THAT RECEIPT.

 There was circus in town that day. too, so he was feeling lonely and blue.
 "HaAo, little one. How do you like the looks of thoseg'
 It was, Paul's Uncle Jack who spoke, and as he came into the room he held up on g. little pink platter three luscious looking currant jelly tarts.
 ''Oh, could eat one right now, Uncle Jack"
 s.Go ahead then and I'll wait and see you do it. !"
 Cant you tell a story too2 You do make up such 'musing ones"
 Perhaps. What shall it be aboutw
 "'Bout-'bout-'bo me think. Oh, bout currant tarts, Uncle Jack" .'Currant tartsl We'll, now! Let me think little"
 And this is the story Uncle Jack told:
 Did you know that the Rewards de- seconded from an ancient Irish family of that name?
 They did. The family crest was an albatross rampant above currant tart, and holding fast in one claw something which looks like cigar lighter, or per- haps little stick of macaroni.
 Now, the currant jelly in these tarts was made from a receipt which has been handed down from the first Rewards.
 How they first came into possession of the receipt, and why they should adopt such funny crest or coat of arms is one and the same story. 'Steen hundred years or more there ruled in China the cruel emperor, Yuhwhan Kian.
 It was the day before one of the em- peror's birthdays, and he called his chief counselor to him, saying:
 ''Chief counselor, listen to me. To- morrow is my birthday; see to it that it is celebrated by grand festival and feast. And, mark you, have something then that is new and very entertaining" :"
 "But, exalted ruler, it is too short 8 time in which to arrange for 8 feast, but twenty hours until the morrow"
 "That is not my lookout. You will arrange for the feast. Now, begoner'
 And the chief counselor hurried away, tearing his silken robe into shreds and vowing that never did any chief coun- selor before him have such an unpleas- ant position, for the cruel emperor was in the habit of ordering birthday feast whenever he liked, whether it was real ly his birthday or not, and the chief counselor just had to hustle to keep Yuhwhan Kian pleased or he himself would be sure to lose his head and pig tail
 Then Yuhwhan Kian called the head cook of the cooking college to him and said:
 "Mignon-that was the head cooks name, being short for Mignonette- ''Mignon, tomorrow is my birthday"
 "Oh, s-s-sis-sirer'
 Mignon stuttered.
 "Yes it is, and no joking, either. Un- less the cooking college prepares new sweetmeat for that festival feast, you, slave, will lose your head. Begone!" And the head cook of the cooking col lege went away sorrowing, for the em- peror had had twenty-nine birthdays in the previous two years, and by this time his ingenuity was about played out. Now, while both the chief counselor and the head cook of the cooking college are racking their brains to discover, the

Philadelphia Record: Ms. H. is 8 young married lady, and an Episcopalian. Her husband is not a member of any church, but, as all good husbands should, he frequently attends church with his wife. His first attempt, however, to conform to the Episcopal form of service was so mortifying that he was almost tempted to folswear church-going alto gether.
 It was on Easter Sunday, and his wife had tried to coach him properly before hand, naturally wishing him to take part with her in the service.

 Now Nestri was no simpleton, and he did not wish the emperor to know how easy it was to play on the reed flute, so just before he gave it to him he stuffed the rolled up sheet of thin ivorine back into the flute out of sight.
 The emperor puffed out his fat cheeks. pursed up his lips and blew once, but not sound came. He blew second time, and no sound was forthcoming; third time-a tremendous blast this time the wind forced the receipt for the current jelly out of the flute and it fell on the floor at the foot of the em- peror's throne.
 Then the emperor was furiously an- gry and he hurled the reed flute at Nes- tri, hoarsely bawling:
 "Get thee gone, thou hoodoor'
 And Nestri ran for his life; butt the the receipt on the thin sheet of ivorine was left behind
 It was as the great-grandmother had said, the taste of the currant jell caused warning and strife. Yuhwhan Kian was obliged to go int, a ship out on the sea and carry the re- ceipt with him to keep it away from the other kings and emperors who were so anxious to possess it. One afternoon, as the fat old fellow was sitting on the deck of@~his junk and carefully holding the rolled up sheet of ivorine, an albatross flying above mis- took it for piece of macaroni. The big albatross knew that macaroni was very nutritious, and being hungry he swooped down and stole the ivorine roll.
 And now there arose a fierce storm, and the cruel emperor's junk was sunk and he drowned But the wind blew the albatross right inland.
 It blew so hard and so long that the great bird was finally driven northwest entirely over Europe and Asia, until he dropped at last on the coast of Ireland, where he was found by two Irish gen tlemen more dead than alive. Clutched 'spasmodically in his claw was the re- ceipt on the ivorine roll. 'What is it?' said one.
 ''And it's not that know, Murry."
 ''Don't you, MT. Heyward? Take an- other look at it. Being professor, you might know what those funny letters are."
 So the professor looked again, and be- ing very wise he was able to guess at what the queer letters were. "Sure, Murry, we have found won- derful receipt for making the filling for em?- -'m?-yes, filling for tarts. And, furthermore, I'm thinking that this same receipt was written by Tartar

Z The Great Bank of England Swindle.

,< The Great Bank of England Swindle.
 Four Americans, named George and Austin Bidwell, George Mcdonald and Edward Hills, contrived to defraud the Bank of England of nearly e1 .000, ,000. They accomplished their swindle by talk ing advantage of custom of the bank which had grown up through the gen eral honesty of business men and meth ods in England. The bank was accus- toned to receive bills of exchange in deposit on account, without verifying their signatures or the acceptances. Probably until the Bidwells began to experiment on them the bank authori- ties never had had such paper offered them otherwise than in good faith.
 These men contrived by pretense and falsehood to secure the necessary intro duction to the bank officers, and opened an account with them under an assumed name. They then had several hundred bills of exchange printed on counterfeit plates and flooded the Bank of England with these bills from all over the world, all signed and accepted with apparent regularity. The bank unhesitatingly cashed these and put the proceeds to the credit of the swindlers, who drew out the money in ostensible business trans, actions in such way as to excite nc suspicion on the part of the bank of ficials.
 At last the rascals betrayed themselves by neglecting to date the acceptance oi two of the fraudulent bills. The bank sending these to the acceptors to have the omission supplied, discovered the fraud at once. After an exciting chase by detectives all the men were arrested then tried and convicted, and all sen fenced to prison for life. In 1888 George Bidwell was pardoned and allowed tt return to the United States. The others are still in prison.-London Letter.

 EXAMPLES OF THE CODE.
 A few excerpts from tho code will show it's character and scope and give an idea of what may be accomplished in the way of speed with its aid. Short phrases that occur frequently are repre- sented by single letters, as t'F" means ..of the,' K" means ''out of the, "V', means s.of which, and so on. There are about 6,00O abbreviations and sym bols of two and three letters represent. ing much used words or short phrases. s.Pprn" stands for preparation" "Sby, 7 subsequently," 'Nbh,' ''neighbor- hood;o "Kcn," 'sconcentration.

 With the aid of the Phillips code the sending operator can transmit sixty words a minute with greater ease than he could send thirty without it. The receiving operator with his typewriter can keep up to his speed as pleasant pastime. It is impossible to rush him. The actual speed of transmission has been increased from between thirty and thirty-five words to from fifty to sixty words minute
