THE DEPARTMENT CHAPLAIN.

The report of Department Chaplain
c. c. Salter, Of Duluth, is gratifying
in the fact that Memorial day of 1896
was observed with a warmth of en-
thuSiaSm which has not been surpassed
by any preceding year. From reports
of 147 of the 1S9 posts in the depart
ment it is learned that 1927 graves
were streWn with flowers, and that
1854 comrades took part in this sacred
tribute to their departed comrades
All but six Of the responding posts
report the observance of Memorial
Sunday services. In many instances
the number of citizens in attendance
upon the exercises exceeded that Of
any former year. Cities and large
! towns report an attendance Of from
5000 to 5000, while small places make
/ a, still more surprising report. Trough
! out the department pupils of public an1
( parOchial schools contributed much to
the attractiveness of the occasion by
appropriate songs and recitatiOns.
Grateful mention is made of the i'm
pOrtant services by the WOmen's Re
lief Corps, the Ladies of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, Sons of Vete-
rams and Ladies Aid Societies, both
in anticipating and celebrating the
day.
The report closes thus: 1--WE cannot
doubt that this day will continue to be
/ a beacon light, telling to succeeding
| generations the eloquent story of the
valor of the noble men who laid their
lives upon the altar of their country's
/ salvation. The old soldiers will thus
/ remain a potent factor in educating
! that spirit of ardent and intelligent
patriotism upon the stability of which
the nation depends"

WE'RE AFTER JEWELRY.
Burglars Make Raid on n Fifth
Street Store.

Burglars made an effort to enter the
stcre Of Bceringer & Sons, opticians, II
East Fifth street, between and 4
o'clock yesterday morning, but were
frightened away by Officer Lynch in
making his round of the alley in the
rear of the building. The thieves had
evidently studied the locality and had
undoubtedly planned a big haul as the
stock is CT a portable nature. No
lights are kept burning in the store,
and the burglars selected the back win
dOws as place of entrance. Iron shut
ters enclose the windows, but the marks
of a Jimmy and part of a broken
iron bar, found near the scene, showed
the night workers to have been prepar-
ed for a thorough job. One pair of shut
ters was open, but the approach Of the
policeman prevented the removal of q
pane of glass from the inside window
when the interior of the store would
have been at the pleasure OF the
thieves.

THE DEPARTMENT INSPECTOR

The report Of Department Inspector
Samuel BloOmer shows that III posts
were inspected, having membership
of 1858. The amount of relief expended
by seVenty-fOur posts reporting was
$1,69174; money and securities in hand
of post quartermasters, $7,4O4 40; ag-
gregate value Of other property owned
by pests, $42,8O197.
COmrade BlOOmer says: eft is to be
regretted that complete inspection of
all the posts was not received. AL
though the system that has proved so
satisfactory during the past few years
was followed aided by PERSONAL cor
respondence of the inspector. urging
post commanders to have the inspec-
ton made, yet sixteen posts have failed
to report. This delinquency is princi-
pally among the posts located in the
rural districts, whose members are
scattered and live far apart, and is
caused in measure by the fact that
another year has been added to the
age of the old comrades, and to the
early coming winter, with it's severe
colds, blizzards and deep SHOWS. The
comrades could once face a blizzard OF
iron and lead with but fraction of
the dread that they now face a snow
blizzard" He closes his report nv
thanking the assistant inspector and
other comrades for the many kind
words and courteous treatment re-
ceived by him.

Some Four-DolIar Gold-Pieces.

j.. Bellinap of Council Bluffs, Ia, is
the owner Of one Of the 81 gold pieces
of 1879, 1t is one Of the kind refused
at the sub-trensury at Cincinnati re-
Gently as being wholly unknown to the
officials there who declined to accept
1t even at its bullion value. Belknap
received the coin in 1850 from Col w
f. Sapp, who was then representing
the Ninth district in Congress- The re-
fusal of the treasury officials to ac-
cept the coin indicate that they are
not wide-awake numismatlsts. FOR the
coin is held at much more than its
bullion value at present.
Col. Sapp had only two of these coins,
and paid out both in 1880. One was
given to Belknap in payment for tailor
work, and the other to a farm hand
Sapp explained the history of the
pieces, and told the men their real
value. only u few were coined and
only small number OF these passed
into circulation. The coin was the re-
suit of an attempt made a number OF
years ago to recognize the metric sys-
tenn of weights and measures by pro-
viding n piece of value corresponding
TO the French 20-franc piece, and was
designed for international circulation.
The design was approved by n COM
mittee of Congress, and n bill intro
duced in the Houseproviding for a
metric coin for international use. The
coin Is the size of a nickel. The Liber-
ty head is turned to the left on the
diverse side, with 1873 below and -
stars. Twenty sets We're struck early in
lS79lo he submitted to the committee.
The bill for the issue failed to become
a law, and the coins are consequently
not legal tender.-New York sun.

I,aets, turnips and other roots for
early winter use may be stored in bar
rels in the cellar, covering them with
sand or soil TO prevent whiting. Not
bad plan is that practiced by u friend
of the writer's He obtains enough
thin turf from meadow to make
about four layers in the barrel. Then
filling in some roots in n barrel he puts
layer of sod on top, then more roots
and sod until the barrel is full, finishing
off with the sod on top. For spring use
It is better 10 put these roots in a

store some in a barrel that Is covered
