The S:gncg de Rabata could not have
been called 8 handsome man, even by his
dearest friends. He was small and mis-
formed: he bad fat face, and nose
much like that of terrier dog. In a
word, this gentleman was so hideous
that, seaEcl.as one might, it would have
been impossible to find ono worse ia
v,ored, except, perhaps, in the person of
the famous painter, Glotto, who, at all
events was scarcely less ugly.
Despite this unattractive appearance
the Signor DE Rabata was a very learned
person, aBa was respected by the
scholars OF the day as the greatest Judge
on every point of civil law.
These tao. men, the ugly Judge and
the ugly artist, lived in the same village
not far from Florence at the time of my
story.
One day. Ss they were riding in COM
pany thencesto the city, each being bad
ly mounted and shabbily attired, thew
were Surprised by heavy rain which
forced them TO seek shelter in peasants
hut. The Sdownpour continuing, the
friends grew impatient. Therefore, as
they knew the man beneath whose roof
they We're sheltering, they borrowed
some clothes of him. He could
only offer an old rough cloak of gray
felt and ID very bad and ragged
hat, whichs however, the gentlemen ac-
cepted. Thus equipped they continued
their way After a while the storm
abated, and they fell into conversation.
Giotto tailed extremely we'll, no matter
what might, be the subject, and, as Sig
nor de Raliata listened, he reflected that
this was Indeed gifted man. Never
theless, asshe surveyed the painter from
head to foet, his ugIiness in the borrowed
clothing wss5 so striking that he could
not refrain: from bursting into laugh.
Feeling Obliged to explain, he said:
''Master Giotto, imagine if any one
met us whef had never seen or heard Of
you. 1'hiak. you that such a one would
take you fer the greatest painter in the
worldp &
Eyes, sig, replied Giotto, promptly

to toe, was able to credit you with know

A Pea.and-Ink Counterfeit.

Look ssat that" said the man in
charge of faom So, the Office of the treas
ury secret service at Washington, to a
Chicago 1Imss correspondent, as he took
from drawer and handed to the CORE
spondent THAT appeared to be $40
greenback. If a man owed you $50
and offered.you that bill in payment you
would takes it and perhaps be glad to
get it, wculdn't youg That bill is
counterfeits and good one, too, and
what makes it the greatest curiosity we
have here III the fact that it was made
entirely with pen.
cit is, indeed, a piece of master
workmanship. Every line and dot, with
all the varying shades of green, black
and red, arc reproduced with skill that
appears LITTLE short of marvellous. 1t
bears that familiar signature, seemingly
genuine, of John G. New.
THAT bill. I" said he, was doubtless
in circulation for years, defying the scru-
tiny of bank tellers and cashiers. It was
sent to the treasury two or three years
AGO for redemption, and there 1t was de-
tected. Whoever made that was smart
fellow and deserves credit mark. There
are several similar bills in circulation,
all so fan as we have discovered, $40
creenbacks, and made in precisely the
same way. Two others have come into
the treasury and been detected within
the past year, but ] can't see where the
fellows pfofit comes in. 1t seems Inn
possible for him to make one OF these
without ufaay days, perhaps weeks, Of
patient labor. and then its only $50;
but | admire his skill and perseverance. "

for the season of 1SS4-5. Ii forms hand
some 4to pamphlet Of forty-gix pages, and
contains illustrations accurately showing the
appearance Of all the styles Of organs regu-
larly made by them, with detailed descrip-
tions Of the capacity Of each; together with
quite full mention Of the general modes OF
construction employed and the great favor
with which the organs have been received all
over the world with accounts OF their
trfumphs at all the great comparisons Of
such instruments at Worlds Industrial Elk
hibitions for many years; with pictures Of
medads, decorations and diplomas OF honor
obtained
In looking over such q catalogue one 10 for
chilly reminded of the magnitude which the
business of reed instruments has attained
Twenty five years since only q few were
made, under the name 'melodeons," which
had not and did not deserve much favor with
musicians, enjoying very limited sale, at
prices varying from $40 to $125. Now co.
600 organs are made yearly In the United
States. which are sold IN all civilized coun-
tries at prices from $22 to 81, 900 or more.
This at least may be said to any purchaser
Of Mason e. Hamlin organ; he win unQues-
tionably get the very best instrument of its
class which can be made. Thirty years ex-
perience is guarantee of what this company
can and viii do. They cannot afford to send
out poor organs

and very complete assortment, both as to
cases and capacities. 1t will be sent free, to

The last warning in respect to adulter-
alton comes from microscopists and
relates to red pepper. The pure capsi-
cum, we are told, is so excessively acrid,
that it is able to carry four or five times
its bulk of other substances and still rank
as condiment Two-thirds of the best
sample, recently examined, consist of
wheat -four. tumeric and little rice
meal. othis harmless mixture are FREE
quently added COURAGEOUS earths, to give
weight and red lead to restore color, both
of which are far from harmless.

Few people who have never been on
the verge Of starvation can realize what
the pangs of hunger will bring man TO-
There are people who board at cheap
bOarding-houses who have some faint
realization of hunger, as IS shown when
ihey take a meal at hotel. Then they
reach for everything that is in their sight,
and their eyes roll in frenzy, and you
can watch them and imagine what they
would do if hard pressed and no food
for ten days. Right here at home there
have been narrow escapes from canni-
blism when trains have been showed in
fora week. Only couple of years ago
train was showed in the west of St.

food except the cotton waste that is
used to oil the engines and a barrel of
shell oysters. After all the food was
