The use of these tokens or trading
checks has become SO general in some
parts Of the state as to almost do away
with the circulation Of coins Of any
other description. They are issued by
country merchants, in some cases in
great quantities. Captain Lawrence,
the special treasury agent in st. Paul,
says he has carefully investigated the
matter and believes that the use of
them should be done away with.
The principal use Of the checks is by
general stores in the country. A farmer
brings in his produce to sell and is paid
for it in these checks. The checks are
good for trade only at the store issuing
them. But from the fact that the stores
refuse to pay for produce in any
other currency, they con come to be
accepted by all other stores, as the
farmers selling produce have no other
coin to spend. In this way their circu.
lation becomes general in certain local.
tiles. Cases have even been found
where people insisted on buying postage
stamps and money orders at postoficea
with them, and were much offended
when the postmaster refused to accept
them.

FED TO ANIMALS.

In the corn districts of the United States the English sparroWs have abandoned insects for gram
 Though horses train best on hay and oats in many stables they are now be- ing fed hay, bran, vegetables and corn. mixed, steamed and then served after this cooking. Dogs have been induced to feed on vegetables in order that they may be milder tempered and the dog biscuits fed them have taken the place of table scraps
 Animals that live on one single food are growing more scarce among the highly organized creatures. There is evidence that the swan once fed on aquatic grasses. Once when ice de- stroyed the grass growing at the bot tom of the lagoon at Abbotsbury the half-wild swans starved in hundreds because they would touch no other food. Nowadays they eat grain and bread.
 Instances of carnivorous animals turning to vegetable diet are rare. One noted instance is a Scotch deer hound, which is so fond of peaches that it will stand on it's hind legs to reach them on the trees. In New hea- land parrot took to sheep killing and eating, and some pigs evinced a prefer ence for a diet of young lamb, while some Australian sheep became not only carniyorous but canuihal.

 Personal Cleanliness.
 The aristoeratic Philippine matFon and her daughters indulge in no greater bodily exercise, If they can help it, than that required for driving or shopping. But the peasant woman shares her husbands work, whatever it may be, laboring at the blow behind an ungaiuly carabao (water-buffalo in the paddy-feld, or helping to pole a huge lorcha, or cocoanut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And take pleas are in saying that, whatever its pro- prtetor's rank or station, the native Philippine nipa hut is invariably marvel of neatness and cleanliness as 10 its interior. far superior in this re- spect to the average dwelling house. be 1t that of a merchants clerk or that of the governor general. So far as the latter are concerned a decent servant, girl, such as are employed in America and England, would not be content to remain in one two days. Hundreds of girls are employed in the great cigar factories and others in the convents labor to weave the far-famed pima lace of the Philippines, several at time squatting on the floor around a single frame, picking and manipulating with deft fingers the infnitesimally delicate hbers. Sometimes they work for months to complete a single mantilla or handkerchief. These native women are rarely employed by the European residents as domestic servants, except in the capacity of ladys maid or cnn- dren's nurse, and even these posit.ons are often occupied by boys. They ara very unreliable, and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character istic of the entire Philippine race, rem ders it an almost hopeless and very ex- asperating task to attempt to train them as servants. Their only redeem ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness, but in spite of this many European women prefer to go to the expense and trouble of inn porting a Chinese anna from Hong Kong or Canton rather than to intrust her children to the care of native girl; although when in her own ca pacity as mother, the Filipina. so far as observation goes, leaves nothing to be deslred.-Womans Home Compan- ion.

VIII Require a Large Amount to Com
 plete Present Enterprises.
 A great deal Of interest Is aroused in both political and financial circles by the appeal for assistance nov being made by Rdssia in the London money market. For many years to come Rus sia will require large financial re- sources to carry out her vast plans for railway development in China. Persia and Siberia. Unless London comes to the help of M. de Witte, the Russian minister of finance, the building of these railways, which bulk so largely in the searemonger's eyes, is likely to be postponed for all indefinite period. 1t seems odd that Russia should come to London to borrow money for the advancement of schemes which are openly designed to thwart the political and commercial interests of England and the United States in the far East. It is unusual, to say the least of 1t. to Invite prospective victims to subscribe for the expense of their own interment. The only ground on which the appli- cation is to be justified is the cosmo- politan character of modern finance, which knows neither country nor pa. trlotism. Every shilling subscribed in England or America for the building of Russia's strategic lines in Asia will be used against them. The spirit in which that portion of the Russian govern. ment which is hostile to Anglo-saxon development administers the affairs of the interior is shown in the arrest and exile of thousands of students, and In the closing of nearly all the principal universities and colleges in Russia.

4 saiIor,s GratItndn

Edward McGarry, the sailor of the Resolute who was pardoned from Portsmouth jail by Gov. Rollins, where he was serving a six months sentence for disorderly conduct, has gone home to Norfolk, Va, says the Manchester IN. H. Union Before leaving be made frogl a piece of the aft rail of the United States steamship Maine & 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 we'll as a sailor and has drawn a sketch of an- other paper weight which he is to have made. When speaking Of it he said: T wanted to show my appreeia- 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 Fla yana harbor. I took it from the wreck myself, with a view of having large paper weight made to present to the governor Of Maine. This little token which I am now having made to send to Gov. Rollins is a hurried af- fair. l am going to give him a better one. Here is a picture of it which I 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. g. s. Resolute upon it, while upon the top of the hat you zee a pair of handcuffs, the con- meeting link of which has been cut in two by a quill pen.
 The whole affair will weigh nearly a pound and half and engraved upon a little tablet on the face of the rock will be the words, Gov Rollins freed a sailor of the Resolute"
 On the bottom of the weight will be engraved: Presented to Gov. F. W. Rollias in remembrance of the kind- ness shown Edward McGarry of the U. s. s. Resolute."
