Hinder Proverbs.


Father Tignous. a missionary from In

several Hindu proverbs which will be

The plant that could not be bent when

There is no man who knows every

The cannibal.

James II. Birch has organized in New

No one who has not made a complete

Mr.. Birch, great traveller, was talk

nibalism that once prevailed among the
South sea islanders suggested cannibal
story to him, and he said:
"A man once went to tha circus. Near
the main entrance to the circus there
was a side show, and vast and bril-

over fires, nude natives squatted in Il

Huge Counting Task.

The task of counting every coin and
bill in the sum of $270,0OO,00O. now "
ing in the vaults of the sub treasury in
New York, will be undertaken as soon
as possible as the sequel to the resigna-
ton of Hamilton Fish as assistant Unit
ed States treasurer. A corps of book
keepers under the direction of Treasurer
Treat is already at work checking over
the books of the office This task is a
big one, but it does not compare in mag
nitude with that of counting the cash in
the vaults, which will be begun as soon
as the books have been examined. There
is in the vaults approximately S1T3,00
600 in gold coin, S17.000,000 in currency
and SS0.000.000 in silver coin. and all of
this must be counted and verified piece
by piece. The money is in sealed bags
and packages, but the mark on each of
these must be verified By the actual
counting of the contents. The work will
probably require at least a month. The
counting is only done when an assistant
treasurer leaves the office. Mr.. Fish re-
signed as assistant treasurer in order to
accept a nomination for Congress.

ever since about as fast as they could

TRACING A PANAMA COIN.
Through Eight Hands, but Finally Got
Back to Original Owner.

The Panama 10 cent piece is about
the size of the American dime, and al
though it is worth only half as much as
the latter coin it may be passed as such
in a hurry, says the Kansas City Jour
nal. A man who recently went to the
Isthmus of Panama, returned with one of
these dimes in his pocket. He gave it to
friend whose wife was a collector of
coins. The friend put It in his pocket,
intending to give it to his wife, but
gave it by mistake to his grocer in Brook
Ign. He discovered the loss two days
later and hurried to the grocer to trace
it. if not get it. The grocer said: Eyes,
l remember finding that coin in my cash
register, and got rid of it ten minutes
after you gave it to me. 1t is gone now,
but / will speak to the woman to whom
1 gave it. Six days later the grocer
handed the dime back to its owner, with
the explanation that the woman gave it
to her daughter, who gave it to the tick
ct agent at the Park place station of
the Brighton Beach line who gave it to a
clerk in Manhattan, who gave it to a
conductor on a Broadway surface car.
All the victims had good memories, and
the coin was returned along the line to
its first American owner

Trees and Shrubs.


Whether trees and shrubs shall be
planted in the fall or spring depends on
the latitude in which they are to be
grown and upon the particular kind.
Most deciduous kinds will succeed fully as
well in central and southern ATTITUDES if
planted in autumn, while most of them
in the extreme north will winter kill if
planted at that time of year.
In any event it is well to get the de-
ciduous plants from the nursery in the
fall of the year and if there are reasons
why they should not be Immediately
planted they can be covered during the
winter and will be ready when wanted
for spring planting.
The spring season is often so short
that everything has to be done with a
rush and much of the work that should
be done is omitted. In the fall the
weather is generally more favorable and
the soil is in better condition and the
work is more easily and cheaply done.
However in places where the ground
freezes deep in winter the plants should
not be set out in the fall but should
be stored in cellar or pit or covered
outside by digging a trench in a thor
oughly drained place some two feet deep
and wide enough to accommodate the
roots.
TIE plants may be set in the trench
in an inclined position and very close
together and the soil is gently firmed
about the roots and heaped in a mound
above them. This mound and the tons
of the plants should be mulched or COW
cred with hay, straw or other litter to
prevent too much evaporation during the
winter Nurserymen can usually supply
better stock in the fall and the plants
cannot always be had just when wanted
in the spring because of the general rush
of work.

The Earry Military Band.

A little more than seventy years ago
there was no such thing as a brass band
in existence. The very first band entirely
of brass dates. in fact. no further back
than 1885. Prior to that time even our
military music was produced almost en-
tirely from instruments of wood. and as
recently as 1888 a full regimental band
consisted of two oboes, two clarinets, two
horns and two bassoons.
As showing the important part played
by the sounding brass" in our bands to.
day it is sufficient TO mention that in an
up-to-date first class band. of. say, forty.
two pieces there would probably be found
from eighteen to twenty horns, to say
nothing of saxophones, which are partly
clarinet and partly horn.-Tit-Bits.

the Mississippi river from Hickman,

IN DAYS OF FLINT AND STEEL.
Extraordinary Efforts Required to Get
a Fire Burning.

Sixty years ago the use of flint and
steel to produce a fire was not wholly
unknown. The late William u. Stone
OF Peoria lived at Beaver, Pa His father
one warm August night was stricken
with apoplexy. The fire was out in the
kitchen hearth and his mother, in her
distress, unable to find the finder box,
was obliged to send his brother, Marsh,
two miles and half to a neighbor. She
gave him handful of tow, which he put
in his pocket, says the Peoria Star.
Accusing a neighbor with some difficulty,
she gave him a live coal, which he
wrapped in the tow, and, putting it back
in his pocket, ran home. When he ar
rived there he swung the tow around
his head. thus famed the coal and pro-
duced flame which lighted the candle.
In the meantime relief had been so long
coming that the father was past all SUR
gerry.
