DEFECTIVE STREET CLEANING.


Considerable complaint Is heard of
the manner in which our street COM
missioner sweeps the block paved
streets every night, AS soon as the
regular street sprinkler passes over
them every morning and fiushes them
literally they are as muddy as ever
and this is the cause for the complaint.
Even crossings are almost impossible.
The street commissioner says this
mud is daily packed hard on the
blocks by the many wheels passing
along. and the street sweeper passes
over it and cannot take it of al
though it sweeps the streets smooth
and gets off all the surplus dirt. A
wire brush would scarcely do better.
What is needed is thorough flushing
and washing off twice or more per
week.

PAPER MONEY.
The Kinds of Currency That Are Used by
 Foreign Countries.

The Kinds of Currency That Are Used by
 Foreign Countries.
 The Bank of England note is inches by ill dimensions and is printed ill black ink on Irish linen water lined pa per, plain white, with ragged edges The notes of the Banque de France are made of white water lined paper, print ed in blue and black, with numerous mythological and allegorical pictures, and running ill denomination from the 25 franc note to the 1000 franc. South American currency, ill most countries, is about the size and appearance of American bills, except that cinnamon brown and slate blue arc the prevailing colors and that Spanish and Portuguese are the prevailing languages engraved on the face.
 The German currency IS rather ar- tistic. Tho bills are printed in green and black. They run ill denominations from 5 to 1000 marks. These latter bills arc printed on silk fiber paper.
 The Chinese paper currency is in red, white and yellow, with gilt lettering and gorgeous little hand drawn devices. The bills, to the ordinary financier, pdSS IOT "dSu1uR DuG buSy are worth good money in the Flowery Kingdom. Italian notes are of all sizes, shapes and colors. The smaller bills, and 10 lire notes, are printed on white paper ill pink, blue and carmine inks and ornamented with finely engraved vignette of King Humbcrt.
 The 100 ruble note of Russia is barred from top to bottom with all the colors of the rainbow, blended as when shown through prism. In the center, in bold relief, stands 8 large, finely executed vignette of the Empress Catherine I. This is in black. The other engraving is not at all intricate or elaborate, but is well done ill dark and light brown and black inks The Australian bill is print ed on light colored thick paper which shows none of the silk fiber marks ol geometric lines used ill American cur. rency as a protection against counter. feiting.

TraDDfnp Turkeys.

One of the methods by which wild turkeys are taken by native hunters, as described ill Hunting and Fishing In Florida,' by MT. O. B. Cory, curator of the department of ornithology in the Field Columbia museum, Chicago, certainly does little credit to the intelH- gence of the turkeys.
 A place is found where turkeys are numerous Corn is scattered about, and if that is eaten, moro corn is placed there the next day. The birds are fed in this manner for week or two, until they become accustomed to going there for food. Then small logs are laid, forming square Iox about 6 or 8 inches in height; possibly two logs on each side, one above the other. Inside is placed the corn, and the turkeys enter it readily, as the obstruction is not sufficient to excite their fears.
 The next night another log is added, raising the box little, perhaps a foot or so, and this process goes on until the small logs form cone shaped box, mar rowing at the top, leaving an opening perhaps a foot or IS inches wide, by which they can enter at the top.
 Corn is placed ill the box, and few kernels leading to it. as usual, and the turkeys, mounting the last log, drop in and eat up the corn. And now they are caught. The opening is so narrow that, although turkey can easily jump down through it W ith closed wings, it cannot jump out again with it's wings spread.

A COStIy Joke

A Berlin correspondent tells as true story about joke that resulted some what seriously for the man who invent cd it. This person was incredulOus about the discriminating appreciation of wines which a distinguished friend of his claimed to possess, and to test the matter invited him to dine at ho- tel whose landlord had previously been instructed to set before the connoisseur a bottle of excellent moselle. It was to bear no label or other marks to distin- guish it from twin ordinaire, and if questioned the landlord was to say that it cost only small price. The invita- tion was accepted, and the plot was carried out. The guest had hardly taken a single sip from his glass, however, be- fore he proved the injustice of his hosts suspicion by exclaiming over the merit of the wine. He summoned the land lord, and on hearing that its price was marks instantly ordered l, 900 bottles of the same vintage, The order was filled, and the host, rather than reveal the failure of his trick, paid the differ ence between the alleged and real price, which amounted to something over 4, ,OOO marks.

PARLIAMENT AND THE TURF.
A Case In Which a Government Was AL
 most Overthrown by Ascot.

Case In Which a Government Was AL
 most Overthrown by Ascot.
 Five or six years ago an astute Rad ical, MT. Samuel Storey, with charac- ter1sttc wariness, very nearly caught the government of the day tripping. He had been Cleft speaking" on a Tuesday night in June and announced his in- tention to continue his remarks on rather exhaustive scale upon the follow ing Thursday, when the debate was to be resumed. This was just what a num- Der of Unionist gentlemen wanted, for it happened that little "event' known as the Gold Cup was to be decided that afternoon at Ascot, and, much as it grieved them to miss the eloquenoe of MT. Storey, they were bound to choose between the two attractions. So-possi- bly, with grieved hearts, and also possi bly not-they hied them to the royal heath in comfort and contentment.
 On returning they looked in" to the house of commons to see everything was all right and found that everything had been all wrong. For the sagacious Sunderland Radical, having glanced around him and beheld the poverty of the land, thought that his own words might be silvern, but division would be golden. Accordingly he stated his intention not to indulge ill further crit icism, and before the few Unionists could recover from their amazement or put up man to talk against time until the Ascot visitors returned Q division was called.
 A few of the ''early birds,' having missed the last race in order to reach Westminster as speedily as possible, drove into Palace yard as the leather lunged policemen were shouting |" Wi sionW The dread word, borne on the summer breeze, told its own tale. Into the lobby they rushed like Eladmen, just in time to save the government from an awkward defeat. MT. Storey, though not sporting man, smiled sweetly. He had been done by "only a short head" And he would have actu- ally won if a dozen horse racing lovers of his own side of politics had not also abjured Westminster for the pleasant plain of Berkshire. Thus was MT. Stor- ey prevented from bringing off a glori- ous triumph.
 The moral of the tale is the fallibi1- ity of human nature-even Radio al hu- man nature. "The Cup' begat Mr. Storey's fearful hope of "a coup" and he very nearly succeeded in bringing it off. Since that time the party "whips'' have marked the Ascot Thursday w'+h black mark and taken heed unto their forces
 By way of revenge it was the Ascot Friday - which nobody troubled to think about-that ruined the Rosebery government in 1895. Men went away to see the racing, and on returning to town found, when dining at the club, that an ardent band of astute diplomat ists had skillfully topplcd over Sir Hen- ry Campbell Zimmerman, the war min ister, on the comparatively insignificant question of cordite. It is a hard thing, after "black" week in backing horses, for a poor legislator to find himself face to face with the terrOrs of a general election. London Telegraph.

INAUGURATION DAY.
When It Will Fall Upon Sundays and
 What Then Happens.

What Then Happens.
 From the year 1917 to the year 2OS5 inauguration day will fall on Sunday every 2S years, but ill changing from the twentieth century to the twenty first the 40 year period comes in, and after 20S5 the next inauguration Sun day will be in 2125. So, there will be a 40 year period from 2181 to 2221 and from 2277 to 2317, but only 28 year period from 2373 to 2401, as 23 is not divisible by 4.
 During any century whose number is divisible by inaugural jOn day falls on Sunday 4 times During any century whose number is not Uivisible by 4. it falls on Sunday only 3 times. From 2OO0 to 210O, for instance, it will fall on Sunday times and also from 2400 to 250O, 20 and 24 bein; divisible by 4, but from 1900 to 2000, it will fall on Sunday only 8 times, an,l so from 210O to 2200, 19 and 21 not being divisible by 4. Observe that, in speaking of the humber of d century" we do not mean the year; 20 is the number of the ccn- tury-which we divide by 4-and 200O is the year. Observe, llso, that in all this we are not speaking of the recur- renee of the date, March 1, but of the particular March 4ths that are inaug- uration days.
 Here is q table showing how many times inauguration day falls on each of the seven days of the week from the year 1900 to the year 5000:

A MAnuRCrfnt Hunt.

The editor of popular weekly was placed in a great dilemma the other day, says The WCstm instcr Gazette. Having with much care selected six complete stories for publication, he placed them for safety on tho floor, un- derneath the waste paper basket. On leaving late at night Inc forgot to change their position, and when tho charwom- an came tho next morning she swept them up with other litter and put them in the dust bin. Tho same morning the dustman came around, and the paper, including the editors priceless stories, was placed i'll large sacks and sent off to the Salvation Army depot.
 The editors despair at discovering the fate of his manuscripts may be inn agined, but he is a man of much deci- sion, and, having learned tho process of collection, he chartered a hnnSom, and, taking two assistants with him, set off for the Salvation Army quarters. It was, of course, impossi ble for the au- thorities there to tell him which bag contained the litter. The huge sacks, 40 in number, which had been collected during the morning were without any mark of identity, and 1t was at once ap- parent that if the manuscripts were to be recovered it would be necessary to search the entire litter.
 Undismayed at the prospect, the edi- tor and his assistants took off their coats and went to work. After many hours of weary search five out of the six were ultimately recovered. The last and, ao- cording to the editor, the most price, less, evaded all search; but, triumphant at the result of the days labors, tho ed itor and his assistants returned to tho office and the manuscripts wore forth with handed to the waiting printers

Perhaps it might be well to say that

5IHaPS IV HIIBIO UU W61I UU say UIIdV when inauguration day falls on Sun day, the incoming president takes the oath on Saturday, March 3, but is not formally inducted into office until Mon- day, March 5. This is done to prevent lapse in the office, for the outgoing president has no authority as such after 12 o'clock, noon, on March 4, whether that date fall on Sunday or on any other day. If, therefore, occasion should arise between noon on Sunday, March 4, and noon on Monday, March 5, for the ex- ercise of the presidential authority, the incoming president, having taken the oath of office, would be qualified to per form the duty. Such a case never has arisen, but it might arise. se.-Philadel- phia Times
