A Museum Of Queer"


Few persons, aside from those who are
daily handling large sums of money,
have correct idea of the number of
counterfeits in circulation and passing
unsuspected by our best business men.
Ed. t. Woodcock, teller of the Cen
trail Michigan savings bank, has collec-
ton of greenbacks, national bank bills,
and Canada bills, representing between
$500 and $500, all counterfeit, but evinc-
ing from their appearance that they have
passed through many hands before being
detected. The mechanical work on some
of the $2 and $50 greenbaeks is superior,
even better than in the genuine; but
most of them would be detected by a
person accustomed to handling such pa.
per, that on which the counterfeits are
| printed being heavier and smoother than
the geuine.
| One, however, on the Traders national
bank of Chicago, said to be the most
dangerous national bank counterfeit ever
issued, and which was largely circulated
before detection, could not be distin
guished by any but the most critica
tests. The paper is a close imitation
and none but an expert would see any
difference in the patchwork even by com
parison.
AS rule, however, the $5, so, ant
$40 notes would be detected by careful
examinations; but few persons woule
hesitate to receive them, if offered il
ordinary business transactions. Mr.
| Woodcock has been at some trouble ant
4 expense in making his collection, but re
CARDS it as worth much more than it
cost.

Cost Of Spirits and Beer.
tExchapge.I

The profit on the sale of wliiskvby re.
tail is enormous There are in abarrel
of whisky thirty-one gallons. At retail
there are 64drinks in a gallon, and L.
9S4 drinks in barrel; cost per gallon,
say $3.50. This. makes the cost of 81
gallons $3.50, and ], 1854 drinks at 10
cents drink are $1es.4O. Deduct the
cost, $3.50, and it leaves. of profit for
one barrel of whisky, $l2O.90. If a
saloon-keeper can sell 4 barrels month
he receives $4S360, and for the year $5,-
8O3.20. Take out for expenses 81 500,
and it leaves a net profit of 81, 1882
For barrel of ale of 81 gallons the
cost is about SS.. In gallon the num-
Der of drinks will average Is, at cents
drink; this is 80 cents a gallon, or $27.-
80 barrel. Deduct the cost of beer,
s., and it leaves of profit $3.50 bar
rel, or on the IL 900, 600 of barrels, at s
cents a glass for beer and ale, of $275,
600, 900.
The cost to the people of the United
States fer distilled and fermented liq-
uors must be some $500, 100000 a year.
This is an enormous sum for drink
And not dollar of this vast expendi-
ture adds anything to the physical, men
tai, or moral we'll being of cur family,
but creates misery and evil beyond the
power of any pen to describe or any
imagination to conceive. And yet We
have this fact to console us: There are
not as much ardent spirits consumed
now, per capita, as fifty years ago. The
! consumption of beer and ale is greater.

A Revived Art of Conversation.

toatuIuay NcSleWI
Is there no great principle which can
be laid down as the basis of revived art
of conversation? We think there is,
and we will proceed to develop it with
the modesty that should ever grace the
announcement of new discovery, how
ever important. And, first of all, it is
hopeless to endeavor to revive the past.
If conversation ever really fourished,
and we almost doubt it, the conditions
which produced this vigorous growth
have passed away. What success it had
was certainly owing to the men of genius
who devoted their lives to it.
Nowadays men of genius have other
things to do. There are never very
many of them, and they are not allowed
to waste their time. If talk is to be re-
vived at all, it must be popularized, like
everything else, and brought within the
capacity of commonplace people. Now
there is one way by which even the stu
pidest of us may make his utterances in
variably interesting and often amusing
1t is-here comes the great discovery
by telling the truth
The reason that the conversation of
fools is 50 barren is that it is never their
own; it is a repetition of what they have
heard or read last, and always spoilt in
the retelling. If they would only tell
Us their own minds, their real thoughts
and opinions, their likes and dislikes,
their princi pies and their weakness, we
should not be left in such hopeless igno-
rance of whittier the world is tending;
for, after all. the fools are the most i'm
portant class; the clever men may preach
and write and work, but with all their
efforts they can only slightly divert the
course of the great solid block of igno-
rance and prejudice that rolls ON SO
steadily throughout the ages.
If the wise could only understand the
foolish, they might make the world go
their own way; but the foolish echo the
words of the wise and keep their
thoughts to themselves
And how good thing it would be if
women would only speak their minds
There Is nothing that honest men desire
more than to understand that mysteri-
Gus race that is So like them and vet so
unlike, who share their homes but not
their thoughts, who are SO shrewd, 50
practical and so irrational.
The poor men yearn to break down the
invisible barrier and see into the real
life Of those they love so well; but the
loved ones smile and chatter and say
pretty things, and ingenious things, and
things they have borrowed from the
men and improved in the borrowing, but
never one word of the real thoughts that
are working in their busy brains.
