SURVEILLANCE IN PARIS.
More curious than all its strange call

police system in Paris. When an Eng

probably to his wife. "Well, now, Mar

about what Mrs. Brown would say if
,we had met her at Brighton. Here
we are free, and nobody knows who we
jure or cares who we are." But before
he has time to dress for dinner the
police know that he is in Paris and his
name Is inscribed at the prefecture.

For all the time previous to 1862, when
emergencies of this character arose,
such as the war of 1812 and the Mexican
war, short-time bonds, running usually
for one year, called treasury notes,
. were issued. They were not bonds,
but they were treasury notes drawing

One of the least pleasant Incidents
for the Individual during war with
Spain would be to be taken prisoner.
Still, as Spain makes claim to civiliza
tion, it would not be so bad as though
she wer an absolutely barbarous coun
try. The useages of civilized nations
regarding captives toniorm In a Ren
eral way to thej-e principles und rules:
All members of an enemy nation are
enemies, though all are not treated
alike. The general rule obtains that
"no use of force against an enemy is
lawful unless it Is necessary to accom
plish the purposes of war," and the
practical application of it, refined thro"
centuries, has led to exempting many
classes from capture.
According to Wheaton, the custom
of nations exempts from capture the
persons of the sovereign and his fam
ily, officers of the civil government,
women and children, farmers, mechan
ics, artisans, laborers, men of science
and letters, and generally all those
engaged in ordinary civil pursuits, un
less actually taken In arms.
Count Bismarck even maintained in
1870 that the crews of merchant ves
sels could not be made prisoners. As
early as 1806 Mr. Madison contended
that a French decree that "every for
eigner found on board the vessels of
war or commerce of the enemy Is to
He treated as a prisoner of war." was
In contravention of the law of nations.
The Geneva or Red Cross convention,
to which the United States acceded,
but to which Spain has not. we be
lieve, given her assent, exempted hos
pital and ambulance attendants and
chaplains attached to hospitals and
ambulances from capture as prisoners.
By early custom soldiers, when taken
In war, were killed. They may be
killed today in case of absolute neces
sity for example, if prisoners Impede
the movements of an army necessary
to Its preservation. Later, captives
were made slaves. After that the cus
torn of holding them for ransom came
Into vogue. During the seventeenth
century exchanges of prisoners became
frequent, but exchanging prisoners is
not obligatory if the captors prefer to
hold for ransom or to leave their own
comrades In the enemy's hands.
Prisoners are frequently allowed to
return to their own country on prom
ise not to engage again in hostilities
against the captors.
Perhaps the world will some day ac
knowledge the nobility of the spy, but
it is doubtful If contending forces will
ever cease to hang or shoot him when
he is taken and convicted. Spying lacks
the moral element of crime, but it Is
Just as sternly necessary that people
be deterred by the great risk of death
from engaging in it.

Interest. You may ask how I make
that out.
HOW THE MONEY IS MADE.
A bank deposits 1100.000 of 3 per cent
bonds and receives from the United
States $10.000 of government money
You cannot levy that amount of tax
on 70.000.000 people without -causing uni

not pay as much internal revenue taxes
with the same ease as 20,000.000 in the
north could pay during the war, be
cause you have not Rot money to pay
it with. You will find it everywhere
in business. It will be a great annoy

An Idiot Who Is a Genius.
Jeptha Palmer Is an Idiot and a
genius. Although 50 years old, he has
to be cared for as if he were a child,
but he can make wonderful machinery,
construct musical instruments, play
upon them and compose music.
He lives near the village of Fair
mount, in the Georgia mountains. He
Is poor and helplessly Ignorant.
When he was a child he could not
ask properly for food or find his way
from the barn to the house. One day
a horsepower wheat thresher was
brought to his father's farm, and he
examined it closely. -
He announced his intention of mak
ing a thrasher himself and he did. He
completed a model of pine bark, with
strings for belts. He made a clock of
wood, with stone weights. He built
a pounaing mm, using a nammed-up
Spring to give the power. Musical in
struments he made and played upon
them with marvelous skill.
He has built an organ; he has com
pesed waltzes, marches and song mu

you a few more, as following:
