FREAK TREASURY NOTES..

The Face Of the Bill, Not the Back, In.
dictates Its Value.
Despite the careful scrutiny given
every bill that leaves the bureau Of
engraving and printing, a number Of
"freak" notes find their way into cir
culation from time to time. Such a
one was note that once came to the
subtreasury at New York. 1t had the
imprint Of a twenty dollar note on one
side and Of a ten on the other. But, in
asmuch as the face showed the figures
20, $40 was the legal value of the bill.
In most cases the freak" bills that
have escaped the vigilance Of the bu-
reau's officers are national banknotes,
which, like the regular treasury notes,
are printed there. AS intimated al
ready, the face value is always recog-
nized when the freaks" come to be
cashed at any branch Of the treasury.
The imprint on the back has no lawful
status whatsoever.
The notes are printed in sheets.
Usually there will be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet. They are print
ed one side at a time, so it can readily
be seen that the printer in turning
over the sheet might get it upside
down and thus put a ten dollar back
on the twenty dollar note or twenty
on the back OF one of the tens.
When errors are discovered the mis-
printed sheet is laid aside to be de-
stroyed. 1t cannot be torn up at once,
for every sheet has to be accounted
for. After some formalities it is ground
into pulp.
Almost all the freak bills that have
been issued in the past have found
their way back to the treasury, there
to be destroyed. 1t is thought that
very few Of them are now scattered
about, and these are for the most part
in the hands of curio hunters.-Hr.

A Helping Hand Is Gladly Extended by a
Princeton Citizen.
There are many enthusiastic citizens
in Princeton prepared to tell their ex-
perience, and will prove a "helping
hand" to scores of readers. Read the
following statement:
Mrs. Mary j. Chute, Princeton,
MIMI, says: "About three years ago
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of a
long.standing case of kidney trouble
and that cure proved permanent until
about year ago. At that time met
with an accident and my kidneys be-
came disordered. My back began to
pain me severely and the least sudden
movement caused sharp twinges to
dart through my loins. My head
ached a great deal and I often
suffered from dizzy spells. The kid
ney secretions we're irregular in pas
sage and this weakness was a source
of great annoyance. At times I was
in so serious condition that I could
hardly get around, and in spite of the
many remedies I tried, I failed to get
any better. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention
and I procured box. They gave
me relief and I am very thankful to
them.'

"A VERY PLEASANT HOME.
All Because Of the Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem.

SiOs0I 0Pace Froolem.
/ must tell all my brothers how my
wife and have solved the problem
which so bothers those who dwell
where there is but little closet room.
With one dressing case between US,
there was not room for ell our things.
AS to the closets. they were crammed
full. and even under the bed there
were many hat boxes. So purchased
another dressing case.
l then took all my clothes, which
had been crowding my wife's in her
dressing case, and arranged them in
my own. In the top drawer I put my
handkerchiefs, collars and ties and
all those other little articles of finery
which every man loves so much. In
the second drawer l placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers, neatly folded,
and my hosiery. My wife was de-
lighted, as it gave her her own dresser
all to herself and relieved the closet
somewhat.
But in a day or so the new plan
proved to have few defects, so at my
wife's suggestion emptied one Of the
upper drawers in my dresser, putting
its contents into the other and allowed
my wife to use the now vacant recep-
tacle for few Of her jabots, scarfs,
etc. The second day it was decided
that my shirts and trousers could oc-
cupy the same drawer, the lowest one,
so this was fixed, and into the second
drawer my wife moved a few Of her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that I was still using
too much space, permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers, etc.,
thus giving her both of the upper
drawers and the next and still leav-
ing me plenty Of room in the one bot
tom drawer.
Since then, however, 1 have found
that / do not require so much space
for my few things, so have taken them
out of the bottom drawer and packed
them into a hat box, which I keep
under the bed, thereby giving my
wife all the drawers in my dressing
case. I find the present arrangement
very satisfactory, as all have to do
now is to empty the hat box on the
bed when I want anything in it and
then, when have made my selection
sweep the other articles back into
place.
In this way have solved the dress
ing case problem, and everything is
quite pleasant in our home.-Paul West
in Delineator.

New Gasoline Boat.

There has been a valuable addition to
the rapidly increasing fleet of gasoline
boats operating in local waters in the
Tom II, just completed at jacksonville,
on the Tchefuncta River, for Captain
c. G. Louderbough, and which arrived
at the lower steamboat wharf late Mon
day evening.
The Tom II is one of the largest boats
of her class here, and was built to sue
coed the first Tom, owned by Captain
Lcuderbough, in thc Lower Coast trade.
Her hull measures ninety feet in length
and IS $40 in width. with a depth Of
hold of 5 - feet in the center, and rs
inch guards. She was designed to ham
die freight only, and in her hold and
extending several feet above deck has
a cargo box forty feet long, sixteen
feet wide and eight feet high in the
clear, to the real Of which is the en-
CINE room, measuring lOXl6 feet and Of
the same height. Situated on the roof
above are the pilot house, measuring
6xS feet; an Office Of the salne dimen-
sions, and a stateroOm, measuring 8Xl0
feet, the remaining space atfording for
towing lumber and light packages.
Forward Of the cargo box the forecas-
tie extends a distance Of q feet, max
ing an excellent place for carrying
bulky packages and giving plenty OF
room to facilitate the handling of
freight at landings. To the real Of the
engine room the deck extends back
fifteen feet, and can also be used for
bulky articles when necessary. The
engine Of the boat is of the Wolverine
pattern, of fifty horsepower. Her

Profits on Muskrat Skins.

Though there may be considerabl,
diversity OF opinion as to the value o.
the muskrat as a food, there is ne
question as to the value of it's skin as
a fur. In the last $50 years the yearly
trade in skins has increased from r.,
900 to nearly 5000, 900. The prices io,
the raw skins range from 80 cents tC
81 each. London quotations, the prices
being fixed by the London market. Al.
though a quarter of a billion mushrat.
have been trapped in North Amcrica
in a century and a half there is appa,
rently no reduction in the supply.
IN comparison with other furs OF
such small size the muskrat furs AZ,
Of excellent quality and well.
They are greatly in demand and then
relative cheapness is due to their nam,
berS for the manufacture Of S~o-calIcC
''beaver' hats. but the demand fol
them fell off when silk replaced fun
in hat making. Some time later tn
muskrat skins again became popular
for use in the manufacture of imitation
scalshins. Their wearing qualities are
quite inferior to the genuine seal, bu,
when properly dyed and mauc up it re-
quires an expert to distinguish them
from the genuine seaIskin.
Modern furriers also have fOunC
methods Of utilizing the musErat skins
for initiating nearly all the most costly
furs. The increase in demand has re,
suited in al increasing effort to lcarr
easier ways by which they can be trap,
p-L. Numbers Of mechanical trap,
have been invented and tried, but none
gives more satisfaction than the ole
fl Eating barrel trap that has been il
use for many years.
Both ends are left closed ard a hole
about SKIP inches square is sawed If
tnc side. A strong cleat is nailed acrOs:
each end. the cleats projecting six OF
eight inches beyond the barrel, anC
upon the cleats are nailed two boards,
one on each side Of the barrel and sew,
eraI inches longer. Water then is
placed in the barrel so that it will float
with the board platforms about on
level with the surface Of the pond OF
stream. About One-third Of the barre
remains above water. Apples, carrots
and other delicies that the muskrat
likes are then placed in the barrel II
