Within the next month of two, if present promises are kept, our citi- tens will witness the greatest revolu- don that has ever been made in the yize and appearance of paper money in the United States. Each one of the 2,000,000,000 notes of that kind aow in circulation will be supple- mented by uniform pieces of currency wbout a quarter size smaller than that sow used. If the comment occasion- ¢d by the parcel post, the rural free delivery and every other innovation Uncle Sam has made in the last 20 rears could be rolled into one, it w~vould not bring forth a ‘tenth part >f the popular interest which will be manifested when the people realize that each and every piece of paper money is to be changed. That day will sound the doom o1 the counter- leiter who now raises a one to a ten, & ten to a twenty, a twenty to a fif- :y dollar bill, or, in fact, misrepre- sents any denomination, says Leslie’s. The value of the new bill will be wpparent at sight. Any note with Washington’s portrait will be $1; lefferson’s, $2; Lincoln’s $5; Grover Cleveland's $10; Alexander Hamil- ton’s, $20; Andrew Jackson’s, $50; Franklin’s, $100; John Marshall’s, }500, and so on. It wouldrthen be ut- terly impossible for a forger to boost a $1 bill to a $10 bill, as is s0 trequently done, because within a few — e e | | EASTER AP —For Men and Young Men ‘Who Demand Quality and .

Various expedients for measuring time were in use before the invention of clocks. Alfred the Great caused six tapers to be made for his daily use. Each taper was twelve inches long and of proportionate diameter. The whole length was divided into twelve parts of one inch each, of which three' would burn for one hour, 80 that each taper should be consumed in four hours. The six tapers, lighted one after another, lasted twenty-four hours. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tab- lets. Drlgglsn refundmon ey if it faiis to cure. E. W.

Dressed in his Sunday best, he took the train to Portsmouth to visit his sailor son. And, although the train journey was his first, its excitements paled before the visions of the huge float- ing sailors’ homes he saw in the har- ber. Timidly he approached the side of the gigantic waterway leviathan which had his son on board, and, as he took hold of the hanging ropes to assist himself on deck, he was more than surprised to hear a dreadful clanging of bells. This clamor was merely the sound- Ing of eight bells to denote the time of day, but old Farmer Giles, seeing an officer in the distance. waddled up and accosted hlm,’ remarking apol- ogetically: “Good day, sir! I've come to see my son Jack; but, 'pon my soul, sir, I didn’t mean to ring so loud!”— Answers. Lay of the Land. The maximum difference in- eleva- tion of land in the United States is 14,777 feet, according to government geologists. Mt. Whitney, the highest point, is 14,501 feet above sea level, and a .point in Death valley is 276 feet below sea level. These two points whick are both in California, are less | ence is small, however, as compared with the figures for Asia. Mt. Everest rises 29,002 feet above sea level, whereas the shores of the Dead sea are 1,290 feet below sea level, a ‘total difference in land heights of 30,292 feet. The greatest ocean depth yet found is 32,088 feet, at a point about forty miles north of the Island of Min. danao, in the Philippine islands. The ocean bottom,.at this point, is there- more more than eleven and a half miles below the summit of Mt. Ev- erest. The difference in the land heights in Europe is about 15,868 feet. s Cocaine in Paris. Plerre de Trevieres, French wflbér., with mocking' iromy tells of the “charming progress” that cocaine wae making in “the most select circles of Paris.” He says: “For some time the Parisiennes have given themselves up to the enchanting cocaine, and then, that yeu might join them in its delights, they offered the divine pow- der with the gesture of a devotee, in a delicate tabatiere. But the newspa- pers have opened a campaign against it to deprive mortals of its delights, and to close against them forever this forbidden paradise. Morphine, opium, ether, were all replaced by cocaine, the sympathetic ‘coco.’ There will only re- main to the beautiful ennuyees, the vulgar cigarette, the vulgar tobacco.” This attitude of the press, it is .ex- plained, has been brought about. by some recent scandals and a fatal acch. dent caused by the use of this drug. Where Fashion Is Individual. The fashion in Klangsu province China, is whatever one wants. Every man wears what 18 right in his own eyes. A panama goes jauntily down the street followed by a fur covered brim cap. Felt hats of scarlet and verdigris green follow " along Wwith grays and browns that really do the amateur hatters credit. Hskimo' tog capes, a few derby hats and the smar{ military -uniforms give the streets s piquancy that was missed formerly ix the monotonous China blue crowds Of all the notices posted on the city| gate the one that attracts the mosl attention is the fashion plate that hat been exhibited for weeks. It displays two or three of the typical “western’ suits.. There are the “swallow tailed and the low front frock for evening functions. There one finds the plaited skirts recommended for the women The silk or “stovepipe” hat has iti corner with the other felts. The Store to Put Your Faith In The Forty Year Test.
