Fraudulent Bank of England Notes which
Were Accepted In Boston.

Fraudulent Bank of England Notes Which
We're Accepted In Boston.
During the last one hundred and
eighty-fve years counterfeits have
been offered at the counters of the
Bank of England averaging from ff-
teen to twenty thousand dollars an
nually. In August, 1896, 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 broker on Wash
ington street, who subjected them to a
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 emf
grants on their way to America. A
large number of notes on the same
concern for one hundred and FIVE hum
dred pounds, dated August l6, 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
IT'S designs, the paper money which ie
rs good as gold in England is so simple
as to apparently invite imitation by
the forger. There is q 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
cern. Such thing happened not very
long ago during hurry of business, 1t
being 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
f1fty-franc and one hundred-franc bills
were thrown broadcast on the market

A Wonderful Piece of Carving.

One of the greatest works of Henry
Vorbruggen is the carved pulpit of the
grand parochial church at Brussels.
The whole design is an allegorical
scene. At the base are Adam and Eve,
life size, expelling the angel, while
grim death himself may be seen hover
ing in the rear. The first pair bear
upon their shoulders a hollow globe,
the cavity being the place where the
preacher stands while delivering his
sermons. From the globe rises tree
sustaining canopy, which in turn
supports two figures, one of an angel
and the other a female representing
Trnth. Above all this is the Virgin
and the infant Jesus crushing the ser
pent'S head with a cross

A BAD TIME TO LAUGH.

Remarks on the Untimeliness Of q Boys
Mirth.
As a matter of fact boy never
should laugh at his father until he (the
boy is eighteen years of age at least.
Earlier than that, according to the
Minneapolis Tribune, it is not safe. A
boy over near the university has for
several evenings stood up to eat his
meals, and all because he neglected
the above rule of conduct. His father
takes great pride in Hambletonian
colt he is raising. The old man fairly
delights in puttering around the
stable, and he can hardly wait until
that colt is four years old and trots a
mile to harness in 2:0556, as it surely
will. The other morning the pater was
fussing around in an old silk hat and
equally venerable greatcoat, pitch
fork in hand, and while he was work
ing about the colts heels the boy gave
the animal its feed. The colt does not
allow any familiarities while feeding,
and when the old man, in STOPPING
position, backed up against him the
colt lashed out with both feet. The
man stood SO near that the kick broke
no bones, but he was shot as from a
catapult right through the clapboards
on the side of the barn. His head was
driven through his tile, and when he
extricated himself from the splinters
the rim of his headgear hung around
his neck like ruff. He regarded the
whole business as rough, and delivered
an Grafton through his hat which the
boy regarded as amusing. The
youngster laughed. First he stood
and laughed, then he laid down and
laughed and rolled over and over and
hugged himself and still laughed. But
when that devoted father got clear
from the wreckage he seized the
nearest strap, and the boy has not
smiled once since. The boy knows now
that he is not big enough to laugh at
his father

A PERILOUS TRIP.
On Foot Through Tartary, Turkestan and
Siberia to st. Petersburg.


Siberia to st. Petersburg.
1t may be safely asserted that not
one of his Episcopal brethren has ever
performed such feat as formed an ep-
isode in the early life of the newly-ap-
pointed bishop of Norwich, says the
St. James Gazette After serving
couple of years as curate under DR..
Hook at Leeds, Mr.. Sheepshanks went
out to British Columbia in 1859, when
that colony was a far wilder and more
isolated country than now. He did
eight years Of rough work, and then
determined to come home for holiday,
at all events, electing to travel via
Japan and China, in those days by no
means familiar route. For months he
disappeared entirely from mortal ken,
and his family began to entertain seri-
ous misgivings as to his fate.
One evening a young Cambridge man,
afterwards head-master of a we'll
known grammar-school, but tutor for
the nonce to a Russian prince, was
smoking a cigarette in his rooms in St.
Petersburg, when his servant an
nounced that a moujik wanted to see
him very urgently. The unknown WIS.,
itor was shown up and appeared in the
well-worn garb from which Brian
OLynn derived his simple but practic-
al sartorial notions. To his hosts ut
ter bewilderment this uncouth being
addressed him in refined English, and
presently explained that he was a
brother Cantab desirous of securing
his good offices. The man, in short,
was Rev. John Sheepshanks, who, hav-
Ing landed some six months before
neAS the mouth of the Amoor river,
had made his way alone and on foot
through Tartary, Turkestan and 81.

The steamship men are talking of

according to the New York Evening
World, manages one of the biggest
lines running between the Mersey and
New York.
'It is our intention to establish a
counter on every one of our ships. The
department will be in charge of
landsman and an assistant, the latter
petty officer on board. 1t will be
necessary to select a landsman, because
sailor men know very little about no.
tion counters.
Everything to be found in first
class dry goods store will be put on
sale at this counter; everything, say,
with the possible exception of the
latest fangle in bonnets and trunks.
"We'n run a full line and sell as
good and as cheap as any firm on shore.
The time has gone by when passengers
have to be inconvenienced through an
oversight in having forgotten to pack
away shoe buttoners, particular kind
of glove, hair brush, hand glass or
any other article that makes human
nature kind and good.
"No, we won't have any special sales,
but We'll have silks and ginghams in
abundance, that the ladies may have a
chance to while away the monotony
OF the voyage. It's big scheme, and
it will be a great boon to our patrons
when it is fully established"

Men in 1000 A. ID.

A French statistician, who ha been
studying the military and other rec
ords, has found that in 1910 the aver
age height of man in Europe was five
feet nine inches; that in 1880 it was
five feet six inches; in 1920 it was five
feet five inches and fraction. At the
present time it is five feet three and
three-fourths inches. 1t is easy to de-
duce from these figures rate of regu-
lar and gradual decline in human
stature. The calculation shows that
by the year 1000 A. d. the stature of
the average man will be reduced to
fifteen inches.

IRELAND OF OTHER TIMES.
The Palmy Days of Dueiing, Hard Drink

The Palrny Days of Dueling, Hard Drink
ing, Fun and Joliiication.
Never was such a time of feasting
and jollifcation as the palmy days of
the Irish parliament, says All the Year
Round. The county elections were
continued scene of fighting, fun and
revelry. 1t is one continuous Donny-
brook fair, and the county elector,
with q good coat on his back and
money clinking in his pocket,
Steps into tent, just TO spend half q crown,
Steps out, meets a friend, and for joy knocks
him down
With his sprig Of shlllelah and shamrock 80
greeDl
With the same gayety of heart, the
gentlemen fought their battles with
more deadly weapons. At that time
dueling was recognized part of the
social code. The 'thirty-six command
ments," arranged by gentleman
of Galway, formed a complete set of
rules on all the punctilios of the
Guello. According to the printed rules
of Galway, seconds, if desirous, may
exchange shots at right angles to
their principals. and, lest the gentle
men should have forgotten their math-
ematics, there is diagram to explain
how this right-angled fire is arranged.
The pistol was national weapon, the
long, heavy dueling pistol, which was
handed to the principal by his second,
''the hints hammered and the feather
spring set" Some Irish gentlemen
who had served in France tried to SUBJ
stitute the small sword for the pistol,
and dueling club was formed in Dub
lin-"a most agreeable and useful as
sociation"-the members of which
styled themselves the "Knights of
Tara" and who strove by practice in
the fencing school and on the field of
honor to bring the rapier into fashion
again. But their practices were de-
nounced as frivolous" by the regular
blazers, and national habits were too
strong for the innovators. "Well hit,
but no lives lost" was the bulletin
most hoped for on the conclusion Of a
duel, for the kindly Irish nature re-
coiled from occasioning the death of a
neighbor, and perhaps friend, but
wounds were glorious, and none could
doubt the honor Of one who had been
winged on such an occasion.
