Art in Spanish Bank Notes.

To battle the counterfeiters who are
both numerous and cunning In Madrid,
the Bank Of Spain has pursued the
policy of changing its notes with great
frequency and retiring each issue as
fast as possible, says the New York
Sun.
The bank has now determined on a
new plan. 1t has placed an order
for series Of notes with an English
concern and it will rely for safety
upon a special color process. In adj
dition the notes are to present pictures
of well known buildings in Spain, ex-
ecuted with perfection that will defy
counterfeiting.
The pictures are to be so beautiful
that amateurs will be tempted to frame
Them" says one Spanish newspaper.

cials intrusted with the work Of re
arranging the flag, but it has not been
thought expedient to adopt the idea
without appeal TO Congress and through
Congress to the nation, for it is felt
that such an important matter as the re-
designing of Old Glory is matter OF
full national consideration.
Far-seeing citizens have pointed out
that in time the addition of new States
and the unavoidable division of single
States into double or treble common
wealths will so crowd the field of stars
as at present arranged that it will look
inartistic and unsatisfactory. The
greater the number of stars the smaller
will be the symbols, for the compare
tive size of the field cannot be changed
without spelling the flag and destroy
ing the appearance of the finest banner
on earth or sea. This problem is being
discussed by patriotic persons who take
an interest in national matters, and a
number Of designs are on file at the
war Office that aim to provide an ar
tistic and striking arrangement OF stars
that, like that suggested by the circular
array, will permit Of the addition Of a
great number of consultations without
making the flag look at little distance

Appreciated Advice.

Good counsel, thankfully received,
may not always be interpreted accord
ing to the preachers intent. An Amer
lean pioneer" of 1S42 gives an account
Of q sermon which resulted In an IN
derstanding far more to the delectation
of the hearer than Of the one who de-
livered it. A good Swedish minister
gathered a company OF Indian chiefs
and delivered TO them discourse on
the subject of sin and Its consequences
He enlarged upon the story Of Adam
Eve, the apple and the fall. His Ian
guage was vivid and picturesque, and
made a great impression on the red
men. At the end of the sermon an
Indian orator rose and said:
"What you have told Is all very good.
1t Is indeed bad to eat apples. 1t Is
better to make them all into cider we
are much obliged for your kindness In
coming 80 far to tell US these things
which you have heard from your
mother"

THE CAPTAINS REMEDY.
~@N~N~~


A young woman who recently made
trip to Europe decided to consult the
captain Of the ship as to the best pre-
ventive for seasickness. Having armed
herself with a letter Of introduction TO
the officer, she waited until the ship
had cleared Sandy Hook, says writer
In the Bohemian, and then approached
him. She described her fears, and beg
ged for a remedy.
My dear lady," replied the captain,
with an amused smile, you will not be
troubled with any Illness IL you will do
what | tell you. Most ladies confine
themselves to thNr staterooms. and
thereby incur the very thing they fear
Now II you will stay On deck, get all
the fresh air you can, walk up and
down, take good physical care of your
self, and try not to think of trouble
you will never be seasick."
The lady thanked him. She follower
the directions faithfully. and when the
ship ran into the tail end OF heavy
northwest gale, she never felt q ouajm.
She appeared regularly at meals, and
enjoyed herself thoroughly.
As the gale was abating, she be-
thought her that 1t was due the can
tain that she should thank him for
his good advice, and approaching the
deck steward, entrusted him with
message asking for an interview. Tn
due time the steward returned, saying
that the captain was unable to grant
her an interview.

multitude, but the multitude was not
content to have it SO. The brass-but-
toned conductor himself (who had set
a very bad example by eating OF Aunt
Hannah's cooking instead of the col
ored chef's) passed his official cap and
gathered In shining shower of sill
Yer. which he presented with q neat
little speech to Aunt Hannah.
Then the eyer-present tourist cameras
came into action, and Aunt Hannah
was taken with her big white apron
on by at least dozen amateurs Then
there were other snapshots, too-Un-
Gle Ezra in his Overalls, the great pep
per tree, the disabled engine, the per-
spring conductor, and even old Dob
bin himself
The old lady from Iowa and the
young lady from Boston insisted upon
helping with the dishes, and there en-
sued a merry clatter from the kitchen.
Some Of the young folks gathered
around Aunt Hannah's parlor organ
and sang Old Gospel hymns. or looked
over Aunt Hannah's plush covered pho
tograph album on the marble topped
center table.
AT last the conductor wiped his
streaming brow and shouted "All
aboard" and Aunt Hannah's beauti-
full party was over. There were hur-
ried handshakes. and one or two i'm
pulsive hugs and kisses for Aunt Han
nah, many CHEEKY words of thanks and
appreciation, and then they all ran to-
ward the cars and scrambled aboard.
Aunt Hannah. looking and feeling
twenty years younger, stood on the
porch and watched the long train as it

In order to obviate this difficulty 1t has
been suggested that the stars be placed
In a circle, SO that no matter how many

could all be provided for by the simple
expedient of adding consultations to
