DESIGNS FOR PAPER MONEY.
VIII Probably Prevent Raising of
Government Totcs.

VIII Probably Prevent Raising of
Government Notes.
Secretary Gage has presented the
question Of the advisability of reform
in the designs of of United States paper
money. There are at present in cur
rent use, says the Washington Post.
three classes Of government paper
money - silver certificates, treasury
notes of 1890, and United States notes,
or greenbacks. In each of these classes
there are nine denominations, making
81 in all, each being represented by a
special design entirely dissimilar from
the others.
Secretary Cages plan is to have prac-
tlcally one design for the three one
dollar notes, another for the twos, and
so On up to $1,000, the highest. The
reading necessarily would be different
on each denomination. In order that
the three classes of paper money NAV
be readily distinguished the seals and
numbers in each class will be printed
IN distinctive colors. The numerals on
each note will be made very prominent.
The secretary, argued that the new de-
signs would in great measure pre-
vent the raising of notes, as the design
would at once identify the denomina-
zion independent of the numerals.
The secretary had with him at the
last cabinet meeting samples of the new
designs, and all of the members present
expressed themselves as highly pleased
With the scheme. Unless sonethi1r,,,
foreseen occurs to prevent this plan will
be carried out as soon as the plates can
be prepared.

cording to the Chicago Times-Herald,
had recently made a tour of the prov
ince, "you will find in places remote
from railroads a remnant of that sim
picity pictured by the poet of Evangel-
inc. One of these primitive people was
an old lady, who had never set foot out
side of her native hamlet. She could
have told from hearsay all the history
Of all the kings and queens of England,
I do not doubt, but certain bigoted
loyalty to the crown kept her from
Knowing anything concerning the
United States. When I was introduced
to her as Yankee she looked hard at
me and inquired how it happened that
I was SO dark, with black hair and
WhislSers.

'and he had yellow hair and a yellow
goatee, and I thought all Yankees
looked like that
"She next inquired if I lived in the
ssStates.' I told her that I did when I
was at home, whereupon she said she
supposed I was often in New York and
might see her granddaught there.
asked her in what part of New York
she lived, and she said in Minnesota,
and that she looked exactly as she her
self did at that age.
:" And they do say she is very good
looking, said the oldlady, with pardon
able pride, 'and I wish you would tell
her to write home to the folks oftener.'

the good soul happy by the slight de-

SPLIT LOGS FOR a LIVING,

Followed by Two Girls

Occupation I7nTnortaliEed by Lincoln
Followed by Two Girls.
Splitting logs isthe vocation followed
by two women in the woods back of
Wallis station, on the Pennsylvania
railroad. Annie and Mary Wilson are
the names Of these two women. They
are sisters They split rails and make
pit posts and caps for the Spring Hill
Coal company, whose works are be-
tween Wilmerding and Wallis. They
do all the work of Telling the trees,
saving them into proper lengths and
finally with their axes splitting them
into pit posts. They are, assisted to
some extent by their younger brother.
The girls work together always and
can swing an eight-foot cross-cut saw
through an oak tree with apparently
as much ease as some women run a
typewriter.
When the tree is sawed through and
ready to split one of the girls sets an
iron wedge into one end of the log and
with large maui weighing about 20
pounds drives it in, splitting the log
from end to end The operation is re-
peated until the log is split into sizes
for posts. Then the axes are. brou ght
into play and the posts trimmed up and
shaped. The girls came from Indiana.
THE work is not hard when you get
used to it," said one, "and then we can
make more money splitting rails and
making pit posts in one day than we
could in week working in a kitchen.
What's the difference, SO long as the
work is honest, how one earns living?
Although I work hard every day, rain
or rs shine line, ] never get sick. Twas never
sick IN my life. The people around
here all talk a bout us, but we don It care
for that. We are earning a good liv-
ing and don't owe anyone a cen To-. -

A Variable SNAKE STORY.

During the late 'cold spell" Joe
Warden, Charlie Peery, Will Moore
and perhaps others were turkey
hunting on the Peak and come upon
the track of huge snake, Literally
abe trail of serpent. They follow
ed the spoor to the south of the
Peak where they found an immense
black snake asleep in little spot of
sunshine which Warden declares
was not much bigger than a buck
wheat cake and so we'll defined was
the erea of warmth that about three
inches of the tail which projected
into the shadow was found to be
frozen stark and stiff. And this
is irue-absolutely and literally
true, if we can believe the solemn
observation of the three able bodied
witnesses. They all differ as to the
length of the val mint. however
