Wire for Tomato Vines.

A correspondent in Vicl's Mara
zine writes that he uses wire pett;nsr
as support for tomatoes. and finds.
it very satisfactory: He sets stont
stakes in the ground, about seven faet
apart, in the row of tomato ula.ts
10 these stakes, about foot from t,,,,.,
ground, he nails wire netting that Il
4 feet wide, therby making trellis
% feet high. AS the vines grow he
ties them to this support. He has also
trained sweet peasin the same way to
wire netting 81 feet wide. When the
vines were dead in the fall he eus
hem away, dug up the posts, rolled
up the wire without loosening it from
he posts and put il all away in an
'ut-building for use the next wear
t will last for years to come. and Il
has already paid for itself.

Counterfeit Coins.

Government detectives are cndeav-
oring to discover a mint which is
turning out counterfeit dollars, halves
and quarters in the vicinity of Lima,
Ohio. The coins are pronounced to
be the best ever turned out. The
gang started in Buffalo and flooded
all the towns along the lake TO De-
troit and It is thought that fully $10,-
600 worth Of the bogus money has
been put into circulation during the
past three or four days. The Secret
Service officers gained information
which caused them to believe that
the plant is situated near Toledo, and
are working on that clue. The coin
is described as follows: The impress
sion Is perfect the ring but shade
removed from the genuine. The
counterfeit is dated 1877. There Is a
slight defect on the edge, where there
Is an extra line that does not appear
on the genuine. Besides, the genuine
issue of 1877 contains no letters on
the reverse side, where the counter
felt has two eos" 1t is, perhaps, the
most dangerous counterfeit in exist
