NOTES OF ALL NATIONS.
One Russian Bill bears All the CoI-
Ors of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Currency.

The Bank Of England note is about
SKIS inches in dimensions. and is printed
in black ink on irish linen water-marked
paper. plain white, with ragged edges.
The notes of the Bank de France are
made Of white. water-marked, printed
in blue and black. with numerous myth
clogieal and allegorical pictures, and
run in dimensions from the 20-franc
note TO the 1900 franc.
South American currency is about
the size and general appearance of
American notes, except that cinnamon
brown and slate blue are the prevailing
colors.
The German currency is rather ar
tistic. The notes are printed in green
and black.
The Chinese paper currency is in red,
white and yellow paper, with gilt let
tering and gorgeous little hand-drawn
devices. The notes, to the ordinary
ffnancier, might pass for washing bills.
Italian notes are of all shapes, sizes
and colors. The smaller bills-fve and
ten-lire notes-are printed on white pa
rer in pink, blue and carmine inks, and
are ornamented with finely-engraved
vigEette of King Humbert.
The 100-ruble note CT Russia is barred
from top to bottom with all the colors
Of the rainbow, blended as when shown
through prism. La the center. in bold
relief, stands a large finely executed
vignette Of Empress Catherine l. This
is in black. The other engraving is
done in dark and light brown black
inks.
The Norwegians have a curious cur
rency, but it is rarely seen out of its
own country, for the reason it cireulates
very little among the common people
and the class that emigrate. These
stick to their copper and silver coins
and shun the little cinnamon brown
bills Of their government.
The Austrian note is printed on light
colored thick paper which shows none
of the silk fiber marks or geometric
lines used as protection against coun-
terfeiting.-Pit-Bits.

THE PALMIsT's REVENGE.
How Lsska Turned abe Tables on
an IrascfbIe sconer who An
moyed Him.

The latest adept in palmistry to ex-
cite attention IN New York is a young
man named Laska, who is said to have
created a Juror in certain cultured cir
cles. Laska is an interesting character.
and by no means unknown in New Or
leans, says the Times Democrat. He
stayed several weeks in this city few
years ago, and gave numerous private
exhibitions of his skill, at one of which
q little incident occurred which is re-
called with much amusement by every
body who witnessed it. Among those
present on the occasion referred to was
a gentleman who regarded palmistry
as an out-and-out humbug and took no
pains to conceal his opinion. His com
ments as the hand reading proceeded
were uDcomfortably candid, and il was
easy to see that Lasloa was having diff
Guilty in holding his temper in leash.
His black eyes blazed, but he made no
retort, and finally toward the close of
the evening somebody proposed that he
try his powers on the skeptic.
The gentleman was rather reluctant,
but he finally allowed himself to be per-
suaded and stepped forward with ow&-
stretched hand. Laska glanced at the
open palm, and an expression of
mingled horror and pity overspread his
mobile face. For the first time he
seemed to lose his self-coutrol. and in
apparently deep agitation he STAN
mered out: II would rather read this
hand in private"
The effect which the announcement
produced may be imagined, and the
party broke up amid much embarrass-
ment. The skeptical gentleman was
extremely indignant, but Laska de-
parted smiling quietly to himself. He
had had his revenge.

Lack of knowledge.

The want of acquaintance with diff
ferent foods, their chemical elements,
uses and value in the body, together
with the false impressions acquired
through lack of knowledge of ones self.
has much to do with early breakdowns.
More than half of the diseases which
embitter the middle and latter portions
of our lives are due to avoidabl errors
in diet. Old age is certainly not desir-
able unless it be accompanied by per-
feet health. As civilization increases,
and our knowledge of how TO live be-
comes better and clearer, health and
length of life must also increase. A
perfect old age has its foundation laid
in youth. One cannot dissipate for 25
or 80 years and then expect happiness
and health for the asking. Where re-
pairs seem quite perfect, trouble is
continually cropping out. Decrepit old
age has frequently its origin at birth.
These so-called Inherited troubles are,

follow. Happily for this generation.
the intelligent training of the modern
nurse removes such dangers.-Ladies'

simple Ceremonies Observed at
Christmas and New Year Times.


Christmas and New Year Times.
No more law-abiding and generally
upright citizens are to be found in the
republic than the Moravians at Lititz.
Pa. Their Christmas and New Year
observances are Enthusiastically sim
pie. At the appointed hour on Christ
mas eve the services of the church com
mence with instrumental music by the
choir, after which the pastor reads the
sacred history of the birth of Christ,
when all partal1e of a love-feast, con-
sisting Of Glove feast cake and mug
of hot coffee. The choir again per-
forms a piece of sacred music, near the
conclusion of which all the little chii-
dren are served with lighted wax can
die about four inches long, which they
hold in their hands until the close of
the ceremony. The Moravians have a.
number of queer customs, among 9TH
ers that of assembling in church before
day on Easter morning and marching
in procession to the graveyard torthe
sound of plaintive music, and sound
ing funeral dirge for each member of
the community who has died during
the preceding year.
On New Year eve the people also re-
pair to the church about seven o'clock
and pass the time in reading the Scrip
lures, listening to sermon, etc, until
within few minutes of 10 o'clock.
The congregation then unite in solemn
prayer, but at the first stroke of the
clock in the steeple that proclaims the
birth of the new year the band sta
toned in the choir ~-rikes up tre-
mendous clangor of v, leone, in which
comets, flutes, dulcimer and all kinds
OF Instruments help to swell the joyful
strain. After performing for several
minutes the congregation interchange
congregations and retire to their re-
spective homes.

CAKE WALKERS.
A Place I'm Chicago Where Good Ome@
Are Turned Out Every
Day.

1t may not be generally known that
Chicago has a factory for the pro-
duction of cake walkers, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. No machinery is used,
the output being the result rather of
circumstances. In one of the State
street restaurants, which is nearly half
a block deep and which boasts the
longest lunch counters in the city,
about so colored men are EMPLOYED
as walters, and they all wear white uni
forms well stained by the drippings
from pies and the slop-over from
liquids. About $3.50 O'Clock each after
noon the men take their lunch. They
all form in line in the rear of the res
taurant and march in single file down
to the front of the room around the
principal counter, countermarch down
the other side and sit at counter pro-
vided for them. The feature of the
march is the cake walk swing, which
most of the men practice, and it is no
unusual thing for those whom they
pass to overhear such remarks as:
Get dat cake walk move right"
Say, man, you'd never win no cake
with that walk on YOU"
IF l was gal and you walked with
me like that sure would pull razor
on you." etc.
Some of the men are said to be the
most expert cake walkers in the city.

ANXIOUS TO MARRY
lie Popped the Question Before His
Wife Was Dead.


Widowers, as well as widows, are the
targets for many jokes. Here is a
story they tell of farmer in certain
county not so miles away from ST.
Louis, says the Republic:
His wife had been in poor health for
some time, and one day he was called
in from his work because she was 50
much worse. The neighbor women told
him to hurry to town for the doctor. lie
rushed out to the stable, saddlcd horse
and galloped toward the village, few
miles distant.
AS he rode he met an interesting wild
ow. hewasinteresting because she had
been a widow but six months, and the
departed one had left a good farm to
her. OF course, she wondered why
Neighbor Jones was hurryiug so. She
called to him TO know what was the
matter. He pulled up his horse, turned
toward her and said:
"My wife is very sick They don't
think she viii live, and am on my wav
for the doctor" He paused and seemed
about to ride on, but a thought struck
him. He leaned over toward the widow
and asked. anxiously:
IF she does die, viii you have me?'
