Rink Washinr INV

In some banks there is a regular
washday every month, usually at the
beginning, when n clerk may be seen
bent over a tub and rubbing real mon
ey up and down a washboard The
dirty greenbacks that have been saved
up for month are soaped and rub
bed just like handkerchiefs and socks
and are run through wringer before
being put out to dry. The paper cur
rency may be handled somewhat
roughly, as it does not tear because
there is in it a great deal of silk and
linen. After the notes have been
passed through the wringer they are
hung on line stretched in the bank
clerks department. Said one clerk
the other day: Il wash about 100 notes
every month. and when I'm done you
can hardly tell them from new money
The washing strengthens as well as
cleans the notes. s.'-Philadelphia Rec

Humanity In TURKEYS,

There's a good deal of human nature
in turkey" said a farmer. THE 9th
er day while / was settin in the barn
door one of my turkeys come yerkln
along and peekin right and left and
finally spied a rag on the ground that
every turkey had been travelin over for
a week. Turkey picked it up and Slated
it out. That minute every turkey in
the yard started for him. He run. 1t
evidently struck him all of a sudden
that he had got hold of suthin that was
mighty valuable He run, and he
lodged, and he ducked, and he run
some more. Every few minutes some
one of them turkeys would get him by
the wattles or else by the rag. and
there would be tug Of war. And AZ
last another turkey got the rag away,
and then there was another chase.
Guess them darn fool turkeys would
have been runnin the fat of them
selves the next day if 1 hadn't set the
dog on 'em.
That's just the way with a turkey.
Let any other one in the flock get hold
of suthin. and e-ery one of the blamed
fools will start for him or her and run
till they fairly drop.
And. as have said, there is a good
deal of human nature right there

A Dinner of Mule and Axle Grease.


The following is an incident of the
siege of Ladysmith narrated by Sir
William MacCOrmac: IAN officer re-
lated an incident which will serve to
illustrate the lengths to which things
had gone as regards food. A shell fell
into the mule lines one afternoon, kill
ing one mule. In spite of other shells
following the first one in rapid success
sion, so as 10 make occupation Of the
spot very dangerous. the men in the
vicinity made rush at the mule like
so many ravenous creatures, cutting off
the flesh with their clasp knives in
great chunks. They then in safer quar-
ters built fires. toasted the meat and
swallowed it at once. To make them
more palatabie the men fried their bis
cults in the axle grease provided for
the carts. The want of fatty foods
and vegetables was greatly felt. In
spite of all their hardships nobody ever
thought of giving in. The general in
Quired as to how many horses in the
camp could carry their riders six miles,
in view of n sortie being made. and the
answer came back that only 12 horses
in the whole camp could do it."-Lon-

Diamond Cutter. md Their Work.

Not only is diamond cutting not Il
specially highly paid occupation. but it
IS one involving most humiliating
system OF espionage to the worker
Each man has to strictly account for
the stones he receives on going to work
in the morning, and the count has to be
carefully taken when the unfinished
work is handed in at night to be locked
up in a safe against the return of the
workmen the next day. The pOssibili-
ties of theft are great, though a dishon-
est workman knows that an attempt to
dispose of an unfinished stone would
bring suspicion upon him wherever the
attempt was made.

Hurry Call rleans Their Dispatch TO
Mediterranean Waters.

Philadelphia. Pa. June 9-Ir
was stated by a naval officer this
morning that the hurry call for
warships served on Admiral Casey
last Tuesday was not for mobiliz-
alton purposes only.
1t means the organization of a
Mediterranean Sea squadron under
admiral Farquhar, of what is now
denominated as the North Atlantic
squadron. The new battleships
Kearsarge and Kentucky, the New
York and Texas and the Indiana
and Massachusetts are the six war
ships compromising the Mediter-
ranean Sea squadron, and they will
center in Hampton Roads to await
further instructions. We do not
think the maneuver is for exercise
only. 1t goes beyond that. " This
statement was made by an official
at the League Island navy yard
today.
Admiral Crowninshield met Rear
Admiral Casey at League Island
Yesterday and was with him this
morning. An air of mystery sur
rounded their movements. No
visitors were admitted and the ad
mirai left for Washington on the
noon train.
1t is the general impression
among naval men that the move
Z mrnt is not an exercise drill, but
part of direct plan to enforce the
demands of the United States on
Turkey for the payment Of the in
demnity recently demanded.
There will be a naval demon
stration off Constantinople within
the next three weeks, p" said a naval
officer connected with the Hartford
this morning, and that is the real
meaning of the movement"
1t is reported that the six war
yessels-:he New York, as Admiral
Farquhar's flagship, the Texas,
Indiana, Massachusetts,, Kearsage
and Kentucky-will sail from Nor
folk for Gibralter next Tuesday
This is the opinion also at League
Island.

Here Ia Clement SCOTS picture Of an
American dinner party: You are no
sooner ushered into the reception room
than you feel at home in half second.
Conversation is general and animated.
Your hostess is genial, gracious and an
artist in the difficult ceremony Of in
PRODUCTION. The room and the atmos-
phere beam with friendliness- Intro
duced to your dinner companion, she Is
determined that you and your partner
shall be friends at once. AYou have not
to make conversation. She makes it
for you. If yon know anything, she
will drag il cut O. you in double quick
time, and you have some difficulty in
holding your own against her readi-
ness, wit and sly cynicism. She can
discuss everything and knows some
thing about all she discusses, but with
out pedantry or affectatiOn. She has
the art of appearing to like you and be
interested in you whether she is or not.
This may be humbug, but it is delight
full humbug all the same.
1.-The elements of Irritation are never
to be despised by man or woman OF
any age. This social art is generally
ignored in England. and that is why
American women are so supremely
popular. And what is the consequence?
You go home from dinner party in
England tired and bored TO death or
wander off to your club to try to for
get it all. You go home from an Amer
lean dinner party exhilarated, little
proud of yourself and saying sincerely,
Tt has been jolly and delightful even

whenever have been honored with an
invitation in New York."-San Francis

which has attended the careful methods

tn simple question, "I Is this woman a

Fights are 4 recognized part of the
school education among the boys IN
England. In America when boys fight
it is because they are angry with each
other; in England they fight because
they are anxious to find out which is

have no quarrel or i'll feeling, but If
their friends cannot agree us to their
respective prowess the ultimate result
is pretty apt to be a mill. l."-Self Cul-

The Treasurer's
Circulars.
General Protest From Buae
ines Men.
Has Be Acted Within His
Authority

The recent circulars Of Treasurer
Hsllander in reference to consump-
ton taxes have greatly stirred up
the business community, and they
have been severely criticised by
many intelligent and conservative
merchants.
And in eur opiuisR most Of the
criticism directed against these cir
sulars, and their issuance ct this
time, is amply justified.
More especially have attacks bssn
made upon circular no. s, which,
imposing heavy and entirely lnex-
pected burdens, has produced . very
had effect on trade.
We do not know whether it is in.
tented ~ an Order. or, if 80, whether
it can have legal force, coming as it
dOes after the prOmulgation Of the
lAO Of April 18th last, which clothes
the Legislative Assembly with the
power of originating, amending and
repeating laws and orders after it's
date.
Il may be reasonably assumed
that Circular no. 8 comes within the
provisions of that law, the same ~
all regulations Of whatsoever char
acter that have been published or
may be published in failure.
1t il true that circular no. 8 pur-
ports to be an interpretations Of Ge
neral order no. 176, Of last year,
but it il ne less tue that in doing
90 it evidently merely takes that or
der and its paragraphs - . basis,
amplifying some provisions and null
flying others, or, in short, rsdratting
them partially or totally.
Order no. 176 declares clearly and
literally that alcoholic liquors man
ufactured in the country are liable
to the payment Of internal revenue
taxes, that each litre is to pay three
cents [goldl and the stamps repres.
enting the tax are to be affixed by
the manufacturer before said liquors
leave the factory.
Circular No. 8, on the other baud
sets forth that said tax must be paid
on liquors manufactured in the coun-
try, .'or imported into it''; that Isch
litre or fraction thereof shall pay
three cents gold, and that the stamps
shall be affixed on all stocks Of
bottled goods exposed for sale, and
that in cases Of pnrcharse from whole
sale stocks, the stamps shall be
affixed by the retailer.
A greater disparity cannot exist
than that between Circular Ne. 8
and General Order No. 176. This
disparity involves new legislation,
and to understand it properly it il
essential to know whether the law
Of April -, 1900, cited BY it, j.
strictly followed.
That Law provides that articles
manufactured in the United State,
shall, on importation here, pay, in
