Painstaking Forgers.

"Men try in every way possible" said
prominent bank president, ito obtain
the signatures of New York bankers.
Their object is evidently to use them
in committing forgeries. At least we
suspect so, and for that reason try to be
as careful as possible in signing letters.
In this bank we have many letters
from the west of such Il trivial nature
that we suspect an Interior motive upon
the part of the writers, and if we answer
them at all do so by typewriter, even to
the signature.
Zone forger or cOunterfeiter III lndi-
ana is exceedingly systematic and per-
sistent in his efforts to obtain the sigma
lures of our officers. AS regularly as
the year comes around he writes, inclos-
ing $40 bill, and requests us to send
him one of our new $40 bank notes in
exchange.
He always gives the same reason for
the reQuest-that he wants it for his col
lection OF course that is nonsense We
believe that he wants a new bill so that
he may discover if we have changed our
officers and get their signatures.
He never does get them though. We
always return his bill with typewrit-
ten letter on paper containing no names,
excusing ourselves on the ground that
we have no circulation outstanding

Ex-SPEAKEE REED capped the climax for
day when he prevented the carrying out
of a special order setting apart that day
for eulogies on the late Senator Gibson, of
Louisiana, by forcing an adjournment by
raising the point of 20 quorum on amo-
ton to discharge the warrant issued by
the sergeant at arms to arrest absentees
during the time the contested election
cases, settled last week, were pending.
All of the blame for this state of affairs
does not. however. belong to Reed and
the republicans There are 2lS demo-
Gratis in the house, and if 179 of them
would remain constantly IL their seats
Reed and his obedient gang would be
powerless to stop the wheels of Legislation
in their efforts to compel the speaker to
count quorum. as they have tried so
often to do of late.
THE result of the first week : debate on
the tariff bill in the senate is not encourag-
ing to those who wish for speedy action on
the bill. and Senators Hill, Murphy, Brice
aud Irby, who Intentionally or uninten-
tionally, aided the republicans to delay de-
bate. have been sharply criticised by dem
ocrlts Senator Hills speech has also
brought additional democratic caiticism
upon his head 1t was, of course, ex-
pected that the republicans would resort to
tilibustering when the democrats began to
take steps to bring the debate to a close
but to the surprise of everyone they began
tilibustering for delay almost at the very
beginning of the debate and it is clear
that they intend to keep it up to the end.
Senator Harris, who has charge of the
bill, proposes TO force show of hands
this week. by asking that the sittings of
the senate be prolonged two hours day
and that the tariff bill be taken up earlier
e,cI day. He intends to put the senators
on record in order that the country may
see who are in favor of pushing the debate
TO a conclusion and vino are the obstruc-
tors. and he doesn't believe that when
the issue is squarely raised any democrats
will be found in the latter class.

Calling Smith.

Miss Kate Field relates an experience
which she had in trying to sleep in
hotel in Utah mining town where the
partitions between the rooms We're of
boards merely and quite innocent of
lath and plaster. The ordinary going
and coming of the early part of the night
were bad enough, but toward morning,
when at last she had fallen asleep, loud
voice shouted from her keyhole:
"Smith! Smith,
AS her name was not Smith, she made
no response.
SMITH came the shout again. Its
time to skip."
my name is not Smith," she then an
swered.
From across the hall came the call of
the day clerk, who occupied the room
there:
mo. That amt Smith. Smiths at
the end of the hall"
well, this is the end of the hail."
came from the neighborhood of the key
hole again. 1t was the voice of the por-
ter.
Aren't there two ends to the hall?
It's the other end, you blockhead."
"Who wants Smith," came a sharp
voice from the distance. I'm Smith"
whats the matter? I'm Smith,"
came still another voice.
"Well, whichever Smith wants to get
up at o'clock, him's the one," growled
the porter.
Both these Smiths slammed their doors
with a vehement protestation that they
didn't want to get up.
"It's Smith in No. 1r' screamed the
day clerk.
The right Smith had not been walked
at all, so the porter found No. l and
pounded on the door so hard that every
body in the house who had not already
been walked was aroused, and several
people rushed out into the hall, thinking
there was fire.
The porter went down complacently
to the Office ON the floor below.
"Well," said he to the night clerk, Il
walked him up anyhow"

HAIR OYElNG AN ANCIENT ART.
from Cleopatra Down Women Have Re

from Cleopatra Down Women Have Re-
sorted to the Dangerous Practice.
The art of dyeing the hair is at least
IS old as the time of Christ. 1t was by
esorting to such aids to beauty that Gle
,patra tried to capture Caesar. All
through history ladies of fashion have
ried to improve upon nature by artiti-
tally coloring that which St. Paul tells
is is their glory.
In the heyCay of Venice the facile
beauties of the city of the lagoons dyed
heir hair n red, to which Titan was not
lshamed to affix his name.
The belle of bellies in that day had red
lair-not bright red, but a dull red
With glintS of crimson. More recently
almost in our own time-a rage arose for
bright blond hair, as to which there was
tradition that it had been popular with
the Greek hetairae.
Blond heads blocked the thorough
'ares, and young ladies of good repute
lid not disdain to employ the dyer until
lis services were monopolized by another
class. In our day the popular color is n
bright shade of auburn-the blond cen
Ire of the boulevards-and silly girls go
through martyrdom to impart that tint
20 their locks. For the popularity of
blond hair the argonaut finds this ex-
-use, that it is rarer than black or brown
hair and finer. Every body knows that
he legend of the golden fleece was sug
gested by the ardor with which Jason
and other Greek connoisseurs pursued
he blond haired maidens of Colchis.
Almost all hair dyes consist of sulphur
and acetate of lead. both of which are
injurious to so delicate plant as human
hair. A steady course of either will I'M
pair the vitality of the hair papilla and
may destroy the medulla altogether.
Women who bleach their hair use per-
oxide of hydrogen, which after time
,mparts an unnatural and wiglike luster
10 the hair. A more dangerous dye still
has for its basis nitrate of silver.
When this is used, the hair is first
washed with sulphuret of potassium.
The nitrate is applied while it is still
wet. In all these cases the drug is adul-
terated with a pigment of the desired
color, and the effect for the time is to
substitute that color for the natural hue
IF the cortical substance or hair bark.
1t need hardly be said that the effect of
continued use of such indictments is
TO enfeeble and ultimately to rot the root
sheaths. Badness then ensues, and for
that science has discovered no remedy

A Curious Parasite.

1t is an old saying that every dog has
his day. According to an English au-
thority, that day is neither very long nor
specially comfortable in FIJI. 1t is i'm
possible to keep foreign dogs alive for
much more than a couple of years. Those
born there may live four years. The
cause Of this mortality is species of
worm that lives in the blood vessels, ar
teries and heart. Adult specimens of
this parasite sometimes measure as much
as five inches, and the blood of some an
imals is actually swarming with them.
Puppies are often troubled with them,
although it seems to take about six
months to develop then. to a troublesome
stage. When dog is attacked, it begins
with sharp barking, which is at once
recognized as the beginning of poor Fido's
last chapter. Thus far no remedy has
been found or even suggested. The same
parasite is found in dogs in eastern Asia,
and identical symptoms are noted. The
animal may live six months to two years
after the first indications are Observed

To one of them came fairy saying that

he Was Rescued From Impending Death
by n Clever Newspaper Ruse.
On the battlefield of Antietam Mr.. Nc
Clure met General William j. Palmer,
then a captain, and strongly urged him
not to continue his movements as spy
after Lee had crossed into Virginia, but
the gallant young soldier gave no prom
Use as to what he would be likely to do,
and the very first night after Lee crossed
the Potomac he was again in Lees camp
and brought back important information
to General Mcclellan.
Again he returned and entered the
Confederate lines, and when he did not
report after week it was assumed that
he had been captured and would proba-
bly, be executed as a spy. He had been
captured. was tried and condemned as a
spy and sentenced to be executed, but he
was saved by clever Newspaper device
determined upon after a conference in
this city between President j. Edgar
Thomson of the Pennsylvania railroad,
Colonel Scott and Mr.. Mcclure. Thorn
son took special interest in Palmer, as he
had been his secretary, and was much at
tached to him.
1t was decided that Washington dis
patches should be prepared for all of the
Philadelphia morning papers announc-
ing the arrival at the capital of Captain
William j. Palmer, stating in what par
ticular lines of the enemy he had oper-
ated, and adding that he had brought
much important information that could
not be given to the public at the time.
These dispatches appeared next morning
in all the Philadelphia papers, promi-
nently displayed, and of course reached
the southern lines within As hours.
The result was that Captain Palmer's
identity was never established in Rich
mond, and his execution was thus sus-
pended. In little while, when some
prisoners had been exchanged, there was a
vacancy made in the list of the exchanged
men by death. Palmer's friends had
him take the place and name of the dead
soldier, and he thus escaped and returned
to the service.-Philadelph Times.

When an Elephant Is Crazy.

When we present the elephant in pos
session of such intellectual gifts as may
be his, there has to be considered the
case of the elephant that, being must"
"a disease akin to frenzy-is for time
bereft of its senses. 1t is only the male
that suffers from this affliction of insan-
ity, but every male is liable to it some
time or other, and unfortunately may be
attacked by it without warning of any
kind.
Some men Of long experience of ele-
plant keeping say that the ''must" con-
dition is preceded by premonitory symp-
toms, and if taken in time may, by diet
and treatment, be averted; but, without
presuming to contradict those better in
formed people, can aver that / have

Indian COrOnetR.

American women who long for coro-
nets should hesitate before accepting In
dian ones. The case of an English woman
who sued for divorce from her Hindoo
husband points a moral. She alleged
cruelty as ground for her suit, and it
is claimed that the same plea might be
made by nearly all the women who mar
ry orientals and go home with them.
As q usual thing, the oriental gentle
man pursuing his studies at an English
or American university is picturesque
figure. He is likely to be very clever,
and it is taken for granted that he is a
prince at least, when he is at home. He
is popular with his fellows, and through
one of them he meets and marries a
pretty, freely brought up girl. Then he
takes her home.
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husbands family, for the orr
entails have many amiable and attractive
qualities, and they are not cruel But
If the husband has not cut himself adrift
from the religion and ties of his child
hood his wife must conform to certain
extent to the ordinary life of the native
woman. And, inasmuch as she will
only do this so far as her love and duty
to her husband oblige her, she will GER
tainly fail to satisfy her new relatives
and will be looked ON with GOODNESS and
by them.--New York World.
