HONEST MONEY.

During our war Of the rebellion thers
were three kinds of money which stood
the shock Of arms to the end None of
within the first six months. The rev.
olutionary government Of the South Is
sued the best paper possible for such a
government
1t was precisely as good as the issu-
ing power-no better, no worse. 1t was
brave money-far better than cow
ardly coin. 1t stayed with the armies,
and fought with them to the bitter end.
and went down with them on the field
of battle.
That paper money OF the South was
rudely executed and easily counterfeit
ed. This, Of course, made it practically
impossible to limit the volume in cir
culation; and, as already stated, an un-
limited money is worthless money.
Money is valuable in proportion to lin
itation.
IL 1t Is possible, the counterfeiters
will initiate the money to the point OF
worthlessness, as in the case of our
continental currency and the French
assignats. In the North there were two
sorts of paper money. The first sixty
millions were receivable in the rev.
enues of the government the same as
coin, and legal tender for private debts.
That money was preferred to coin
during the war, and as long as it cir
culated. Another class OF paper money
issued during the war, known as green
backs, was not receivable for duties
on imports nor for interest on the pub
lie debt. 1t was like any other useful
machine with a number of important
bolts left out.
1t went below par as compared with
coin, or as compared with paper withS
out these legal disabilities. 1t some
times went below SO cents on the dol
lar, because of its legal disabilities, and
from no other cause. Yet, such as 1t
was, all the shylocks and the armies
of the South were beaten by 1t at one
and the same time.
All agree that the greenback saved
the life of the nation. With gold only,
the armies would have been paralyzed,
and anarchy would have prevailed. 1t
would have been a contest Of swords,
after the manner of savages, with lit
tie union or adhesion on either side.
Money is the instrument Of association.
Without money there is no cohesion,
and disintegration must ensue. A per-
feet money will remain at its post in
times of danger. Intrinsic money will
not do this.

A Brooklyn man received last week
letter from a friend In Seoul, the cap
ital of corea. describing a visit the
writer had recently paid 10 the large
island of Quelpaerf. just south OF Cor
ca and part OF that country. Ii appears
that one of the main lines of business
is diving for the pearl oyster and that
the diving operations are wholly mon
opolized by women. Here is an extract
from the letter:
II think the most unique sight / ever
saw was the women divers at Quel-
paert. Perhaps you may have heard
that only women divers are engaged in
the pearl oyster fisheries there. Every
day 1 was there / saw lot of them
going out u their work or returning
with the fruits Of their quest under the
sea. They are not a very handsome
crowd, but they have fine. supple fig
ures, and can swim as well as any fish
OF the deep. Each wears a very scanty
bathing dress that looks as though il
might be made OF gunny sack. Tied TO
a string around their waists is a gourC.
with a stopper in the neck OF il TO keep
W - a
little bag. The third and last article
OF the equipment Is a sickle, which is
also fastened TO the waist and rests on
the back till the women get out to the
fishing grounds.
You might think that boats would
be kept 10 carry these women out To
their toll. but no, they work thcl pas.
sage and IL is a lesson in the art OF
swimming TO see them. They wade out
a few yards and then breast the waves,
moving seaward with long, quick
strokes, and cutting the water like a
racing shell. They swim out about
half mile. My fayorite amusement
was watching as much as l could see
OF their subsequent operations through
a glass. They would take off the gourd
and little bag and leave them floating
around on the surface. Then, sickle in
hand down they would go. head first.
and | was told that they had TO sink
forty or fifty feet TO the bottom.
About the time / made up my mind
they would never be seen again alive.
up they would come. some times right
near where the gourd was floating and
some times several rods away. They
would put their oyster or two or three
Of them in the little bag. take a few
long breaths. and down they would go
again, repeating the process until the
bag was filled. IL is said they will stay
out for hours rather than return be-
fore they have all the oysters that can
be crowded into the bag. Any strang--
er must admire them both for their
splendid endurance and for their swim
ming. It's worth more than all the tank
performances you ever saw.
THE sickles are used to cut away
the seaweed at the bottom so that the
divers may get al the stones and earth
to which the oysters fasten themselves.
4 pearl is very rarely found, but when
"A diver captures the prize she thinks
her fortune is made. The shell is used
as mother Of pearl and the oysters are
eaten i'm large quantities both on the
isfdIs-. and on the mainland"

RAILS GROUND TO DUST.
Effect Of the Constant Wear and Tear on a
Railroad.

AS consumers of steel the railroads
| in the Vicinity OF Pittsburg lead the
world. During the past three months
10 miles OF new steel rails. averaging
ninety pounds 10 the yard. have been
put down or distributed within thirty
miles OF the centre OF the city.
There are l760 yards i'm a mile. which
would mean 299, 200 yards for one line
of rails in 10 miles, or 20 92s, 900 pounds,
or say 53.S56,0O0 pounds for both lines
OF rails or .2S3 tons of steel rails
needed in one year for Pittsburg roads.
80 per cent. Of which was for renewals
on old lines. says the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
There is somewhat of mystery re-
garding where the steel worn out on
big road goes TO. 1t is ground down al
most to imperceptible dust by the con-
stant friction OF the grinding wheels,
and this friction is 45 per cent. greater
on curves than on straigl1 stretches of
track. The wear is also much greater
on ascending grades on straight track
than on a descending grade. on curves
the wear is mostly lateral or horizon
tol, while on straight track il is per-
pendicular. with a slight inclination to-
ward the inside OF the rail next TO tn
fianges OF the wheels
The millions of tons of steel ground

gained for scrap because it settles

by the rush of air caused by the swift
