Passing Of the Crisp Note.

Selected.
The days Of the crisp bank note are
numbered. Instead of being crisp the
money which the government bureau
of engraving and printing will hereaf-
ter turn out Will be soft and velvety il
Important experiments which are now
being conducted In the presence OF
treasury officers for the purpose of
demonstrating the advantages of a
novel chemical treatment for paper
prove satisfactory.
The result of the adoption of the new
secret process will be to revolutionlze a
portion of the work connected with the
printing Of paper money OF the United
States.
Under the new process it will take
Just sixty days less time to manuiac-
ture a bank note than under the pres
ent method. The chemical solution
not only renders the paper soft and
yelvety but 1t also makes it non-shrink-
able.
By applying it to Japanese napkin
that article becomes as soft and pliable
as a tissue of silk. The chemical
preparation acts as an antiseptic and
preservative. When applied to old
documents it seems to knit the fiber
together and prevent further decay.
Under the present process OF printing
paper money the paper has to be thor
oughly soaked in water. While it is
in this soaked condition one side of the
paper is printed. The sheet is then
placed In steam room and kept under
high temperature Cor thirty days, the
time necessary Tor ink to dry. The
sheet Is again soaked as IN the first in
stance and the reverse side of the bill
printed. The thirty-day drying pro-
cess then has to be repeated.
In cases where third impression on
the bill is necessary, which is required
when the printing is done in two
colors, the wetting and drying process
mas to be repeated for third time and
another month is thus consumed In its
production. Besides the delay of this
process the wettlng and drying rot the
fiber Of the paper, and although it is
"starched" to give it the crisp appears
ance the starch soon wears out and the
bill becomes limp and worn.
In printing bills on paper that has
been treated by the new process no
wetting is necessary. The ink loses
none OF its luster when applied to the
paper as under the old process and is
thoroughly dry within forty-eight hour.

HOW WE CATCH A COLD.

A cold is sometimes contracted while
remaining inactive for while In an
uncomfortable room or cold draft
and by falling to sleep under like con-
ditions. But most colds are caught
while sleeping too cold at night. Deep

ronders the system susceptible to
change of temperature. 10 prevent

WITH THE AC HON TAKEN
Capt. Cheatham Is Authorized to
Make Payment on Different
Tracts of Land.

Captain Cheatham. who has been taking
an active part in the acquisition of the

yesterday from the War Department at
Washington stating that the government
is entirely satisfied with the security Of
fered by the Merchants Association in the
case of the Roberts land. The dispatch
further instructed Captain Cheatham to
make the payments on the land as specified
in the contracts, with the exception OF ROB

as soon as the security bond of the Mer-
chants Association is turned over to him.
In any event il will be but a matter or
few days until the land is in the hands OF
the government and work on the building or
the post can be begun.
In the case of John Roberts, who asks
$4,000 for his farm, the government will
bring condemnation proceedings against ms
land through the district attorney. Mr.
Roberts had not been asked TO arbltrate
the matter except in conversation about
the army post with an attorney, who asked
him if he would be satisfied with arbitra-
ton. The extra S., 600 asked by Mr.. Rob
erts was raised by the Merchants Associa-
ton, but only as a guarantee. The aSsocl-
alton has also given bond to make good
all other expenses that may arise in con-
demnation proceedings

The defense showed that Adams had been

A letter introduced by Adams's attorney,
in which the Chicago parties had minated
that there would be no prosecution, was
also a factor in the Governors conclusion.
The charge against Adams, for obtaining

MONUMENTS OF SHAME.
Mounds Erected to Men Who Were
Liars While ON Earth


While other nations build monuments
to the memory of men who have done
great and noble deeds, the Dyaks heap
up a pile of the branches of trees in
memory Of the man who has uttered
a great lie, SO that future generations
may know of his wickedness and take
warning from it.
The persons deceived start the tn.

the same time curses the man in mem

The Dyaks consider the adding to
any tugong bula they may pass sa.
meet with supernatural punishment,
and SO, however pressed for time a
Dyak may be, he stops to throw on the
pile some branches or twigs.
This custom dates from very ancient
times. 1t is interesting to notice that
though the ethics of the DyakS. even al
the present day, do not agree i'll many
and more advanced races, still from
the earliest ages the Dyaks seem to
have agreed in considering lie a most
disgraceful crime and liar man
who deserves the curses not only of his
own genera ton, but also Of people yet
unborn.
A few small branches, a few dry
twigs and leaves-that is what the tu-
gong bula is at first. But day by day
it increases in size. Every passerby
adds something to it, and In few
years time it becomes a large and i'm
posing monument raised to the mem
DRY of one who was liar
1t has often been remarked by Dyaks
that any other punishment would, if
man had his choice, be much preferred
to having a tugong bula put up in his
memory. Other punishments are soon
forgotten, but tugong bula remains
as testimony to mans untruthful-
ness for succeeding generations to wit
ness and is Il standing disgrace to his
children's children.
Believing, as the Dyaks do, in the
efficacy of curses-a curse among them
being q fineable offense-it is easy to
understand how Dyak would dread
the accumulation of curses which
would necessarily accompany the for
nation of Il tugong bula.-Straits Set
