 Not punishable

A SIXTY-DOLLAR BILL.
issued by Authority of the Continental
 Congress iu ITS.

| Congress iu ITS.
 Spokane has the only $50 paper bill n United States currency known to De ill existence. It was issued at the Arst session of the Continental Con- gross in ITS and carries with it all the crudity of that age It is a pecu- liar 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 dimensions Of about 4x31a inches. On one side of the bill is written the receipt, which is as follows: This bill entities the bearer to receive 60 Spanish milled dollars for value received in gold or silver, &C., cording to resolution passed by Con gress at Philadelphia, Sept. 26, 1778." 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, 177S.' At the bottom of the face is the signature of someone in authority. The letters have so faded out that it is almost impossible to follow the characters. Some have imagined they could trace the sigma tule Of George Washington upon those lines, but others could not imagine what authority he had to distribute money at that date. The rare bill is the property of Otto Fechtl of the Flechtl quartet of the Occur d'Alene It was presented to him at the Charles ton 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. MT. Fiechtl was desirous of ascertain ing 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. It was adjudged legal as the issuance of $60 bills at that time was known to have been which has not been returned to the treasury department The piece of money has considerable value outside of the amount upon it's 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.

Appalling Dangers.

It appears to be dawling on the minds of European statesmen that ap- palling dangers might arise from the armament and equipment of the Ori- ental peoples with modern weapons of destruction. It is estimated that China could readily put in the field an army of from a million to five mill lions of men. If these troops were provided with modern rifles and ef- fective artillery, it can readily be seen that China would be impregnable be- cause of the overwhelming mum bers it could command. It would be q singular result of the greed for wealth if Germany, in the event of war with China, shO find the latter using against it's invaders the arms and am munitions of war to semi-civilzed na- tions is agitatipg the English parlia- ment, and not long since an attempt was made to pass a bill in that body placing limitations on the exports oi military upplies.-Leslie's

------- MESQUITE COFFEE.
Texas Plant Said to Be Good Substl-
 tute for the Well-known Tree.


 tute for the Well-known Tree.
 The prairies of west Texas are cov- cred with mesquite bush. The name of tree would be more appropriate, as it often attans a height of twenty-five feet and it's trunk diameter of six been said to flourish best in dry weather but the truth of this alleged characteristic has not been proved by this season of prolonged wet weather. The rains seem to have benefited the hardy mesquite equally as much as they have the other vegetation which is found on the prairies. The mes quite is greatly appreciated by the St0ckmen Of west Texas. In times of extreme drought cattle have been known to live for many months on the leaves of the mesquite when the range was bare of grass. The mesquite tree promises to become of considerable commercial importance through it's production of a bean which so close ly resembles the coffee berry in flavor and appearance that one cannot be told from another when roasted. The bean of the mesquite has long beer used as a substitute for coffee by the MeXicanS of the Rio Grande border Of 1exas and in Mexico and New Mexico. A few years ago the possible conner clal value of the mesquite bean was called to the attention of a large Wholesale coffee house ill St Louis. 1 hlS firm sent d representative to west Texas to make an investigation of the product. Thorough tests were made of the bean. and it was found to he perfect substitute for coffee It was proposed to use it in great quan- titles for adulterating the cheaper grades of coffee With this end in View large roasting establishment was put up in San Antonio to prepare the bean for market before shipping 1t to St. Louis and other points. ThIs plant was placed iii operation and many MeXicans We're employed at low wages in gathering the bean Many thousands of pounds of the beans were roasted and shipped to St Louis. and 1t was said that the industry was very profitable. The next season, however, tlle mesquite bean crop was a compete failure, and the roasting plant had to remain idle. When anotner failure of the bean crop occurred the second sea- son the business was abandoned and the roasting plant removed from S4n AHtOnio.

DEAR IN ENGLAND.
Big Advance In Provisions Over Last
 Years Prices.

Years Prices.
 It costs good deal more to live to- day than it did twelve months ago. MT. William Alstrom of Kimberley road Nunhead, the general secretary of the newly formed London Coffee and Eating House Keepers association, estimates that e1 will purchase no more food now than 15 shillings would a year ago. For instance" he said to a London Mail representative, meat has gone up IS per cent. in price, flour 15 per cent, sugar 71a per cent, tea 121a per cent, eggs 15 per cent, bacon 30 per cent. entrants as much as 220 per cent, raisins 80 per cent, sultanas 60 per cent, butter 71a per cent. lard 15 per cent, and even such accessories as mustard and vinegar have increased in price.
 ''The coffee-house keepers have been obliged to raise their prices, for they saw insolvency looming ahead A large number have banded themselves together and resolved to sell no more halfpenny sups of tea, no more half penny boiled or fried eggs, no plate of hot meat under 5d, no plate of cold meat for less than Sd and no buildings at less than 4d each. Why, even our crockery has gone up 20 per cent" added the general secretary, "and as for coal and gas everybody knows what a huge increase has taken place in the prices of these necessaries. What has gone down? The only thing that is cheaper is jam

LUCKY PUPILS.

No Partial Payment," in PhiladeIphia's
 Public Schools.
 The school children of today have a great many advantages over those of a few years ago, but there's not one chronicled that has brought as much regret to former pupils as change recently introduced into the public schools of Philadelphia By it's prob- lens in compound interest, customs and partial payments are abolished. The head of the school system in the Quaker City is very sensibly of the opinion that not one child in thou sand ever has occasion in later life to use the specified problems, and so these lucky youngsters escape them altogether says the Baltimore News. Anyone who has toiled over a partial- payment example; who has filled both sides of a slate with it; who has sigh ed over it, and worked over it, and wept over it, and has finally gotten an answer that differed from that in the book-sometimes by a mere bagatelle of $200 or $300-can appreciate the good fortune of the scholars. They also appreciate the fact that in certain cases their own struggles with figures that wouldn't add correctly and that wouldn't multiply at all might have been spared them to the improvement of their tempers and tbeir nerves and without injury to their intelligence.

PRISON FOR YOUTHS.
France Provides for the Caro of Rick.
 Juvenile Offenders

Juvenile Offenders.
 Under the innocent looking title, "La. Maison Paternelle," there exists in France what might be briefly desig- hated as an authorized, aristocratic prison for juvenile offenders, says Pear sons Magazine. It was founded by legal luminary, M. Dc Metz. a man deeply interested in the training and welfare of the young. with view to checking the growing spirit of insu- bordination to authority, both at home and at school, which had become spe- cially marked in the highest ranks of society in France. One of the most salutary clements in the scheme of this institution is the absolute secrecy which is maintained in France. both as to the exact locality of this house of correction and the names of those who are sent there. On an elevated, some what bare, tract of country within few mi,es of Tours stands a large quadrangular building known as La Colonie Agricole, which is a govern ment establishment, and behind the chapel, which is situated in the center of the west front, La Maison Pternelle is cunningly concealed. 1t is q rec tangular, two-storied building, adjoin- ing the east end of the chapel, and the first thing that meets the eye upon en- tering is a huge board bearing the om- inous word Silence The ground floor is occupied by prison-like cells and offices; the upper one contains rather smaller cells and is surrounded by gallery, which shuts off all communi- cation with the ground floor. When boy or young man under age becomes inveterately idle, refractory or dissi- pated his parents or guardians can ob- tain the coI sent of magistrate, which is sometimes seconded by that Of medical man, and after certain papers have been signed list of questions re- lating to u boys education and pres ent or past peculiarities is filled up by the parents and the culprit, who, i'll this country would be licked into shape in healthy outdoor fashion, is sol emnly handed over to the paternal care of monsieur le directeur. The main feature in the treatment is solitary confinement during incarceration, be 1t long or short. Three months is the usual time But cases have been known in which it has been extended to one or even two years

 For a few days in each year and al ways in the month of September, the South Sea people have q treat in the way of fish-a small stream runner, smaller than tho Thames Whitebait and better favored. The natural hls- tory of the fish is obscure. It seems to be the fry of some fish, for when taken many have the yelk sac still at tached to them. The first that is known of it is when schools appear i'll the mouths of the rivers. The river mouths at all seasG..s of the tide seem fairly alive with the mnltitudes of fish not an inch long, but all swimming and leaping under the impulse of the instinct to ascend the fresh water streams Then they are caught sim ply by sinking piece of cloth III the water and lifting it by it's four corners at once.

Nerve Tonic."

One of the most helpful books on nerve weakness ever issued is that entitled "Nerve Waste," by Dr.. Sawyer Of San Francisco, now in its fifth thOu- sand. This work of an experienced and reputable physician is in agreeable contrast to the vast sum of false teach ing which prevails on this important subject. It abounds in carefully con sidered and practical advice, and has the two great merits of wisdom and sincerity.
 It is endorsed by both the religious and secular press. The Chicago Ad- vance says: "A perusal of the book and the application of its principles will put health, hope and heart into thou- sands of lives that are now suffering through nervous impairment"
 The book is $l.OO, by mail, postpaid.

LASs0HS MOUNTAIN LI0NS.:
Cal, Kills wilA A.iaals with Riata.

There are few men who have had courage or skill to lasso a mountain lion on . mountain and make him cap tive. But there is an old cattle rider in Santa Barbara county, Cal, who the other day roped two lions, and with out the use of gun or club killed both. He is Bico Bejarra, a vaquero of San Marco'srandh, near Santa Barbara. Not only did he lasso these lions, but he caught them out of two big syca- mores, where, 35 feet from the ground, they crouehed. treed by shep- herd dogs.
 The dogs got the lions up and e party went to shoot them. c. c. Lamb, a cattleman, would have killed them, but Bejara stopped him, saying he would furnish sport for the company.
 Riding his trained pony close to the tree, Bejarra lassoed one of the lions. Tho animal was roped around the body and as the riata frightened the beast was drawn, snarling, missing and clawing, to the ground. Keeping out of its way, Bico worried it to death. It struggled and fought, but was soon brought where it was ready to have its throat cut. Meantime the second lion had been closely watched. :. It was next roped and the performance repeated.
