SHILLING TO KISS THE QUEEN.
Death of q Woman Who Once Saluted
Victoria When the Latter
WAS baby.

The death is announced in Essex of an
old woman whose sole title to fame is
that she once kissed the queen for a
shilling. Instead of receiving the shil-
ling, she paid it.
1t happened a long time ago. A school
of girls met the baby, Victoria, but with
her nurse, and offered shilling each
for permission to kiss her. The nurse
made about G 2 by the transaction.
The duke of Kent cher majesty's ia
ther) reprimanded her, and said that in
future she must never take less than a
guinea per kiss. In honor of the event
the schoolgirls formed themselves into
the Society of the Queens Kiss, and
sent in fulsome addresses from time to
time. The old woman in Essex was the
last survivor

AN OLD TREASURY NOTE.
Issued In 1915 to Pay Arrears of War
Debt of 1912 Turns Up In
New York.

A certain $40 treasury note of the
series of 1915, which was lately for
warded to the treasury department by
the Fourth national bank some time
ago. is TO be paid. The note was re-
ceived at the bank about month ago
from the First National Bank of West
field, Mass. How it came into the pos
session of that institution is not known
here. says the New York Sun.
The note was taken to the sub
treasury and returned. as the officials
there had no way of proving its genu-
ineness, nor any available funds to cash
it. On December - the note was sent
to Washington, where after various in
spections, references aud conferences
it has been identified with others Of the
same issue. The issue was authorized
on February "a, 1915, TO pay arrearages
in the expenses of the war of 1912. 1t
was for $25.o00,000 originally, and the
act allowed the reissuance Of notes or
their conversion into bonds. OF this
amount $s,362 ,304 was actually issued,
and S7,1S2, ,740 reissued. The notes were
redeemable in nine years or convert
ible into government bonds When the
notes themselves were for amounts
greater than 500 they bore interest,
hut for less amounts were payable to
bearer and did not draw interest until
Aerted. ttarly al the Issue was
soon retired, and the last note received
at the treasury prior TO the one now
in hand was presented in 1s42.
The redemption of the note will be
chargeable to the public debt matured
prior to 1861. The note is held to be
good for its face value, because no date
of maturity is mentioned on it. Some
of the notes Of the same issue have been
declared worthless, it is said because
they were not properly stamped and
signed.

A Learned Working Baker.

A working baker has just convinced
the savants of Paris that there is no
royal road to learning. He has been
awarded a diploma of the Ecole du
Louvre for successful thesis on the
book of Daniel. 1t fell to M. Ledrain,
professor of the Ecole du Louvre, and
NJ. Oppert, member of the institute, to
examine the thesis. and they and 9th
ers had to confess that the bakers
knowledge of Hebrew was profound
and accurate. So brilliant, indeed, is
the thesis that an effort will be made
to interest the state in its publication.
NJ Gale, the name of this scholar in
humble life, has ceased to make rolls.
He has become a corrector for the I'M
primerie Rationale, and it is expected
that he will save even the most learned
from making blunders in their books.

Size He Wears.

"The boy" saia the Youngsters
father, according to the New York Sun,
goes through pair of shoes in two
weeks; they will stand resoling once;
so | have occasion to communicate with
the store where ! buy his shoes twice
month; IL times year to buy new
shoes, and ~ times to carry pair to be
repaired.
my memory is not the best ever was.
and l couldn't always remember what
size shoes the boy wore; so I'd have to
ask his mother when / went to order a
pair, but now / don't have any more
trouble of that sort. I've had my name
put down on the list that is kept by the
salesman in charge of the department
of boys shoes where / 60
1T has the names of hundreds of boys
on his list, with the name and address
of the parents, and nobody ever has to
bother to remember the size shoes worn
by any of those boys-they'r all down
on the list. The boys foot is fitted right
to start with, and the size is put down
with his name, and there's nothing
more to do about that until his foot has
grown SO that it needs to be reftted.
All that's necessary to do in ordinary
shoes for any of them is to say send
pair of shoes for William or John, or
James, or Charles, as the case may be,
not even specifying the kind unless
shoes different from those ordinarily
worn are wanted; and the same guide
serves also in the purchase of overshoes
and other footwear"
