NEW MONEY FOR OLD.
Many People Drawing Currency from
the Banks Request the Un-
uaed nlIla.

There is an unprecedented demand
for new money In reaching out for
the evidence Of wealth aesthetic taste
is asserting itself in the choice Of the
tokens Of prosperity New, clean.
crisp notes are in demand, and per-
sons do not hesitate TO ask for them.
says the New York Herald. There is
a strongly asserted objection to re-
ceiving old, dirty, crumpled paper
that looks as though it might be a
vehicle for all sorts of disease
germs.
This fact Is in evidence at the win
dow of every bank teller in the land
and at the cash counter Of every
store
"Please give me new money" and
"Will you give me a clean bill in place
of this one2" are requests heard
thousands of times every day These
requests are having their effect so
far that there is growing tendency
to pay out only the clean, unobiee-
tionable money. Il is an illustration
of the old truth that people get what
they want and insist on having.
Every bank will verify this fact.
Old and Objectionable bills go into
them, but they do not go out to their
customers. They go to the redemp-
tion division Of the national treas
ury where they are exchanged for
new money, and then destroyed

RUINED CITY OF copAN.
Work Of Excavation by Scientists on
Prehistoric Remains stopped by
Honduras Government.

All work on the ruins OF the great
prehistoric city Of Copan, in Honduras,
has been suspended by order of the
Honduras government. Extensive ex-
cavations have been made at Copan by
agents Of the Peabody exploration
fund, and great palaces and temples,
giant stairways and broad plazas have
been unearthed. Enough was uncov-
cred to show thai Copan was the capi-
tai Of a great empire, says the Phila-
delphia Press.
The government of Honduras gave
no valid reason for stopping the exca-
vations, and the custodians Of the Pea
body exploration fund hope to be able
to get permission to resume work next
year, as the prohibition seems to be
only the result of temporary freak
on the part of the native officials.
Meantime a wall has been built around
part Of the city and watchmen, living
in huts amid the ruined palaces Of for
gotten kings, keep away natives who
might deface and destroy the elabo-
rate stone carvings and sculptures.
The history of Copan IS written on
numerous columns and the walls Of
the palaces and temples, but no man
as yet can read the Inscriptions. Arch
aeologists Of the Peabody museum
have, however, mastered the calendar
of the vanished people, and, with this
as a starting point, are gradually max
ing progress toward the acquisition of
a knowledge of the language of the for
gotten empire
