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, ac- cord.n9 to q resolution passed by Con- gress at Philadelphia Sept. 26, ITS 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 X Sellers. ITS At the bottom of the face is the signature of someone jn authority. The letters have so faded out that it is almost impossible to follow the characters. Some have imagined they could trace the sigma tufe of George Washington upon those lines, but others could not imagine what authority he had to distribute moneE at that date The rare bill is the property of Otto Flechtl of the Fieeht quartet of the Occur d'Alene 1t was presented to him at the Charles ton earthquake in 1S86 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 kent for six months while the treasury department investigated the issuance Of the bill + was adiudged legal, as the issuance 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 department.

A French correspon- dent writes that in France this rage for pewter is little short of madness, that fashionable women are hanging the side walls of their dining rooms with all sorts of rare and beautiful pewter mugs and with shelves decor ated with odd pewter plates. There is also a great fad for figures in pew ter, modelled from fife or the antique, figure, known as The Creole created profound sensation. The figure was modeled from life. and was charm ingly sympathetic bit. Since this f1g- ure appeared a number of titled wom- sn have been modelled in pewter.

CHINESE DRIED OYSTERS

 Chinamen

Come, l show he replied and opening the lid of big box, he took out handful of what looked exactly like oysters carved in mahogany. They were not shriveled and warped, like other dried foods, but were as plump and symmetrical as any well-condi- tioned bivalve fresh from the deep sea. The only difference was that they were dark brown in color and as hard as bricks When Lee Tip tossed them back into the box they rattled like a handful of marbles. Of course. l was greatly surprised. and before left 1 took pains to find out all about them The oysters are caught and prepared at the big native shrimper- ies on the other side of the lake The process is a trade secret, but as nearly as I could gather from Lee they are spread on the tops of large sheds and exposed to the sun for several weeks. What prevents decomposition do not know, for they come out Of the opera tion as sweet and brown as nuts. Last night tried some by special invitation sn the backroom of laundry run by another Mongolian friend of mine. They were brought in in bowl and was really delicious. The oysters themselves were firm but exceedingly tender, and had a peculiar peppery flavor. differing from anything else 1 ever tasted The Chinaman who did the cooking told me he had simply boiled the dried oysters in water and add ed small strip of pork and season ing. When 1 tried to probe into the seasoning feature he suddenly lost command of English, so there. l sus- pect, the secret resides l am told that the local colony consumes many barrels of these oysters every month. and that large quantities of them are sold in San Francisco and Now York.
