CHINESE MONEY.
Some IL Good and Some Is Counter.
felt, but IL All Goes.


Emile Bard, Frenchman, has an
interesting chapter on the money Of
China In his book, Chinese Life In
Town and Country" He explains that
the unit of Chinese money Is the tael,
which Is not coin, but a weight of
silver-the ounce, Of which there are
sixteen to the catty and 1000 to the
plcul. The commercial tael Is that of
Canton, which should weigh 37.7S3
grains, but usually weighs 37.5S. Then
there Is the tael Of Shanghai, which
weighs 1866, and the revenue tael, used
In valuing imports and exports, and
each large city has Its own, that Of
Tientsin worth from 4 to per cent
more than that Of Shanghai. Business
estimated in taels is carried on by the
use Of Spanish dollars or silver ingots.
The former are weighed and stamped
by every south China merchant and
have to be remitted continually. The
ingots of silver are cut from bars into
pieces that the operator estimates will
weigh 80 taels. Naturally each one
who handles them weighs them.
Banks store their money in cellars,
In boxes carried back and forth by
coolies" says NJ. Bard. This explains
the item Of transportation which Is de-
Quoted from the face of a Chinese
check when it is cashed at bank.
One can judge Of the complications
consequent upon this system of con-
version of taels of different values into
ingots of different weight and purity,
especially as assayers of different To-
callties refuse to honor the stamps Of
other cities" In places where the dol
lar is not used small payments are
made by cutting up an ingot THE
scale used in weighing these fragments
has two sets of markings one for re-
ceipts and one for payments"
Chlna's national coin Is the cash, a
round copper coin with square hole
through It. The cash or sapak dates
from at least 2300 B. c. Eight pounds
weight Of cash makes dollar Years
ago an emperor decided to double his
funds by giving copper cash double its
value. In certain parts Of the country
this performance is still in effect. In
other parts II or S5 cash are counted
as 100.
In Honqn the Chinese go to market
with two kinds Of money, one real, the
other counterfeit. Some articles are
bought with one, some with the other.
Certain articles have two prices, one
In good money, one In bad.

Must Refund $3.50.

Judge Steele has rendered q decis-
ion holding that the action of the
board of county commissioners of
Nez Perce county in appropriating
the sum of $3.50 to the Lewiston In
terstate Fair & Racing association
was an Illegal act, and in conflict with
the constitution, and judgment is
therefore rendered for the plaintiff,
A. C. Eltzen of Nez Perce, who
brought the action against the board.
The case grew out of an issue be-
tween the Nez Perce and Lewiston
fairs when they could not agree as to
the division to be made of the money
appropriated by the county for fair
purposes. For several years past the
county has been making the fair do
nations, the usual sum being $500.
Last fall the appropriation secured by
the Lewiston fair was $3.50. The Nez
Perce fair also had request before
the board for an appropriation, which
was not granted. Later the two as
soclations met and tried to reach q
basis OF division OF the money, but nc
agreement could be reached. The
action was then instituted against the
board on the ground that the appro-
priatlon made to the Lewiston fair
was DISQUALIFICATION Tribune.

Nez Perce Fire Protection.

, The new fire equipment, consisting
of hook and ladder truck, two hose
carts and 1000 feet of fire hose, has
been received by the village trustees
and installed at the fire station. The
aggregate cost of the apparatus with
the new 70O-pound fire bell, recently
installed, will approximate $2700 and
affords a most excellent protection to
the business portion of Nez Perce.
The town has owned a chemical en-
gine for some time, but since the
completion of the water system a
number of fire plugs have been plac-
ed in the lower part of town and the
new equipment ordered to utilize the
water in case of fire. 1t is believed
a liberal reduction in fire insurance
will be granted by the insurance COM
panies doing business here and the
investment is generally regarded as a
most worthy one.-Nez Perce Herald

AMERICAN LANDSCAPE.

How IL Differs From That of Eng
land and the Continent.
The American landscape, even in the
older parts of the country, is generally
unkempt and does not lend itself as
readily to formal treatment as does the
typical English or continental land
scape. The owners of big estates rare
ly appreciate the scale on which the
landscape architecture should be laid
out and the patience which is neces-
sary to obtain a complete and consum-
mate effect. They want ready made
estates. Finally, the leading American
house architects have, with a few ex-
ceptions, good deal to learn about
the technique Of landscape design. So
far as the large house itself is con-
cerned, a convention has been estab-
lished which is In the main good
convention, but the designing of gar
dens Is still in an early experimental
stage. The stage properties are col
lected in abundance There Is no lack
Of pergolas, fountains, well heads, ga
zebos, statuary and pottery, but as like
as not they are mdiscriminately placed
The architectural features are, how
ever, generally somewhat better man
aged than the planting, which fire.
quently looks as II an Irish gardener
had been given some vague general di-
rections, or as II the lady of the house
had considered that 1t was woman's
business to make the garden green.
AS matter Of fact, however, the lady
of the house, in case she has her own
way, generally paints the garden yell
low and red rather than green. Her
idea usually is merely to get as much
bloom as possible, and this she does at
sacrifice of those masses Of foliage
which are absolutely necessary to give
mass, body and depth to large gar

Saloon Front Blown Ont.

The Senate bar, at the corner OF
Eighth and Idaho streets, was wreck
ed last night by an explosion, which
was undoubtedly caused by gas form
ing from can of gasoline in the cell
lar, which had become heated from
the fire In the saloon, and exploding,
blowing out the entire front of the
building and smashing every window
in the house. The explosion seems to
have spent most of its force near
the top Of the room, as the upper part
of the partitions and the windows are
damaged to the greatest extent.
A. ]. Volz, the proprietor, was sit
ting in Il back room off the main
bar, reading a paper at the time the
explosion occurred. The paper took
fire and he was badly burned about
the hands and face. He made his
way out of the building and was taken
to Ballou 4 Latlmer's drug store,
where DR.. Maxey dressed his wounds
He was then removed to his home

The River Kongo.

Tropical rivers vary greatly in vol
ume in the rainy season sweeping to
the sea in vast torrential floods and
near the end Of the dry season flowing
slowly and only in the central and
deeper portions of their beds. The
Kongo, however, the largest river in
Africa, rises and falls very slightly,
and Commander Cameron accounts for
this popularity, which was at one time
considered inexplicable, by the observa-
ton that the basin OF this great river
extends on both sides of the equator,
and therefore one moiety of its tribu.
taries are in flood while the other are
at their minimum volume.
