PLAN FOR CHECKING CoUNTERFErTs UPON Ma
TIONAL BANK NOTES.
Mr.. CASTELAR, has worked out a plan by which
be checked. He has prepared design for the
legend portion of the national bank notes. The
letters embraced therein are Of q more elaborate
design and much more difficult to engrave than
those now i'm use. They are a character of let
tiers that cannot be easily counterfeited. He
would also place upon the face of the notes the
charter number of the bank in figures of very
intricate workmanship. This check to counter
letting national bank notes will be brought to
the attention of the Secretary of the Treasury
with view to its adoption. There has not
been OF late any great advance in the art OF
engraving. Improvement is. however, going
on all the time. No engraver ever reaches the
point where he has nothing to learn. In the
past fifteen years there have been very import
ant improvements. One Of the greatest of
these is the introduction of the engraved
alphabet, which was invented in the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing. 1t works something
on the order Of the stencil plate. The alphabet
three or four days. otherwise the preparation Of
the plate would take three or four weeks. The
engraved alphabet has just been introduced into
the largest engraving establishment in Eng
land. 1t is little singular that while the
march of legitimate engraving has been onward.
there is but little improvement in the handi-
work of the cOunterfeiter. Most improvements
i'm engraving need complicated machinery to
work them out. The cOunterfeiter having to
work Low down." cannot use this machinery

THE LEADING STRINGS FALLACY-From the
moment child is born, he is treated on the
principle that all his instincts are essentially
wrong, that nature must be thwarted and coun-
teracted in every possible way. He is strapped
up in contrivance that he would be glad to
exchange for strait jacket, kept for hours in a
position that prevents him from moving any limb
OF his body: His first attempts at lOcOmOtion
are checked; he is put in leading strings he is
carefully guarded frOmth out door world, from
the air that would invigOrate his lungs from the
sports that would develop his muscles. Hence.

of our young aristOcrats. Poor people have no
time to initiate the absurdities Of their wealthy
neighbors. and their children profit by what the
model nurse would undoubtedly call neglect.

on bull-beef, and kicked around like young
Dogs but they are swaddled, they are
not Graded, and not dosed with

they never cry. If we would treat our yonngs-
tiers In the same way, only substituting kisses
and bread for kicks and beat, they would be
as happy as kids in clover-field and moreover
they would afterward be harder and stronger

in practicing love divinatiOns. Foremost AMONG
these is st. Valentines day. festival which has
been considered highly appropriate for such cere-
monies. as there is an old tradition that III this
day birds choose their mates, a notion which is
frequently alluded to by the poets and particu-
larry by Chaucer. to which reference is made
also in "A Midsummer Nights Dreams"
"Good morrow, friends, St Valentine Is past;
Begin the wood birds but to couple now"
Thus, the Deyonshire young ladies have
fancy that on st. Valentines day they can. if
they wish, make certain of their future. II so
disposed they go into the churchyard at mid
night, with some hempseed in their hand,
which, after they have walked round the
church certain number Of times, they scatter
on either side as they return hOmeward repeat
ing certain charm. 1t is supposed that the
true lover will be seen taking up the hempseed
just sown, attired for the ceremony in 2 winding
sheet. Another species of love diyinattOn once
observed consisted in obtaining five bay leaves.
four of which the anxious maiden pinned at the
four corners of her pillow, and the fifth in the
middle If she was fortunate enough to dream
of her lover, it was sure sign that he would
be married to her in the course of the year.
Again, some young people would boil an egg
hard and, after taking out the contents, ill the
shell with salt the charm consisting in eating
the shell and salt on going to bed at night with
out either speaking OF drinking after it. A
further method Of diyination was practced in
the following way: The lady wrote her lovers
names upon small pieces of paper, and. rolling
them up in clay, put them into tub Of water
The first that rose to the surface was to be not
only her valentine, but, in all probability, her
future husband.
Another time, which has been equally popular
from time immemorial for such superstitious
practices, is Midsummer eve. People gathered
on this night the rose, st. Johns wort, trefoil
and rue, each Of which was supposed to have
magical properties. They set orpine In clay

Elephants Playing Possum.


'There are some very cunning fellows

London shows, yesterday. "The other day
Chieftain and Maudrie, the top mounters in
the pyramids, and the most cunning of the
flock, suddenly took shivering chill at re-
hearsal The keeper sent out and bought four
gallons of whiskey, which the monsters de-
voured rapidly and with great relish. The bill
came to Mr.. Barnum, whose strong temper
ance predictions you know. After paying
the bill Mr.. Barnum insisted that nobody in
his employ, not even his elephants, should
drink whiskey under any circumstances. In
little while the elephants, when the effects
of the liquor had died away, commenced shiv-
ering again, and apparently had another chill.
They looked longingy at the keeper and at
tempted to caress him with their trunks, as
much as to say Give us another drink The
keeper shook his head and told them positive
