Money Carries Poison.
COLORADO.

Notwithstanding the strong popular
prejudice against tainted money, it is
noticed that most persons accept it
when it is offered, rather than seem
rude. 1t is the same way with green.
backs and coin which are objectiona-
BILE by reason of unpleasantness-wh
not say frankly, dirt?-acquired
through long service. Cash in such a
condition, whether paper or metal,
may be obviously filthy. and even dis
agreeable to the sense of smell, but it
is never refused Once / heard a man
say: Il will take all the microbes that
come with dollar bill, no matter how
many" This is undoubtedly the way
most folks feel about the matter, re-
marks Richard Benter in Technical
World Magazine. But undeniably the
microbes in question are frequently
legion. And, obviously, the older a
pens to be, the greater the number of
germs it carries. Neither paper nor
any kind of metal is food for microbes.
Thus it may be considered that note
fresh from the treasury or coin new
from the mint is practically sterile
that is to say, germ-free. But as soon
as money of either kind begins to pass
from hand to hand it ACQUIRES dirt and
thus becomes a breeding ground for a
great variety of germs, some of which
are liable to be those of disease. An
exact study of the subject has been
made recently by the director of the
research laboratory of New York, who,
summing up his conclusions in a re-
port, states that, as shown by micro
scopic examination, an average piece
of paper money, moderately clean,
carries 22,500 bacteria. On an aver
age dirty bill there will be about $4,000
bacteria. Most bacteria, it should be
understood, are harmless. but many
species are the germs of dangerous
diseases.

VICTORIA VERSUS EUGENE

THOUGH her volume of interesting letters
contains many anecdotal passages re-
vealing the crowned heads of modern Europe
in a new light, Madam Washington. for one
reason or another, omitted from her chronicle
the following incident in which the late Queen
Victoria and the Empress Eugene were wildly
contrasted.
In the course of rlong residence in London
as wife of the French Ambassador, Madam
Washington hidden to a private
theatrical at Windsor. where the French
Empress also was guest. 1t was the first
time" she says, that l had ever seen Queen
Victoria and the wife of Napoleon Ill to-
gether and the contrast was rather startling
Her English Majesty, though still in excellent
health was becoming slightly deaf, and was
very deliberate in both her conversation and
movements. On the contrary, the former
French Empress had never appeared more
charming. That one of them was born in the
purple, as distinguished from the other was
curiously illustrated.
The performance was given in one of the
great salons, to which the party adjourned
from the dining room. Reaching the chair
reserved for her, Eugene, who was born a
Spanish Countess, was observed to glance over
her shoulder to make sure that the chair was
in its proper place,--a natural, though pie
beian, precaution. Queen Victoria, however
sat down Immediately, without glancing at
her chair apparently giving it thought
AS a sovereign she knew, without looking
that the chair was exactly where it belonged"
