SECURITIES BY OCEAN MAIL.


The mail steamships for Europe have
carried during few days recently sew
eral million dollars worth of the new
securities of the Union Pacific Railroad
company sent abroad to take the place
of the old securities. The shipments
have been made by the Mercantile
Trust company, representing the
Union Pacific reorganization commit
tee, to the Bank of Holland and the
Bank of Montreal, London. The securi-
ties have gone by registered mail in
packages containing $50 bonds or GER
tificates of stock. Each package has
weighed about 25 pounds, the postage
upon it being about $50.
Nearly every large railroad reorgani-
zation transaction is accompanied by
similar shipments of securities both
from and to this country. Sometimes
the securities are expressed, but gen
orally the registered mail is used and
the securities are insured against loss.
Postage stamps of large denomina-
tons are placed upon the packages.
In the case of shipments from this
country 81, 50 and IS stamps are used,
or sometimes stamps of the old style
Columbian issue, which, besides 81, So
and S. stamps, also included SO and 81
stamps. The Columbian stamps are
still obtainabe at their face value.
When a shipment is made from Eng
land shillings, 10 shillings, 6 and IS
stamps are used. These high-value
stamps are much priced by collectors,
and, though cancelled, have n market
able value that sometimes equals so per
cent of their original postal value. This
marketable value is well known to the
leading Wall street banking houses,
and in the case of several recent reor-
CARNATIONS, careful arrangements were
made TO have the cancelled stamps pre-
served and sold to stamp dealers, the
proceeds being turned in as part of the
reorganization committees receipts

W. arr I'd
to Writra
AND

stay IN TINS country, write book tull
of errors about Americas most cher
shed institutions, so American sum
mer visitors to England bring home inn
pressions about what is apparently q
bulwarll of the British throne that are
equally false, if not equally malicious.
The American visitor apparently con-
cludes that a woman must be no bet
ter than she ought to be if she is Il
barmaid. His reasoning, presumably,
is based on what he has seen or heard
of the pretty waiter girls i'll the con-
cert saloons which hourished here a
score or more years ago. No woman
who works in drinking place fire..
quented by men can be respectable, in
his opinion. His opinion is strength
ened by the fact that in this country re-
spectacle women do not go to saloons.
Nov an English, or Irish, or Scotch
girl becomes a barmaid just as girls be-
come shop-women. She prefers 1t to
being a servant, for the pay, although
small, is more, and, while the hours are
even longer she is freer and, at any
rate, sees more of what she considers
life. There is no more reason for
considering barmaids disreputable es
q rule than for SO considering shop
girls. The presence of men, which is
apparently basis for that opinion, is
reason for the opposite. A barmaid
often regards every customer who is
not too much above or below her social
ly as u possible husband, and the pros
pect of matrimony keeps her well be-
haved. She has thus not only a reason
for choosing her career which the shop
girl lacks, but also an additional reason
for remaining virtuous.
"Of course there are disreputable
barmaids just as there are disreputable
shopgirls, just as there are disreputable
eountesses. ] am not acquainted with
eountesses or with shopgirls, but have
known no end of barmaids, and not one
whom | cultivated was evidently other
wise than respectable. The few of
whom | had my doubts did not Guilt
vate. With one barmaid | went once to
church, with another | correspondent
She wrote a fashionable hand and her
letters were as correctly spelled as a
Nassar girls.
Americans, reasoning from the lam
guage used in a saloon here, argue that
barmaid couldn't live in such en-
vironment and remain a good woman.
Her sense of modesty would become so
blunted that moral downfall would
follow. They forget that the presence
of the barmaid chastens the conversa-
ton of the customers of an English
public house. I've heard a cabman re-
proved by a barroom companion with,
"A Idly ears wot you say for using the
adjective bloody a word which with
us contains more association with the
Spaniards in Cuba than with impro-
priety or profanity.
"The English objection to barmaids
is temperance one. They say that the
presence of barmaids encourages drink
ing, and that men drink more than
they otherwise would, or should, in Or
der to enjoy the society of the fair di-
whites of public houses. They may be
right. I am not in position to meet
this argument. IN. Y. Sun.

SERENITY.
American Women Are CuItiynting
This Oriental Excellence.

In the days to come, in a not far dis
tant future, shall we be spared lectures
on hygiene. We are surely doing all
we can to improve our physical condi-
ton. We have been taught many use
full things by the orientals. Look at the
way we sit, or rather lounge. We do
not hesitate to couch every spare COR
ner we can find about the house. The
divan effect is always exceedingly low,
and it is sumptuous with pillows,
though they may be only of the plainest
kind.
A snuggery of any sort is delight,
II we were obliged to seek our bed
rooms and there find spot for loung-
ing, we should simply never lounge,
never nap, never succumb to the weari-
ness of the flesh.
1t is one thing to take graceful lit
tie header among lot of pillows, and
quite another Systematically to go to
work TO undo a bed that is all furnished
and furbelowed for daytime niceness.
We have learned the Delsarte flop. Our
corners afford many a chance to prac-
tice it.
In the harems of the east chairs are
unknown to women. They are we'll
nigh perfect physically, and comely as
well. We are initiating their methods
in our manner of sitting, or rather re-
clining.
There are times when nothing short
of complete nerve relaxation will
do one particle of good. We secure this
when we take advantage of the low,
softly-cushioned couch. and its nest of
pillows to enjoy a quiet hour.
The idea is actually advanced that
we women, so long traduced because
of our Eighty nerves, are becoming
after fashion Japanese in type; that
we are beginning to wear an expression
akin TO that of our japanese sister.
We are really cultivating the seren-
fly, the reserve of the oriental matron
and maid? Are we to modify our inn
pulses, soften down our asperities, mold
our features from the self-contained,
the calm, the unruffled japanese?
If so the physical culture teacher,
the rest-cure faddist, the repose
coacher and all-around mentor will
most certainly have to go out of bust
ness.-Philadelphia Enquirer.

SWALLOWING THE WRONG WAY
What to Do II IA Foreign Substance
Enters :he Ntndpipe.


A most alarming accident, and one
which is often as serious as it looks,
is the sucking into the windpipe of a
morsel of food or some other substance.
This is not very rare accident, espe-
cially with children, whose hold-aIl,
after the pockets are erammed, is uanal-
ly the mouth.
The articles which have been drawn
into the larynX through the sudden
taking of a deep breath are of the most
varied character, such as jaellstones,
nuts, marbles, coins, buttons and pins,
not to mention burs, eorks, tin whistles,
leeehes, shawl pins, hairpins, false
teeth, and even real tooth, which
slipped from the foreeps just as it had
been extracted. Pieces of food are
sometimes inhaled through hearty
laughing or excited talking while eat
ing.
The entrance of the foreign sub
stance, even il it is only water, causes
violent coughing and a spasmodic clos
ing of the larynx, which almost amounts
to suffocation. If the body has passed
through the larynx into the windpipe,
or has been thrown out, this suffocatiye
attack passes off, and the sufferer may
think his trouble is over.
Sometimes it is, If the coughing has
expelled the intrduer, but if this has
fallen below the larynX the condition
is very serious. The body may be ex-
PEELED during another violent fit of
coughing, but often it can be removed
only by the operation of opening the
windpipe, known as traeheotomy.
The danger of the accident depends
much upon the size and nature of the
substance inhaled; If it is hard,
smooth and rounded body, such as a
melon seed, a small marble or pebble,
or the like, there is a very good chance
that it may be expelled in the same way
it entered.
To favor this expulsion the patient
should lie down. with the head lower
than the feet, or he may be held up for
q minute or two by the heels, in order
to get the assistance of the force of
gravity. This, however, should only
be done If the doctor is at hand to per-
