Increasing Circulation

One of the encouraging developments of
the day, says the Financial Record, is the
increase of money in circulation. The total
amount of all kinds of money Nov. issued
was $2,475 l59,5l9; of this s6Os, ,5s3, 1877 is in
the treasury; this leaves $l,S66,57 1872 in
actual circulation, or $24.s7 per capita, a net
gain Of $49,979,39O within year.
1t is probable that the disbursements of
the United States treasury will for some
time to come exceed receipts; the deposits
OF gold from the mines for coinage and the
imports from abroad will probably tend to
steadily increase the amount of specie in
circulation. The national bank circulation
increased $969,0O7 in October. It is probable
that the new per cent bonds will be util.
lied to more considerable extent in the
near future for circulation. At present the
banks are utilizing them as deposit for
security for United States deposits.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.
Should Be Periodically Observed
by Young and Old

Should Be Periodically Observed
by Young and Old.
Observing high days, holidays and
birthdays is something of which great
many people are very fond. 1t has been
said that we. need more holidays.
Granting this, but there are many per-
sons who never observe any, whatever
they may be.
| There is one day that is full of sug-
gestions-a day so linked with the his
tory of our country that patriotic senti-
ments come to our hearts at its mere
mention. Washington's birthday
ought to have special programme of
| it's own. 1t would be an excellent idea
&c make it a history day, Stars and
Stripes day, to hold meetings and festi-
walls in commemoration of the great and
glorious struggle that gave US our lib
crty.
Every public school in the land ought
to mark the event by suitable exercises.
AS the schools close for this day, why
not make the afternoon previous gala
season, when the events of Washing
tons career may be reviewed, patriotic
addresses listened to, suitable music
rendered and entertainments, such as
charades or plays appropriate to the
time, be given by the pupils? Make it
day to be looked forward to; day of
delight; a day on which the young
and unfolding mind may grasp the idea
that such patriotism as the Father of
His Country possessed is sufficient to
make a name immortal.
Teach them that love of country is
one of the greatest of virtues, and that
only by loyalty and fidelity to the flag
and the great principles it represents
can the men and women of the future
hope to maintain that high position
which the United States holds among
the nations of the earth.
And for the young people themselves,
who are ouS of school and just begin
ming the seric is affairs of life, let there
be old-folks' concerts and entertain
ments, continental parties, masquer-
AIDES in the coca old costumes of the
days of Washington. Let there be sham
battles, with snow forts, if so be it that
snow is plenty. And it would not hurt
tie elders to take hand in this fray.
L. would warm up the blood, stir up the
ideas, rouse the patriotism and break
the monotony that too often settles
over a middle-aged existence. There
should be songs and feasting, and dane
ing and rejoicing all along the line,
and the assembled guests should thank
Heaven that such a man as Washing
ton ever lived, a man whom nothing
could discourage, man who through
trials, disappointments, vicissitudes,
treachery, ingratitude and persecution,
kept ever alive in his heart one hope,
one idea, one determination, and that
was to secure to the citizens of this
country and their posterity forever the
blessings of civil and religious liberty.
And when the days festivities are over,
the most appropriate ending will be
that all join in the doxology:
Praise God from whom all blessing dow.''

a taunting yell to the band which he
could see swiftly approaching down the
hillside; but her arms were strong, and
though her face was white and her eyes
blurred, she chung to her protector
throughout the wild ride which fol-
lowed
On swept Jehu with his load, and on
came the band of red coats. The woods
by the roadside seemed to rush past
them. The breathing of the horse was
soon 1abored and hard, and his black
sides were covered with foam; but his
swift pace was never relaxed for an in
slant. Once or twice he stumbled and
nearly fell, but sharp pull on the
bride and quick word from the major
restored him and the mad race contin-
ued. His hoofs Numbered over the
rude bridges, they struck fire from the
stones in the road, but Jehu minded
none of these things, for life and death
hung on his efforts that day.
For an hour the mad race continued,
and then, when the borders of German
town were reached and the red coats
turned back in fear, Maj. Tallmadge
drew the rein on his black steed, and,
as he helped the wearied girl to the
ground, he said, with smile: "'Tis a
pity we lost that bread, Maggie, for
Washington sadly needs it; but far
more he needs what the bread con-
tanned and what he will soon have now.

A prayer which was none the less the
sincere expression of fervent gratitude
from the fact of its amusing and very
definite and needless illusions to in
finite power was made by New Hamp-
shire delegate at missionary conven-
ton some years ago. After offering
thanks for the Lords provision of His
servants to labor with strength and ear
nestness of purpose in foreign lands,
giving up the ties of home and all other
Interests in their devotion to the cause,
he concluded his prayer thus: land we
thank Thee, o Lord, for Thy wonderful
power over this world in which we live,
for although Thou hast made the earth
and caused it to revolve in a strange
manner, and with great velocity, and
although our missionaries are scattered
ali over the globe, still. so marvelously
hast Thou balanced the centripetal and
centrifugal forces that as yet not
single brother has been thrown frox

Paris shaving Rules.

The sanitary authorities of Paris have
issued stringent instructions to bar
bers, informing them that all metal in
struments must be plunged directly
after use into boiling soapy water. All
combs of tortoise shell, ivory of cellu-
loid must be replaced as far as possible
by metal, SO as to be more easily cleaned
and disinfected. Scissors, razors, clip
pers and brushes must be heated to 100
degrees centigrade, or placed in re-
ceptacle containing prescribed chem
zeal solution, before use. Shaving
brushes must be dipped in boiling
water. Instead of powder puffs, blow
ers must be used. Finally hairdressers
must wash their hands before passing
to another customer.-Detroit Free

On illness of his mother, returned to find
outwhat had been goingon over the hill.
Then it was observed that he looked
troubled and anxious, and the camp
somehow became aware that he had
visited the Orodelphia smelter to obtain
samples of the ore which the Grub
stake was shipping in such prodigious
quantities. while it was said that he
held many consultations with his law

that he had asked permission to go

ciatively over the story that went
round of how Neil had outwitted his
astute neighbor by sending an en-
lssary disguised as a workman to spy
out what the Grubstake levels might
disclose; and after that nobody was
surprised when it became known that
suit had been brought for $4,000 dam

the court the alleged intruder was sum-

of any ore from that portion of the

the two claims. And the knowing ones
had hardly time to demonstrate how
clearly all this chimed in with their
oft-repeated prophecies, when they
were given further opportunity to
prove how keen had been their pre-

the part of Col. Meredith, followed by

How u Grizzly Bear Punished Ht
Foolish TOrmentOr.

| How a Grizzly Bear Punished HIS
| Foolish TOrmentOr.
The town of Medicine Hat, in As
sinaboia, on the Canadian Pacific rail-
road, had in 1894 an attraction in the
shape of captive grizzly bear. He was
a hungry-looking brute, about the size
| of an ordinary cow, and was chained to
post in the center of a strong log pen.
The pen stood beside the tracks, about
200 feet from the station, and recent
rainstorm had made veritable mud
hole of it.
The bear was an object of lively in.
terest and curiosity to the townspeople
but more particularly to passengers Of
trains which stopped at Medicine Hat to
| change engines.
One day early in August the east
bound overland pulled in, and in few
! minutes the occupants of several
coaches were viewing the grizzly, who
was shutting around his quarters, look
ing very innocent and unconcerned.
His paws and shaggy gray coat were
covered with mud, and Bruin was not
q thing of beauty, still he appeared
contented and seemed to enjoy being
on exhibition.
Now, miscellaneous crowd of men
has, as rule, at least one individual in
it belonging to the class known as
"smart Alexis" This gathering was no
exception and the aforementioned per
son soon manifested himself. He be-
gan by granting at the bear, and fol-
lowed that up by throwing sticks and
small stones at him. Failing to excite
him by these means, he resorted to
others. Fixing a handkerchief on a
stick he Haunted it in Bruins face, and
ticl1led him on the nose with it, then
poked him in the ribs; but, save an &C.
casional growl, the bear did not seem
to mind his tormentor. One or two gen.
tlemen now advised the funny man to
desist, suggesting that his bearship's
patience probably had limits. Ignor-
ing the friendly warning, the fellow
waxed holder, and, coming close up to
the pen, thrust an arm in between the
logs. Then the long-suffering bear saw
his opportunity and improved it. Sud-
denly and with startling swiftness, he
reared GA his hind legs until he doomed
high above the astonished man, and
then, with a deep growl, of anger, he
struck fiercely at his. prosecutor. For
a breathless second the man stood
bereft of the power of motion; then,
with n scream of fright, he tried to
draw back, but too late. The enormous
paw caught his arm in a CHANGING fash
ion, shredding his coat and shirt
sleeves, and scoring several ugly
scratches in the flesh, while an ava
lanche of mud and filth descended on
his luckless head, fairly obliterating
his features, and thickly smearing the
whole upper part of his person. The
bears revenge was complete. Swift
and sudden justice had been melted out,
and with shaken nerves and ruined
clothes, the smart man made his way
to the train, while some unfeeling men
in the crowd laughed outright, and the
grizzly hay down with what resembled
a sigh of relief.
The Canadian Pacific east-bound
overland bore that day man who was
not only sadder and wiser, but whose
propensity for stirring up the ami
mails had received a decided shock

The ears were first clipped and then

Second. THAT he ducks his head
