To Prevent Pneumonia.

A Yell-known woman of Kansas City who has had a great deal of experi- ence in the care of pneumonia cases, offers through the Kansas City Jour nal, the following remedy to cold stricken people; Take a hot bath and put on warm clothing. Wrap your head and throat with woolen cloths and place a mustard plaster upon your chest. Then hold your head over a hot stove and inhale the hot air. Re main indoors forty-eight hours, al ways having your room at high tenn perature and free from a draft. Al the end of that time the cold will have disappeared

Bank Note. of AnolOnt r,mss.

Among the precincts of civilization which were familiar to the Chinese many centuries before they came into use in Eurc9e may be ckoned bank notes There is at this moment in the possession of the Bank of England a specimen supposed to be one of the oldest extant, dating from the four teenth century of our era. It is now proved, however. that paper money was issued in China as carly as 8O7 4. D. .aese securities closely resem- bled the famous French assignats in being based upon the estates of the kingdom. The Bank of Stockholm claims to have been the first western institution to adopt paper currency. but the Bank of England must have followed very close with it's E20 notes, which were lasued In 1896
