The world today is filed with half
morbid young people wishing they only
knew how to make themselves more in
teresting and attractive to others. 1t is
not desire to be blamed, but one to he
encouraged. The only trouble is that
they get their attention concentrated ON
themselves, and the more they think of
themselves the less do people want TO
look at the object they propose shall be
attractive. No one ever fails to be de-
lighted with a person who, having spent
several summers in some enchanting
spot in the mountains, takes III hand
him, stranger there, and leads him to
the most poetic cascades or the sublimest
points of outlook the whole region offers.
Here, then, lies the secret of proving
charming to others. 1t is by serving as
guide and interpreter to something more
inspiring than would be either of the two
left to himself, and so bringing on an
experience in which each loses his mere
individual life to find it in fuller uni.

The enthusiastic student of photog-

pertinent with the ''pasteboard camera,
as it has been called. Take long cigar
box and blacken the inside. Make pin
hole in the centre of one of the ends, and
place a sheet of carbonic paper beneath
the lid and jam it down. If by dry
plate is placed at the end opposite the
pin hole, with the sensitive side toward
the latter, the lid jammed down and the
box taken from the dark room to an open
window, where there is view of some
building or other object, very fair pict-
ure will be obtained on returning the
box to the dark room and developing the
plate at the end of half an hours expos
ure. By interposing meniscus lens the
aperture of the pin hole may be greatly
enlarged, and the taking of the picture
much quickened.-New York Evening

The camanba is certainly wonderful
tree, according to a report made to the
state department by Consul Burke, of
Bahia. 1t grows in the northern states
of Brazil near the Amazon river. Every
part of it-root, rootlet, branch and trunk
is available; it is indispensable for the
natives in building and roofing their huts,
making fences, ETC., while the articles
made from 1t supply them with food,
light and medicine. 1t is a species of
palm tree and grows in dry, sandy soil.
The bulb (the size depending upon the size
of the tree) is strongly farinaceous, and
when dried and ground produces kind
of farischa used for food by the natives,
while the rootlets OF the bulb are used
for medicine, possessing strong cathar-
tic property.
The trunk, while the tree is young,
contains a soft oleaginous substance,
something like marrow; this is good food
for cattle, sheep, goats and hogs. After
the tree attains growth of several years
the trunk becomes very hard and can
then be used for building purposes. The
lower part of the branches, which grow
to "a length of to 10 or IL feet, are chiefly
used for fences. They are wide and flat
at the bottom and tapering toward the
top, with short, hard and very sharp
thorns at the edges, in appearance not
unlike the mouth of asaw fish. The fence
made from this material is very strong.
The leafy part of the branch, when
cut and sun dried, gives an emulation
which appears on the fan like leaf or
blade. 1t is tenacious substance pos
sessing properties very similar to bees
wax. This wax is extensively used for
making candles. The leaf or blade has
fiber from which hats, mats, baskets,
rope, brooms, busters, ETC., are made.
When the emulation is scraped from the
blades of palm the branches are used for
roofing huts and small houses and fol
protecting brick walls from the fierce
rays of the sun, as well as from the rain
The fruit of the tree is sweet and palata-
BILE. The kernel or seed is pounded tc
powder and used in infusion in place OF
coffee.-Chicago Herald.

The American IA Glutton.

The average American, although a
colossal eater, does not at present know
how to dine. This is a home truth which
he resents extremely, and contradicts
with vigor; indeed, he is apt to introduce
comparisons between the restaurants OF
his own and other lands which invariably
leave large balance in favor of Del
monico's. Still, spite of an occasional
exception, the American born CASTRO
nome is as rare a bird as the American
born chef of any serious pretensions.-

An Extraordinary Irishman.

Dion Boucicault, who is as clever as
he is erratic, is now in his 6Sth year,
though he says that he has lived at least
ten centuries. 1t is thirty-seven years
since he came to this country, and dur
ing that period has, it is said, become a
citizen of the United States four times,
returning after each naturalization to
Great Britain to renew his loyalty to the
queen. Up to date the number of pieces
he has written, translated and adapted
for the stage is about $780, Although it
has been customary to speak of him as
an inimitable plagiarist, he has done a
great deal of original work, notably in
such dramas as "London Assurance,
"Old Heads and Young Hearts" 1.-The
Octoroon," "Arrah nah Pogue," 1.-THE
Rapparee" and 1.-THE Shaughraun." On
the other hand, for him to call himself
the author of Used Up Louis XI, "
1.-The Corsican Brothers" Faust and
Marguerite" when the originals are Sc
well known, is a degree of astonishing
impudence that might be styled Bouci-
caultism.
1t used to be asked, when it was men,
toned that Boucicault had written q
new play, Whose play has he written
and not without a modicum of justice
If he borrows literally, if he appropriates
wholesale, it is not because he lacks in
vention and ingenuity, of which he has
abundance, but because he wants tc
make money. He has gained half q
dozen fortunes, and lost them all.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

DETECTING COUNTERFEITS


A good deal of the fractional currency
that is brought to the sub-treasury for
redemption turns out to be counterfeit,
and the moment it comes into that place,
no matter from whose hands it comes, it
is hurried to a block and stamped ''coun-
terfeit'' with the stencil cutting die.
They ask no permission, but just go and
do it. The same rule is followed, too, in
the rotunda where the bills of larger de-
nomination come in. Sometimes men
get very angry when their bills are hand
ed back to them mutilated in such a
manner that they cannot be used.
Not long ago the South Ferry COM
pany sent up to the sub-treasury a bun
die of the fractional currency represent
ing about 800. 1t had been discovered
back of partition in the old ferry house,
where it had been either slowed away or
misplaced, and was found when the old
building was torn down to make room
for the new structure.
Mr.. Haff shuffied through the pile and
not only pronounced it all counterfeit
but discovered that some of it had been
brought to the sub-treasury at least
twenty years ago, as the marks of the
old stamps used as long ago as that to
mark counterfeit paper money We're still
plainly visible on them. Each piece was
subjected to the cutting process, and will
probably not be presented again for re-
demption.
, All the fractional paper currency that
is redeemed at the sub-treasury is sent
to the treasury at Washington, where il
is placed in the crematory and burned
up. and all that is left of it is sort OF
Stag, IA single pound of which may repre-
sent million. The rest floats off il

McDougalls non-poisonous sheep alp and
cattle dressing, scab specific and insect eX-
terminator on sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
poultry, etc, has been used with great success
In this county tor several years. IL instantly
exterminates all ticks lice and maggots; is
the only true specific for scab, and finely
stimulates the growth OF the fleece, making
its use very profitable. When used at II
special strength il also waterproofs the ieeces,
thus affording the animals great protection
from cold and wet. In the United states,
Great Britain and many places abroad it is
now generally adopted-having to II large
extent displaced the use OF tobacco, arsenic,
lime and sulphur, and poisonous mixtures.
II has important advantages over such dress
ings, and is more certain in its action. For
