An old gray-haircd colored man

Eggs for Dysentery.

The egg is considered one of the
best remedies for dysentary; beaten
up lightly, with or without sugar,
and swallowed at a gulp, it tends,
by its emolient qualities, to lessen
the inflammation of the stomach
and intestines, by forming transit
ent coating on these organs, enables
nature to resume her healthful sway
over the diseased body. Two or at
most three eggs per day would be
all that is required in ordinary
cases; and since eggs are not mere
ly medicine but food as well, the
lighter the diet otherwise, and the
quieter the patient is kept, the
more certain and rapid is the re-
covery.

Detecting Spurious Coins.

Here's the way we test coins in
Treasury And the expert swiftly
poised the dollar piece horizontally
on the tip of his forefnger, hold
ing the thumb a quarter of an inch
away from it, and gave it a brisk
tap with another coin. A clear
silvery ring sounded out. "Good;
but here, listen" and he repeated
the operation with another coin
that gave out dull, heavy clink
that ceased almost as soon as it be-
gan. TYPE metal and lead mould

terfeit."
"How do you tell that it was
moulded?" asked a Springfield Re-
publican man.
He held the two coins so that the
light struck on their edges. "Just
compare the reeding, will you, or
milling, as most people call it. In
this genuine coin this is very clear
cut, in the counterfeit it is coarse
and dull That is because it is
moulded instead of being stamped
in cold metal like the Government
coins"
"Why do the counterfeits not use
the same cold process?"
at costs too much and makes
too much noise. With a mould,
you see, u counterfeiter can carry
on his work in a garret, and if a
policeman comes in he can shy the
whole outfit out of the window
But it takes great power to run a
die. Still some highhying counter
feiters do use them and their work
is usually harder to detect, though
it is never so perfect as that of the
Government mint"
"What is the surest test for coun-
terfeit coin for popular use?"
"The looks of the reeding, as I
was telling you-the milling-by
the way, is on the face of the coin
and not on the edge, as most peo-
pie think. That's the surest and
easiest thing, but, of course, other
tests have to be used, especially for
weight and thickness. A little
scale for weight and measure is the
handiest think to settle that. Then

Too Late.

A short time ago | happened to
make one OF IA merry party travel
ing on a western river steamer.
Every one was on the keen lookout
for any amusement, when at one
of the landings, a pair of originals
came on board, who had very much
the air of an elOping couple. The
man was tall, raw-boned speci-
men of the half-horse, half alliga-
tor class of westerners that are play
fully termed hoosiers, by people of
a sarcastic turn of mind. Amongst
those passengers who did not belong
to our party was solemn, porten-
tious looking individual, whom every
one set down as travelling preach-
er.
Towards night, while the fun was
at its height in the brilliantly light
ed saloon Of the steamer, | was con-
versing on the quarter deck with
the supposed reverend gentleman,
when a young man stepped up and
said to him: "We are going to
have wedding down stairs and
want you to officiate as pastor
"All right" he replied, laughing
ly, and we proceeded to the ladies'
cabin, where the couple of hoosiers
stood awaiting unity, surrounded
by chattering group of extempore
groomsmen and bridesmaids. There
had been several innocent kissing
matches and mock marriages dur.

at the time to be continuation OF
the rather exaggerated merriment
and 50 also thought the whom

fore him and the officiating priest
asked the necessary questions
Then in the usual way he pronounc-
ed them man and wife amidst the
applause of the bystanders.
After some time the mock preach.
er was about to retire, and had, in
fact, pulled off his coat, vest and
one boot, when one of the coloreC
stewards came and told him thai
the couple he had married in joke
had taken the thing in dead earnest
and had retired to the same state.
room. In horror at the enormity
of the mistake he had made, the
clerical looking gentleman rushed
to the stateroom just as he was
and raped fast and furiously at the
door. Getting no reply he yelled
out at the top of his voice i'll his
agitation:
"For heavens sake! I'm not
preacher, I'm only plain citizen.
The whole ship was aroused
Every stateroom around opened at
the noise, and the travellers stood
around in groups discussing the
affairs in whispers. Suddenly th'
stateroom door of the couple opened
slowly and the old gentleman ceas
ed his pounding. The head of tn,
male occupant protruded from the
doorway, and, amidst the impressive
silence that followed he said coolly

been the old gentleman's cashier for
a number of years. He was i'm
plicitly trusted, but--well, when
some one suggested to the old gen.
tleman that he was remarkably at
tentive to his daughter the old gen.
tleman looked solemn. He didn't
exactly approve of that.
But the young man was courteous
and he had pleasant, convicting G
way of putting things. He didn't
indite a letter to the old gentleman
he didn't walk into his Office hesi-
tatingly as if expecting rebuff, and
he didn { enter with the air of a bold,
bad man who does not intend to be
"bluffed." He entered in a quiet,
business-like way and said:

or twelve years, Mr.. Milbanks.'
Something like that, | believe"
responded the old gentleman, look
ing at him inquiringly.

time has been good" went OH the
young man.
Excellent" was the reply.

family"
The old gentleman began to see
what was coming and he prepared
for it, but he admitted the truth of
the assertion.
You have never had to have my
books examined by an expert" per-
sisted the young man.
"Never."
Very well. There is a matter
of some Importance to you and me
that | should like to speak about to

ly, feeling that the moment for firm
ness had come.
"Would you prefer me to marry

asked the cashier pleasantly.

rather startled; "I--Marry her here,
