Who Got the Money?

Alfred H. Curtis, cashier of the Ma
tional Bank of North America, Is wind
ing up the business Of the Bank Of the
State of New York, of which he was
formerly cashier. A few days ago an
uncouth countryman went into the Of
fee and said to Mr.. Curtis:
My sister owns twenty shares of the
stock of this bank and they tell me you
are going out of business"
st has been decided to liquidate," P"
said Mr.. Curtis.
"And they tell me you are only going
to give $170 for each share"
Yes, that is the liquidating price"
"Well, say, young fellow. didn't this
stock sell for $27O last summer"'
Yes, that was the market quota
tion," said the cashier.

eEAuTIFYlNe WASHINGTON.
Elaborate Plans Now Being Evolved
at the National Capital.

Elaborate Plans Now Being Evolved
at the National Capital.
The commission of experts who have
been studying the problem of beautify-
ing the city of Washington have wisely
proceeded on the theory that their duty
is national one The capital is in a
peculiar sense the nations city. Its
chief industry is the performance of
the national business. Its great pa
geants, as, for example, the Inaugural
ton, are national demonstrations, and
the people of the whole country are
interested in it.
1t was this spirit, indeed, that actu-
ated L'Enfant, the French engineer, or
landscape architect, as he would be
called to-day, when he laid out magnifi-
cent streets and avenues for city
which was then only struggling vii
lage in the wilderness. So admira BILE
were his plans that the present commits
sion found in them the only Satisfac-
tory basis for the city'S growth. Their
recommendations, therefore, are large
" in the nature of extension and con-
summation.
The city has outgrown its original
carefully planned area. The Capitol
and the White House are, Of course.
placed for all time, and between them
stretches the broad thoroughfare which
in L'Enfant's plan was to sweep un-
broken from the seat of the executive
branch of the government to that of
the legislative; but in Jackson's time
the Treasury Building was allowed to
intervene, and thus restrict the vista.
The commission proposes that the
wide mall from the Capitol to the
Washington monument. now encum-
bered by buildings and railway tracks,
be cleared and extended to the Poto-
mac, and that it be intersected by a
park running from the White House to
the river. At the junction thus formed
the monument to the first President
would rear its white shape, to be seen
through vistas of trees both from the
Capitol and from the White House, as
well as from the proposed Lincoln
memorial on the river front
The commission also suggests loca-
tions for public buildings, and proposes
extensions of the park and boulevard
systems. Its plans have been embod-
led in models for Congress to study.
The suggestions involve. of course,
the ultimate expenditure of a vast
amount of money; but it is not proposed
to carry them out in their entirety at
once. Rather will they serve, if adopt
ed. as a guide by which changes may
te made in the certainty of increasing
the reputation, which Washington al
ready enjoys. of being one of the most
beautiful cities in the world.-Youth's
Companion.

Most Famous Wedding.

Perhaps the most sensational cere-
mony of marriage that has ever been
performed in New York was the one
known everywhere in the United States
as the Diamond Wedding" 1t was the
union Of a daughter of Lieutenant Bart
lett, ef the United States navy, to n
Cuban gentleman of great wealth, Don
Estaban Santa Cruz de Oviedo. As gen.
erous as he was opulent, OTiedo lavish
dred thousand dollars worth of pearls
and diamonds. The nuptial rites were
solemnfzed by Archbishop Hughes;
Stedman commemorated the event i'll
poem, and moralists pointed to it as an
extraordinary instance Of the evils OF
splendor and luxury that were corrupt
ing American society. So great was the
curiosity to witness this wedding that
probably for the first time on such an
occasion cards of admission were is
sued to the church. A squad of police
men was required simply to protect the
bride and groom from strangers who
rushed after them. The magnificent
nuptials, it may be remarked, had a
melancholy sequel-the bridegroom
soon died; his widow. under the Span
ish laws, was entitled only to the right
of dover, and all the gifts which *,
had showered upon her were taken
away from her on the ground that .e-
gally they were heirloons. ..auies'

we are in the midst of a heavy snow

COSTLY TABLE SERVICE.

Wealthy citizens of Cologne have pre-

piece, more than four feet high, repre-
senting ''The German Rhine" which
gives expression to more ideas, per-

Beginning at the base, the twelve
feet bear alIegorical figures typifying
prominent industries of the Rhineland.
Above and within these rises a trun-
Gated pyramid. with a Rhine legend
In enamel on each of its twelve faces.
Next comes wall with gates and tow
ers, then a ring of twelve Rhenish

twelve Rhenish castles on platforms

rock of smoky topaz rises from an
enamelled Rhine. On this rock, sur

stands the colossal figure of Father
Rhine himself, gracefully holding aloft
an oldtime Hanseatic ship, carved from
an eighty-pound quartz crystal, with
st. Michael in full panoply on the
top.
This elaborate structure comes high
in every sense of the word, but we
consider the wealth Of detail, the num-
Der of objects and ideas represented
and especially the artistic gradation
of size from the little figures at the
base to the heroic Rhine god. topped
by the relatively small but absolutely
larger ship, we cannot doubt that the
worthy burghers of Cologne thought
they got the worth of their money.

POINTS ON BINDING TwrNE.
The Farmer Should Know How Many Feel
tie Gets for Q Dollar.

That the farmer is often taken ad-
vantage of in the way of misrepresenta-
tion by the store keepers is an un-
doubted fact, and one instance that has
come to our attention in the last year
or two, that has been very profitable to
some of the dealers, is in the misrepre-
sentation in regard to Binding Twine.
Vi late years there has been intro
duced into this market grade called
Standard Manila, which is colored
Sisal to represent Manila. 1t is the
Standard twine of the Eastern manufac-
turers, where Sisal twine is more large
ly used than Manila, because it is more
easily obtainable, and their object in
coloring it is, of course, to deceive.
Dealers handling this twine represent
that it is Manila twine. Manila twine
is never made less than 600 feet to the
pound, whereas Sisal twine is never
made over 500 feet to the pound, which
is 20 per cent less, and consequently
should be 20 per cent less in price.
The 600-foot Manila twine sells in the
Eastern market for not less than two
cents more per pound than the Sisal,
and consequently the dealers that can
sell this colored Sisal for Manila twine
are making this additional profit. The
colored Sisal, called Standard, does not
contain any more feet per pound than
White Sisai, so that, if White Sisal
Twine goes 500 feet to the pound, then
the Manila 600-toot Twine, being 20
per cent longer should be that much
more in price, and Pure Manila 650-
foot Twine, being 80 per cent more to
the pound than the Slsal, should be 80
per cent more in price. Consequently
the lowest priced twine is not neces-
sarily the cheapest. The milk in the
cocoanut is, how many feet do you get
for a dollar?
