1t is said that one or o of the gang

the authorities of that country have
been cabled to that effect, and the men
will be arrested on their arrival. The
printing of the fronts Of the notes was
done here by August Cast &c Co., who
were told that they were for cigar-box

Co. being aroused while the work was
in progress, they informed the United

number Of years; that he returned to
Texas six months ago, and shortly
afterward was approached by a man
named Lane. who preached the scheme

went to New York to have the printing
done, but falling in this, he vent to
Chicago, where he again failed. He
thea came here. with the above result.
He is an intelligent, we'll educated
man, and the detectives think Lane is
a myth and thai White is the chief
mover ia the scheme. The bogus notes
are said TO be admirable limitations Of
Brazilian treasury notes and very
dangerous c~ounterfeits.

Light Diet.


DR.. Perkins Soonover, 9 prominent
Austin physician, happening to glance
into an Austin restaurant, perceived
one OF his patients seated at a table.
He entered the establishment and
asked the gentlema what he was eats

the reply.
'There is no use for me TO prescribe

rec5ions You will kill yourself from

How is that2'
You ordered a light diet, and when
you see the size Of the beefsteak a man
gets at tais restaurant you will admit
that no diet can be lighter. Ii is so
light that a man can eat three steaks
and not know it, unless he keeps
count of them"

The lannon's Notre Dame.

On the Both of last January, the Sis

seminary in the United States, the
famous Notre Dame, at Govanstown,
near Baltimore, Md, made public a card,
certifying to the beneficial results at
tending the use Of Red Star Cough Cure
in that institution. They state that
they found it efic acious alike for re-
lieving coughs, expressions on TIE chest
and irritations of the throat. Officials
OF the Boards of Health of Brooklyn.
Baltimore and other cities have likewise
publicly proclaimed the virtues of this
new discovery, which is entirely free
from opiates, poisons and other objec-

Oil on Mater.

Speaking OF still water recalls a con-
versation l recently had with Mr..
Camp, the shipbuilder, and / asked
him if there was any truth in the idea
that oil poured on water would COM
pose IT, says Gath.
Why said he, "It is one of the
truest things in nature. Not only

will carry some oil on her exposed

binding and as sensible as a bushes
contract, and should be held in equal
respect, but people have pulled and
hauled it around until they have al
most DESTROYED its true import and
character. The first thing a girl is
taught is that she is TO marry, and, of
course, Is a preliminary, an engages
ment is catered int. This she does
the first time, usually, because some
pretty yonug fellow tells her ne loves
her, and she thinks it is something
perfectly lovely" to be engaged.
Neither the girl nor the boy has enough
sense to make a business engagement,
and the result is, after a few weeks or
months, the same people who ran to
each other with the important whis-
per, MARY and John are engaged, y
run again in the same direction with
the equally startling information that
Mary and John are not engaged.
When Mary and John get more sense,
they either marry or don't marry, and
during their entire subsequent life,
wonder what they saw IN each other
that they should have been ever en-
gagged. In another class, when an en-
gagement is made, either the man or

mept. The world, of course, talks
about it, and keeps its eyes open TO see,
and its tongue ready to speak un kind
ly OF any little action which it thinks
not proper for engaged people"
Then, too, the man or the oma is
exscting and exercises a tyranny over
the other, which, when there is con>
siderable jealousy existing, is about as
undesirable a state as could be imagin.
ed, unless under the same conditions,
they were married and the engage
ment could not be broken. AS | lock
upon a matrimonial engagement, it
should be an engagement between a
man and a woman, with full knowl-
edge of all the facts, contingent and
remote, TO marry at their earliest con
venience. 1t should be made after the
romantic period had passed, when the
practical, clear-showing sun of day
had dispelled the shadOwy moonshine,
and both parties to the agreement had
realized that their real life rs one had
begun IFS course. 1t is enough that
they know this, without publishing it
to the world, and knowing it, as they
should, they can live among their fell
lows, enjoying and giving enjoyment
quite the same as if they were not en-
gagged. Good, substantial is
valuable in this connection, and with
out it, people had better neither be en-
gagged or married.

REPORTS from the east give hope
that the prices Of hard coal in the
northwest viii not soon get back 10
the high figures. The agreement en-
tered into last winter by the rival coal
companies, by which the amount of
coal mined was to be limited, has
proved a fiat failure. Since January
/, the production has been 600, 600 tons
in excess of the allotments, and, as a
natural consequence, the market is
demoralized. The Delaware q Hud-
son company has reduced its schedule
of prices, and the Lackawanna now
proposes to 60 ahead and mine and
sell all it can.
