WHITE DEER SKINS.

They Passed About a. 6anknotes at
One Time In China.
In China. the first country in the
world credited with using banknotes.
certain skins were so valuabl 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 Gu III. being In want
Of money, gave bis treasurer to under
stand that such state Of affairs
must not continue. At that time It
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 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 refilled The
steady value of the skins thus secured
made them readily pass and accepta BILE
as an equivalent of coin Of the realm.

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

Curious Course OF Training 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 a
course OF training for reducing their
waist measure. The conditions Of the
contest were that 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 stuldfying 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 kno,
at the top and, passing the ends
through piece of card, placed hei
own seal on them. so that any attempt
to loosen the corset during the night
might be infallibly detected in the
morning. Free Press.

suspected him Of treason to the pure
ideal of fox hunting. His clubs would

outcast, a bounder. an outsider.
The power of the caste Of fox hunt
ers is as formidable as the power OF
the various Indian castles. 1t Is a
mightier engine than the law. for II is
driven by public opinion. The county
