The funeral of the late Ephraim Gels
singer, of near Blue Church, Upper
Saucon township, was held with con-
siderable difficulty. At the home of
the deceased's parents, about two miles
from the church, elaborate preparations
were made all day Tuesday for the din
ner which was to be served at the con-
clusion Of the obsequies. A calf was
killed and set aside to await the roasting
process. When the hour arrived for this
on Wednesday the matrons having the
affair IN charge were greatly surprised to
find that during the night some person
had stolen the calf, together with other
of the funeral meats. 1 l.ss.

The business OF the theatrical press
agents has been so annoyingly overdone
in this city that the boomers are under
taboo in the newspaper Offices, and the
critics Of several of the greater Journals
deny themselves Absolutely to these WIS.,
itors. When it Is considered that, even
after the destruction by fire of the Fifth
Avenue, we have thirty-five dramatic
theatres in New York and the suburbs.
besides almost as many more variety
shows, concert halls and other places of
amusement, it Is clear that the small
army of stalwart boomers would become
intoierable if permitted The conse-
Quence is that most of the local manap-
ers have abandoned the practice of send
ing solicitors to the newspaper Offices,
but instead mail the particulars of their
plans and such other matter as they wish
TO have published. salss -.
This material is treated differently by
the dramatic editors, according to the
usages OF the various offices. The situa-
ffOn is sometimes puzzle to the press
agents OF the travelling companies that
come into town. The majority of these
energetic gentlemen intermit their La
bors largely upon being informed that
they are likely to do more harm than
good, but the minority do not take va
cation 80 lazily. One of these workers
has this week poetized his usually prosa-
ic efforts. He has sent to each important
journal an original and exclusive poem
in praise of an actress who employs him.
The verses are smoothly rhymed and
metred and they extol the lady's beauty
and ability with all the enthusiasm of a
knight of old exuberant over his lady
love. None of these effusions, however,
has yet gained publication.-New York

Counterseit Currency.

More counterfeit money is in actual
circulation than people in general be
heve," remarked teller in one of Chi
cago's leading banks recently. ..Of
course only the better class Of counter
feits remain in circulation, and even
then do not pass undetected long. The
detection OF counterfeit bill, however,
does not retire it from circulation BY
any means. A grocer, for instance, who
finds five, dollar counterfeit bill in his
money drawer at night, is liable to argue
that he cannot well afford to lose the
amount and also that counterfeit
which was good enough to deceive him
is good enough to deceive some one else.
THE next day some customer gets it
in change, and ten to one it is passed
through dozen hands before the dis
covery is again made that it is bogus.
But its mission does not end here. Per-
haps the Last holder of the bill can tell
who paid it to him. If so the counter
felt starts to retrace its course. but it
rarely goes very far before it stops, and
the whole scheme is worked over again.
We frequently have counterfeit money
offered for deposit. A merchant may
bring in several hundred dollars, and
among the bills is q single counterfeit.
OF course it is thrown ont as soon as it is
discovered But where does it go? Into
the hands of the man that brought it in.
Does he destroy it? Perhaps, if he is
a scrupulously honest man. Chicago

The census bureau, with an the rest od
its work has been attempting to- asoer-
tain the yalne OF the carp which have
been introduced into American waters.
One man, to whom schedule was sub
mitted replied that the carp IN his pond
had been worth 81 900 to him IN the past
six months. His wife had been sick and
he had fed her exclusively upon carp, to
which diet he attributed her recovery.
She was worth 81 900 at least, and
therefore he estimated his gain on his in

Pecufi.rities of the Gulf stream.

Thls river ls very warm because it
comes from the Gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean sea, where the sun has been
heating it for a long time. Of course
after it has left its southern home, and
is making its journey across the Allan
tic, it is gradually becoming cooler, but,
nevertheless, it maintains to the shores
OF Europe, even well up toward the
Arctic regions, much higher tenn
perature than that of the surrounding
air or water.
1t has its own 6nny inhabitants and
other animal life; curious little fish and
crabs that make nests in the floating sea-
weed; beautiful little jelly fish called
thimble fish, floating or swimming near
its surface in such countless numbers
that at times the waters are brown with
them; and the graceful flying fish, which
dart out of the water in schools; and
countless myriads of minute animal life
floating about, SO that when the sun is
shining high in the heavens, the water
seems to be flied with notes. These
little things, dying, sink to the bottom,
and their diminutive skeletons or shells
go to form an ooze, which, if exposed to
the air and to pressure, resembles chalk.
This ocean river is quite unlike the
rivers of the land in point of nze. The
Mississippi. at q point below its lowest
tributary, is about 2,000 feet wide and
100 feet deep. At places it Is wider. than
this, but there it is shallower. The Gull
stream, at its narrowest point in the
Strait of Florida, is more than z, ZOO feet
deep and over 40 miles wide.-Lieut.
