Money Boxes.

Money boxes to encourage thrift
among the penny wise are ancient and
popular institutions. A dictionary of
1856 mentions money boxes of potters
clay wherein boys put their money to
keepe," and doubtless the thrifty child
of all ages had his money box of some
sort or another. OF late years tin has
writer has recollections of an elaborate
earthenware matched cottage. into
which the money was dropped through
a slit in the roof, which only infinite
patience could hit again when it came
to wriggling the money out. AS a lock

equaled.-Glasgow Herald.

TWO SMALL HOUSES
CD IN EARLY BLAZE

Because of delay in sending in an
alarm, frame house on Mobile street
near Ninth, was burned down at Z
O'Clock this morning and an adjoin-
ing dwelling partly burned. The lat
ter, valued at 500, was damaged posi-
bly, $500 worth. The burned BUILDING
was owned by Thomas Ferguson, and
was occupied by negroes. The fire
was caused from a defective fireplace.
At one time three houses were on fire,
but by hard work the blaze was con-
fined to the two which were burning
when the firemen arrived. Over 100
feet of hose were used to get a stream
from a Seventh street plug.
Chief Potter had been at work only
yesterday inspecting stove fues in
that section and had condemned a fiue
in the adjoining building which had
been reported by tenants.
Up to noon today the department
had made two runs in November.
During October there were fourteen
runs.

InfusoriaI Earth Formed by Dodiss Of
Minute ShsIIfish.
Diatoms are tiny creatures that null
uply very rapidly until they form a
scum upon the surface of the water in
many parts of the world. They are
rarely more than one-hundredth part
Of an inch In diameter and often con-
siderably less. Their shells are COM
posed Of silica, and these shells are
well known to the microscopic on ac-
count Of their great beauty.
When the little creatures die the
shells sink to the bottom Of the stream
or pond, where they form a kind Of
siliceous mud, and there are vast de-
posits of this material in various parts
Of the earth. This infusoriaI earth, as
1t is called, has been christened d.
atomite. and 1t is being used for a
variety of purposes under the name
kieselguhr 1t is employed as We
hicle or absorbent for nitroglycerin.
and the resultant paste is dynamite.
Diatomite is an excellent nonconductor
of heat, and In this capacity 1t is used
for filing the hollow interiors Of the
walls of safes, as lining for stoves
and furnaces and as a covering for
steam pipes and boilers. For such pur-
poses as these it has an advantage
over asbestos in the matter Of price
and also Of weight.
1t can be made into bricks or slabs
nv the addition of a small quantity of
lime or clay, and these bricks can be
raised to white heat without show
ing any signs of fusion.
Diatomite occurs in great quantities
in the United States, in Prussia, In
parts of Scotland, in Canada and to
lesser degree in Western Australia

LITTLE Interest
IN The AMENDMENTS
Appear to be a Forgone Conclusion
That the Act of the Legislature Pro-
viding for Constitutional Changes
Will Not be Ratified.

Notwithstanding the fact that three
very important amendments to the
constitution of Mississippi are to be
voted upon at today's election, besides
'ratifying the action of the primaries
in choosing a representative in con-
gress for this district, voters of For
est county, or large majority of them
at least, appear to have forgotten that
this is election day.
At $50 o'clock this morning no
preparations had been made for either
at the city hall or the court house for
holding the election, and up to that
time a single solitary man had inquired
if there was not going to be an cleo
ton today.
This does not look good for the con-
stitutional amendments, in view of
the fact that it takes two-thirds ma
iority of the qualified voters of the
state to ratify the act of the legisla-
ture providing for changes in the state
constitution. Judging from the light
vote polled at the Hattiesburg pre-
cincts, there is no probability of the
amendments being ratified by the peo-
pie.
1t is probable that the weather had
great deal to do with the light vote
Farmers are probably more interested
in harvesting their potato crops and
making molasses than they are in poll
tics, and inasmuch as a nomination by
primary is equivalent to an election
in Mississippi, very little interest is
manifested in the voting for congress
man. 1t is estimated that less thai
fifty per cent of the qualified voter!
will go to the polls today, and this
of course, means the defeat of the con
stitutional amendments.

Fourteen steamers with a combined

TRACING C0UNTERFElTS.
Exciting Employment For Skilled Sc
cret Service Men.

The tracing of counterfeit bills back
10 the persons responsible for their is
sue Is curious and exciting employ
ment. The expert assigned by the
government to this work are among
the most sKillful members Of the Sc
cret service. The protection or tho
currency depends in large measure up
on their efficiency. and the pains they
take are almost infinite. The follow
ing case is one illustrating the diff
eulties which the secret service people
meet and overcome:
A bank clerk in Cleveland had de
tected counterfeit twenty dollar bill
in the deposit of Il small retail grocer
An expert WIS sent for and under
took the case
He found thar the grocer hao re-
ceived the bill from shoe dealer, who
had II from q dentist, who bad it from
somebody else, and so on. until the
secret service man finally traced n"
bad note to an invalid woman whn
had used 1t to pay her physician
When questioned this woman said that
the money had been sent her by her
brother, who lived in New Orleans.
The sleuth looked up the brother :
antecedents and soon became Goa
WINGED that he was the man wanted.
The brother, however. soon proved to
| the satisfaction of the secret service
man that his suspicious were unbound
ed. Indeed, It appeared that the mon
ey had been received by the New Or
leans man in part payment for rent
of a house he owned in Pittsburg.
While the sleuth was a bit discour-
aged, he couldn't give over the case
when he had gone so far, so he took
the next train for Pittsburg.
The tenant of the house in Pitts
burg proved to be a travelling oculist
who spent most of his time In the mid
die west The secret service man ha6
the good luck, however, to catch him
just as he had returned from trip
bad bill as one that had been giveI
him by patient in Cleveland, tn,
very point whence the sleuth started.
The patient was a boss carpenter
The secret service man got his addres
from the oculist and went right afte
the new clew. At this point he had
premonition that something was goin
to happen, and he wasn't disappointed
The carpenter, an honest old fellow
said that he had received the bill fror
certain Parker The said Parke
was the small grocer in whose ban
deposit the counterfeit had turned u

Afterward 1t was shown beyon

$500 cash for the state, county and
city.
The bank account denotes whether,
it is said, the tiger had been in the
business for long or short time, as
well as the amount of business he had
been doing. That some of them have
been in business long time and have
been doing good business, is indicat-
ed by the size of the bank account.
There are about twenty of these
cases in the Kinds county chancery
court, where civil action will be taken
with view to collecting this tax. An
injunction has been granted against
each of these booked in the chancery
court, restraining them from selling
liquors. These cases will come before
Chancellor Lyell at the next term of
court in February.
In addition there are several cases
before the police court and Justice of
the Peace Cade's court, and all those
who are convicted will be brought be-
fore the chancery court in an effort
TO collect this $1,000 tax, which will
be divided between the city, county
and state. Following this action,
criminal charges will be brought be-
fore the circuit court, and fine and
Imprisonment will, if any of them is
convicted, follow.
