IMITATION MoNEY.-A Washington
disp7' 4 says: Many complaints nave
reached the Treasury department that
n. .-rchants and business men in various
parts of the country have been in the
habit of printing business cards bearing
such close resemblance to the United
States and national bank issues that many
people have been deceived thereby, and
quantities of it passed as good money by
parties who have gathered number of
these cards. Some of the samples re-
ceiyed at the Secret Service Division here
are Of character to deceive even obser-
want persons, while they bear upon their
face the fact that they are nos really gen.
,uine. These issues are all IN violation of
law. Section $3.50 Of the revised stat
ntes forbids the engraving or printing of
anything In the impression or the like
ness of any United States obligation or
other security, or any part thereof, except
nnder the nnthnritv of the Secretary of
the Treasury. The penalty b heavy
fine and imprisonment. Mahyp indict-
ments have been found against persons
on this account, and the department in
tends now to prosecute to the full extent
further offenses of this character as a
matter Of protection to the i, ommunity ;
the poor aud more ignoran. members OF
which are very generally imposed upon.

GLASS AND ITs PHENoMENA.-The
elasticity Of glass exceeds that of almost
all other bodies. If t~o glass balls are
made TO strika each other at given iSrce,
the recoil, by virtue of thoir elasticity,
will be nearly equal to their original inn
petus. Connected with its brittleness are
some very singular facts. Take O hollow
sphere, with hole, ana stop the mole
with the finger, so as to prevent the ex-
ternal and internal air from communica-
ting, and the sphere will fly to pieces by
the mere heat Of tho hand. Vessels
made of glass, that have been sudd My
cooled, possess the curious property of
being able to resist hard blows given to
them from without, but viii be instantly
ahiyered by o small particle of flint
dropped into their cavities. This prop
erty seems to depend upon the compare

How Pss.el Cards are Made.

The paper upon which postal cards are
printed comes in sheets about twenty-five
inches by twenty-eight inches in size,
ard is packed in boxes containing about
1900 sheets, and weighing $50 pounds
each. After the boxes are unpacked the
first thing in order is the printing. This
is done by two Hoe cylinder presses,
each of which prints fifty cards at sim
gle impression. The printed sheets are
then placed in racks and allowed to dry
for two days, in order to prevent any
plotting or lefacement. Now they are
ready for the cutters, of which they are
three, at present. BY the first, which is
rotary cutter, the sheets are divided
crosswise in ten strips, containing four
postal cards each. The sheets pass in
through this machine as rapidly as one
can follow another. The str;pa are then
collected in packages of one hundred
eaciI, the edges are mude exactly even
and the packages are then placed on the
iron tables of the cutters, which sevey
them in the opposite direction. OF these
cutters there are two, both known as the
Cranst "undercut." Ten packages ot
one b ndred sheets each, after leaving
the rotary cutter, are placed in tho "un.
der-cut," lever is pulled which sets the
machinery in motion, and up comes q
heavy knife Nth diagonal motion, and
there are four hundred postal cards com
plete in a twinkling. A bi. of brass il
removed, allowing the uncut packages tc
be moved up proper distance undef the
knife, and the process is repeated. The
cards are then taken in punches conve
nient to be handled, aud the edges ar,
carefully brushed to remove all dust aat
Feather" They then pass into the
hands Of eighteen girls, by whom they
are counted out into packages containing
twenty-five carus eacn. Twenty pach
ages are placed in pasteboard boxes
which again are packed in wooden boxes
containing from 1000 20 $4,000 card,
apiece.
The presses arc now printing abou
100000 cards day. The contract re
quires that l 1,000,0 900 cards shall be mad,
III a day if the demand is SO great.
1t is not expected that many visitor
will enter the rooms in which the card
are made, but precautions are taken t,
prevent tho iiuos ia abstraction abstraction cs csrds
Every sheet printed ia regi, .ered by tn
press, and the company is compelled t.
give an '"count of every one. If q fev

retained and destroyed by the govern
ment inspector.

That the principles Of Mormonism should

most to commend itself to her-"how

LONG WHIrrLErnEEs ON pLoueus

i[ON6 w hifFLETREE5 ON PLOUGHS.
Most ploughmen have so long whiffie-
trees that it is often impracticable to
make any plough work satisfactorily.
Excellent ploughs are denounced as
worthless, and rejected, simply because
the double whifi1etroe or the OK yoke was
too long. But the piougnman never sus-
poets wherein consists the true cause of
the difficulty. Our own practice from
boyhood has been TO make double Whit
fietrees for plougbing never more than
two feet between the points Of attach>
ment of the singletrses, which were about
twenty-three inches in length. When it
was desirable to plough narrow ftlrrow-
slices, the singletrees were attached only
twenty-five inches apart. Let plough
man attempt to plough with double
tree six feet in length, and he will rrudify
understand why a plough willn.A run
correctly when the double-tree /, ,on long.
Tho plough will be drawn too ,;,r from
the furrow to the unploughet grnund.

effort to prevent the implement from cut

When a nuloorion male ch;,d

WHen BuIgarlan male child Is
born it has eait bath. From that tine
to his seventh year he is not washed un-
der pain Of mortal sin. A Bulgarian fe-
male is allowed only one. washing during
her lifetime. This is according to church
discipline. The correspondent of the
New York Times at Russian HEADQUARTERS
declares that their filth is only surpassed
by their cowardice. No wonder the
cleanly Turk despises them and their
so-called religion.
