NOTES CONVERTED INTO PULP
Millions Of Dollars in Wornout Cur
rency Destroyed Every Week in
Small English Village.

A lonely village in Kent, England,
is the scene of the destruction of ten
tons of treasury notes every Monday.
The average face value Of the notes
destroyed amounts to $1OO,OOO,OOO.
The banks and postmasters deter
mine when the life of a treasury note
shall end. If in the opinion Of bank
er or postmaster a note has become
worn out. it is sent to the Bank Of
England. There a triangular cut is
made in the right-hand bottom corner
of the note, and it is then sent, in COM
pany with millions of it's fellows, to the
chief money order department If the
post office in Holloway.
Every day more than a ton Of de-
funct currency notes are delivered
from the Bank of England to the mon
ey order department in Holloway. The
notes are then defaced, made up into
bundles of a thousand and put into
Sacks On Monday the sacks contain
ing millions of the defunct currency
notes are put into vans and dispatched
to their destruction in Kent, where
they are converted into pulp.

The World by Color.

IT, we speak by continents, the
really white world consists of Europe,
North America to the Rio Grande, the
southern portion of South America,
the Siberian part Of Asia, and Aus
tralasia, the last two, of course, being
very thinly inhabited. On the other
hand, the world of color consists of
the bulk of Asia, virtually the whole
of Africa, and most Of Central and
South America. The great bulk Of
the white race is, Of course, concen-
trated in the European continent.
FOur-fifths Of the entire white race
lives on less than One-fifth of the
white worlds area Of the colored
races the yellow are naturally the
most numerous, living in eastern Asia,
and numbering over 5OO,0OO,OOO. The
browns number more than 450OOO,OOO
while the blacks, whose center is
Africa, south of the Sahara desert,
total about 100000. The reds are,
OF course, of less consequence,
being few in number.

DUSKY WORKER OF MIRACLES
Negro Saint, Forbidden to Exercise
Power, Put White Bishop in
Something Of Hole.

Long ago when Peru was jewel In
the Spanish crown, there lived in that
country a negro of such remarkable
sanctity that his miracles rivaled those
of the best white saints of his time.
Fearing for the supremacy of his race,
the Spanish bishop took the precau-
ton of forbidding this dark-skinned
saint to give any further exhibitions
Of his power, an order which was &C
copied with the humility that marks
the real saint Of every age, land or
color. Now, the Spaniards built a
cathedral in Lima, and during the
building of 1t workmen fell from the
topmost scaffolding before the horri-
fec eyes of the holy negro. 1t was
fearful dilemma. A seconds delay
and the man would be dashed to
pieces. "Stop!" he shouted; and leav-
ing the workman hanging in midair
he sought out the bishop and ex-
planned the situation. If the bishop
did not want poor son of Ham to
perform miracles, would he prefer to
come and do the job himself? The
bishop wisely chose to allow his black
sheep to return to the cathedral and
carry on; the workman fell up
again gently to his scaffolding, and
the work of building went happily on.

Forecast for Mondays Child.

People born on Monday (moon's
day. need never fear poverty nor will
they gain great wealth. They will
travel much, marry happily, be skilled
in medicine, surgery, geography and
mathematics; will be fortunate as
nayigators, agriculturists, or printers,
and may become workers in precious
metals, ambassadors, or church digni-
taries. They will be subject to ca
tarrh, toothache, and collie, and they
will have a blemish in their eyes.
They will love life and will live to be
over seventy.

Roumanian Superstitions.

Ghosts are plentiful in Roumania.
The Strigol are evil spirits which on
st. Andrews night make their way for
mischief into every house whose doors
and windows are not anOinted with
garlic, the scent of that plant being
fntolerable to the ghostly nostrils. The
Moroi are the spirits of unbaptized
baAes, crying for their mothers
breasts and not to be appeased save
by sprinkling their graves with holy
water for seven years.

Stunt to Cure Hiccouqhs.

A Spanish physician claims to have
been very successful in curing stub
born cases Of hiccoughs by this treat
ment: The patient lies down and
draws up his knees until his thighs
are pressed tightly to his abdomen,
the lower part of the legs being pressed
against the thighs by bending the knees
The position is held for several min
utes. The effect of this is to press
the abdominal organs up against the
diaphragm and to sustain the pressure
until the diaphragm ceases it's spas

Pepper Tea.

Pimienta, or pepper tea, deriving It's
name from the marked similarity be-
tween this fruit and the pepper bean,
is the, berry OF plant which grows
wild in Honduras, Central America,
the extract Of which enjoys a wide
usage as a substitute for tea and
coffee, and is by many preferred to
either, writes a correspondent from
Puerto Cortez. The beverage is very
soothing, ard should, if introduced
on the market, enjoy a marked degree
of popularity.

Most wonderful of all is the nest Of
the hornbill. The hen bird lays her
eggs In a hollow in a tree. and as soon
as she is settled on them the male
bird walls her in with clay. leaving
just space for her head to stick out.
He feeds her, and there she sits, not
only until the eggs are hatched, but
until the young are big enough to come
out.
