Why GaribaIdi Will Not Go at Once.

La Tribuna di Roma says that Rio
ciotti Garibaldi, son of the great Carl.
baldi, has given up his idea, for the
present at least, of taking an expedition
to Cuba in aid of the insurgents, for the
reason that he believes that the prospect
is good for republican uprising in
Spain, and for that he would reserve
himself. In the meantime thousands are
enrolling themselves ION paper" for the
Cuban cause in and around Rome. One
young woman, Signorina Giovanna
d'Areo, formerly an artists model, pro-
poses to raise corps of amazons, Of
which she offers to take command.

A Genuine Bill, but Split.

A few days ago sensation was caused
at Ionia by the discovery of a counter
felt 500 silver certificate. The bill had
been offered to the cashier Of one of the
local banks and pronounced by him to
be bogus, and this opinion was confirm
ed later by a civil service officer who
went there to investigate the matter.
The bill had partially split in two, and
it was supposed to be one of the kind
where the front and back are printed
on separate sheets Of thin paper by the
counterfeiters and then pasted together,
with the silk threads between. The bill
was sent to the treasury officials at
Washington, and ON Monday the Ionia
cashier and the secret service officer
were astounded at dispatch from
Washington stating that the bill was
genuine and that 500 in currency had
been sent on to redeem it. This is the
first instance known of United States
note splitting in two.-Detroit Free

The Fastest Armorclad In the World.

In very complete account of the
japanese battleship Yashima in Cas-
sier's Magazine e. H. T. d 'Eynoourt
writes:
The speed trials of the vessel occupied
two days. The first day was devoted to
the forced draft trial, which was of four
hours duration The mean speed at
tanned during the trial was 1927
knots, while the mean of four runs,
taken over the admiralty measured
mile, was 1916 knots, or more than a
knot in excess of the guaranteed speed
of 1871. The engines developed just
over IA, 900 indicated horsepower,
which was kept up over the whole four
hours without intermission, the pressure
of steam being we'll maintained. The
pressure of air in the stokehole never
exceeded that due to a head of p
inches of water.
The speed of nearly 1917 knots estab-
fishes the Yashima as the fastest armor-
clad in the world, and when it is con-
sidered that only few years ago this
was the utmost that cruisers construct
ed specially for speed could attain it is
a distinction of which the japanese may
well be proud.
Notwithstanding the severe test of
the forced draft trial everything had
worked so we'll and smoothly that it
was decided to make the trial with
natural draft and open stokeholes on
the day following. The vessel anchored
off the Tyne for the night every body
sleeping ON board, which enabled an
early start to be made with the six
hours continuous steaming at full
speed.
The mean speed attained during this
period was 1926 knots, while the mean
of four runs over the measured mile
gave 1913 knots, and this speed was
maintained over considerable time
and might have been kept up over the
whole six hours if it had been consid-
cred desirable to do SO. The mean power
developed on this trial was $3.50 indi-
Gated horsepower, which was maintain
ed over the whole six hours.

AN INDIAN GIRLS RIDE.
She Braves Death to Be Married to the
Man of Her Choice.


An Indian romance which almost
rivals that of Pocahontas and Captain
John Smith comes from Pine Ridge
agency. William Jacobson, young fell
low in charge of one of the classes at
Carlisle, eloped with Julia Beallard, an
intelligent quarter bred Sioux. The
couple rode from Pine Ridge to Cha
dron, Neb, on their ponies during the
night pursued by the girl s relatives all
the way. They arrived in Chadron in
the gray dawn of the morning, thor
oughly exhausted, and at once proceed
ed to secure.a license. Then in the pres
ence of friends of the bride they were
made man and wife.
The couple met about two years ago
at Carlisle, where the young woman
was attending a private seminary, and
became enamored of each other. They
became engaged, when the girl received
a letter ordering her home to Pine
Ridge. The young couple kept up cor
respondence, fearing that their attach
ment would become known to the
parents Of the girl, VINO were very much
opposed to her forming an alliance with
other than thoroughbred Sioux A let
ter to the girl was finally intercepted
by young Sioux admirer and laid be-
fore the mother Thereafter rot letter
was permitted Becoming Warmed at
not receiving an answer, jacobson de-
eided to go to Nebraska and investigate.
Upon arriving at the agency he con-
trived secret interview with the girl
and arranged an elopement.
One dark night the girl stole forth,
and procuring a saddle horse from the
corral slipped halter over his head
and led him to the outskirts of the In
dian village, where she was met by her
lover in a lonely canyon near the his
toric battle-ground of Wounded Knee.
Mounting their ponies, they started on
their journey to Chadron. The echoes
of the hoof beats awakened the village,
and 30 mile chase was begun over the
toughest country this side of the Rock
les. The journey was dangerous and
hazardous. The road at times winds
around precipices and rugged cliffs and
through rough canyons, where a mis-
step might plunge the riders into eterni'
ty. For four hours they rode on theil
ponies, expecting at every moment tc
hear the cry of their pursuers. When
the lights of Chadron appeared in view
the pursuing party increased their pace
hoping to overtake the fleeing couple
before they entered the city. They failed
in this attempt, however, and the Low
ers managed to elude them. Salt Lake

Chemicals In the Laundry,

One of the safest chemicals is am
monia. Two tablespoonfuls of ammonia
Will be sufficient to soften four gallons
OF water. A small amount of Washing
soda, dissolved first in boiling water
and stirred through a tub of cold water,
will accomplish the same result, but
when soda is used in large quantities it
will rot the strongest fabric Borax,
though somewhat more expensive, is a
safer article. It seems to have the pow
er of starting the dirt. 1t is used extern.
sive1y in Holland and Belgium, and the
Dutch laundresses are among the most
famous in the world. In this connection
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
gives the following directions:
Half pound of borax is sufficient to
soften ten gallons of warm water 1t
not only saves labor, but it saves soap.
Dissolve the borax in the water. If the
water is soft, use only half the quantity
of borax given. Shake out the soiled
clothes loosely, rub soap on any especial
ly soiled spots and immerse them in the
boraX and water. After stirring them
thoroughly let them lie overnight. In
the morning lift the pieces out one by
one and rub them on the board Throw
them into boiler of cold water. in
which a half pound of dissolved soap
has been stirred. Let the clothes boil up
once in the boiler, then lift them out
and rinse them in cold water. Add a
teaspoonful of borax to every gallon of
water used in the rinsing.

Notes For Pupils In Music,

The benefit derived from your lesson
depends on the manner in which it is
practiced.
The vibrato (not the tremolo) is de-
sirable and proper in any voice when
there is any occasion for it's employ
ment. 1t is poor master, but most
gracious servant. In other words, it
must be under perfect control
There is q tendency to carry the lit.
tie finger straight or to cramp it in so
that 1T is very much more curved than
the others. Both are faults and should
be avoided by piano players.
To read music fuently from an early
stage of study is of vast advantage to
the student, and accuracy in reading
should be cultivated early and late un-
til proficiency has been reached.
On the day preceding your lesson do
extra work on the harder parts, and as
soon as you can after taking your lesson
practice it over carefully, calling to
mind your teachers instructions, and
try to find the difficult places for pas.
sage work. -Etude,
