WHITE DEER SKINS.


They Passed About as 6anI<notes al
One Time In China.
In China. the FIRST country in the
world credited with using baDknotes,
certain skins were so valuable that
they were accepted as cash and passed
from hand to hand in the same way
as banknotes are at the present day.
The negotiability of these skins arose
thus:
The Emperor Ou III. being In want
of money, gave his treasurer to under
stand that such a state Of affairs
must not continue. At that time 1t
was customary for princes and court
iers on entering the royal presence to
cover their faces with a piece of skin.
Taking advantage of this custom, the
treasurer ordered decree to be issued
forbidding the use Of any other skins
for this purpose except those Of a GER
tain white deer in the royal parks.
Immediately there was a demand for
pieces Of these skins. which, being a
monopoly, were sold at high price
and the royal Golfers rehlled. The
steady value of the skins thus secured
made them readily pass and acceptable
as an equivalent Of coin of the realm.

more die from fright. than are killed

But you will find it quite waste of

afraid by telling him or her that the
chances Of being killed by lightning
are less than two in million: they
will remain just as frightened for all

A csrsoorsphie Curiosity.

Catherine de- Medlci once entertained
the ambition Of acquiring both North
and South Amerisn as appendages to
her crown. and with that object In
view she dispatched a couple of her
representatives to the scene Of opera
tons. The northern section Of the en-.
terprise was committed to the charge
Of the queens favorite. Troilus de
Mesgonez. who was adorned with the
title of viceroy Of France and sailed
from Havre with large feet. only to
be wrecked In the Atlantic. Another
favorite. Strozzi. was commissioned to
capture South America. but he was
no more fortunate than Mesgonez, for
he was killed at the Azores. These
happenings. however. took long time
to reach the ears of Queen Catherine.
and in the meantime she nursed her
dreams and prepared a map on which
the new world of the north" and -the
new world Of the south" figured as
colonies Of France. This photographic
curiosity is among the map treasures
Of the National library 10 Paris.

The theater in the only sense that
is worth considering was born In
Athens. Both tragedy and comedy
spring from feasts in honor of Bac-
chus. and as the jests and frolics were
found to be out of place when intro
duced into graver scenes a separate
province-the true drama-was formed
and comedy arose. The father of the
Greek comedy was Aristophanes. who
had lots of fun Iampooning the public

tragedy was Aeschylus. born B. @.

WASP WAIST CONTESTS.
Curious Course OF Training In Old
Time Girls Schools.

Curtous course of framing In Old
Time Girls Schools.
A letter recently unearthed from a
trunk shows that in the sixties OF the
last century principals Of girls schools
thought they were fitting the girls for
society by urging them to retain small
waists. Accordingly they offered
prizes to the girls having the smallest
waists. The girls were put through q
course OF training for reducing their
waist measure The conditions Of the
contest were thnt the corset should
not be removed on retiring at night
and that each pupil must be Inspected
every morning to make sure she had
not loosened Der corset. One Of the
persons who engaged in the contest
afterward wrote Of it.
Some Of us tried hard to be per-
mitted to retire from the contest, but
we were rebuked for stultifylng our
selves and accused of making fools Of
our principals. On the following
morning the undergoverness. with her
maid. came as usual to superintend
the toilets, and after satisfying her
self that each lace was drawn in to
the utmost she fastened It in a knot
at the top and. passing the ends
through piece Of card pincel her
own seal on them. so that any attempt
to loosen the corset during the night
might be infallibly detected in the
morning. Free Press.

The origin of Mosaic work is un-
known We may be sure, however.
that it began among some oriental peo-
pie. 1t had attained to great excellence
in Greece in the time of Alexander and
his successors. The Romans also ex-
celled in Mosaic work. as is shown by
the many preserved specimens today
to be seen in the museums. The art
was revived in Italy by Giotto. Cine

for the purpose of making application
for the position. Each applicant was
given trial to test her speed. accu-

a young lady whose anxiety to make
good showing evidently unnerved
her. The Judge dictated to her few
sentences in legal language. one Of
which was. THAT would give him
time to complete the devastation of the
assets" The sentence as Transcribed
by the young lady on the typewriter
read as follows: THAT would give him
