LittI. silver IN lh. E.,t

Silver dollars are not used in the East,
In Washington you never see one unless
you ask for it at bank or the treasury.
OF course great many are brought here
from the West and South, out as soon as
they are paid out they find their way to
the treasury and never get into clrcula-
ton again. Their place is taken by 81
and 81 bills. do not know whether this
condition is due to the preference of the
people for paper money, or whether it is
the result of concerted action on the part
of the banks.
At any rate the absence of silver as a
circulating medium has had certain
effect on the minds of the people in con.
nection with the currency question.
Being unused to silver dollars they can.
not comprehend the desire of the West
for free silver. They do not see the use
of it and never stop to think that each
of the 81 bills they use represents a
silver dollar 10 the treasury. The aver
age citizen sees only what is before him
and never investigates its origin

They Garry boiled water to school

A strikingly original bottle brigade Of
juveniles in attendance upon the Lyons
public school has attracted con
attention during the past few
days. Many of the children there en-
gagged in the archery of young ideas are
sons and daughters of sunny Italy, and
a peramhulating advocate of temperance
was shocked the other day to note in
how large proportion they carried bot
ties with them to school. Accordingly
he stopped one bronzed and chubby
child and anxiously asked: What in
the name of sense have you got in tha,
bottle, child!" Boiled water" proudly
the youngster. "lf you dom.
drink boiled water you'll swallow snakes
our policeman says; an pop says the
police know all about snakes" Sure
enough. little inquiry developed the
fact that most of the Lyons Annex pupils
carried bottles of boiled water to school
and that many of the bottles, at one time
or another. contained beverages popu

EXPLANATION OF "SIRDAR. {"
IHteresdnG Items ConcefniAg the
Egyptian title borne by
Kitchener.

In the food of news which came in
daily over the wire recently about
Fashoda there was constant refer
ence, an iteration and reiteration of one
word which. while persons who read
might surmise it referred probably to a
title, yet had no positive proof of ex-
actly what it meant. That one word
was invariably prefixed to Sir Herbert
kitchener's name-the sirdar. Now,
what meant this word sirdar?
quarter of century ago, OF there
abouts, at the time when Great Britain,
by right of might, and not for any
other reason, occupied Egypt and took
the sultan'S khediye under its tutelate,
one of its first acts was to reorganize
the Egyptian army. British officers
were sent to Egypt and placed at the
head of native troops. These officers
drilled the troops, taught them the
manual of arms and gradually instilled
in them that same esprit de corps and
enthusiasm which makes the British
army itself such a compact and formid-
able body. The native troops We're al
lowed to retain tl cir colors, their flags
and insignia anG all the paraphernalia
of war distinctively the attribute of an
unconquered people. British states
men went further. They even allowed
the same milit.ry titles to remain. 1t
was tactful thing do. Britain lost
nothing thereby, and the Egyptian war
riors retained all that was sentimental
ly sacred to them
Thus, therefore, the very ancient
words, sirdar. bimbashi, jougal, etc,
remained in the army. The sirdar of
the Egyptian army is the general in
chief. The bimbashi is a major. the
jougoul captain. Sirdar. Literally it
means an officer, is as old an expression
almost as the country of the PhGraohs
itself. In Arabic the word means
head man" There need be little
stretch of the Imagination to see how
the term came to be given to the COM
mandant of the Egyptian forces.-Chi-

Burden of the Rich.

No sovereign is so rich as the emperor
Of Russia, and no sovereign has such
heavy calls upon his purse. The Grand
Dukes Vladimir, Alexis, Serge and Pau
Alexandrovitch, as well as the Grand
Duke Michael-Nicholejevitch, as the
sons of emperors of Russia, receive
from the head of the house an annual
sum of $4,000 rubles, which, added
to their private means, makes them
very rich. The wives and widows OF
Russian grand dukes receive 10000 ru.
bles, their sons $780, 900 rubles. 1t was
the late emperor, Alexander Ill, who
made the rule that every member of the
Russian imperial family must spend a
part of the year in Russia or else lose
a third of his or her allowance.-Chi

Hot Mater Wells

water, and apprehension Is felt by

participants in n grand volcanic drama.
In some of the wells the temperature
water of the we'll rose twenty degrees
In a single night. 1t 4 few the phe-
nomenon disappeared soon after its
appearance. In a majority of the
eases, however, the wells fairly steam
from their newly acquired heat. The
first known of this curious state of
affairs was a report that the wells at
Maricopa, on the Southern Pacific rail-
road, thirty miles south of Phoenix, had
suddenly become hot, says the Omaha
Bee.
1t was four days thereafter that the
phenomenon first was noticed a dozen
miles west of that city. A test at n
well showed n temperature of nearly
one hundred degrees. No difference is
noted in wells in the immediate vicin-
ity Of Phoenix.

great was the interest they excited that
in some instances a single meeting was
attended by 1000 or 5000 persons, re-
sulting in the complete desertion of

meeting marked the beginning of a re-

the reaction following the period of

the country in a glorious wave of tri-

were not held under the auspices of
any particular denomination. People
of all churches and all phases of belief
attended them and took an interest in
their management. Baptist, Presby-

conducted the services. Denomina-
tional differences were cast aside. All
churches were merged into one In The

The following true tale, from the
February Lippincott, is a most curious
example of living well on nothing IL
year without breaking the laws of the
land:
About twenty years ago a steam
packet company of Liverpool wished
to buy a piece Of land which was own
ed by n ''stay-at-home spinster," as
her n%eighbors described her. She sold
her land at a very low price, but In
sisted upon Il clause being inserted in
the agreement giving her the right, Mt
any time during her life. to travel with
a companion in any of the company's
vessels.
When the agreement was closed, she
sold her furniture and went on board
the first outgoing ship belonging to the
packet company. For years this shrewd
spinster lived nearly all the time up
on II ship or another, frequently ne
c0mpanied by Il companion. according
to agreement. This was always a per
son who otherwise would have been a
regular passenger, but who purchased
her ticket at Il reduced rate by paying
the spinster instead of the packet com
pany.
The company offered her more than
twice the value of the band if she
would give mp the privilege, but this
she would not do. Her reply was.
