THE MONEY GLUT AND SCARCITY.
While 1t Is Piled Up IN the Treasury II Ia
Needed i'm Industry

Money is flowing into the national
treasury faster than expenditures carry
it out.
There is a cash balance now locked up
of nearly $300,000,0OO, increasing by
million or SO day, and 100000 will
come in payment of now bonds.
That is to say, an amount almost ex.
actly equaling the total greenback cur
rency is or in few days will be tightly
locked up in the treasury.
The money is needed in industry and
in moving the crops" But so clumsy
is our fiscal system that there is abso-
lutely no way of getting it out of the
treasury vaults or otherwise renderiny
it available for the uses of the country
Yet nobody in congress has yet seem
ed to realize the imperative necessity of
reforming a fiscal system so variedly
nischievous. Have we no statesmen?--

HICKS PREDICTIONS.
SAYS WE WILLHAVE COOL Wealth.
Err SOON.
Storms and Storm Conditions VIII Prevail
throughout September and
October

Marked equinoctial Disturbances will
most likely appear along the southern
coast at this time, in,which event rapid
and general high barometer will follow
disturbances inland from northwest,
causing cool, noTtherly winds over most
of the country until southern disturb
ances pass to the north Atlantic. From
about the Sth to 10th a general reaction
of the elements to storm conditions will
be in order. 'Storm conditions" are
not always attended by actual storms-a
fact wouldbe critics do not understand
The next regular storm period is CEN
trail on the 18th, extending fro a 18th TO
| 10Th. Watch reports of barometer and
thermometer closely at this time, and
see if warmth does not increase. The
| worst disturbances of this period will
t transpire until about Thursday 18th,
! on which date the moon is both new and
on the celestial equator. Sharp change
to cooler and higher barometer will fol,
low storms and dominate the weather
for the three or four days following.
From the 10Th to the 22nd falls a
period of reactonary storm conditions,
exactly coincident with the earth's eaua.
| tor passing centrally through thesun.
A general low barometer, developing in
extreme west and moving eastward, at
tended by great heat and breaking
| into active storms of thunder and wind
will be in the natural order from about
Monday 10Th to Thursday 22nd. ,All
south Atlantic coast regions should be on
the watch for equatorial hurricanes and
cyclones at all these September periods.
From the oath tC the end of September
many equinoxial disturbances will be
natural. Look for very hot weather,
south winds and low barometer, ending
about Monday 26th to Thursday 29th,
10 many storms of heavy thunder, wind
and rain. All gulf and coast regions
should be watchful. A sweeping high
barometer and the change to much
cooler will end September
We predict that m ch warm weather
will prevail in September, and even into
October, and that the month Of October
will be one of maximum storm pertnrba-
especially over north Atlantic
regions and the lakes.

PERFECTLY PREPOSTEROUS.
The Vows Made by the Holy Men of Be-
nighted India.

The ''holy men" of India frequently
put themselves under some perfectly
preposterous vow, with the object of
acquiring merit in the eyes o. the gods,
thus being able to confer blessings
for substantial consderations-upo
the admirirg faithful. fakir has reg
istered vow in the holy city of Benares
not to lie down, nor sit down, nor rest
himself in any way whatsoever as long
as he lives. Positively the only rest he
permits himself night or day, year in
and year out, IS to lean slightly with his
elbows on a stick of wood suspended
from bent pole fixed in the ground
Whilst enduring this appalling penance
the holy fakir is gaining additional merit
by telling his beads constantly. There
can be no manner of doubt that these
men do undergo most CHASTITY sufferings,
and yet, somehow, they live to fairly
ola age, and never seem TO come to much
harm. Furthermore, as every Anglo
Ipdian knows, they possess, or seem to
possess, certain apparent supernatural
powers in the way If divination, proph-
ecy and miracle working. All these are
no doubt tricks, but they are tricks of
particularly obscure kind.

SPARROWS FOR FOOD.
These Little Pests Are Real Treats When
Dsintily Served Broiled on Toast.

These Little Pests Are Real Treats When
Dsintily Served BroiIed on Toast.
We get this from the Birmingham
Ledger:
Many people know and many do not
know that we have great gastronomic
treat right with us always. Further
more, everybody wants to get rid of the
source of supply.
The pest we speak of is the English
sparrow, and it, too, is a tidbit. Broiled
sparrow on toast is one of the most de-
lightful of dishes to those who are will
ing to take the. trouble to eat them.
All through the coast states, from
New Jersey to South Carolina, the reed
bird has long been fancy dish ranking
in price with the canvas back duck and
diamond-back terrapin. In the season
tue reed birds aid the rice birds, for
they are the same, are served regularly
at ali the restaurants.
In Baltimore, few Yeas ago an Ital-
ian restaurant caused a sensation by
cutting the price in half for reed birds,
and it made the fortune of the propfie-
tor. People fiOcked there to get the
delicacy at a reasonable price. There
was this one difference between this res
taurant and the others. This place did
not serve the birds with the heads on,
The other places did.
Some meddlesome fellows went to
work and tested and investigated. The
birds were evidently fresh and their fla
vor was fine. The cheapness did not
come from stale birds. Farther investi-
CATION and detectives revealed that the
birds the Italian was serving were not
reed birds at all, but English sparrows.
Some people stopped the birds at once,
but others said if the birds were good
and the flavor right why not eat them
still, and they did.
The sparrow idea went to Washing
ton and then to Charleston, and at each
place the bird was pronounced dainty

Madrid, Nov. SIN political circles
it is assured that peace will be de-
clared the coming week. An impor.
tant politician here says in reference
to the question of the Philippines that
there exists an official note from Spain
to the United States in which the
former demands recognition of her
sovereignty over the islands. At
heart Premier Sagasta is glad to get
I'd of the expense, trouble and drain
of his life which the Philippines have
continuously been to Spain, and in his
mind the future government of the
country will have been rendered in
tinitely more easy when her rebellious
colonies have been disposed of.

The Kentucky Court of Appeals held,
in the recent case of Knauer VS.. The
City of Louisville, that city cannot
pass an ordinance which fixes the fees
to be paid public contractor for the
removal of the carcass of an animal
out of the city at such sum as that
the owner of the carcass could not
pay them and realize anything out of
the body, as dead animals are not per
Sc nuisances, and that an ordinance
which thus confiscates the property of
the owner and gives it to the public
contractor would deprive the owner of
property rights in the animal which do
not cease at it's death.

Those who talk volubly upon then
joys and their griefs are not generally
those who are capable of the profound
est happiness or the most intense SUI
fering. Those who can put into ready
words the sanctities of love, and fluent
ly express all its hopes and fears, have
seldom penetrated to its depths. Those
who utter glibly and unrestrainedly
all their upward strivings, their senti-
ments of contrition, their feelings of
reverence, their desire for worship,
are not usually the most truly relig-
ious or devout. For all that is highest,
deepest, and most profound in human
nature silence is better exponent
than speech. Not only is language in
adequate to convey the truth of such
things, but they are themselves drawn
down from their high estate by being
made subjects of ordinary converse
ton. Reticence on such matters is both
salutary and becoming.

Western Mining Notes.

The output of ore in the Cripple
Creek, Colo, district in October is val
ued at $1,4SS, 100, the highest for any
month in the history of the camp.
On Mount Chapaca, the Golden Zone
has struck a body Of free gold at q
depth of 300 feet, and mill tests are
being made with a view to the con-
struction of a mill The ledge is from
six to ten feet wide, and there is ore
enough exposed to justify the enter
prise.
A number of new strikes have been
made in mines in Tintic and elsewhere,
in Utah. Chief among these is the
Four Aces, where there was a strike of
good ore in both drifts from the 100
foot level. Assays give it values of
fifty ounces silver, thirty per cent lead
ard one dollar gold to the ton.
In Northport district. Wash, in the
Colville country, the Red Top group,
owned by Sutherland & Hayes has
made a strike Of gray copper, a ship
ment from which has given returns of

In the English schools of the lowest
grade there is class of drudges known
as pupil-teachers. They are mainly
girls from thirteen to sixteen in age,
who are employed in teaching the ele-
ments of reading, writing and arith-
metic. There are about thirteen thou
sand of these pupil-teachers in Eng
lish schools supported by local taxa
ton. This system Of having children
as teachers has not worked well. 1t
was cheap and reduced expenses. It
was cheap also in quality and eficien-
cy. A parliamentary committee has
recently condemned the system, and
proposed various measures for reform
ing it. 1t has advised the education
department to raise the age of the
child-teacher from thirteen to fifteen,
and in the course of a few years to
make it sixteen. 1t has also proposed
a system of training teachers for pri-
mary work. England is far behind
America in methods of primary in
struetion.
