duce sufficient money to meet the run

with alarm.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Colds Circuit of the Globe.

"a million dollars gold from Japan
en- route to the subtreasury in New York
detained for eight hours at Cedar Rap
ids, Ia" This very metal like as not
originated in California, crossed the
continent in the form of double eagles,
was shipped to London and converted
into sovereigns, went perhaps to France,
and, after circulating for a time In
the shape of 20-franc pieces, was sent
to Japan in payment for silks, and,
completing the circuit of the earth,
comes back to us in payment for cot
ton. The ceaseless ebb and flow of gold
round the globe in settlement of trade
balances proves that independent Of all
statutes it is by natural laws the money
of the civilized nations. When one re-
fleets on the heavy expense of transpor-
tation and the great loss from attrition,
however, it is surprising that in this
age of peace and international trade re-
lations there has not been established

An interesting law point arose in a
Tennessee case (Fink versus Evans, 95
Tennessee, 413). The suit was brought
to recover for personal injuries sus-
tanned by two dogs in head-on collision
with passenger train. The question
arose whether the engineer was re-
quired to blow separate blast for each
dog or might whistle to them collective
ly. Judge Wilkes said: 1T is insisted
by the plaintiff that, while the whistle
was sounded, it was intended for the
whole pack, and not for the three dogs
that were run over. This, however,
seems to be mere opinion of the wit
ness, as he was quarter of mile
away from the place when the whistle
was sounded. In addition, it would
we think, be requiring too great dill
gence for the engineer to whistle for
each particular dog, and more especially
as he had no means of informing each
dog that any special whistle was sound
ed for him"

Robbine American Authors.


The Bookman charges the English
publishers with suppression of truth
in the case of meritorious works by
American authors. Here is the charge,
the evidence in support of it and the
Booliman's comments: THE English
have a pleasant little way, whenever
they reprint an American book, of re-
moving from its title page all possible
indications of its source. We said
something about this two years ago,
and several English publishers at once
took umbrage at our remarks, and the
ubiquitous Mr.. Andrew Lang rushed
into print to defend his employers. But
here are two recent instances of how
the thing works: A new edition of the
Latin-French dictionary of Quicherat
has just appeared, and in it the Latin
dictionary of Lewis & Short, which
is purely American publication, is
credited to two English scholars This
Is DCCduSc luG Aldlt 1893, WHICH,
reprinted the book after Oxford had
adopted it as a standard, let it go forth
as a purely British publication. Much
the same thing happened in the case
of Capt, Mahan's works last summer.
The English published it, suppressing
the fact that its author was an officer
of the United States navy. Consequent
ly the Temps, of Paris, spoke of Capt.
Mahan as an English naval officer, and
Lieut.. Fitch, the American naval at
tache at the embassy in Paris, had to
write letter to the Temps in order to
make it correct this false ascription
| AS we said about two years ago, this
sort of thing is neither just nor even
honest, and we hope that American au-
| thors whose books find favor in English
eyes will insist upon appearing as
Americans, and thus gain for Their
country a credit which the English in
variably begrudge it."

Food experts in the department of ag-

pound for pound, peanuts have a food
value greater than beefsteall, and that
ten cents worth of peanuts furnishes

may be true, but it is not every body
who can get away with ten cents worth
of peanuts at a time. In fact, that
many peanuts will last some persons II

HE MEANT WELL.
But His Carelessness Got Him Into
Trouble with His Girl.

A young gentleman, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his. pecuniary means,
sought to remedy this defect and save the
money required for the purchase ofexpensive
flowers by arranging with gardener to let
him have bouquet from time to time in re-
turn for his cast-off clothes.
1t thus happened one day that he received
bunch of the most beautiful roses, which
he at once sent off to his lady love. In sure
of friendly welcome he called
at the house of the lady the same evening
and was not little surprised at the frosty
reception he met with
"You sent me note to-day" the young
lady remarked, after pause, in the most
frigid tones.
Ga note?" he inquired, in blank aston
ishment.
Certainly; along with some flowers
''To be sure | sent you some flowers"
"And there was note inside-do you still
mean to deny it?"

founded swain a scrap of paper, on which the
following words were written: Don't for.
