Irish Bulls.

A correspondent of the London Spec
tatOr gives some specimens of the tlOrid
turn of speech which seems to be in
grained in the Celt. The following
anecdote will serve as specimen of
the power of repartee possessed by this
tribe. A gentleman overhearing a
car-driver asking an exhorbitant fare
of an unsuspecting foreigner, expostu-
lated with him on his audacious mis-
statement of the tariff, concluding
with the words, 'Iwonder you haven't
more regard for the truth 'Och,
indeed, thin, I've great dale more
regard for the truth than to be dthrag-
ging her out on every paltry occasion"
was the reply.
The Irish bull fiourishes in Munster
as freely as in the other provinces of
Ireland. By far the best exponent of
this form of speech was country doc
tor, now, alas! gathered to his fathers,
Id mental habit he was true lineal
descendant of Sir Boyle Roche. Though
hardly calculated to satisfy a logical
mind, his expressions were often eX-
ceedingly picturesque and effective.
Conversing with Il friend abont the
high rate of mortality then prevailing,
he remarked: '.Bedad, there are
people dying this year that never died
before!' What an admirable result
was here obtained by merely substitute
ing the indicative for the conditional
mood-to put it from the grammarian's
point of view. Malaprops are often
closely related to bulls, but these are
not closely confined to Irish soil. How
ever, this same old doctor, abiding to
recent and mysterious event, devoutly
exclaimed: "The ways of providence
are unscrupulous!' Perhaps for con-
centrated inaccuracy of statement
nothing can surpass the following sent
ence, which occurred in an account of
a burglary given in an Irish newspaper:
ssAfter fruitless search all the money
was recovered, except one pair of
boots.'' Surely Mr.. Matthew Arnold
will not quurrel with the lack of
lucidity which gave this and the fol-
lowing to the world: ''Our most
famous jig-dancer came to his death in
a faction fight at q village fair. An
inquest was held, at which a verdict
was brought in that he met his death
by the visitation of God, under SUSPECT
Gus circumstances"
There is a great deal of unconscious
humor in the descriptions given by
rustic patients of their sufferings. Wit
ness the following instances: One
applicant for relief said that he had
great bilin' in his troat, and his heart
was if We had it in yer hand, and were
squeezing it. Another, who declared
that, saving your presence, his
shtomach had gone to the west of his
ribs, must have been an interesting
pathological study.

stretched his arms wiped Off the per-

meandered up the path.

They sat down. She picked up the
fan and shook it her face. A look of
sorrow came into her face and sneeze
into her nose. The young Elan in
brown snatched it. He also dropped
it. Then the two showed each other
their hands. They took out their
handkerchiefs and began wiping. Pres
emily they left the seat. Then two
small boys crept from behind a near
clump of trees, they grinning porten-

all-pervading fragrance of the sweet
scented hay? and was ever an interior
SO truly picturesque, so full of quiet
harmony?

overhung with cobwebs fecked with
dust of hay-seed, with perhaps downy

egg, in little hooks and corners. How
wildly, how lovingly, recall each one!
In those snow-bound days, when the
white flakes shut in the earth down
deep beneath. and the drifts INSTRUCTED
the highways, and we heard the noisy
teamsters, with snap of whip and ex-
citing shouts, urge their straining oxen
through the solid barbados; when all
the fences and stone walls were almost
lost to sight in the universal avalanche;
and, best of all, when the little district
school-house upon the hill stood in an
impossible sea of snow-then we as
sembled in the old barn to play, sought
out every hidden corner in our game of
hide-and-seek, or jumped and frolicked
in the hay, now stopping quietly to
listen to the tiny squeak of some
rustling mouse near by, or it may be
creeping cautiously to the little hole up
near the caves in search of the big
eyed owl we once caught mapping there.
In hundred Ways we passed the fleet

his deed to the general as security for
the ultimate repayment of the pur-
chase money. But the Kimball fell
prey to the flames, and William was
thrown upon tickle resources of spo-
radio jobs of work. His financial
affairs became cramped, and he was
forced to default in his payments to the
general. Now comes the general into
court and files bill to eject William
from the premises, and to make him
account for mesne profits at the rate of
$50 per annum. 1t now behooves
William to scrape up his resources and
settle with the general, and it is init
mated that if he succeeds in doing so
the general will abate any claim he
has for the enhanced value of the
property or the rents he now demands.

every wish and commission of the
grand old Boanerges was faithfully ex-
ecuted, and to say that William proved
himself perfect, though off-color Mer-
curry is not putting too fine a point
upon his fidelity and agility. These
relations led to kindliness on the part
of the general and confidence on the
part of William, SO much so that the
latter, ambitious to raise his own vines
and fig trees, applied to the general to
aid him in getting hold of piece Of
land on Fort street. The general
agreed, the land was bought with the

k6w money Is Altered.

It is notorious that the work OF coun-
terfeiting is carried on as trade-or
perhaps profession. It is not well
known that men make business OF al
tering notes and cutting off pieces OF
them, and patching them together to
make more notes than the originals.
The number of notes that have been
dealt with in this manner shows that
regular profession in this line exists.
The old practice of cutting ten or
twelve notes into ten strips and max
ing therefrom one more than the origi-
nal number has been discontinued. 1t
got to be too ancient trick, and one
too readily detected. The work Of the
latter-day artists in altering notes is
somewhat more elaborate. One way is
to raise the figures on the notes. The
bodies of nearly all the notes are iden-
tical. The operator will take 81 bill
and 50 bill, cut the figures denoting
denominations of the two-being care
full to avoid cutting away too much OF
the note to render 1t redeemable at less
than its full value-and carefully cut
out the figures of the one and substl-
tute tie figure two therefor. He thus
has 50 bill for his 81, and his origina
20 bill probably, because not more than
one-tenth of it has been destroyed.
This is very cunning way of doctoring
notes. Aspeople generally count money
by picking up the right-hand corner of
each note, detection of changed notes
is, in the ordinary course of business,
not very easy.
The figures used IN raising the notes
of higher denominations are generally
taken from the old fractional currency,
as they are identical, OF very nearly so.
Another way OF changing notes is to
manipulate SO note and 500 note
by splitting off the body of the former.
Then by FASTING it on the $40 and
changing around there comes from the
$40 the sum of $40 in pretty good
shape. This plan of working things
has been recently developed. The
alteration of United States notes is car
ried on all over the country, but the
West is the section where it is
most extensive in practice. The
altered notes are disposed of, to a
certain extent, in the same way that
counterfeit notes are Showed" The
great field of operation for the altered
note industry is, however, among banks
Just started. The officers and clerks
of new banking institutions are some
what green and naturally anxious to
receive deposits. The man with the
altered notes goes in and makes de-
post, and day or two after draws it
out again. Of course, he does not get
the same money that he puts in, and
the bank has to forward the original de-
post, after discovery of its character,
to Washington, to be redeemed as mu-
tilated currency, for what it is worth
under the regulations. The same bank
seldom gets bitten twice.

Cultivate the Taste.

There can be no doubt about the ability
IF any man to cultivate his senses. Hunt
ers learn to see with accuracy great dis
tanceS, so do sailors; musicians bring the
sense of hearing up to the finest degree of
perfection. Blind men often become 50
proficient that they can tell the color of q
garment by simply feeling OF it, while
men employed in the business of buying
and selling great varieties of makes of but
ter learn not only to grade and tell the
name of the maker of each lot, but In some
instances they can tell almost to q day the
exact age of each lot. This is very simply
and efficiently done by cultivating The
sense of taste. We once heard of an IN
stance where wine faster, q man who be-
came very proficient in this art, being
called in to pass judgment on hogshead
of wine, decided there was 4 slight, very
slight, taste of iron to the wine. This was
not believed by the owner of the wine I'M
til the cask was empty, when he found n
small iron key in the bottom of it. We do
not expect every butter-maker to reach
this height of perfection in the art of
tasting, but there is one thing he should
do. and that is study the subject. To do
this, let him taste all the fine butter he
can get hold of, and not with the set no.
ton in his head that his make is finer, but
with an honest effort to find wherein this
lot differs from his own make Has it q
stronger butter taste, or has it, as it prob
ably has to him, q more insipid taste-a
little too fine perhaps for his tobacco
tongue. If So, he should get his wife to
do the tasting When you hear of a man
taking premium on his butter at a fair
or dairy convention, ride over, if it is ten
miles away, and examine his butter. Taste
it over and over again until you catch its
peculiarities. Take some home if YOU can
get it for love or money, and talk it over
with members of your family. Some of
them will be able to point out correctly
the essence Of merit in it, and ten to one
you will be able to catch the hang of the
thing and be able to do it yourself.
In cultivating the taste for testing but
ter, one thing must be borne in mind. Do
not choose as the best article that which
is most liked by your own family. They
may have their peculiar notions What
you want is to study the tastes of your
customers and make your butter come ND
to their requirements, no matter what
opinion you may have of their Judgment
on the subject. It is far easier to adapt
yourself to them than to force customers
to take your butter against their will.
They will not do it.-American Dairuman-
