Redeeming Morvey.o. There was received at the redemp tion division of the treasury recently an envelope containing a mass oi greenish paper, dried and hard, but showing evidence of having once been water-soaked. The letter accompany ing explained that the substance had once been money, and that it had been found among the debris left by the storm at Galveston, Tex. It was of fered for redemption. There was un doubtedly much money destroyed in the Galveston storm, but comparative ly little of it has been recovered. A half-dozen or more installments have been received, but in all it has amount ed to but a few hundred dollars. Some of that sent in had been found in the pockets of clothing worn by victims of the storm. Most of it was in fair shape, and the senders received the full amount in crisp, new bills. The man who recovered the last lot re ceived, however, was less fortunate. It was turned over to E. A. Brown, the treasury expert on mutilated money, who soaked the mass and picked it apart, discovering at once that it was composed of worthless confederate •bills. Mrs. Brown and her assistant, Miss Elizabeth D. Smith, have to deal with money under many queer condi tions. It comes to them burned until only fragments of charred paper are left, rotted and mildewed, gnawed by mice, eaten and discolored by acids, and in a thousand other forms. Their knowledge of money Is reduced to a science. By a glance at a mere frag ment of a bill they are able to tell from its "geography"—by which is meant the particular style of engrav ing—the year of its Issuo and the de nomination of the note of which it Is a part. A Mrs. Brown now has in hand called forth all her ingenuity. The Moravian National bank of Mora via, N. Y., sent a package of money that had been burned until only black and shriveled paper remained. The burned bills were supposed to amount ! to $125. Mrs. Brown was able to iden- j tify more than SIOO, and as there re mained a considerable amount of the charred paper which had been crushed until it was unreeognlzable, the full amount will be paid upon an affidavit from the bank that the sum stated was i destroyed. A couple of weeks ago a 1 roll of burned money was received from a small town in Virginia. The sender explained in his letter that the money belonged to an aged woman who had been saving it to pay her funeral expenses. Her house caught fire and her little hoard was destroyed. The old lady was not quite sure of the amount that had been in the roll, but she thought it was between S7O and A Democratic $ ICmperor u. J many who livo in the riu atmosphere of courts, Emperor Fr" Joseph enjoys nothing better than a glimpse into the lives of his humblest subjects. So. in order to come closer in touch with the peasants, he has fallen into the habit of walking out alone every Sunday afternoon. Usual ly he turns his baclc upon the city and strolls out upon one of the country roads, where he almost Invariably finds a companion going the same way, a simple tiller of the soli. When the em peror's questions regarding the details of life in the work-a-day world bring down no suspicion of his identity: when he is regarded merely as a kind, chatty stranger, then he is pleased. On one occasion an old man having lis tened to the sovereign's talk with a group of laborers, without knowing who he was, followed Francis Joseph as he retraced his steps to the city. Gradually the old man edged up along side. "Hello, stranger, you going up | The Chinese Fig Tail May Go It is stated that the statesmen of the flowery kingdom are considering the advisability of altering the Chinese law which requires Mongolians to wear cues. The Chinese, it is said, wore their hair American fashion some 300 years ago, at which time they likewise wore garments similar to those in use In this country today. With a now emperor came an alteration in tho two fashions, and ever since cues and blouses have been quite the proper thing. Now there is a great agitation for a :hange back to the old style. The Chi nese are of a practical turn of mind and say that too much time is requir ed to dress their long braids. There is considerable objection to the style now in vogue, and so persistent for a change has become the demand that it Is likely the law establishing the stylo of headdress will be altered. It is stated that the Chinese will not wear their hair long, but that their heads will be kept shaven. Will Cat Tier, - W'Uv—i.

Investigation showed that then was $l3O in the package, and that amount was forwarded for the benefit of the funeral fund. Among the re ceipts recently was a large package of the fractional currency in circula tion during the civil war. It had evi dently been stored away In a vault that was not over dry, and was badly discolored, but was yet in such condi tion that it could be redeemed. A good deal of this fractional currency is re ceived, much of it almost as bright and clean as on the day of issue. The best is not destroyed, but kept on hand and sold at face value to collectors. A week or so ago there was received a number of continental bills, issued by authority of the continental congresa during the war of the revolution. The law does not provide for tho rodemp tion of this money, and tho bills were returned. Ignorant people in the south and elsewhere, particularly negroes, frequently send in large quantities of confederate bills, believing the govern ment will redeem them. The govern ment formerly hold that tho finder of money was not entitled to have it re deemed, and when turned into tho treasury it was kept there for the owner. This rule has now been changed, and the finder of money is the one who profits. A few days ago a Washington colored man took to the treasury two SSO notes, which he said had been found on an ash heap. Al though' badly soiled, the notes were easily identified, and the negro got the SIOO. Another Washington negro not long ago took to the treasury a large package of bills, which had been buried in the ground and were badly water-soaked. The bills were general ly of small denomination, and the task of separating tho pieces and patching them together was a big undertaking, as the amount of the resurrected roll was more than $3,500. The negro ex plained that he had buried the money to get it away from an "extravagant family," and that when he went to the placo of burial to get out a small amount he found that tho entire store had been ruined. The history of tho redemption division of the treasury is calculated to explode the theory that paper money Is a great spreader of disease germs. An average of $1,000,000 of paper money in its very worst forms of dirtiness is handled and counted three times every working day in the year, by a force composed most ly of young women. The only precau tion the clerks take is to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water, yet there has never been a case of ill ness among them traceable to the han dling of money.—Chicago Jounal. { | Mmr Lu-ui* Ax> nf J Kindnaaa of Francis j Joseph off Austria. to town, too, looking for work?" he inquired, confidentially. His answer was a bright gold piece, slipped into his hand by the "stranger," accompa nied by a few words of cheer. This unexpected liberality on the part of his affable companion so fascinated the peasant that they walked on together until they reached the palace gate. Some time later a foot passenger found the bewildered old man stumbling along the road, looking first at the gold piece in his palm and then back over hi 3 shoulder toward tho emperor's palace.

The hairs are fully eight inches in length, and caused one bear to cut himself so badly with ills elaw3 in try ing to push them away that the keep ers feared for a time that serious re sults would follow. The trimming of the bears' whiskers will require several days, and is a dangerous operation. Each bear has to be cornered nnd placed in a cage so small that in it he is unable to move. The objection able whiskers are then removed with long shears. The position of zoo bar ber is not much sought after. The animals often struggle and fight until exhausted before they will submit to the operation, and it takes all the pa tience of the keepers to bring it through successfully. The day for the trimming of the whiskers has not yet been set, but it will be a lively one at the Zoo. Some of Mr. Morgan's Gifts. Thus far J.
