MORE MONET.

The price of diamonds has been put up. but the indications are that we shall still be able to buy them. The recent increase in the amount of the eountry's circulating medium has been most remarkable. Not only is the bank note circulation now at the highest point ever reached-double what it was six years ago-but in all kinds of cur rency except silver in it's various shapes there has been a great gain. The increase in July alone was more than eight million dollars, and since the first of July, 1896, the aggregate cireu- lation has grown from Sl,5O6, ,OOO,O 900 to s2,6O5, 100000, So great an increase more than meets the earlier Populist demand for a currency that keeps pace with the population, the per capita circulation now being $S1.29. compared with $21.1O nine years ago.
 Good. As long as the per capita con- tinues to increase so long can we con- tinue to brag. We are great and rich, and what more is there to be desired?

HOW TO CATCH CATFISH.

When you are out for meat, there are tow preferred methods of taking the Icat, one with the "trot line," and the other with set hooks. The trouble With the former is, that after it has
 been baited for few. days the gars
 find the place and take off the bait all
 most as fast as the fisher can put 1t on.
 So the location has to be changed fre-
 quently. If a spot cannot be ready
 found where the line can reach across
 the stream. a good plan (and one
 which the writer has found successful
 and nrefers,) Is to fasten one end of
 the line high up on tree on the bank, then weight tue other end of the line heavily and carry 1t in diagonally
 down, not upstream and drop the
 weighted end in deep water. With hooks strung on short lines and baited
 with small perch, there is something to tempt the fish at every depth of water, from a few inches below the surface to the bottom, where the gars seldom hunt, They seek their prey nearer the
 surface, and for this reason are so troublesome about straight-across
 trot line. .r'.. "}->
 The. most catfish are taken on set lines tied to swinging limbs which give play to the fish that are hooked. Choose
 dark night for catfish are shy of bit
 ing at baits that they can see dis tinctlS. or better wait for a rain that has nauddled the water and caused a
 slight rise in the river. Then the cat fish began to swim up stream, feeding
 along close to the banks in little bays and eddies where the smaller fish have taken refuge from the rush of the wa ters. Set out your lines before dark so
 that you can see how to choose well
 the location of each hook, if they are to
 be visited during the night, and bait the hooks with small perch. Fasten
 the hook through the fieshy part of the perch s back, just in front of the dorsal fin. This will not hurt him, and a
 perch fastened will swim and play around for hours, and, approximately offer more attractive bait to the feed- ling catfish. Another excellent morsel Is spring-frog, artisically put by being hooked through the back with his hind legs tied with a string to the hanck of
 the hook, thus giving the frog the ap-
 pearance of having just dived into the water, Catfish thinks so--makes rush
 and a gobble, and--well, he's your meat if the line holds.
 < If one is hard put to it, woodpeckers sparrows, any kind of birds, plucked and quartered. make good bait, but the t,4AA A,ks II.
 during the "fall rise" will break up
 catfish families in a surprising maner.

WILBUR F. DAY.

What shadows we are, and what shadows We pursue!" Only few days ago Wilbur F. Day returned to New Haven from a European trip in good health and good spirits, and took up his weighty business burdens with re- newed vigor and interest. Now, after a sudden and short illness, he has ceas- ed from his labors, and will be seen of men no more. What mystery and what a reminder to those of us who still go to and fro.
 MT. Day was one of New Haven's very best citizens. Thoroughly identi- fled with her past and present, he so lived and worked as to do her honor and win honor from hey. IIn made the bank of which he was for 50 long the animating and controlling spirit dis tinguished for soundness and safety. The acuteness and accuracy of his judgment in financial matters were firmly established ard widely re- spected. His uprightness was a tower of strength to all whose affairs were in his hands, And his quietly persistent attention to duty gave him constantly increasing skill and efficiency. But MT. Day was not alone a business man. He had keen and comprehending mind which con- cerned itself with that which is best in literature and art, and he paid care full attention to matters of public in- terest He could talk well, and had a fine perception and use of wit and humor. He was a very friendly man, though not in the demonstrative way of some. He was benevolent and quiet " benefcent, The dearest spot on earth to him was his home, and he was a most devoted husband and fa- ther. His whole life was one of con- sistent integrity, quiet industry, and strict fidelity to duty. His pleasant speech and pleasing figure will be much missed by all who have been accustom- ed to them, and there are many hearts whose mourning for him will be deep and long,

several months spent in each of the principal seaports and six months in the valley of the Yangtze-penetrating as far as Ichang. one thousand miles up the river and beyond the reputed pop ulous districts-fnds the current ae- counts of density of population unreli- able. The country people do not live on their farms, but in villages, and these villages are usually small and widely separated. There are vacant areas. The tiger is said to be encoun- tered in all portions of China-though there is no jungle, as in India-and this fact negatives the idea of popu- lation so dense as to utilize every foot of soil"
 The larger cities of China are not so large as they are commonly said to be, and do not compare in extent or popu- lation with the larger Occidental cities. Canton, the wealthiest and, after Pe- king, the most populous, is found on personal examination not to exceed an area of six square miles, much of which area is unoccupied ground. The streets of Chinese cities suggest density of population by reason of the fact that they are narrow and much thronged; but this impression is largely due to the circumstance that the people live on the ground floor, and the visitor for this reason finds himself working his way through a dense crowd" A vest ern city of the same extent, with resi- dences of from three to four stories, office buildings of fifteen stories and rapid transit, would house a vastly larger population with less show of crowding: Upon the whole, the preva- lent opinion as. to the populousness of China is, according to Rear-Admiral Clark, open to question. It is based, perhapss upon the stories of astonished travellers and missionaries of the early part of the last century, who had no adequate means of getting at the facts.

ATS Well Tint Ends Well.

He was a Harvard junior, and he knew
 his Latin and Greek, And she was a little simpleton who lived there by the creek; And he was handsome and, winning.
 and, though learned, not otherwise, And she had hair of hillowy gold and
 heavens blue for eyes. He was spending his last vacation,
 and he stayed up there at the house, And he seemed to like the girl from the
 first, though she was shy as a But the pair went fishing together (she lived, you Know, by the creekl-- And men are sometimes wltching, and
 women are sometimes weak! And so it happened that never col-
 lege vacation passed such delightful byways, nor
 sped the days so fast; And when September came again and
 he had to say 'Good-by," 1 There was tear on the maiden's cheek
 that would grace an angels eye. 'T'll come, my sylvan sorceress," he
 said, as he pressed her hand. With other hifalutin words that she
 couldn't understand; B. And I felt as l saw that parting that
 Fate once more had drowned And in the coils of treacherous love

 all through the winters storm, And all through the April showers and
 the May days mild and warm; But still her lover was absent. He
 cometh not she said. Alas! l am aweary, aweary! I would
 that l were dead!
 You see, he had taught her Tennyson, ., and also Pope and Poe, And many another thing of note that a
 scholars wife should know; But still she was sweet and simple, and
 still she was trusting and true, And still she believed that her Harvard
 man would come again to woo. And he came at last--on the rarest day
 that ever was born to June, With a bachelorhood diploma and a
 Boston souvenir spoon Came back again to the neighborhood
 he'd lived in all his life, And he settled down on his fathers
 farm and made the girl his wife!

he was the most dejected of mortals. He felt as if he would like to throw up his job and go back on the old run, so long as he could see ''his little girI' just for one passing moment. He was wandering about the town in an aim less fashion when his attention was at- tracted to a man building a house.
 What are you building that house for?" he asked.
 For rent" was the reply. DO you want it? It will be finished in about a week"
 "I'n take it," said Frank.
 Are you married?'' inquired the builder.
 ''No. but I will be by the time the house is finished" ya, ,-.
 That night Frank sent a letter to ''his little girl'' in the care of Bill, with instructions to throw it off at the farmhouse.
 wire soon came to Frank that she was on her way to ogden and they were married on the day the house was completed. and they started in house. keeping a week after he received his EApAtA0LIlLls
 Jenkins is no longer on the Oregon Short line. He is a conductor on a Southern Pacific train in this state, and whenever he sees a man who is afraid to get married he tells the story of his courtship, and how he sent for the girl even before he had a house ready to receive her.
 "A man, says Jenkins, that goes a. thinking over getting married never gets married at all. There is not a good railroad man that stops to fool about the thing. He just goes and gets married and takes the chances of de- railment But then, with them love matches, both keep to the rails pretty we'll. It's only those who are figuring and a-figuring whether they shall take Sal or. Mary that get badly spliced and get off the rails.
 Now, my wife has never regretted the day that she took that first letter and opened it-and it was tied to a piece of coal. too. From the day married her I have had luck and I wouldn't change places with Hartman and be bachelor again. s
 Some day my wife and I are going back east just to see the old farm house from Pullman car window. I bet there never was a happier icourtship In the country-though it warn't exact ly romantic. John Hamilton Gilmour in San Francisco Bulletin.

SOME BIG TROLLEY TALK.

Where will the expansion of the troll ley end? The other day there was talk of trolley freight line between New York and Pittsburg, and now the talkis that continuous trolley rides from Chicago to New York, over two routes, and between Chicago and Cincinnati, are among the transportat tion posslbil- ities of the near future. William s. Reed, a builder of railroads, has organ ized a syndicate, which has purchased the Chicago Electric Traction compa- ny, and has organized two other com- panies, which will complete the gaps that now prevent continuous ride on electric roads between the cities named. MT. Reed asserts that these transporta- tion feats will be made possible by next June, and that the traveller may go from Chicago to New York by way of Buffalo, and then through New York State, or may branch off at Cleveland, and travel through Pennsylvania, and so on to the metropolis.
 The Chicago Electric Traction Com pany, which is now in the hands of a receiver, Is to be taken out of litiga- tion, and will then be absorbed by the Chicago and Southern Traction Compa- ny, a new Indiana corporation, which is capitalized for $2,OOO,OOO. This will be increased to $4,0OOOOo. A line is to be constructed from Harvey to Kanka- kee, a distance of thirty-six miles. Other lines will take up the connection, completing the route between Chicago and New York.
 By and by perhaps it will be possible to go by trolley from Boston to San Francisco. Perhaps few but bridal couples will want to take the whole trip, but it will be interesting to know that 1t can be done.

ANoTHER NOTION A7rA CKED.

Now, it appears, we must revise our notions concerning the population of China. Perhaps the general idea is that it is about 4OO,OOO,OOO. But Rear Admiral Clark, after careful attention to published facts and much observa- tion in China itself, is of the opinion that there are less than 100000, 900 peo- pie in China. The Picking authorities probably have reports as to the num- but the published estimates are belfev- ed to be the more or less inaccurate guesses of travellers, missionaries and diplomats.
