why He neca me An Agno..,c.

Philadelphia Record: A Japanese gen.
tleman. who now holds the position OF
chemist 10 an iron and steel foundry just
outside OF the city, has had his religious
convictions sadly shattered since his So
journ in this country. He was converted
to Christianity in Japan through the ef-
forts OF an enthusiastic Presbyterian
missionary there, and because the mis-
sionary wore a silk hat the, faithful Japan
ese supposed that silk hat was always
an adjunct OF Christianity. When the
steamer which brought him to America
reached San Francisco it was boarded
by man in silk hat, who swore con-
tinuously, in most shocking style. Such
language from man who was certainly
a Christian because he wore a silk hat
upset the Oriental's belief, and he shortly
lapsed into agnosticism.

The democratic tariff, Notwithstanding
that it was changed for the worse by the
treachery OF several senators, does not
seem to be shutting up our iron mills for
all the hard times. The Carnegie com.
pany has just secured good paying con-
tract for 10000 tons of steel rails sfor
Japan, after sharp competition with
the mills Of the balance of the world.
On top Of this, it is fact which cannot
be successfully disputed, that the reven-
ues for the first calendar year under the
Wilson tariff bill were more by thirty
millions than they were for the last cal
endar year under the Mckinley bill. II
1t wasn't for our rotten financial system
this country would be all right.

The ideal wife of the aristocracy-
does not exist. The British arissp.rat
has no ideals. He was born cynical,
with good humored, matter Of fact,
man Of the world sort of cynicism, and
he carries his congenital creed unabashed
through the world with him. He sows
his wild oats in many fields; then he
marries, for the settlements. His wife is
rich or beautiful, or both. She lives in
society. He and she 60 their own ways
forthwith, and those ways usually land
one or the other in the divorce court.
Occasionally both Of them reach that
goal together. They smile and part, aft
or rearranging the settlements which
form the practical basis; thence they
drift into the world once more and be-
gin again da capo Their ideal is to en-
joy themselves; in their own reckless
way they usually attain it. Grant Al
len in North American Review.

An ingenious citizen of Chicago, after
skillfully lodging a few cups and saucers
hurled at him by his loving wife, seized
her and held her in the bathtub while he
turned on the cold water. In spite OF her
objections to the cold water treatment he
held her there until the tub was partly
filled, and then repeatedly ducked her
until she promised to leave off the Gus
tom OF throwing things at him and other

United States mint at New Orleans and
struck 1884, $40 in double eagles and
81, 101 ,316.50 in silver half dollars,
using the United States dies for 1861.
The bullion was exhausted in May,
1851, when the coinage ceased, and the
United States dies were destroyed. A
Confederate states die was then made,
to be used for silver half dollars, but it
was not fit for use in coming press, the
relief being too high. -Four half dollars
were struck with 1t on screw press and
these comprise the entire coinage of the
Confederate states. They are worth
about $3.50 apiece to dealers. Collector.

One day sat in a car seat on the San

pale, careworn lady who was talking
to little boy. As the little boy was Of
very inquiring mind, and everything
seemed to attract his attention, could
not help listening to some of the ques-
tons.
"What is that. Auntie?" the little boy
commenced, pointing to a Huge stack Of
hay far out ON the level marsh.

careworn lady.
"What is hay, Auntie?"
"Why. hay is hay, dear"
"But what Is it made of?'
"Why, hay is made of dirt and water
and air."
"Who makes il? ''
"God makes it dear"
Does he make it in the daytime, or in
the night? %
''In both, dear"
"And sundays?"

experts is to demonstrate, to their own
satisfaction, at any late, that bicycles
have cost the country 500. 000. 900 during
the past four years, or $50, 600 600 year.
The cost to manufacture these is put at
$27 each, and they say that actual values
will tend toward this figure, and the
shrinkage in values from 500, 900. 600 to
s75, 600, 900 or less will affect Wall street
and make trouble in financial circles. OF

night before the convention with enough

Ing TO the big hotels had but li.tIc elbow
room left for pedestrians upon errands
other than sightseeing. Chauncey l.
filley, the white-bearded leader OF Mis-
souri, Republicans, furnished the most
unique and impressive spectacle Of the
night. For although rejected by his State
delegation today, Filley retains strong
mold upon the popular affections of St.
Louis. II tonight's denonstration IN his
honor be any criterion. There had been
arranged several days ago for last mig ht a
parade OF the local Republican orpaniza-
lions Tor the delectation Of visitors. The
procession materialized with an abun-
oeuce OF marchers in the ranks and Ii also
became tribute to Filley. Some three
thousand men were in line, nearly all of
them carrying slaves tipped with four
foot square Autographs of Mr.. Filley's
features surmopnted by his famous
shovel hat. Mr.. Filley himself was in he
parade, standing In a barouche drawn by
white horses, bowipg continually and
waving his hat along 10 miles OF the
march.
The Southern Hotel balcony, where the
Reed followers congregate, gave an ova.
tton TO the filiey turnout while II passed,
because reports that Filley was boiling
with brace of delegates to Reed placed
him high I'm the affections OF the New
Englanders. These New Englanders, or
that part OF them attached to the deiega.
tions of Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island organized an impromptu demon
stration TO divert the crowds from the
big Mckinley meeting at Exposition
hall. They formed small procession,
headed by one of the most persistent
bands in town, and after q march round
entertained the people IN front of the
Southern Hotel, with oratory from the
balconies by members Of the delegations
who extolled the record of Names favor
:te son. Each of the States~rttached to
its banners the legend, "Solid as Gold
for Reed; Solid as Reed for Gold" which
had been adopted as the Reed slogan.
Another center OF interest was in square
near the Planters hotel, where the
Blaine club of Cincinnati had erected a
bandstand and furnished concert of sew.
eral hours duration.
