Mrs. Gen. Sherman does not approve
of &C round dancing" and does not allow
her daughters to participate in it. She
says: "The advocates of this dance have
had their own way long enough absorb

HOLIDAYS.
|
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart
The secret anniversaries of the heart,
When the full river of feeling overfows-
The happy days unclouded to their close,
The sudden joys that out of darkness start
AS flames from ashes; swift desires, that
| dart
Like swallows singing down each wind
that blows.
White as the CLEAN of receding sail;
White as a cloud that floats and fades in
air;
White as the whitest lily on a stream,
| These tender memories are; fairy tale
OF some enchanted land we know not
where,
But lovely as a landscape in a dream.
Mp Henry W. LonGelloo.
"A young man writes to the New
York Graphic that he wants to be an
editor, to which the New York Graphic
editor replies: "Canst thou draw up
leviathian with hook thou lettest down?
Canst thou hook mp great ideas from the
depths of thine intellect, and clean, scale
and fry them at five minutes notice?
Canst thou write an editorial to fit in a
three-quarter column of the paper, which
shall be in length just twenty-five
inches, having three inches of fine senti-
ment four inches from the beginning,
and nine inches of humor in the middle,
and an outburst of maxim and precept,
nine and three-Quarter inches long, at the
close?"
About 100000 of counterfeit So
notes on the TamaquaP pa National Bank
have been successfully worked off 1t is
acknowledged by the Washington Bureau
of Engraving and Printing that this coun-
terfet is almost perfect; much better in
workmanship, in fact, than anything the
bureau itself can do. 1t was done by a
German, whose whereabouts is unknown,
and who is supposed to have been in
communication with only one person for
the past three months. The regular is
sues of the bank are numbered 1918,
but the bill issued by the counterfeiters
is numbered 295. The counterfeits are
not printed on fiber paper, and there are
typographical errors on the back, by
which they may be detected, such as the
omission of the last In" in. lowing"
and the use of the letter "u " in the last
syllable of thousand"
