DETECTING BAD MONEY.
Bank Clerks Identify 1t. often
without Comprehending just why.

Without Comprche just Why.
It seems wonderful to the casual OBJ
server that cashiers. bank tellers and
others who handle large amounts OF paper
money are able at a glance to detect a
bad note. Exactly what it is that does
expose the counterfeit the best experts
lind it difficult to tell. They say they
know it instinctively They Judge not
only by the looks OF the note. but by the
feel" of it,
1t is obvious that a counterfeit note
must be widely circulated to make 1t
profitable. No sooner does a counterfeit
appear than its description is widely
published. Those who are likely to suffer
by taking counterfeit notes make IL their
business to be on the lookout for new
Cnes, which are soon distiugushable by
some easily discovered mark.
A teller knows OF Just what denomina-
tions are the counterfeits, and just where

tects the spurious notes as easily as tho
reader does a misspelled word. It is no
particular effort. IL is habit
The principal reason why counterfeits
are so easily detected is because In some

FOREIGN FACTS OF INTEREST,

In the year 1899 the number of boys born in France was 432, ,33O, of girls, 415.2e1.
 Berlin is to have school for coach men, in which drivers are to be taught how to get along in the crowded city streets.
 Norwegian legislators propose that girls who do not know how to knit, sew wash and cook shall be refused Permis- sion to marry. Daughters of wealthy men are not to be excepted.
 According to the recent census there are in the whole of the German empire s7,374 physicians. The city of Berlin has 2,36O, followed next by Hamburg, Breslau, Munich, Cologne and Frank fort.
 England's Australasian colonies (N. S. Wales, Victoria, Queenland, South Australia, Western Australia. Tas- mania and New Zealand) increased in population 26e per cent. between 1861 and 1898.
 Japan has of late years greatly in- creased her cavalry and still more re- gently added nearly 40 field batteries to her artillery, and as the. country it. self produces practically no horses suitable for this purpose the necessity for importing them is urgent.

ject of pity rather than of admira- tion. This is the result of his habit of exchanging articles of clothing with those of his men who appeal to him for new outfits. It is one of his ways of retaining the affection of his men, and it is only by ties of affec- tion that they are bound to him. Sev- eral of the Boer officers wear dis tinctive uniforms with little gilt stars on the coat collars to indicate their rank; De Vets black feather is his only badge of authority.
 Gen. De Wet is a many sided man. Although he has a most gentle dis position, he frequently displays a vi- olent temper. He is the intimate friend of all the men in his com mandos, yet when there is a duty for them to perform he is cuttingly stern with them, and temporarily there is wide gulf between them. For many years before the war he was the most bitter Anglophobe in the Free State raad; now as soon as British soldier falls into his hands he will in- sist that the prisoner have the best treatment that it is possible to give him. While forming the plans for a battle movement he discusses the subject thoroughly with anybody and
 everybody, but as soon as he com mences to carry the plan into ef-
 feet he becomes dumb and refuses to
 disclose his purposes even to his most trusted lieutenants. Although he relishes victory as keenly as anyone, he will not allow one of his
 burghers to cheer or display other
 signs of joy after battle is won. | Unschooled in the tactics of war, he | is master tactician: born outside the breastworks of civilization, he is | noble in manner and deportment; a | bitter enemy of the British, yet he is 1 a stanch admirer of their capapble
 men. De Wet is rough. honest, and fearless, a devoted friend and
 vengeful enemy; he is a marvellous
 enachronism as warrior. At Lind l lev, he ordered his brother, Gen. Pe- | ter De Wet, to move his commando to ] certain position. The brother questioned the advisability of the
 movement and the commandant-gen- l eral promptly appointed another l general to take his place, whereupon
 Peter De Wet surrendered to the l British.
 l By his men the general is regarded l as the greatest humorist in the com
 mandos, and they are constantly en- | toying his jokes.

commotlon in . Monkey Cage.


 Monkeys big and little in an in- discriminate fight demanded the att tention of the keepers of the zoo the other afternoon, and it required half an hour before the combatants could be separated. A piece of a juicy apple was responsible for the trouble, and while the fight went on a sly ape sat in one corner of the cage quietly munching the apple and watching his companions quarrel. An old lady, accompanied by a lad of perhaps r years, entered the zoo in the afternoon and made direct for the cage containing the monkeys. The monkeys swarmed to the end of the cage, waiting patiently for the usual piece of cake or peanut. Leis- urely cutting off large slice of an apple the old lady threw it into the cage and watched them scramble for it. Each one did. his tb best to se- cure it and in an Instant there was pandemonium. Nothing could be seen but a struggling mass of mon keys rolling from one end of the cage to the other. biting, scratching and yelling. The sentFance of the :, ,keepefs only made sthis worse.

HERO OF THE BOERS
Gen. Christian De Wet Is Many
 Sided Character.
He h Brave, Agile and Fall of Quiet Humor-Haa . Gentle DisPositiOns But Frequently Displays Vio-
 lent Temper.

The meager dispatches which come to us from South Africa give but lit tie insight into the character of the man whose name is daily associat ted with all the great events TOW occur ring in that country, writes Howard 'C. Hillegas, in the Worlds Work. To the majority of people the name De Wet is suggestive of the quiNotic: he appears to us in the light of a char acter in fiction rather than as a man of present action; his work is so remarkable that we can hard y credit to his age.
 Since the beginning of the war al- most every British general and sol dier in South Africa has at one time or another been bent upon the cap ture of this one man. A half-score of times the ending of the pursuit has been clearly defined, yet invari- ably he has escaped from the encir- cling cordon of men and guns. He has outfought, outwitted and out generated his opponents at every turn. He has done even more than escape from his pursuers. He has made more than 5000 prisoners of war, he has destroyed many millions of dollars worth of his enemy's mu- nitions, he and his small army of 10,- 900 men have subsisted for more than six months exclusively on the food and ammunition taken in bat tie, and, more than all, he has re- juvenated a cause that seemed to be lost beyond reclaim when Pretoria fell into British hands.
 In personal appearance Gen. Dewet is easily surpassed by every burgher in his commandos. In searching for the commander-in-chi of the forces, one would choose everyone else first. He is not as tall as the average Boer, and he is much less handsome. Usu- ally his clothing is a s ragged as that of the poorest burgher, and when he is astride of his favorite old horse the mmandant-general is an ob-
