A FORGOTTEN HEROINE.
CARRIED as q Man She Unwittingly
Wen Many feminine Hearts.

Worthily worn, the gaudy trap
pings Of war have ever won femin-
inc hearts. In recording the great
services to our country of an almost
forgotten Revolutionary heroine, a
writer has brought to light some
remarkable romances. The hero
inc, tall, cultured, high-born, joined
the Continental army in the uni
form of man and served three
years with conspicuous bravery.
Her heroisn brought her prefer
ment and into contact with the best
people Of the Colonies, and at all
the balls and other social gather
ings she was the lion (or 1ioness).
The girls adored the brave soldier,
confessed their love, and showered
her with presents. "The Girl Who
Fought in the Revolution" will be
a feature Of the July Ladies Home
Journal. It is a record of facts far
stranger than fiction. ~

when the revenue act of 1894 was
enacted, and did he not as men,
Der of the same committee speak
and vote against the "Dingley enor-
nifty" which raised the duty on the
sugar trusts raw materials? Yet
Senator Jones wanted to smite that
gigantic monopoly with another
stunning blow this year, and he
therefore opposed the bill imposing
duty of IS per cent on the Ding
ley rates of duty on sugar imported
from Porto Rico and admit Rthe
same free of duty. In his zeal he
even went further, and proposed to
make the sugar trust a present of
$637,551 out of the National Treas
ury, instead Of using it for the bene-
fit Of Porto Rico and its destitute
and suffering inhabitants.
On March IS, 1900, the bill to
appropriate and expend for the ben
eft of Porto Rico all duties collect
ed on imports from that island since
April II, 1899, amounting to more
than 81, 900, was pending in
the Senate, and Mr.. Jones offered:
an amendment to return the duties
"to the persons from whom they
were collected" If Mr.. Jones'
proposition had been adopted and
his desire realized, the sugar trust
would have received handsome
present, amounting to $637,551,
from the treasury of the United
States, as shown by the above state
ment by Secretary Gage of the
amount of duty which they have
paid. ,..
Whether the chairman of the
Democratic National Committee
meant this as recompense for past
or as bid for future campaign IA
vors, or simply as deserved testi-
monia1, would matter less were it
not for the accusations of corrupt
motives so freely brought by him
and his party associates, both In the
Senate and House, against the
trainers and advocates of the Porto
Rican tariff.

BANKS IN GOVERNMENTS REFUND.
ING OPERATIONS.

1t was we'll understood, by those
familiar with financial operations,
that the offer of the Government to
exchange the old bonds for the new
2-per-cents would not be especially
attractive to the great body of pri-
vate investors, and would not be
accepted by them at once. The
most attractive feature of the offer,
from the point of view of the pri-
vate investor, was that he obtained
q safe investment for thirty years
instead of one maturing within q
few years, The proposition was
made attractive to the national
banks, however, by the grant of
certain privileges connected with
their circulation The notes of ma
tional banks are now issued upon
the security of United States bonds,

Yesterday a German-born gen.
tleman was talking about the eclipse
of the sun, and he told a story of
his childhood away back in the SOS
when, in the regular order of the
celestial bodies, an eclipse of the
sun was to come ON a certain day.
He said the day previous process
sion of priests sprinkled every
house with holy water, spr:nkled
every cow, every horse; sprinkled
the fountain that supplied
the village with water as a
charm against the poison
that would be thrown down upon
the earth because of the eclipse of
the sun. He was asked how the
public schools were and he said
they were fine, as good schools as
there were in any country; the STU
dents were taught up through the
common schools to the eighth grade
and then entered the Latin school.
1t was evidently more than an av-
erage community, but those super
stitions were on the people; they
could not shake them off, and the
result was it came very nearly max
ing an in6del of this man. There
is great deal in the thought, and
one is naturally led to that descrip-
ton Of what religion is described to
be in the New Testament; which
consists mostly in love for the Faith
er, love for his children and charity
for his poor. and the impression
steals upon person that if a creed
of that kind was started in the
world it would have more followers
and there would mot be any chance
for priestly superstition to break
down the courage of men, and
make them do foolish things in an.
ticipation of something which has
been repeated over and over again,
ever since the earth began to roll
in space, to circle the sun, and
since the moon, or some other plan
ct for q little time in its regular
flight interposed between the earth
and the sun.-Salt Lake Trf5a.ne

which have to be intrusted to the
Treasurer of the United States as
trustee The old law permitted
bank notes to be iss ued only to the
amount of 90 per cent. Of the face
value of the bonds pledged. The
The new law permits the issue of
circulation TO the full face-value of
the bonds. The difference between
90 per cent and 100 per cent does
not measure, however, all the ad-
vantages of the new bonds as the
basis of circulation. When a pre-
MUM had to be paid, amounting
say to "a for the 4-per-cent bonds,
the man who desired 800, 900 in
bonds had to invest not simply
SOC, 900, but $4,000. He then
obtained in bank-notes, not 90 per
cent of $I34, 600, but 90 per cent of
100000. Thus there was differ
ence of So, 900 between the amount
which he invested and the amount
in notes which he received back for
use in making loans With the q
percent bonds at par, he would
have obtained $685. 600 in notes for
an investment of $1oo, 900, even
under the old law. With circula
ton raised to par, he receives prac-
tically $Ioo, 900 in notes for an in
vestment of 800, 900. There are
some deductions for the redemption
fund and expenses, which need not
be set forth fully, as they are sub
stantially the same under the old
and new conditions. 49,.
: A weighty inducement for the
banks to exchange their bonds was
cast into the scale by another pro-
vision of the new law. This was
the reduction of the tax on circula-
ton, from one per cent year when
circulation was based upon the old
bonds, to one-half of this amount
when it was based upon the new
bonds. There is little doubt that
this discrimination has had a de-
cisive influence in leading the banks
to exchange their old bonds for
new. It has nearly the same effect
as if a 2H-per-cent bond had been
issued without any change in the
tax on circulation. The result of
these various provisions is to afford
a banking profit" Of little more
than I per cent upon circulation.
This means that if 500, 900 loaned
directly would pay S per cent, the
same amount invested in bonds,
and with the bonds used as the ba-
sis of circulating notes which could
be loaned, would pay per cent
more, or 6 per cent.-From "The
Refunding Law in Operation" by
Charles A. Conant, in the Ameri-
can Monthly Reuiew Of Reviews for
June.

Truth which Is Worth the Attention Of

Truth which Is Worth the Attention OF
American Parents.
John Ruskin, at rs, had as keen a
n of taste as most men have at 20,
and greatly enjoyed new favors, says
the Youths Companion. My palate"
he once said, SERVES me now so we'll,
because when 1 was a child l was Civ
en- only the plainest food. When l
was a boy, too, 1 had but one or two
toys and no amusements. Hence the
keen delight which l take now in ev-
cry little pleasure" M. Renan ex-
planned to a friend his habitual cheer

young" he said, my life was simple
and bare. l had few amusements l
Kept all my illusions; hence little
things, which B INDUCED child in a
now give med old man-real hap
piness." Here rs the hint of a truth
worth the attention Of American par
ents. If they have wealth, or even a
moderate income, their fond EFFORT US
ually is to give to their boys and girls
all the pleasures in miniature which
belong to middle age. Children are
early made familiar with the idea Of
fashionable clothes and jewelry. They
have their formal luncheons and din
ner parties, and even balls, in which
there are the state and ceremony, and
sometimes the dishes, which are to be
found in the emf srtainments Of adults.
They are overloaded with costly toys,
for which they care little. The dis
appointed father and mother wonder
why the child is bored by new pleas
ures. They do not see that they are
robbing him in youth of the relish and
keen sense of enjoyment which was
meant to give zest and happiness to
his whole life. Still more cruel kind
ness is that of parents of moderate
means, who accustom their children to
a life of luxury, living to the full limit
Of their incomes, and when they die
leave them unprepared to struggle with
the world.

She Is Not Clever.

A woman who entertains a great deal
tells a writer in Harper's Bazaar hat
she is heart, brain, nerve and soul
weary of clever people, and she longs
to know somebody who neither writes,
sings, r%ecites, toots, fiddles, nor even
has ideas. She even proposes a toast
to the stupid people who do nOt in
trude, and those who, while not stupid,
often pretend they are, for the sake
of the quiet and peace they know you
will appreciate. Cleverness runs in
families nowadays. Even the house
hold baby is hauled out at deadly night
hours to do his little turn, and the
grandmother of the family is clever.
All, a rare and satisfying person to
meet is the family woman who is not
clever, who makes no p~retensions to
c%leverness, who has not prepared a
paper on any of the burning questions
of the hour.

M. Foa, the French explorer, says
African wolves, which hunt in packs,
and do not scruple to attack even the
lion. There are terrible battles in
which the lion succumbs to numbers,
and dies fighting. In connection with
the lions fear of wolves, M. Foa tells
a story from his own experience. 1t
was a very dark night, so black that
trees could not be distinguished until
the travellers were close upon them.
Lions prOwled about the party, one Of
them roaring from a point so close
as to have an afarining ghectU on The
nerves. The animals could not be
seen, but they could be heard on all
sides. Reaching a tree, the men found
one of their comrades with rifle cooked
peering into the darkness, trying to
discover the whereabouts of the ami
mails, that could be plainly heard walk
ing among the leaves. A second man
was trying to relight a half-extin-
guished torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming and going in the
darkness. At this point the ma
tive servant whispered the advice
to initiate the cry of wolves in
the distance. The party at once be-
gan barking and shouting, "Hu! hui!
hui" in an undertone. as If the pack
were still at a distance, while the man
at the camp made the same well-imi-
tated cry. The effect was instantane-
GUS. There was the sound Of a rapid
stampede across the dry leaves. The
lions decamped in a panic, driven on
by the supposed approach of a pack
of wolves. For the rest of the night
the party was undisturbed.

"I, told you the other day about the
Sultan of Zanzibar's clock" said Rob
ert Crawford. but there was another
thing l heard Of while In that country
which is not without interest. TIE
Sultan used to take me round to show
me the place and Of what its trade o n
sisted. It is the greatest Glove raising
country in the world, and as such on-
veys comfort and courage to out be-
tween the acts theater goers the world
over. other spices and |cocoanut rope
are also important features Of their ex-
port trade. But in addition to the
sale Of that which they raise within
their own borders their revenues are
largely increased by the trade in ivory.
Zanzibar is the greatest market for
South African ivory, which is brought
there in large quantities from the in
terror. This ivory is placed in large
warehouses, from which Il is either
sold at once or else held therein for a
better market. The man in charge
of these warehouses was a very in
teresting character-an expert in
ivory. He told me many curious things
about It, and among others propOunded
the following theory as an explanation
Of why elephants go mad and occa-
siOnally run amuck: In the warehouse
we're a pair of magnificent tusks, meas
uring IA feet from tip to tip, which in
life must have been carried by a YER
table Goliath among elephants. The
expert in showing me these tusks
pointed out the fact that while one Of
the tusks was complete and lawless,
the other was broken off at the point
and showed deep scratches and abra-
sions throughout it's length. Now,
said he, If you will look near the base
you will find a hole made by decay
that had struck into the nerves and
given that elephant a toothache, and
think what a toothache of toothaches
a fourteen-foot tooth must have held.
In his efforts to relieve this pain the
elephant rubbed his tusk against rocks
and trees and drove it into the earth,
which mutilated it in the manner you
see here. l lave frequently come across
places Where an elephant a rlppeu
up great spaces in a forest and torn
down trees, and l am positive that
%toothache was the of this frenzy.
An elephant in a circus going suddenly
mad and killing his keeper is not an
uncommon thing, but I'll wager that
in nine cases out of ten If they would
properly investigate the matter they
would find that the brute's sudden
frenzy sprung from so ordinary a
cause as common, everyday tooth
