A Chicago Fire Legacy.

Fa
The books of the United States
treasury still carry an item of e1,-
coo. 600 which represents United
States notes which are supposed to
have been consumed in the great
Chicago fire Is years ago, saysa cor.
respondent of the New York Sun.
It is known that there was $1,000.
OG0 of currency more or less in the
vaults of the subtreasury then and
that none of it was recovered, but
the denominations of those notes
and the exact amount arc unknown,
as the books of the cashier were con-
su7ned also.
There could not have been, how
ever, very many dollars less or very
many dollars more than st. 600, 900,
and it would simplify the accounts
of the treasury and save a great deal
of labor " the bookkeepers if con.
gress should pass a bill or resolution
recognizing the fact that this mon.
ey is no longer in existence, for ev.
cry day when the cashier Of the
treasury balances his accounts he
has to include this item. deduoting
it, or adding it as the case may be,

The Tumble Weed.

Tumble weeds spread themselves in a
wholesale fashion. Instead Of sending
the separate seeds out into the world
with wings or hairs to carry them, the
whole plant breaks of near the root,
when these are ripe, and goes rolling
along the ground before the wind. The
bare, sun scorched deserts CT the great
west produce several tumble weeds, aud
there are some in the prairie region. It
is natural that they should be most
abundant where there are no hills nor
trees to stop them in their course. But
we have one tumble weed in tie east
the old witch grass, so called maybe be-
cause it rides the wind like an old bel
dame. In September this grass spreads
its head, or psnicle, with hairlike, pur-
pie branches, in every sandy field. When
the seeds are ripe. the plants are blown
across the field, often piling up in masses
along fences and hedgerows. As might
be expected, the hair grass, which has
so effective a way Of spreading itself, is
found throughout the United States

The Nose.

The nose is intended for breathing,
the mouth for speaking and eating. Who
has ever seen a horse Breathing other
wise than through his ncstrils, Minute
scientific investigation has revealed the
fact that the number Of people who
breathe through their nostrils are be-
coming gradually but surely fewer In
number. The consequence is that the
n~ostrils decrease in size, while it has
been found that the prevailing nose is
quite an inferior organ to that Of our
forefathers.
Doctors ct the present time are fre-
quently asked to operate on noses and
to enlarge them. Their owners have
found that they do not fulfill their funo-
tions as we'll as they used to. 1t Is be-
ginning to be feared by scientific people
that If matters grow much worse We
shall lose the use Of our nasal organs
entirely.
1t is q we'll known physiological fact
that unused muscles aud bones gradual
ly disappear. Fish who live in the
dark, for instance, or the mole, who re.
sides underground, become blind. Thus,
if we cease to use Jul noses for breath
ing, they will cease to exist. They will
become superfuousl-Peer sca's Weekly.
