MORE MONEY IN SiGRf.

| The United States has had difficulty
 in supplying people with all the money | they have wanted, but it has now in- creased its Facilities" so that it hopes to be able to keep up with the de mand Twelve new presses for print ing money have just been installed in the Treasury department They take
 the places of eight machines of more
 or less antique pattern and limited ca
 pabilities. Some of the old presses
 were bought as far back as 1885 The
 best of them are being transferred to
 the Bureau of EngraVing and Printing
 and the others will be sold With the
 old plant the capacity of the depart
 ment was daily total of about S00,000
 bills, although it was seldom that this presses are running along easily and are turning out 544000 notes every day. This record can be considerably i'm proved if the conditions require it. With the installation of the last of the mod ern presses the department discontin- ued the night force, for it has been necessary to keep the old presses going night and day in order to keep up with the demand sor paper money. AS s generally known. al l of the paper money used by the government is printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but the bills are sent to the Treasury department to receive the imprint of the seal and of the numerals | indicating the denomination. The new presses will imprint the seal and stamp l the numerals. |
 Good work. There will be much eag- l erness on the part of many to get hold l of more money now that there is going | to be more to get hold of.

JHERE IS MUCn TO LEARN.

Alfred Moseley is @ retired London diamond merchant. and in his retire.
 ment he has been thinking out a plan
 to teach and benefit his countrymen.
 He has visited this country and he
 thinks it possible that his countrymen
 can learn from what is done here. So
 he is going to send two commissions of
 inquiry here. One will investigate the system of education in the United States, and the other will look into the conditions of labor here. The commis- sion on educa ton will be made up of twenty members, including experts in primary, secondary and technical edu- cation, members Of the London and provincial school boards. county coun- cils, chambers of commerce and mem bers of parliament The labor comnls- sion will include coal miners, bootmak- CTS, boilermakers, iron and steel work CTS, engineers, printers and all branch es of toolmakers, builders, joiners, bricklayers, furniture makers and leather workers There will be twenty five men, each representing an organ ized trade, picked for their intelligence Each individual member of each com mission will state his personal impress sions independently in a report to be printed on the commissions return. No attempt will be made to arrive at uniform report, as is the practice of of fcial commissions.
 AS MT. Moseley is going to do this at his own expense it is evident that he means business and will try to have his work done we'll The result of the com missions labors may be profitable to and it will be Interesting to us to see ourselves as the commis- sions see us.

genuine shamrock of the Irish species
 grow in this country. MT. Brian G
 Dunn of Bangor, Me-, says:
 "The genuine shamrock grows in at least three widely separated sections under the rugged skies of Maine. Two of these spots are on the coast east of Rockland, and one is inland on the shores Of a brawling stream that makes into the Penobscot River, five miles be- low Bangor, it, the town of Hampden, the historic spot where the British redcoat stormed the hencoops in 1872 and left not an egg or q feathered crea- ture to tell the tale of that famous vic tory over Saltonstsll and his blawsted Hamericans.
 "On the point of Petit Menan, in Washington county Ca tract of land exploited a few years ago by land company that came to grief in it's en- deavor to found rival to Bar liar bor), the surface of the ground is cov- cred with the hardy emblem of Ire lands hardy faith. There are acres of shamrocks there, growing as green as ever they grew on Irish ground.
 ''The natives account for it's pres ence in tradition, handed down for several generations, that, after par ticularly violent March storm heaps of wreckage, containing much clothing of Irish make, were thrown upon the shore of Petit Menan. At that time came the story of the laundering of a ship containing many emigrants bound for America. After the wreckage had disappeared and the farmers were thinking of a hay crop. one of them traversed the point to estimate the amount of the grass growing there. The grass grew sparsely, but the farm CT found along the shore, and extending back for some distance, peculiar clover-like growth. He carried some home and showed it to his neighbors. Nobody could explain it's nature until an Irishman chanced along and recog- nized it as the emblem of his native land. What Irishman wouldn't? How ever, the shamrock grows at Petit Menan
 Daniel Rooney, wit, inventor, story teller and good, old fashioned Irish gentleman, living in Brewer Me, offers to forfeit one hundred dollars to any man who cares to test his assertion, that he can fill a bushel basket with green shamroeks in twenty minutes in the shady glens of Frankfort, Me, where the Heagans, the Killmans, the Cummins. the Geraghtys, the Hogans and the Kelleys settled down and gave their names to the streams and noun tains more than a century ago.

THE TRUE SHAMROCK.
Five Plants Claim the Honor and Each
 Has Some Right to It. Too.

Has Some Right to It, Too When writing of the Irish shamrock a contributor to an American newspa- per said not long ago: There seems to be some strange fatality about the shamrock It is essentially the nation al flower of Ireland. Nowhere else except in that little isle will the plant thrive, and when transplanted it's death is only question of brief time. Irish it is and nothing can change it."
 This pretty statement is romantic but untrue, It is also unscienttic, In the first place, the shamrock is not a flower it is a plant In the second place, it is we'll known that the sham rock will thrive in American soil. We have seen spendid specimens growing in flower pots and garden beds in this city which had ben brought to this country years before. It will grow wherever it is properly cultivated, and does grow freely in other countries
 It is 3. fact not generally known but nevertheless true that there is much difference of opinion regarding what
 
 when the shamrock is mentioned.
 The plant most genrally accepted as the true shamrock is species of hop clover, botaniealy ua,ned Trif0liun minus. In one part of Ireland one species of this plant is accepted as the genuine shamrock, ill another part an other species is recog nized, and else- where in the island still another.
 The trefoil is designated by the Irish word Seamar (Shammer), but the di- minutive seamarog Is the term most used, and has ben Angli- ciZed shamrock.
 The popular belief, respecting the shamrock or trefoil is that St Patrick by it's means satisfactorily explained to the early converts of Christianity in Ireland the Trinity in Unity; exhibit ing the three leaves attached to one stalk as an illustration.

cred minstrels, whose joyous notes
 seem to be an expression of delight at flnd1ng themselves at home once more In some cases the males arrive first as much as month perhaps in ad-
 vance of the females. These little bachelors seem to enjoy their freedom, and as far as we can see. show no inn
 patience for the arrival of their future
 mates. But we cannot tell; perhaps
 beneath that apparent indifference
 there IS the greatest anxiety felt by
 each male for the safety of some partic-
 ular female; perhaps the very mate he
 had last year It is not even known
 whether birds do choose the same
 mates for two seasons in succession or
 not, but it seems not improbable that
 they do. since t is known beyond
 reasonable doubt that the same bird often comes back to the same held, ana the same tree and even to the same square foot of ground to make it's nest
 It is also known that young birds come back, if not always, at least in some cases, to the very spot where they were
 born. Audubon was the first to prove this, by fastening wire bands about the ieSS u young pnOepeS, llus pTlilS dpiS to positively identify them when they came back the following year. l have often thought that great deal of knowledge concerning the age of birds, the extent os their mgrations and the extent to which they annually come and go to the same localities, might be ob- tained by systematically tagging the hedglings with marked or differently colored aluminium bands, similar to those with which all registered homing pigeons are banded I believe of course that such work should be done under the supervision of competent ornitholo- gists only. I am well aware of the ob- jections which can be advanced on the ground that marked birds would be shot on sight out of sheer curiosity, and had I the time and space at my dispo- sal I could answer those objections. No doubt some individual birds would suffer by reason of the tagging, but in my opinion they would die in as good | cause as did the thousands of speci- l mems which perished to make up the | of our leading ornithologists. |

URIA GL-FED PORK.

There are some ingenious men in thls country. One of them lives in Los An geles, California, and his name is liar rison Gray Otis. MT. Otis is deeply in terested in all that concerns the vel fare of the region in which he lives, moves and makes money, and he has been pointing out to the inhabitants Of southern California that they are not utilizing all their opportunities For instance, he points out that Southern California Orange-Fed Pork" should be a catching sign in eastern grocery stores which cater to wealthy clients, especially if a contrast should be drawn between such meat and that of ami mals that have been fed on the refuse from slaughter-houses. A pig raised from the time of weaning on alfalfa, and then topped off with corn and oranges-with perhaps few orange blossoms to finish up-and the hams boiled in California sherry, should fur" nish a dish fit for a king, or even president.
 Orange-fed pork ought to taste good and sell we'll. Perhaps California will yet send us Apricot-fed pork too.

An interesting experiment in com
 munal life is to be tried in a suburb of Berlin. A large house, containing thirty rooms, situated in extensive grounds of twenty acres, has been rented by a community of mutual ac- quaintances among whom are both married and single. A monthly rent of from fifteen to twenty marks will be levied for each room occupied The Housekeeping will be in common and the kitchen also. One woman and a man will be elected to take charge of all the concerns of the house These officers will be changed weekly A bill of fare and all other matters of inter- est connected with the establishment will be posted up in the hall For food a daily charge of one mark will be made. Whether so moderate a charge will be increased later remains to be seen. There will be a good library and common drawing room, writing room, working room, and dining room. Arrangements are also being made for common playground and garden. The community will consist at first of forty persons, mostly engaged in literary and artistic pursuits.

It is rela ted that before making mill lions ex-Senator Edward O. Wolcott and his brother established law and real estate office in Georgetown, Colo rado. Henry Wolcott ran the real es- tate business and did fairly well, but there was nothing doing in the law, and the ex-senator became discouraged, gos- sips Washington writer, and decided to move to an adjoining camp where a silver lead had been struck He pack ed his belongings on 8 donkey Just as he was leaving he remembered his first sign reading, Ed. Wolcott & Brother" You don't want that sign, do you. Henry?" asked the ex-sera tor. NO, Ed, take it along replied Henry. Ed ward packed the sign on the donkey and arrived at the new mining camp the next afternoon about dusk. The min CTS came up and looked him over. One of them read the sign strapped on the donkey's back, and asked: Which of you ali is Ed?"

Describing Boer methods the London cipline was maintained in a rough and ready fashion. An outpost caught asleep on his post was turned to sweep out the horse lines. The punishment lay not so much in the labor or the fatigue as in the degradation of being set to do employment usually reserved for Kaf- frs. Most of the punishments, how ever, were restricted to money fines.

An odd case has been decided in the English courts in regard to the dam- ages that can be collected for injury to dog. A prize fox terrier was shipped to India for sale, and during the trip his leg was injured, so that on arrival at Bombay the dog was only able to limp on three legs. The owner had taken out an insurance policy of E150 against all risks, and under this he claimed the full face of the policy. The insurance broker claimed that as long as the dog was able to walk on landing, his company was not liable, and no loss could be collected. The judge before whom the case was tried gave it as his opinion that dog trav- cling on three legs was hobbling. not wallsing-for he took walking to mean locomotion in the usual way, upon four legs. On this finding he gave a verdict of G1o0 to the owner as the of his loss.

In these II congress elections, Gov
ering period Of ~ years the Demo
Gratis have been eight times successful
and the Republicans six times; but in
no case has one party succeeded in more
than three successive elections save dur
ing the past eight years The Republi-
cans from 1894 have held longer con

credited TO any one party since the re-
turn TO the Union or the reconstruction
Of the Southern states after the civil
war Their success in the coming cleo
tions would establish record not par
alleled in over 90 years, save only under
the exceptional conditions prevailing
during the civil war.

controversy, the administration treat

titude of the secretary of state, and 80
on.
But most important, perhaps, of all
considerations favorable to the opposi-
ton is the tendency toward reunion in
the Democratic party and otherwise in
the Republican party. The Democracy
is now pretty thoroughly agreed on a
constructive and enlightened Philippine
policy, consistent with republican pIin-
ciples of government, and bound to gain
steadily in popular strength as the ex-
pensive, subversive and unrepublican
nature Of the imperialist policy becomes
clearer to the masses Of the people. The
Republican policy meets with "a power
ful opposition within the party, as well
as a united opposition from, without the
hard and fast lines of its organization
The trusts and the tariff present the
second Of the great questions which will
en- er into the elections, and here again
the Democracy is united, while the Re-
publicans tend to division, This fact
will be emphasized in the choice of
Republican Congressional Campaign
committee. Mr. Babcock of Wisconsin,
long the chairman Of this committee, is
is now regarded ~ unsound on the tar
riff. He is opposed to the maintenance
Of high rate Of duties for the protec-
ton of trusts, and he represents in this
attitude probably a great majority Of
the party west Of the Allegheny noun
tains. His heterodoxy is such as will
most likely lead to or compel his retire
ment from the Craftsmanship he has so
long held The Republican colonial
policy, along with the trusts, further
brings the party into fractional division
over the tariff, and while the leaders
will go into the campaign with the
Dingley tariff still in full force save as
to Cuba, and in pretense Of being as
welded to it as ever the fact that the
high protection forces are in II state of
will remain to trouble
the leaders greatly.
Altogether therefore, the chances
decidedly favor the election of Demo-
cratic house. But only great upheav-
al in the choice of state legislatures for
the election Of senators can change the
political complexion Of the senate
which is now nearly two-thirds Repub-
lican and that is out Of the question.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
