a True Detective Story.

Last Sunday morning a cook OF the
gentler sex upon going into the dining
room of her employer at the West End,
found that apartment in a state OF great
disorder, and it was soon made evident to
her, despite the emotions which naturally
excited her that a burglary had been com
mitted. When her disturbed feelings
subsidized somewhat, she was enabled to
see a button on the window sill; such a
BUTTON she remarked afterwards, as is
usually seen on the waistband OF q mans
trousers" Her quick eye and the readi-
ness Hith which her memories OF that Pc
culiar species Of button seen by her on
wristbands of trousers had been awaken
ed, proved important factors N after de-
veIopments. She took possession Of that
button and cherished it as fonGly as she
might have cherished her best beau. By
and by a young man, against whom no
suspicion had attached, was arrested.
The waistband of his trousers was exam
med. The usual compliment Of buttons
was there, but, low and behold: three Of
them were exactly similar 70 that which
the cook had discovered, and + was Of
entirely different make and appearance.
In leaving that button on the window
sill the burglar had provided irrefntaole
evidence against himself, Cooks search
ing eye, the d~amnatory button, her illnn-
mating "reminiscences anent the waist
bands Of trousers, and her prudence in
preserving the button for future eompari-
son with such Wristbands as might fall
under suspicion, provided all the ele-
ments Of a Gaborian detective story in .

SILVER PREFERRED TO GOLD
IN FRANCE.

Instructions have been issued by the
Treasury TO its agents to withdraw from
circulation the gold pieces of 5-francs. In
fact they have already almost disappeared
from the circulation: they are disl;hed ly
the public, as, from their small size, they
are easily lost, and for the same reason the
loss in weight by friction is greater than
in the larger gold con. Their entire with
drawal Will enable the Bank Of France to
put a greater number OF silver 5-franc
pieces in circulation. Although no such
instructions have been publicly given with
regard to gold 10-franc coins, it is probable
that they have also been quietly withdrawn,
for they have become rare for some time
past, and if retained at the bank and
Treasury offices this may account for a
part Of the increase Of the gold reserve.
The public prefer silver 5-franc pieces. in
spite Of their weight, to gold cola of less
than 90 frances.-LcaGoa E,oaou4l:sf.

SPLITTING TEN-Do1LA2 BILL.
a New Scheme OF counterfeiting
MoneY---Howit was Discovered.

A new departure in the matter OF coun-
1erfeiting money was brought to light at
the United States sub-treasury IN Balti-
more a few days ago. A somewhat worn
$40 government bill was presented at the
cashiers window with arequest for change,
which was given. The note was sent to
Washington as mutilated currency, and
was returned with the information that
one SIDE of the note was coed, but the
other side was a well-executed counter
felt Of the original. 1t was found that a
genuine SO bill had been split, the face
being separate from the back, a seemingly
impossible undertaking. The original
face. with a counterfeit back had used,
and it is quite likely that the genuine
back with a we'll executed counterfeit face
had been passed in some other quarter.
The portion of the note was worth exactly
its proportion Of the whole, o. in other
words, SIS. More recently another sic
front was presented at the cashiers win
dow, with a similar request Tor change.
The clerk at the window, suspecting the
bill. told the man handing it in to wait a
moment until he could consult DR.. bishop
the sub-treasurer. DR.. Bishop recognized
in the note the familiar game, and said it
was worth Just So. When the clerk re-
turned to the window. however. the man
had left without waiting for his chance.
The sub-treasury, which was out S. on the
first transaction, was eyened up Oh the
second.
This system Of manipulating paper
money is perpaps one Of the most danger
Gus forms Of swindling ever attempted.
One or more genuine fronts mixed
with several whole notes would be liable
to deceive expert bank tellers. The face
bearing undoubted proof Of ~genuineness,
yery few would be apt to examine the
backs of all the notes. unless something
in the feel Of the paper might arouse sus-
picion. Then should any one, especlallyif
not so expert as a bank teller, happen to
strike the counterfeit side and have his
doubts about the notes, a glance at the
other side would possibly set at rest all
