rleket Agents and counterfslt..

Counterfeit money comes into the
hands Of the railroad ticket agent more
frequently than anywhere else. But this
official Of the great steel highway has to
become an expert in detecting it, else his
salary would suffer TO the amount Of
spurious coin which he took in.
The detection of counterfeits seems to
become a sort of second nature with the
ticket seller. To discover bad piece of
silver is a comparatively easy matter,
for it has a greasy feeling and very sell
dom looks like good money. Even If it
possesses these requisites Of good coin it
very seldom has the weight Of the gen
uine quarter. half dollar or dollar, and
the lack of weight is percepfible by tax
ing it in the hand.
But 70 detect bad bill is not, 20 the
layman who is not burdened with han
ding thousands Of dollars each day, an
easy task. The expert ticket agent viii,
however, when counting a stack Of bills
ranging in value from one dollar to fifty
dollars with great rapidity snap them in
both hands one after another and pick
out the counterfeits, seemingly by an
acute sense of touch. Some ticket agents
are marvelously clever in this way. The
method used by the majority In detecting
bad bill is to hold il to the light and
see if it contains parallel silk threads
running horizontally throughit. ALI gem
nine bills contain hese.-Albany Argus.

Hnu some sen.i. rrnreI-

The most curious provision possessed
by seeds for self dissemination is the
microscopic avn. In the wild cat (avena
fatua). for example, there is attached to
the glumelia Ia small, leafy structure
connected with the seedl, a spiral avn
covered with humorous fine hairs, and
this avn has the power Of expanding
when moist and of contracting when dry.
Thus the attached seed is constantly
on the move with the changes in the
weather, the hairs clinging to any object
met with, until termination or destruc-
ton puts an end TO its motion.
The seed of barley. too, is provided
with a similar avn, which is furnished
with minute teeth that point toward its
apex. The seed. when lying on the
ground, naturally expands with the
moisture of the night and contracts with
the dryness of the day. but, rs the teeth
prevent its moving toward the point of
the avn, all motion must be in the di-
rection of the base of the seed, which
will thus travel many feet from the parent
stalk.-Knowledge.

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
Remarkable Contrast In the Effect of two
PoLs0ns on the Complexion.

A"sS~hs Vi ehS SuAtpiTAioh~
The slow absorption OF many pois-
ons changes in some more or less
modified form the complexion, but
arsenic and ammonia show their effect
about as quickly as any. The popular
belief that arsenic clears the complex
ion has led many silly women to kill
themselves with 1t in small, continued
doses.
II produces a waxy, ivory-like APP
pearance OF the skin during a certain
stage Of the poisoning. but its terrible
after effects have become to well
known TO make it Of common use as
cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the opposite
70 that OF arsenic. The first symptom
of ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is discoloration OF the skin
OF the nose and forehead. This grad
ua.ly extends over the face antil the
complexion has a stained, blOtched,
and unsightly appearance. With
people who take ammonia into their
systems in smaller doses, as with their
water or food, these striking symp-
toms do not appear so soon. The
effect Of the poison that is visible for
time is a general EMBELLISHMENTS
and sallowness Of the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing
ammonia poison without knowing it,.
The use Of ammonia in the manufac-
lures has greatly increased of late.
and il is unquestionably used as an
adulterant in certain food proper
ations. Official analy sis have plainly
shown its use even in such cheap ar.
iiclss OF every day consumption as
baking powders. The continued ab.
sorotion Of ammonia in even minute
quantities as an adulterant in food is
injurious not merely from its effect
upon the complexion, but because it
destroys the coating Of the stomach
and causes dyspepsia and kindred
evils.
Professor Long Of Chicago, Is au-
ihority for the statement that. il 10
fifty million parts of water there is
one part Of ammonia, the water is
dangerous.

mourn her loss.
1t is hard to tell the sadness
OF that mott ar, young and fair,
Thus to leave that home of gladness
And the loved ones lingering there.
When lift seemed all bright with blessings;
Hopeful plans her bosom filed,
How the busy hands grew pulseless;
How the happy heart was stilled.
How the summons sad and sadder,
Filled her loving soul with woe.
Who, she said, will guide my children
In the way I'd have them go?
Who like a devoted mother,
Feels their sorrows and their joys?
God alone can keep my children
Safely guard my girls and boys.
Then she gave her parting blessing
To her loved ones one by one
And in faith looked up to heaven,
Saying Lord, Thy will be done.
Mourn not, my dearest husband.
In your home now sad though fair,
I'll await you and the children;
We shall know each other there.

Scandinavian Emigrants.
New York "sun". April 9TH. 81. }

Aboard the Thingvalla Line Steam
ship "Hekla", that arrived at this
port on Sunday, there were 700 Scan
dinavian immigrants, healthy, hearty,
pithy, and light-haired young people
of both sexes. They were bound fol
the West, the far West, even for Da-
kota. where they will take up land and
begin a new life as American farmers,
raising grains, fruits, and cattle for
for their own nourishment and for the
service of mankind. They we're well
and warmly dressed as they marched
ashore. and they looked as though
they possessed all necessary sense,
reason. and practical qualities. There
were among them no paupers, or fel.
ons, or lunatics, or contract laborers
or persons afflicted with loathsome
diseases, and it was hardly necessary
for the inspection agents at the Barge
Office to take look at them in order
to see that they belonged to the class
known as desirable immigrants"
They had come to America as hun
dreds of thousands of other Swedes
and Norwegians have come during
the past forty years; they have struck
out West to take land as those others
did; and they are pretty sure of en-
joying the prosperity that so many of
their countrymen already enjoy here.
To them let bountiful nature give
good crops, fine breeds of cattle, and
pleasant long lives.
Now, if all our other immigrants
from Europe, including those from
Italy, Poland, Hungary, and Russia,
were as spirited as these Scandina-
vlans, and would follow their exam
pie. how much better it would be for
them than crowding into cities, strug-
Cling for daily hash and spending
years in complaining.
