MATTHIAS -Sole Agency for Oregon City m V -v' -:: UNCLE SAM'S FREAK MONEY III IIn That Aro Ttvenlr Dollar On Sid Hud Ten oa (he Hevarar. h'cattercd throughout tlio country ore a few iileces of paper money that are know n a "freak bills" by the otllclals of the trersiiry department. One of tiiem turned up hi this city not long a;:olt bad the Imprint of a twenty dollar note on one side and a ten on the other. As the face showed the twenty, that was Its leftnl value. The deputy assistant treasurer of the (.'tilted Htat'H, who Is stationed In tha New York subtroHsury, was speak ing of thiwe freaks the other day and said tic had only seen one of them In his life, although, be had heard of sev eral. Very rarely they have slipped through the bureau of engraving and printing despite a careful scrutiny by three or four sets of mnpec?ors. In most cases they have been national banknotes, which, like regular treasury notes, are printed at the bureau In Washington. Tbe face value always Is recognized when the freaks come to be cashed In at any branch of the treasury, and the Imprint on tbe back has no lawful status whatever. "Tbe notes are printed In sheets at the bureau," said the official. "Usual ly there will be one twenty and two tens on a sheet They are printed one side at a time, so It can be seen that the printer In turning over the sheet might get It upside down and thus put a ten dollur back on the twenty dollar note, or twenty on tbe back of one of the tens." In tbe bureau are women who are supposed to examine all tbe bills care fully, but occasionally they neglect to look at both sides as scrutlnlzlngly as they should, and so the money goes out Into circulation. When errors are discovered, the misprinted sheet Is laid aside to be destroyed. It cannot be torn up at once, for every sbeet has to be accounted for. After a good deal of red tape. It is ground up Into pulp. Most of the freak bills which have been Issued in tbe past bave found their way back to the treasury, there to be destroyed. It Is thought that less than a dozen are now scattered about most of them In tbe bands of curio hunters. Tbe official said that no ef fort to collect them bad been made by the government and that the treasury department did not consider the circu lation of the few notes a matter of any consequence, Inasmuch as there was no doubt about the values as In dicated on tbe face.

If tbe skin of a beet root baa got bro ken, sear tbe part with a redbot iron before cooking it This will prevent the beet from bleeding. The next time tomato soup Is plan ned for tbe family dinner try adding a. few slices of orange Just before serv- Ing and enjoy the pleasant flavor which i they Imnart EgTpbint Is most palatable when broiled. Cut Into thick slices, with the Lskln on; dip in olive oil seasoned with salt and pepper and cook on wire broil er over a clear fire five or ten minutes. When a cake contains too much flour or has baked too fast. It will sink from the edges or rise up sharply, with a crack In tbe middle. If cake has a conrse grain, tt was not beaten enough or tbe oven was too slow. If you like cocoanut pyramids, beat the whites of two eggs till light and stiff; mix with two cupfuls of grated coconnut, one cupful of powdered sug ar and two tablespoonfuls of flour; make Into pyramids and bake brown. The Shortest Lived Cltr. Which of the large cities of tbe world had the shortest life? In tbe ancient world the answer Is Talmyra. The period of its prosperity extended only from 117 to 273 A. D 156 yenrs. In the fifth century B. C. Persopolis was the capital of the Per sian empire for thirty years only, but this wns merely an accident of war and politics. Carthage was the shortest lived seat of empire, for It only en dured about 000 years. In modern times the answer would be Amarapura, the former capital of Burma. Founded In 1783, It had In 1S00 a population of 175,000. Sixty years later the seat of government was transferred to Man dalay, and Amarapura is now repre sented only by a few ruined temples and bamboo buts. London Answers.

VYhiilexale Prices t Retail Bnyers or Members oo the Very Best l'lano fladK--AstiiDlsliIng Small raymeiitt InviHtlguteand You Will Join One of the (lubn Now Forming. Under the club system insugnrated for the first time io Portland by Kilers Piano House, purchasers get tbe benefit of the retailers' profit. Always the first in adopting new, pro gressive, moDey-saving, public-pleasing methods, Eilers Piano House now baa in full blast plan that bas met with im mtnse popularity elsewhere, and is now meeting with the same in Port Inn d. On Sunday morning we advertised our intention of forming piano clubs In Port land, the same that had been employed so successfully by our . San Francisco house a short time ago. By noon no less than six pianos were on the' way to the homes tf enthutiastiu purchasers who had readily recognized what a saving it would be to them. Since then tbe growth of llie clubs, sir io all, four for pianos and two for organs, bas been simply phe nomenal. Members are coming in al most hourly, and tbe entire force of de livery teams of the firm have been con stantly kept busy sending out the pianos. This Is the Proposition. To begin with, members of these clubs get the very beat pianos made, such as the Kimball, Decker, the Weber, Chick ering and others, and they r,et them at dealers' prices, and in addition to this the terms of payment on them are much easier ttian in tbe regular retail way. Tbe initial or first payment places tbe piano in your house. There will be four piano clubs ''A," "B," "C," and "D," each club being limited absolutely to but one hundred members. Those joining Clob "A" now secure a fine new piano by paying down the small sum of $5 and making weekly payments of 1.25.
