When I was a email boy, I saw something that I shall never forgot. It was at a circus. The clowns and some other employees ar ranged themselves in a circle. Let us say that there were 20 of them in all. No. 1 said to Ho. '1 owe you ti. I ll pay upas soon as 1 can. No. 2 made this statement to No. 8, No. 8 to No. 4. and so on around the circle, No. 20 say ing it to No. 1. No. 1 shoved his hands into his pockets ami witna iookoi pii-asea surprise pulled out a dollar. Turning to No. 2, he said: ''I didn't know that I had that dollar. Here' so much on account." No. 2 took the dollar. and with similar language passed It on to .No. 8, and so it went around the ring. No. 20 passed it to No. 1, who received it with a smile and started to out it into his pocket, but inBtead ho turned to No. 2 and said, "1 didn't expect Women, Who Have Won Renown on tbe Battlefield. History Bepeats Itself Tbe Female Vol unteer Corp Mot the Only Example of Feminine Soldiering Masque rade a Men. During the recent campaign In Mada gascar we heaxd a good deal about the Dahomey Amazons and their prowess in war; and a few months ago a daily paper asserted that a female volunteer corps was in the process of being formed, to be officered, of course, by some extreme disciples of the "New Woman" cult. In the latter instance the idea of a woman usurping man's place on the battlefield was looked upon as being something quite original; whereas it would simply be a case of history re peating itself, for that there have been many such heroines the following par ticulars will prove: Mrs. Christine Davies, commonly called "Mother Ross," is a well-known example, she having served as a foot soldier and dragoon in several campaigns under William III. and the duke of Marlborough, acting as a squadron leader of the Scots greys at Blenheim and Ramillies. She died July 9, 1739. Hannah Snell was another fe male worthy, who, having been deserted by her husband, adopted male attire, and traveled to Coventry in search of the runaway. She there enlisted in Col. Guise's regiment of foot, and marched with them to Carlisle at the time of the Scotch rebellion of 1745. She afterward enlisted in Fraser's regiment of ma rines, and proceeded to Portsmouth, whence she sailed in Admiral Bosca wen's squadron for the East Indies. There she assisted at the siege of to be able to pay you the balance so soon, but here it is." And so it went around the ring, finally coming back to No. 1, who with a sat isfled smile nut it into his Docket.

What Is that truth? It is this: Under proper conditions the working power of a dollar is beyond all Human computation. I was very much surprised to hear this aft ernoon a man so prominent as my menu rrom Tennessee Mr. McMillin speak as if money paid for taxes wus loxt to circulation. I have often heard men speak as if they thought that there must be as many dollars in existence as there are dollars' worth of business to be transacted. What would a farmer say to an agent for bushel baskets who should attempt to convince him that he needed as many bas kets as he expected to raise bushels of crop? The farmer would feel that his intelligence had been Insulted, and lustly so. Ue know that he can use the same basket over and over again, and the quantity measured in a given time will depend on the speed with which the one handling it works. And then, if properly used, It is ready to do as mucn more. Bo with tne yarusticK, tne pound weigni ana the dollar. Each can do an almost infinite amount of work if properly used. What are the conditions of highest ellfciency In money under what conditions can a given amount of money do the most work? Let us examine our illiiHtration. The dollar in the circas ring did the work of fortv dollars In five minutes and was lust as capable of accomplishing as much more in the succeeding nve minutes, nny wus tmsr Dim tdv beeause it moved oromntlv. Now let us examine the matter a little more closely. Why did it move so? Why was each one so prompt to puss the dollar on? Because mi ion irooa mas is. ne reic nonest. na xeii, that when he owed money and hud It In hi pocket the only proper thing for him to do was to pay up. moreover, euen nnp. cuiuiueiioe in the other. There was a feeling of respect end good win among tne men in mac ring 'ima is one oi tne communis nnuer wniui monev does Its work most effectively. What is the other condition? Why was each man willing to accept the dollar in payment of what wus coming to hiinr Hecause he knew that it wus a iiood dollar. He knew that when ever he wanted to use it. whether It mivht be that day or not Mr ten years, it would be just as good as when he accepted it. bliDixwo. on thu other band, that eacn or tne men bad a dollar in his Docket, but that thev distrusted each other, each fearing that If he lot no of the dollar that he had be might not soon get another, nitnougn money was aue him. and suppose that ei.ch was afraid to ac cept the money of the other, fearing that It mii'lit not be uood when be wanted to use it, that it would depreoiute on his hands what would be the result? Why, of course, each would keen ill his pocket what money he had, and cueh would continue to owe the other thut is, the money would accomplish nothing. Quality More Important Than Quantity. With good money and mutunl trust a dol liir did the work of 4(1, while with questionable money anddlxtrust 2U dollars could aoeompliHh nothing. In other words, the quality of money In lmmensuly mure important man Its quau tity. And, sir, a set of men who make It part or their plan to mulign human nnture and then offer u a doliased currency would not only deprive us of pnrt of the money that we now have, but they would paralyze the working luwiir of what remained. They are not only morally wrong, but financially unwise. They and their polley are alike condemned. They offer poor money and distrust. We offer abundant monev of the beat Quality and well founded confidence. 1 there any doubt a to which the Amertean neoulii will approve? To employ a ngure or spcecn, we contena that our ludy politic need both klnils of corpi ,-. ' I 'Jit 'V hi Its circulation tuseles, and that It need them both all of the time.

At the close of her military life, how ever, she revealed her secret, and was awarded a pension of 18 5s. per an num. Later on she started a public house under the eign of "The Widow in Masquerade," and did such a roaring trade that a comfortable old age was assured to her. " There is Mary Anne Talbot, a fine, comely young woman, to judge by an extant portrait, who served four years as a soldier and sailor in the name of John Taylor, and took part in Lord Howe's glorious victory on June 1. She died February 4, 1808, aged 30 years. One print represents her holding a cut lass in one hand, and a Frenchman's head in the other; another in which she Is representing a press gang. Coupled with the memory of Fontenoy, 1745, there is that of Phobe Hessel, whose monument in a Brighton churchyard 6 fates that she was born at Chelsea in 1713; that she served for many years as a private soldier in the Fifth regiment of foot in different parts of Europe, and received a bayonet wound in the arm at the above engagement. Living at Hrighton, her case became known to George IV., then princa regent, who sent to ask her what sum of money would render her comfortable. "Half a guinea a week," replied old Fhoebe, "will make me as happy as a princess." ThiB, therefore, by his majesty's com mand was regularly paid her till the day of her death, which took place De cember 13, 1821, when she attained th age of 108 years Again, there is Mary Dixon, who was nearly 16 years in the army, and fought at Waterloo. She was still living in 1865, when she was described as "a strong, powerful old woman." Above all, there is the remarkable, if not unique case of Dr. Harry, who died at Corfu in July, 1865. This lady, said to hav been the legit imate granddaughter of a Scotch earl, is surmised to have adopted male attire and the medical profession from attach' mcnt to an army surgeon. Never in her lifetime had anyone the slightest sua picion of her sex. While staff surgeon to the cape garrison, she most succ essfully treated the governor, Lord Charle Somerset, fought a duel, and waa considered to be of a most quarrel tome disposition. The doctor was fre- duently guilty of flagrant breaches of discipline, and on more than one occa sion was sent home under arrest, but somehow or other, the offenses were al ways condoned at headquarter. The late earl of Albemarle relatea in his reminiscrnses, that on fitting next to her at mess, he noticed "a certain ef feminacy in his manner, which he cemed to be always striving to over come, while his atyle of conversation was greatly superior to that one usually heard at a mesa-table in t he days of non competitive examinations." In Hart's Army List for 1865, the name of Jamea Perry, M. D., stands at the head of the list of inspectors general of hospitals In the July of the same year, her death was announced, and tbe next day it was ofllelally reported to the horse guards that the doctor waa a woman. It singular that neither the landlady of hrr lodging, nor the black valet, who had lived with hrr for years, had the iigueot notion of her aecret. Admiral ty and Horse Guard's Gazette. Deaf Mute' Ideas. The testimony of educated deaf mutes regarding some of their ideas be fore instruction is very interesting. Some fancied the wind was blown from the mouth of an unseen being. - A num ber supposed that rain and lightninir were caused by men in the sky pouring down water and firing guns. One who bad seen flour falling in a mill thought that snow was ground from a mill in, the sky. Some of the stars were can dles or lamps, lighted every evening by inhabitants of the heavens. Only one said she had "tried to think" about the origin of the world and its inhabitants. All had a great terror of death and be ing put in the grave; one had been haunted by fear that she might awake in the grave unable to call for help. One thought death was caused by med icine administered by the doctor. Deaf mutes have refused to go to bed when ill, from observing that sick persons have taken to their beda before death. Those who were taken to church by their parents said they had little idea before education of the purpose of this assembly. One testified: "I thought that the people were in the church to worship the clergyman of the greatefct dignity and splendor." N. Y. Times. When William Hunt. when tne uerman emperor goes hunting he arrays himself in such gor- geouaness that the game ought to be proud to fall before so magnificent a conqueror. His hunting costume waa designed by himself, and he is said to be so much taken with it that he omits no opportunity of wearing it. It consists of a bluish-gray tunic, with a short cloak of the same material, both garments having green facings and broad epaulettes. The emperor has around his waist a broad belt of green leather, from which hangs a huge hunting knife, the handle mounted with the imperial crown of cold. He wears very high lacquered boots, gold spurs and a Tyroleae hat of gray felt. dged with green and adorned with en enormous plume of feathers, which auiver at every step. Troy Times.
