A Financial Puzzle.

Here is problem in finance which
we submit to those of our readers who
are always inclined for an argument
on the money question:
A banker sauntering home saw a
five pound note lying on the curbstone.
OF course he picked it up and took the
number in order to find the owner.
While at home his wife remarked that
the butcher had sent in a bill for meat
amounting to f5. The only money he
had with him was the money he had
found, which he gave her, and she paid
the butcher. The butcher paid it to
farmer for calf, and the farmer
paid it to the merchant, who in turn
paid it to the washerwoman, and she,
owing the banker a note Of f5, went
to the banker and paid her note. The
banker recognized the note as the one
he had found and which up to that
time had settled f25 of debt. On a
more careful consideration he found
the note counterfeit
Now, will some of our financial
friends tell US what has been lost in
this transaction and by whom, if any
body ?-London Telegraph.

A Minnesota National Park.

Katharine Louise Smith tells in
The Outing Of the need and the OPP
portunity for new national park IN
north central Minnesota. There
stands today a piece of ancient for
ested America fact, the only
great northern pine forest between
the Rocky mountains and the At
lantic ocean which it is possible
still to save from destruction. With
in the limits Of the Chippewa In
dian reservation, along, the Leech,
Cass and Winnebegoshish lakes,
there are, as if ready and waiting
for this purpose, 611,592 acres Of
land and 219,270 acres Of lwater sur
face. It is the land Of the original
Dakotas and OjibWays, the cradle of
northwestern story and tradition.

An Orchid Dinner.

The most expensive dinner in the
social annals Of the capital was
probably the orchid dinner given by
the wealthiest woman IN Washing
ton
For this orchid feast the table
cloth Of purple velvet was almost
hidden beneath rare violet orchids.
Orchids were tied with violet rib
bons to the chandelier and to the
candle shades, and, these opportunii-
ties being considered too limited, a
frieze Of the precious blossoms near
y three feet deep extended around
the dining room. Even then they
were not exhausted, for huge clus-
tiers of them were the dinner fayors.
But, penetrating this stupendous
floral display, came an alleviating
Whit of garden fragrance from lit
tie sprays of lily Of the valley lying
on the plates beside the frozen
punch. That artless bit Of nature
gently muff1ed the. clink Of riches so
persistently suggested by the masses
Of invaluable dollhouse flowers.

TIVE ELIXIR OF YOUTH.

A new plan for retaining the
charm of youth has been evolved.
It requires a continual dieting, but
one so. easily followed that few of
the Inconvenience of most systems
are present. Eat uncooked apples
constantly, although, Of course, in
moderation, and drink distilled wa
ter only, and, according to the new
theory, years will be added to your
life, while the evidences Of age will
be long in coming.
Professor Bluefern is the sponsor
of the new theory, and his argument
IS based on the supposition that as
age advances the deposits Of miner
al matter in the system increase and
that aging is little more than a
gradual process Of ossification.
Phosphoric acid contains the
least amount of earth salts and for
that reason is probably the nearest
approach to the elixir Of life known
to the scientific world.
If you want to live long, to retain
your youth at the same time and to
increase your brain tissue, eat plen-
ty of apples. Don't peel them.
Drink only distilled water and eat
as little bread as possible. A d.
luted solution Of phosphoric acid is
also recommended by the professor
to those who care to take pains to
follow the diet which he has out
lined.
