Browsing on Banknotes.

Probably one of the oldest claims ever made against bank is recorded as having been made against the Ma tiona1 Bank of Belgium. An old peasant woman had laid on the grass jacket containing banknotes of small denom- ination to the amount of $240 in the pocket, and while she was at work her pet nanny goat had got at the notes, which it had eaten. The beast was killed and the chewed paper re- covered from the stomach was submit ted in support of claim for compen- sation, which the bank paid after yer flying the facts by chemical analysis and other inquiry.

the worm dieth not" was simply the dumping ground for that ancient and splendid city of the Jews.
 According to these same commen- tators, it was to this valley that the garbage and refuse matter of that great city were brought and dis posed of by open air incineration. It was also the custom to compel those convicted of crime, presumably those guilty of the minor offenseS. to work in the valley tending the fires, which were kept constantly burning, in order, no doubt, to de- stroy, as thoroughly as possible, the great mass of matter that formed the daily output of a city of that size. This is why, argue these clever non is referred to in the Bible, in figurative way, as place of punish ment and torment for evildoers.
 In general way, the term gar bage is taken as including any and all forms of household waste. The sanitarian, however, does not class ashes. cinders, tin cans, rags, waste paper, etc., as garbage. True, all these articles go to make up what may be correctly termed household refuse; and all constitute material, the proper collection and disposition of which, should be such as to facili- tate to the greatest possible extent it's sanitary and economic disposi- tion. And first in the process of col- lection is the matter of securing a classification or separation at the source of production. It is now com ceded by sanitarians who have stud- jed the matter at all, that it is more economical to separate garbage from all other waste material as it Scollected than it is to collect it in mixed form. Separation great ly aids in the disposition of it in a sanitary way. This is true, no mat ter what the method of disposition may be; it is understood, however, that in onr study of the garbage problem the out of date, not to say barbarous dump system is not or could not be taken into cohSidssa~

The Disposition of Garbage as Applied to Public Sanitation

ton as having anything at all to do with either the san1Cary or economic disposition of city's waste and ref use matter.
 It should also be kept in mind that the people have work to do in help ing carry out a public service of this kind. They produce the gar bage, and they can and should aid the municipal authorities in getting rid of matter the presence of which is a constant menace to the health of the entire community. The first duty devolving upon the garbage producing citizen is to make as little of it as possible. Next he should aid the city, which assumes the work of removing and disposing of this waste and refuse material by putt ting it into as convenient form as possible for collection and removal.
 Conceding the correctness of the principles thus far advanced as gov erning the solution of the garbage problem, a practical and effective scheme of collection might be out lined as follows:
 i. The provision by the household CT of separate receptacles for the family waste-one for garbage, one for ashes and cinders and one for general rubbish.
 9. Garbage to be collected in wag- ons which hold nothing else or in wagons. having boxes provided with partition, by which it can be kept separate from the general rubbish.
 3. Ashes and cinders to be collected in wagons nsed for this nl1rposa

AncIent slsyserapers.

Numerous conflicting estimates have been made of the height of the tower of Babel, but one fact never has been denied, and that is that it was a sky .scraper. St. Jerome, in his common tary on Isaiah, says that the tower was already 4,ooo paces high when God came down to stop the work. A pace is about 2k feet; therefore 4,0oo paces must be 10000 feet; consequently Ba- bel was 20 times as high as the Pyra- mids (which are only about 500 feet). Father Calmet says the tower was 81,-. 900 feet high, and that the languages were confounded because the archi- tects were confounded, as they did not know how to bring the building to head. Moreover, it is understood that the Chinese language of to-day was originally the same language as +ha hiQh German

W N DISCUSSING the problem .g%N. involving the sanitary and N GA economic disposition of AMkLI city wastes, it is not the. HsS<agSe@ 7lsfe@ purpose in this paper to
 advocate any special meth pd or device, but rather to present as clearly as may be the basic prin- eip1es underlying the whole subject matter.
 It will not be claimed, for in stance, that some particular make of mcinerator is a failure, while an other has been found to give satis- faction in every respect. Neither will it be asserted that incineration is the only method to be employed in garbage destruction, or that, on the other hand, the reduction or utiliza- ton process is alone deserving of serious consideration. M
 am well aware that, at the pres ent time, almost the only available literature on this certainly impor- tant subject, is made up of argu- ments and data in support of either pne or the other of the two systems mentioned. The trouble is that the discussion has been carried on main ly by writers who were interested in their subject more from a commer- eial than from a sanitary standpoint.
 Looking for moment into the his tory of garbage disposition, it may be asserted that it dates back to the time when the human race first dwe1t in anything like thickly set- tied communities. A study of the Old Testament disc1oses the fact that Moses was the first sanitarian of which history makes any mention. That great lawgiver, in addition to the moral code which he laid down for the people, also instructed them in what would to-day be called some of the elementary principles of home and municipal sanitation. In his day disinfectants, such as are now in use for the suppression and preven- ton of contagious diseases, were not known;' but Moses knew that fire, although costly, would do the work. He therefore told his people that in all cases where washing 9 dwelling inside and out failed to cleanse it of infection, it must be burned.
 Only a year ago, and while the Asiatic plague was raging in Homo lulu, the health authorities adopted the plan suggested by Moses and ap- piled the torch to dwellings in cer- tain portions of the city wherever the scourge seemed to thrive and from which it could, in no other way, be stamped out. Of course, it must be understood that modern methods of sanitation do not include such heroic treatment, save in time of great public danger, when it is clear Iy apparent that nothing else will so speedily and effectually protect and save human life.
 A consideration of the question of garbage disposal, or putting it more broadly, that of city waste and ref use matter generally, takes us back to the days of ancient Jerusalem. As a 1ayman, I, perhaps, should avoid entering upon a discussion of Bible interpretation; but I know that there are Bible commentators who assert that the Valley of Gehennon, referred to in Holy Writ as the place where the ''fire is unquenched and

Views on Ambition and
 Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia, wrote Eugene Field, "often incapacitateS man for endea- yor and sometimes it eXtinguiShes the fire of ambition" Field was dyspep- tic himself. Though 8 great man despite this handicap he felt the blighting effects of the disease all his life. Thousands suffer similarly. A weak, tired or diseased stomach can't perform the process of digestion. It needs rest. If forced to work it will grow constantly weaker. If it gets rest it willsoon grow strong again. Such a preparation as Kodol Dyspep- sia Cure will give it just such rest. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does the stom- ach's work. 1t digests what you eat. Don't diet. Dieting is neither more nor less than partialstarvation. Star vation never benefited anyone. If you take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure you need suffer the bangs neither of indi- gestion nor of starvation. Equally good for children.
 s'I consider Kodol Dyspepsia Cure the su- perior of any preparation for the prevention and cure of dySpepsia,. writes Mrs. Geo E. three years ago suffered spells of the most excrutiating misery. l tried many remedies but gained only temporary relief until I used tack since and whenever I feel symptoms of 8 spell, a bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure sets me right"

GALYEsTON,S SRA-WALL
Southern City Making Effective Protec
tion Against Future Tidal Waves

When the city of Galveston. Tex,
shall have finished its projected three
mile sof sea wall it will have barrier
of cement and steel along the ocean
front five feet thick at the top and
16 feet at the bottom, safeguard of
stone which will rise some II feet
above mean low water, OF foot and
third above the highest water of the
food of 1900 This wall will rest
upon piles and be protected from un-
dermining by shell filing and riprap.
The foundations will be laid little
back from the usual high-water line,
and about three feet above mean low
tide. A second and quite as impor-
tant feature of the project is the
filling in of the land back Of the wall
for stretch of some 200 feet. Thir-
ty-fve feet of this made level near
est the wall will be laid with brick,
SO as to provide walkway, if the top
of the wall be included, of nine feet
in width. Next to the driveway on the
bay side of the filing will be strip
of 60 feet of embankment planted
with Bermuda grass. There are large
possibilities Of artistic development
along the wall as thus planned, and
in their present temper the citizens
of Galveston seem to be intent upon
realizing these possibilities to the full
