WORLD'S BANKNOTES. Shape, Size and Color of Paper Money of the Nations. The ouly paper money that is accept. ed practically all over the globe is not “money” at all. but the notes of the Bank of England These notes are simply printed in black ink on Irish linen water lined paper, plain white, with ragged edges. The badly soiled or worn Bank note is rarely seen is that in any way find their way bank are immediately ca new ones are issued. The Banque de France are made f ii tai the bills of the United States, except that cinnamon brown and slate blue are the prevailing colors. German cur- rency is printed in green and black, the notes being in denominations of from 5 to 1.000 marks. The 1,000 mark bills are printed on silk fiber paper. It takes an expert or a native to dis- tinguish a Chinese bill from a laundry ticket If the bill is of low denomina- tion or a firecracker label If for a large amount. the print being in red on white or yellow on red, with much gilt and gorgeous devices. Itallan notes are all sizes, shapes and colors. The smallest bills, 5 and 10 lire, are print: ed on white paper in pink. biue and carmine inks. The most striking paper currency in the world is the 100 ruble note of Rus- sia, which is barred from top to bot- tom with all the colors of the rainbow blended as when a sun ray passes through a prism. In the center in bold relief is a finely executed vignette in black. The remainder of the engrav- ing on the note is in dark and light brown ink.

The Mirage and the Mock Sun of the Arctic Regions. In the spring of 1000 1 changed over to the steamer Corwin and salled for the Arctic ocean to establish a trading station somewhere on the northern shores of Alaska. Although we went on a purely commercial ven- ture, there was an good deal of talk about the pole during the seven months we spent in the aimost continuous sun- light. Dr. Cook relates instances of seeing mirages above the ice fields—mountains passing io solemn review and some- times inverted and standing on their peaks—but he goes on to say that there were no forms of life. Mirage is a common sight even In lower latitudes than those mentioned by Dr. Cook. 1 have seen the spires and domes of well defined buildings. whole cities, in fact, appear above the horizon, sometimes lingering for several minutes, or, again, with their towers reaching up higher and higher, attenuating apparentiz to a mere thread. The “mock sun” is a common phenomenon in the Bering sea. On the evening of June 2, 1900, perhaps 100 miles south of St. Law- rence island, about 9:30 o'clock and past sunset, the sun was visible as though half an hour high, but appear: ing as a much flattened oval. Then another sun more nearly round emerg- ed from the horizon beneath the “goose egg.” rising quite rapidly until it blended with the descending orb. Thereupon, instead of settling below the horizon, the light was quickly dis. sipated in the air. This phenomenon was probably due to the unequal den. sity of several superimposed stratas of air producing refraction of the sun's rays from below the horizon.—Captain Edwin Cofiin of Ziegler Polar Expedi- tion in National Magazine. Parental Severity. The children of two centuries ago fell on stern times, if one may believe that the spirit of family life was ac- curately expressed by an excellent mother of that day who said, without humorous intent, that her children “loved her as sinners dread death.” There is little doubt that parental con- trol at that date was as rigorous as this anecdote indicates. It Is said that when little Andrew Elliot, afterward lieutenant governor of New York, ob- jected to boiled mutton his father, Sir Gilbert Elliot, frowned. “Let Mr. Andrew have boiled maut- ton for breakfast,” commanded the stern parent, “cold mutton for dinner and cold mutton for supper till he has learned to like it.”—Youth's Compan- fon. - A Bushel of Cents. It beats all what odd yuestions reach some of the departinents of govern- ment in Washington. Not long ago the treasury received a letter from a man who bad made a bet asking “How many cents are there in a bushel?” The answer was not easy.to offer. If the man had asked about pounds he might have received a definite answer. As it was, he got in reply a 8 from a clerk that “roughly there is some- thing like $320, of 32,000 pennfes.” Stove Lifts i Hosa d Customer—Do you keep stove lifters in here? ie Bi dia 1TH fein Grocer's Clerk—Not ‘the {ron ones, madam.

Oue of I’, 1, ful feats of bambooziement was played upon the Cavadiap customs authori- to take his great circus erie through Canada mer after the pext. about two years in wi bis plans, One important item of a sho expenses consists of placards, and Mr. Barnum was always lavish with these gaudy He was aware that the Canadian govern- went imposed a high duty on this class of imports, and yet he wanted to paint Canada red, yellow, blue and green with a lavishness that no show- man bad ever displayed in that coun- try before. Now, there was no printing house anywhere in Canada that could to turn out the kind of work that Mr. ow thorities would not abate one jot of the full toll, but would rather rejoice at the opportunity to mulct the foreign- er who would convey so much money out of a country, So Barnum studied the question awhile and finally sent on at once a great lot of circus posters of the most gorgeous designs whereon yellow lions and clawed striped tigers and brow: bears fought with blue hippopotamuses till gore flowed into beautiful crimson backgrounds. No agent appeared when the posters were detained by the Ca- nadian customs officers to pay the duty. They were accordingly held for twelve months, then duly advertised for sale for three months more and finally put up at auction with a lot of other unclaimed parcels and were des- ignated in the catalogue merely as “colored prints.” Nobody took any interest in them when the auctioneer called for a bid, and finally the whole batch was knock- ed down for a song to a secret agen’ of the circus who bad been sent up by Mr. Barnum for that express purpose. THE CROCODILE. Terror of the Stealth of the Cunning Brute's Approach. Oue of the reasons given by old writ- ers for the crocodile being worshiped in Egypt was the somewhat cryptic one that it “laid threescore eggs and lived for threescore years” but from twenty to thirty is the common num- ber of eggs found in a “clutch.” In the reptile's easy code of ethics, how- ever, its parental responsibilities end with the act of oviposition, for, hav- ing covered the eggs with a layer of sand. it leaves the sun to do the rest (whence doubtless Shakespeare's “your mud and the operation of your sun”) and leaves it also to the ichneumon to do its worst. In some places it seems that water tortoises, too, eat croco- diles’ eggs, but the ichneumon is the real desolator of crocodile homes, scratching up the nests and eating or breaking the entire “sitting” at a meal. Crocodiles’ eggs, however, are absurd- ly small, a mother twenty feet long being content with an egg no larger than that of a goose, and the newly hatched young, hardly more formida- ble than a common newt, are preyed: upon by birds, which a little later the rapidly growing crocodile would like nothing better than to get within its reach as well as doubtless by many other things, including old crocodiles themselves, The real horror of the members of the crocodile tribe lies in their usual noiselessness. “hey swim with great silence, making scarcely even a ripple on the water,” says M. du Chaillu, and the terror of the stealth of their ap- proach is well conveyed in Rudyard Kipling's “Rippie Song:" “Wait, ab. wait,” the ripple saith. “Maiden, wait, for 1 am Death!" —London Times. “The Fault of the Dutch.” It was to Sir Charles Bagot, minis- ter at The Hague, that Canning in the course of a tariff dispute with Falk, the Dutch premier, addressed his fa- mous dispatch in verse, which, as we have seen it wrongly quoted on sev- eral occasions, we venture to append: In mata of commerce the fault of the (4 Is giving too little and asking too much.

Turning to Secretary Welles * the navy department, the president ordered that no such inclosure as the sweatbox should ever after be allowed on any vessel fiying the American flag. It was not an hour after this order had been given before every sailor on every ship in Hampton Roads bad heard of it. The effect was most re- markable on the older sailors, many of whom had themselves experienced the punishment of the sweatbox. Some of them wept from joy. But the good results of this act of President Lincoln were not confined to the American navy. Great Britain, France, Germany and other European countries heard that the sweatbox had been abolished in America as inhuman. One and all of these nations in turn fell into line, and today the sweatbox is not to be found on any vessel flying the flag o fa civilized nation through- out the world. Highest Cross In the World. The highest cross in the world is said to be that which caps the loftiest peak of the Harz mountains. The cross is in reality a tower, and it com- mands a magnificent view of the coun- try around. The height of the tower is 120 feet, and it stands on a moun- tain 1.731 feet above the sea level. A stair of 200 steps leads to the top of the cross. but there is an elevator of which people may avail themselves who for any reason wish to avoid the long climb, An intelligent Cow. A few nights ago a citizen went home and found a cow in his yard. He drove her out. He then went into the house and later heard the animal in the yard again. He drove ber out the second and third times. The citi- zen's son came home later and found the animal in the yard and drove het out. The citizen then made an inves tigation and found the cow got in by wading around the fence on the river side. He hung up a lantern to deceive the cow as she came in, and the pext morning, so he says, he found the cow in the yard with the lantern hung on her horns, using the same to hunt out the best grapefruit in his grove. Say what you please, but that was an in- telligent cow. And the story is true— of course it is.—Fort Myer Press, {ASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the signature of Chas. H.
