Before many ed. f “Our stay of four days in the quaint old city of New Orleans was replete with novel and delightful experiences. The Mardi Gras festivities were in full swing, and the Californians entered into the spirit of the great event with that enthusiasm which always distinguishes the genuine Westerner wherever he roams. The first twodays of our stay in New Orleans were passed in seeing the sights of the city, such as some famous cemeteries including the national burying ground at Chalmette where six thousand soldiers sleep their last sleep, the battle ground of New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain, the French Market, the public parks, the French und the Negro quarters, the levee and many other objects of interest We smelt the noisome open sewers that course along the sides of all the streets, but are soon tobe supplanted by a modern underground sysMr. and Mrs: L. 8S.

Please pay us in paper money orsilver.’ We were advised on numerous occasions that Ferhaps we could get our yellow eagles and double eugles exchanged for ‘good money’ at the bank, but that we might have to stand a discount. ; “On Monday morning our party boarded the beautiful Havana steamer -. ‘Whitney’ and going down the Mississipi river with innumerable other craft met Rex, the Carnival King, and his courtiers, and escorted them and their royal yacht to the city where the parade of Rex’s hosts then took place. It was an imposing demonstration. The Californians viewed this and other processions from a stand in front of the City Hall, being there as the specially honored guests of the Mayor. The illuminated parades of Proteus and of Comus took place on Monday and Tuesday nights respectively. They were magnificent beyond expectations and fully 800,000 people saw them pass by. The streets were thronged with . thousands. of maskers who took nu part in the’ parades. These merry people wandered to and fro at will, making all kinds of fan for themselves and everybody else, and unbounded hilarity prevailed on all hands. On Tuesday evening,the newspaper folks:from the Pacific slope went to King Rex’s ball as the guests of his majesty. “We started home Wednesday forenoon, Our special train flew along at the rate of sixty miles an hour much of the way. We stopped again en route at San Antonio and El Paso, spending several hours in and around each of those cities and in Juarez, Mexico, “Our trip was a most instructive and enjoyable one in every regard. There were no accidents or annoying delays of any kind. The people all along the line were most courteous and hospit able, while the railroad service was simply perfect. The people of the party were thoroughly congenial and many warm friendships were formed among them during their two weeks’ journey. “We all return home prouder than ever of our own State. The most prom. inert thought impressed upon us by what we saw and heard during our pilgrimmage, is that there is but one Oalifornia; that our lands, our climate, our cities and our homes, as well as our possibilities, are so far superior to those of the Southern portions of the United States there can be no comparisons made.” Robbed and Shot by a Foetpad.

An officer of the treasury department estimates that more than $15,000,000 worth of,,the old fashioned fractional paper currency is still outstanding, and though sdme of it has doubtless been destroyed the bulk of it is held by collectors andprivate individuals. Every fow and: then some old person dies, and the heirs, finding a quantity of the “shtuplasters” in a disused pocketbook or some other hiding place, send them to Washington to be redeemed. Occasionally, too, banks forward quite a lot of the notés in unbroken sheets, just as . they got them many years ago. At first these sheets bad to be cut apart with scissors, but afterward they were perforated like postage stamps so as to be torn apart. Not long ago the treasury received a handkerchief full of this currency of the first Issuc, each. note being signed by Treasurer Spinner with his owr hand. About $3,000 worth of this fractional paper comes in for redemption each year, and some of the best of it is saved out by the jepartment to be given away In re sponse to applications from collectors. Dosed Her With Cold Water, “One autumn in Naples I was suddenly and seriously seized with a severe cold,” says a society woman. “I couldn’t but be frightened, away off there in a strange land from my own doctor, and my husband was more frightened than I was. By the advice of the hotel proprietor, however, we did not call-in the resident American physician of the place. There always is one, you Know, but his chief use, I’ve observed, seems to be in Mr. Howells’ and Mr. James’ international novels, where he acts as a splendid foil to the foreign lover of the heroine by falling in love with her himself too, but always being rejected. “No foreign hotel proprietor was ever known to recommend a resident American physician. Our Neapolitan host sent out for a regulation ‘dottore,’ who prescribed no more stringent course of treatment than drinking as much water as possible; not a pennyweight of medicine. I simply kept a pitcher of pure cold water and a glass upon the table at my side, and about every 15 minutes I quaffed a good, long draft. That cold was scattered like magic. After the first day I should scarcely have known I had been on the borders of one. Here at home In America whenever I want to scatter a threatened cold I promptly follow the prescription of ‘my Neapolitan ‘dottore’ and dose myself with pure, eold water.”— New York Sun. Wyo., Feb. 26. sealed to preand children at piteously the Cigars as Clews. “Valuable clews toward the detection of criminals are obtained through an examination of cigar stubs,” said a Scotland Yard detective. ‘This applies to those who smoke cigars, the stubs of ‘which they carelessly throw away in the street or elsewhere. “If you pick up any stub and exam. ine it closely, you will be able to learn something as to the personality and social position of the man who threw it away. In the case of criminals the first point to be considered is the manner in which the end was cut off from the cigar. If a knife or any other instrument was used for this purpose, then this instrument will doubtless be found on the criminal; if, on the other hand, it was bitten off with the teeth, a thorough examination of the tip will show what kind of teeth were used for this purpose. “A man with a row of even teeth will bite off the end of his cigar squarely and evenly, whereas one witb jagged, uneven teeth will bite it unevenly and in such a manner as to leave clearly visible the marks of his incisors. By comparing the marks on cigar stubs with the teeth of suspected criminals prosecuting officers and detectives are able to obtain information which they Jcould not possibly obtair any other way.”’—London Answers. —————_—_z=zz=—=>~—~=E==——_—_—_—e school teacher, He the confession At.a quarter of oO Don’t lay it flat as you would a vazor.

The Mardi Gras festivities were in full swing, and the Californians entered into the spirit of the great event with that enthusiasm which always distinguishes the genuine Westerner wherever he roams. The first twodays of our stay in New Orleans were passed in seeing the sights of the city, such as some famous cemeteries including the national burying ground at Chalmette where six thousand soldiers sleep their last sleep, the battle ground of New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain, the French Market, the public parks, the French und the Negro quarters, the levee and many other objects of interest We smelt the noisome open sewers that course along the sides of all the streets, but are soon tobe supplanted by a modern underground sysMr. and Mrs: L. 8S.

It was an imposing demonstration. The Californians viewed this and other processions from a stand in front of the City Hall, being there as the specially honored guests of the Mayor. The illuminated parades of Proteus and of Comus took place on Monday and Tuesday nights respectively. They were magnificent beyond expectations and fully 800,000 people saw them pass by. The streets were thronged with . thousands. of maskers who took nu part in the’ parades. These merry people wandered to and fro at will, making all kinds of fan for themselves and everybody else, and unbounded hilarity prevailed on all hands.

We stopped again en route at San Antonio and El Paso, spending several hours in and around each of those cities and in Juarez, Mexico, “Our trip was a most instructive and enjoyable one in every regard. There were no accidents or annoying delays of any kind. The people all along the line were most courteous and hospit able, while the railroad service was simply perfect. The people of the party were thoroughly congenial and many warm friendships were formed among them during their two weeks’ journey. “We all return home prouder than ever of our own State. The most prom. inert thought impressed upon us by what we saw and heard during our pilgrimmage, is that there is but one Oalifornia; that our lands, our climate, our cities and our homes, as well as our possibilities, are so far superior to those of the Southern portions of the United States there can be no comparisons made.” Robbed and Shot by a Foetpad.

At first these sheets bad to be cut apart with scissors, but afterward they were perforated like postage stamps so as to be torn apart. Not long ago the treasury received a handkerchief full of this currency of the first Issuc, each. note being signed by Treasurer Spinner with his owr hand. About $3,000 worth of this fractional paper comes in for redemption each year, and some of the best of it is saved out by the jepartment to be given away In re sponse to applications from collectors. Dosed Her With Cold Water, “One autumn in Naples I was suddenly and seriously seized with a severe cold,” says a society woman. “I couldn’t but be frightened, away off there in a strange land from my own doctor, and my husband was more frightened than I was. By the advice of the hotel proprietor, however, we did not call-in the resident American physician of the place. There always is one, you Know, but his chief use, I’ve observed, seems to be in Mr. Howells’ and Mr. James’ international novels, where he acts as a splendid foil to the foreign lover of the heroine by falling in love with her himself too, but always being rejected. “No foreign hotel proprietor was ever known to recommend a resident American physician. Our Neapolitan host sent out for a regulation ‘dottore,’ who prescribed no more stringent course of treatment than drinking as much water as possible; not a pennyweight of medicine. I simply kept a pitcher of pure cold water and a glass upon the table at my side, and about every 15 minutes I quaffed a good, long draft. That cold was scattered like magic. After the first day I should scarcely have known I had been on the borders of one. Here at home In America whenever I want to scatter a threatened cold I promptly follow the prescription of ‘my Neapolitan ‘dottore’ and dose myself with pure, eold water.”— New York Sun. Wyo., Feb. 26. sealed to preand children at piteously the Cigars as Clews. “Valuable clews toward the detection of criminals are obtained through an examination of cigar stubs,” said a Scotland Yard detective. ‘This applies to those who smoke cigars, the stubs of ‘which they carelessly throw away in the street or elsewhere. “If you pick up any stub and exam. ine it closely, you will be able to learn something as to the personality and social position of the man who threw it away. In the case of criminals the first point to be considered is the manner in which the end was cut off from the cigar. If a knife or any other instrument was used for this purpose, then this instrument will doubtless be found on the criminal; if, on the other hand, it was bitten off with the teeth, a thorough examination of the tip will show what kind of teeth were used for this purpose. “A man with a row of even teeth will bite off the end of his cigar squarely and evenly, whereas one witb jagged, uneven teeth will bite it unevenly and in such a manner as to leave clearly visible the marks of his incisors. By comparing the marks on cigar stubs with the teeth of suspected criminals prosecuting officers and detectives are able to obtain information which they Jcould not possibly obtair any other way.”’—London Answers. —————_—_z=zz=—=>~—~=E==——_—_—_—e school teacher, He the confession At.a quarter of oO Don’t lay it flat as you would a vazor.
