Silk in Our Bank Notes.
The United States government has
made a radical change in the character
of the paper on which its treasury
and bank notes arc printed. No notes
printed on the new paper are jet In
circulation , although the bureau of en
graving and printing is now using the
new paper exclusively The difference
between the paper now in use and that
which is to take its place is chiefly , if
not exclusively , confined to the manner
in which the silk threads are dis
tributed. In the paper now in use
the threads are not discernible except
when subjected to close scrutiny
They run horizontally through the
paper , and are very sparsely used. In
the new paper a radical change in the
manner of using the silk threads is
made. Instead of being distributed
equally over the entire sheet , as in the
paper now used , in the new paper
there will be two bold lines of silk
thread running up and down the bilL
These longitudinal lines are at least
half an inch wide , and they arc packed
as full of silk thread as the fiber of the
paper will hold. It is a matter of some
curiosity to know whether the printing
on a note will deface the lines of
threads so as to render them compara
tively obscure , or whether they will
show through the printing plain and
bold. It seems as if they should be
plainly visible to make them of any
practical utility , for if they are difficult
to see it would make very little dif
ference to the casual observer whether
they were on the paper or not , as far
as affording any protection against
counterfeiting is concerned. The change
of paper is due to the fact that the gov
ernment has reason to believe that the
old paper has been counterfeited. But
if that has been counterfeited , it may
be asked why the new paper cannot
be counterfeited , too. Probably it can ,
but , if so , it is going to take a good
deal of trouble and expense to accom
plish it. The change in the manu
facture of the paper necessitated an
almost complete change in the charac
ter of the machinery used , which in
volved an expense , it is said , of nearly
one hundred thousand dollars. Now ,
anybody who has got that much money
is not likely to spend it in making ma
chinery for counterfeiting. The more
expensive counterfeiting becomes the
less likely are evil-inclined people to
engage in it.
A QUEER plea was recently raised ha
a Salt Lake City court A citizen sued
the city for five thousand 'dollars dam
ages for injuries sustained in falling on
a defective sidewalk in the city. The
citizen was pretty drunk at the time he
fell , and he admitted the fact to the
court. The city set up the defense of
contributary negligence. The plain
tiff's lawyer laid down the very plain
and plausible proposition that "a drunk
en man is as much entitled to a good
sidewalk as a sober man and is much
more in need of it" The jury was still
wrestling with the logic of the plea at
last reports. It would seem that the
logic , like the plaintiff , might have
been easily thrown.
A UNIFORM route across the Atlantic
for all steamers leaving Liverpool for
New York and another separate route
for steamers leaving New York for
Liverpool have long been regarded by
the large steamship companies and by
all the trade as a pressing need of the
tune. A conference of the principal
companies trading from Liverpool to
New York has resulted in an agree
ment upon such routes , and the steam
ers of the leading companies will now
follow them. The tracks being fixed
by common consent represent the safest
courses which the combined wisdom
and experience of the lines adopting
them can suggest
TT * ic
rent literature that the fad for the un
clean is rapidly giving way to a de
mand for clean reading. Effective
work has been done in the direction oi
suppressing indecent literature , and re
spect for the law governing these mat
ters has been forced upon producers
and purveyors who have sought to
cater to depraved appetites. Quiet and
determined methods have proven more
effective than noisy crusades.
to the general supposition
that the ingenious propeller-shaped de
vice which is used to determine the
speed of vessels at sea is a modern inven
tion , it is said that the idea is borrowed
from the ancients. They dragged small
paddle wheels behind their ships , the
revolutions of which enabled them to
estimate the distance traveled. This is
another confirmation of the popular
"There is not.Mnrr rmtrr
the sun. "
SPEAKING of the elaborate Thanks
giving dinners , an old settler in eastern
Maine remarked that there had been
something of a change since he was a
young man , when the chief inducement
for one to attend a Thanksgiving feast
was the assurance by the host that
there would be plenty of genuine white
flour bread.
THE papers published in many of the
southern states tell of the arrival of a
large number of Russian Hebrews
there. They arc pretty sure to have
hard times at first , as they cannot
speak the English language and have
no knowledge of the way of business or
labor in the south.
RECENT statistics prove that the num
ber of immigrants to this country from
Germany is more than twice that of
those from Ireland.
Hogging Letters from London.
A Now York man who recently visited
the English capital has this to say of
an abominable practice followed by
a certain class of professional mendi
cants :
"Ever since 1 was abroad I have been
pestered with all sorts of begging let
ters. They are mostly from the man
agers of English charitable institutions
of various descriptions , though some
are from private individuals. The for
mer incloses a variety of printed matter
illustrating the purposes and work of
the institution. The latter are abject
appeals of apparently professional beg
ging letter writers , with whom London
abounds. I was talking with a friend
about it and he said he had the same
experience for about two years after
he had built a fine house here , a de
scription of which and his wealth got
into the local papers. He was deluged
with begging letters from almost every
capital in Europe and especially
from London. Those people are the
worst and most persistent beggars in
the world. Fancy an American mailing
begging letters to Londoners ! I sup
pose there must be money in it or they
wouldn't do it. "
Enoch Artlcn in Black.
An Enoch Arden romance with an
unusual termination lately leaked out
in Carrollton , Ky. The parties to it are
colored. Nearly fifty years ago Samantha -
mantha and Alexander Richards were
married somewhere in Virginia. A
year or two later Alexander was sold
by his master , Judge John Richards ,
and taken to Natchez , Miss. After the
war he drifted north and finally settled
at Parkersburg , W. Va. While on a
visit to his former home in Henry coun
ty recently , hearing that his old mas
ter's son lived in Carrolltori , he went to
see him and met his wife of half a cen
tury ago. She in the lapse of years had
married again and raised a family. Al
exander , the first husband , also has a
family in Virginia. Alexander gave her
a ring anu a iianaif ercuiei as souvenirs
of their first love. The long-lost hus
band is seventy-three years of age and
is of very respectable appearance. Aunt
Samantha is seventy-two years old.
THe Ideal Society Man.
A clever woman of the world says ,
and her words are worth weighing , that
a man to be agreeable in general so
ciety at a dinner party , at a reception ,
at any of those places and times when
tete-a-tetes are either impossible or in
bad taste , must be able to talk to more
than one person and upon impersonal
topics. He must know something about
a great many subjects , and yet not
have the air of instructing his hearers.
Nothing is more irritating than the ex-
cathedra style , when the speaker
seems to mount a rostrum and hold up
his hand for silence before each utter
ance. A rock upon which a great many
men meet shipwreck is unadaptability.
They talk , and talk well , not too
learnedly and not too satirically , but
they talk upon subjects which have no
interest for their audience.
Holiday Bazars.
The bazars are abroad in the land.
Half the fashionable world of woman
kind is interested in them and the
other half is busy avoiding them , for
they are snares for the purses of the
unwary , even though many a charming
Christmas gift may be found within
their exclusive gates. That the prices
shall be great and wonderful at a ba
zar is an accepted fact , and strange is
the unanimity with which mankind de
clare that it is not the getting in that
costs , but the getting out. To the promoters
meters of bazars in the interest of char
ity much honor is done and a great
amount of time and energy expended.
If , however , they are successful and
at this time of year they always seem
to oe tnen tne rewara oi virtue is
great , though sometimes wonderfully
silent.
THERE are few people in New York
city , it is said , who can tell one China
man from another ; but a spotter who
is able to do so , and who is familiar
with the Chinese haunts here , says
that a good many new Chinese faces
have become visible in the city within
the past year. He believes that most
of the newcomers have migrated from
California and Oregon , where they suf
fered persecution , but that some of
them are from British Columbia and
have recently left China. Chinamen
prefer New York to any other place on
the American continent , for there they
can live in peace , find work , make
money , smoke opium , see Chinese plays ,
and worship Joss.
THE fur of black cats will soon enter
into the composition of winter gar
ments in this country. A company has
just been organized on Puget sound
under the title of "The Consolidated
Black Cat Company. " The company
proposes to buy an island in the sound ,
stock it with black cats from Holland
and go into the business of breeding
black cats for their fur. The surround
ing water will protect the ranch from
the admixture of undesirable breeds
and will furnish abundant fish to feed
the stock. The projectors say there are
millions in it.
A DEsMotSES ( la. ) man has invented
an electrical carriage , with storage bat
teries , for ordinary usuage upon the
boulevards of our large cities. It has a
four-horse power and will carry twelve
persons at the rateof fourteen miles an
hour. It seems that the day lot poor
old "Dobbin's" deliverance is surely at
hand.
Tramp Steamers.
The great crops of this year in the
Dnited States have caused an unusual
number of steamers to come to Ameri
can ports A large fleet of "tramps"
has for some time been pouring into the
harbor of New York to take grain back
to Europe. They come in ballast , as
there is not sufficient cargo for the
United States to fill them even at the
reduced rates at which they arc wiliing
to take western-bound cargoes. The
fact that it is possible to send a cargo
for almost nothing to America has
caused a reduction of ocean freight
rates for the regular lines from Europe
and the lines are beginning to feel it
severely On the other hand , the rates
for eastern-bound ocean freight are bet
ter than ever , and tramp ships can
make money b3' talcing a cargo to
Europe and coming back in ballast As
a tramp comes into harbor she throws
overboard her ballast and comes in
"flying light. " So many tramps have
recently thrown out ballast before com
ing upGedney's channel , in New York
harbor , that the attention of the pilot
board has been called to the fact that a
shoal is likely to be formed there.
A Nonsensical Practice.
There are many pertinent sugges
tions to letter-writers in the recent re
port of the postmaster general. It has
been the aim of the department to
diminish as far as possible the number
of letters sent to the dead-letter office.
To this end it was suggested last
year that writers signing other than
their full names should also add those
as a guide in case of failure to properly
address the letters. It is manifestly
difficult for the young ladies in the
dead-letter office to guess at the real
name of one signing himself : "Your
Loving Joe , " or "Your Affectionate
Father. " The adjectives may have
significance to the persons interested
but there are many loving Joes along
the route of every mail-carrier , and
possibly , also , a fair number of loving
fathers. A cessation of this nonsensi
cal practice would assuredly be highly
gratifying to post office officials.
The Deadly Cigarette.
A St. Louis man is said to have be
come a hopeless imbecile through ex
cessive cigarette smoking , The case is
not a solitary one. But who shall com
pute the number of men who arc now
being made wholly incapable of good
intellectual work , whose naturally
bright minds are being reduced to the
common-place , and who convey no in
fluence , and all because of the cigarette ?
A distinguished physician says that "the
cigarette boys" will by no means fill
the places of their fathers in the genera
tions following , but are on the down
grade. And this he ascribes to the -em-
pyreumatic oil in the paper and the
opium in the tobacco. But. still the
American boy smokes and the American
father looks on and deprecates the prac
tice while it never occurs to hin to exer-
ci se a kind , parental authority and pro
hibit the practice.
A RARC old chest that originally be
longed to Ferdinnnd and Isabella of
Spain , and which , perhaps , Christopher
Columbus may have been identified
with , was received at the Detroit cus
tom house a few days ago. The im
porter is S. E. Barrett , a wealthy Chicago
cage business man , who picked tip the
treasure on one of his trips abroad.
The chest is a cumbrous affair , but so
worn with age that it has almost fallen
to pieces. On the cover is the crest of
the benefactress of Columbus. Mr.
Barrett purchased the chest for one
hundred dollars , and has ample proof of
its genuineness.
WHILE philologists have sought for
our primitive mother tongue on the
plains of Central Asia , it has remained
for Prof. Garner , of Wasliington , to de
termine to go to the fountain-head , as
it were , of our primeval speech. He
proposes to lock himself in an iron
cage , located in the forests of Africa ,
and take down with phonograph the
chatter of the gorillas. The result will
be "monkey talk , " of course , but since
Darwin proved the importance of the
monkey to us , Prof. Garner has a great
opportunity to distinguish himself.
So NEW is our great west that it is
said there is not in Colorado a native
born white grandmother. Denver is
made up of one part of foreigners , one
of New Englanders , one of New York
ers and Middle states people , one-half
part of southerners and the other half
of natives. There are more Welshmen
there than any other class of foreign
ers , with the Scandinavians a close sec
ond.
MANY thousands of dollars are ex
pended every year in fine whips , cost
ing from twenty-five to one hundred
dollars , as presents to prominent men
in clubs , societies , railroad and steam
boat companies. Fine whips share with
gold-headed canes the honor of being
used as gifts. New and novel designs
in whips are constantly being brought
out bv the manufacturers.
FLORIDA dentists can now pull , fill
and polish the people's teeth without
going to the trouble of procuring a
license , as a court of that state has so
decided. The prices for the pulling , fill
ing and polishing will , very likely , re
main at the old figures.
TEN of the few remaining buffaloes
of this country were shipped tea mil
lionaire banker at Liverpool , Eng. , a
few days ago. The animals commanded
an enormous price and were to be
olaced in the banker's private park.
