direction of Miss Witherly's cottage,
having quite resolved to waste no more
time about 1t, but to propose at once.

CURRENCY is INSURED
Sender Now Protected Against Lost

Money Is now sent everywhere in
single packages containing $4,000 or
less, under policies of insurance pro-
tecting the owners against every pos
sible hazard, at rates varying from Is
to 80 cents per $1,000 of currency in
and $50 denominations, besides sup
plies of 81 and s. for use as "hand-to-

New York Post. The business has now
grown to large proportions and is writ.

companies in Europe and America.
One very interesting claim paid few
days ago was for the loss of a parcel
containing $2,7OO in bank notes ship
ped through the mails by a Canadian
institution. The destination was a
small postoffice, where the business
was so light that the postmaster, not

home every night undeivered register
ed mail that arrived during the day.
The package of bank notes was taken
out of the office in this way, and lust
before the postmaster reached home he
was attacked by foOtpads and relieved
of the money. The loss was immedi-
ately reported and the insurance com.
pany at once reimbursed the institu-
ton, at the same time Offering $500 re-
ward for the detection of the thief.
The case las not been cleared up vet.
Packages containing $4,000 of in

that went through bridge in a South

derwriters were much concerned over
the incident until they discovered that

were stored remained safe on the

point, and now-just as Mr.. Starline
had made up his mind-poor Miss
Witherly began to despair. She had
wasted two years upon a clergyman
which she might have spent more
protitably, for she had driven from her
a very respectable farmer with serious
intensiOns, and he had married some
one else.
This morning a false report that Mr..
Starlne was counting Rosa Rhubarb,
the doctors daughter, had reacl ed her,
and she was very cross. Moreover, her
dear crony, the Widow Lane, had come
to stay all day. Every woman has one
crony in the world before whom she
plays no part. over late lunch. Miss
Witherly was talking to Mrs. Lane as
she talked to no one else, when the
clergyman arrived, and a new servant,
who was not acquainted with the gen.
tleman, thus announced him:
"A man wants you, Miss Witherly."
"Old Hopper, l suppose" said Miss
Witherly, Il promised to send his wife
some clothes; put him anywhere, Jane,
out OF the way until can eat my
lunch, for l don't disturb myself for
any one to-day"
And Jane, returning to Mr.. Starline,
escorted him to the parlor, where every
word that was spoken in the dining
room was plainly audible.
The clergyman seated himself in the
largest armchair, which was near the
communicating door, and folded his
hands and waited. He was composing
an ornate proposition. He had got as
far as: my dear and respected Miss
Witherly, you may have remarked, "
when suddenly a sharp voice smote his
ear with these words, "Old Starline."

MODERN BULLET WOUNDS.
United States Army Surgeon Dis
courses on the Various Kinds.

united states Army surgeon Dis
courses on the Various Kinds.
In the course of an address In
which he described some of his ex-
perience as surgeon with the Amerl-
can army in the Philippines, DR.. w.
d. Webb stated that his personal OBJ
servations of the character of wounds
made by the modern small-bore high
velocity bullets was not in accordance
with what he had read in the litera-
ture of the subject, says the Hospital.
He found that he was quite unable to
tell from the nature of the wound at
what range wounded man had been
hit, or to say beforehand what kind
of wound would occur at given
range. AS a general rule the nature
of the tissues struck was of more CON
sequence than the range at which the
bullet was fired.
Thus wounds of the Uranium or Of
compact bOnes were accompanied by
extensive communion, while wounds
involving the soft tissues were, al
most always, perforating in charac-
ter, with very small apertures of en-
trance and exit. He saw number
of accidental wounds in the hands
and feet where the muzzle of the rifle
was within a few inches of the in
Jured member, and in these cases a
small perforating wound was the usu-
al result, unless the metacarpal or
metatarsal bones were involved, in
which case there was commonly pres
ent extensive communion, with fore
ing of the fragments outward and a
large wound of exit
He saw a number of wounds made
at ten to twenty yards in native priS-
oners shot while attempting to escape,
ana these again failed to show the ex-
plosive effect described for this range.
unless the Uranium was involved.
Three natives, shot at 1,4OO yard
range sustained perforating wounds,
with small apertures of entrance and
exit two through the chest and one
through the thigh. Wounds of the
head were accompanied by extensive
communication and usually resulted
In immediate death. Wounds of the
thorax were in practically all cases
perforating, with small wounds of en-
trance and exit. An uneventful recov-
cry with few symptoms other than the
expectoration of a small amount of
blood was the rule, unless a large
vessel was involved, in which case
death usually occurred in the field.
Wounds Of the abdomen-unlike the
experiences of the South African war
were highly fatal. Every case that
he saw which was not operated on
died either Immediately or soon after
the wound was inflicted from peri
tonitis. Only two cases recovered ana
In both there were perforations of
stomach or intestine which were closed
by suture.

Miss Witherly-Cansard Witherly,

exceedingly plain; certainly she was
young enough and goodlooking enough
