RAT-TRAPs FOR AN EARTHQUAKE
In connection with the late earthquake
a funny story is told of well-known
conservative member OF Parliament.
He lives in an ancient and rst.infested
mansion near what seems to have been
ne center of the disturbance. When
the earthquake disturbed his slumbers,
he jumped out OF bed, exclaiming that
be would stand this sort OF thing no
longer. With the resolution of des-
perate man, he then procured and set
two large rat-traps, and retired to rest,
feeling that he Was prepared for the
worst Traps have been set before
now to catch sunbeams; but this is the
first time on record of their being em
pIoyed against earthquakes.-London

LETTER FROM FAIRFAX.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazettel
BUSH HILL, Jan. 25.-Mrs. Matte
Meetze, whose home is near Catletts
station, on the Southern Railway, has
been here on visit to Mrs. Minnie
Monroe and family, the only sister OF
her husband, and all were glad to well
come her. She slapped of on her way
home from Washington, where she had
been on visit
Miss Lizzie Brown, whose smiling
face we have missed for some time, is
now on visit to her sister, Mrs. Jen-
ME Moore, near Aldie, Loudoun county.
We hope she may have a pleasant out
ing during her stay.
Miss Lillian Utterback, who has so
successfully conducted one OF the
public schools of the county, which
wes closed some time since, has been
teaching in the family of Mr.. T. Ma
son Hirst, near here. who is relative
of the young lady, for the past three
weeks, and those committed to her
charge were dutiiul and obedient. The
school she formerly had, the Grovetop,
near the home of Squire Owen Kerby
will be reopened to day week, February
1st, at which time she will assume
charge. Miss Utterbeck is most ex-
cellent young lady, and she is well
qualified for the position of teacher,
which she so acceptably fills.
Our young friend MIR. Jack Moore,
who has been very i'll for several weeks
past with pneumonia at his fathers
home near Frai coma station, is at this
writing slowly improving, although he
is still very weak and it may be some
time yet before he is able to go about.
He has all the care and attention that
parents and friends can give. We hope
he may soon be restored to health and
strength.
MIR. John A. Marshall, ofAlexandria,
has already delivered 10 the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company large lot OF
Dice white oak tics, which were gotten
out in the woods on Evergreen Farm
and purchased of DR.. w. NJ. Smith.
Mr.. F. NJ. Hirst is doing the hauling.

The Yellow Coin Poured Into the
Governments Golfers.
The healthy condition of affairs in this
country and the complete restoration ef
confidence is illustrated by a hint conveyed
to the subtreasurer at New York by Treas
urer Roberts. This intimation was that
the government is not seeking additions
to the gold reserve, which today stands at
$145,O91 .435. with little probability of a
material decrease. On the other hand, the
indications point to q further accumula-
tion in the fact of instructions that the
government Is not seeking additions 1t
has been many years since any such in
structfons were issued. On the other hand,
up to few months ago, there was q
constant scramble for gold
Treasury officials say today that if the
situation keeps up, with the prospect that
the tarin will soon begin to furnish sufii-
cient revenues to meet all expenses the
government may have to begin paying out
gold to prevent exhaustion of the available
paper currency.
The available paper currency today
stands at 81. .157. 76S. many millions in ex-
cess Of the limit which it ought to reach
before gold is paid out. The movement of
currency has been strong especially in
notes Of small denominations.
In July. 1893. the treasury began paying
out the gold reserve, which was then small
Owing to a deficit in revenue the currency
reserve had reached the small amount Of
about $27,OOO.O00. and 1t was decided to
begin paying out the yellow o coins. The
in the succeeding year the first bond sale
took place to replenish the gold reserve.
This was followed by succeeding bond
sales The gold reserve reached its lowest
point February IL, 1895. It was then ST.
$40. 1S1. It again went very low in Feb
ruary, 1896. touching "a. SOS 49S.
