are legal tender in case Of payment OF
mortgage where good and lawful
money is called for,
Good ana lawful money" doubtless
means legal tender money.
National bank notes are not legal ten
der They are, however redeemable in
lawful money by the United States
treasurer at Washington or at the bank
Of issue. This reader will find legal

attributes rs to give it currency. The
status Of each kind is as follows:
Gold coin is legal tender at its nom.
inal or face value for all debts public
and private, when not below the stand.
ard weight and limit Of tolerance pre-

six DAYS of August The total for the
first seven months of this year is 5000,
large numbers of these being children.
In inland cities near lakes, rivers ana
canals those who know how to swim are
but few as compared with those who do
not. There are few girls and women
who are not absolutely helpless when
they find themselves in water over their
heads, and their fright renders their res
cue all the more difficult. And yet, In
spite of the danger there is no place
where such people are more careless or
foolhardy than in the water.
1t is criminal negligence that causes
this annual waste of life in the water.

as to walk. Chicago Tribune.

There is fad at present for dis
daining dirty money and seeing to 1t
that ones purse contains only bills
and coins that are immaculate. Fresh,
clean bills can be procured from the
bank, where soiled ones will be taken
in exchange, but clean silver is an
other matter, and those who follow
fads must either accomplish 1t them
selves or by instrunting their maids
to do It for them. The silver is
washed in a strong solution of soap

the result being glistening coins in

Washington. The fact was devel.
oped on Tuesday that the United
States government did not intend to
be caught mapping in the event of an
attack by a foreign power which, the
general army stan declared. might be
expected first at San. Pedro. Some
weeks ago It was announced that
General Arthur Murray. chief Of ar
tillery, had started two mine laying
vessels around the Horn for the Pa
cifc upon the way to California
ports. u
The emergency plan of defense at,
San Pedro is to lay the mines at tho
first intimation of the hostile move
ment against the Pacific coast. Sim
ultaneously with this. a large num-
Der OF field guns, which have been
selected and are ready for shipment.
were to be sent to San Pedro. The
experts say that with the system Of
mines already perfected for San
Pedro harbor. 1t would be impossible
for a feet to enter the harbor. no
matter how formidable the aggrega-
ton OF war vessels. The large num-
Der of field guns would prevent the
entrance Of any smaller craft for the
purpose OF destroying the mines.
In the meantime orders were
placed for rushing a number of pow
erful searchlights of the sixty-inch
type and It has been closely esti-
mated that these would have been In
stalled within a month II there was
any suspicious movement OF an en-
emy's vessels.
The vessels which are coming up
the Pacific coast have not only stores
of mines and torpedoes on board, but
also expert mine layers. One OF the
most interesting and Illuminating
features Of these plans is that the
war department officers say that the
government would not have had to
rely on the supplies that are coming
up the coast to California.
Mines and torpedoes OF all kinds
are now In large stock upon the Pa
ciflc coast, and good defense could
have been put up without the aid OF
the mine laying ships. The scheme
to be perfect. however. could not be
possible without the ships.
One q the star ofiicers was asked
how long fleet could be kept out OF
San Pedro. He said: "At least until
the battleships on this coast reached
the Pacific. and these were to be fol-
lowed in due time by the Atlaruo
battleship fleet"
