Banks Hoarding Them and Subtreasury Holdf ing the Coins Back. New York, July 28.?Officials at the subtreasury said today that certain banks were boarding dimes and for that reasoD there was a scarcity, although more dimes are in circulation now than ever before. On account of this the treasury has made a rule not to give out dimes in as large quantities as formerly until the situation improves. One report is that a coin rolling concern, which contracts with railroads to put up coins in packages, had for some time been holding a large quantity of dimes, hoping to get a premium on them. According to treasury offiicials,the disposition to hoard dimes came about through reports spread sometime ago that the government was short. It was announced to-day that the Philadelphia mint would reopen August 1, and an extra force will be put to work coining dimes. A Substitute. Little Helen, aged four, was in a frightful predicament. The nurse, carrying * the cherished two-week-old baby up and down before the house, had paused to show the new infant to the bishop, who had asked to look at it. And then the tall, grave bishop, of whom Helen stood in hsd unexDectedlv asked 5'vu"; j i- ? the little girl to give him the baby. How in the world to refuse a request made by such an awe-inspiring person as the bishop the child did not know. But presently she wrinkled her small countenance shrewdly, moved closer to the petitioner, and said, ingratiatingly, "I'll let you have the nest." A MYSTERY SOLVED. "How to keep off periodic attacks of biliousness and habitual constipation was a mystery that Dr. King's New Life Pills solved for me," writes John N. Pleasant, of Magnolia, Ind.

Solicitor Davis Does Not Think it Necessary to Try Alleged Assaulter Until the Regular Court. Columbia, July 26.?Solicitor Davis declines to ask for a special term of the court in Aiken to try the alleged rapist, Isaac Knight. From his home in Barnwell he wrote to day to Governor Heyward acknowledging receipt of the papers and petitions asking for the special term and saying that in his judgment it would be unwise to. make application for the holding of this court for many reasons, among them being that the regular term commences early in October and it would entail useless expense upon the county. The prisoner is safe in the'penitentiary and is in no danger of being lynched and there is no danger of a miscarriage of justice, fear of which the petitioners gave as their main reason for requesting a special term. Pays to Advertise. When the teacher was absent from the schoolroom, Billy,the mischievous boy of the class, wrote on the blackboard, "Billy Jones can hug the girls better than any boy in school." Upon her return the teacher called him up to her desk. "William, did you write that?" she asked, pointing to the blackboard. "Yes, ma'am," said Billy. "Well, you may stay after school," said she, "as punishment." The other pupils waited for Billy to come out, and then they began guying him. "Got a lickin', didn't you?" "Nope," said Billy. "Got jawed?" "Nope." "Whatdid she do?" they asked. "Shan't tell," said Billy, "but it pays to advertise."?Ladies' Home Journal. No Wool Over His Eye9.

PATTERSON, JR., J. W. PATTERSON, Barnwell, S. C. WOMEN CHESS PLAYERS. 1 Why None of Ttiexn Is Mentioned In J the Annals of the Game. Ladies' chess clubs are being established in various parts of the country;, special inducements are held out for their patronage by the promoters, of national and international tournaments. / and articles on the game appear regu- ' larly in journals which cater specially to them. Women have always played and taken part in the game, though probably never to the same extent as now. It is, therefore, remarkable that In the whole of its enormous literature t there does not appear the name of any woman among the stars of the first, second or tliird magnitude. One j may go through volume after volume containing thousands of games and not find a single one played by women ?LIch any editor thought worthy of a permanent record. When the question has been raised before, it has been involved with that of the intellectual superiority of one t sex over the other. Today the answer 1 to this would be totally inadequate ? and inconsequential. There are men in t ! the front rank of players at the pres- t ent moment who by no stretch of the imagination or the term can be said to occupy their position on account of exceptionally intellectual endowments. While the game always appeals to intellectual men and women, intellect is not the only factor which makes the great player. A careful examination of the games of players whom the world recognizes as great reveals the fact that the faculties and qualities of concentration, comprehensiveness, impartiality and. above all, a spark of originality, are to be found in combination and in varying degrees. The absence of these qualities in woman explains why no meiffber of the feminine sex nas occupied any high position as a chess player. There are many women who are' earnest students of chess whose knowledge of the theory, principles and all the accouterments of the game is phenomenal. But mere knowledge can make nobody great Taking results, good Judgment is much superior to knowledge imperfectly applied.?London Saturday Review. A WONDERFUL CALENDAR. The Four Age* From the Theoiophlcal Point of View. There is nothing more wonderful in the chronological and time keeping line i than the "Theosophical Calendar. Ac- ' cording to the Secret Doctrine." From ] the theosophical point of view the four l ages are as follows: Sata yuga (golden < age), 1,728,000 years; tresta yuga (sil- < ver age), 1,290,000 years; dwapara ' yuga (copper age), 864,000 years; kali I yuga (iron age), 432,000 years. The 1 ' total of these four ages makes one 1 maha yuga, or great age, of 4,820,000 1 years. One thousand maha yugas < make one kalpa, or day of Brahma, ' equal to 1,000 times 4,320,000 years. 1 After the expiration of that unthink- ' able period of time the night of Brahma, equal in duration to the length of 1 the day, come6 on, and the earth van- ! ' ishes from the plane of existence. ( Three hundred and sixty days and nights of Brahma make one year of Brahma, and 100 years of Brahma make the great kalpa, a period of 311,040,000,000,000 years, after which the sun and the entire solar system plunge into Impenetrable night and everything on the "objective plane" is destroyed. Then comes the period known . as the great night, which is equal in | length to the great kalpa. After the > great night has lifted Its sable mantle | a new solar system Is formed and evo> lutlon begins anew. \ According to the doctrine of the theosophlsts, we are now living In the kali yuga, the last of the fonr ages, and it began nearly 5,000 years ago, with the death of Krishna, who died 3,102 years before our era began. The , first minor cycle of kali yuga ended 5 in the years 1897-98, but we still have 1 something like 427,000 before we arrive at the end of the present age. > Kali yuga is also known to the theI osophists as the black age. It is an i age of spiritual darkness, in which the t human race pays for the misdeeds > which are recorded against them in the previous ages. * .1 Hi* Prescription.

Da ever accii, uupiu^ MI ? Cored of Their Ills. A remarkable ceremony recently :ook place at Echteroach, In Luxemburg. It was tbe annnal dance of the ?plleptics. From all over Europe came housands of unfortunates, led to Ecb:ernach by their faith In the healing - ^ CHEYMT7STDA3JCE A MILE A3TC> A QUABTEB. properties of the bones of St WiliCred. St Wilifred was a great bishop Df ancient Germany, and to him are ascribed many miracles. Epileptics were especially looked after by him, says tradition, and with the passing of the centuries his fame has grown until now a visit to his resting place Is believed to be sufficient to cure this Iread disease. That most of the vis- ; I tors go home nncured has not apparently Impaired popular trust In the efficacy of the pilgrimage. I This year the ceremony was made more notable than usual by the re- . moval of the saint's bones to a church especially dedicated to his memory. Starting at the outskirts of the town, the pilgrims advanced In a long, waging line to St Wilifred's shrine. To fulfill the requirements they must ! dance a distance of a mile and a quarter. Five or six abreast the epileptics, holding each other's hands, march "en echelon," to use a military phrase, tak- 1 lag three steps to the right or left : then retreating two, thus taking five steps to advance one. It is a sort of march or dance sometimes seen at American college celebrations. Yale I men will recognise it as the "Omega Lambda Chi." As they dance the pilgrims sing and shout It is a most weird sight, too pathetic to be funny. Nobody laughs. The tense faces of the sufferers, many of them old and bent men and women, others little children with blighted lives before them, can excite only pity and sorrow. Often the well residents of Echteraach are carried away by the excitement and join the grotesque procession, adding their voices to the shrieks of the trembling epileptics. Arriving at the shrine the marchers are met by a priest, ana religious services follow, which, If they do not cure, at least console the unhappy victims of one of the worst of physical weaknesses. FISH KNOWS HIS MASTER Brook Trout Shows Its Gratitude For Not Being Served For * ^ Dinner. It is the belief of C. D. Allen of Franklin, Pa,, that a brook trout is more Intelligent than any species of fish or animal and that it is capable of gratitude. Recently be caught three trout in a stream near that place, and one of these was a foot long and alive when ilr. Allen reached home. He was loath to eat such a fine specimen. So he put It in a tank of water in his warehouse. He fed the fish daily with flies, and inside of a week the trout showed that It recognized Allen and would come to the surface to be fed whenever be ap... * * j proacneu ine rana. Mr. Allen then placed the fish In a I pool in a small stream near his house, j and two days later when he visited the j pool the fish came to the surface and j gave every evidence that It recognized / him. i Other men have tried to get a sight I of the fish, but it sulks in the bottom \ of the stream and will only come to j the surface when Mr. Allen visits the ! pool. i ? ? ?
