About two years ago it was estimatoJ

with the interest on it at fivo per cent,
will in about twenty-fivo years amount to
nearly $1,000,000,000 but its other profits
will round it out to that sum perhaps iu
ten or a dozen years. It is altogether

Zenas Crane, of Dalton, Mass., who

any of its customers, aud tho result is
that English money is always crisp,clean
and fresh. The United States receive)
greenbacks and National bank notes and
pays thein out again, no matter how
filthy they may be, except, of course,
currency thais too badly worn for re

a loss to the people, and the Govern

hold to be a wrong policy."

INDEPENDENCE DAY IN FAIRY.
LAND.
The wee mid-summer fairies who dwell In
wood and meadow,
Although they be but tiny folk are pa
triotic too;
Bo when they heard the children say the
"glorious Fourth" was coming,
They met in solemn conference to see what
they could do.
But fireworks and powder, torpedoes, rockets,
crackers,
Are not for sale in fairyland, as you per
haps might dream;
At first the case seemed hopeless, but, after
weighty thinking,
Like clever elve-Amorlcans they hit upon
a scheme.
First, beneath the branches tuny unfurled a
splendid banner,
Whose stripes were crimson salvia wttb
daisies laid between,
forget-me-nots and blue-bells made all one
corner azure,
With stars of golden butter-cups, the
largest ever seen.
For crackers and torpedoes they snapped the
empty pods,
While pu(T-balls did their littlo best to
smoke with all their might,
And the olilu fete was ended with shooting
stars for rockets.
While Roman-candle fireflies lit all the
summer night.

A TOLLMAN CAR WOOIKfi.
CENE: Easter n
bound Pullman car
at the Oakland
mole.
Time, 3:30 p. m.
Enter elderly
gentleman, curry
ing small valise and
large hamper. Fol
lowing him two
ladies, evidently
mother and daugh
ter. Daughter iu
dark blue traveling
costume, with largo
bunch of violets
pinned to front of
her jacket, is a
pretty, slender girl,
of about nineteen. Bothlnden with flow
ers, books, and numerous small parcels,
which they deposit in section nearest
middle of car. Tho following conversa
tion ensues;
"Gladys, dear, I am really worried
over your taking this trip alone. Had
you not better wait a day or so, to see if
we can hunt some one up to accompany
you?"
"Ob, no indeed, papa. It was unfor
tunate that Mr. Wilson was taken ill so
suddenly this morning, so that Mrs. Wil
son could not go with mo this afternoon,
but you see I'll have to start to-day to
reach Omaha In time for Clara's wed
ding, especially as I'm to be bridesmaid.
You and mamma must not worry, for I
shall get along all right alono."
In the meantime other passengers come
in and find their respective sections. The
engine toots warningly. A few more
kissts and hurried instructions, and papa
and mamma are gone. The train moves
off slowly at first, then with increased
speed carries her further and further
from the two worried souls she bad just
left.
Gladys felt a little bit frightened attho
prospect of this, her first long journey
alone, and kept her lace turned toward
tho fast-flying but unnoticed landscape,
for the blue eyes behind the long veil
wcro blurred with tears.
Her thoughts flew back to her parents,
now on the way to their home in San
Francisco. She knew how much they
would miss her the only child though
she was going to stay only a few weeks
with her Omaha frionds. She thought,
too, of some one else who well, some
one who was also left in San Francisco,
Finally, turning to inspect her fellcw
travellers, she thought the few men aud
two fussy old ladies looked very unin
teresting. Thrown carelessly in the sec
tion opposite was a valiso and a man's
ulster, but the owner was net visible.
She then turned her attention to tho
books, candy and flowers packed up iu
front of her. She read, smiled over, aud
tucked away in her handbag tho cards
and tiny sealed notes hidden in the candy
boxes or attached to the bouquets.
Time passed, and with a restless little
yawn. Gladys glanced at her watch and
found it after 6. The porter just then
anuounced that a stop will be inado now
at Sacramento for dinner.
Gladys thought of the bother of un
packing the neatly-strapped hamper for
just one meal, disliked the idea of going
out at the station alono, then decided to
dine on candy, ns she was not very
hungry.
At the moment a familiar form came
up the aisle, and in a second a tall, hand
some young man was standing near with
outstretched hand. A gleam of amuse
ment was in his dark eyes as he quietly
said. "How do you do, Gladys?"
A delicate pink colored her cheeks as
she shook hands and answored him with
a surprised aud rather cool. "Why,
Jack, where did jou come Irom?"
"From the smoking-room where I've
been for the last three hours, ever since
I came in aud found you so wrapped up
in the scenery you did not see me," he
replied, moving some books away and
sitting beside her in the most matter-of-course
way.
"Where are you going, Juckt"
"To Omaha, Gladjs."
"What for?" asked she, suspiciously.
"Partly business partly pleasure.
Business, to take care of you; pleasure,
to be with you," he auswered, concisely.
'Now, Jack, you know thkt is very
foolish, after"
"Last night, when you refused ine
again. Yes, I know; but you see I can't
help being foolish. Was born So, I
guetss," said Jack, resignedly.
v Dead silence followed this for a about
t4o minutes. She looked steadily out
ofthe window, while he gazel absently
at e ball head of a man a low teats iu
from
Then ho broke tho silenco by leaning
toward her, and saying, in a very soft
and persuasive tone: -'Gladys, won't
you reconsider what you said last
night?"
Looking around nervously to see if
anyone could hear, she auswerod: "No,
Jack please don't go over that again,
for it won't do one bit of good."
lie looked disappointed ; then nicking
up her jacket said : "Well, we are almost
at Sacramento. Come, let us go out to
dinner."
Gladys rose quickly, glad that she did
not have to dine on caudy, after all ;
and while holping her with her coat
Jack casually remarked:
"You havolots of flowers."
"Yes, and theso lovely violets they
came this morning with no card nt
tached ; but I think I can thank you for
them," looking up brightly at him.
A tender look came into his eyes as
ho said, "les, I sent thorn, and I'm
much obliged to you for wearing them."
"Oh," said Gladays, rather coollv,
"I had no preference. They mutchod
ray dress so well that is why I wore
them."
"Yos, I see," assented ho as coolly.
"Those cream roses would not look
well with it at nil. for instance."
Poor little violets that lost remark
caused their dethronement, for the girl,
witn a Mush, nastily and angrily detached
them, saying, "Comoto think of it, the
roses would bo far more effective, and
pinned a few of the long-stemmed
beauties in their place.
Just as quickly Jack replaced the few
violets he had worn in his coat with a
rosebud that she had dropped, saying,
"Mine are withered, ttio."
Gladys looked annoyed, but said noth
ing, and in five minutes they were hur
riedly eating dinner at the station res
taurant.
Afterward Jack amused and enter
tained her till the early bedtimo, ntd sho
slept soundly that night, feeling safe
with a inond so near.
Carefully looking from behind her
curtulns the next morning, Gladys saw
that tho opposite section had been
changed from "two.beds to two seats"
again, but Jack was not visible. ITalf
an hour found her dressed, waiting for
him to appear, as she intonded asking
him to breakfast out ot tho well stocked
hamper.
Presently he came in, and after a very
slight hesitation, sailingly accepted her
invitation. lie helped her unpack tho
hamper and set the table in her section,
and in a perfect gale of fun they began
their morning meal sitting opposite.
"This is fun, isn't it?" says Gladys,
spearing for a sardine with a corkscrew,
for Jack, as company, was honored with
the only fork.
"Immense I" he assented, so emphat
ically that she laughed gleefully.
Emboldened bv this, Jack, in the act
of carrying a piece of cold chicken to
his mouth, leaned over and lewering
his voice and fork at the same time said
coaxiugly, "Let's breakfast together ul
ways shall we, Gladys?"
She smiled in spite of herself at his
tone and manner, even while a dainty
frown slightly marred her pretty fore
head, and she answered briefly and em
phatieally: "Couldn't think of such a
thing. Don t be silly, Jack."
"Ob, you cruel little girl!" said Jack,
dramatically, as he straightened up and
proceeded to eat the morsel on his fork.
Their merry little meal over, the rost
of tho day passed in the usual routine of
a Pullman car. Jack was all devotion
from first to lust. Heading, talking and
eating, with hasty little promenades
when there was any opportunity, was
the order of the day.
Gladys acknowledged to herself, after
bidding him good-night, that Jack was
a very pleasant companion but she did
not want to marry him; no, indoed.
Jack Ilollis had known and loved
Gladys Preston since ho was a boy of
nineteen aud sho a little girl of four
teen, lie had proposed aud been de
clined several times, but knowing. thut
she did not dislike him and believing
that "everything comes to tho man who
waits," he was waiting, and in the
meantime wooing to the best of his
ability.
Ho was very much afraid sho would
meet somo other man during her visit
who would full iu love with her aud win
her; hence his deep laid schmo to travel
to Omaha with her. As for Gludys,
after her first surprise at seeing him on
board, she was so used to his never fail
ing devction that she took his coming
with he. as a matter of course. It wus
just like Jack, sho thought.
The second morning Gladys arose with
a severe headache. With that and a
wretched night's sleep, she was worn out
and cross undeniably so. She snubbed
poor Jack, who was all sympathy ; re
fused the cup of tea he brought her
whon they changed cars nt Ogden, and
when the journey began again lay back
on tho pillows he fixed in the seut for
her, and would have nothing to say to
him.
All day she suffered intensely, feigning
sleep most of the time to avoid being
fussed over by tho sympathetic old
ladies.
How Jack longed to take tho golden
brown head in his arms, and stroko the
throbbing temples! Toward evening,
when the rest of the passengers were out
at diuner, he asked her, with a passion
ate tremor in his voice, to givo him the
light to do so.
Sho was trying to swallow the tea he
had again brought in to her. Pushing
it away, she said angrily:
"Jack, you bother mo to death.
Don't ever mention that subject to me
again, for I will not marry you. Go
away and do not speak to me at all."
Then the aching head dropped wearily
back ou the pillow.
Jack paled, took the half emptied cup,
and walked silently out of the car. That
was the last she saw of him thut night.
Site bad her berth made up curly, and,
utterly exhausted, soon fell iuto a re
freshing sleep, from which she awoke in
the night with her headache gone.
Her first thought was of Juck, aud hor
eyes opened wide with sliuuiu us she re
membered her rudonc9s to tho man who
had always been so kind to her. She
recalled tho pained, set look as he had
turned away the evening before, and re
solved to ask his pardon tho first thing
in the morning, when, of course, he
would forgive her, and they would be
good friends again.
Morning found Gladys herself again,
sweet and protty as ever; but no Jack to
be seen. Ho had not come in to take
breakfast with her, as sho expected, so
she decided he must havo eaten at the
station which had been passed early, be
fore she was up.
After lonely littlo breakfast by her
self, she Bottled down comfortably with
a book to read and wait for him to come
and make up.
- The hours passed however, and still
no Jack. His traps were still opposite,
so he must still be on the train, probably
in the smoking room, where the other
men spent most of their time. She be
gan to grow very indignant at his ne
glect. "To be sure,'I told him never to speak
to me again, but he knew I did not mean
it," soliloquized Gladys; then tossed
her head and vowed she didn't care what
ho did.
At lunch timo she saw him disappear
in the eating room without so much as
a look even in her direction. Shortly
after the train moved ho sauntered care
lessly into his section. Meeting her
wondering eyes, ho gravely bowed, then
taking a book he was to all intents soon
absorbed in in its contents.
Her heart seemed to sink a few Inches
as she fully realized that be had taken
her hasty words literally and did not in
tend speaking to her. But pride came
to her rescue, and she was apparently as
much interested in her work as he was
in his.
Tho afternoon rolled on, and still they
read, never glancing at each other. At
the train drew up at the dinner station
he threw down his book, and without a
word to the girl across the aisle, went
out talking and laughing with one of
the men.
Gladys, who had not left the car that
day, timidly asked the old ladies if she
could go out to dinner with them, and
was promptly taken under thoir wing.
After dinner Jack stayed in the smoking
room playing cards.
Then, as the shadows darkened so
that she could not see to read, Gladys's
Bplrits fell to lowest ebb. Turning to
the window, but seeing nothing of the
fast-darkening landscape, she gazed
steadily out with fast filling eyes. She
realized and confessed then to herself
how much she bad missed Jack all day.
On tho train flew into the darkness.
The car lamps were lit and berths were
being made up all around her. More
and mote lonely and low-spirited she
grew. To-morrow morning would bring
them to Omaha, where hor friends
would meet her. She would go one
way, Jack another, and he would never
speak to her again. The last thought
was too much for her, and by this time
she was crying softly but bitterly in the
corner, with her face still turned to the
window.
Ah, Jack, deliberately staying away all
day from wilful little Gladys was a dip
lomatic stroke .of yours!
Suddenly some one lcanod over her
and said softly; "Why, Gladys, home
sick already?"
Startled, she turned quickly, and with
a joyful little catch of her breath dashed
her handkerchief over hor eyes and an
swered shyly, "No, Jack, only lonesome,
and I I'm sorry I was so rude yester
day."
He sat down, screening her from any
prying eyes, and said very low,"Gladys,
darling, were you crying because
I've been such an unmanly beast to-day?"
Ibe pretty bead dropped lower but
no answer. Jack glanced around; no
one was looking. Taking her hand, ho
said: "Gladys, once more I ask you to
be my wife. If you say no I shall
never trouble you again, but shall take
tho first train home from Omuha to-morrow,
a disappointed man. Which is it,
dear, yes or no."
btill no answer.
"Suy yes, dearest," pleaded Jack, with
his lips dangerously near the fluffy bang.
An almost imperceptible nod was all
the answer bo got, but it seemed to sat
isfy him. Gently raising her head, he
stole a kiss, just in time to escape tho
porter s inquistive eyes as he came up,
blandly asking the young lady if she was
ready to have her berth made up.
jiiusmng luriously, the young lady
said she was ready; so pressing her hand
warmly, Jack whispered, "Good night,
love," and loft her, well satisfied with
the result of his journey. Overland

Wonderful Insect Vitality.
Jt is a standing puzzle to the entomo
logists how frail little insects of the mos
quito and butterfly order can brave the
cold of au Arctic winter and yet retain
their vitality. The larva; of the milk
weed butterfly has been exposed to an
artificial blast sixty-eight degrees below
zero. Token out of range of this arti
ficial blizzard and gradually ''thawed
out" this same worm was able to creep iu
less than a halt an hour afterwards. But
terflies have been found flitting joyously

ever penetrated, and tho mosquitoes of
Alaska and Greenland are known to be
the healthiest specimens of that race of

Taste and False Teeth.
It does not seem that tho presence of
fulse teeth iu the mouth would affect tho
seuse of taste, but some persons who
have used them say that their power is
greatly impaired by their preseuee; that
they cannot taste half as well as they
could before they began the use of the
lates. It is reasonable thut it should
be so, for the false pulate covers the
roof of the mouth, and thus deprives the
user ol a great ileal of his tasting sur
face. At least one-half the tasting is
done with the palate, aud whou this is
covered it stands to reasnu that tho
fatuity of taste must bo materially Jm- 1

the doctor drilled out the cavity and
filled in the gold. Tho dog stood it like
a major, and looked up gratefully wheu
tho work wus finished.
While nt the Bonner farm, somo timo
ago, Veterinary Surgeon Ralph Oglo, of
this city, was told of a horse on a neigh
boring farm which refused to cat. The
most tempting food had been offered
the snimiul, but it had persistently de
clined to accept even tho least morsel of
it. The doctor, who is a veteran in his
profession, examined the horse and found
growing alongside its jawbone eight pro
tuberances which were the sizo of wal
nuts and were as hard as bone. With
the knife and forceps now used in im
proved dental veterinary practice, he op
erated ou the horse's jaw and succeeded
iu taking out five of tho protuberances.
Very soon after this the animal begun to
cut, and is now doing well.
Great improvement has been made in
the medical aud surgical treatment of
the horse in the past few years. Tho
treatment is more scientific in every re
spect. The veterinary surgeon nowadays
must possess a thorough education, ond
be posted in as many branches as a
physician. His calling requires him to
bo particularly sensitive Bnd alert; for
he is treating a dumb animal, whoso
manifestations of pain aro difficult to
rnako out. The result of all this is that
the sick or injured horso gets nearly as
careful and minute treatment as tho sick
or hijured man.
Fractured bones ore often reset, and
even amputntion has been performed for
special purposes. Let the horse injure
its leg or foot, and the member is done
up iu a sliug as tenderly and carefully
ns though it belonged to a human being.
A bay mure that had been used in horso
power, while working iu the machine,
cauj ht her right hind foot in ono of tho
logs with such force as to stop tho ma
chine and seriously injure tho foot. In
a short time tho ummul could hardly put
her foot to tho ground, and when the
doctor was called in she was suffering in
tense pain. An operation was performed,
and the injured leg, as well as the ani
mal herself, was put in slings, and for
days the foot was dressed daily. Just
two months from the date of operation
the wouud was cutirly closed.
Horses in these days must have their
quinine ns well us human beings. Tho
biggest dose of quinine ever given to a
hor.-e was in a case of pneumonia. Tho
doctor prescribed the culinary do9e, ono
drachm. By mistake nu ounce of the
drug was added to this and given to tho
tuimal at 10 a. m. At 7 in m., when tho
doctor culled, the horse Was prespinug
freely, had a full pulse and its temper
ature had fallen from 104 to 101 de
grees. Tho same dose was ordered
given, and was curried out before the
mistake was discovered. The doctor, in
telling tho experience, added-' "I vis
ited the horse ubout H o'clock the follow
ing morning, and was met by a whinny
ing welcome, to which I at once re
spoued by giving a small feed of oats,
which wus soon put out of tho way. I
found the pulse not so full, body quite
dry, but the temperature was back to
1U4 degrees. Hero wus a cuso where
two ounces of quinine- had beeu givou
inside of niue hours without any re
markable result."
A lnct not generally known is that
electricity is coining into extensive uso
in tho medical treatment of horses. It is
found of vulue in nervous affections, and
especiully iu discuses of the throat and
lurnyx. Sometimes regular shocks are
given two or three times a day, aud the
horso submits to tho galvuuio current
very rcudily.
Tho vetcriuary surgeon of these days
finds that the horse is subject to con
sumption, rheumatism, sciuticu, and, in
fact, nearly ull diseases incident to hu
man beings even hydrophobia. New

An Electrical Shampoo.
Iu Devonshire, Engluud, one day re
cently, a purty of young people were
overtaken by a heavy shower ot hail
stones, which lusted about ten minutes,
end during thut time they felt as though
highly charged with electricity. "The
ladies of the purty," says a correspondent
"felt us though ants were running among
their hair, which wus fastened up with
steel hairpins. Ono of the gentlemen
held his bunds to the head of one of the
others and at ouce the hair stood on cud.
This wus done several times with the
suu.e result, und for two or three days
afterward their heads felt tho effects of
the electrical whipping. This singular
matter is much tulkcdof iu Devonshire."
