The outstanding per cent currency
option bonds of the United States have
recently been quoted at 1913. The 2
per cent thirty-year gold bonds, which
will be issued under the new currency
bill, it is expected will sell at los.
These high prices are complimentary
to the stability of the financial system
of the country, which has brought an
increase of 80 per cent in our money
in circulation in less than four years.

fraction above what gas costs. The vestry
clerk of Shoreditch says: "As our con-
sumers multiply our rate, for light is les
SEEMING, and if we had half of London to
illuminate instead Of the parish of Shore
ditch we could afford to come fairly near
to giving light away" ~s... f..'.
The Instructor does It's lighting work at
night, but it is not idle by day. It sup
plies bathhouse with two great SWIM
ming baths and four sets of private baths
with hot water, heats the building and
runs a washhouSe, including a laundry
with fifty separate washing and drying
compartments, mechanical wringers and
large ironing rooms. where the Shore
ditch woman for pence can do her en-
tire weeks washing. 1t also heats the
new library and technical institute. It
has further made it possible to raze many
OF the filthy old tenenents Of the slums
and to put in their places model dwellings
for the needy with rooms at $15O week,
lighted with electricity.
& The benevolent and practical destructor
is not only doing all this but it is doing
it at a profit, and the slums of Shoreditch
are beginning to attract attention not
only in England, but all over the world
where there are dirty cities to be cleaned
and slums to be civilized. The vestry
clerk, Dr. Mansfield Robinson, to whose
energy Shoreditch owes its famous de-
structor. is naturally proud of it's results
In an interview with the Republican
correspondent he says:
'"The thing Is. a success It is paying,
that's the main thing. And our people
are beginning to take an interest in it.;
that's a great thing. We're employing 16O

be Clean and we're giving to them mem
tai advantages as well. Our model
dwellings, our streets and our little shops
are lighted inexpensively by electricity, 4

many murders were committed We're
realizing our first motto: More light,
more power!''

THE CHINESE AMBITION.
Country to Spend When They
GO to China.

A somewhat superf1uous law of this
country shuts out Jchn Chinaman
from citizenship. That is no grief to
John. He doesn't yearn for the en-
tightenment of western civilization
typified by foreign devils who attempt
to restrict his use of opium and even
go so far as TO deny him the right of
gambling. What he wants to do is to
live here on 20 cents a day while maxi
ing two dollars a day, and. as soon as
he gets enough surplus, go back to his
ancestral halls. where he can support
a family in great comfort on something
like 12 cents day. The copyright on
this article, doesn't prohibit persons
with taste for mathematics from
using theseifgures as basis for calcu-
lating how Dong it will be before. un-
der present conditions, America has
permanent Chinese population. OF
course, JOHN sometimes marries here
and settles down. His wife may be
Chinese woman to whom he was be-
trothed years before, when she was 4
baby, and who comes over here in the
steerage apd under chaperonage to full
fill the obligation entered into by her
parents, and TO find herself the GEN.
ter of considerable celebrations, ex-
tending through the streets of the quar-
ter. In the last wedding of this sort
the bridefwas 81 and the bridegroom
81. The betrothal had lasted since her
second year. More often the bride is
one of the debauched girl victims OF
the quarter. and the wedding ceremony
is after the American custom. for which
the Chinaman has little regard. 1t mat
tiers the less in that the wife commonly
dies in year or two. rarely leaving
any offspring. Opium does it. To the
Mongolian it is one of the blessings of
life. To the Caucasian it is mental,
moral and physical decay; then insan-
ity, then death. There is third class of
marriages not pleasant to contem-
plate-the union of Cinnamon to young
Sunday school teachers. There was
time, and not long ago. when associa-
tions Of this kind resulted in several
marriages. Many more might have fol-
lowed had not several outspoken and
courageous clergymen delivered warn
ings from the pulpit of the folly and
danger of such alliances; whereupon
they were. as matter of course. de-
nounced in round terms from many
other pulpits as enemies to the propaga-
tion of the Christian faith.-Leslie's

RUSSIAN ALTRUISTS.
Queer COmmunistic Colony That
Has Recently Emigrated to
England.

Perhaps the strangest communistic
settlement in the world is colony Of
Russians who have recently emigrated
to the little village of Shepscombe, in
Worcestershire, England. They oc-
cupy farm of about 100 acres, and live
in cottages round about, men and wom-
en- together in complete Tolstoian
equality. Some of them are cultured
men, one being doctor of philosophy.
The doctor of philosophy purchased the
farm, but as the possession of land or
anyS other material advantage il
opposed to their doctrine that land and
life should be free as air to all, the title
deeds were destroyed. If the colony
.hould ever leave it is supposed the land
will belong to anybody who likes to
seize it. The men, for the Host part,
simply wear shirt, open at the neck,
and knickerbockers or linen trousers,
with sandals on their feet. The women
are dressed in. very short pinafore
dresses, open at the neck, and sun bon
nets: but "rational'' dress is adopted
by them on more ceremonial occasions.
One or two have short hair, one wears
her hair curled and coiled in the pres
ent fashion. and two wear their hair In
a pigtail, and. clothed in butchers blue
pi;.afores. icok very like Chinese WON
e9. They have no laws, no -ules; they
d:sapprovc CT a. ;aw; each one is to he
law to himself, and they trust that
their principle of good will to meu will
keep them right. In accordance with
these views they reject all marriage
ceremonies. Their resources in the
form of hard coin are, it is said, nearly
exhausted; but SO far from causing
anxiety. this merely fires their enthusi-
asE for altruism and equality. The
essence of their communism is to let to.

He Was Mistaken.

The young man was telling the
young lady that lie believed there
must be some sort of affinity between
them. And he went on to say that
the other day when he was walking
up the street he felt that she was
coming up on that next car, nay. he
knew she was in that car. Sure
enough, when the car rolled by there
she sat, and not only that. but she
turned and saw him walking. A few
days afterwards the young man was
forced to make a confession to the
young lady. He had told her about
feeling" that she was coming up in
another car on another day. He knew
that she was coming, and as the rum
bling and roaring of the car grew
nearer he was more and more curious
to see if his premonition was correct.
WELL" said he, that came right
along and was as sure as could be
that the next instant I would turn
around and see you."
.And them" she asked.
"And then" he went on, shat rum
bling and roaring and humping came
by and-no. you weren't there. Il

A B0ER C0URTsHIp.
The Manner In which = Young Man
OF the Transvaal Chooses
His Lady Love.

A traveller recently returned from the
Transvaal tells the following amusing
story of Boer eourtship:
EARLY one evening young man On
horseback dashed mp to the door Of his
sweetheart's home. He wore new suit
of clothes, and a long ostrich plume
which would have been the envy of
an American girl decorated his Eat.
Before alighting he pranced and ca
pered up and down and put his horse
through all the fine tricks he had
taught him..
Having consigned his horse to one
of the Hottentots, he walked up and
down before the window of the house.
knowing that no action would be lost
upon his lady love, who was sure to be
peering through the blinds. After a
time he strutted into the house and
shook hands with 'Tanta,' the mother.
with 'Oom,' the father. with the broth
ers and sisters. and, last of all, with
the girl ne had come to court. His
greeting to each. fGuten dag was the
same. The father pointed to a seat and
said 'Sitze.' Everyone appeared un-
comfortable except the suitor, upon
whose features rested look OF proud
self-assurance.
Queries regarding the cattle, the
crops and the health of various mem
bers of each family were interspersed
by brief replies and sippings of coffee,
which had been brought i'm soon after
the arrivalof the guest.
Suddenly the suitor arose and hand
ed the 'lachergoot' (confections) to
the one of his choice. She received il
with a bashful laugh and rosy blush.
That settled the question, for with the
sweet she accepted the giver. After
that the talk flowed more volubly. and
loud outbursts of laughter shook the
rafters until one by one every member
Of the family left the room except the
lovers. But with the wise forethough,
of Boer mother. the 'tante' made a
mark upon the candle. explaining to the
young man that his visit might last I'M
til the candle burned to that point.
This, in the land of the Beers, is COM
mand that is not disregarded by the
most lovelorn swain.
''The furniture of the house was of
uncarved yellow wood. The chairs
were upholstered with leather, and the
floors were covered with goat skin
rugs."-N. Y. Tribune.

In nine cases out Of ten a defective
looking figure is not 30 in reality, but
is simply the result Of continuously
wearing badly-fitting bodices and not
giving sufficient attention to the cut
Of the underwear and the shape Of the
corsets. This season all bodiceS and
coats are tight-fitting, added to which
skirts are still made to cling closely
round the hips; therefore the under
garments must be made with as few
seams r creases as possible, as they
show through the material Of which the
skirt is made and make the handsomest
gown look unsightly. For this reason
all the newest petticoats are gored right
up to the waist without shaped band.
