Men BE Placed Thereon.
To the Editor OF The Post.
Houston. Texas, August ia commu-
uication In The Post OF this date offers a
very sensible and timely suggestion as TO
the necessity and propriety OF the names Of
every member OF Dowling's command al
pearing upon the proposed Bowling monu-
ment the Houston camp has In contempia-
ton.
In conversation with many mebers OF the
camp and some of the committee 1t has
been ascertained that no other thought
was ever entertained than that upon the
pedestal OF the monument should appear
the names of the forty-two Irishmen ell
gagged in that wonderfully successful
battle.
This is a heavy understanding for tine
oamp. as a monument OF any beauty will
eost from sl200 to $500. II might be a
good idea for the different Irish leagues
and other organizations composed OF irish-
men in our city to come to the assistance
OF the camp In honoring the fallen heroes

history for Texas Were he Scotchman.

STOPPING THE RUN.
Ingenious Way Of Saving the Credit OF
Spanish Banks.

Spanish Banks.
A man who recently left Lisbon tella
an interesting story Of the manner IN
which the Bank of Spain checked the
run upon that institution several weeks
ago. The circulating medium of Spain
consists of the notes Of that bank anu
the silver which is held to redeem them
to rs per cent, believe, OF their par
value. AS the public were losing con-
fdence In the financial stability OF the
government, crowds of people took
their paper notes to the bank for re-
demption. Under ordinary circum.
stances, they will exchange silver for
paper note without any delay, but when
the run commenced the managers
found it necessary to adopt some meas
ures to restore confidence and to save
the specie in their own vaults. It would
not do, Of course, for them to show the
white feather or refuse to redeem their
own notes, so they adopted an ingeni-
GUS plan which ultimately tired out the
people and stopped the demand for
coin. Thousands of people surrounded
the bank-many of them were IN bad
temper-ard stood in lines several
blocks long awaiting their turn at the
cashiers counter. When one OF them
finally reached him and laid down the
note he wished to exchange for silver
coin, he was held for five or ten min
utes and subjected to a cross-examina.
tion such as might have been given
him by census enumerator. In the
meantime, clerk wrote his answers
down upon a blank form-his age, oc-
cupation, residence, birthplace, the
names Of his parents, etc. Then he
was required to sign a formal applica-
ton for the exchange Of twenty pesetas,
for example, in paper, for their equiva-
lent in silver. Then he was sent away
and told to return in three days.
On the third day the man would re-
turn and, after standing In line again
all day and all night, perhaps, would
reach the cashiers counter. He would
be required to bring somebody to iden-
tify him and to certify that he was the
person described in the paper present
ed. This took couple Of days more,
perhaps, and finally he was given
certificate or draft upon another cash
Ter, who, he was told, would pay him
the money. This made 1t necessary for
him to stand in another line for day
or two, and when he finally reached
the proper place he would be required
to sign a receipt and make an oath OF
allegiance to the government and an
Endorsement of the financial soundness
Of the bank. Thus by this circum-
locution arrangement a man had to
waste seven or eight days to get pa
per dollar changed into silver, and the
transaction was so tedious and compli-
Gated that each consumed fifteen or
twenty minutes. AS there was only
one cashier not more than forty or fifty
persons at the utmost could be served
in a day, and the clamor finally sub.
sided from exhaustion.

EEE Plants Hard to Grow.

OF all the vegetables which come
into the summer market the most diff
cult to raise is the egg plant, and for
this reason few truckers care to take
the trouble with theN. Few people In
the city really know how an egg plant
grows. The general impression Is that
it grows egg upward on a stock like the
cauliflower and there are some who be-
lieve 1t grows in the ground like tur-
nip. In fact. 1t grows on bush with
g large leaf, and is never so large as
a tomato-vine. The plants must be
raised in a hotbed and set out In May
and require more than ordinary care.
A slight rain will sometimes cause all
the eggs to rot and occasionally they
rot without any rain. One egg in half
a dozen fit for the market Is o good

A Stone That Grows.

A West Gouldsboco (Me.) man tells
a queer story about stone that grows.
1t is an egg-shaped, flinty looking rock,
which he picked up in cove near his
home over thirty years ago. Then 1t
weighed about twelve pounds, and from
its odd shape was kept in the house and
on the doorstep as a curiosity. AS the
years passed the stone increased in
size. Six years ago it weighed forty
pounds. The owner swears it Is the
same stone, and tells a likely story,
with numerous witnesses to back him

An AccommoA Master.

During the great strike few years
ago among the employees of the North
British railway much difficulty was
experienced in finding qualified engine
drivers. Upon one occasion young
fellow was put upon a section in Fife.
One day he ran some distance past
a station, and upon putting back he
went as far the other way. The sta
tion master, seeing him preparing for
another attempt, to the great amuse-
ment Of the passengers on the plat
form, shouted:
"Just bide whaur ye are, TummaS.

ManitOban Cure for Drunkenness.
"They have very effective way OF
putting the brakes on inebriates up In
Manitoba" said Mr.. o. A. Bemis Of
Minnesota at the Ebbitt.
when a man has been convicted
twice or thrice for drunkenness In the
local police courts, he is sentenced to
wear a brass collar, which is plain
tip to saloon-keepers that he is a per-
son to whom it is forbidden to sell
any intoxicating beverages. No man
with this badge Of disgrace can get a
drink anywhere, for the law is strict
ly respected. The result Is that IN
many cases an entire cure is effected
in the Individual. Whenever the au-
thorities think that the collar penalty
has been endured long enough the col
lar comes off and the citizen Is at lib
erty to get a drink"

BEAUTiFUCDEADLY ORCHIDS
A Forest Of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.

A Forest Of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.
M. Serge Belaguine, a Russian ex-
plorer of Brazil. states In an interview
recently published In The Gaulois that
a few degrees below the equator he dis
covered q forest Of flowers that pre-
vented him from approaching them.
With every Difference to Mr.. Belaguine,
that forest seems to have been discov-
cred before, says Golfers Weekly. Two
years ago there appeared In a San
Francisco paper an account provided
by a bulb hunter returning from the
same region, who declared that after
noticing in forest an odor, vague and
sweet at first, but which increased as
he advanced, ultimately he reached a
clearing, and there, straight ahead.
was a wilderness of orchids. Trees
were loaded with them, underbrush
was covered with them, they trailed on
the ground, mounted in beckoning con-
tortions, dangled from branches, fell in
sheets, and elongated and expanded as
far as the eye could reach. A breeze
passed and they swayed with it, NOV
ing with life of their own, dancing In
the glare of the equatorial sun, and as
they danced exhaling an odor that pro-
tected them more sheerly than wall.
In vain did that hunter endeavor to ap-
proach. There was veil Of perfumed
chloroform through which he could see.
but through which, try as he might, he
could not pass. 1t held him back more
effectually than bayonets, and 1t was
torture to him to see those flowers and
to feel that before he could reach them
he must die, suffocated by the very
splendors Of which he was in search,
poisoned by floral jewels such as no
one perhaps had seen before. At the
time the place was known as the vii
lage OF demon flowers.
