The little city of El-Oued, with its population of 8,000 people, at the. ex treme south of the province of Con stantine, in Algeria, is unique even for a 'Mohammedan city, because of the great number of its enow white domes or cupolas. So extraordinary is the great number . of these cupolas that many writers have referred to El-Oued as "the city of a thousand cupolas." The homes of the residents of El-Oued are constructed of white plaster and were lti not for the whiteness of the domes . would be : taken at a cursory glance to be a city of coke ovens. Popular Mechanics. REFORM II CURRENCY - - j : MacVeagh Wants World's Na tions to Adopt Uniform System. SAME COLOR FOR SAME VALUE Smaller Paper Bills, Alike In Tint and . Design, to Be Tried In United States. Secretary. of Treasury Wants an 4n ' ternational Conference to Take Up the Project.. Secretary of the "Treasury Franklin i MacVeagh, now at his summer borne i in Dublin. N. H., has a big scheme for reformation of the currency, particu larly paper money. When he returns to Washington he will make an effort to have the representative financiers and .statesmen of other nations meet and discuss for the first time a plan for the uniform size, color and denom ination of the currency. - "Money goes everywhere," said Sec retary MacVeagh, as he sat at his work, in his study. "A nation Is known first by its currency. The German, the Frenchman, the English man, the Spaniard, even the poor sav' age. may know little: of the United States," but he may .often see and han dle its money. And be will judge by its money to a great extent. -Any one merely looking at a French note would immediately conclude that the French are a highly artistic and civilized na tion. Glancing at a five pound note, again, the observer may easily see that the British nation is not in the van of the artistic countries,-for the commonplace design gives her away immediately. - - . "I want America to follow the mod el of France and give' her best work to her paper money, that the world may know that we have artists, that we know art, that we appreciate it and that we value it. . Big Success In Philippines. ; "Some time ago we got out "some new paper money for use in the Phil ippine Islands. The size was, as an experiment, a new one. It took about three-quarters of an inch off the long edge and about an . inch and three quarters off the short edge of the pres ent bills. The success of the bills .was amazing. The natives were great ly pleased, and the treasury depart ment was unanimously complimented by Americans, who found the bills su perior in a vast degree to those .in present use in theonother country. "Reducing the size of the paper cur rency means-a saving for the United States treasury. " The present adminis tration Is making an effort at judicious and justified economy. . Economy is the watchword in ; Washington, -and I am determined I to V see: . that there is ".no waste in the department with which I have ' been intrusted. In my new scheme- I shall recommend - new de signs that is, the: designs at present on our bills are, of course, too large and" -unwieldy for, the more graceful small bills. That means new designs. Uniform Bill Portraits. - "Then I want the portraits to be uni form. Every note of a certain denomi nation shall have a certain portrait on it, no. matter whether the note -is na tional or bank currency. Thus when the portrait of Grover Cleveland a beautiful innovation of Mr. Cortelyou: -r-is seen every one will instantly know that the note is a ten dollar one, noth ing else. ' -' .... . "A certain color should also indicate the "denomination of a note. Thus green might always indicate to a per son unable to read that the note is a dollar note; red, a two dollar; blue, a five dollar, and so on, whatever the color "might be. " Another -scheme we are now using at Washington is to launder the old bills that come in in stead of destroying them, as hitherto: The laundry system , will enable the government to keep infinitely " more new bills in .circulation and will make. 'the green rag . a thing "of .the past. This is an advantage which scientists, physicians, - hygienists - and ; thinking people every where will recognize. Uniform Currency. : "Above all these changes and Im provements I am dreaming-and it wflt not be long a dream of having the big men of the countries of the earth meet in an international congress to adopt for -the benefit of humanity in general a new and uniform system of money. This must at present extend only to the size and color of the mon ey. -The various standards of money make anything more seem merely. chi merical. T " : 1 ' I "At -present we will begin , with our own country, Having shown the oth ers what we can do with uniform cur rency, they will perhaps see the . wis dom of our plan and gladly consent to an international conference." - - As Good as His Word. - He I always make It a point to profit by the mistakes of others. - She I got -weary of George Brixton because . he . never - seemed to know when to go home. ; . He then bade her good night. Cleve land Leader. - .One Masculine Trait. Gwllliams Mrs. Bingo always strikes me as being such a masculine woman. Mrs. Gwilliams She is.

Vegetable lemons are the latest thing in the fruit (or should it be the vegeta ble?) line. L. J. Schlorff of 1327 Mon roe avenue, Kansas City, bought some seeds last spring at a Kansas City seed store.-" He was told that they would produce vegetable lemons, good, for making -lemonade or for preserves. Mr. Schlorff planted " the ; seeds, and two: vines which bear nine of the freak vegetables are the result The vines resemble those of the cantaloupe, and the vegetables also look" like canta loupes. : They are a little larger than the .: ordinary lemon. : They have . the flavor of that fruit .': ' Ahruzzi'a Big Climb. .. .
