DIMES GROWING SCARCE.
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. The only pill* that
are guaranteed to give satisfaction to everybody

ALLIANCE DISBANDS.
Once Powerful Organization, Now Extinct.
Pursuant to a call issued by State Secretary
J. B. Nesbitt, of the South Carolina
Farmers' Alliance, a meeting of that
organization Tvas held last night, there
being about 15 present. The alliance exchange
fund having been distributed according
to an order of the supreme court,
the members decided to formally disband,
thus ending an organization that
was at one time one of the most powerful
in the South.?Columbia Record.
, DECLINES SPECIAL TERM.
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.
Uncle Abe, a grizzled old negro, visited
a zoological garden. He stood fascinated
before a cage containing a chimpanzee,
and could not be induced to move. After
a while the animal came to*tbe front of
the cage, and Uncle Abe spoke to him.
"Howdy?" he said; "howdy?"
The chimpanzee, not making any response,
Uncle Abe chuckled and winked

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.

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

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.
