A Difference.

The great difference between the sig. nifcation of words and terms in the English tongue which are almost the same in etymology and origin is great element of difficulty to a foreigner who is learning the language. Some cases of actual occurrence will illustrate this fact:
 A German, who applied to a New York house for employment, recon. mended himself thus:
 "The capacity in which like best to earn my living, and the one in which I am most able, is that of confidence man."
 He meant "confdential man," and his mistake was rather alarming to those to whom he wrote.
 One of the worst cases of the kind on record is that in which young French. man, wishing to flatter an American lady, wrote to her;
 "I wish greatly that once more could gaze on your unmatched eyes!
 He did not discover the great differ. ence between unmatched" and match. less" until he found out that the lady, who was just cross eyed enough to be interesting" had been deeply offended by his compliment.-Youth's Compan- ion.

Rough on the Snakes.

Snake stories are always in order in the spring, and the latest one comes from an interior town in Ohio, where the heat from the stove awakened the reptiles and they commenced to fall to the floor from holes in the ceiling. John Thompson, who lives in the Cheat river country, was in the city yesterday buy ing provisions for lumber camp. He tells tale that is not unreasonable and one can readily believe it.
 The mountains along the Cheat are famous for their blacksnakes, and they can be seen at any time during the day in the summer summing themselves on the rocks. Mir. Thompson says when the weather suddenly broke up about April and led number of people to throw off their underclothes, the black snakes awoke with start, rubbed their eyes and crawled out on the rocks to stretch themselves. The sun was so warm that many of them ventured far away from their winter homes, and when it suddenly got cold again the snakes couldn't get back. MT. Thomp- son claims he got tired of killing black snakes which were so stiff that they couldn't move. They were stretched out on the stones, and were at the mercy of the lumbermen, who amused them selves making the flat heads of the snakes more flat. This is true story Pittsburg Dispatch.

In A Florlda Garden.

Lovers of the beautiful, the beautiful in plant life, should pay visit to a garden belonging to private house at the corner of Market and Church streets. To say that it is blaze of color is to convey but faint idea of it; scarcely a bare spot of ground is to be seen for the length of an entire block-roses, pinks, calleopsis, phlox, pansies, sweet alyssum, all thrusting forward their claims for recognition. But the crowning glory of the garden is its poppies; surely such peoples never grew anywhere else than right here in Jacksonville and in that one garden. They are of all shades, from delicate pinks to deepest reds, and as double as it is possible for flowers to be. They grow from two to three feet high and the flowers themselves are at least three inches in diameter. That garden is worth walk to see.-Jackson- vile Times Union.

The New Treasury Notes.

Perhaps the principal object of the re. vision of the United States paper money is to make the backs of the notes more open, that is, less covered with the en- graving, so that the silk tibers shall be more distinctly visible.
 The distinctive paper now in use no longer has the two threads of silk run ming longitudinally through the note, but in their place are two stripes, each half an inch wide or so, of short red and blue silk fibers scattered thickly in the paper, in such manner that they show only on the reverse of the bill.
 These two fiber stripes practically di- vide the note into three sections of about equal size, and this feature of fiber in the paper is held to be an almost abso- lute safeguard against successful coun- terfeiting. But that is only one of sev- eral devices employed to insure the inviolability of the currency.
 Each note has an entirely separate design, the work of which is so open as to show readily any error of an attempt ed counterfeit, and no portion of the design is repeated on the same note; so that no small part could be engraved by a skillful operator and then duplicated by mechanical processes to fill any amount of space, as has been the case with some of the previous 'paper mon- ey" of the government.
 The geometrical lathe work of the new designs is said to be the most ex- quisite and complicated ever executed, and such as to utterly baffle any at tempt at its illicit reproduction.-Paper World

Horrible Accident at a New
 Mexican Ranch
While Trying Rain-Making Experi- ments a Charge of Dynamite
 Explodes and Kills a Man.

LAS VEGAS, N. M., June 23.-Word has just reached here of very distress ing accident which occurred at the ranch owned by Lewis Sutz and situat. ed about l20 miles southeast of this city, on Tuesday last, by which David Howell, of Emporia lost his life.
 Howell came here from Emporia about three weeks ago and went down to the ranch on pleasure trip on Tues day. They were trying rain-making ex. perimeuts when one charge of giant powder prematurely exploded and liter. ally blew Howell to pieces.
 The body was so mutilated that il could not be shipped here, but was bur jed at the ranch. The deceased was about 32 years old, and had never been married.
