method of printing bank checks and
other documents which it is believed
will effectually prevent their being tam
pered with, has been patented in Eng
land by A. A. Nesbit. TheinventiOn con-
sists in the use of alkaline and acid inks,
the check being printed partly with one
and partly with the other; or paper
may be stained with the acid dye and,
printed on with an alkaline ink. The
solution that would remove the latter
will have different effect
on the acid dye of the paper, and the at
tempt to alter the document would be
disclosed. One of the many mOdifica-
tiOns of the above plans may be briefly
described as follows: A blue-lined
ground may be produced by printing
from block with alkaline litmus, and
then the lettering and design can be
printed In pink by means of another
block, and acid litmus; similarly, if the
paper is stained with litmus a design
can be printed on it with either acid or
alkaline ink according to the color de-
sired. 1t will be seen that many yarie-
ties of color arrangements can be effect
ed by this means, and by multiplying
the printing processes it would make
check proof against the cleverest fOrger.

One morning, when spring was in her teens
A morn to poets wishing,
All tinted in delicate pinks and greens
Miss Bessie and / went fishing;
/ i'm my rough and easy clothes,
With my face at the sunshine's mercy;
She with her hat tipped down to her nose,
And her nose tipped-vice versa;
with my rod, my reel and my hooks,
And a hamper of lunching recesses;
She with the bait of her comely looks,
sAnd the seine OF her golden tresses.
So we sat down on the sunny dixie,
Where the white pond-lillies teeter,
Aud I went to fishing, like quaint old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter.
All the noon lay i'm the light OF her eyes,
And dreamily watched and waited;
But the fish We're coming and would not rise:
And the batter alone was baited.
And, when the time for departure came,
The bag was flat as a founder;
But Bessie had neatly hooked her game

Success.

The wonderful success which has at
tended the introduction of DIR. Whites
Dandeli0n Alternative, is doubtless due
to the fact that it an honest medicine,
and will perform all that is claimed for
it, and DR.. White must certainly have
great confidence in his medicine, for he
authorizes all druggists to sell it under a
positive guarantee, such as is given on
no other medicine in the market. 1t is a
specific for billiOusness, liver complaint,
fever and ague, dyspepsia, kidney dis
ease, rheumatism, and constipation of
the bowels, and as blood purifier and
renoyator, it is positively unequaled.

In answer to letters OF enquiry among stove
makers as to the durability of that most impor.
tant part of base burner, to wit, the fire pot, let
tiers like the following are conclusive on the
merits of the Westminster in that particular, the
matter Of beauty and working principle being
already settled in its favor,
CHICAGO, June 2S 1881.
Nessrs Manle2b Jordan d Co,oles, Otta,u IpS
Dear !Sirs:-Your favor Of the 9th received. In
relation to the durability Of the fire pots in the
Dauntless and Westminster base burner, we
have probably sold so GOO of these stoves and can
not recall having furnished rs fire pots since we
made the stove, for replacing those that had
burned out.
We think the form Of construction OF the fire
pot has much to do with its durability, and ia
preferable to sectional fire pots, We found from
experience that more air was admitted into y
sectional fire pot, and it was difficult to control
the fire.
In our Westminster the fire pot revolves so
that its durability can be extended as long as
the stove lasts by occasionally turning around
the fire pot. Very truly yours,
RATnBoNE, SARD & Co.
