fraudulent Bank Of England Notes Which
Were Accepted In Boston.

fraudulent Bank of England Notes Which
Were Accepted In Boston.
During the last one hundred and
e1ghty-hve years counterfeits have
been offered at the counters of the
Bank of England averaging from if
teen to twenty thousand dollars an
nually. In August, 1866, several notes
on the institution for fifty pounds each
were taken in Boston. They were of
extraordinary excellence and deceived
many experts, according to the Wash
ington Star. About the same time
notes of the same denomination were
offered in Chicago to a broker on Wash
ington street, who subjected them to q
critical examination. While he was
gazing at the water marks by holding
the bills between his eye and the light
the person who offered them said he
would leave them for closer inspection
and skipped out. Similar fifty pound
notes have recently been found circu-
lating in Antwerp and many of them
have fallen into the hands of emil
grants on their way to America. A
large number of notes ON the same
concern for one hundred and five hun
dred pounds, dated August 16, 1888,
have been offered from time to time
and declared bogus. In the Office of
the treasurer of the United States at
Washington two Bank of England
notes are exhibited, framed on the
wall, alongside of some artistic speci-
mems of Uncle Sans currency. The
contrast is very striking. Whereas the
bureau of engraving and printing here
depends for protection against coun-
terfeiting upon the elaborateness of
its designs, the paper money which is
as good as gold in England is so simple
as to apparently invite imitation by
the forger. There is small amount
of lettering and nothing else. How
ever, the great financial establishment
which sustains the credit of Great
Britain depends upon the water marks
in the paper 1t uses, to reproduce which
would require factory and the high
est degree of mechanical skill. Fur
thermore, the imitation of its securi-
ties is so relentlessly punished as to
seriously discourage the crime. Never
theless, counterfeits on the Bank of
England have been cashed more than
once at the very counters of that con-
Germ. Such thing happened not very
long ago during hurry of business, it
being a day for the payment of div
idends on the national debt. Advan-
tage was taken of these circumstances
to present twelve forgeries for fifty
pounds each, which were cashed with
out suspicion. Many limitations of the
provincial notes of Ireland have been
circulated. Likewise numerous coun-
terfeits of notes on the Bank of France
have appeared from time to time. Only
a few months ago great quantity of
fifty-franc and one hundred-franc bills
were thrown broadcast on the market.

THE LIONS TASTE.
What the King of the Forest Finds to
His Liking.

Lions and elephants were the game
bagged by Mr.. Selous, who, having
spent twenty-one years in Africa, re-
Gently returned to London from
Mashonaland. Mr.. Selous confessed
that he had killed one hundred ele-
plants and twenty-five lions, says the
London Graphic. His best lion story
was about a mail carrier in Mashona-
land. The man In question was riding
one horse and leading another (which
carried the mails) when the lion made
his appearance and his spring. The
latter demoralized the mail complete
ly. One horse was bowled over, the
other broke away without his rider,
and the mail carrier very naturally
lost all interest in the mail.
The lion did not succeed in detain-
ing either of the horses (they turned
up next day at the fort, one very badly
wounded, and without the mail bags),
so he returned to the unfortunate car
rier. Him the lion freed, and then sat
down at the foot of the tree to await
developments. Fortunately for the
carrier they did not develop entirely
as the lion could have wished, for the
next day a caravan passed, and the
lion stalked away into the bush, doubt
less with an increased contempt for
the refinements of civilization. The
mail bags were not found for months
afterward.
Are lions fond of man meat?"
NO" said AIr. Seloas, 'they prefer
donkeys. think the donkeys remind
them of zebras. They have no distaste
for horses. But they will attack
human beings. 1 once knew a lion to

4 CURIOUS CASE.
1t Established the Fact That There Are
Some Rights Which Can't Be Waived.

1t Established the Fact That There Are
Some Rights Which Can't BE Waived.
A defendant in a murder case in New
York state was once placed on trial be-
fore jury of twelve, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. A member of the jury died
during his trial. The prisoners coun-
sci agreed with the district attorney
that the trial should continue before
eleven jurors and that no record of the
death of one of their number should be
entered on the minutes of the court.
The prisoner was convicted and SEN
fenced to punishment. An appeal was
afterward taken to the effect that
neither his counsel nor the district at
torney nor the court por the prisoner
had right to waive the latter's right
to trial by twelve jurors. The con-
viction was set aside for that reason.
As, however, nothing in the record
showed in a formal and official way
that the trial occurred and that the
verdict was rendered by less than
twelve jurors, it was also held that the
man had been put once in jeopardy
and could not be put twice in the same
position. He was, therefore, dis
charged. He was thus tried and not
tried, found guilty and not found gull
ty, convicted and practically acquitted
all at the same time and under the
same proceeding. The contention was
that every man indicted and tried for
crime previous to his arraignment, and
everyone who might be so indicted and
so tried after his arraignment had an
interest in his trial by twelve jurors, a
right to his trial by twelve jurors, and
that when he waived his own right he
impaired their rightin their trial and
their right in his trial, and that the
thing could not be permitted. This
illustrates how a man holds some of
his rights in trust for all the past and
for all the future. Of such rights he
cannot divest himself and cannot be
Invested.

COURAGE of the EIenhant,

An elephant gives, perhaps, the best
instance of disciplined courage to be
seen in the animal world. They will
submit, day after day, to have painful
wounds dressed in obedience 10 their
keeper, and meet danger in obedience
to orders, though their intelligence is
sufficient to understand the peril and
far too great for man to trick them
into belief that it is nonexistent. No
animal will face danger more readily
at mans bidding.

AN INDIAN SHAMPOO.
How the Arizona Aborigines Dress Their
Hair q la Adobe

-
IF by any chance one Of our Arizona
Indians should go into barber shop
and ask to have his hair dressed he'd
run out of the shop when he discovered
the BARRIERS way of dressing hair"
said an Arizonian. 1.-The Indians out
there, both men and women, are very
fond of shampoo, but don't believe
their way will ever become popular
among white folks. Both sexes wear
their hair long, reaching nearly to the
waist, and cut square across. Now
they wouldn't think of such a thing as
touching those raven locks of theirs
with brush or comb. When the Ari-
IONA Indian feels that his hair wants
doing up he makes a thick paste of the
adobe soil and water. He winds his
hair tightly about his head and smears
it from his forehead to the back of his
neck with a plentiful supply of the
paste, so that his head looks as if it
were in plaster mold, for the clay is
gray and sticky. He lets the adobe
cast get perfectly dry, and then cracks
it off his hair, which comes from under
this novel shampoo clean, smooth and
glossy. Ehe women dress their hair in
the same way"

Snubbed the Prince,

In spite of the privacy which Tenny-
son maintained many are the anecdotes
of him or of his household.
1t is told that once certain famous
prince of the house of Hanover, famil-
lar with the poets shrinking habits,
yet anxious to pay his respects to him,
found himself near Tennyson's home in
the Isle of Wight. The prince called,
unaccompanied and strictly incognito.
A page came to the door.
Whom shall say?"
"The prince of Wales" was the reply
Whereupon the page, performing a
gesture somewhat similar to one de-
scribed by Tennyson as performed by
Lynette-in other words, putting his
dexter thumb to nose ''tiptilted like
the petal of flower"-playfully OBJ
served:
''Ha, yes; prince of Wales; we know
a trick worth two of that and he

royal highness.-Chicago Tribune.
