tinction Will be in the color of the seal and
in the marked eoloring of one of the large
figures. The coiors have been chosen. on
the United States note OF the denomi IA
ton of one dollar the seal will be red. on
the silver certificate blue. while for the
treasury notes some other color win be
chosen
This will be a distinct advantage to those
whose work IL is To count large sums in
bills, as all notes of one denomination
will be of The same general design. and
the character of the note will be deter
mined by its color, since an notes Of a
class will be uniform
II has been decided with regard to the
back of the notes to have them nearly all
alike. Green win continue to be the pre-
valling color-so that the time honored
name of ''greenbacks," by which the
Americans have been accustomed to refer
to their paper currency is in no danger
of being retired on a pension.
The unilication of the paper curren "
will simply do away with the necessity for
the distinctive colorng of the seals iIt
order to distinguish between the present
complicated varieties of paper money.

had happened to the water pipes or the

mathematician; Kansas is ready to move.
This hasn't been much of a year for corn.
but still we want sou to furnish sos coo

The Kansas hay crop Is enough to I'LL a

cars to carry the oats, 155 miles of cars for
the broom corn, 50 miles of cars for po-
tatoes 25 miles of cars for the fax, and %
miles for the butter and eggs.
But the mathematician has the floor.
and must be heard. He says Bring on
10000 cars to carry the 5l,000,O0O bushels
of wheat; they will make a string 773
miles long. We win load $50 miles of cars
with horses and mules. 100 miles of cars
with cows, and 500 miles of cars with
other cattle.
