The Weight OF IA Dollar Bill.

Do you know how many one dollar
bills it takes to weigh as much as a
twcnty-dollnr gold piece? Driving out
to White Bear recently one of those
walking compendiums of useful infor-
nation sprung tho above query, and
the opinions that 1t elected show re-
markable range. One member of the
party, whose business 1t is to handle
money in large sums, after profound
thought. suggested that the number
would bc from one Thousand to ono
thousand two hundred Others guessed
down the line TO five hundred, but no
one less than that number. After all had
placed themselves on record, the COM
pendulum stated that the number Of bills
was thirty or thirty-onc, according to

For the Kansas Exhibit.

KANSAS, Sept. 2l.-The meeting o
the representative of the subscribers to
the 500, 900 worlds fair fund was called
to order in the senate chamber at 2
o'clock this afternoon. There Is good
attendance, about fifty counties being
represented. One-half Of the required
$1,000 has been subscribed. Every
railroad In the state has contributed its
quota with the exception OF the Mis-.
souri, Pacific which has refused.
The excuse given by Jay Gould for
not participating in the Kansas enter
prise, Is that the Missouri Pacific in
tends to expend 81, 900, 900 in making an
exhibit OF the products OF the country
through which it trayerses. However,
some Of the delegates are OF the opin-
ion that the Missouri Pacific will be in
duced to reconsider its determination
not to help out the Kansas fund. The
meeting will elect a board Of nine man.
ayers, one for each congressional dis
trict and two from the state at large.
The Kansas lady commissioners, Mrs.
Lewis Hanback, and Mrs. General
Mitchell, have petitioned the meeting to
elect two ladies from the state ut large

AT the recent meeting Of the French
Society Of Hypuology in Paris DR.. Ber-
illon astonished his hearers by stating
that almost all children could be hyp-
Noticed except those who were idiotic
or hysterical. The idea that there is
any connection between hysteria and
hypnotism was strongly disputed. One
physician alleged that he had hypno-
tized sixty-nine patients out OF seventy
two under his care for various diseases
in hospital, and said it was absurd to
believe that so large q proportion

Fatal Bee Sting.

A young man OF Pennsylvania Is re-
ported to have died within fifteen min
utes from the sting OF common honey
bee received on the tip OF the finger.
This is the third fatal case collected in
the notes of the writer, and he has
knowledge Of two others which to every
appearance came within very little OF
producing death. 1t is a question
whether in these cases death resulted
from peculiar susceptibility to the poi
son on the part OF the individual, a pc
culiar malignancy Of the poison OF the
individual bee, or peculiar manner OF
inserting the poison, directly into q
vein, for example. The writer's own
opinion is that it was peculiar susceDti-
bility. to the poison on the part OF the
individual. The peculiar fact, howev-
err, that no case OF a fatal result from
the sting OF single wasp, hornet or
humble bee has been reported, lends
some probability to the view that in the
honey bee family some individual bees
are provided with peculiarly intense
and dangerous venom. Possibly, also.
some unsupported organic disease may
have existed in these cases, and the
sting may have only precipiCated a IA
tai event. Going in bathing sometimes
precipitates death from diseased heart
or impending apoplexy. A man within
the writer's knowledge fell into the
water and was taken out dead; supposed
10 have been suicidal drowning. Au-
topsy revealed Bright's disease and a
clot on the brain.-Dr. NJ. G. Elzey.

DUN'S REVIEW.
Business Steadily Improving
Throughout the Country.
Money Easior-Business Enlarging and
Incressing-Prlces Remain Firm
In all Linea

NEW YORK, Sept. PR. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
The hot weather In the weSt Il worth
to the country many millions every
day.
With money coming In for stocks and
bonds, Is we'll as for wheat and cotton
and with the liquidation OF farming in
debtedness, the prospects for business
this fall are unusually bright. An
actual improvement 10 seen in nearly
all cities from which reports have been
received this week. At Boston trade
is enlarging. At Philadelphia business
Is more active. At Cleveland trade ia
nearly all increasing. At Chicago
some decrease in receipts OF lard, but
ter and wool, compared with last year
Is reported for the week, but an in
crease OF q third Is shown in -four
barley. cured meats, cheese, hides. and
a gain oil quarter In oats, while the
receipts of rye and wheat are six timcs
those OF last year. At Minneapolis
trade Is active In lumber and flour. the
shipments OF flour bling more than
double those Of last year.
At Omaha trade is good, though NOR.
ey Is close. At st. Louis country banks
are not drawing as heavily as northern
crops, but money is going south for cot
ton. and at Kansas City trade is salts
factory and money easier. At Nash
vile an improvement Is seen and mon
ey is not SO close as heretofore. At
Sayanah trade is fair but the money
market is still tight and at New Or
leans improvement is seen in groceries,
Rice is moving freely and money,
though in good demand, Is insufficient
to supply all legitimate needs.
II Is especially noteworthy that COL
lections are improving at most points
and that the money markets are on the
whole comparatively easy, although
crops to be moved are enormous and the
actual movement unprecedented. The
wheat receipts at the west for three
days this week averaged moro than
l 800, 900 bushels daily, and although
exports are only about half as large, the
foreign demand suffices to strengthen
the prices, which have risen two cents
In the past week on sales OF only about
81 ,000, 900 bushels here.
Corn declines rapidly as the fear Of
harm from frost vanishes and is 81
cents lower than q week ago, while
oats is 2f lower. Lard and hogs de-.
cined three-fourths OF cent while oil
2cents.
1t is a surprising fact that notwith-
standing the output Of pig iron is al
most equal to the largest ever known,
the price grows more steady and stiff
and q decidedly better tone is observ-
ed in ali important markets.
An awakening is seen in the boot
and shoe business, although shipments
are not at present equal to those OF
last year. but manufacturers have more
orders and the feeling Is
more confident.
Wooden manufactures are doing re-
markably we'll in some branches,
peculiarly in worsted and dress goods
and the demand for dress goods notably
exceeds the present supply.
Business failures throughout the
country for the past week number 239,
with PA last week. For the
corresponding week last year the fig
ureS were 100.
