of returning to her.

however, and was greatly annoyed

A UNIQUE WORKBAG.
Materials for Making a Very Useful Little
Article.


Article.
An odd little work-bag is made of
Japanese crepe picture, and although
the material is paper it is stout and
strong, and will last for years.
The handsomest of these pictures are
% inches long by ten inches deep, and
one and a half'of this size will be re-
quired for the bag. Smaller ones, how
ever, if the former are unobtainable,
may be sewed together to make strip
80 or 80 inches long; but care must
be taken to have them harmonic in
coloring, otherwise the effect will be
bad. Trim off portion top and bot
tom, in all about two inches; join them
and line with cardinal-red India silk,
sewing the silk and picture together at
the bottom with seam on the wrong
side.
The silk should be cut 11h inches
deep, and this extra depth blind
stitched over on the right side to form
heading of about two and half
inches. The entire depth of the bag
when finished should be nine inches.
Cut q circular piece of cardboard IS
inches in circumference, and cover on
both sides neatly with the silk. After
joining the bag together, gather at the
bottom and sew to the cardboard, dis
tributing the gathers as evenly as posi-
BILE. Make a shirr at the top, and draw
up with yellow silk tape, three yards Of
which will be needed for the purpose.
If the predominating colors OF the pic
ture are rich, the effect of these, with
the red of the lining and the yellow of
the draw-strings, is very oriental.
The writer has used one OF these lit
tie bags for years, and it shows as yet
few signs of wear, the colors being as
bright as at first. Twilled Turkey red
may be used for lining instead of the
silk, but the latter is far more durable,
and will prove more satisfactory in
every way.--Harper's Bazaar.

ANCIENT CHINESE PAPER MONEY = oNEHALF ACTUAL

France was flooded with worthless pa
per money; the government was unable
to redeem the ''assignats." While the
latter were rapidly losing their value,
tn prices of all kinds of goods were
increasing in proportion, and it was not
long before the "assignats" were en-
tirely worthless. Nobody was willing
to take them, and the consequence was
that thousands of families were beg
CARED.
Not quite as badly as the French,
but badly enough, Jared the Austrians.
The Napoleonic wars had thrown the
empire deeply in debt and the tempting
paper money was resorted to by the
government in its attempt to get out
of it's financial troubles. The manufac-
ture of the limsy currency assumed gil
gantic proportions, and in 1911 the
value of the paper notes had decreased
to such an extent that 1,S00 paper gull
dens were equal in value to 100 guldens
in silver. The amount of paper cur
rcncy in circulation at that time was
logo 900, 900 guldens. and since the gov
eminent saw the impossibility of ever
redeeming its notes at par it resorted to
compulsory adjustment with its
creditors. The treasury printed so
called redemption notes." with which
the old paper currency was redeemed
on a basis of paying one gulden IN re-
demption notes for five guldens of old
paper currency.
The history of the United States
with paper currency during the times
following the civil war is of too recent
date and too we'll known to need reca-
pituiation. The present system Of
paper currency in all civilized countries
rests on a solid basis, and conditions
like those related above are not apt to
prevail again.

step was taken which led TO the estab-
lishment of paper currency in the most
modern and civilized countries of the
western world.
The evolution Of the crude leather
notes Of the ante-Christian era to the
artistic bank notes of the present was
q gradual one, and real paper money
was not issued until about the year 1000
a. ID. Again il was Chinese treasury
sffcial who conceived the happy
thcnght to supplant the heavy metal cur
rcncy and the cumbersome leather
pieces by printed papers lips,which were
called "Tchitsi." They were issued in
large numbers, and may be regarded as
the first real paper money. At later
period new notes called "Kiao-tsu"
were issued, which had a limited time
OF circulation, usually three years, after
which they were redeemed by the gov
eminent and destroyed. The people in
general did not take kindly to this pa
per money, and many refused to ex-
change their good metal for the sus-
picious paper slips. Then the govern
ment simply printed the following
legend on the face of its notes: at is
ordered that PAPER money with the inn
perial seal is to be taken as legal tender,
the same as copper. Whosoever refuses
to obey will be beheaded."
This was plain and had the desired
effect, as nobody valued his copper
quite as highly as his head. Thus paper
currency came into general circulation,
and China has the honor of its inven-
tion.
During the period the "K!ao-tsu'
was in circulation naturally manv of

Thirty years ago, when black game

he took the place, 25 years ago, ravens,
carrion crows, buzzards, and hawks of
various kinds, were very abundant, and
that the war he had waged against them
