Some years ago one of Mr.. LrLASD's farm

He Wanted n Fork.

The New York Tribune of recent
aate has the following, which is fair
ly-good story-for New York:
A party of gentlemen, among whom
was physician, were relating queer
experiences at an uptown hotel last
night, when the doctor said:
"Can you remember when the Turk
ish baths were started? A great many
doctors introduced baths in one form
or another all over the country. on the
strength of the Turkish bath being u

had Just got out his diploma, went ont
to Chicago and started Turkish bath.

ment Among other things, he adver-

He had big box. with glass sides, in
which he shut his victims while he
turned on the steam and baked them.
One day tall. lank chap came in. He
was at least six feet two inches high,
and, with frame to carry 25O pounds,
actually weighed only l35.

Iampering With Coin and Notes.

The weight test is the Lost accurate
and reliable, especially with gold coin.
TIE silver dollar is called the .vaga.
bond of all coins, as it is tampered
with and counterfeitcd so much.
1t is IA singular fact that but one bo-
gus 800 gold piece mas been discovered,
and this bears the date of 1850.
. Paper money is initiated so closely
that experts sometimes fail to notice
the imposition. and coin of every des-
cription is counterfeited.
An officer of the Secret Service is
authority for the statement that coun-
lerfeiting is more extensively practiccd
,han is generally believed.
As a general thing nothing smaller
MAJ 800 gold piece ia ever filled.
though he smaller coins are plugged
which is perhaps the most common.
Silver coin that is less than the mini
mum weight is rejected by the Trcasu-
~ officials, and the owners are obliged
to pass them if they can or sell them
for bullion.
A great deal of coin becomes light
from natural causes, and when they
come into the hands of the National
Treasurythcy are sent to the mint and re-
coined, the Government bearing the loss.
One way OF tampering with double
eagles is to remove the rough edges
and remill them. Between 80 and 80
cents can be obtained in this way from
single coin, and the difference is not
preceptiblc to the naked eye.
Almost any ingenious mechanic can
manufacturr coilnterfeit al YER dollars
after little experience. The machi-
merry required is very simple, being
only plaster of paris molds of genuine

The Christian Bible.

The revision of the early Protestant
versions of the Bible ia different coun-
tries, and the widespread interest felt
in the work among all classes, are
among the many signs that the Scrip
lures are not losing their hold upon
the minds OF men. The study of COM
parative religion does not operate TO
weaken, it rather tends to increase,
the influence and authority OF the
Christian Bible. Let any one attempt
to read the Koran, and he will rise
from the effort with a profounder sense
OF the depth of power that belongs to
the writings OF the Prophets and Apos-
ties. Editions OF heather scriptures
and excerpts from heather sages which
have been sometimes put forth as
rivals OF the Bible bring no very large
profit to editors or publishers. The
Bible remains welI-spring of spiritual
life. The conviction is not likely TO
be dislodgod that within its hallowed
pages life and Immortality are in truth
brought to light The progress of cul-
ture and civilization in the lapse of
ages does not lessen tie worth of the
treasure which they conia ain. From an
article on Tie Re Otsed Version, in TIE
