The year 1902 was a record
b-e lker Financially: During the
year the highest point ever
touched was reached by the total
money supply, the total cash in
the United States treasury, the
gold owned by the treasury, the
god in circulation, the cash in
national bank preserves, the num-
Der of national banks, the cash
holdings of New York banks, the
loans of New York banks, de-
posits New York banks and
the monthly sales of stocks on
the New York exchange. In
spite of alternate activity and
dullness Of the stock market,
with dullress in evidence most
of the time, the statistics that 90
to indicate the soundness OF
general com crcial conditions
were never more favorable.

Sound Trans1nission,

A curious instance OF tie transmits
sion of sound through the earth was
noticed by two French engineers at
Kef. On July 90 they happened to be
in an excavation in a volcano in the
Dyr mountains which has been extinct
from time immem0rial. TIE altitude
IF the excavation was about 3.4CO
feet above the sea level. Suddenly
they feald the sounds of heavy can
nonaGing. the reports following at
regular intervals. Returning to Kef
Il day or two later they read in the
papers that in tie course Of some
naval maneuvers the French feet on
the day and 1t the hour at which they
had heard Ike reports lad Teen en-.
gagged in oombarCing Eizcrta. The
sound, therefore, must lave been
transmitted from Dizerta to Dyr, a
distance Of somewhat over 100 miles.

George Schaub, a we'll known German
citizen of New Labanon. Ohio, is a con-
slant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung.
He knows that this paper aims to ad-
vertise only the best in it's columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Plain Balm
advertised therein for lame back. he did
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suf-
fered with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says !:
"After using the Plain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, 1 feel as though
born anew and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of
her wonderful recovery. The valuable
liniment is for sale by all druggists.

presided. She said that there was no
reason why women should be discrimi-

examinations and were working 1nder
its provisions. Senator Hanna wiz be
appealed to and later President Roose-

asked TO provide a remedy
Treasury officials. when questioned
about this matter. say that there are
a few isolated cases Of women laborers
doing clerical work in the Treasury.
The department Iaborers are divided
into two classes. skilled Iaborers and
unskiIled laborers. Employees Of the
first class have the privilege after two
years service OF taking civil service
examinations for the grade Of clerk &C
cording to their standard on the pro-
motion register.
The position OF unskilled laborer has
no such privilege attached. and is sup
posed 10 be filled by men and women
who have not the qualifications for cIer-
ical work. The authorities claim that
n these positions are filled by employees
qualified educationaIly to be clerks. the
grievance is on the side Of the Ia
borers not having such qualifications.
According 10 rule Il OF the Civil Ser
vice Commission, the laborers are not
required 70 do clerical work and If any
labOrers are being compelled 70 do such
work they have the right OF appeal.
