FIFTY RECRUITS.
striking Miners In Camp In Wes'
yfrgfnia-Operators Chatting.

WHEELING. w. Va, Aug. 80, 1887
The strikers camp near the Montana
mines gained not fewer than fifty recruits
today. all of them men who have been
working, but the operators were on the
lookout for desertions and had nearly as
many new men to go into the mines In
the New River region few men were
brought out, but the district is working
practically full. Kanawlla Valley working
forces show some decrease, but the agi-
tators had that region pretty well tied up
before.
At Clarksburg the operators have been
chatting because their mines were tied up
early while Fairmont carried off a good
part of their trade. Thus far no effort
has been made to start the Clarksburg
mines, but it is given out today that
unless the operators will begin import
ing men next week. The Clarksburg
strikers are firm and are not likely to
accept the offer.
Miner and labor leaders generally take
little stock in the st. Louis meeting ex-
cept as 1t may aid the miners In cash..
They do not believe an order for gem
eral strike could be enforced and as for
amalgamating all the labor unions and
starting political movement, not more
than the most preliminary steps can be
taken

RBDEEMING MUTILATED MONEY
Full Value OF Note II Paid for Fra.
ments Representing Three.F1fth sofHt

According to the present rule of the
redemption division of the United States
Treasury nothing less than fragments
representing two-fifths of a bank note or
greenback will be redeemed by Uncle
Sam IF that much, of a note is pre-
sented thu United States writes Clifford
Howard, On Destroying Million Dol
lars a Day. in the September Ladies'
Home Journal" will allow the holder
one-half the face value of it, while three
fifths Of note will be redeemed for full
value. OF course, there are occasional
exceptions to this rule.
.tSome time since a man from New
England forwarded a bunch of diseol-
ored paper money that he had found bur-
led in field. 1t had lain in the ground
SO long a time. and had been SO generous
ly feasted upon by worms. that it fell to
pieces as soon as it was touched. 1t
would have been utterly impossible for
any one unacauainted with the secret
marks that the Government places on it's
bills to gather these decayed pieces of
money together in their proper order; but
some of the clerks in the redemption di-
vision of the Treasury are particularly
expert in sorting and deciphering bits of
mutilated money, and through long years
of experience are able to tell in an instant
to what particular note or kind Of note
a certain scrap belongs. When the pieces
Contained in this bunch of old money
were finally sorted and mounted it was
found that while there was not one conf
plete note remaining (not more than two
or three scraps in some instances) the
rightful owner was entitled to redemp-
tion Of four hundred dollars. Unfortun-
ately for the man who found the money,
he could not prove his ownership nor
become Of the missing portions of the
notes. Consequently the United States
was the gamer in this case. Accidents
OF this nature are by no means rare. as
is attested by the number of boxes of
charred remnants of money which are
kept among the curious records of the re-
deinption division.

OHILDREE's SONGS.
Their Value in the school and Also
In the Home

"a child who loves music and flowers
is inately refined. This has been nv OBJ
servation among all classes of Juveniles.
whether of gentle birth or so-called .slum,
surroundings
Mrs. Anna W. Cheston. the director of
the department of music in the Philadel-
phia Normal and High Schools and teach
er of methods in the summer music classes
Tor pedagogues, emphasized this thought
during chat to-day about children's s
songs and musical education. 1t was Mrs.
Cheston who secured the introduction of
music lessons to the routine work of the
public schools a short time ago. The sue
cess of the movement has been marked.
and prophesies of great results in the gem
eral culture of the community are heard
on all sides. Mrs. Cheston continued:
The most enthusiastic advocates of mu-
sic study in public schools are the pupils
themselves There are few children who
DO not love music but their taste easily
is influenced by their songs they hear and
are taught to sing. From earliest infancy
they should be given a musical pabulurn
OF melodies such as Reinecke. Schumann
Abt and Emerson wrote There ! re M
merous collections of children's songs
The mother who can sing these simple
songs to her baby has power which cam
not be overestimated More characters
are built upon cradle songs that many
OF US fancy. Classical aelodies now are
taught In our schools, Ind the delight
with which they are sung by the students
is most encouraging to lovers of art, I'm
not gong to say one word about the or
gan man and upright piano creatures who
grind out airs on the public byways. The
club women can decide that problem.
Chlidren appreciate good music prob
ably not Wagner festivals-they are adj
vanced studies for post-graduates in the
science of sound-but the children who to-
day are given Schumann and Reinecke in
the schoolroom will be the Wagnerian
enthusiasts of another decade. The value
of music in the home can not be too
OF families in which good music is played
and sung often may be selected by an OBJ
serving teacher. There is no greater re-
timing influence
But the language and the sentiment of
song as We'll as the melody are important
considerations. Failure to appreciate the
thought of story in song frequently
makes juvenile singing expressionless. and
almost degenerates into rhythmical Shout
ing. This hurts the voice as well as the
sensitive ear. In the home as well as the
schoolroom, children should be requested
to sing softly. Gradually their own SYM
pathy with the sentiment of the song
will lead to an observance of shades of
expression. The language of children's s
songs always should be refined and strong
in simplicity Progress In music reacts
upon the general school work of the young
student, There is no better discipline than
sight reading. The mind simply can not
read intervals, and the habit of concen-
tration it compels has been pronounced a
valuable assistant to work in other de-
partments. Exchange.

gained by giving him up. He told his

before he would be able to bring in his

of spending year out of reach of civili-
