“On my travels in Venczuela,” sald a

there was the taint of leprosy, though
he apparently did not have it. One
night sitting at dinner he became an
gry at a waiter and brought his hand
down or: the table with full force, e
instantly realized that he did not feel
the blow and «at looking at his hand,
his face whitening with horror, ‘Give
me your knife, Bob, he said to his
chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in
a frenzy and stabbed the side of ‘his
hand with vicious cuts from finger
tips to wrist, You may not know that
leprosy appears in the gide of {he hand,
‘numbness being a sign. The man did
not feel the cuts, Ile arose from the
table, knocking over his c¢halr, roshed
out into the courtyard of the hotel,
and we heard the quick tang of a re
volver shot, telling us how he had con
quered the leper's curse by ending hia
life,”
Dollar Bills by Weight,
“Dollar bills are worth almost thelr
weight in go!d,” a bank president said
the other day to a depogitor,
“Yez. 1 suppose they come In handy
for change and are casy to carry,” the
depositor replied absently,
“No; 1 was speaking literally,” the
bahk president said, “We got into an
argument in the bank here the other
day as to how much a dollar bill
weighed. A twenty dollar gold pieca
weighs 540 grains. We found that
twenty-seven erisp, new one dollar billa
welgh the same as a twenty dollar
gold piece, We tested some bills that
had been in nge and found that it took
but twenty-«ix of them to balance the
gold piece, I suppose that twenty-six
used bills gather an accumulation of
dirt in passing from hand to hand that
welghs shout what one new bill does."
