COUNTERFEIT DIMES.
Queer Coins That Are Being Passed on
the Unsuspecting Public.

Queer Coins That Are Being Passed on
the Unsuspecting Public.
Every now and then the counterfeit
erS of small coins ''WOrk q lead" and
shove a considerable amount of bogus
silver on the unsuspecting public. By
the time their presence, or the pres
ence of the ''queer" stuff becomes
well known to the community they
quit handling it and generally escape
arrest by departing for pastures fresh,
there to repeat their unlawful opera
tions. Sometimes they tarry a trife
too long and are arrested, and again
they are not entirely adroit enough
and are caught in the act of passing
the couuterfeits. But as a rule they
are very smooth citizens of such
rough and unsophisticated appearance
as to not attract attention, and most
of them get away without being
caught.
just now it seems as if one of the
small gangs of silver-cOin counterfeit
ers or their showers had recently paid
Louisville a visit, and possibly the
manipulators are still here. 1t has
been remarked by several persons in
the past few days, that there are quite
a number of counterfeit dimes of the
issue of 1887 in circulation in this city.
The counterfeits are said to be the
most perfect ever seen here. The
work on the dime is accurate, the lines
being as clear as if stamped in the
United States Mint The metal is the
right color, and is of about the proper
weight. Even if it is trihe light,
dime. being such a small coin, the
weight is not noticed. The only way
to tell the difference between the genu-
inc and this counterfeit is by the ring
of the metal. The genuine has a
sharp, silvery tone while there is alb
solutely no sound which can be con-
strued into a ring about the counter
felt. The dime has not the greasy
feeling, by which most people tell
counterfeit silver coins. A great deal
of the bogus coin is in circulation here.

SUBMARINE BOATS.
The Craft Recently Submitted to UncI
Sans Navy Department..

The Craft Recently Submitted to UncI Q
Sans Navy Department..
The following description of some
of the most important features of the
subsurface torpedo-boat lately sub
mitted to the Navy Department by the
Columbian Iron Works of Baltimore,
and the uses for which it is intended,
serve to clear up several points which
might possibly have caused misun-
| derstanding as to the nature of the
craft. The boat is cigar-shaped, and
is capable of being operated under
three different conditions: First, above
the surface, that is, with nearly half
of it above water; second. awash, that
is, with only a few inches of the back
exposed, together with the coming
tower; third, completely submerged,
that is. with nothing whatever above
the surface. In the last condition,
which is the primary condition for
torpedo warfare, the boats means of
Offense is horizontal tube directly in
its axis, from which are discharged
eight-inch projectiles either by pneu.
matte power or by powder. These
projectiles are capable of giving sew
eral hundred feet range, and the gun
and projectile are constructed on a
principle first propounded by Lieu
tenant-COmmander Barber at the
United States torpedo station in
1878. but separately invented, and
proved successful by Mr.. Holland, the
inventor of this boat. In lieu of this
submarine gun, the boat will be fitted
with any kind of locomotive torpedo
that the Navy Department may desire
to be fired from this or similar tube.
In addition to this tube in the axis of
the boat, there is another eight-inch
tube, fitted at an angle, for Over-water
fire at distances of a thousand yards or
thereabout. 1t is intended to use this
tube for throwing dynamite shells, un-
der circumstances where the boat can
not approach the enemy within torpedo
range, or where it may be preferable
not to try to do so. The boat has
double skin on the upper forward part,
separated by about a foot of space;
and this space is filled with water,
which flows freely into it. Abaft of
this, and forward of the gun-room, is a
vertical bulkhead of several inches of
iron. When, therefore, she is lying
awash, and using her upper pneumatic
gun (Which makes no smoke), she will
be almost invisible to the enemy, and,
if struck by machine-gun projectiles,
she is almost certain to be uninjured.

THE HAPPY OPTIMIST.
A Man to Whom Every Cloud Is Sphered
in Purest Silver.

]
in Purest Silver.
The Optimist is the jewel of society.
He is not born; he is made. The Op-
timist is the pure metal that glistens
at the bottom of the worlds crucible
after it has been freed from all dele
! terious matter by the fire of adversity.
He is, as it were, sheaf of expert
ence clarified and tinctured till nothing
but the pure, fragrant altar remains.
1t is not impossible that he may have
been, in his younger days. so ill-con-
tanned as to rant himself hoarse as a
mosquito. The father of American op-
timists, whose soul, in his latter years
was as calm and translucent as one of
our mountain-girt lakes, was irascible
in his youth.
When one has been beneath the trip
hammer of real aff1iction, has felt the
hand of calamity clutching ct his
heart, the little everyday an
noyances seem to him like the
tickling of a straw welded
by liliputian, and the cries of pain
and disappointment that winnow the
air, as the tinkling babble of toy lives.
Who shall say that the optimist has
not caught glimpss of the infinite?
Is it not very like, for is he not ever
tip-toeing on the skirt of the imitless?
The faith of the optimistis as bound
less as space itself, even though you
grant it the much-haggled-over fourth
dimension, and by this faith he be-
comes almost a prophet, for the knowl-
edge of what ought to be, and the faith
that it will be brought to pass. A
Delphic oracle, or seer of Ercildoun
is not more intuitive than your perfect
optimist. He can catch the outlines of
the ideal flower even while Nature Wig
orously wields the pruning knife of adj
versity, cutting back the young plant
and fitting it for better growth.
To the optimist every cloud not
only has a silver lining, but is sphered
in silver, with every drop of rain
pearl. The mission of the optimist is
to find good in every thing, and nobly
he fulflls it. He is an oasis hid in the
great social desert, fountain of peace
and content, undisturbed by the
typhoon of restlessness and dissatis-
faction that swerls ceaselessly about
him. His presence is as soothing as
the low hum of an eolian string fin
gered by the zephyr, and as healthful
as the wind which Egypt's natives
call the doctor" is to the burning
cheek and parched lip of the fever
stricken African tradesman.
Where gets the optimist this peace
which passeth all understandings 1t
comes from his conviction that around
the waist of nature, cestus-like, is
bound the saving and inex0rable Law,

THE DEATH'S-HEAD MOTH.
An Ominous-LoOking Insect with an In
teresting History.

CereSIlHB
A short time before the outbreak of
the French revolution there appeared
in Europe large moth, bearing on the
back of its thoraX hideous deaths
head. It had been imported into Eu-
rope with it's native plant, the potato.
1t was not long before it was found
that this ominous-looking insect de-
stroyed and devastated the hives of
bees, feeding on the honey it plum
dered from them. 1t swooped down in
the dead of night, making havoc of the
hive, and resistance was in vain, as
the stings of the bees could not pene-
trate the soft downy covering of the
moth.
The owners of bees tried various
means to prevent the onslaught of this
terrible enemy, but all in vain, and at
last the bees solved the problem them
selves.
They built a wall of wax with loop
holes in it sufficiently large to allow
themselves to pass but not large
enough to admit their enemy.
In appearance the death's-head
moth is large and dark -colored, with
yellow markings, and measures about
five inches from tip to tip of its ex-
tended wings. On the thorax or mid
die portion of the body are pale mark
ings representing a hideous death s
head, hence the name of the insect.
The caterpillar is greenish yellow,
with black spots on the back and cross
lines of blue and white. 1t is our
common potato worm.
One of the strange characteristics of
this peculiar moth is plaintive,
squeaking sound which it emits, the
manner of its production having as
yet no satisfactory explanation.
On account of the piratical markings
on its thorax, it has always been re-
garded with superstitious dislike and
aversion.
In Mauritius superstition prevails
that it sheds dust from its wings that
causes immediate blindness if it falls
upon a person. For this reason when
one of the moths enters habitation a
scene of CONSERVATION ensues.
The chrysalis is quite interesting,
somewhat resembling a jug in it's
shape. The long handle is commonly
supposed to be the tail of the insect,
but it is in reality the tongue-case.
This latter organ-the tongues of
extraordinary length to enable it to
reach after the honey in flowers hav-
ing deep corolla. A Madagascar
species has tongue nine and one
fourth inches in length.
The chrysalis is frequently found in
digging in the ground where potatoes
have been planted. Noble M. Eber.

QUEER SUPERSTITION.
The Discovery of Drowned Bodies b
Means of Bread.

The Discovery of Drowned Bodies by
Means of Bread.
Among beliefs current among sailors
in our own country is the notion that
it is unlucky to turn loaf upside down
after helping oneself from it, the idea
that for every loaf so turned a ship
will be wrecked. 1t is also said that
if loaf parts in the hand while being
cut it BODIES dissension in the family
the separation of husband and wife.
Again, it has long been a widespread
belief that the whereabouts of a
drowned body may be ascertained by
floating loaf of bread down stream,
when it will stop over the spot where
the body is.
A curious account of the body thus
recovered near Hull appeared some
years back in the Gentleman's Maga-
zine: "After diligent search in the
river had been made for the child, to
no purpose, a two-penny loaf, with a
quantity of quicksilver put in it, was
set floating from the place where the
child was supposed to have fallen in,
which steered its way down the river
upward of a half mile, when, the body
happening to lie on the contrary side
of the river, the loaf suddenly tackled
about and swan across the river, and
gradually sank near the child, when
both the child and the loaf were
brought up with the graplers ready
for the purpose"
A correspondent of Notes and Que
ries maintains that it is scientific fact
that loaf and quicksilver indicates
the position of the body, as the weight
ed loaf is carried by the current just as
the body is. This practice, too, pre-
walls on the continent; and in Ger
many the name of the drowned person
is inscribed on the piece of bread, while
in France loaves consecrated to ST.
Nicholas, with a lighted wax taper in
them, have generally been employed
for that purpose.-Notes and Queries.

PITH AND POINT.

1t is easy finding reasons why
other folks should be patient.-George
Eliot.
The weaker the body, the more it
commands; the stronger it is, the bet
ter it obeys. ys.-Rousseau.
1t is one of the paradoxes of life
that the more wife keeps her hus-
band in hot water the colder he grows
toward her.-Boston Courier.
The horse one has had and the wife
one has not yet got are always the most
perfect of their kind.-San Francisco

When strong brain is weighed
with true heart it seems to me like
balancing bubble against a wedge Of
gold.-O. w. Holmes.
The late DR.. Chalmers said the
three essentials of happiness were:
''Have something to do, something to
love and something to hope for"
If crooked stick is before you,
you need not explain how crooked; lay
a straight one down beside it, and the
work is done. Preach the truth, and
the error withstand abashed in its
presence. .-Spurgeon.
While the water is quiet the mud
lies at the bottom, but when it is dis
turbed it rises to the top. Every cock
boat can swim in shallow river, but
it must be a strong vessel that ploughs
the troubled ocean.-Secker.
i love a young man who is straight
forward. Ask for what you want. If
you wish to marry rich mans daugh-
ter or borrow five hundred dollars
from him, ask him for it; it amounts to
the same thing in the end. 1t is al
ways better to astonish man than it
is to bore ehim.-Burdette.
There must be second fiddles in an
orchestra, and it's fortunate that l
have precisely the talent for playing
one, and my doctrine is that the Sec
ond fiddle nell played is quite as good
as the first. What would the first be
without it?-Harriett Beecher Stowe.
Human nature can not bear idol
atry. 1t enfeebles the judgment of
the idolater, and it rouses the lower
nature of the idolized. When love
outstrips judgment and overpowers
wisdom, it must needs fail to bring
happiness; for happiness comes mainly
by wisdom in such form as is best
suited to the individual, and to love
beyond reason is to love to ones own
hurt.-Once a Week.
1t was favorite thought and con-
ceit of the classical writer's that men
were divided into three classes: Men,
who themselves knew what they ought
to do; men, who did not themselves
know, but who are willing to learn
from others what they should do; and
men, who neither knew nor would
learn from others what was best for
them to do. If one can not belong to
the choice few who form the first of
these three classes, he ought, at least,
to see that he does not belong to the
ignoble many who form the third. -

UNLEAVENED BREAD.
How 1t Is Baked Under the Supervision
of New York's Grand Rabbi.

How 1t Is Baked Under the Supervision
of New YorIx'S Grand Rabbi.
Matte is the German word for the
thin, fiat disks of unleavened bread
which the Hebrews eat, in celebration
of the feast of the Passover. The best
matte biscuit in New York City, and
that preferred by all strictly orthodox
Jews, is made by hand under the su-
pervision of the Grand Rabbi Joseph.
Before this eminent rabbi came here
from Russia, mates were made by
machinery. Even now they are so
made by certain Hebrew rabbis, but
that is contrary to all customs and
tradition. In the Norfolk street ba-
kerry, where Grand Rabbi Joseph's ap-
proved matte is made, sixty girls and
women are employed. The -four
from which the dough is made is
specially ground in mill at West
Nyack by Jews, from carefully
selected wheat. Great care is
taken that no impurities get
into the wheat. After it is ground,
a sample is carried to Grand Rabbi
Joseph, and he approves of it if it
meets his requirements. With his
consent it is put in clean new barrels
and brought to the bakeshop. The
barrels of flour are slowed carefully
alongside the wall. Two men knead
the dough in wooden dishes; one car
ries flour and another water from Op
posite corners. There is one man to
ladle the flour from the bin into the
wooden dough-tray, another to pour a
cup of water into the tray afterward.
1t is absolutely necessary that there
should be two men, as, if only one
were employed. specks of flour would
get into the water. and drops of water
into the flour, and the flour might
get sour. The two men rest while not
pouring flour or water into the dough-
trays and until the dough is carried
into the adjoining room. The dough
is kneaded hard. and care is taken to
prevent impurities from getting into
it anywhere. 1t is now a roll of
dough weighing about ten pounds.
This is cut into chunks by one
man, and carried by another to the
women, who proceed to roll out the
chunks into flat dough. Men pick up
the fiat pieces and toss them to another
set of men, who roll over them two
sets of wheels, impressing little dia-
monds on the biscuits. They are then
placed upon q ladle. Another man
keeps showing them into an oven, pull
ing them out and tossing them upon
tables. The women first hatten the
dough with their hands. While this is
done, Hebrew comes with sand-paper
and glass and removes any specks of
dough from the roiling-pins. The
women stand close together and beat a
continuous tattoo upon the board. The
baking of matzes can only be carried
on during daylight. The mates sold
at this bakery bring eleven and twelve
cents a pound, while the machine
made fetch six and seven cents. just
before Passover finer and more cost
ly matte is baked for the holy men

Up from the underworld they come again,
Dim forms of vanished years;
And some rose-garlanded, nor known Of pain;
Some pale with tears.
The golden summers of gone girlhoods days,
When all the world was young;
The glittering star-gleam; the bedizened sprays
Where hoar-frost clung.
Rose-scented gales that are the breath OF June;
The north winds bitter blast
With many voices do they sing the tune
OF life that's past.
And could they tell us OF the years to come

But nay: the Book is sealed, their lips are

True-hearted till the end,

Wear still rosemary for the past you've known,
With hopes, not fears.
