Alpine Routes Abandoned.

How few tourists now take the trou-

where the scenery is always grander
and more varied than it is in the val
legs or on the SUBMITS! Grandest
among these passes is the st. Gothard.
but the road over it is well nigh de-
serted. for the swarms of travellers
make no halt between Lucerne and Co
mo and are content with glances from
the car windows before and after en-
tering the tunnel. The Simplon is an
other impressive pass where the me-
chanics are now tunneling from each
end. The road travel over it is already
light during the summer, and when the
railway is completed the diligences
will be taken off and the route be aban-
doned, as the highway over the Great
st. Bernard has been emptied from
Martigny to Aosta.-Cor. New York

Though the Teuton loves his father

compatriotS in west end cafe, made a
few disparaging remarks about the kai-
ser. Later he sought quarters in hotel.
Early in the morning he awOke and for
the nonce was puzzled as to his lati-
tude. He remembered that he had said
something uncharitable respecting En-
peror William and got into a condition
of blue funk. as he thought he was in
for a year or two of Imprisonment for
the offense of leze majesty. Suddenly
he heard the .'mee-ow" of the milkman,

night. Many of the soldiers are well
supplied with money which they have
taken from the Chinese. An American

pie of ali other nations. The japanese

disappointment. He looks like a dry

looking soldiers here. and they have
the least friends because they are SO

A SIXTY DOLLAR BILL.
Probably the Only Piece of Money o
It's Kind EXtant.

Spokane has the only $50 paper bill
In United States currency known to be
in existence.
1t was iSsued at the first session OF
the Continental congress in IT'S and
carries with it all the crudity of that
age. 1t is peculiar looking document
being a piece of greenish paper OF
much the same material as the present
paper money, except that it is heavier
In shape it is almost square, with di-
mansions of about 4 by 31a inches.
On one side of the bill is written the
receipt, which is as follows:
"This bill entities the bearer to re.
ceive 60 Spanish milled dollars for val
ue received in gold or silver. according
to a resolution passed by congress at
Philadelphia Sept. &c. 177S."
On the back Of the bill is drawn q
bow with q set arrow. Along the mar
gin the value of the bill is again print
ed and at one side the words, Printed,
Hall & Sellers, ITS" At the bottom
Of the face is the signature of some one
in authority. The letters have so faded
out that 1t is almost impossible to fol-
low the characters. Some have mag
ined they could trace the signature of
George Washington upon those lines.
but others could not imagine what au-
thority he had to distribute. money at
that date.
This rare bill Is the property Of Otto
Fiecbtl Of the Fiechtl quartet of the
C9ur d'Alene. 1t was presented to
him at the Charleston earthquake in
1886 for the saving of an Irishman's
life. The open hearted act of the big
German toward his hereditary enemy
so overcame the man from Erin's isle
that he gave him the only article of
value he possessed.
Mr.. Fiechtl was DESTROYS Of aScer-
tanning the true value of the bill and
in 1893 sent it to Washington, where it
was kept for six months while the
treasury department Investigated the
issuance of the bill. 1t was adjudged
legal, as the issue of $50 bills at that
time was known to have been made,
though this is the only one which has
not been returned to the treasury de
partment. The piece of money has
considerable value outside of the
amount upon its face. The Spokane
man now in possession of the relic has
refused an offer of $1,000 for it and
says no price could induce him to part
with it.-Spukane Chronicle.

A Wall FROM MONTANA.
Cowboys Not True to Traditions OF
the ssWOOlly West"

Northern Montana is bewailing the
decadence of the cowboy-justly, IL
would seem, if there be truth in the
, report that two border outlaws chased
q dozen members of the Diamond r
round up outfit for 20 miles in terror
stricken search for refuge to the town
of Culbertson. Think of it, Twelve
doughty knights of the plain, blue of
lip and wild of eye, squirting their
horses to incontinent fight over sage
brush and bunch grass and ever and
anon turning their wan faces back
ward over shivering shoulders for q
look at their relentless pursuers! Pic
ture In your minds eye the scudding
Of a dozen jack rabbits close pressed
by a pair of ravenous wolves! oh, the
horror of it!
The report from Culbertson says the
cowboys were unarmed, excepting one
or two guns in the whole outfit 1t Is
a hard allegation. and public judgment
should be suspended pending the re-
ceipt of further particulars. If it be
proved true-ah. well, we of Montana
must blush for the shame Of 1t! The
traditions of the gun are dear to the
western heart. 1t has barked defiance

property of the cowboy comedy of
shooting up the town." and it has fur
nished ragtime music for many ten
derfoot to dance by. Has the west
ward course of empire relegated the
shooting iron" to the scrap pile? Has
It gone the way of the brown buffalo
and the preserved Indian? Will it no
longer dangle in menace from the belt
Of the bold vaquero? 1t would seem
so, for the report has it that the Dia-
mond r outfit was unarmed.
All the world will join in the north
ern Montana wall. The iconoclast Time
has shattered the idol of the wild and
woolly west" The long locks of the
cowboy have been shorn; his goatee is
preserved only as a memory of the
aging face of Buffalo Bill' Cody; his
buckskin habiliments have given way
to overalls and jumpers, and his brav-
cry is bound between the yellow covers
of a nickel novel.

dts, They will not believe it in the

An important feature Of the collection.
necessarily will be o series Of skulls rep
resenting the various .pconles. Of s'ie
world. Few things are more puZzltng 70
the student OF such matters than the dif-
ferences found in the shapes sof human
crania. The extremely. short and broad
skull Is exemplified by the Lapp, while
long and narrow. ----s
In Europe there are three different
kinds of skulIs-the long, northern type.
such as that OF the German; the short.
Alpine type. such as that of the Swiss;
and the long southern type. which last
r. found all around the Mediterranean.
Nobody knows the reason, for these d.
vergences In the most important part OF
the human bony structure, though 1t Is
certain that they go back to the most
distant prehistoric epoch. At one time 1t
was asserted by some authorities that the
short and broad skull was the best for
brains, but this idea has been fought
down by the Germans. who are them
selves so notably long-headed. One thing
not possible to deny Is that the high
arched foot goes with culture the world
over the fiat foot being mark OF low
physical and mental development.
In many respects the human skeleton
represents a type much lower anatom-
ically than those of some other animals.
For example: Man Is so constructed as
to be obliged to walk sluggishly on the
fiat of his foot. instead of moving swiftly
and gracefully upon one or two toes, as
do the horse, the Rocky mountain goat.
and the deer. 1t Is only in the hand that
one discovers an advantage in structure
which seems to express the application
Of a consciousness superior to that OF the
beast.
During the last few years the govern
ment has dug UP some queer human re-
mains in various places. From a pre-
historic mound in Alabama was obtained
skull that was completely filled with
snail shells. though for what purpose can
not be imagined. Near Chillicothe, o.,
were unearthed several skeletons wear
ing copper masks-another discovery In
archaeology. Most remarkable of all was
human skull of iron-not produced by
artifice, mind you, but 50 made by nature.
1t was found imbedded in a mass OF Iron
ore. and evidently It was inclOsed In that
way originally by some accident. in the
course of centuries the bone was disinte-
grated gradually by the action of water,
each particle being replaced by particle
Of iron, until at length the skull was no
longer bone but metal It's structure in
the iron Is perfect in every detail, rave
that the top of the head and the lower
jaw are missing. This is one Of few hui
man fossils that have been disclosed up
to date.
Gen. Kitchener's success in the Soudan
seems to have affected the skeleton mar
ket of the world In a marked way. Der
wish skeletons are now a special high
class Iine. and It Is said that these ath-
letic fanatics furnish the finest human
bones that have ever been put on sale.

THOSE FRENCH CARICATUREs.
vigorous Criticism Of the Blackboard
Journalism OF Paris.


Journalism Of Paris.
Much bitter feeling has been aroused by
the insulting caricatures of the queen just
published in French Illustrated papers.
One has given special onense-that In
which Victoria Is represented as kneeling
before President Kruger. who advises her
to be OF good heart, since she is only de-
throned in the opinion OF honest people.
Other drawings, however, are described
as foul beyond words. Caricathre has
long been too much licensed In the comic
journals of all countries. England her
self has not behaved at all blamelessly IN
this respect, nor have we Americans nor
has Germany, nor has Austria. Neverthe-
less, 1t, is veraciousiy urged, male poten-
tates have thus far alone suffered from
the sings and arrows OF outrageous ridi-
Guile.
Engl!shmen everywhere insist, and with
justice, that the long and pure life of
their queen should keep her personality
inviolate against ribald foreign assaults.
Undoubtedly rancorous arriere pensee
with respect to the Dreyfus case has slim
ulated the insults Of these French sheets.
But Great Britain, in her detestation of
all that villainy. merely shared the CEN
serious disgust of other nations. And IL
revenge be the sole impulse which now
agitates LIE Rire and its libelous mates,
then there is comfort for Albion in re-
fiecting that these were the papers wholly
sympathetic with one OF the most loath-
some prosecutions modern times have wit
messed. The true republican organs
those which deplored with eloquent sor-
row the disgrace of their country-already
condemn and decry what their neighbors
across the channel perhaps. after ALL take
too seriously. The best ruled city Is sub
to visit upon Paris folly and misde-
meanor of which troops of her decent
citizens are entirely guiltless.
There has not been war between Eng
land and France for century. If ever
it should come again there should surely
exist better reason for It than the ram
