SIAM PROGRESSIVE.
Will After September 21 Use for the First Time I'm It's History
 Paper Currency.

Paper currency will be issued in Siam for the first time on Septem- Der 21. the anniversary of the kings eral King, at Bangkok, the new cur rency will be of great assistance to trade in this, country, as there is great confusion and loss under the prevailing system, At the present time the rupee. is used in the north of Siam and in the south the silver tical and the Mexican dollar. On ac- count of the slow means of communi- cation the trader is often at the mercy of the Chinese money chang CTS, whose charges are sometimes ex- orbitant. Again, the advantages that paper currency will have over the heavy, bulky silver coins will be great.
 It is the intention of the govern ment at first to hold the notes against silver for purchase by any one who wishes to use them. It IS anticipated the banks will be heavy purchasers. The present bank notes are not legal tender, and often will not be accepted among the ignorant, even in the city of Bangkok. The Hong-Kong and Shanghai banking corporation. the largest in the coun- try, has already reached, its limit srof paper issue SIC, ,0oo, ,0oo. After this. fl must deposit witha theJ Hong Kong government dollar for dollar on all further issues of notes. By the pur- chase of the government notes for use it will save all expense and trou- ble of issue and handling.
 The vaults of the local banks are filled to overfowing with silver coin and safe outlet is sought. For 3 time the government proposes to hold in reserve the entire value of all sales made, but as Sia1n's credit be- comes established in other countries safe reserve will be held and the surplus invested in foreign securities.
 The present treasury balance is about 1e,ooo,ooo ticals at home and e35o,ooo in Europe. Siam has no public debt.

Water in the Mouth.

It is said that the sense of smell is very much keener when the mouth is filled with water. An application may be made of this when it is thought that the house is on fire. Doctors put this plan in practice when called to a case of poisoning from prussic acid, for the only way of detecting this virulent poison is by the use of the olfactory nerves. It is suggested that the idea would be of value to cooks when baking bread and to washer women when ironing g.-Science.

Boston. June 4.-Independence went

Boston, June 4.--Independence went down the bay for an airing yesterday just a spin to stretch sails and rigging. The Lawson yacht showed herself to be speedy, particularly with started sheets. She was in the wind two hours, and under three lower sails showed good speed. She answered her rudder quickly, and, in fact, acted most satisfactorily to her master, Cap tain Half, her designer, MT Crownin- shield, and her owner, MT Lawson, who watched her every move from his steam yacht.

Bridgeport cannot have all the luck when playing with the Waterbury team, and although she won the game in Bridgeport Saturday on great good luck, or, as one of the Bridgeport play CTS expressed it, by stealing it after Waterbury had won it, she failed to land the coin yesterday. It was a mighty lucky thing for Waterbury, in the first place, that Kane was tried in the box, for the visitors in the first two innings. for it was in those in- nings that Waterbury piled up enough runs to give them the game almost. Weisbecker started off by getting a base on balls. Kiernan sacrificed and Mccormick drove out a nice single. Manager Connor hammered a liner to right field for three bases, and the whole result of this bombardment was three runs. In the second Kane fared even worse. Courtney got first on Rogers error, Matthews drove the ball across the right field track and never stopped running until he had crossed the plate. Clancy pounded out a two-bagger, Weisbecker walked to first free again, Kiernan slammed a safe one to the field, and Conror drove out another hummer. This fusiIade netted us five runs and then Mir Kane was put on the bench. Dougherty, who took his place, allowed us but two hits and one run in the next six in- nings. That one run was a screech- ing homer over the left field track by Weisbecker.
 Bridgeport scored twice in the sec ond inning on hits by Dougherty and Morgan and an error by Mccormick. She scored three times in the third. on a single by Yale. double by O'Rourke, an error by Clancy and a triple by Morgan. She did no more scoring until the eighth, when she got her last run on a single by Rogers, an error by Courtney and q single by Began.

A YEAR BOOK OF LYRICS.

Frederic Lawrence Knowles has compiled
from British and American poets a volume
OF verse arranged in the form Of a calendar
for daily reading. Many volumes containing
selections Of verse and prose for each day
of the year are TO be found. but the ex-
cerpts offered are almost invariably brief
a single stanza. an e~pigrammatic line, etc.
This work differs from all such books in
that it undertakes to serve no religious or
didactic purpose. but rather to afford an
intellectual pleasure and to make easily ac-
cessible a large number of poems of high
quality. Two complete short poems are Sc
lected for each day. not all of them widely
known. though there are a great number
of old favorites, btt all worth reading, or
as the compiler suggests, committing to
memory. They are lyrical poems for the
most part, and that they are well chosen
and the compiler competent for his task
is sufficiently indicated by the fact the
Golden Treasury of American Lyrics"
was arranged by the same hand. With the
number of poems included. the book, nat
urally, covers a wide range of thought,
and a large number of writer's are repre-
scented in its pages. The editor regrets that
copyright restrictions have prevented him
from adequate representation of a num-
Der of popular American writers. There are
more British than American authors
quoted, but it is we'll for Americans to
know these songs. 1t is rather an ingenious
plan to offer them in the shape of a year
book, for they are thus more likely to be
read. The sense of duty that leads each
morning to the perusal of the page for the
day will, in time. become a habit, and the
lofty thoughts and sentiments of many
poets become the real possession of the
reader. Merely as a reference book the vol
ume should have a place in the library. 1t
is well indexed and embellished by a num-
Der of portraits. Dana Estes & Co., pub

COLONIAL PROSE AND POETRY.

Prof. w. P. Trent and B.. w. Wells have
done a good service TO literature in col
lecting in three handy little volumes selec-
lions from the prose and poetry OF the
colonial period, from 1907 to 1776, showing
the beginning of the intellectual and liter
airy movement of the American people.
Much of the earlier prose is heavy and the
poetry is crude, but there is other work
of the annalists and letter writer's that
has a literary tendency; while the later
writer's OF the period indicate in their ef-
forts that literature had secured a foothold
and that it's foundation was securely laid.
These volumes have been carefully edited
and are instructive from a historical stand
point. They are impartial, in that they give
the Cavalier all the space his work merits.
the Puritan, Of course, occupying the most
space because OF his greater industry with
the pen. From Capt. John Smith to Benja-
min Franklin the field has been CLEANED in
an appreciative way, and one is not ashamed
Of the results, which are very creditable to
the writer's who wrought in the formative
period of our country's literature. T. Y.

THE TWELFTH'S COLORS.
Gen. Williams Tells Why the Regi-
ment Had Two Sets.
Northern

Northern Indianian.
Some time ago we noticed in the Indian
apolis Journal that in dedicating the monu-
ment the battle flags of the various regi-
ments would be carried in the procession
held on the day that the procession Will
pass the monument. The Journal gave a
list of the regiments and the number of
colOrS that were issued to them during
their respective terms Of service, and stated
that an attempt would be made to secure
the attendance of as many color-bearerS as
are still living to carry the fagS OF their
old regiments as possible. We also notice
that it gave the Twelfth Regiment two sets
of colors, and this reminded us, as COM
handing officer of that regiment, of the
cause of its receiving two sets. The re-
organized Twelfth R~egiment-it had served
a one-year term in the Army of the Poto-
mac-received it's first "bapusm or nre at
Richmond KY, where 5000 federal troops
all of them new regiments and composed
of men who had never been in a hght-met
the Confederate victors of Pea Ridge, I'M
der General Kirby Smith, 10000 strong, and
were badly worsted, although they fought
five distinct battles during the day. The
color-bearer of the Twelfth was killed early
in the fight, and the carrying of the flag
fell to another man detailed for the pur-
pose by the captain of the color company.
He. too, was killed, and a third one was
selected. Along in the evening, when GER
tain disaster and capture awaited the en-
tire command. the last color-bearer stripped
them from their staffs-there were two, the
American colors and the State fag-wrap-
ped them around his body, and then, re-
placing his clothes, succeeded in saving
them from capture. 1t seemed that the
blood of both the color-bearers who were
killed baptized the flags. and they were
presented to the mother of the first one,
whose name was LennoX, and who lived at
Marion, Ind. When the regiment was re-
organized a set of colors became necessary.
The mother OF young LennoX took so much
pride in the relics that the writer never
asked her to give them up, and procured a
new set from the quartermaSter general :
office. Mrs. Lennox has doubtless Joined
her gallant son ere this. but for a number
of years after the war the old lady pre-
served the flags stained with the blood of
her noble son, and IT is. in all probability.
still in the possession of some relative or
friend of the boy who gave up his life on
the bloody field of Richmond, KY, and IL
is for this reason that the Twelfth Indiana
Infantry is credited with the number of
colors issued TO 1t. as stated by the Jour
nal.
