Entire Northwest.

ST. PAUL. Jan. 15-ThiS week has been
one of the coolest ever experienced in tie
Northwest, but there is little or no wind
stirring and the great part of the ordinary
discomfort is absent. The last very cold
winter was four years ago. when the great
Dakota blizzard caused over 200 deaths; but
during that memorable January the worst
thing ABOUT the weather was the cutting
winds that blinded those out Of doors, SO
that many lost their way and were frozen to
death. 1t is very noticeable in the present
cold snap that no lives are yet reported iOsL'
There is little or no snow in this section.
Last night was probably the cOldest OF tue
season. The mercury went down until ~
frOze in many localities. All through tie
northern part of Minnesota, in Manitoba,
North Dakota and the Canadian Northwest

low zero in spirit thermometers. AT p

THE ROYAL GRIEF.
Deep Sorrow Of The Family Of The De-
ceased Duke.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-ApprehensiOn is felt in
many quarters regarding the condition Of
the Princess of Wales, who takes the death
ot her son very much to heart and refuses
to be comforted. Her long service in the
sick-room with both Prince George aud
Prince Victor has had the effect Of greatly
deblitating her, and to-day she is COM
pletely prOstrated.
Princess Victoria Mary. whose poignant
sorrow at the loss Of her betrothed hus-
band seems to increase, is also prOstrated
by the intensity OF her grief and her refusal
to touch food. Much anxiety is ex pressed
regarding her. Princess Mary stood be-
side her royal lover, and through her blind
ing tears watched him as his life passed
away, When the doctors announced the
Duke was dead she became bysterical, and
her cries were heartrending Efforts were
made 70 lead her from the room, but for a
long time nothing could induce her to leave
the death chamber. She stood by the bed
side and leaning over she called My Ed
die, my Eddie" in ag0niZed tones and en-
treated him TO speak to her once more.
The Irish newspapers to-day all contain
kindly articles upon the death Of the Duke
OF Clarence aud Av0ndale.

FRENCH BANK BILLS.

More Than Four Hundred Persons Are
Employed in Manufacturing Them.
All bills are issued by the Bank Of France,
which carries on the whole process of man
ufacture, including even that of the paper
on which they are printed and the ink used
The paper factory is at La Ferte-soUs-
JOuarre, where linen rags are so treated as
to produce paper Of peculiar quality, says
LIE Genie Civle. This special paper is
made, inspected, cut into sheets and shipped
to Paris under the care Of two of the bank
officials, who are held responsible for every
sheet
The sheets are packed in bundles Of 1000
in each, and are printed in the basement of
the bank building in Paris. AS with the
blank paper, the bills, in every stage Of
fabrication, are in charge of some official
who must account for every one which has
come into his hands, either by showing
1t or q receipt given for il by the Official
to whom he has handed it over. As the
bank has sometimes printed 100000 a day,
and at such periods employs about 400 per-
sons in the printing department, strict ac-
counts are necessary to prevent loss, and an
elaborate system Of numbering and check
ing is used.
A series of bills consists of 1000, which ars
numbered from l to 1000, and twenty-five
series, lettered A, b, c.. ETC.. and tied up to-
gether, under the name of an alphabet"
After each operation the bills are verified
by women, who sign their names on the
band placed around the bundles. As there
are nine operations there must be nine veri-
icatiOns, and the final verifcation is re-
peated by a fresh set of INSPECTORS, 80 that
nothing can be overlooked After the bills
are completed they are delivered to the
Secretary Of the bank, VINO examines them
and gives a receipt for them, diScharging
the head of the printing department from
further responsibility They are then
placed in the vaults, and are withdrawn for
issue only by order of the governors of the
bank.
The principal difficulty In regulating the
accounts comes from the defective bills.
No bill is allowed to pass the inspectors
which shows spot an uneven margin, q
defectin printing, or any other imperfectOu
and the bills thrown out must be recorded
in the books with quite as much accuracy
as those which pass successfully TO the final
stage. Every bill rejected by the inspectors
is stamped. and its place in the series filled
By a check. The stamped. bills 60 to tho
Secretary of the bank, who puts them under
lock and KEY, and new bills, corresponding
to the checks are printed, and credit is
given to the paper mandatory for the
paper necessary to make these.
The accounts of the "faulted" bills ar3
carried through the books, and, for verfea-
ton, the stamped bills themselves are kept
for five years. At the end of that time IL
there has been no question about them, .he
