It depends on the practice of the United States government in re deem! 113 any part of a torn bill for the amount of money it represents. The value of a part of a bill is very exactly determined by means of r.a apparatus which measures the fragment of the jjjjj w jtj, the* greatest accuracy. This mechanism prevents anybody from get tiD £ in retl!! ' n for P" rt of a torn hill any more than it is really worth. That fact is not generally known, and it Is the ignorance of the public in tlie matter that has lately made possible the succesh cf a well dressed swindler who has been operating down town. He tins with him parts of a $10 bill bearing the bill number. He ex plains to waiters, barkeepers, cashiers anu similar persons that lie is too busy to go to tbe subtreasury and redeem the bill for which be could secure the full value. lie offers for that reason to dispose of the torn piece for a small sum and has succeeded in getting from $5 to $7 for fragments of a bill that could never be redeemed for more than half those sums. The purchasers, of course, bad confi¬ dence in the mistaken theory that the full value of a bill would be paid at the treasury for any part of it, bow ever small the section might be. By dividing n $10 bill into five or six pieces and selling them on such liberal terms this form of swindling may be made very profitable.—New York Sun. A SnprcEt Court Jest. An eminent lawyer, one of the most eminent in the United Slates, was in the midst of an argument in defense of P a t en * rights of ids client to n newfangled collar button that was be ing unlawfully manufactured by the people on the other side of the case. The distinguished counsel was ing the patent referred to and its many advantages when Justice Shiras inter¬ rupted him and in a most serious man ner observed: sel •‘^hould if his client lSlicto manufactures ask thelearr.ed a collar coun button that won't roll under the bed.” Of course llie court was shocked. Some young people in the seats re¬ served for spectators tittered, and the marshal, rapping on his desk with his gavel, roared. “Silencp In this honora¬ ble court!" The eminent counsel main¬ tained his gravity, although his soul must have been deeply stirred, and had presence of mind enough to turn the Incident to bis own advantage, saying with emphasis: “I have tiie honor to inform the court that the collar button manufactured by my client is unique ia that ns well as In other respects, but my client would not he so selfish as to patent so impor tnnt a benefit to mankind.’’—Chicago Record. . Wrctie with Tilts brohle .1, Here is a little genealogical problem which perhaps some of our readers can solve. A man writes to the Liverpool Post, saying: *’I have, like the rest of human beings, two parents. They in turn had each two. These four grand¬ parents had each two, and so on. Now, If we take on an average four genera¬ tions to a century 3.1 generations have passed nway since the time of William the Conqueror, and by file simple proc¬ ess of multiplying two by itself 33 times 1 find that at the date of the Nor¬ man conquest l must have had 1)14,082 ancestors of that generation But this Is eight or nine times the to¬ tal population of the globe at the* pres ent day and must he fully 30 or 40 times the total number of human he lngs living In the eleventh century, so that there must bo a fallacy In my cal culotlou somewhere.

The remedy comes from Paris, where two physicians have been engaged for some time in the attempt to lessen one difficulty in the way of American visitors to the exposition. Nor could any more welcome service he rendered. Tlie first step toward the Invention of a new remedy was to de¬ termine what seasickness really Is. The conclusion at which those wise doctors arrived Is that “the great and sudden disturbance of the viscera and tlie contraction of the diaphragm are the principal causes of seasickness” Oxygen, they accordingly decided, was tlie logical remedy. The proper course for the traveler, then, according to tlie New York World, is to provide himself with a supply of tubes containing pure oxygen. At the first symptoms of sea¬ sickness some of the oxygen should be inhaled, but only through tlie mouth, the nestrlls being kept closed.
