The Norrixto,vn herald Man.

The most familiar figure in Norristown is
the celebrated Jack Williams, the funny
man of the ''Norr. Herald" He is fine
looking. middle-aged man and an eccentric
dresser. He is partial to loud English
checks, and always straps his trousers
tightly over his alligatOr-skln boots. He
wears a hickory cane once owned by Ar
temus Ward, and every morning, it is said,
carries it out to the Montgomery cemetery
where he meets Charles r. Hunsicker with
whom he exchanges jokes. He is an easy
talker and twice week he holds receptions
at his Office. Farmers from the surround
ing country drive into Norristown to see him
and exchange vegetables for his jokes. He
has been offered salaries apprOXimating a
small fortune by Puck and other funny
journals, but firmly refuses to leave his ma
tive town, which he has made famous
throughout the country. His most ardent
admirers say that even Chinaman waltzed
into his Office one day and after severe
struggle with pigeon English informed him
that he had seen some of his jokes in the
Pekin Gazette. He is also a poet,

An ingenious Counterfeifer who
EIudes Pursuit.. Even His Name
Unknown.
New York World.
One of the most successful counterfeiters
in the country has baffied the treasury for
over five years. He has adopted such
an original role that thus far no trace
of him has ever been reached. His
name. even, is not known. A fairly good
description of him has been obtained,
but beyond that the Secret-Service
Bureau has no positive information.
This counterfeiter works alone. He has
no apparatus beyond pen and bottle of
ink, and. having no accomplices, is not in
any danger of being betrayed. His method
of proceeding is very simple. He will take
a ten. twenty or fifty of the greenback
or national bank issue, and in the shortest
possible time can make such successful
copy of it in pen and ink as to deFy detec-
ton from any body but an expert with a
glass.
saw a fifty-dollar note at the treasury
this morning made by him of the green
back issue. The general appearance of
this bill is perfect. The lines about all of
the portrait work will bear the closest in
spection under a glass. The letter work
is absolutely correct, and the signatures
miraculous reproductions. Even the
treasury seal is faultless. The artist that
DR. Oduces this class of work rarely, if
ever. cOunterfets the same issue twice dur
ing the same period. 1t is, therefore. not
possible to put bank people on their guard
against him. He skips about from issue
to issue, and, while he rarely goes below
GoO vet he has cOndeScended to make a ten
dollar note. He is apparently always
on the wing. His first note was detected
in New Orleans.
Other issues have been found in South
ern cities along the Mississippi river, and
then again they would be found in Chicago
or the extreme West. His cOunterfeiting
can never reach very large amount. He
apparently travels about a great deal and
defrays the expenses of his travelling with
his knowledge of the pen. He is a man of
such talent that he could certainly COM
mand a handsome salary in legitimate
business. He has thus far been so success
full in putting his wares on the market that
by the time his note is detected the slightest
trace of its author is gone.
This is one of the rOmances of the secret
service There is not an officer connected
with the service but who firmly believes
that even this evaSiye cOunterfeiter will be
caught in the end. 1t will be hard job to
find him. He is only one of the 80, 900, 600
of people, with no connections or relations
with the other members of the human fam
ily to betray him. And yet every success
full cOunterfeiter this country has thus far
known has been brought to punishment III

She Puzzled Her Mother.

San Francisco Chronicle.
There is family up town in which the
young daughter and the father are band-in-
glove. He does not teach her slang; he
does not use it much himself. He is liter
airy and learned, and intellectual. and he is
inoculating the little girl with the highest
views on literature and art. The two hold
long discussions on very serious subjects
and the mother sits by and listens. The
child is very young, but she has noticed
that her mother does not interfere with
their discussions. Doubts, indeed, have
filled her mind as to her mothers educa-
ton. The other day she came up and
asked the mother some very abstruse Ques-
ton.

Instinct as a Guide to Health.

Many of our JIDgress-loving con-.
temporaries would be rather alarmed ut
the discovery chat the principle of our
social, medical, and educational re-
forms during the last two hundred years
has been restored trust Ia the co7ape-
tence of oar 2Gtura} instincts. So for
eign was that rule Of conduct to the
moral standards OF the middle ages that
its Importance was recognized only in
its apparent exceptions, the supposed
''evil propensities of our unregenerate
nature, such as poison-habits, sloth,
and sexual eXceSses. The real signifi-
cance of such alterations would reveal
the difference between natural appetites
and abnormal (artificially acquired) ap-
petencies, and teach Us the necessity of
applying the tests of that distinction to
all persuasive instincts, and occasional
ly to otherwise unexplained aversions.
But even within those limits critical
study of our protective IL tuitions would
surprisingly show in how many respects
! the hygienic reforms Of the last two
hundred years could have been antici-
! pated by the simple teachings of our
| senses. For the wards of instinct a tenn
perance sermon would be as superiuous
as lecture on the folly of drinking
boiling petroleum, for to the palate of a
normal living being-human or animal
alcohol is not only unattractive, but
violently repulsive, and the baneful pas
sion to which that repugnance can be
| forced to yield is so clearly abnormal
that only the infatuation Of the natural
depravity dogma could ever mistake it
for innate appetite. In defense of the
respiratory organs, nature fights almost
to the last. The blinded dupe of the
night-air superstition would hardly as
sert that he finds the hot miasma of his
mventilated bedroom more pleasant
than fresh air. He thinks it safer, in
spite-or perhaps because-of its re-
pulsiveness. ''Mistrust all pleasant
things" was the watchword of the
medieval cosmogony. Long before
jain and Pestalozzi demonstrated the
hygienic Importance of gymnastics,
children embraced every opportunity
for outdoor exercise with a zeal which
only persistent restraint could abate.-

Saving a Life by Telegraph.

A number of the operators in the
main Office Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company 1T New York are grad
uates in medicine o. medical students
who are thus Va .lEinr their way through
college. Occasionally hey have an op-
poTtunity to use their knowledge to
good advantage. It recently happened
that one OF them had his attention at
tracted by a somewhat unusual message
that was being clicked out from an in
strument at Big Indian. near Kingston,
\. Y. 1t stated that a certain physician
at Pine HiH. three miles distant, was
wanted Immediately to attend young
person who had just swallowed an
ounce Of laudanum. The student-opera-
tor asked at once for all the particulars.
and on receiving them Il consultation
was held at the New York Office. 1t was
decided that it would be hazardous to
postpone treatment until the doctor
could be found and driven three miles
to attend patient in so dangerous a
condition.
The council therefore telegraphed the
operator at BIG Indian to see that the
prescription which they sent was car
ried out immediately. They prescribed
that powerful emetics should be admin
istered, suggesting home made ones,
such as lukewarm water and mustard
and water, after which the patient was
to be vigorously rubbed and whipped
with switches to prevent sleep. This
unexpected order was faithfully carried
out, and with such happy results that
the poison failed to act. The physician
arrived an hour later, but his attend
ance would have been useless had the
precious interval been wasted. Few
more curious instances of frustrated sui
eide could be cited out of the entire
library of fiction.-SctentJic american.

Among our eastern homes, in society
long established,-a society founded
in the principles of the stern, rigid

Evils are creeping over the land which
threaten to destroy Its peace and
render American liberty thing of
the past. To maintain this liberty,
which comes to US as the result of
bloody conflict demands the devoted
action of every man who enjoys its
benefits.
To enumerate the incentives which
ought to arouse to action, would
seem a useless task. Read the pa

from New York. We have, as you
see, four hand and seven power
looms. The hand looms make five
or six yards of silk per day, while
the power looms make from ten to
twelve yards. Here is our winding
machine. The swifts are arranged
side by side upon an axis on either
side of this frame. Above the swifts
are the spools on spindles similarly
arranged-one spool for each swift.
The spools are connected with the
sWifts by the ends of the hanks, and
when set in motion, cause the swifts
to turn round. 1t requires constant
attention for the purpose of joining
the broken ends, putting on the
hanks, and exchanging full spools
for empty ones.

WISE WORDS.

A present good may be reasonably
parted with upon probable expect
alton of future good which is more
excellent.
The seeds of love can never grow
but under the warm and genial infu-
ence of kind feelings and affectionate
manners.
If some people took half the inter-
est in their own affairs that they do
in those Of their neighbors they would
be both happier and richer,
II you 90 about telling you haze
an Inheritance worth million worlds,
and yet get out of temper about the
loss of a nickel, people will not be-
lieve you.
The consciousness of being loved
softens the keenest pang, even at
the moment of parting; yea, even
the eternal farewell is robbed of half
its bitterness when uttered in accents
that breathe love to the last sigh.
There are some persons who never
succeed, from being too indolent to
attempt anything; and others who
regularly fail, because the instant
they find success in their power they
grow indifferent and give over the at
tempt.
The loving heart is the strong
heart. The generous hand is the
hand to cling to when the path is diff
fcult. There is room for the exer-
else of charity everywhere-in bust
ness, in society. and the church; but
the first and chiefest need to it is at
home, where it is the salt which
keeps all things sweet, the aroma
which makes every hour charming,
and the divine light which shines
starlike through all gloom and de
preston.
