Cooperation in Europe.

The first permanent station for kite flying in
Europe, and the first in the world established
under governmental auspices. is that at Viborg,

meteorological instruments which were carried
up by kites was done at the Blue Hill OBJ
servatory near Boston, but that is a private
institution 1t is worthy of note that the great

three niles were attained there. Somewhat
extended experiments have been made in the
United States, too, under the direction of the
Washington bureau; and while these may be
renewed in the future, they have hitherto been
brief, temporary and more or less disconnected

The City Treasurer of Edinburgh, Colonel Sir
Robert Cranston, who has lately been knighted
by King Edward. was called upon recently by a
commercial traveller. who wished to see the
colonel on business. AS Sir Robert, like most
of his associates, is of the volunteer corps, not

Uncle Sam Counting His Wealth.

The money in the United States treas
ury is now being counted by order of the
secretary of the treasury Twenty
young women have been chosen to do
the work and every dollar in gold, silver
and currency and every bond in the
treasury will be gone over. The Wash
ington correspondent for the New York
American says: Some of these swift
fingered experts have handled 10000
bills in day. The average is about p,
600. They are now at work on the $4O3.-
100000 reserve fund, done up in packages
of 1000 notes, regardless of denomna-
ton. This will take from thirty to forty
days, and then the young women will
tackle the gold coins, silver certificates,
United States notes, national bank notes
received for redemption, the fractional
coin and the mixed money held for daily
use. The entire count will take about
three months"

Women an d Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is

Jewels form a magnet of power to the
average woman. Even that greatest of
all jewels, health, is often ruined in the

money to purchase them. If a woman
