Valuable Bookmarksrs In Old Books.

1t is told of Xavier Mariner that he
one day discovered a une-rhousand
franc note between the leaves of a
book which he had picked up for n few
sous at n street stall. a similar, but
much more marvellous, adventure has
happened to a young doctor in Turin.
While turning over the leaves of a book
which had been b%oqueathed along with
others to the medical faculty Of Turin
by a certain DR.. Giordani he vas aston
ished to find between the pages no less
than forty bank notes. amounting to
the handsome sum OF AZ. 1000 lire. This
incident will no doubt give rise TO q
most interesting case in The Turin
courts. Although DR.. Giordani un-
doubtedly bequeathed his books TO the
library Of the faculty. his other heirs
will hardly be disposed to admit that
he intended to leave II his monetary
savings as we'll. Possibly, however,
the library trustees are quite prepared
to prove that the deceased doctor was
in the habit OF utilizing his thousand
lire bank notes as b~ookmarkers.
