TWO SIDED BILL.
IT Created aTren,ei.lous Sensation In tho
Treasury Department.

1t Created aTren,ei.lous Sensation In tho
Treasury Department.
There was received at tho treasury
department one Of tho most peculiar
bank notes over seen among tho millions
upon millions Of currency notes printed
by tho government. 1t was Il $50 note
or " $40 note just according to which
side was up, for by some remarkable
mistake the ono sdo was printed with
the figures and devices Of II $50 bill,
wliilo tho other had all tho figures and
devices Of Il $40 bill.
Tho noto was returned to tho trees.
ury by the cashier Of the First NYash.
ington National bank Of Jersey City,
who sent it with n rather sarcastic note,
intinating that his bunk was not going
into tho freak business, md added TINT
us the treasury had counted that bill
for $50 ho would trouble them to send
him an ordinary $50 noto Tho affair
created Il sensation, for no one Ind evcr
seen such II wonderful note before.
Tho matter was rofcrrcd to tho depart
ment OF issue, from which the note hnd
bccn sent out to tho Jersey City bank.
Tho mistake was promptly corrected
and m Immediate investigation begun.
The investigation was prosecuted
with vigor, and Con. Meredith found
tho cause of the trouble. 1t seems TINT
tho four notes printed on sheet are
not all Of ono denomination. There
arc always three Of ono kind and the
fourth Of another; thus, in this ease,
three tcls and Il twenty. It was an
easy tnsk to learn just whom this bun
die had been printed, and by which
plato printers. Thcy were examined.
nnd it developed that ono sheet of four
notes, after having been printed on one
side, litl fallen off tho bundle to the
floor. The assistant who picked it up by
somo unfortunate oversight turned the
shcot upside down when sllo placed it
OH tho bundle
Tho rest is easily understood This
sheet was printed on tho second side
with a 20-fnco on tho reverse Of II ton,
and one Of tic three l0-f;ico Oil tIio 10.
verso Of the ono 20 Of tho steel. IIcncc
there were two 40 23s" In the lot.
Thus tho mistake was corrected. But no
good explanation w,is offered, Or can
DO offered, why these two bills passing
through II score Of hands, each ono or
whom is supposed to examine every bill
most carefully, should not have boon
discovered.
Every person III the bureau who
hnndlcs IL note is held responsible in
t}lc strictcSt way, and it is almost in
credible that mono Of these people
should have discovered tho mistake
In the department Of issue arc not less
than SIX counters, whose business it llns.
been for years to count the notes be
foro issuing them to tho banks. They
rro considered the most expert counters
III tho world and yct all six of these
wonderful experts allowed such bill

Amateurs and Poultry.

No branch of farming requires more
painstaking care and acquired skill
than poultry raising. Yet this is the
branch Of the farmers business that
persons with the smallest experience
think themselves competent to under
take. They suppose they know how
to feed chickens, and to put up houses
for them, expecting with these atten-
tons the fowls will do the rest. It re-
quires long experience to learn just
how to feed fowls. It depends much
on their breed, condition and the sea-
son of the year. If so much skill were
not required poultry keeping would
not be profitable business it is for
those who understand it. This is pre-
cisely the reason why novices should
begin it with caution and learn as they
increase the business.

Hints to Housekeepers.

When ring happens to become
tightly fixed on the finger, take a
piece of common Irvine, soap it thor
onghly, and then wind it tightly
around the finger. The Irvine should
commence at the point of the finger,
and be continued until the ring is
reached, and the end of the Irvine
forced through the ring. If the string
is then unwound the ring is almost
sure to come off the finger.
A piece of horseradish, put into a
jar of pickles, will keep the vinegar
from losing its strength.
Many houses would be more enjoy
able did they contain less furniture.
The contents, like fruit trees, at times
need pruning, for furniture is apt to
accumulate.
II the ladies desiring to restore color
in certain dress goods will put vinegar
in the rinsing-water when washing
blue-dress goods, especially fine fan
nels, they will find it restores them to
their original color, even though they
may have faded badly from the sun, or
from washing with soap

Natural Religion."

A friend named Blake, living In
Chicago. says Bob Burdette, has semi
me letter on Natural Religion" Il
is q good letter, but I don't think ]
care to order any Natural ReligionY
just now. I fact, have quite large
stock OF it on hand that would be-
glad to get rid of on any terms, If ]
knew what to do with it. ! kind Of
hate to give it TO the purchaser. II
never did me any good, and I can't
guarantee it as an article that ought I'd
be kept in every household. MATURE
al Religion" gets into the market early
and holds on long. I have seen babies
in full possession of it, rending their
playthings to rags, kicking and yelling
with infantile rage as though possessed
of many devils, bowling for pure
''cussedness" long, long before they
were able to lisp prayer. have
seen little children in full possession
OF Natural Religion" learning to lie,
to deceive, to steal, i'll natured, vain1
overbearing, treacherous, bad in a
score OF ways, and bad in spite Of
teaching and training, just naturally
bad. have seen the guileless savage
OF the plains, with never college or
theological seminary in all his tribe,
so full OF Natural Religion that he
couldn't get scalps enough to satisfy
the unspoiled cravings of the natural
man." nor drunk enough to celebrate
his triumph when the last prisoner was
finally carved up into small fragments.
Stanley tells us that he finds plenty Of
Natural Religion" all through Cen
trail Africa, where the hungry heather,
growing up far beyond the varying
superstition of the church and the
seminary, loves his missionary rare
and without gravy, and takes his nal
tive flicker" straight from the was
sail bowl of his enemy's skull. You
can find it in the slums of New York,
and Brother Blake can run across acres
of it in the ''Black Hole" of Chicago.
No trouble to find Natural Religion''
in tLis world; there's plenty of it. But
somehow, the more one sees of it the
less he wants it. Takes power OF
grating to make a crab apple fit for
dessert. J

A Correct Dia1nosia

It is told OF a Pittsburg doctor, who
says he can diagnose ailments by exam
lining single hair of the patient, that
two young men, as joke, took him a
hair from bay horse. The doctor
wrote a prescription, and said his fee
was $25. as the case was precarious.-
They were staggered, but paid the fee,
and after they got out laughed all the
way to the apothecary's. The latter
took the prescription and read in
amazement: Zone bushel of oats, four
quarts OF water, stir we'll and give
three times day, and turn the animals
out to grass" Then the jokers stopped
laughing.
