PUTS MONEY IN HIS PURSE.

Shrewd Tommy Atkins Finds Many Ways
to Add to His Soldiers Salary.
1t is Il great mistake to suppose that
the limit of soldiers pay is shilling a
day. Where Tommy is a shrewd per-
son, and keeps his weather eye open,
there are a hundred and one methods for
him to supplement his meager pay by
doing work outside his military duties.
In fact, a very respectable sum may be
realized by doing a bit outside,'' or
taking on a civilians job as the opera
ton is called.
In all garrison towns smoking concerts
are often given in public houses, for
which q chairman and q pianist are en-
gagged; these positions are often filled by
soldiers, the landlord trusting to the popu-
larity of the redcoat to gain him a wider
connection.
In many theaters, too, and music halls
soldiers often get employment in the or
chestra; and should a military drama be
on the boards, Tommy's services are in
great requisition for parts where a mar
tial appearance and very little speaking
are required
The writer knows Of a case where a
compounder in the army used to make a
very handsome addition to his income
by dispensing and making up prescrip-
tons for few hours every evening at
chemists shop in the town in which his
regiment was stationed. This was a
somewhat unusual case, but in many gar
rison towns hotel proprietors, as far as
possible. employ soldiers as walters in
the evening, and pay them well, too
A very curious instance of taking on
civilians job" came under the writer's
notice short time ago. When passing
a bootmakers window he saw some ar
tillerymen stitching away at various
pairs of boots as eagerly as if their lives
depended on finishing the job quickly

REFUSES TO MAKE OATH.
Col. Ingersoll's Daughter Declines to Kiss
the Bible.

New York, June 4-Aiss Maud r.
Ingersoll, daughter of COL. Robert In
gersoll the agnostic, has created not a
little surprise by placing herself on rec
ord as clinging to the agnostic' opinions
of her father.
This confession came out in New
York police court yesterday when the
young woman refused to kiss the Bible
and take the oath before testifying in a
aruelty to animal case in which she was
the complainant She said that her re-
ligious opinions were the same as her
fathers and that she had been taught
to believe that a conventional oath ad-
ministered on the Bible would not be
binding to her. She preferred to assert
her intention of telling the truth in some
other form.
The magistrate permitted her to make
q simple affirmation.

Mothers Weakness.

stNo,,' said the dear old lady in gold
spectacles and dainty white lace cap;
s'Since we came TO live in New York we
miss those intimate, neighborly relations
that we 80 enjoyed in the South. Per
haps it is because in great city people
can't find out who you are, have not the
time to, Investigate those about them,
and SO live more to themselves. But
it is certain that the little delicate at
tentiOns, the numberless friendly acts
possible in a small town are impracti-
cable in q metropolis.
81 remember" she went on thoughtful-
ly, 'that we rarely ever sat down on
Sunday to dinner when we liVad in
Virginia without sending just taste OF
some dainty dish to neighbor. 1t
might have been a saucer of dessert,
luscious dish of fruit, plate Of par
tlcuiarly good lce-cream, or, IN fact, any
thing especially toothsome or apDetMing.
And we, IN our turn were the recipient
Of good things without number
Then smile broke over her face a
old recoliections seemed to crowd up.
"Once," she continued, 1--WE had most
astonishing experience. Mother had per-
sonally superintendent an unusually sue
cessful rhubarb pudding, with delici-
GUS cream sauce. and as it came on she
suddenly thought of neighbor opposite,
who bad been in such poor health for
long time. 'Sina,' she said to OUT dusky
cook, do take dish of this over to Mrs.
Davis and Sina, covering the dainty
with a fresh dolly, fastened ON her jour
ney OF friendliness.
''Now it so happened" went on the
speaker, ''that the Davisess had finished
filear meal and had no space left for any
thing more no matter how excellent the
make. So it occurred to them that Mrs.
Nixon would better enjoy the toothsome
norsel. Mrs. Nixon lived few doors
away, and the sweets Were accordingly
dispatched to her. But the Nixons too,
had Toasted sumptuously. and they
passed it on to Aunt Mary Morton.
Mothers weakness for rhubarb pud-
ding was we'll known in our family, in
deed it was a byword and a standing
joke. The moment Aunt Mary saw that
dish, she thought of another, and no
sooner had she recalled her fondness
for the pudding than she called up old
black Ellen and promptly sent her over
to or house with our own pudding in
our own dish, with our own dolly. Of
course, the joke was too good to keep
and if wasn't long before the whole
town knew the story of that peri3atetic
pudding. New York Morning journal

WHERE SILVER WILL COME
FROM.
('Tol do Blade.)

eff by free coinage at IS to the
United States adopts silver mono
metalism, where will the silver
come from that shall replace our
gold and how long will it probably
require to effect the complete
change??''
So long as the dollar in the. Unit
cd States had not deprecated In
to the bullion value of the silver in
it, so long it would be very profita-
Bile to bring silver from any coun-
try on the globe to have it coined.
How1ong it would take to drive the
dollar down to the silver standard
no one can tell. It is our belief
that it would be done very quickly.
Other think it might take a year.
The mines would all be set to work
on double time, and the amount of
silver that would be rushed to TIE
mint would be very large. The
larger, however, the quicker the
drop ito a so cent dollar would be.
We have no doubt that, were a
free coinage law to be passed, It
would provide that the bullion
should be weighed, and silver GER
tifcates be issued for it, which
would, we presume, be made legal
tender.
