Pa,
florist gardener and quite an intelli-
gent man, says the Buffalo Express, has
a strange hobby. He does not and will

Miller worn any head-covering other
tsaH short, thick growth OF natural

pouring down upon his uncovered head,
Miller may be seen walking around the
town or at his work, with the utmost
serenity of manner, as If he never
minded it a little bit In the winter 1t
is the same. The mercury may descend
clear to the bulb in the thermometer,
the winds may blow and the snow may
fly, but Miller never minds it and stalks
about bare-headed and without an
overcoat. The rain doesn't feale nm
either. Nothing bothers this man with
the hobby, as far as the elements are
concerned. Miller attended the New
York State Fair last year, and was an
object of great interest 1t was very
hot during the days on which the fair
was held, and the sweltering crowds
tried to keep cool with broad-brimmed
hats, parasols, umbrellas, etc, and Mil
Ter, with his bare head. seemed TO be
the only person on the grounds who dld
not suffer from the heat. He gives as
his reason for not wearing a hat that
nature provided us with head-coFer-
Ing, and he says that 1t is foolish Tor
person to wear a hat or any other
artificial head-covering. you say you
don't see how I can stand 1t? Look at
the North American Indian. How does
he stand it, or how did he stand 1t be-
fore the entrance OF civilization, which
resulted In some Of them adopting hats?
See the natives Of far-off Africa and
other far-off countries, who do not wear
hats. Why, you can even see the fool
ishRess of wearing a big, heavy, cum
bersome hat by looking at women on
the streets with bonnetS as big as
silver half-dime. They don't need any
hat. Another reason that do not wear
a hat is that it produces badness. II
the people OF the civilized world wore
hats there would never be such thing
as a bald head, unless brought on by
disease. l wouldn't wear a hat, and
abandon it's use. 1t might be hard at
first. but they would get used to it soon,
and would be pleased with the result"

was celebrated few days ago. The
bridegroom was Fong Chu, a wealthy
merchant, and his bride was Soon

wedding was the costumes of the prin-

groom followed a fashion not strange

namely, wearing a coat and a pair Of
trousers that had figured in several
such functions among his ancestors.
The bride was gorgeous in brocaded
silk and gold embroidery. The we'd
ding was in the groom's house and
every detail of the ceremony was after
the most ultra-fashionable American
style. Judge Dwyer tied the knot
There was a good deal of solemnity
about the event because of fears on the
part of principals and assistants that
they might not do things just "allee

HIS MALADY FEICNED.
California Courts Have No Sympathy
for Reporters Who Sham INSANITY


for Reporters Who Sham Insanity.
A sad blow at journalistic enter
prise" has been dealt by an unfeeling
judge in California. An ambitious
young reporter on the Los Angeles
Herald who had wearied of ordinary
assignments, conceived.the idea Of win
ming fame by getting up sensation. So
he feigned insanity, was brought be-
fore the court for examination, was
pronounced a subject for the asylum,
and was sent to the state institution at
Highlands. After staying long enough
to get material for a good story" he
wanted to get out but in order to Sc
cure his release, was obliged to tell the
whole story Of his deceit. The judge
who had committed him cited him to
appear to answer the charge of con-
tempt OF court, and sentenced him to
pay fine Of 5000 or serve 100 days in
jail. The judge accepted the plea that
no disrespect for him personally had
been intended, but explained that con-
tempt of court was not an offense
against the person of the judge, but
against the government, because 1t Is
an unlawful interference with the or
derby administration of justice by the
tribunals created for that purpose. In
this case the reporter, by deceit, had
caused the machinery of justice to be
set In motion, involving considerable
public expense. and when brought be-
fore the court acted In disorderly and
insolent manner to induce the court to
make an improper and illegal order.
The Judge proceeded to express these
views upon the plea that journalistic
criminal ought to be treated more
leniently than one not in the profess
SION" Possibly from the standpoint
of reporter, such conduct may seem
right and proper. 1t Is possible even
that In some quarters an attempt to
deceive court Of Justice, and by de-
ceit to procure an improper and illegal
order-an order involving the expendi-
ture of considerable public money, and
resulting in the sending of sane man
to an insane asylum-may be looked
upon as legitimate journalistic enter
prise. l hardly think, however, that,
upon sober second thought, any citizen
would 80 regard II. One who embarks
upon such an enterprise-an enterprise
which involves a violation of law, an
enterprise which involves the commits
sion of public offense-must abide the
consequence"

THE SCIENTIFIC CRANK.
He Utilities His Bohemian Friend in
Not Overwhelming Manner.


A well-known Bohemian visited his
friend, Professor Price, at the latters
laboratory recently. The professor was
examining a dark-brown substance
spread on paper.
Say, Petite would You kindly let me
place a little of this on your tongue?
My taste has become so yitiated by
tasting all sorts of things"
Certainly responded the ever-ac-
commoGating Petite, thrusting out his
tongue.
The professor took up little OF the
substance under analysis and placed it
on Petie'6 tongue. He worked il around
for fully minute, tasting 1t much as
he would a fine CONNECTION.
Mote any effect?" inquired the pro-
fessor.

ut doesn't paralyze or prick your
tongue?"
Not that can detect"
Il thought not There are no aka
loids in it, then. How does it taste?"
Bitter as the dickens"
''Um-m; all right"
What is it, anyway" inquired Petite,
as he spat out the hold-over taste.
Il don't know. That's what I'm try
ing TO find out. Some one has been
poisoning horses with 1t over at the
mission.
Petite rushed to the telephone and
called up a veterinary surgeon.

Cause and Effect.

The Boston Traveller says that a few
weeks ago Maine young man bought
a pair of socks containing a note say
ing the writer was an employee of the
kenosha CWis) knitting works and
wanted good husband. She gave her
name and requested the buyer, if an
unmarried man, to write with a view
TO matrimony. The young man who
found the note considered the matter
in all its phases and decided to write
to the girl. He did. Awaiting the an
swer with considerable anxiety he was
at last rewarded with a curt letter stat
ing that the girl was now the mother
OF two children and had been married
four years, and the letter he had an
swered had been written ever so long
ago. It was sock" dollager, and the
young man hunted for a solution. He
found it. The merchant of whom he
bought the socks doesn't advertise.

A False Propner.

Six hundred worsted mill operatives
in Fitchburg, Mass, have received no
tice of raise In wages; the Collins WOOL

an advance of 10 per cent to their
hands; men in nail and plate mills at
Pottstown, Pa, will have their wages
largely increased on August 1; the men
in the Donaldson Iron Works at Allen
town have been notified that their
wages are to be raised. These an
nouncements must rifle Gov. Mckinley.

they are wonderful, as all sea anemones
are. These are simple in color. being

BOATS BY ELECTRICITY.
Electric Launches Coming Into Practical
Use in this Country.

Use in this Country.
The electric launch industry Is SLOWLY
taking root in this country, the main
difficulty being that of finding places at
which to recharge the storage batteries.
or get new supplies of chemicals II
primary batteries are used. In this
respect to-day the owner of an electric
launch is often like nation which mas
fleet but no coaling station. In Eu-
rope the rivers are so much shorter
than ours, the towns are so much
closer together, and the population is
so much denser that We find many
places where launches are in demand
and highly successful. The Engllsh
Thames has a fine feet, and the con-
tinental rivers are all dotted with such
craft. At Bergen, Norway, a regular
line of electric-launch ferry has been
established, with eight boats running
on a fveminute schedule across the
harbor. In winter, when the schedule
is shortest, the boats ply from a. m.
to 9:3G o. N. On an average the boats
cover thirty-seven miles daily and
carry a total of l 300 passengers. The
boats, which are % feet long, feet
inches beam, and made to carry eight
cen passengers, are double-enders, with
a screw at each end. A three-horse
power motor runs each boat, and the
charging station has thirty-horse
power dynamo. The service is efficient
and popular. 1t would seem that there
are places in America where such
plan could be adopted with advantage.
Meantime electric launches are being
put on many American artificial waters,
and fleet Of six is being built for the
Atlanta Exposition. One genius has
fitted up a trolley line along narrow
stream, and the boats, instead of carry
ing batteries, simply take current from
a wire Just as a trolley car does.

THE WINNING OF FAME.
One of the Ways in Which a Man Ma

One of the Ways in Which a Man May
Perretuate His Memory. D
A man may win widespread and
long-enduring fame by founding an in
stitution of learning which shall bear
his name, says New York Sun. The
cry Cornell" was heard over England
last week-it had long been familiar in
the United States; and the years have
added 1ustre to the memory of Ezra
Cornell, who founded the university at
Ithaca, N. Y, which was chartered
thirty years ago, and opened for stu
dents in 1868, during the Presidency Of
Andrew Johnson. The name of the
Rev. John Harvard of England and
Massachusetts has been commemorated
for more than two centuries and half
as the founder of Harvard college, now
known as Harvard university, The
name of Elihu Yale, born in New
Haven, Conn, died in England, is en-
balmed in Yale university, formerly
known as Yale college, which enjoyed
his benefactions in the first quarter of
the eighteenth century. In California
there is Stanford university, named af-
ter a son OF the late Leland Stanford;
there is the Johns Hopkins university
In Baltimore; there is Vanderbilt uni
yersity in Tennessee: there Is VaSsar
college near Poughkeepsie called after
Matthew Vassar, and there are many
other universities or colleges called af-
ter their founders or benefactors. The
Rev DR.. Marcus Whitman, pioneer in
the farthest west, is commemorated in
Whitman college, soon to be university,
In the state of Washington. If one can
not found a university or college,
seminary may serve to perpetuate his
name. At East Hampton, in Massa-
chusetts, there is Williston seminary,
named after their founders. 1t may be
ton; and there are in the country hun
dreds of other institutions of the kind
named after their founders. 1t may be
inferred from the examples here that
the man who desires to perpetuate his
memory would do we'll to establish
university, college, seminary, or other
institution of learning, and give 1t his
name.

as to the exact mode of procedure,
whether counsel are employed or jury

tells us Is that after a great deal of

unhappy prisoners, and they are
promptly exterminated, after which
the court rises and the crows disperse,
each to his own district.
