INDIA'S ACTIOS ABO THE 8HEKHAI LAW. Horace White, the=emiant-financial authority, who joins with Edward O. Leech, formerly Director ot the Mint, in diBCnaeing the
financial
situation in
the August Forum, gives cold oomfort to the bimetallism. Mr. White shows that while the dosing ot the Indian mints to silver has really acted beneficially, instead -of harmfully, as was predicted, the present scarcity of money in America is unrelieved by the surplus ot Europe solely on account of the silver scare. For the first time within his recollection, he declares the offer of high rates of interest in America has not attracted foreign capital and lie regards the repeal of the Sherman law as the only effective remedy for this abnormal condition.
Tim indictment of Colonel Ainswortfa
and the oilier men held responsible by the coroner's jury for the loss of many lives in the lord's Theatre disaster is the ret It of a careful and prolonged examination by the grand jury of the District of Columbia, and will insure that judicial inquiry into the case which is demanded both by justice and hu-m-mity. The fonr are charged with man slaughter, end will each be held in $10,000 bail. Whether Colonel AinBwori !i, pending his trial, will be per mil:cil ui retain his office as head of the Record and Pension Bureau is an interesting question. It is a matter wholly within the diecretion of the President and the Secretary of War.

laboring classes of France the coltineurs are particularly muscular, as they necessarily must be, their work being similar to that of our 'longshoremen. To test the strength and endurance of this class of men, a Parisian journal recently organized a novel race among them. Each man was required to carry
a sack of gravel and sawdust weighing 100 kilogrammes (-'JO pounds) and walk or run with it to Corbeil, a distance of twenty miles. l'en started in this race, leaving the Rue Foydeau in Pat-is at 8 o'clock in tho morning. The first to reach the goal was Jean Labasse, who covered the distance with his great load in fourteen isours, arriving at Corbeil at ten o'clock in the evening. This lusty youth, who is but twenty-four years of age,crested for the first time after traveling three-fourths of the distance, and but once afterward. The accompanying engraving shows the manner in which he carried his lovd.

Albany, Jan. 10, 1800.
I desire once more to bear my testimony to the value of Allcock's Porous Plasters I have used them for twenty-five years past, and can conscientious! yr commend them them as the best external remedy that 1 know. Years ago, when ttirown from a carriage and seriously injured, I gave them a thorough trial la a very short tune tho pain that I was suffering disappeared, and within a weelc I was entirely relieved. On another occasion, when tufToring from a severecough wlncb th-eatened pulmonary difficulties which I was recommended to go to Florida to relieve, I determined to test the plasters again. I applied them to my chest and between the shoulder blades and in less than a for: night was entirely cured. On still another occasion when suffering from an attack of rheumatism in the should er to such an extent that I could scaroely raise my arm, I again resorted to the plasters and within a very few days the rheumatism entirely disappeared. I have them constantly by me, whether at home or abroad. Mv family as well as myself have found them to be a sovereign remedy, both for external and internal troubles. I never had but one kidney difflc.ulty in my bfe and the application of the plasters cured mo in a week. 1 desire, as 1 said before, to bear my testimony iu a publio way to their efficacy, and I know of no better.way of doing it than by giving my personal experience."

SOME ODD NAMES.
Carious Specimens of Nomenclature Among' Pensioners.
Son* of Them Are Strongly 8ugge«tive af a Tendency to Lunacy on the Part ot the .Person* Who Suggested Them.
This is a big country and there Is big variety iu tho names its residents carry through life with them. No better opportunity to get an idea of the oddities in family and given names can be had than at one of tho treasury ^branches, where checks from all parts of the country come in, aud none of these offices get a wider range of novelties In nomenclature than the subtreasury in Cincinnati, says the Com-mercial-Gazette. The subtreasury does a tremendous business In pension checks, and some very curious indorsements appear upon the bits of paper, whioh, as a matter of fact, give more conclusive evidence than do tho majority of the other financial documents sent In that the ways of the
American chrlstenera'are past finding out. A collection of some of the curious names under which persons no doubt manage to lead respectable lives has to Include those of a good many Indians, but tho most novel of their titles are fully matched by some of the appellations of whites. The colored brother, too, Is no doubt responsible for his share of the queer names.
As to the pious antecedents of Christian Scripture there should be no doubt, and Christian Bible should be equally above reproach. John the Baptist Theophilus Ploof can do no less than live up to his name, while Anna Ketchabaptist may find in hers a reminder of some old family romance. Abel Cain has to thank Biblical sources evidently for the way he writes his autograph. Christian Is a favorite. There are Christian Canary and Christian Gall, while Christian Finger also figures in the list. Lizzie Barefoot, Charity Tom, Peter Menagerie. Clean Berry, Brazil Pepper, John Duck, Millie Drake, John Chicken, Rose Cardinal, Winter Green, John Roselip, Joseph Goodpasture, Bliza Stonecipher, Amelia A. Turnipseed, Sandy Beard, Bad Temper, Adam Apple and Pleasant Ladd offer examples of rather curious combinations. There are others which are still more unusual. Lone Liar, for instance, Is certainly an oddity. George Washington Ananias suggests an incongruity. So does Temperance Rumy, while Day Knight and August Blizzard are not far behind. Smith Corns, Lean Redman, C. W. Heavystride, Daniel Death, Henry Fivecoats Birdsong Crow, Henry Pancake and Fred Coldsnow are all names to attract attention on a signboard. Geography was evidently respected in the family of Tennessee Texas Bowman, while patriotism must have assisted in the selection of America Cannon, America
England and America Patrick. Adam Skunk would naturally ask to have his natne spoken with the accents in the right place. Welcome Homo, is a pleasing title, while there is something curious about the sound of Seneca Sly and ifctsy Bump. Ripus Uptheback should run no danger of having his mail delivered to somebody else. James Necessary, James Walklngstick, L.' W. Cash dollar, Peggy Way, Mary Tickle, Elizabeth Scalp, Hugh Hash, Simon Pure, Edward Daddysman, Diamond Stone, Peter Pence and John UnHold are certainly far from common names. Madison Square and Asbury Park should be well known and popular.
Ribbon in nigh' Favor.
Ribbon this season is used with the utmost-profusion. Many dancing toilets of diaphanous shot textile have the entire front and sides formed of lengthwise rows of ribbon, giving a striped effect to the fabric. The new opalesque ribbons are very suitable for the purpose. This sort of ribbon is useil for malting the pretty neck trimmings now used. The ribbon must be quite wide and the neck band is doubled to within half an inch of the upper edge. Beneath the chin the ribbon in its full width Ls made Into loops. There are three of these with ends falling right and left, they being nearly all of the same length. Very easily made are the ribbon braces combined with lace that may be worn over any simple bodice. The ribbon strand is formed into a very long V, which terminates in a series of loops and ends at the waist, with Empire bows on the shoulders. Cream white lace is jaboted very gracefully down the outside of the strand, terminating at the belt under the ribbunsj

THEIR LAST CHANCE.
Desperate Effort of Two Gambler* ta Get Away with the llank. In an up-town New York cafe a wellknown gambler was relating incidents of tho strength with which the gaming passion controlled some men. Faro, he contended, dominated gamblers more than any other game, and, though poker was equally fascinating, the chances of winning: largely in short time were too small at poker. "I have known men to go hungry a whole day rather than leave the faro table," he said, "and I have known men to pawn tho last thing they had to procure enough to tempt fortune at faro. But the worst cose, perhaps, I ever knew happened in Chicago. Two young fellows who had given up earning a living to become gamblers roomed together on La Salle street. Both had gone broke and had hung around the various houses, piking, raking oil sleepers and begging for
NO SOONER SJOl) THA2f JX»'E. stakes until the dealers agd regular players were thoroughly disgusted. The fellows were all right so farks food went, because the gambling houses set out sumptuous feeds. Mike McDonald provided a regular Delmonico dinner in the early afternoon, and after that Ilankins. Sam Dahl and.the rest put out spreads that would tempt an epicure. "The fellows could sleep until McDonald's free table d'hote was open and breakfast like lords. At eleven o'clock at night any of the other biggambling houses furnished them With dinner and supper combined. So you see there was no fear of starvation. They had to hustle though to pay room rent. They were generous to the landlady when they made a winning and therefore she didn't trouble them very much when the cards failed-to come their way. Well, as I was-saying, the fellows were broker-flat broke. They had pawned their overcoats, their shirts and everything that would bring enough to buy a white chip. All they had left was what they had on their backs. "One afternoon they were talking about their hard luck and wondering whom in all of Chicago they could touch for a stake. They had just risen and were dressing to go to Mike's three o'clock p. m. breakfast. One of them wore a suit of clothes that was nearly new and very natty. 'I say Joe,' he said, 'let's toss up to see who hocks his suit and pays the price.' No sooner-said than done. Neither had so much as a penny to buy a paper, but one produced an old coin he carried for luck. "Joe won the toss and the other fel low stripped. As he crawled back to bed (it was January, and Chicago ls as cold as the inside of an iceberg) Joe bundled up the clothes and left them with an uncle of his on South Clark street. He secured 84 on the layout and went straight to Pat Sheedy's place on Adams street. It was the whole hog or none, and he bought two stacks of whites. "lie lost!"
The listeners thought hard for a minute or two and looked at the story teller. "What did the other fellow do? asked some one. "lie stayed in bed for three weeks."
