TbeIr ideas ofC,tIzenshIp.

I was rather amused few days ago,
Just on the eve of the last day of re-
gistration, to listen to some of the
quaint answers returned to the ques-
tons asked of applicants In the court
of common pleas before admission to
citizenship. In many cases they were
more amusing than stupid, and un-
consciously contained no little truth, as
when an Italian defined the business OF
an assemblyman as making money in
Albany. The most amusing case of all,
however, was that of an Irishman. he
had answered every question correctly
until the court asked:
%Are you attached to a republican
form of government
Indeed, and I'm not.
@But you must understand that ex-
cent you are attached to this form OF
government you cannot be naturalized.
WHY are you not favorably disposed to
the republican form of government? 2
Because, your homer, I'm q Demo-
crat. when it was explained to him
that there was q wide difference be-
tween q citizen OF . republic and Q
Republican party he duly qualified.

Blanks Free Chicken,

There is a gentleman in North Seat.
tie, Wash, Mr.. Blank, who keeps 8
number of hens, which, in days gone
by, have managed to make their eacape
from the hen-pen and have worried 8
neighbor, Mr.. Dash, very badly. Mr.
Dash keeps hens, too, but he has always
managed, as he supposed, to keep them
securely inside the picket fence which
marks the boundary of their home.
One day recently. says Seattle cor.
respondent, MIR. Dash sent note to
Mr.. Blank to the effect that if he did
not keep his hens to home he would be
compelled to shoot them. Mr.. Blank
examined his hen-pen carefully. and
counted his chickens. They were all
at home, and he could see no possible
way for them to escape. He at once sat
down and wrote his neighbor a polite
note, saying that he was sorry that his
hens proved such an annoyance, and ii
they troubled him he should surely not
object to their being shot. Just shoot
Them" wrote Blank, "and throw them
over the fence into my yard and will
take care of them"

came home he found a dead chicken
lying in his front yard, with half
pound of shot in it. He took it up,
dressed it, and the next day had the
pleasure of eating it.
The next day there were two, and the
next day three. He had fried chicken
for breakfast, cold chicken for luncheon
roast chicken for dinner, and spring
chicken to sell, but still the supply
kept up, while, strange to say. his chick
ems did not seem to decrease In num-
Der.
One day Mr.. Blank was standing out
in his front yard when Mr.. Dash came
along, with puzzled expression on his
face.
Say, Blank" exclaimed he, show
many of your chickens have 1 killed."
"You have not killed any," was the
reply.
AWhat do you mean," exclaimed the
astonished Dash.
why, look at your hen-pen and see"
Dash made rush for the fowl-yard
to size up the situation. Instead of the
fifty sleek-looking hens that the yard
had contained month before scarcely
twenty hens remained, while q small
hole in the corner of the pen told the
rest of the story to the Infatuated Dash.
"To think, exclaimed Dash, "that 1
should keep that dod-gasted, measley
Blank in chickens for a month, while
my own family were RECALLING them
selves on pork and beans! It's too
bad"

MorHER's MENDINo BASKET.

Over and under, in and out,
The swift little needle flies;
For always between her and idlenesg
THE mending basket lies;
And the patient hands. though weary
Work lovingly on and on,
At tasks that never are finished;
For mending is never done.
She takes up the fathers stocking
And skillfully knits in the heel.
And smooths the seam with tender touch,
THAI he may no roughness feel
And her thoughts to her merry g1rlhood
And her early wifehood go,
And she smiles at the first pair OF stockings
She knit so long ago.
Then she speaks to the little maiden
Learning to knit at her side,
And tells her about those stockings
Uneven and shapeless and wide
Il had to ravel them out, my dear,
Don't be discouraged but try,
And after while you'll learn to kuit
As swift as even /.
She takes up little white apron,
And thinks Of the woeful face
OF her darling when she came crying,
'Oh mamma I've torn my lace?"
So she mended the childs pet apron,
Then looked up q tiny shoe,
And fastened stitch that was broken,
And tied the ribbon Of blue.
The maiden has wearied Of working,
And gone away II nef pay
The sun in the west is sinking
At the close of the quiet day.
Now the mothers hands are resting,
Still holding a stocking Of red,
And her thoughts in the twilight shadow
To the far-off future have fed.
Obi where will the little feet wander
Before they have time to rest?
Where will the bright heads be pillowec
When the mothers loving breast
Is under the springs's blue violets,
And under the summer grass
When over her fall the Autumn leaves,
And the storms Of winter pass?'
And a prayer from her heart she utters;
"God bless them, my dear ones ALI
OF may it be many, many years
Ere sorrow to them befall"
To her work from the mending basket
She turns with heart at rest,
For she knows that to husband and children
She is always the first and best.

An Almost Perfect Imitation OF the Five
Dollar Coin.


An Almost Perfect Imitation OF the Five
Dollar Coin.
The most dangerous counterfeit even
known In the history of the coinage oi
this government has been found by the
authorities of the mint In this city, says
the Philadelphia Record. It Is q s.
gold piece designed and executed with
such remarkable skill that few of the
experts can distinguish the spurious
coins from the genuine. In general ap-
pearance, color, weight, and design the
counterfeit is perfect. It is an exact
fac-simile of the true coin except IN
size. 1t is Slightly larger in diameter,
but the discrepancy is so small that only
careful measurement with q special In.
strument In the hands of q skillful man
will reveal the difference, and even an
assay has been found necessary to estab-
lish definitely its character. Only q
few have been discovered in the mint,
but even conjecture can not approx
mate the number that are floating
through the banks and the sub-treasur-
les.
The principal fact which makes them
most difficult of detection is that they
are made Of gold, but the metal is Of
lower grade than the Government stand.
and, which is 900 fine. The spurious
pieces are about fifty points less. As
says made at the mint have shown that
they have an intrinsic value of $40,
leaving the counterfeiter profit of go
cents on each piece for his labor. The
same skill which characterizes the de-
sign and execution of the coin is OBJ
served in the reduction of the standard.
The alloy is so skillfully made up that
the weight Is made to correspond with
exact preciseIess to the genuine coin.
The authorities have only theory as
to how the false coins are made, but
they are satisfied of the correctness Of
their conclusions. The counterfeiter
appears to possess some process by which
he can temper a genuine coin to de-
gree of great hardness. He understands
also how steel can be refined and soft
ened so that it can be made to take an
indented impression like piece of lead.
Having adapted his steel, he places it
upon hardened coin, which he then
subjects to a quick, heavy pressure.
The metal receiving the impression is
next hardened, and when this process
is finished the counterfeiter has an al
most perfect die with which to stamp
his pieces. It differs from the genuine
die only in that the pressure required
for the impression expands the coin,
making the die slightly larger In diam
eter. This circumstance furnishes the
explanation for the difference existing
between the sizes of the genine and
false coins.
