the Contractor.
Work on taking down the Court OF Hon
or, which afforded such a beautiful spec
tacle during the Peace Jubilee, was COM
menced today. 1t is expected that all of
the decorations will be removed by tomor-
row evening. The arches and columns
which made up the unique court were
erected by contract, and after the celebra-
tion were to become the property of the
contractor.
1t it not yet known what disposition
will be made of the decorations. For the
present they will remain in this city and
may possibly be used in future celebra-
tions. The sale of the court to some other
city is also one of the possibilities. The
electric lights that made the court a seen.
of such imposing brilliancy during the
nights Of the Jubilee have been removed
and nothing now remains but the arches
and columns devoid of all decorations.
The flags that waved and fiuttered from
the Presidents reviewing stand have all
been taken down and nothing but plain
boards mark the structure. The Court Of
Honor by tomorrow night will in all prob
ability be thing Of the past and every
sign Of the Jubilee will have been removed
from the streets Of the Capital City.

LOST BANK NOTES.
Source OF Revenue from Paper That
Misrepresentation from
Nothing.

II Is a fact, that TO many minds, no
doubt, must be curious, that the Bank
Of England has always had a pretty
steady source Of profit in the loss and
destruction OF its bank notes. What
IL has gained OF late years in this way
we are unable to say, but during a
period Of 40 years preceding 1899 the
bank had made a clear profit Of R1,-
$4,000 from outstanding paper never
likely to be presented for payment.
When the destruction or the irrecov-
cradle loss Of a note can be proved, az
in the event Of a fire or a wreck II can,
the bank Of course will always pay
the money 1t represents; and even
when there Is doubt about II the cash
is paid on security being given for in
Identifying the bank should the note
ever be presented. The ESQ, 900 worth
OF paper-or 100000, as II appears to
have been reduced to-taken from
Parr's bank will therefore not repre-
sent a loss unless the crisp little billets
have some day TO be duly honored at
the Bank Of England counter. In that
Ease the cash paid in exchange for
them will have to come out Of the cot,
fers Of the plundered bank.
Many years ago a bank director lost
a note for 100000. But, being a man
Of credit, and as there was no doubt
about the loss Of the bill, he gave the
usual indemnity and got the money.
Many years after, when the man had
long been dead, the paper was present
ed. II was payable on demand, and
had come from abroad In the ordinary
way Of business, and the sum II repre.
scented had TO be handed over, and AZ
the indemnity that had been given was
repudiated by the heirs Of the mar
who had given It, and for some reason
could not be enforced, the bank ON
that occasion had to put gao, 900 on
the debit side Of the account, Fo,
once In a way they paid double honor
to a bit Of their W. paper.
There Is another story OF a sum OF
10000 which the bank in Its early
days for a short time refused to hand
over In exchange for It's own notes
They were presented by a jew, who's,
assertion that he had bought them wa,
not disputed and whose personal in.
tegrity was above suspicion. The,
had, however, undoubtedly beer
stolen, and on that ground the bapl
refused TO pay the money. The Jew
went out into the city and began 10
spread II abroad that the bank wa,
shAky and couldn't cash hls notes, ant
as he backed bis assertion by display
Ing his indlspntable paper The asser

Geese with shoes.

1t is not generally known that in
Prague there exists a goose "bourse,"
where yearly some 5000, 900 geese
change hands. Its most active time
lasts generally from about six to eight
weeks, from the middle of September
till the first days Of November. During
this time immense flocks Of geese are
driven into the suburbs, especially
from the districts lying on the right
bank of the Weischel. These are then
conducted at night over the bridges to
the Jewish quarters, the trade being
principally In the hands OF the Isreal-
ties. AS the geese are driven IN from
long distances they ore "shod," that is
TO say, walked repeatedly over patches
OF tar mixed with fine sand. This forms
a hard crust on the feet Of the geese.
and they, thus "shod," are able to cover
Immense distances without fatigue

the Seductive weed.

II may surprise many who enjoy the
ine flavor Of the Egyptian cigarette
to know that tobacco raising has been
prohibited by law in Egypt since 1890.
This drastic measure was adopted, Gu
%riously enough, to maintain the high
reputation Of Egypt's cigarettes. It
was discovered about II years ago that
many Of the smaller cigarette makers
were realizing large profits by mixing
the Inferior tobacco Of the country
with Turkish tobacco and selling cigar

high price commanded by the Egyptian
product II had won a place among
the Injuries Of the world, but Il was in
danger Of losing It's prominence

was finally decided TO stop the cultiya-

idsas In Neekwear That the Dainty
Woman May Carry Out
for Herself.

OF course everybody wears neckties
nowadays and the variety OF them Is
something remarkable. Some Of the
neckties worn are exceedingly pretty
and some Of the most fetching ones
are made by the wearers themselves,
and their greatest charm to beauty lies
in the fact that they are not skinny,
but have a generous lot OF lace OF mus
lin or gauze forming them.
1t does not require any great amount
OF c%leyerness TO make one Of these

needle and a knowledge Of plain ew-
ing.
The necktie should be long enough
10 pass about the throat twice and
then tie in a large bow In front.
There are a number OF very pretty
ideas for new neckties. One Of the
simplest Is for dotted gauze. The dots
are mere speckles and are sometimes
white, but as often black, which is a
novelty.

yard wide, and long enough TO pass

When the necktie - tied the knot
should be drawn tight, so that the CEN
ter Ia small and close. This makes the
bows look much smarter when they are
pulled out than II the knot was loose
and uncertain.
Another charming idea for a necktle
which anyone can carry out Is that Of
plain soft tulle, with flowers In lace
applied. The tulle chosen should be
very soft and limp, and should be in
cream color or ecru. This Is hemmed
all around and has the ends cut round
ed with a plissed frill surrounding II.
Above this frill In the center Of the
rounded end are applied the flowers OF
lace cut out from any pretty lace pat

case they are much more expensive.
