OriuIn of the "Castanets."

In the "castanets" we have sur
vival of the "crotola" of the Romans.
Generally made either Of ebony, box
wood or metal, they differ little in
shape from those of classical times,
and are an essential complement to the
national music of Spain. The Anda-
fuses are the most expert in the ma
nlpulation Of this instrument expert
ness with which Is only attained at the
expense of much practice. 1t may be
said that they are Indispensable for
the accompaniment of popular dances
such as the Jota, Malaguena and Sc

phasis the characteristic rhythms Of

The matron Of honor at the wedding
had twice been q charming widow be-
fore she married her present husband.
During the preparations for the we'd
ding she had kept much in the back
ground lest some one would twit her
on being experienced in weddings, but
at the ceremony she came out with
flying colors determined to outshine
the bride in receiving attention IL pos

And she got 1t, too.
The ceremony had proceeded with

KNOW MONEY BY PICTURES
How Those Who Handle Many Bills
Find It Comparatively Easy to
Tell Bad Ones.

1t is a comparatively easy matter
to become an expert in the quick ham
ding of money and also to detect bills
that have been raised, according to
those who have tried. A large pro-
portion of the bills now In circulation
are federal reserve notes. Those in
common use have Identification char
acteristics, in addition to the numer-
ais, easy to memorize.
Cashiers who handle large and small
bills rapidly usually memorize the por-
trait on the bills, which are large
enough to be unmistakable as the ma
Ior mark of identification, with the
numerals as the minor aid. The two
combined are well-nigh infallible save
in the case of clever counterfeits.
AS the raising of bills is accomplish
ed with the numerals, familiarity with
the portraits, and comparison, will YER
ify the proper denomination of the
bills. The portraits on the federal
reserve bills in everyday use are as
follows:
One-dollar notes, portrait of George
Washington.
Two-dollar notes, portrait of Thomas
Jefferson.
Five,dollar notes, portrait of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Ten-dollar notes, portrait of Andrew
jackson.
Twenty-dolar notes, portrait of Gro
yer Cleveland.
Fifty-dollar notes, portrait Of U. 5.
Grant
Hundred-dollar notes, portrait OF
Benjamin Franklin.

Japan's Sulphur Baths.

At the foot of the volcano Asamaya-
ma In Japan there is combination of
hot sulphur and cold mineral springs
The bathing house consists of three
or four substantial wooden bathing
tanks, into which the hot water flows,
and wooden platform running around
the room with cupboards and shelves
where the people dress.
Beams laid across the bathing tanks
divide them into little squares, q
square for each person.
The duration of the time bath is
regulated with great precision by the
head attendant, and during the bath
from $50 TO 200 half litre scoops of
hot sulphur water are poured over the
head of the bather.

Device save. caroo spaee.

Surprisingly large cargo space char
acterizes two sulphur-carrying steam
ships recently built at Newburgh, N.
T.. as result Of new. patented ar
,rangement of the twin propeller shafts.
Ordinarily these shafts would have
been mounted In tunnels placed near
the center line of the ship, thereby
breaking up the floor Of the after
holds into useless wings and central
pockets, says Popular Mechanics Mag
axine. But the new arrangement
places the two power units as far out
board as possible in the engine room,
and consequently locates the shafts
along the after bilges and run Of the
vessel, or In other words, near the
3eints Of sides and bottom.
