Manufacture of Bank Notes.

manufacture OF Bank Notes.
The Bank of England has always
claimed superiority over all other in
situations of the kind in the world, in
the mechanical characteristics of its
notes.-the quality OF its paper, the ex
ecution of the plate printing, type print
ing, etc.
The paper used for this purpose is of
peculiar white color, such as is neither
sold in the shops, nor used for any
otner purpose whatever; its thinness
and transparency prevent any of the
the printed parts of the note being
washed out by turpentine or removed
by the knife, unless hole is made in
the place thus practiced on; AMI there
is peculiar crispness and toughness to
the paper, which enables those who are
accustomed to handling it to distinguish
instantaneously, by the sense of touch
alone, true from false paper.
Wire marks or water marks are pro.
duced in the paper when in a state of
pulp; consequently, forger must pro
cure mould and make his own paper.
But both the workmanship of the
mould and the manufacture of the pa
per, from its intricate surface, require
the greatest skill.
Another peculiarly is the three
decllle edges of the note The mould
contains two notes, placed lengthways,
these being separated by the knife in
future stage of the manufacture. The
deckle, or wooden frame of the paper
mould, produces that peculiar effect
which is seen on the edges of uncut
paper. AS it is caused when the sub
stance is in the state of pulp. imitation
is extremely difficult. The strength of
this paper is also very great; thus, in
its water-leaf, or unsized condition, a
note will support thirty-six pounds. and
when one grain of size has been ditfused
through it it will then lift half a hun
dred weight.

A PRAIRIE fire overlook Mrs. John
jackson near Neosho Falls, Kansas, on
the Goth ult., while she was travelling
along the road with her two children.
One of the children was burned to
death, and the mother and the other
child will probably die from their fear
full injuries.
A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF.-
If railroad director were lasheu to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had to
take their own physic before admins
tering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. DR.. Joseph Walker,
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Bitters, which now rank as an ine7-
Unable household remedy in all parts
of the United States. He healed him
self with this specific before he offered
1t to the world. He introduced it with
simple statement of the manner in
which he had discovered its vegetable
ingredients and been cured, while wan
dering, sick and poor among the Cali
fornia tribes. He stated what the
preparation had done for hims elf, and a
few sufferers from dyspepsia, bilious
ness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and
many other prevalent disorders, be-
lieved him, tried the new restorative,
and were more than satisfied with the
results. In this way the sale of the
Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention
the fact as an evidence that, in this age
OF intelligence ana inquiry, nothing
that is really valuable to mankind can
prove pecuniary tailure-even though
it may lack the help of capital, and
have to fight its way against powerful
opposing interests. Within two or
three months after its Introduction, the
article became selfsupporting, and it
now yields magnificent annual reve

THE WILD GEESE do not regard DR..
Ayers wisdom in migrating north-such
immense numbers of them as are flying
over us now, while his almanac says
:" Bleak and clustering about this time, with
heavy snow" Cedar Rapids (Ia.) Times,
| March 8.
We were too fast last week in our item
on the conflict between DR.. Aver and the
wild geese. The Doctors science beat their
instinct this time. Not for years have we
had such snow storm as that of last Sun
| day. The snow lies three feet deep on a
| level in Minnesota and two feet in Wis
consin, while the storm has swept from the
Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains. Snow
| fell to various depths as far south as Den
Yer, Fort Union and Santa Fe. Learned as
we believed DR.. Aver in the arcana of ma
| ture, and wonderful as we knew his med-
cines to be, we were not prepared for s.
signal an instance of his superiority, not
only over the wise men, but the wisest of
animals whose instinct is considered I'M
failing. We drive up the peg, more firmly
than ever, over our hearth for Ayers
