A SlxTY-OOLLAR BILL.
It is the Only One Known to Be in Ex-
i<tenCe.

Spokane has tho only 500 paper bill
in United states currency known to
be in existence.
1t was issued at the first session OF
the Continental Congress in us. and
carries with il all OF the oruditv OF
that age 1t j. peculiar looking
document, being 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 dimensions Of about four
bv three and hall inches.
On one side of the bill is written
the receipt, which is as follows:
This bill entities the bearer to re-
ceivc 60 Spanish milled dollars for
value received in gold or silver, ac-
cordiug to resolution passed by Con-
gre>s at Philadelphia, September 26,
IT'S"
ON the back OF the bill is drawn a
bow with set arrow. Along the
margin the value of the bill is again
printed, and at one side the words
Printed, Hall & Sellers, ITS" At
the bottom of the face is the sigma
ture Of some one in authority. The
letters have so faded out that it is
almost impossible to follow the charac.
tiers. Some have imagined they could
trace the signature of George Wash
ington upon those lines, but others
could not imagine what authority he
had to distribute money at that date.
This rare bill is the property OF Otto
Fiechtl, of the Fiechtl Quartet, of the
Occur d'Alene. 1t was presented to
him at the Charleston earthquake in
1856 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 1898 sent it to Washington, where
it was kept for six months while the
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 had not been
returned to the Treasury Department.
The piece of money has considerable
value outside OF the amount upon its
face. The Spokane man now in pos.
session of the relic has refused an offer
of $1,000 for it, and says no price could
induce him to part with it.

WINKiNc HAS IMPORTANT USES.
What the Twitchins Of the EyeIid Means to a
Man Of Science.
Popular Science Monthly,

Popular Science Monthly.
No satisfactory determination has
been made of the reason we wink.
Some suppose that the descent and re-
turn of the lid over the eye serves to
sweep or wash it off; others that COW
ering Of the eye gives it a rest from
the labor of vision, if only for an inap.
preciable instant. This view borrows
some force from the fact that the rec
ord of winking is considerably used by
experimental Psychologists 10 help
measure the fatigue which the eye
suffers. In another line of investiga-
ton s. Garten has attempted to meas
ure the length OF time occupied by the
different phases OF wink. He used
specially arranged Photographic appa-
ratus and affixed piece of white pa
per to the edge of the eyelid for a
mark. He found that the lid descends
quickly and rests little at the bot
tom of its movement, after which it
rises, but more slowly than it fell.
The mean duration of the down
ward movement was from seventy-fve
to ninely-one thousandths of a second
the rest with the eye shut lasted vari-
ously, the shortest durations being fif-
teen hundredths OF second with one
subject and seventeen hundredths
with another, and the third phase OF
the wink, the rising of the lid, took
seventeen hundredths Of second
more, making the entire duration of
the wink about forty hundredths, or
four-tenths of a second. The inter.
ruption is not long enough to inter-
fere with distinct vision. V. Henri
says, in EAnnee Psychologique, that
different persons wink differently
some often, Others rarely; some in
groups of ten or so at time, when
they rest while, and others regularly,
once only at time. The movement
is modified by the degree of attention.
Periods of close interest, when we
wink hardly at all may be followed by
a speedy making up for lost time by
rapid winking when the tension is re.
lieved.

HOUSEHOLD BITS
Some short Suggestions which May
Prove Useful to the Busy
Housewife.

Enlargement of the tonsils is COM
mon affection among children. To re-
duce the chronic inflammation the tom
sils are frequently painted with glycer-
ole of tannin, mixture of one drachm
of fannie acid to one fluid ounce of gly-
cerine. In some cases the surgeon ad-
vises the removal of the glands.
A creeping skirt fastens down the
back, and is made long enough to turn
up under the skirts, inclosing them
like bag, and has string run through
a casing at the bottom to fasten it
around the waist (elastic may be sub
stituted for this if desired). a fine
gingham that is not too heavy is suit
able material for this garment.
Earache is one of the most distress
ing ailments of childhood. Heat per-
haps gives as much relief as any appli-
cation. The ear may be gently filed
with water as hot as can be borne,
poured in with teaspoon. The child
should lie with the afflicted ear upper
most, and after a short time turn on
that side and let the water run out.
Sometimes small mustard plaster be-
hind the ear stops the pain. 1t should
be left on only few minutes.
Bone letters resembling ivory, both
red and white, may be procured for
playing the various word games or aI.l
grams. They are, of course, more eX-
pensive than the cardboard letters, but
if used with care and not lost they will
last lifetime. They are invaluable for
teaching children to spell. The effort
to find the letters and arrange them
impresses the proper spelling of the
word on the mind as nothing else can
do as easily, and children thereby i'm
bibe useful knowledge under the guise
of amusement.
A blotting book makes an appropriate
gift for boy of IS. The outside is made
of brown or blue butchers linen
stretched over stiff cardboard. A mot
to is embroidered diagonally across
one side and the initials of the owner
on the other side. blot out the mis-
takes but not the sweet memories"
may be used, or "A letter timely writ is
a rivet in the chain of affection" Pale
yellow is a good contrast with the
brown and white with the blue. The
inside is filled with leaves of the blCt-
ting paper cut to fit the book.-Ladies'

FEMININE FASHIONS.
Chcviots for Winter Gowns - Smart
street Cosrumcs-Elegant Evcn-
Ing Wraps.

The rough diagonal and cheviots for
serviceable tailor gowns look heavy,
but they are woven so 'delicately and
made of such fine pure wool as to
weigh but little more than firm drap
d'ete. Some of the new expensive tai
lor cloths are silk-striped, and the
French zibelines vine-striped, the dark
surface flecked with bits of rich color.
Oriental cords or wool reps, as they
are called by the modiste, are figured
with effective designs in tricolor.
These are novel, and are used for por-
tions of handsome costumes for spe-
cial wear, and for fur-trimmed red
ingotes and princesse dresses.
Smart looking are the street cos
tunes of green or blue ladies' cloth,
made with princesse effect in front,
to which are added short boleros of
the cloth, which reach but few inches
below the bust, and are finished with
notched revers that turn back so far
that they cover the shoulders, and on
the fronts give the effect of one bolero
put on above the other. This effect
is emphasized by the binding of heavy
and its revers, and also by the rich
applique decorations on silk, satin or
cloth, the same effective garniture fin
ishing the circular flounce at the bot
tom of the gown.
Pointed, deeply scalloped, and grad
uated silk fringes were among the inn
ported novelties in dress trimmings
shown TO holiday shoppers. They are
in various widths and colors, from the
Tom Thumb variety to styles half a
yard deep and finished with very wide
netted tops. These revived trimmings
show also jet, chenille, and crimped
faille ribbon an eighth of an inch wide,
intermixed with the silk frnges of the
more elaborate variety.
The novelties offered in elegant even
ing wraps this season are all more or
less quaint and picturesque, and the
long curving outlines which distin-
guish many of the trimmed skirts or
gowns entire obtain in capes. long
cloaks and redingotes. The collars are
very high and striking in effect. and
the wide revers of fur often end in
jabot-fashion, terminating in sharp
points below the waist line. The hand
some cloth capes run the entire gamut
from the plainest English styles to ex-
tremes of French fancy and richness.
The lighter weights are merely silk
lined, the fleece-woven grades have
no lining at all. Almond, antelope,
friar's gray, and cream-colored cloths
are in high favor.-N. Y. Post.

A BACHELORS VALENTINE

II were younger Mary Jane
Would not so gayly fiout me.
Or II she did I'd make It plain
She could not do without me.
She will not be my valentine.
Forsooth, the maids are plenty
I'll venture that she would be mine
If / were one-and-twenty!
Why. forty years ago there were
A score could have married,
And every one outfavored her;
But then, of course, tarried
TIL Ann and Lou and Susie, too,
And all the rest 1 mind me-
Dropped me because, they said, they knew
They knew not where to find me.
But as 1t is the Widow Black,
Thank heaven, has some reason,
And knows that men. like fruit, don't lack
In worth II out of season.
To her I'll send billet doux
And state my fortune clearly
Some thousands. I'll admit to you
And she will love me dearly!

depths and varieties of insult not in
tended by the hack who wrote the
lines.
the valentine folded carefully, he took
the lines one al time:
'You talk and sabble all the day."
1t was simply brutal. He read it
again, and suddenly this question
flashed into his mind: "Do l talk too
much?"
He knew that the comic valentine was
always supposed to touch on ruling
weakness. Could it be possible that the
sender of this valentine had struck on
his (Walker's) greatest failing and
taken an underhand way of rebuking
it?
Nonsense! / don't talk too much,"
thought Walker. But if never talk
too much, why did anyone send me this
valentineP There's no point to the val-
entine unless 1 do talk too much occa-
sionally. But don't believe / do talk
too much. ought to know it if make
myself a nuisance by talking. Hold on
here! Had / ought to know? When a
man is bore and a nuisance, does he
ever suspect the fact himself? Is it
possible for a man TO go on, year after
year, deluding himself with the belief
that he is a sparkling and entertaining
conversationalist, whereas everyone re-
CARDS him as a pest?"
Walker was compelled to answer in
the affirmative. He thought of the case
of Howelby. Howelby is the laughing
stock of a neighborhood. He is a per-
sistent chatterer, an insipid story
teller, an affected and effeninate doll.
Yet Howelby firmly believes that he is
the most popular young man on the
South side, loved by the women and en-
We'd by the men.
"If Howelby has been fooled for SO
long time, isn't il possible that some
of the rest of us have been fooled too?"
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1900-02-09

In them. He had even advised his
friends in much the same terms. One
of his friends, Bradbury, had received
an unsigned letter, advising him that
he was not a civilized being, that the
people who congregated in his fiat of
an evening were little better than saw
ages, and tsat it was an outrage for
anyone to play the piano at two o'clock
in the morning, as at that hour all
honest men and women were sup
Posed TO be in bed.
Bradbury was very angry. He went
to Walker with the anonymous letter
in his trembling hand and asked:
isn't that the most insulting thing
you ever rcad?"
Walker behaved with admirable
eoolness- He smiled peacefully and
remarked: "Never let anything like
that worry you"
'Well. 1 think know who sent it.
What is your opinion of u man who
would write that kind of letter and
send 1t to you without signing his
name2"
bradbury, man who would do
any thinS hhc that ID sihPiy Dehcdth
contempt You can't afford to waste
any righteous Indignation on such a
cur. Dismiss the entire matter from
your mind. Don't be foolish. If this
fellow is too cowardly to sign his
name, simply throw the letter into the
waste-basket, and let that be the last
of it"
Considering that Mr.. Walker held
such sensible and cool-headed views
coneersing anonymous insults, his
subsequent conduct is not easily ex-
planned. unless it be admitted that it
is easy enough TO ignore an insult
which is aimed 1t some one else.
On the mornipg of certain Febru-
AIRY II, Mr.. Walker went to his bresk-
fast a: a later hour than usual he
