New Bill. For old one.-

Not every one is aware of just what
the United States subtreasury will do
for person with soiled currency. II
any one has such bills. i'm no matter
how small quantity. and wishes to get
brand new bills, all he has to do is TO
go down to the subtreasury and hand
the old currency over the counter. The
government will hand him IN return
new bills of any desired denomination.
Perhaps under a strict Interpretation
OF the law the government clerk might
refuse certain biuS on the plea that
they were still tit for circulation. but
IN practice the government is inclined
to be very obliging, and, unless the sup
ply OF clean money on hand should
happen TO be temporarily short, the
clerk will without hesitation hand over
perfectly new and unfolded bills in re-
turn for money which has been folded
possibly only very few times
AS a matter of fact a vast amount
of money is turned in which could not
have circulated among more than half
a dozen hands. But it is all redeemed
and the new currency issued i'm ex-
change. The subtreasury supplies the
new cash, too, without any expense.
no matter if millions are to be ex-
changed.-New York Times.

Giant Hawaiian E.r.

There are three well known varieties
~ eel found ia Hawaiian waters. The
largest is the big gray fellow. which so
closely resembles his cousin, the con
ger. He is voraclous and fearless, and
the natives tackle him with caution, for
when cOrncred he fights viciousiy and
can iniiict a nasty wound with his
powerful jaws. which bristle with nee
dleliAe teeth.
The other species are fat, habby look
ing customers. with fantastic markings
of black and brown and many shades
Of gray. ON an eel of this sort the skin
appears To hang loose from the body,
and when disturbed the head sweets
like pun adder's. These cells seldom
attain greater length than three feet
and love To locate in the crevices of a
stone breakwatcr from which they
dart out necessarily and make havoc
among any school OF small fry which
may he innocently dispOrting them
selves within striking distance. These
hooded GELS have been known to haunt
a particular spot for over n year They
are good eating. despite their UMPIRE

There was once little girl who
found it very hard to wash her hands
Just before dinner. She meant TO be
clean for the table, but there was so
many things to think of that it was
impossible TO remember. Her mother
reproved her very severely one day,
and she promised TO do better That
day at dinner her mother asked the
usual question, Have you washed
your hands, dear?"
Yes" came the satisfied reply.
Her mother looked smilingly down at
the little ones hands, and then she ut
tered an exclamation, for there was
no sign that soap or water had been
used on them. "Why, your hands are
black" she said. Didn't you say you
washed them?"
well, just did, mamma. but was
afraid I'd forget. so / washed them
right after breakfast."-New York

Didn't Fear HI. Dead PATIENT,

There is n doctor of the old school in
one of the New England villages near
Randolph, Mass, whose house is sur
rounded by cemetery. The cemetery
Is behind the house and comes up flush
with the road on either side, running
on to east and west for an eighth OF a
mile. Some people might find such a
house lot doleful. and surely the neigh.
bors are not lively. But that thought
never troubled the villagers so much as
the prospect of going home at night
In the country towns of New England
the graveyard at night is still thina
OF terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves arc
dug on line running due east and
west, with the footstones toward the
east so that the dead may rise face to
face with the Judge on the last day So
the doctor is often asked the question.
Are you not afraid to go home some
times at nightT
And his answer is always the same:
NO. My neighbors will never trouble
me. They all owe me money."-New
York Tribune.

How BaIznc Wrote.

or all literary toilers Balzac was Ger
tainly the most eccentric in his meth
DDS. At first he would write his novel
in few pages. hardly more than the
plot. These would be sent TO the print
columns Of matter pasted into the cen
ter of several large sheets. On this mar
gin Balzac would work, sketching his
characters, composing the dialogue and
perhaps altering entirely the original
plot of the book For four or five times
this process was repeated until at last
the few columns had assumed the pro-
portions of a volume. This extraordi-
nary way of building a book naturally
ran away with a considerable share OF
the profits on the work.-Golden Penny

Primitive Fire Fighters.

As late as the end of the sixteenth
century in London the sole method of
eXtinguishing fires was 10y means Of
contrivanccs known as hand squirts -
These were usually made of brass.
with n carrying capacity ranging from
two to four quarts OF water. The two
quart "sqnrts'' were two and n half
feet in length. one and half inches in
diameter n their largest part and but
half an inch nj the nozzle. On each
side We're handles. and three men were
required To manipulate squirt
One man on each side grasped tho
handle in one hand and the nozzle il
the other while the third man worked
the piston or plunger. drawing IL out
while the nozzle was immersed I'm a
supply of water which filed the cylin-
der. The bearers then elevated the
nozzle when the other pushed in the
plunger. the skill of the former being
employed in directing the stream of
water upon the fire. Such primitive
contrivances are said To have been
used during the great fire of 1866.

PlnpIes.

A great many persons are troubled
with pimples on the face. which are un-
slightly at best and especially annoying
when they come, as they often do, on
the nose. OF course they arise from
some impurity OF the blood and need
constitutional treatment, but until this
is obtained safe and easy way of pre-
venting them is to apply arnica to the
skin. A pimple never comes without
warning. a few hours before there is
always slight Inflammation or swell
ing. and if drop of arnica be applied
to the spot when the swelling begins
half a dozen applications in the course
of day will drive the pimple back I'M
