Employ White Servants.

That was a splendid proposition" said a citizen yesterday. which Hart we'll Douglass submitted to the Com mercial and Industrial Association Tuesday night providing for the em- ployment of white servants by the households of Montgomery.
 T doubt if there is housekeeper In Montgomery whose life is not burdened by the unreliability and the shiftfess- ness of negro servants One never knows when the cook and house girl leaves at night if she will return on the morrow. The negro servant cares very little for her employment and ap- pears to have absolutely no regard for her employer.
 The Commercial Association would do the people of Montgomery great service if 1t would take hold of this matter and solve 1t in business-like manner. It Is a matter of business, a vital matter to the wives of business and professional men.
 'T suggest that clubs be formed for the purpose of hiring white servants. There are thousands of German and Swedish women in the Northwest who would come here if guaranteed employ ment. If, a committee of business men would undertake to secure the names of every person who would employ these white women they might bring them to Montgomery one hundred or more at a time."

IRON WAS USED AS MONEY.
Rollsn's Ancient History Tells Of a
Team of Horses That Was Re-
quired to Move S88.
Scientific American.

OSlSHlIIlA !4Ncii'
Plutarch says: Not content with
this (the equal division OF the lands,
ETC.. OF the Lacedaemonians) he (Ly-
curgus) resolved to make division OF
their novableS, too. that there might
be no odious distinction or inequality
left among them: but, finding that it
would be very dangerous to go about
it openly, he took another course and
defeated their avcrice by the follow
ing strategen: He commanded that
all gold and silver coin should be
called in, and that only a certain kind
a money made OF iron should be cur
rent. \ great weight and quantity
was OF little worth. SO that to lay up
twenty or thirty pounds there was re-
ouired a pretty large closet, and to
remove it nothing less :han yoke OF
oxen. With the diffusion OF this mon
ev. al once a number Of vices were
barished from Lacedaemon for who
would rob another OF such a coin:
VINO would uniustly detain or take
bv force. or accept as brlbe, thing
which was not easy to hide or credit
t. have, nor indeed OF any use to cut
in peices: For when it was just red
hot they quencI1ed it in vinegar, by
that means spelling it. and made 1t
almost incapable Of being worked"
Clare in his universal History OF
the World" Vol. II, page SIS, says:
To render the stare dependent on its
own territorial products, and to pre-
vent any individual from accumula-
ting an undue amount Of wealth, he
Uycurgus) prohibited the use of any
money except an iron coin with so
small a value in comparison with its
bulk Of weight that the necessity OF
using it as medium OF exchange
would make it difficult to carry on
trade, especially foreign commerce.
By subjecting this iron coin to pro-
cess and rendering ii brittle and unlt
for a (an) other use, Lycurgus en-
deavored to destroy every desire to
hoard it as treasure.
Rollin. in his 'Ancient History,
Vol. |. page 6S7. says: First he Ny-
curgus cried down all gold and silver
money. and ordained that no other
should be current than that of iron,
which he made so very heavy and
fixed at so low rate that cart and
two oxen were necessary to carry
home sun? OF 10 minae 800 French
livres, about $3.50, and a whole
chamber 70 keep it in"
This was done for the purpose OF
sapping the foundation Of avarlce.
From the above quotations it would
seem that, while iron was much more
valuable than it is now, still it was not
coined into money. 1t seems that
team of oxen could haul about $3.50
worth OF coin. l presume the same
sort of team might haul one-fifth that
value of iron at the present date.

A New Use For Old Calendars.

United States senators occasionally
follow the custom o: newspapers in
hitting humorously at the city Of
Philadelphia, and senator Foraker
stopped in a serious debate recently
to indulge his sense OF humor. The
senator was having passage at words
with Senator Penrose over the Chi
nese exclusion bill. Foraker had as
serted that the courts have decided
that no Chinese except laborers may
be excluded under the present law,
and he had alluded to a decision Of
the supreme court.
Senator Penrose suggested that the
fifty-seventh Federal reports contain
a different decision.
Yes said Mr. Foraker, 'but long
subsequent to the fiity-seventh FEEDER
a! reports the supreme court decided
as I have said. The old report is not
modern law" Then he told this story:
The senator from Pennsylvania
reminds ME OF man who was going
around gathering up last years al
manacs and calenders.
What can you do with those?
some one asked him.
Why I intend to sell them in
Philadelphia he said"
