HARD TO RECoGNIzE.-AtA Anietam,
Just after the artillery had been sharp
ly engaged, the Rockford, Virginia,
battery was standing, awaiting orders.
General Lee approached and stopped
a moment.
A dirty-faced driver of about II
said to him:
General, are you going to put US in
again p
Think of such a question from such
source, addressed to the general of
the army, especially when that gene
rails name was Lee.
ayes, my boy" the stately officer
answered, kindly, ~ have to put you
in again. But what is your name?
Your face seems familiar to me some

II don't wonder you didn't know
me, sir; I'm so dirty" laughed the
lad, "but I'm BobW

UNEXPECTED ALARM.-The church
at c. had a new communion ser
vice, solid silver of handsome design
the gift of a wealthy friend. 1t was
kept in heavy iron chest, securely
placed in stout closet in the church
and yet it was near being stolen before
it had been in the society's possession
month.
1t was communion Sunday. The
new service was used for the frs,
ii ne, and was then replaced in its
strong chest and the closet securely
locked. Meanwhile a thief had Sc
creted himself IN the church, and
when the building was closed and
locked for the night he began opera
tions.
With the aid of skeleton keys and
other tools, he opened the closet and
the iron chest. He packed the silver
in bag, slung it over his back, and
prepared to make his escape through
one of the vestibule windows.
Suddenly he was startled by SOUND
as of approaching footsteps at the far
ther corner of the vestibule. 1t may
have been rat or a mouse, for beside!

in the church.
The fellow made haste TO reach the
window-stool, and feeling his hand il
contact with rope, on the impulse O

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY.-Mrs. Jas.
K. Polk was deyout Presbyterian,
and of course a regular church-goer.
Her husband went with her, but as an
active politician congressman, COVER
nor, and then president-he had many
companions who seemed to forget the
distinction between Sundays and week
days.
1t was sometimes awkward for him
to excuse himself from such people on
the ground that he must 60 to church,
and his wife fell into the way of man
aging the matter for herself-and for
him. Shawled and bonneted, she
would enter the room and ask her
husband and his friends to 60 with
her to church, as she did not wish to
go alone.
This habit of hers soon became gen.
orally known, and mutually enough, if
a politician did not wish to attend
church he took care to be out Of Mr.
Polk's company as service time drew
near.

KISSING UNDER BAN.-The United
States treasury authorities have ar
rayed themselves against the popular
practice of kissing and hugging.
Travellers returning from Europe, it
seems, are generally met by from two
to twenty friends on the pier, so that
an army of thousand or more is Of
ten waiting for long anticipated kisses
as vessel approaches her dock. Each
kiss and each hug means at least q
minute, so that hours are really wasted
in the tended greetings. Baggage is
far from the minds of the happy per-
sons, and the patient custom.house
officials and their duties are forgotten.
Some of these innocent. kissers are
wicked smugglers, too, the authorities
say. Hiding their guilt behind re-
sounding smack men and women
sometimes pass diamonds and other
valuables to friends, and 80 rob the
government of needed revenues. Not
long ago, the inspectors thought they
had solved the riddle. A barricade
was fixed on the several piers. But
when the ships were docked, the bar.
ricades were broken. The throng of
watchers demolished the obstruction,
and, with open arms, rushed on the
pier. The government inspectors were
pushed aside, and resounding smacks
awoke the echoes. They are pretty
mad now, and have applied to the
treasury department for a law that
shall abate what they consider the
nuisance.

enough to surprise and please Lola her
self, who wished that it should be as
close as possible by the time that the
blow fell which she was daily expect
ing.
It came all too quickly.
She had been home less than week
and had ridden over one morning with
Sir Jaffray to county meeting at a
town a few miles away when on her
return she was told that a gentleman
was waiting to see her.
She knew without glancing at the
card who it was
She had nerved herself to be always
ready for the meeting, however, and
without staying to change her habit she
went at once to the library, where her
visitor was waiting.
There was not sign of embarrass.
ment on her face or in her manner AZ
she passed the servant and entered the
room, and no one could have detected
even culver in her voice as she went
up to the man whom she hated with q
deadly loathing and said as quietly as
TO q stranger:
"You wish TO zee me, 1 understand.
What is it?"
Pierre Turrian waited in silence until
the servant had closed the door, and
they stood thus looking steadily into
each other eyes.

THE YAP DOLLAR.

First and last there have been many
different kinds of dollars in the United
states-silver dollars, gold dollars and
multifarious paper dollars of some
times dubious value; and in other
countries, iron, platinum, brass, bone,
ivory, and even wheat and cotton
goods, have done duty as money. But
the oldest "dollar" ever seen thus
far, perhaps, is that coined, or rather
quarried, by the chiefs of the island of
Yap, one of the group of Caroline is
lands in the South Pacific.
These Yap coins are even more
cumbersom to carry about than the
great silver "daddy dollar" of our
own land. Vastly more cumbersome,
indeed, since they weigh 80 pounds
apiece and over two feet in diameter
A defaulting cashier would certainly
have difficulty in absconding with
many of them
Two of these strange pieces of mon
ey may now be seen in the National
Museum at Washington. They arc
circular disks of coralline rock, dull
white in color, yet apparently crystal
line, 26 inches in diameter and from 8
to 4 inches thick. At the centre of
each there is a round hole 81 inches in
diameter.
The Yap chief enjoys monopoly in
this singular sort of coinage. When
in want of money, he has but to send
his slaves to the quarry to fashion as
many fiat "dollars" as he needs.
His treasury is number of long
poles set on supports in front of the
royal hut. The dollars are strung on
the poles like beads in a necklace
and the number of strings of these
great stone dollars possessed by a
chief is the gage of his wealth and
respectability.
But if utility should he character
istic of money, dozen grindstones
piled on pole would be of more value
than the whole of it.

HE OUGHT TO BE HAPPY.

A writer in The News and Courier,
commenting on the condition of the
South Carolina farmer, says:
ut was good fortune recently to be
a guest of Mr.. w. L. Rogers, who
lives three miles from the hourishing
town of Darlington. I hope he will
pardon me for drawing attention to
himself and farm, but I think all such
should serve as object-lessons to farm.
ers, especially to cottontots, and as
only few can see with the naked eye
it is next best that the many should
see with the minds eye.
"Mr. Rogers lives at home. If there
should rot be farmer in the west he
would not suffer. He has, in abun,
dance, the following good things, that
go far towards making the pleasant
and happy home: Cows, that furnish
plenty of rich milk and butter; hogs
that supply homemade meat; fowls
vegetable and flower gardens orch,
ards, with peach, apple, plum and
other trees, with several varieties Of
grapes a barn filled with peavine hay,
corn and oats, and fat horses and
mules. He informed me that he had
not fed his stock on corn since he 'laid
by in July, a statement that I could
not understand, as his horses were in
the best of condition, until I examined
his peavine hay and found grain, as
well as the best of hay. Make note
of this, fellow farmers.
"He studies the needs of his soil and
the requirements of his crops, hence is
successful. With stumps removed he
can use improved machinery. He had
marketed all of his tobacco, but was
still holding some of his cotton for
better prices"

not appear to be just. But so frequent
are the offenses against sanitary laws
in the situation and construction OF

would be positive benefit if at least
half of the wells in the United States

A SIG~AL FOR THE FAMILY.--Eve-

of nervousness and worriment when
obliged to entertain unexpected "com-

fear that something will "run out" for

such circumstances as these the family

mention the enigmatical letters "F. H.
B." in such manner as not to attract
the attention of the guests around the
board. Immediately the members OF
the family are aware of the circum-
stances, and discreetly partake very
lightly, if at all, of the viands in ques-

was solved by a quickwitted guest a
few days ago, and the hostess after
ward laughingly confessed her little
scheme. "F. H. B." in this instance
stands for "family hold back"

Philadelphia for 1897 will exceed
those of 1896 by nearly 50,000,00O
gallons and it is expected that dur
ing the present year there will be an
increase over 1897, as oil is now being
shipped from Philadelphia to foreign
ports formerly supplied by Russia.

ALL ideas of a peaceful solution of the
trolley problem must be abandoned, as
the two companies appear to be farther
apart than ever. The last time they were
before the Board of Freeholders there
seemed to be chance of an amicable ad-
justment of affairs, but the managers of
the Monmouth Company, imbued with
the idea that they were masters of the sit
uation, tried the grasping tactics that
have characterized their actions through
out the entire proceedings, and insisted on
being let into the field with the New
York and Philadelphia people and were
not content with an ordinary admission
but must needs be ON the ground floor
The other corporation was not ready to
accede to this demand and then the Mon
mouth people decided to keep the battle
on So the people who want trolley will
keep on waiting until one or the other of
the rival factions is successful in securing
a franchise. Neither of the corporations
has yet respected the resolution of the
Board with reference to paying expenses
already incurred, and until they do so
neither should have any standing nor at
tention.
