rency, winch of course, facilitate ex- ports. It would cause no surprise if Europe should make further calls upon us; still, two of the most important fac tors in the export movement--the Pan anna canal and the Japanese war pay these facts lessen the reasons for gold shipments. Other hindrances to gold shipments will also come into play ere long. Crop demands will begin; first for winter wheat, which usually de- velops in the last half of June, and next for cotton, the movement of whicn always calls for large shipments of cur rency to the south from New York Then will follow the demands for spring wheat, corn, etc. It is useless to expect the south or the west to meet these demands unaided. Balances now held here and swelling deposits will be drawn down, and we will inevitably witness the usual drain for crop pllr- poses upon this center notwithstanding the oft-repeated assurances that the west and south can take care of them selves The backward and forward flow of currency to points where it will do the most service and secure the best returns is as natural and as cer- tain as the tides of the ocean and pays equally slight regard to pride of loca- tion or nationality. The monetary sit nation as a whole is satisfactory aslde from the possibility of a treasury de- ficit and the operation of Q redundant bank currency, which, i'll times or stress, would materially encourage golu exports.

Twenty thousand quarts of skinned milk day are used in Austria for making substitutes for horn, Ivory ann Der and such like things. The casein in the milk is precipitated by chemi- cal process and then mixed with forma- line. This produces galalith, or petri- fled milk, a hard, elastic, insoluble sub stance that is easily worked The Aus trian dairy experts think that the de- mand for the skinned milk for this purpose will be great enough to in crease the profit in the butter making business by producing a ready market for the by-product.

Boys who, when they are speaking their pieces" suddenly discover that they have forgotten what they were going to say, may comfort themselves with the knowledge that they are in distinguished company, says the Youths Companion. So experienced a debater as Winston Churchill was late ly obliged to sit down in the midst of a speech in the house of commons be- cause his memory failed him. The boy may be sure that his audience will treat him as the house treated MT Churchill, with sympathy and consideration.

The automobile craze is becoming more popular and decidedly more in evidence on the boulevards, says the Chicago Sun. As yet they are a luxury reserved for the rich, for the expense of maintaining machine is quite heavy, aside from the first cost, which is entirely too much. When bicycles first started the price was $50 for a good wheel, but it gradually dropped until one could secure very seryicea- bIe machine for $40. The probabilities are that the automobile will follow the same line and will in time be cheap enough to be within the reach of the majority.

A college woman had occasion last summer to spend few weeks in a fac tory town boarding house where lived three young women who from their childhood had been employed in the mills. These girls represented the more prosperous element of the com munity. One, who was fond of fine raiment and personal adornment. after ward asked Miss McCracken, who tells the story in the Outlook, for some in formation about Schumann, adding that she was learning to play little Of his music. Miss McCraeken has tened to comply, and drew out the req son for the request. The mill operative had always liked music.

The late Sir Leslie Stephen, writing in recent Atlantic on a number of subjects relating to his profession as a writer and editor, says the Reader Magazine, remarked that he had known a good many writers, some of whom appeared to be decent fellows in their way. He goes on to speak of the char acters of a number of literary men he has known, and is able to give even the most talented of them fairly good character. This is reassuring to those who stand on the brink of authorship, especially in view of the opinion quoted by Sir Leslie, that ~the lives of authors, authors used to say, are the saddest Of all reading, except the lives of criminals in Newgate." It may be our general lack of ability in America that causes our writers to take their terrible fate with ease and even tenn pered degree Of enjoyment. We are, perhaps, so busy that we cannot incur criminality, or so prosperous that we do not know enough to be sorrowful.

PIECES YOU CHIP OFF.

Humans Are Prone to Bruises and
 Sores By Contact With Solids.
 1t falls to the lot of the ordinary in- dividulal to knock and brufse himself, or to be knocked and bruised by oth- CTS, a considerable number of times in the course of his existence. From the moment when. as an infant with an inquiring mind. he tumbles out of bed and falls with bump to the floor on q voyage of discovery, he is con stantly coming in contact with some thing that will not budge, the result is that some part of his anatomy has to yield.
 Sometimes he is perfectly aware that a portion of himself has yielded; but in numerous instances he feels 8 little pain in the bruised spot, and be- lieves that nothing more serious has occurred than the removal of a piece of skin, and the development of what learned men term an excrescence.
 It often happens. however, that he has really knicked off or clipped away h piece of bone or RIistle from an in terior portion of his manly frame, and these pieces go wandering about in- side, although he is unconscious of the fact.
 Occasionally he is reminded in an unpleasant manner that some part of himself is loose: now and then the wandering piece gets into joint and upsets its working. This piece desires to go outsinto the world. and the pro- prietor finds that it is protruding from the elbows or shoulder joint Doctors sometimes remove the wan dering piece. but if it is not very in convenient they leave it, says Pear sons Weekly, and in time the patient finds that it has receded again, and he sees nothing more of it The piece has either dissolved or attached itself to some fixed part where 1t does not cause inconvenience.

STORY OF A $2O BILL.
A Kentucky Judges Reason for Keep
 ing the Money 42 Years.


 County Judge W. H. Prewitt, who now lies critically i'll at his home in this city, with very little hope of his recovery, has in his possession $20 bill which has connected with 1t pathetic story of our civil war. While gathering together and arranging his personal effects, in company with sev- eral friends on Tuesday, he pulled from an old box $2O bill. yellow with age, and remarked: saThis must not be spent during my lifetime"
 He then related the following story: "Just after the battle of Perryville I found two young Confederate soldiers two boys, about seventeen or eight cen years of age, lying wounded upon the field. I took them to my home, then in the neighborhood of the battle field, and took care of them for sever al weeks, until they had almost re- covered from their wounds. One morning company of Federal soldiers prisoners to DanvilIe, where they kept us for several days before taking the boys to prison. When the lads were about to be taken away they gave me this $20 bill for taking care of them. I refused at first, but they insisted that take the money, for it would be taken away from them any way, and I would just as soon have it as anybody. I finally consented. They gave me the bill and bade me good-by as they went to prison. This was forty-two years ago." said the judge, "and I have neither heard nor seen anything of the young soldiers since, but have kept this money. Many times I have been broke and in need of a dollar, but I never had a desire to spend the bill. Here it is; it belongs to them. .''-Louisville Post.

Gen. Sam Houston lived. -ot Fort Gibson, where he married his. Chero- kee wife, TaIihina Rogers, said to have been the most beautiful woman in the tribe, whose remains are to be transferred to the United States Nat ional Cemetery at Fort Gibson. Hous- ton lived for time across Grand River from the old fort, on the farm owned by Clip Scott. The house ill which he lived has long since dis appeared, but two pear trees which the "Liberator of Texas planted are still sthding as monuments to this great mans stay among the Chero- kees.
 His last residence in the Cherokee nation was at Wilson's Rock on the Arkansas River. about fifteen miles above Fort Smith, from which he started on horseback for Texas to lead the patriot army to victory. His beautiful Cherokee wife did not long survive his departure, and died a few years later and was buried in a beau tfful grove near a cedar tree, on an eminence overlooking the Arkansas River, where, after repose of over sixty years, her remains are to be re- moved to the United States National Cemetery at Fort Gibson, to be mark ed by suitable monument bearing the inscription: Sacred to the Memory of Talihina, Cherokee Wife of Gen.

DOES NOT KNOW OF
ESCAPE OF BOATS.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 23.--The adrni-
rally processes ignorance OF the report
printed by the London Daily Telegraph
to-day, in a dispatch from Che Foo,
that eight Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers had escaped from Port Arthur
during a severe snowstorm. If knowl-
edge of their contemplated escape ex-
listed here naturally 1t would be care
fully guarded for strategic reasons un-
til certain that they were clear.
There is no attempt, however, to dis
guise the fact that confirmation Of the
report would be welcome intelligence.
1t is quite possible that arrangements
were made for the destroyers with the
aid of a collier to flee southwark and
join the second Pacific squadron to
which they would constitute a power

JEROME PUT A CLERK
OUT OF HIS OFFICE.
Refused Service On Motion Re-
gnrding Rail for Dodge.

New York, Dec. 23.-Charles f. Dodge,
who is charged with perjury in con-
nection with the Dodge Morse divorce
tangle. arrived here tonight on the
steamer Lampasas from Galveston and
was taken at once to police head
quarters.
Dodge is accused of having committed
perjury in swearing thar he had never
been served with summons in the suit
by which his wife. now Mrs. Charles
w. Morse. obtained a divorce, and he
was brought here as a result of the
decision handed down by the United
States Supreme Court, which refused
to sustain his appeal from the decision
of the Texas courts Ordering him to
this city.
1t was said that during the voyage
Dodge had contracted severe cold,
resulting in bronchitis
Nathaniel Cohen, Dodges attorney,
who came with him from Texas, said
there is no truth in the published state
and give up the fight.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morse are now in Eu-
rope.
Early in the afternoon, when the
Lampasas had been sighted, Faw
clerk appeared at the district attor-
neys office and attempted to serve
Mr.. Jerome with a notice of a motion
by Dodge's lawyers, asking that bail
be fixed at once. Mr.. Jerome refused
to receive the paper. The clerk was
persistent and Mr.. Jerome finally
caught him by the coat. stuffed the
notice under the back of his collar and
put him out of his office. The clerk
then threw the paper through the open
door and left.
In speaking of his action later, Mr..
Jerome said:
I'm the first place. Dodge was not
in this country. Besides, he was in the
custody of the United States"
Detectives who arrived on the steam
er with Dodge, said that he is in great
fear over the result of his return to
face trial for perjury, and that on
the way from Galveston he tried to
jump overheard. but was prevented.
After that he was guarded night and
day.
