TIE JUVENILES.
Probably the Last Performance of
 Embryonic Barnums.

The live. stock and fowls on the premises of several homes in the neighborhood of TFird avenue and Beech street, are rejoicing. The circus is oyer, and they are once more care free, free at least a week. Saturday afternoon in tEe back yard attthe home of Master Jerry Harrison, an exhibition embracing all that childish memory could de- wise from observation of tbree ring circusses, dog shows, and negro minstrelsy, held the attention of about fifty juveniles. Fifteeu pias were left as admission fee at the door, and in the tomes of many to- day there will be much distress when Sunday raiment is donned, and the family pincushlon is exam ined. For the parade the youngs- ters disturbed the chickens, and se- cured a rooster which occupied the only open cage in the procession. A kitten which unsuccessfully etu- ded his pursuers, made the cham plon high dive after being shaken from the top of tall pole to which he was raised. A chariot race oc. cupied the attention of the audience for some time. and the performance ended with eOnfagratlon, in which a playhouse of one of the showmen was destroyed, which as a grand finale was a bowling success, if the voice of the puppy dragged from It's midst is to be regarded.
 Masters Perry Owens, David Veil, Freeman Owens, John Bryce Butterworth formed the company that gave the exhibition. and they threaten to repeat the performance next Saturday, though it is thought their parents will prevail upon them to occupy their time other
 wise, and give che cattle, chickens, dogs, cats and pin-cushions a rest

An actor tells of q tragic experience be had recently while playing to an audience in a little town in southern Texas. In one of the scenes of the play, in which he acts the villain. he hides himself in barrel, that he may listen to a conversation between the hero and heroine, whose future we'll being he is trying to destroy. h the town hall there was little if any property material. A barrel would do to conceal himself in, so hired hand" was sent out to find one. He succeeded. He slipped in the barrel with ease. The man and the woman appeared, and while they were in the midst of an animated conversation there came howl from the barrel thae fairly shook the rafters. This was fol- lowed by the eavesdropper craving out with his hands to his face, and he in turn was followed by swarm of wasps. The wasps got among the stage people and those in the audience, which created so much confusion that the show was broken up.

Bank Notes of Ancient Times.

Among the prc ucts of civilization which were familiar to the Chinese many centuries before they came into use in Eure 'e may be ekoned bank notes. There is at this moment in the possession of the Bank of England a specimen supposed to be one of the oldest extant, dasing from the four teenth century of our era. It is now proved, however, that paper money was issued in China as carly as 807 A. D. 4uese securities closely resem- bled the famous French assignats in being based upon the estates of the kingdom. The Bank of Stockholm claims to have been the first western institution to adopt paper currency. but the Bank of England must have followed very close with It's f20 notes. which were i.sued in 1696.

4 Sailors Gratitude.

Edward McGarry, the sailor of tho Resolute who was pardoned from Portsmouth jail by Gov Rollins, where be Was serving a six months sentence for disorderly conduct, has gone home to Norfo k Va, says the Manchester tN H. Union Before leaving he made fro'l a piece of the aft rail of the United States steamship Maine a paper weight, which Lawyer John H. Bartlett, who was his counsel, has for warded to Gov. Rollins. The design was suggested by McGarry. The top bears the inscription, Edward Me- Garry to Gov Rollins" while on the reverse is neatly engraved, Made from the aft rail of the U. S. Maine."
 McGarry is an artist as well as & sailor and has drawn sketch of an- other paper weight which he is to have made. When speaking of it be said: T wanted to show my apprecia- tion of what your governor did for me. The metal of which that paper weight is made came from the United States steamship Maine, now in Ha- FeSAAse 4iett bOl LOOh It AiVlll I1lG wreck myself, with view of having q large paper weight nade to present to the governor of Maine. This little token which I am now having made to send to Gov Rollins is hurried af- fair. l am going to give him a better one. Here is a picture of it which [ have designed. You see, the base is to represent a rough rock, typical of sailor. On the top you see a sailors hat, with the band U. s. s. Resolute upon it, while upon the top of the hat you see a pair of handcuffs, the con- meeting link of which has been cut in two by quill pen"
 The whole affair will weigh nearly pound and a half and engraved upon a little tablet on the face of the rock will be the words, Gov. Rollins freed a sailor of the hesolute"
 On the bottom of the weight will be engraved: Presented to Gov. r. W. Rollias in remembrance of the kind- ness shown Edward MeGarry of the U. S. s. Resolute."

FRANCE IS WELL PREPARED
SHE WILL MEET QUANTITY WITH
QUALITY.
Military Vote of $175,OOO,OOO Approved
by the Chamber of Alphabetically
for Germany.

PARIS, March Sin the Chamber of
deputies today the debate on the
army budget led to the usual refer
ences to the necessity for prepared
ness against Germany to comparisons
of the two armies.
The members of the House. while
complaining of the budget, which ag-
gregated S75.O00,000 francs. admitted
the impossibility of retrenching in the
face of the necessity of meeting Ger
man increases by corresponding adj
ditions.
The Minister of War. NJ. de Freyci-
net, admitted that the French effec-
tive force was inferior to the German,
but he pointed out that it was impos-
sible to remedy this, owing to the
lack of population.
The Minister also expressed the be-
lief that mere numbers above GER
tain point did not add to the effective
ness of the army, as the excess beyond
that point could only act as reserves
and he was convinced that the fate OF
a conflict would be decided before the
reserves could be employed. 1t is not
necessary. therefore, the Minister
said, to be alarmed about neighbor-
ing increases France must meet
quantity by quality. The rifles and
guns of the French army were without
their equals, and the country, there
fore. might await the future with con-
fidence.
