of the boys inclination was always toward
mechanical appliances and the latest inven-

known to need reiteration. His special
fondness, however, was for constructing
crude telegraph instruments with which
to keep up constant communication
with his chum, who lived in the
immediate vicinity. After an enormous
amount of work the little fellows succeeded
in making two instruments, which were
carefully placed in their respective bed
rooms, so that early and late. unknown TO
the rest OF the household, they could COM
municate that flow of thought always on tap
between two youthful friends. The inter
vening wires were arranged to escape the
entangling influence OF shrubbery and
fences by means of tall poles. For awhile
everything went on smoothly. The thrill

married Don Francois daisies for polti-

Francois planted cabbages at the Chateau
d'Epinay Isabella amused herself in Paris.
The Duke de Montpensier hoped that
Isabella would have no heirs, and that til
throne would come to the Duchess, but it
was with sorrow that he gave his daughter
Mercedes to Alfonso. The Duchess de

called the "Mater Dolorosa" of the family,
and when Mercedes died Isabella could not
refrain from singing her sister severely.
The Duchess, overcome by sorrow, found
that her hair had turned white in single

bacteria on Bank Notes.

Some singular facts concerning the danger
of infection by paper money have been
educed by meteorological analysis of the
bank notes of the Spanish bank of Havana
In general circulation. Attention was drawn
to the subject by the fact that circulation
increased the weight of the notes in conse-
quence of their acquiring foreign matter.
The examinations made showed on the
notes in use for some time considerable
number Of microbes, and on some notes as
including those of diphtheria and tubercul-
osis. The result of the examination was
that general warning was Issued to the
public against the active source OF danger.
The use of bank notes is, at all times, at

pecially In Havana, where children have the
habit of carrying paper money in their
mouth. and arc thus very liable to swallow
the germs of some mortal disease.
