Tradition omeitinics plays strange iprianks with dead me'Us reputations. It would inake an interesting half hour for* 11hk eaedrpegbyond thle Styx i he could hear the exclange of amen ities between Duns Scotus and Judge Lynch, the one a shrewd. clear reason yr, whose name now signifies a fool; the other a simple Quaker gentleman, whose name has come to stand for or ganized savagery. Charles Lynch was a man whose services to his country as a brave pion eer and rightcous judge, as a soldier and a statesman. are by no means de serving of oblivion, still less of oblo quy. It seems indeed one of the in iqluities of fate that his name should now be universally applied to proceed ings that no one would condemn more heartily than he. The records of the court of Bedford county, in Virginia, and those of various Quaker meetings, the journals of the Virginia house of burgesses and of the first constitu tional convention. taken together with family documents and traditions, show him to have been an upright and useful member of society and a wise and en ergetic leader at the most important crisis of American history.-Atlantic. Volunteers In South America. There is a gentleman in Boston who spent a number of years among the various little South American repub lics and who gives an interesting ac count of the methods of one of these small states when it comes to a ques tion of making war. The "navy" of the particular power referred to con sists of a single old fashioned side wheel steamer, armed with one gun. In time of peace she is engaged in haul ing freight up and down the river which runs close to the capital. At the outbreak of one of the peri odical wars not so very long ago the president of the republic took charge of the stean:.er and started up stream oil a recruiting expedition. leaving his senior general in charge of the military preparations at the capital. A couple of days later the steamer returned, an( some seventy miserable looking natives, each firmly bound with a strong rope. were marched off and turned over to the general, with a note from the president which read: Dear General-I send you herewith sev enty volunteers. Please return the ropes at once. -Boston Herald. Didn't reccgnize It. A distinguished member of the Unit ed States judiciary has discovered that he still has something to learn in the direction of agriculture. He bought a farm as a summer home for his family and finds especial de light in walking about the place, com menting on the condition of the crops and in many ways showing his inter est in his new possessions. One evening during the summer he was strolling over the farm. The hired man had cut the grass during the day, a very thin crop. and had left it lying on the ground to dry. The judge saw it, and, calling his man, he said: "I seems to me you are very care less. Why haven't you been more par ticular in raking up this hay? Don't you see that you have left little drib blings all around?' For a minute the hired man stared. wondering if the judge was quizzing him. Then he replied: "Little dribblings! Why, man, that's the crop!" The Prayer That Hurt. A member of a certain M~assachu setts parish. prominent for his thrift and pecrsonal consequence, was also notorious for his overbearing assump tions and pomnpous airs. Under the dis tress and fright of a dangerous illness he "put up notes" on several successive Sundays, and after his recovery, ac cording to usage, he offered a note to be read by the miinister expressive of his thanks. The minister wvas somewhat "large" in this part of his prayer, recalling tihe danger and the previous petitions of the "squire." and returning his grate ful acknowledgments with the prayer that the experience might be blessed to the spiritual welfare of the restored man. H~e closed with these words: "And we pray, O Lord, that thy serv ant may be cured of that ungod~iy strut, so offensive in the sanctuary." THE NEW MANAGER. Why He Did Not Discharge a Certain Railroad Conductor. Among the first railroads built in the United States was a little line abcout twenty miles in length. In the course of time a big tunnel line was construct ed through the same country. The orig Inal line became merely a branch. I'or: many years it wvas run in a cheap way, with one locomotive, one engineer and two or three freight ears. Finally a new general manager vwas: appointed, Hie had been in the oilice but a week when he sent for the one lone conductor who had held the posi tion ever since the road was built. "I would like to have your resigna tion," said the general manager when the conductor appeared. "My resignation?" inquired the con ductor in astonishment. "Yes, sir, yours." "What for, pray?" "Well, I want to make some changes and get newv blood in tLe line," was the general manager's reply. "I won't resign," answered the con ductor. Then I will be compelled to dis charge yo)u, a step whlich for your sake I had hoped I would be saved f-om taking." "Young man, you will not dischar-ge me. I own a controlling interest ia the stock of this railroac. and elect the president and board of directors. I shall have you fired." The old conductor- did really own the majority of the stock and, as he taid.' put in his own board of directors and presidenL __. ___ Lion and Eagle. An English paper notes it as a curi ous fact that although the eagle is the national bird of tihe United States and hrefore deserving of peculiar ho'nor, yet, in point of fact, the bird is ncarly always ruthlessly killed when the op portunity offers. This statement seems to be imp.-oss lye until it is remembered that when ever they have a chance Englishmen ruthlessly kill the lion, which sym bolizes the greatness and power of the British empire.-New York Tribune. The Period oit Danger. During the recent trial of a suit to ollect a medical fee a witness was put on the stand to pr-ove the correctness of the physician's bill. The man was asked by counsel for the defense whether the doctor did not nanke several visits after the patient was out of danger. "No," was the reply. -"1 considered the patient in danger so long asm thne doctor ,continued his visits." UNCLE SAWS MONEY. THE SAFEGUARDS THAT HEDGE ABOUT ITS MANUFACTURE. Care With Which Even the Sha'vinga of the Peculinr Paper Used Are Handled-Counting and Recouating I the Treasured Sheets. Uncle Sam's paper money has its birth in the bureau of eagraving and printing in Washington. Iere a corps of engravers cut its lines into plates of steel. Five hundred men and wom en are in one room. It is the largest pi inting office in the world. Here are struck from these plates the notes which we give the butcher and the baker. Each steel plate when not in actual use is stored away in a great burglar proof vault to which only the highest officials know the combination. At the side of each printing press is a little indicator like a bicycle cyzlome ter, which keeps tally of every piece of paper money printed. Thus is Uncle Sam kept informed as to the exact number of paper notes of all denomi nations which leave his presses daily. If there is any secret which Uncle Sam jealously guards, it is the process of manufacturing the fiber paper upon which his money notes are printed. He pays a Massachusetts firm a big price for it, and this firm does its work under the surveillance of a govern ment agent. The paper is manufac tured of the finest rags, cleaned, boiled and mashed into pulp. As it is rolled Into thin sheets silk threads are intro duced into it by a secret rrocess. These are the distinguishing marks making imitation of the paper well nigh impossible. The sheets of paper, already counted vtwice and placed in uniform packages at the paper mill, are stored in a treas ury vault and issued to the bureau of engraving and printing as wanted. Be fore leaving the treasury they are counted three times more, and the re ceiving official at the bureau must re ceipt for them. Then the bundles are unwrapped, and the sheets are counted twenty-eight times by a corps of wo men. This is to insure that each print er gets the recorded number-no more, no less. Before any employee of the division in which this paper is kept can leave for home each night he must ex hibit to a watchman at the door a pass certifying that every fragment of every sheet passing through his fingers has been accounted for. If one sheet of this precious paper be lost, the entire force, of men and wo men having access to the room where the misplacement has occurred are kept in, like so many school children, to find it. Each sheet is issued from the vault for the printing of a definite amount of money upon it. If the lost sheet were intended to ultimately rep resent $4,000 worth of notes, the group of employees to whom the responsibil ity of its misplacement has been traced must make good that amount if they cannot locate- it within a reasonable time. Twenty-four times more are the sheets containing the printed money counted after leaving the presses. Then they are scaled in packages of 1,000, placed on racks in a drying room of 130 degrees temperature, unpacked, thoroughly examined, smoothed in powerful hydraulic presses and packed in wooden cases. These cases are haul ed to the treasury in an ironclad wag on. Six guards, heavily armed, accom pany this wagon whenever it makes a trip. No attempt to steal Uncle Sam's mon ey while undergoing any of these stages of manufacture has yet been detected. As a matter of fact, the money wvou'. be practically useless, for its printing is not complleted until after it makes this guarded journey to the treasury. There the finishing touch is added in the printing of the .colored seal upon the face of each note. With the six sealing presses the same precautions are taken as with the two hunidred and fifty big money presses in :he other building. Each sheet comning from the former has a row of notes printed upon it. The sheets are put through small machines, operated by girls, who cut out the individual notes. Even the small strips, falling like sbavings from their machines, must be carefully col lected, sent to the bureau of .engraving and printing and there boiled into pulp. An employee found with even one of these ribbons of waste paper is liable to imprisonment for fifteen years and a fine of $5,000. Between these different processes the paper money has been counted and re counted six additional times. Finally the single notes are placed in stacks of 100, with all of the blue num'.ers print ed on their faces in sequence. They are then wvralpped in pape', labeled, sealed with red wax and stored in the great treasury vaults. Thus each piece of paper money now in circulation has been otlicially counted sixty-three times. In our mints the system ctf account ing for the blank metal out of which the finished-toins are stamped, of keep ing tally on the coining machines' wvork, of counting the finished product, of packing it. of sealing it in cloth bags, of transporting it under guard, of counting it many times again and final ly of storing it away is practically the same. There Is not a day in the year when any one of the seven great treasury vaults does not contain in coin, bullion, notes, certificates or bonds sufficient to make you or me one of the richest of the world's multimillionaires. The most egpacious of these strong boxes are Ila the basement of the treasury. A large guard of men-mostly old soldiers, commanded by a captain and lieutenant -watches themi day and night. These guardians are heavily armned, and they patrol their beats every qnarter hour throughout the night.-Saturday Even ing Post. No Excuse This Time. "It was a newv gun, your honor," pro tested the prisoner, "and I did not know it was loaided." "But," argued the judge, '"the dealer has just told us that yo did not pay for the weapon." "What has that to do with it?" "Well, if you didn't pay for it the dealer must have oharged it for you." And the judge tried to look as much like the pictures of Solomon as he could.-Baltimore American. Wrong sresnmption.

One of the inost remarkable instances of the escape of a white man from the Indians was that of John Colter. a fa nious hunter and traper. On the cday in question he and his coimflnion wem v surrounded by G00 savage warriors. The companion was instantly killed. and Colter was captured. His f(eevs hand no intention of saving his life. how ever. They wanted the sport of l)ut ting him to the torture or at least of playing with him as a cat plays with a mouse. The chief asked him if he could run. le said, "Not much." He was released and told to save his life if he could. Colter darted away at high speed, and most of the 00 savages set off aft er him. There was a plain before him six miles wide. bounded on the far side by a river fringed with trees. Coiter had always been famous as a runner, and his practice now stood him in good stead. Ie made straight across the plain for the stream. and the yells of his pursuers lent him wings. His foes had removed every shred of clothing from his body. and the plain was cov ered with pricily pears. -o that his un protected feet were lacerated at every stride. Half way across the plain he glanced back and saw that only a few Indians were following hi:n. Again he ran on and soon realized that one of his pur suers was nearing him. le redoubled his efforts. and blood gushed from his nostrils and flowed down over his breast. The fringe of trees was near, but a hasty, backward loo!; showed him the pursuing brave close upon him with spear raised. Moved by a sudden im pulse. Coiter stopped, turned and faced the savage with outstretched arms. The Indian was so taken aback at this unexpected movement that he stumbled and felli This was Colter's opportunity. He ran back, seized the spear and, pinning his antagonist to the ground, ran on. Other savages came on. liercer than before at the death of their comrade, but Colter reached the trees, plunged Into their midst and then into the river and swam to a pile of driftwood that had lodged. He dived beneath it and stuck his head up between two logs covered with smaller timbers and brush. The Indians came up and searched for severa! hours. but failed to find him. Again and again they walked over the driftwood. Luckily they did not fire it, as he feared they would. At.last they went away. Then Colter swam out and fled through the forest. Seven days be went on. living on roots and berries, with no clothing, un til at last he reached a trading post on the Bighorn river. He never fully re covered from the effects of this terrible experience.--Youth's Companion. A QUEER BUSINESS. Making Ur Beggars So That They Will Excite Public Sympathy. "How beggars are made" might be made the subject of a singularly inter esting artic.e. And it would refer not to the unkind cuts of fortune, but to the applianaes whereby a certain deft and none too scrupulous manufacturer equips men and women who, for pur poses of their own, wish to be consid ered lame, halt or blind. That it is easier to be grippled than to work is the maxim upon which this particular trade is establi-shed. "I'm what is called a street 'sham fakir,'" said one of these dealers in disguises recently. "I fake up most of the sham disabled mill operatives, crip pled sailors, etc.. and charge 'em a small fee-. If it's az woman with a tale that her husband beats her.

SPRINKLING SINGAPORE. The Solemn Procession That Accom panies the Watering Cart. Poultney Bigelow In his description of the manrv-elous progreezs made by the -ity of Singapore under En~glish rule gave a quaint picoture of the manner in which thle streets are wvatered: The watering cart was drawn by lit tle white bullocks andl dr-iven by Ma lays with turbans. It seemed to take five Malays to do this driving. One roosted aloft 0on top of the barrel for the purpose of contr-olling the outgo of water. lie seemled ver-y Lproud of his appointment. Another native in a big turban roosted on the pole and con trolled the little cattle. Then there was a man in thin brown legs and much turban who walked soi emnly behind enjoyinag a footbath. He was obviously a governm~ient function ary, although his exact sphere of use fulness Icould not discover. HeI ap peared to be' somiethling in the nature of a rear guard. Then there was a "-Foreloper," or ad vance guard, for the purpose of clear ing the way. There appea';red to be an Idea that thle little bullocks might suid denly go mad and rush ahead. At any rate, it gave congenial emuploygient to one more native, and that wa some thing. There wa-:s yet another, who bent down now and thlen to pick up a piece of stone or brush away some irregular ity unseen by ordinary eyes. This outfit was :a treat to me. It was solemn; it was full of self conscious ness; It was magificently oriental. I have seen men in subllime moments; I have seen the recd capped station mas ter of Gernany strut up and down his platform wxhenl an impher-ial tralin was about to arrive. but even that impress ed me less than the watering cart of Singapore. with its muniipal hier-archy of Malay ministers, each earning per haps 2 cents a day. Great Britain imports one-third of her food. DIAMOND BACK TERRAPIN. Formerly Despised. They Are Now Considered a Delicacy. Half a century or so ago diamond back terrapin were fed to slaves and hogs.

The 'liner regales himself on what he believes to be Maryland's choIcest dish. Instead he is merely eating fresh water turtles, "sliders" or "North Carolina goldens." - The reason is simple. Restaurateurs don't serve real diamond backs be cause they can't get them. The world's total terrapin population does not ex ceed 25.000 of legal size, and these are confined to the shores of the Chesa peake bay, the only place that produces them. Baltimore, Philadelphia and NeW York enjoy a monopoly. These three cities get practically the entge output. but few ever find their way neross the Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate enough to be born in Chicago or St. Louis must either come east or forego the joys of terrapin. To select a real diamond back ama teurs should be guided by these distin guishing and characteristic markings: It is of a greenish. dark olive color, sometimes running to spotted gray, yellow on the plate which surrounds the shell and has concentric dark stripes along the plate on both shells. The sides of the head are a dirty white, sprinkled with small black spots. The bottom sliell is of whitish yellow. The males are much larger than the females and ha ve thi concentric streaks much better defined. The temale has the more delicate flesh. The male can I be distinguished by his toe nails, which are much longer than those of the fe male. PICKINGS FROM FICTION. If you would have a noble son, be a noble father.-"144 New Epigrams."

At the proper time the big one disappeared, leaving the little one surrounded by sympathetic onlookers. Several per sons, pitying the "poor little fellow," gave him nickels and pennies. The sequel showed that the "poor lit te fellow" was in league with his sup posed tormentor. No sooner had the crowd dispersed than the big boy came along for his divvy.
