OId Bank Notes.

The oldest bank notes are the fly
ing money" or convenient money"
first issued in China, 1857 B. G. Orig
inallY these notes were issued by the
treasury, but experience dictated a
change to the banks under govern
ment inspection and control. A writ
er in a provincial paper says that the
early Chinese ''greenbacks" were in
all essentials similar to the modern
bank notes, bearing the name of the
bank, date Of issue, the number of the
note, the signature of the official issu-
ing it, indications of its value in fig
ures, in works and in the pictorial
representation in coins or heaps of
coins equal in amount to it's face
value, and notice of the pains and
penalties Of counterfeiting. Over and
above all was a lacOnic exhortation of
industry and thrift: Produce all
you can; spend with economy" The
note was printed in blue ink on paper
made from the fiber of the mulberry
tree. One issued in 1899 B. @. is still
carefully preserved in the Asiatic
museum at St Petersburg.

History's Dramatic Revenge.

When ex-senator Bruce of Aissis-
sippi enters upon his duties as recOr-
der Of deeds for the District of Col
umbla his windows will look out up
on the site where stood for many
years before the war one of the best
known slave blocks IN Washington.
In less than minutes walk from his
Office he can stand upon the very spot
where thousands of his race were
knocked down under the hammer. 1t
is just about midway between the
Capital and the White House, and is
occupied as a drinking fountain to-
day. Where, a few years back, pub
lie men of world wide fame careless
lY passed and repassed the slave mart
every day, history has wrought one
of its most startling and dramatic
changes. The colored man, no long
er a marketable chattel, presides over
all the property conveyances in the
District. No transfer is valid with
out his seal
The record of the past thirty years
has been one OF unparalleled feats of
human emancipation. Through the
combined DEGREES Of Alexander of
Russia, Abraham Lincoln and the
good old Pedro Of Brazil over thirty
million shackles have fallen from serfs
and slaves-an average Of over a mil
lion year. We have seen in this
country many violent contrasts be-
tween the old regime and the new,
but where can we find one more dra-
matte than between the old slave
block and the present position of
Blanche X. Bruce? - Leacemrorth

That's So

The Presbyterian church confes-

Tt is to the credit Of humanity that
the members of the church have al
ways been better than their confes-
sion, and although some of the doc
trines of that church have been re-
garded as cruel, the church itself has
been foremost in good works. 1t is
now likely to entirely abandon the

One of the most remarkable utter
ances made at the recent state con
vention of temperance people at Des
AIoines, Iowa, was the declaration of
the outgoing governor, Larrabee, that
his experience as governor of the state
had made him favorable to prohibi-
ton. He said that formerly he had
opposed it as impracticable, but that
in eighty counties in the state the
jails had been emptied, and the num-
Der Of persons in the state peniten-
tiary reduced one half during his ad-
ministration, and that court and peo-
pie were agreed. that the cause Of this
IS prohibition He said that the taxes
were less and the markets better, and
that observing all these things in the
administration of the affairs Of the
state he could not help but become a
prohibitionist. Governor Larrabee
was distrusted by the temperance peo-
pie when elected, lest his known OPP
position to prohibition at the time of
its submission would lead to the use
Of his position as governor to belittle
and defeat the law. But his CONVEX
sion to prohibition while administer
ing a law contrary to his own person
al convictions, is not less a compli-
ment to the character Of the law than
to the sincerity and candor of the con

Do you know a book that you are
willing to put under your head for a
pillow when you are dying? Very
well; that is the book you want to
study when you are living. There is
but one such book in the world.
For one, I have made up my mind
not to put under my head when I lie
dying anything written by YoItaire,
or Strauss. or Parker. We are too
scientifically careful when we choose q
book for a dying pillow. IF you can
tell me what you want for a dying pill

Sentiment is worth nothing until it
becomes principle, and principle Is
worth nothing until it becomes action.

opment to the leg, only, of course, the
Wearer must be careful and get things on
straight. The gentIeman's costume, be-
sides the small clothes. silk stockings and
low shoes, consists of dress coat, white
vest, folding hat and eye-glass. The eye
glass may be dispensed with, but some
men are so bare-faced that even a little
piece of glass helps somewhat to conceal
their thoughts Among the minute Of
the cavaliers makeup may be enumer-
ated the Old-fashiOned foo chain, a
bOutonniere and q single stud in imita-
ton OF the pin worn by the Old-time ex-
quisite.
The QuadrilIe Pose permits Of no con-
versatlon and no display Of emotion
whatever. except it be an expression Of
almost alteration on the cavaliers face,
and a sort of rapt, sem5-seraphic lock on
the visage Of the danes. This is pretty
generally the case with all dances Of this
nature, borrowed from the peasantry Of
the old world. They never chatter while
dancing. It is a matter Of business with
them, and calls for their whole mind.
Any one who has attended a Germ an
schutzenfest Will remember how stOIdly
and silently the walters circle around
the tent, hour in and hour out. The
new dance viii not be quite so silently
performed as that. but its figures

movements called for so little eXeFtiOn,
and they seemed admirably fitted for hot
weather parties. The most dignided and
starchy dude might take part in such q
dance without any danger of willing the
tight, stiff band Of immaculate linen en-
Circling his neck. But for some reason or
other neither the Pavane nor the Minuet
became very popular. They were voted
-deucediy slow, You know" This. was
several years ago, and now Queen Fash
ion comes forward with another novelty
in the dance line. It has a number Of
names, running from grave to gay, from
lively to severe. For instance, you may
call it QuadriIle Pose or Posture Dance,
or, if these names don't suit, you may
speak of it as the Spanish. Jig; or, if you
want to be very funny you may even dub
it the "Molasses Reel, it goes SO awfully
slowly.
The QuadriIe Pose. figures of which are
represented in the accompanying pict-
ures, is said to have been q dance in
vogue among the peas ants of Brittany in
the sixteenth century. There are eight fig
ures altogether, and danes and cavaliers
keep we'll apart, barely joining the tips of
the fingers. These figures are not diff
cult to learn, consisting of forwards and
