The New Treasury Notes.

Perhaps the principal object of the re-
vision Of the United States paper money
is to make the backs of the notes more
open, that is, less covered with the en-
craving, so that the silk fbers shall be
more distinctly visible.
The distinctive paper now in use no
longer has the two threads of silk rum
ming longitudinally through the note,
but in their place are two stripes, each
half an inch wide or SO, Of short red and
blue silk fbers scattered thickly in the
paper, in such manner that they show
only on the reverse of the bill.
These two fiber stripes practically di-
vide the note into three sections of about
equal size, and this feature of fiber in
the paper is held to be an almost abso-
lv<e safeguard against successful coun-
terfeiting. But that is only one Of sew
eral devices employed to insure the
inviolability of the currency.
Each note has an entirely separate
design, the work of which is SO open as
to show readily any error of an attempt
ed counterfeit, and no portion of the
design is repeated on the same note; SO
that no small part could be engraved by
skillful operator and then duplicated
by mechanical processes to fill any
amount of space, as has been the case
with some of the previous paper mon
ey" of the government
The geometrical lathe work of the
new designs is said to be the most ex-
quisite and complicated ever executed,
and such as to utterly battle any at
tempt at its Illicit reproduction.-Paper

Snake stories are always in order in
the spring, and the latest one comes
from an interior town in Ohio, where
the heat from the stove awakened the
reptiles and they commenced to fall to
the floor from holes in the ceiling. John
Thompson, who lives in the Cheat river
country, was in the city yesterday buy
ing provisions for lumber camp. He
tells tale that is not unreasonable and
one can readily believe it.
The mountains along the Cheat are
famous for their blacksnakes, and they
can be seen at any time during the day
in the summer summing themselves on
the rocks. Mr.. Thompson says when
the weather suddenly broke up about
April and led a number of people to
throw off their underclothes, the black
snakes awoke with start, rubbed their
eyes and crawled out on the rocks to
stretch themselves. The sun was so
warm that many of them ventured far
away from their winter homes, and
when it suddenly got cold again the
snakes couldn't get back. Mr.. Thomp-
son claims he got tired of killing black
snakes which were so stiff that they
couldn't move. They were stretched
out on the stones, and were at the mercy
of the lumbermen, who amused them
selves making the fiat heads of the
snakes more fiat. This is true story

The Worker and His Ideal.

All great successes, fancy, must be
surprises to the men who make them, for
the discomfort of the artist with his
painting, of the poet with his verse, of
the playwright with his play, is the PEN
atty exacted by the ideal for which men
strive, and which all the more surely
eludes the greatest, whose imagination
is the most far reaching. When man
is satisfied with what he has done he has
reached his limit from that point he
goes down hill, imperceptibly it may be
at first, but none the less ely.-Mary

For twenty years, since Horace
Greeley ceased to be the New York Tri-
bune and Whitelaw Reid took his place,
the Republican candidate for vice-presi-
dent has been the most aggressive and
untiring enemy of organized labor in
the United States. The Tribune, before
Reid, was the friend of labor. The fact
that it was made condition precedent
of his nomination for vice-president that
he should reverse his position will only
fool those workingmen who have a
fancy for being fooled. Reid would
haye commanded more respect if he
had not tried to flop so suddenly and
for purpose apparent to every one.

4 Public BenefactOr Dead.

William Toomey, familiarly known as
old Bill Toomey, died at 1920 o'clock Fri
day night. This is a case where death had
all the alternating circumstances pos
sible. For forty years old Bill Toomey
laid out the dead Of this town, man,
woman and child, without exception.
He never would accept any remunera-
ton for these kindly services, always
rejecting money and saying, Its a real
pleasure to me and no trouble at ALL"
His wife's millinery shop supported
him and her comfortably, and it soon
became known that old Bill TOOmey was
ready and anxious to come at all hours
Of the day and night, rain or shine, Win
ter and summer. To make sure that nc
one would be laid out without him he
fell into the habit of keeping careful ac-
count Of all the sick, and made his
rounds of inquiry each evening. Sew
eral times, when sick persons were not
expected to live through the night, Mr..
Toomey spent the night watching the
house of sickness, without regard to his

! curious story Of a COW Is reported
by a correspondent at Fayzabad, in
Dude. 1t appears that a man Of the
Ahla or cOwherd caste, was CARRYING a
cow calf on his shoulders. when the ami
NAL accidentally fell, breaking its neck.
ThereupOn the Brahmans held a solemn
cOnclave. at which the cowherd was
sentenced To the everest form of Hin
doc accommodation for six months.
During this term it was ordered that he
was to lead a life of mendicancv. and
with a rope around his neck and with a
portion of the calls tail on his shoulders
was to perform pilgrimages to different
HindOO shrines. The members of his
family were forbidden to supply him
with either shelter or food under a pen
atty of undergoing similar excommuni-
cation.
The Ahir is reported to have now re-
turned to his village, but until the puri-
ticatiOn ceremonies are over he must live
IN a temporary grass matched house
erected for his residence. 1t now re-
mains for a mar of the lowest and most
degraded caste TO purify him. A bar
Der, dICer Shaving the uellnQuenC ana
pairing the nails of his hands and toes,
will make over the hair and nails to the
Badmanus, who will burn them and also
set fire to the hut. After this the Ahir
will plunge into the river Sarju and
come out purified, but his troubles are
yet by no means at an end. Not till
after he has Toasted fifty Brahmans and
100 of his brethren will he be readmitted
to caste fellOwship.-London News.

chief aim of the iaw. 70 wit, the making
OF vote-buying precarious.
Again, the hundred-foot law, so-called,
must be enforced. Judges and inspectors
OF election can, with the aid of peace Off
GERS, do it, if SO minded. A single officer
with an election board having backbone
can at least prevent crowding about the
guard rail and the interference of out
siders in officious efforts to advise voters
and the election officers, and to consume
time and delay voting that late men may
be shut out, as was openly done in the
Second Ward. for instance, at the Deem
Der election.
There is 10 reason whatever, if the laws
are reasonably enforced, why quiet
should not prevail in the polling-room;
the election proceed without any advice
to the boards from outside the rail; with
out any crowding, quarreling, or filling
of the line with dummies. We can have
fair, free and satisfactory test of the
new law in March, if the election boards
in each precinct have the manliness to so
resolve and the courage to enforce their
resolution.

THE pitiable wretch, Miss Mitchell,
who cut the throat of her girl lover, be-
cause the sister of the latter prohibited
the companionship, declares that she
live without her." Men have done the
same thing, murdered women because
they could not live without them. What
pity it is that these miserable wretches
are not moved by impulse to the better
and swifter relief of their passion by
killing themselves. Had Miss Mitchell
cut her own throat she would indeed have
solved the question; she would not have
lived without "her Alice" But by her
murderous act she viii be compelled to
live without her. For it may be taken
for granted that the murderess will not
be hanged. She will be pronounced in
sane and sent to an asylum. After
some time Of imprisonment there, being
found to have no murderous love for any
other women, she will be discharged
cured, and still go on living without her
Alice. 1t may be thought brutal, but it
is not, to declare that this order of cranks
ought to be sent after their victims. If
capital punishment is at all justifable, it
should be upheld in these cases Of i'm
pulsive and emotional insanity. Its ap-
plication has a wholesome and restrain
ing influence upon the whole grand army
of cranks. Guiteau's execution put an
effectual check upon the disposition to
murder Presidents. After his crime, and
before his execution, it will be remem-
bered there developed a half dozen or
more cranks who sought to blot out high
Government officials. They were never
heard of after Guiteau stretched hemp.
Emotional insanity is greatly restrained
by the conviction that the death penalty
will follow those who indulge in it. These
people who kill for love, who murder be-
cause they cannot help it, have sense
enough to know that the plea of insanity
in nine cases out of ten will save them.
Let them once understand that the lover
murderers are the best kind of food for
the gaIlows, and there will be fewer love
killings and emotionally inspired muir
ders.

The action of the Executive Committee
of the Miners Convention at a session
held in San Francisco Saturday was in
direct line with the spirit and pledge of
the convention of fortnight ago. It
pledges the miners to sustain and obey
the laws as interpreted by the courts, and
to patiently await the action of Congress
upon the joint appeal of the River and
Mining Conventions. This is gratifying,
and gives strength to the hope that the
final solution of the debris question is
near. On their part, we believe the val

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Johanna County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 120, 160 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the pTin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land Of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 tc
800 an acre. An examination of the land
e0N10OU Vi tiis "oNel 1seIlIoh1 WA-h prove 10
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SIC an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

THE dispatches report that the Gar of
Russia contemplates revival of serfdom.
The scheme is to allow the peasantry
lands belonging to local communes, un-
der irrevocable contracts. which viii pro-
vide that one-third of the produce of the
soil shall be set apart for the support of
the peasantry. one-third to be sold by the
Government to pay the local debts of the
State, and one-third to be devoted to dis
charge of taxation. Under this system
the peasant will not be permitted to re-
move from commune, and will be bound
for life to the contract. In short, it is
practical restoration of serfdom, and is a
reversal of the policy of the Cars great
progenitor. 1t is wholly unlikely that it
will succeed. 1t may be enforced in a
few remote districts, but it is too violently
opposed to the spirit of the age and the
advance of intelligence to be successfully
consummated even in despotic Russia.
