How ch,na cot rta Ma.,.e,

Upward of 1.1O0 years before Christ
the Chinese were people ruled by .
dynasty of kings. of whom. like the
Pharaohs of old, there is no clear history.
and not until the Chow dynasty. B. G.
1925, is there any clear history Of the
main Chinese States. The Chinese take
their history back to the time OF Noah.
This ancient empire has in its time borne
many names. for it was custom, when
q new dynasty ascended the throne. to
give another name to the empire, as Hal
que, Cham que, Han-que, etc.. according
to the name of the monarch. The true
name is said to be Chum-que, @the center
kingdom Of the world" This term was by
usage corrupted to Chin-que, and from
this word the Portuguese gave it the
name Of China. China proper consists OF

In the Treasury here one day this week
the question came up as to the weight of
81 bill. Scales Of perfect accuracy
were brought into requisition and the
surprising discovery was made that "a 81
notes weighed exactly as much as SEQ
gold piece. The latter just balances $40
grains. However, the bills weighed were
perfectly crisp and new. Trial made
with soiled notes, such as come in every
day for redemption, showed that 81 Of
them weighed considerably more than
the $50 coin. Every paper dollar on its
way through the world continually ac-
cumulates dirt, perspiration, and grease.

Well, we viii tell you about that very

AT the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris. France, the best sewing machines of
the world, including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by q
jury composed of the best foreign mechap

sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler g.
Wilson machines were the best OF all, and
awarded that company the highest prize of
fercd, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition OF superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the com
