Washed His Greenbacks.

Speaking of money reminds me to ask
If you have ever washed any filthy lucre.
I never heard of such thing until recent
ly, when happened to be making social
call at the home of physician. Pausing
a moment at the open door of his office,
noticed row of ''greenbacks" hanging on
a string stretched from the washstand to
the chimney piece.
II am just washing some money" he
said 81 do it because get money from
all kinds of people, and it is often so hor-
ribly dirty that / know it is a breeding
place for microbes | wash every grimy
and ragged bill that comes to me. Give
me one of yours and will show you"
With some misgivings handed him di-
lapidated five dollar bill.
The physician lathered its face generous
ly with soap, and began a vigorous rub.

squeezed it dry, and, smoothing it out
again, hung it in the bright sunshine To
my surprise, in a few moments it became
clean, crisp and self respecting product

the limp disgrace | had been carrying
about. If you don't believe me, try it and

brought back all the shipwrecked people
but one.
By this time Harry, the leader of the

SEVEN WERE DROWNED,

A Schooner is Wrecked on ths Newfound-
land Coast aud Two Women and Five
Children Find watery Graves
HALIFAX, N. s., July 2O.-News was
received by mail yesterday Of the wreck
of the schooner Punico Belle on the
Newfoundland coast on July Q. Two
women and FIVE children were drowned
The vessel which was commanded by
Can't. Samuel Butts, left Catalina on
the Sth inst. for st. Johns, with a cargo
of lumber. She had besides the captain
n crew OF four men and ten pas
sengers, Eve of whom were wo-
men, and as many children. The
vessel encountered fair weather until
11:S0 o'clock that night, when sudden
storm arose which continued until day
light the next morning. The vessel
lost both her main and foresails and
was driven ashore on the cliff at about
$3.50 Of the morning Of the 9th. One oi
the crew got ashore with rope and by
this means the rest Of the crew and
three women were saved.
Mrs. Burton says that but for the
cowardice Of the crew all would have
been saved. As soon as the rope was
rot ashore those heroes went ashore
and left the captain TO take care Of thu
ten women and children. He did thu
best he could unassisted and did not de
sert them until they were all washes

Length Of Intervals Elapsing Between
winters Of Greatest Severity.
One Of the English meteorologists
calls attention to some points In con-
nection with the present extraordinary
weather, and In reference to the very
interesting question Of the periodicity
of such colds. II was stated In paper
on December 81, 1890, that the cold
period Of nineteen days up TO that date
was the longest period OF low tempera-
ture observed at Greenwich since the
winter of 1854; that is, period OF
T1so1-isl4l seventy-seven years, or
eleven years multiplied by seven.
Again, the telegram from Vienna on
the same day stated that the Danube
was frozen over at Buda-Pesth for the
first time since 1879, period OF tlsse-
1871 eleven years.
Again, there was reported from San
Francisco an earthquake which oc-
Cured there on the I'd of February OF
the present year. Prof. Holden, Of the
Lick observatory, reporting thereon,
stated that II was the severest shock
since that Of 1858. Reckoning the pres
ent shock as the end Of 1899, the interval
would be [1s9O-lses] twenty-five years,
a multiple Of eleven. Thus in these
three cases period Of eleven years. or
a multiple thereof, comes out
IL Is assumed that between seismic
energy and atmospheric disturbances
there Is relation.
This period Of eleven years is ap-
proximately that Of the sun-spots' a
minimum OF which occurred last year.
II is also the period Of the years Of
scarcity Of grain in India, and occurs
frequently In connection with earth
ouakes. In this respect there Is q very
distinct interest as regards the present
year, since, according TO the prediction
of the late French astronomer Delauney
which made In n communication TO thu

, this year will be one OF maximum ener

was that none OF the witnesses ever saw
her take anything, or at least they
would not swear to 1t, although after
she had left shop where she had been

were missed. When arrested nothing
was found upon her. The magistrate

A correspondent of the Associated
Press at Rome has had talk with high
ecclesiastical parsonage acquainted with
Papal views on the school question in
the United States. He said, in part:
What seems necessary here from the
Catholic point of view is moderation and
not precipitation. The general course to
be pursued, however, is quite manifest.
Catholics in America should have paro-
chial schools in all parishes where it is
possible, and where there is sufficient
means to render them equal to the pub
lie schools. Where it Is impossible to
do this, schools should be established in
which the catechism may be taught, or
the state should be persuaded to permit
instruction in the catechism outside of
the hours regularly appointed for ordi-
nary school subjects, as is done IN Ger
many.
zone thing is absolutely obligatory,
that is, to found no parochial schools
unless they can be put on a level with
those of the State. At present Catholics
in the United States cannot rival the
State schools, as they have not sufficient
resources. The Vatican has confidence
in the zeal and tact of the hierarchy In
America"
1t is rumored at Washington that ex'
Senator Blair, the new Minister tC
China has been rejected by the EN-
peror's Government on account OF bis
well known opposition to Chinese i'm
migration to this country.
