One of the tellers of a prominent savings bank was discussing some We peculiarities of his business. get money over the counter in every imaginable condition, he remarked. Most of the time notes are handed to us in a dirty, crumpled state that makes difficult handling, but there is one depositor who. always brings bills in an immaculate condition.

I thought her fad somewhat foolish at first, but later it occurred to me that it would be a good thing if people everywhere ironed their bank notes. It would kill any germs.

It is then that the gardener is called to administei a dose of poison, for when a tree is dead the tenant may have it removed. Five cents worth of arsenic is sufficient to kill a large tree. A hole is made in the trunk, the arsenic dropped in, and nature does the rest. It never fails. o Artificial Stone. The firm of Jencquel & Hayn, of Hamburg, Germany, have patented a process for manufacturing an artificial building stone from infusorial earth, which they call guhront. This stone is very light, is fireproof, withstands the influence of most chemicals, and can be easily sawed, nailed and bored. By the way, I wonder wrhat the poets fancy the word glamor means?

The word is obsolete in the vocabulary of ordinary mortals, but the dictionaries tell us that it denoted some sort of defect of vision, causing the victim to see things differently from the reality, probably glaucoma or ophthalmia, which in primitive times was ascribed to witchery.
