SHE WAS TOO KINDrHEARTED
Michigan Girl Thought to Perform .
Kindness to Gentleman
in Church.

There is one young woman living at
LAnse, Mich, whose benevolent dis.
position received a severe shock on a
recent Sunday evening, says the Chi
eago Chronicle. She was at church
and sat directly behind a tail, well.
dressed stranger, with a raveling
hanging to his collar. Being one OF
those generous-hearted, whole-souled
girls who grow up to be motherly old
ladies, friend to everybody in town
she thought how glad she would be if
some kind-hearted girl would do as
much for her father were he to go tc
church with a raveling hanging down
his back SO when the audience rose for
the first hymn she concluded to pick
it off. Carefully raising her hand, she
gave little twitch, but it was longer
than she supposed, and foot or more
appeared. Setting her teeth, she gave
pull and about a yard of that horri-
Bile thread hung down his back. This
was getting embarrassing, but, deter
mined, she gave it another yank and
discovered that she was unraveling his
undershirt. Her discontinue was so
painful that chloroform would not
have alleviated her sutferings nor a
pint of powder hidden her bushes
when the gentleman turned with an in
quiring look to see what was tickling
his neck

ONE OF WOMAN'S FAILINGS.
Her Reckless Disposal of Pins "a Mat
ter of Great Concern to a
Steamship Line.

Woman's proneness to stick pin
wherever convenient has proved 3
serious matter to one steamship com
pany, says the New York Sun. The
line decided some time ago to place the
most modern air-filled mattresses in
the births of the best rooms on two OF
its biggest ships. Recently the stew.
ards were kept busy at the completion
of each trip with blowing up with air
dozens of mattresses that had col.
lapsed from some unknown cause. II
took the officials of the lines some
hours to discover the cause of the fall
ure of the mattresses to maintain their
proper condition. Hat pins, breast
pins, safety pins, stick pins, every
known kind of pin had done the mis-.
chief.
Zone advantage of these mat.
tresses," said the manufacturer, was
that they were intended as life pre-.

sized hat pin if you want to see one
knock the ambition out of the average
1ife-preserver that depends upon air.
The women tourists simply stabbed
those mattresses to death"
The steamship company now has
this notice attached to the door OF
every stateroom: please do not
stick pins in the berth cushions and
mattresses. Pins are injurious tc

The British army in South Africa has
used up 500, 900 horses and mules which
cost $500 head when landed in the Boei
country. One million dollars in horse
flesh alone is the cost to Great Britain o.
this unholy war. The United States gov
eminent is almost as guilty as England
1t has allowed this sale and export O.
horses and mules to be carried on, which
is violation of the law among nations
and which would not have been suffered
had the British been at war with power
full nation.
Without these horses and mules sup
piled from this country, the British never
could have overrun the Boer country
and their war would have proved fail
ure. The United States is as guilty al
Great Britain of this bloody crime on al
nnoffending, freedom loving people.

Remarkable Tree in Germany.


Naturalists in Germany are much
interested in a wonderful old tree
which has been discovered near HON.
burg. 1t is an oak, and is notable
not only on account of its great bulk
but also for the fact that at the base
of the trunk it is entirely hollow The
trunk, indeed, is not more than eight
or nine feet high, but it is more than
20 feet in circumference. Some idea
of the size of it's interior may be
gathered from the fact that four per-
sons recently found ample room in it,
In winter the old oak looks very bare
and gaunt, but, according to peasants
In the neighborhood, who have known
it for many years, it regularly puts
forth new twigs and foliage every
spring, so that, ancient and decayed
though its trunk may be, it is never
theless crowned and surrounded with
masses of green leaves, just as it was
in the days of it's youth. The people
of Homburg are very proud of this
natural curiosity.-N. Y. Herald.

Saving Money.

Secretary of the Treasury, Gage, in his
annual report says that $3.50, 900, 600 in
round numbers of the 5, a and 5 per cent
20 year bonds. The Secretary claims by
this exchange net saving to the govern
ment in interest was secured of IS, S2S, 900,
and of the total amount of bonds surren-
dered for exchange $244, o46, $50 were
held by the Treasurer of the United States
as security for circulation or public de,
posts in national banks.
Let US figure how much the banks
Saved" by the transaction. There was a
premium on these bonds that were ex-
changed Of II per cent, which was paid
out of the Treasury to the banks before
the exchange was made. : A premium of
IL per cent on $244, 900, 900 amounts to
$2o, $50, 900 which was paid to the banks
to- in part, induce them 10 part with the
bonds, when the exchange was made for
their face value for 2 per cent 80 year
bonds, and to this was added 10 per cent
in national bank notes, aggregating
$24, 4oo,o 900. The two gifts to the banks

tons of SIS, $500 That is what the
banks made by the deal, and the govern
ment Saved" $S,S2S,ooo Nice finan-
ciering Mr.. Gage
In place of paying off the debt it has
been extended 80 years at an interest OF
per cent, which on $244, 900, 900 will
amount TO STAG, 400, 900 in interest and
the whole debt will still be to pay. Great
economy And these are the kind Of
financiers that have been managing the
United States Treasury since the close Of
the civil war.
In addition to the 244 millions which

Redeeming National Bank Notes.-The
National Bank Endless Chain.

Wharton Barker answers the following
questions i'll his american:
"I-Are United States Bank Notes re-
deemable9
"2-lf so, when and with what kind OF
money?
"National Bank notes are redeemable
at all times at the Treasury of the United
States, Washington, when presented in
sums of one thousand dollars or any null
tiple thereof, the national banks provid-
ing the funds for such redemptions. Each
bank is required to deposit with the Treas
urer of the United States, in lawful money
gold, silver, treasury notes, green
backs-a sum equal to five per cent of its
circulation and to replenish such deposits
as part of their lawful reserve. If "a bank
fail to replenish such deposit, after due
notice of its depletion has been given, il
is closed and the bonds deposited as secu.
rity for circulation sold to provide fund
for the redemption of all its circulation
If a sufficient fund is not thus provided
ahe United States has first claim on all
its assets to make good any deficiency.
eff bond deposited as security for cir.
culaiion is held by the Treasurer of the
United States at date of maturity he will
take up that bond, cancel ii. and deposit
lawful money of the United States in its
place to sufficient amount to cover al
circulation outstanding against such bond
That is he will hold on to the money
appropriated to pay that bond, OF at leas
enough of it to redeem the bank note:
issued against it, and out of that money
will redeem and retire them as they
happen to be presented. But the bank
that does not wish to have its circulation
retired will, before the maturity of any
bond deposited as security, substitute {
bond of some other class for it. The
banks are at all times free to make sucl
substitution"
There was no end to the outcry of these
national bankers against the greenbacks
They we're the one dangerous part of oul
currency. If the Treasurer ordered then
to be redeemed in silver the credit of the
government would at once be ruined
Now, if gold is demanded for nationa
bank notes and the Treasurer refuses tc
redeem the paper the government Ell
dorses, in gold, would that not be repudi
ating its obligations, if an offer to redeem
greenbacks with silver meant Reputation
and dishonor? And if the government
redeems national bank currency with
gold does it not renew the old Cleveland
endless chain?
Every person with half an eye may
readily see what juggle and fraud these
treasury hooters have worked on the
people with such confederates in the
Treasury as they have had for these many
years. The endless chain can at any time
be started that Wall street bankers plar
the move, and more bonds sold to gel
gold TO keep it running.
