FAMINE IN SILVER.
Fractional Currency is Threatened by
Heavy Demand.

Owing to the heavy demand for
small change Il famine in silver fraC.
tional currency is threatened. During
the last two weeks $l,500,000 in frac.
tional silver has been withdrawn from
the Treasury, leaving a balance OF a
little more than $3,000000. At the
close Of the last fiscal year there was
$12,000000 worth of this fractional
currency in stock.
Inasmuch as the Withdrawals for a
number OF years up to 1898 amounted
to about 100000 annually, the in
crease in the demand for the currency
is regarded by the Treasury officials
as one Of the most significant signs
Of prosperous times.
The Treasury officials are somewhat
worried over the situation, as there is
additional fractional currency, and it
is feared it will be impossible to honor
requisitions for these coins within
short time.
Under the law of July %, 1876, the
subsidiary currency of the country
was changed to silver and provision
was for the redemption of fractional
paper currency which had been in use
during the war. This law fixed $780,
coo 900 as the limit to which fraction.
al coin could be minted. During the
period OF paper money the stock of
fractional silver coin was exported TO
Central and South American countries,
where it passed at its face value.
The Treasury officials coined up to
the $5O,000,000 limit, and afterward
when specie payments were resumed
this old subsidiary coin began coming
back. Under the resumption act it
was redeemable in gold, and it was
presented for redemption so rapidly
that at one time over $40, 100000 worth
of it accumulated in the Treasury,
With the amount of old subsidiary
coin redeemed under the act Of 1879
the total stock of this form Of cur
rency amounts to about $4,000, 900.
A few years ago half this amount was
held in the Treasury, but to-day there
is but $9,636,$69.

one of the most cherished tenets of

that garglng with a mixture of vine

Now come physicians with their cold
science to say not only thdt the Vine

whole idea Of garglng is ineffective
and ridiculous.
In brief, they say that gargling is Of
