Washington Furniture Initiated and Off,

 George Washington's desk, together with some other pieces of his furniture, is in the governors room at the New York city hall, says the Collector, aid a very well-kept, convenient looking desk it is, made of well-polished ma hogany, and with lots of room for the writer's arm.
 Visitors to this room are inclined to doubt the age of tFe desk. Enterpfis- ing furniture mai-trs got its dlmeh- sions year ago, and promptly flooded the country with George Washington desks. They are close reproductions, and several of them have been held in country towns as the original desk.
 \ dealer in antiques received letter from a New England town last week asking what he would pay for George Washington desk. The writer said that it was in perfect condition, and he could establish its identity by comparing it with the old pictures of George Wash ington's furniture.
 "Propably the writer was honest in his pretense that his desk was the original said the dealer, but of course it is only one of the many commercials that have been made.
 There is hardly historic piece of old furniture but has been counterfeit ed, and every week l receive letters from country people who have found enc of these productions, and, believ- ing it to be genuine. offer to sell it for a large price. Some of these reproduc~ tions only an expert can detect"

Won't Nnrk There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top Of the mountains, fully nine miles. and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly np the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

CASHIER WASHES MONEY.
Microbes on Paper Currency Destroyed
 by an Ammonia Bath


 The fair metropolitan cashier has added a new factor to her growing val ration which will not prove so desirable a vile in the eyes of her employer as the honesty and efficiency which have won for her almost a monopoly in the business It is the result of the microbe craze, says the Globe-Democrat, and is nothing less than washing all the rnoney she handles, and charging her employer overtime, too. The ,diseoverer Of this rev way to enhance her usefulness and cost is Annie Nesmyth, the money-taker of a big ,down-Sown hotel. Miss Nesmyth serves ;at night mostly, and while less money comes in then than during the day, she is generally kept busy enough. The money is often very dirty and to 2he last degree repulsive to handle. Now, the cashier is trained nurse resting from her arduous pro- fessional labors. Afser sick speI! from handling the soiIed currency she concluded 1o resign. She was persuaded not to by an increase of her salary and permission to wash the money. So every night sees q soup-plate of am monia water at her elhosy, into which each note as it arrives is dropped It gets quick bath and then is laid out on piece of flannel to dry as tenderly as if it were her best piece of jewelry. The water has to be changed two or three times in q night.

Ssnora's Asriculturai Ants.

The agricultural ants'' of Sonora. Mexico, are said to plant fields of grain and regularly harvest their crops, upon which they depend wholly for food. In fact, should the crops fail, they would perish of famine. On the other hand, the cereals that they grow have been specialized by cultivation, like the wheat and other grains of the human husband man, and, it is stated, quickly disappear if the insects neglected to attend to them.

BRAZlL'S BLACK DIAMONDS.

More Sent to South Africa Than Any

 Although the greatest diamond mines in the world are in South Africa. Brazil exports more diamonds to that part than anywhere else on earth. says a London paper. The explanation is easy.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new cleo tric car line which is now in operation. The
 lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence Iof electric street cars is popular and adds
 market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD-

good ship State of California, slipped

the service good. We have on board
nearly 400 passengers, a large part Of

evidence all over the vessel. We have

rather thinly attended. Some are still

deck for the first time. Friday was a

Sunday and Monday, off the New

look for fine weather till the end of the
voyage. Now that we can get out on
deck, what with reading, games and
storytelling, the time will pass pleas

other games are in evidence. The eve
nings are given to concerts.
Sabbath l thought Of our dear people

they would be together in the sanctu-

having the day largely n Of worship
and praise. In the forenoon the writer
conducted divine services. We had q
service of praise in the afternoon, and
services in the evening by Rev. T. A.
Hughes of Newark.
About 5 p. M. we had a thrilling half
hour. AS the dense fog lifted for a few
moments the lookout discovered a small
row-boat containing a man and a boy.
"Lost our fishing schooner in the fog"
was the answer when they got within
hailing distance. The great ship was

deeply for the families of these men,
who will probably have no tidings from
them for weeks and will suppose them

and are the heroes OF the ship. The
tragedy has become a comedy. Ten
