Important typewriter Decision.

Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of that machine on account of
infringement of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
of typewriters. The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
it is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing COM
panies.
I'm some cases purchasers of ma
chimes which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
infringement. Until these cases are
definitely settled this action will deter
many people from purchasing type
writers which are colorado limitations
of the Remington. To save a few dol
lars man does not want to buy a ma
chine with a law suit attachment, espe-
cially when the other machine is the
best. N. Y. Journalist, June Is, 1894

AN ADEPT AT RESIGNING.
The Accountants Novel Method of TAX
ing a Vacation.


Living in a fashionable town within
committing distance of New York is
gentleman who invariably attracts at
tention by his long hair. Strangers
always conclude that he is nothing
less than great lawyer or bank presi-
dent When the more curious ask his
fellow-townsmen about him they are
told the following story:
One day the gentleman, who is one Of
Che best accountants in the metropolis,
stepped up to the president of the bank
by which he is employed and said he
had decided to resign and that the
resignation must go into effect immedi-
ately.
The president was 10th to lose so
valuable a man and urged him to recon-
slider the matter. He talked with him
for an hour but to no purpose. The
employc, whose skill as a mathema-
tician was beyond anything ever met
with by the officials of the bank, was
bound to leave the institution but
absolutely refused to give any reason
for his doings.
The accountant left that day and the
bank was obliged to get along as best
it could without him.
Ten days later the cashier was
astonished on entering the bank to
find the accountant hard at work at
his old desk. The mathematician said
good morning, just as he had done
every day for years before he resigned,
but offered no explanation.
The president and cashier decided to
let their strange acting employee keep
at his work and ask no questions.
Three months later the accountant
went into the presidents Office again
and rendered his resignation. 1t was
accepted. and the man was absent for
week or more. Then he suddenly re-
turned.
The same thing was repeated again
and again. Now it is standing joke
in that bank that the accountant has
resigned. It is his way of taking a
vacation. He never stays away more
than two weeks.-N. Y. Commercial

GOING TO SLEEP.
How to Woo the Slumber TsNt Us So OFTEN
Elusiye,

To ali. whether they ay~ workers, or
tAose who merely lead rafferty, eN-
istence, a certain amount of sleep is es-
sential. Sufferers from insomnia know
only too we'll the irritable state into
which the nerves quickly fall, and the
utter want of physical and mental
power they experience. Nothing that
has ever been discovered can take the
place of natures sweet restorer." and
without it the health of the body can
not possibly be maintained. The over
jealous brain-worker frequently en-
deavors to cheat nature of her due by
reducing his hours of repose to an in
sufficient number, but she will be
avenged sooner or later and will de-
mand high price for his folly. 1t has
been reiterated by those who ought to
know that nine hours out of every
twenty-four should be spent in sleep if
we would be healthy both in mind and
body. Children from five to fifteen need
from twelve to ten hours sleep. bat as
old age comes upon us seven or eight
hours are sufficient. How few men and
women in this hurry scurry age, where
night is turned to day. realize the inn
portance of rest. They wear themselves
out before their time and are content to
snatch sleep when they can, not unfre-
quently making five hours suffice in
place of nine. If once the habit of late
hours becomes fixture il is by no
means an easy matter to WOO the SUM
her we have spurned; she eludes us
then. and we are victims of our own
making. There are many simple and
harmless means by which sleep may be
induced without the assistance GU of
narcotics. For instance. a pleasantly
warm bath, into which some soothing
compound. such as eucalyptus oil. has
been mixed. or cup of hot milk, sweet
ened and favored plentifully with
freshly-grated nutmeg (the sedative
properties of which are well known), or
a wine-glass full Of homemade cowslip
wine, taken the last thing before COM
posing oneself for sleep, will often be
found as efficacious remedy for in
somnia as a strong drug. II is said by
scientists to be fact that all our senses
do not slumber simultaneously, but
that they fall into a happy state of in
sensibility one after another The eye
lids take the lead and obscure the sight,
the sense of taste is the next to lose its
susceptibility, then follow smelling,
hearing and touch; the last named be
ing the lightest sleeper and most easily
aroused 1t is curious that, although
the sense of smell is one Of the
first to slumber, it is the last to awake.
Hearing. after touch, soonest eGains

parts of the body begin to sleep before

slumberous influence works its way
gradually upwards to the centlr OF

FRENCH BANK BILLS.


Elaborate Precautions to Avoid Theft and
Counterfeiting.
All French bills are issued by the
Bank of France, which carries on the
VIII ole process of manufacture, includ-
ing even that of the paper on which
they are printed and the ink used. The
paper factory is at La Fertesous-
Jouarre; where linen rags are so treated
as to produce a paper of peculiar
quality.
The 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 one thousand 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 it, or receipt
given for it by the official to whom he
has handed it over. AS the bank has
sometimes printed 400, 1000 bills day,
and at such periods employs about 400
persons in the printing department,
strict accounts are necessary to prevent
loss, and an elaborate system of hum
bugging and checking is used.
A series of lists consists Of |, 0ao. which
are numbered from l to 1000, and
twenty-five series, lettered A, b, c, etc,
and tied up toge Their 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 oper-
ators there must be nine Notifications,
and the final verification is repeated by
a fresh set of inspectors, SO that moth
ing can be overlooked.
After the bills are completed they are
delivered to the secretary of the bank,
who examines them and gives receipt
for them, discharging the head of the
printing department from further re-
sponsibility. 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 in
spectors which shows a spot, an UNI
even margin, a defect in printing or
any other imperfections, 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
go to the 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
are carried through the books, and for
verifcation the stamped bills them
selves are kept for five years. At the
end of that time, if there has been no
question about them, the regents of
the bank, the secretary, the examiners,
the chiefs of the printing department
| and the chiefs of the department of bill
accounts join in signing an order, in
pursuance of which they are taken from
the vaults and destroyed-Ge Comic

A OuACK IN AFRICA.
He Took Cattle rs Fees aud Soon Acquired
a Thousand Animals.


A German agent in the southwest AZ
rican possessions of Germany writes TO
headquarters in Berlin that confidence
men and scamps have invaded even
that sparsely settled and half-savage
region. He says that ayear ago white
man went wandering through the coun-
try carrying on his back a bag filed
with medical nostrums. Little atten-
ton was paid to him, but it was found
later that he knew nothing whatever OF
medicine, and that his little plasters,
waters and drugs were worth no more
than so much fetish. He heralded his
coming everywhere, just as the quack
doctors do in this country, and the sim
ple-minded natives fiocked to him from
far and near to secure the benefits of
his wonderful treatment. He remained
only two or three weeks in place, and
then would seek other fields He took
payment in cattle, and from place to
place he drove his herd, which cost him
nothing for food and kept rapidly in
creasing in size.
Finally he reappeared on the coast
with herd of about one thousand six
hundred cattle out of which he had
bunkoed the natives. AS he had no
medical skill and the contents of the
mysterious bag probably were not
worth ten dollars, he found the business
a paying one. The natives, after he
had swindled them, made up their
minds as to his true character, and the
German agent writes that it probably
would not be safe now for any itinerate
dealer in medicine and cures to travel
through the country; however honest
! and competent he might be.
The agent says, however, that there
is fine opening in southwest Africa
for some young practitioner who is hav-
ing hard work building up practice in
Germany. He names the town where
the young man should settle, and says
he is confident that few years prac-
tice among the natives there would en-
able him to return to Germany with a
snug little fortune. The agent will ex-
ercise great care to prevent any more
/ quacks and humbugs from getting into
the country and giving the natives an
unfavorable impression of all white
men.-Chicago Times.
