CHINESE SET THE PACE.
Proof That They Used the GreenbacI<
as Currency Seven Hundred
Years Ago.

A financial journal that has been
ielving into the mysteries of past
ages and the histories of other ma
tions quite recently printed fac
smile of a Chinese treasury note Of
the year 1867, probably the Oldest
piece of paper money in existence
This note was found last January
along with other valuables in bronze
statue of .Buddha which stood in a
temple within the Enclosure of the
summer palace of the dowager en-
press of China. italian soldiers en-
gagged in looting broke a hole in the
base of the figure and the paper money
tumbled out along with gold. silver
and brass coins, lentils, rice, rolls Of
PRAYERS. etc. The note was issued. ac-
eording TO the printing on it, "by the
board of revenue of Emperor Hung
WI in the year 1867" and its value is
stated to be 1850 taels" (about SOD.
II professed TO be "redeemable in sill
yer bullion"
Besides being the Oldest known
piece of paper money this treasury
note makes il clear that Gutenberg
was not the first user Of movable type.
The note was clearly printed with
movable type at date over 100 years
before Gutenberg began TO expert
ment. The German printer was born
n 141O. long after the use OF movable
type in China. It is asserted. in fact.
that the Chinese employed movable
type as early as the eleventh century.
The British museum has Corean
book Of 1897. Paper money in China
dates back 70 140 b. G. or earlier. Ae-
cording to Klaproth the earlier bills
were made of white stag skin and
were a foot square.

vermont's CANNING Factories.

X. Z. Payson d Co. OF Portland, Me-.
opened their corn canning factory in
Northfield Tuesday OF last week. This
factory was built in 1894 and has been
successfully operated every season
since. During the canning season 1t
gives employment to fifty persons in
side the factory and seventy-five more
are employed at husking corn. From
5000 TO Is, 900 cans are filled daily.
The product is raised by the farmers
within radius Of eight OF ten miles of
the factory and is considered one of
their most profitable crops. The COM
pany pays $3.50 per ton for the green
corn as it is picked from the field.
The average corn will yield tour tons
per acre, thus giving the farmer $50.
IL Is considered. that the fodder alone
will pay all the expense OF raising and
the corn. The waste at the
factory, which consists OF cob and
husks, is returned TO the farmer and is
found to be a valuable food for mich |
cows, as a test of its merits in many
cases has increased the flow OF milk 20 |
per cent. This was the first factory of !
its kind to be built in the state. There |
are now factories in successful opera
ton at Windsor, Brattleboro, West |
minister and st. Adams. All the YER
mont factories are Of large capacity
aud it is estimated that the output of
he five factories is fully equal to any
-en OF those in the state of Maine,
which is considered the banner state
n this particular industry.

CHINESE TELEPHONE,
Monaghan Merchants OF San Fran
cisco Have a System.
For Use Among That Race Only ana
Extremely Popular Among the
business Men-Great Feats
of Memory.

What is said to be the only Chinese
telephone system in the world is in
operation in the city Of San Francisco.
There are altogether about $4,000 Chi
nese citizens, of whom 1900 are mer-
chants. OF this number 270 are sub
scribers to the telephone.
These Chinese merchants were
prompt to understand the saving of
time and great convenience in the use
of the instrument. Though looked
upon, for a time, with some superst til
tious dread, familiarity has accus-
toned the people to its use and it has
now become an indispensable cor
comitant of the regular Office equip
ment. The central office heretofore
has been too small to allow any in
crease Of the subscribers, but the
company has recent.- acquired prop
erty and is fitting il up so as to ac-
commodate any number, 1t is expect
ed that with greater facilities twice
as many instruments as are now in
use will be installed, says the Scientific
American.
The system in Chinatown is entire
ly independent and is for the Chinese
only. To communicate with outside
subscribers a separate charge Is made.
A white merchant using the China
town system must also pay extra.
The Chinese subscribers can and do
use the long distance wires upon pay
ment of the customary charges.
Altogether there are seven China
men employed in the office, a chief
operator and three assistants. besides
three messenger boys who are on
duty day and night. the office being
never closed In respect to facility
the Chinese telephone operators are
quite equal to the whites.
II is said that the voice Of the China
man is superior 10 all others in the
with which il can be
by wires. In calling sub
scribers the operator, instead Of using
numbers to designate each one, as Gus
tomary among the whites, is compelled
to call the names of the individual
or firm that is wanted. feat of MEM
Try of which only a Chinese operator
IS capable; and not only, 1t is said,
S he equal TO this, but also carries in
his mind the probable haunt of the
nan required should he be unable to
ing him up at his regular place of
business.
The operators of the Chinatown
iystem are in no relation TO the metro
,olitan office. They are hired and paid
~ the Chinaman who controls it, The
main company install the instruments
nd keep the wires in repair, allowing
heir Chinese agent certain amount
or each subscriber, the agent collect
ng the bills and securing new sub
cribers.
The San Francisco experiment has
roved a successful one financially
nd is extremely popular among a
eople even as loath to accept new
leas as Cinnamon are; and II is be-
ieved that one result of the local ex-
eriment will be the early introduce
ion Of the telephone throughout the
Whole Chinese empire as soon as con-
itions of peace are assured.

the center of the car, where an exami-
nation would naturally be made, and
bales of cloth toward the ends. The
car was filled so that II had to be I'M
loaded before the cloth was found.
The value of the seizure is estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000 The duty
upon this class of goods is heavy. No

title as being out Of keeping with the
tenor of his poor existence" and the
pension because he was not in needy
circumstances; but the fact of the offer
and the generous language In which 1t
was conveyed startled and subdued
him. He wrote frankly to Disraeli:
ALLOW me to say the letter, both in
purpose and expression, is worthy to
be called magnanimous and noble;
that it Is without example in my own
poor history, and think 1t is unexam-
pied, too, in the history of governing
persons toward men of letters at the
present or at any time; and that
will carefully preserve it as one Of the
things precious to memory and heart"
Subsequently he wrote to his friend,
the Countess of Derby: 'Mr Disraeli's
letter is really what called it-mag-
unanimous and noble on his part. 1t
reveals to me, after all the hard things
have said of him, new and unex-
pected stratum of genial dignity and
manliness of character which | had by
no means given him credit for. 1t is
as my penitent heart admoninshes me,
a kind of 'heaping Goals Of fire on my
head and l do truly repent and prom
Use to amend" One needs no better
evidence of the real greatness Of Car
lyle than the promptness with which
he recognized this magnani1nity and
the manliness with which he acknowl-
edged it.-Youth's Companion.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
In St Louis in 1903 will be the first
in the worlds history in which hills
enter into the composition Of the main
exposition picture" The natural
topography Of the site prompted this
radical departure. The main "pic-
ture" of the exposition (the great
spectacle to be made by the big exhibit
buildings, by water and by sculptures)
is to be located entirely within For
est Park, the second largest public
park in the United States. The use of
half of this park, the unfinished por-
ton, was granted to the exposition
company by the city of st. Louis as
an exposition site.
This part Of the park is billy. 1t
contains a large level tract of about
400 acres, which formerly supplied
space for golf links and race track.
From this level the ground rises on a
slope of about 60 degrees to an aver
age height of 60 feet. The main ex-
hibit buildings, the big towers, the la
goons, basins, canals and statuary
groups occupy the lower level. The
art gallery and it's by-buildings (the
architectural chef doeuvre of the eX-
position, designed by Cass Gilbert),
the United States government build
ing. designed by ]. Knox Taylor, are
to be built on the elevated tract.
In the treatment of the intervening
slope the commission of architects
had scope for originality. The differ
ence of elevation constituted the chief
problem with which they had to con-
tend. Hanging gardens and series
of magnificent cascades fill In this
portion of the picture.
The main picture of the exposition
is roughly in the shape of gigantic
fan, the ribs Of which are the avenues
of the exposition. At the apex Of this
radiant composition stands the art
building on an eminence. Three great
cascades that issue from the sides of
three hills in the form of a crescent
are to course down the hillsides and
to empty into grand basin. The
water effects, radiating from these
three great cascades, offer a mile of
continuous water circuit.
The main entrance to the exposition
is to be on the side toward the city
where the exposition site abuts the
finished portion of the Forest Park.
A monumental entrance Of magnifl-
cent proportions and design, the work
of Chief Architect Taylor, will be To-
Gated here. The two exhibit buildings

she exclaimed:

next to me-"
Everybody in the room turned at the
sound Of the childish treble.

But why should l be afraid?"

the little queen replied: Because all
