Shape, Size, and Color Of Paper Money
Of the Nations

Shape, Size and Color Of Paper Money
Of the Nations.
- The only paper money that is accept
ed practically all over the globe is not
"money" at all. but the notes Of the
Bank Of England These notes are
simply printed in black Ink on Irish
linen water lined paper. plain white,
with ragged edges. The reason that .
badly soiled or worn Bank of England
note is rarely seen Is that notes which
in any way find their way back to the
bank are Immediately Cancelled and
new ones are issued. The notes Of the
Banque de France are made Of white
water lined paper printed in black and
white. with numerous NEUROLOGICAL and
alIegortcal pictures. They are In de-
nominations Of from Is francs to 1000
francs.
Bank Of England notes are Of a
somewhat unhandy SIZES by 8 inches.
South American currency resembles
the bills OF the United States, except
that cinnamon brown and slate blue
are the prevailing colors. German cur
rency Is printed in green and black.
the notes being in denominations Of
from 5 to 1000 marks. The 1000 mark
bills are printed on silk fiber paper.
1t takes an expert or a native to dis
Nnguish a Chinese bill from laundry
ticket If the bill Is Of low denomina-
ton or a 6recracker label II for large
amount. the print being in red on
white or yellow on red. with much gilt
and gorgeous devices. Italian notes
are all sizes, shapes and colors. The
smallest bills. 5 and 10 lire. are print
ed on white paper In pink, blue and
carmine inks.
The most striking paper currency In
the world Is the 100 ruble note of Rus
STA. which is barred from top to bot
tom with all the colors Of the rainbow
blended as when sun ray passes
through prism. In the center In bold
relief is finely executed vignette in
black. The remainder Of the engrav-
ing on the note Is in dark and light
brown ink.

POLAR PHENOMENA.

The Mirage and tho Mock Sun Of the
Arctic Regions.
In the spring OF 1900 l changed
over to the steamer Corwin and sailed
for the Arctic ocean to establish q
trading station somewhere on the
northern shores Of Alaska. Although
we went on purely commercial ven
ture, there was q good deal Of talk
about the pole during the seven months
we spent in the almost continuous sun
light.
DR. Cook relates instances Of seeing
mirages above the ice f1elds-mountains
passing in solemn review and some
times inverted and standing on their
peaks-but he goes on to say that there

Thereupon. instead OF settling below

thousands Of small red pimples formed.
On becoming dry, these caused intense
itching. I was advised to 60 to the
hospital for diseases of the skin. I did
20 and was an out-patient for a month
or more, the chief surgeon saying: +
never saw such bad case of eczema
But I got little or no relief. Then I
tried many so-called remedies, but be-
came SO bad that I almost gave up in
despair. On coming to this country
heard SO many accounts Of cures by Cuti-
cura Remedies that I resolved, as a
last resource, to give them trial. This
was after suffering agonies for twelve
months, and right glad am that did
so, for I was relieved of the almost I'M
bearable itching after two or three
applications of Cuticura Ointment. I
continued its use, combined with q
liberal use of Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills and am more than
thankful to say that after using three
sets Of the Remedies, was completely
cured. I can only add that, should any
one be suffering as I did, hope that
they will do as I did, and am sure Of
the results. Henry Searle, 2O22 Cross

Going Into a Safer Business.

It was Cassidy's first morning as
newspaper carrier. From side to side
Of the avenue he hurried. dropping the
moist sheets in vestibules and running
them in the space between the door
and sill. Finally he came to house
that was separated from the sidewalk
by an urn studded yard. Cassidy open
ed the iron gate and walked up the
stone path. He knelt in the vestibule
and started running the paper under
the door. An upper window was rails
ed, and a woman's voice called:
"1s that you, Harry? You are awful
late. hear the milk carts rafting"
Cassidy thought it best to remain
quiet. The voice continued:
"You needn't think I'm coming down
at such an hour! The idea Of you,
married man, coming home at such q
time! Lost your key, as usual? Well.
