The hanging committee received
more than S00texhibits-oi paintings,
water colors, sculpture, engravings
and other art products. Edouard De-
taille, the great painter of war pic
lures, who is said to be the moving
spirit in the exhibition, expresses
amazement at the great merit of the
work in majority Of cases. A large
majority of the objects sent in will be

lar Notes Before Betting.
Large numbers of clipped So bills
have reached the treasury department
at Washington for redemption in the
last three years. These bills are all
cornerless. That is, all four corners
have either been torn off or neatly
cut off with scissors or knife.
The officials who interest them
selves in tracing such things quickly
ascertained that superstition of rae
ing people lay back of the cornerless
50 bills. 1t was found that some years
ago the pikers in the racing game de-
veloped an antipathy to the 81 notes,
considering them unlucky.
Their method of exercising the devil
of i'll luck clinging to the So bill was to
tear or cut off the corners before put
ting it into play. The idea spread. 1t
infected the bookmakers and some
bookmakers who received large num-
bers of 50 bills in the course of a
days operations fell into the habit of
clipping with scissors the corners of
such notes as they couldn't unload
upon their associates.
Now it is reported that distrust Of
the 50 note is becoming general and
that the cornerless notes are appear

German Florists Produce Strange Eft.
fects by the Use Of Dyes.
Fashion in flowers has taken freak
turn In Germany of late and there is
great demand in certain circles for
blooms of hues not found in nature.
The flowers are cut with extra long
stalks few hours before they reach
full maturity Then the stalks are
put in water in which aniline dyes
have been dissolved. White carna-
tons lilies and pansies are the easiest
to dye and give the most natural re-
suits
AS the stalk sucks up the water the
aniline pigment is carried through the
ne vessels of the blossom and depos.

hours its color is completely establish
ed. Sometimes strange and even beau
full effects are secured by stopping the
coloring process before it is complete
The white petals will then be delicate
ly veined with green or red-these be-
ing the colors most successfully used.
Since the discovery that the flowers
are simply dyed there is a great out
cry among foriculturists, who pro-
nounce the process an outrageous
fraud OH nature, both inartistic and
vulgar. This does not prevent the de.
mand for the dyed flowers from
spreading.

turtles, while, furthermore, this roof
has granulated appearance recalling
that presented by the skulls Of certain

A Few Corrections.

A few things picked up from child's
schoolbook: Never say, Il don't think
it will rain" What you mean is, Il do
think it will not rain" "All over the
world" is bad; say "Over all the world"
1.-THE reason Why is not only incorrect,
but doesn't sound as we'll as 1.-THE rea
son that" In the King James version
of the Bible, quoted by some authori-
ties as a standard of pure English, one
may find the following, which occurs
in Isaiah xxxvii, Sc: ''Then the angel Of
the Lord went forth and smote in the
camp Of the Assyrians a hundred and
fourscore and five thousand and when
they arose early in the morning, be-
hold they were all dead corpses." In
other words, the corpses arose early in
the morning and found themselves
dead. Don't say ga man fell off the
dock" A man might fall into a dock,
but to say that he fell off dock is no
better than to say he fell off hole.

Too Muck Exercise.

Unfortunately a good many men have
the conviction that they must keep
exerting themselves all the time They
call every moment wasted which is
not spent in activity of some kind,
either physical or mental Such men
are taking the quickest means to burn
themselves out. You cannot live well
and keep happy under a constant and
tyrannical sense of effort There must
be times of play, times to let up the
tension and to do easy and natural
things which don't require conscience
and exact attention. Horace Bushnell
the great Connecticut minister, recog-
nized this when he said, Lets go sin
awhile" Shining has the advantage
of being easy, and there are times
when the easy thing is the right thing.
A man who takes no time off for one
kind Of play or another. but who keeps
the anxious, conscientious look on his
face day in and day out. may be on the
road to heaven, but he will find that

Residents i'm the Lower Sections of
Pittsburg and Allegheny City
Warned of Danger.

Pittsburg, Jan. 15.-Flood warnings
were sent out late at night by the
local weather bureau stating that a
stage of % feet will be reached by
the rivers during the morning. This
is expected to be the highest mark
for the present, although rain is fall
ing along the headwaters of the Al
1egheny and about this city, which will
have a tendency to further increase
the amount Of water.
The crest of the flood early in the
morning was at Freeport and McKees-
port. Both the Allegheny and Monon-
gahela rivers are contributing to the
rise. Police of this city and AL
legheny City We're asked to warn resi-
dents in the lower sections of the city
and patrolmen We're engaged in this
work at an early hour.
Advices that heavy rains had fallen
at Confluence Oh the YoughiOgheny
and at JohnstOwn. on the COnemaUgh,
with flood stages in both rivers led to
the issuance of the flood warnings.

Didn't Belong to Colorado.

In the early days of Leadville there
was a singular character living by
the name of Major Martin McGinnis.
The major was the important man of
the camp, and when any distinguished
parties came to the city they were
received by Major Martin McGinnis and
presented with the freedom of the
camp on gold plate. The French
government sent three mining engi-
neers over to examine and to report
upon the mineral deposits of this To-
cality. They were received by Major
Martin McGinnis, who put them in car
riages and took them around the camp.
AS they were going up California
gulch the Frenchmen suddenly jumped
out of the carriage and commenced
to hammer and chisel upon a large
black bowlder that lay alongside the
road. The major watched them GEES
ticulating to one another, and he final
~ said to the interpreter: what do
they mean? What are they talking
'about?" The interpreter said, ''They
say that rock don't belong here" The
major said: 1.-THE deuce it don't! You
say to those foreigners that l won't
stand for them coming over here and
running down our country Tell them
that they can find anything anywhere
in Colorado"
The Frenchmen were right, however,
for this black rock was a meteor and
had fallen from the skies.-Leadville

There does not seem to be- much
doubt that the first bathing machine
was seen at Margate and that it was
the invention of a worthy Quaker
named Beale, who placed his hopeful
invention on the Margate beach in
1850. "The public are obliged to Ben
jamin Beale, one of the people called
Quakers, for the invention" writes the
author of "a Short Description of the
Isle of Thanet," published in 1896.
But it was the old story, the public be-
came grateful after the inventor had
been ruined by his enterprise. His
successors had reaped the harvest.
Old Benjamin Beale's widow could re-
member in her last days the first fam
lily that ever resorted to Margate for
the purpose of bathing being carried
