L. Prang g. Co. have published as val
entines two very pretty designs by Ham
ilton Gibson, the features Of which are
birds and blossoms.
An interesting symposium on inspira-
tion Is announced by Mr.. Thomas Whit
taker. Tho great question, I'm what
sense and within what limits is the Bible
the Word of God" Is discussed by such
men as Canon Farrar, Stanley Leathes,
Edward White, Principal Cairns, and
others. 1t Is one of the burning ques-
tions of the day, and the publication is
awaited with no little interest by the

In connection with the approaching in
auguration OF President Cleveland, two
papers promised for the March Hd,per's
will have especial interest. Ono of tho
treasures Of tho library of Mr.. Tilden is q
good.sized book, bound in calf, filled up
in tho handwriting OF Thomas Jefferson.
IL is the financial diary of the great man,
kept by him from Jan. l. 1901, while he
was secretary of state, up to 1903 cover
ing thus the first two years of his presi-
dency. Among its entries is q careful
summary of all his expenses from March
/, 1901, to March l, 1902, showing an ex-
penditure of 3263i.Si, the various ele-
ments of which are given in detail. JEFF
terson had as great disliks of presents
as Mr.. Cleveland, and oven insisted upon
paying the duty on certain wine pro-
cured from the Spanish minister, who
had imported 1t duty froo for his own
use. He also paid l6 cents pound for
monster cheese, evidently sent to him as
present. The interesting paper dra wn
from the material of this diary is from
the pen of Hon. John Bigelow The
other paper referred to is one on Mani
fest Destiny" by Prof. John Fiske.
The March Century will contain two
biographical papers, one on Chas. O'Con-
ner, by friend who knew him intimately
for many years, John Bigelow, and Rom
!. iniscences of Daniel Webster" by stephen
NJ. Allen. A portrait of Daniel Webster,
tho frontispiece of the number, was en-
graved from a daguerreotype made in
Philadelphia in 1910, and shows tho great
statesman wearing a tall silk hat 1t was
taken as memento of u speech which Mr.,
Webster had made with his hat on.

NOTE MUTILATION.
A Neat swindIing Scheme by Means
OF Torn Currency.

VI hoEh e"hhNheys
Tho acting treasurer of the United
States has received a package Of mutt
lated legal tender notes and silver certifl- =
Gates of the denominations of $40 and $50,
amounting to 1910, the appearance Of
which bears evidence Of an attempt to de-
fraud tho government. The notes were
presented at tho subtreasury at New
York for redemption, and as there was
some question as to their value, they
were forwarded to Washington. where
they are now being examined. Only one
quarter of each note is missing, and
therefore they will probably be redeemed
at their full value under the law, which
provides for the redemption of notes in
full whore less than two-fitths of the
note is missing. In this case it was with
the missing portions of the notes that tho
fraud was perpetrated. An examination
shows that the notes were torn in such q
way that the fragment from each of four
notes could bo used in making
an entirely new and complete note. The
notes manufactured in this way were put
into circulation and the notes from which
they had been made were sent to the
treasury for redemption. While the
patched notes would perhaps escape de-
lection by the general public, thore are
numerous ways of recognizing the fraud.
1t is impossible to secure the right num-
bers on the made notes while the silk
thread RAINING through tho paper bein q
of different colors and in different plates
furnishes unmistakablo proof. One cor
ner of O patched note in circulation was
found to belong without doubt to one of
the mutilated notes A secret service
officer has been detailed to look the mat

How to Regain "a Lost Voice.


A broken-down old German actor at
Riga, induced Caroline Bauer to appear
at performance announced for his beue-
at. On the appointed day, however, she
had completely lost her voice from the
effects of a severe cold, and the poor man
was in despair, since his tickets had been
sold entirely on the strength of the
promised appearance of the Berlin
actress, and If sho failed him no would
be required to refund the money,
the greater part of which was
already expended. He had a wife
and many children; would she not, in
pity for them, try his remedy for hoarse-
ness? 1t was u very severe one-"too

PENSION OFFICE PRACTICE.


A Candidate for Congress Admitted TO
Representatives Privilege.
At the meeting of the committee on tho
payment of pensions, bounty, aud back
pay yesterday Mr.. Comstock, chief of the
western division, testified that he was
Instructed during the recent campaign
BY Commissioner Dudley to extend the
same privileges accorded to congress-
men presenting pensions to Mr..
Grubbs, of Indiana. Mr.. Grubbs was the
republican candidate for congress from
the fifth district of that state, and was
the opponent of Representative Q, G. Mat
son, democrat. Such an order, Mr.. Com
stock said, was considered strange, both
by himself and the clerks in the office. IL
had been the practice to extend these
privileges to ex-members of congress, but
never before had thoy been extended to
any person who had not served in con-
gress, and VINO, like Mr. Grubbs, was q
congressional candidate.
A number of clerks were examined
who corroboratod the testimony given
ThuEsday, that orders were given to hold
rejected cases until after tho election,
