Old Time COUNT rfeit CTS.

A miner operating onfMller's ranch, near
Latrobe, while following up II pocket"
lead unearthcd an ironipot containing 81 600
in what appeared to be gold coins, They
turned out, howeversto be counterfeits
Some old miners teflItka about 1858 there
was lively camp neartile spot where the
bogus coin was found. Two young men
lived near the camp, and they always were
well supplied with money, which they
spent freely. They had the very best OF ev-
erything going. q !!
Asthose young felloNswcre never known
to do any work and aSthey never gambled
any and consequently could not have won
the money they spent so freely, it soon be-
gan to be whispered about that they were
counterfeit money makers. From this cir
cumstance the place became known as
Counterfeit Bar" The suspicion against
the young men became SO general that they
were alarmed and disappeared from tho
camp, and all traces of them were lost, and
they were forgotten until the incident mar
rated above brought them to mind again.

During the cruise of Vancouver's expe-
dition to the Pacific and northwest coast
OF America--l7915-the members were
entertained at dinner at Valparaiso by the
viceroy of Chilli. In the course of the des-
sert some nuts were served which, SO
the host told Archibald Menzies, the sur
geon of the expedition. were the seeds of
the Chilli pine.
The doctor, being a wise man, put few
of these seeds in his pocket, and on his re
turn to England had them planted in the
Botanical gardens at Kew. From them
grew the first araucaria ever seen in Eu-
rope. 1t became the lion of the gardens
and was prime favorite with William
w, who never failed to point it out to
visitors when he happened to be at Kew.
The kings interest in it first arose per
haps from the fact that Menzies had been
shipmate of his. This historical tree died
early in 1898, and its kind, which stand
the British climate fairly well. are known
to every body by the name of Monkey Puz-

The Physician In the Kitchen.

In sooth, the physician is expected to
know all of some things and some of all
things. The physician knows it is not suf-
fcent to give the very yaguest instructions
as to what a patient may or may not eat
and trust to the ordinary kitchen mechanic
to produce the desired results. He must. if
necessary, be able to give for the prepare
ton of food directions as specific as he gives
the pharmacist for the preparation of medi-
cine -
This does not necessarily mean that every
physician must qualify as chef 1t will
be sufficient for practical purposes if every
physician will study the food stuffs in com
mon use in the locality in which his work
lies and learn SO that he can teach the
modes of preparation by which the nutri-
tive values Of the various food stuffs may
be developed.
The physician in the kitchen is no longer
a jole.-Medical and Surgical Reporter.

written by that poet. "No," responded
Jerrold, "but l should like to see it. u

A No Name Family.

There is rich retired merchant living
in one of the many beautiful suburbs that
surround cultured Boston who has reared
and educated quite a large family of boys
and girls without even naming them or al
lowing any one else to do so. He says a
person has a perfect right to choose his or
her own name, and he has vigorously in
sisted upon this idea being carried out to
the letter. All of his children have borne
pet names until old enough to select one
for themselves. Quite odd, is it not? A
bit confusing, too, but new idea, and
everything new is welcome.-New York

Mr.. Capsn whose advertisement appears

about two-thirds Of the year to his old pro-
fession of architect and engineer. The
thoroughness and painstaking with which
he executes all commissions are attested BY
the buildings which he has designed. The
Bennett block on State street and the Hill
& Macomber block on Water street, are OF
striking and original design and among the
most pleasing in the city. The residence
of A. S. Bangs, Esq, is regarded BY many
as the most beautiful 10 the city. though
there are many more costly. The interior
of the Augusta Saving, Bank Is praised BY
all who see it and is ranked among the hfst
in the county. Mr.. Capen was joint aschi'

buildings, 10Th publ, and private, 10 Ca

AROUSED HIS SUSPICIOUS.


Why . German Barkecper and His Irish
Customer Are Strangers Now.
There is a certain German barkeeper up
town who is nursing vigorous wrath and
n particular knotty blackthorn, because of
an unknown person with an Irish accent
and IN engaging address.
Oie night the stranger stepped up to the
bar and asked for quart of gin in a black
hottie which he placed on the bar. The
barkeeper filled the bottle, and the man
walked toward the door,.
"Herer' yelled the barkeepcr. You give
me no moneys for dot chin!''
''Ah, mark it down ON the slate, will
yer?''
1--WE heff no slet; you give me back dot
Thin or give me my money"
Not cent, not cent; take back your
stuff if you won't hang it, up
So the man handed back the bottle to the
barkeepcr, who poured the contents of the
bottle into the cask.
A week later, almost at the same hour,
the door blew in again. Hey, Dutch, give
MS a quart O gin, will yer:" The unsus-
pecting barkeeper p, = d the liquor into
the bottle, handed it over the bar and, as
before, the man took the bottle and started
Off III .
Here, you, give me my moneys or my
chin. What you do, hey? Film flem me?
Give me dot chinr'
''AS, mark it down on the slate"
1--WE don't kip 10 slet-givem me dot chin.''
"Ol right. Take your dommed old gin
and be cussed wild yer.'
The bottle was handed back across the
bar and the man again disappeared into
the night. Again the liquor trickled down
into the cask.
Four more times, on as many nights, the
same incident was enacted. Then the bar
keeper became suspicious.
dot man buys him no chin he solilo-
quized, but alretty he comes him beck six
time. find out dings" A week later the
man appeared again, with:
Hey, Dutehy, fill this in a hurry, will
ycr?" . -.,i-
"Haf you got any moneys dis time, hey?"
Let US look at some of dot money, helm"
The man showed neat roll of bills, and
the barkeeper filled the bottle and handed
it across the bar. & .ia
Say, Dutchy, just mark that on the
slate, will yer:" "a re-
Here, you, yust give me beck der chin:
Vat you want, hey?" Once again the bottle
passed back into the barkeeper's possession,
and again the man went away. But this
time the bottle was hot emptied into the
cask. r.
Raising the bottle to his lips, the bar
keeper tasted its contents. Then he smashed
the bottle on the floor and the mir was thick
with his inveciives. A policeman, hearing
the noise, poked his head inside the door
and saw raving barkeeper, who was say
ing:
his TESS! Where he is?''
And then it was all explained. The man
with the Irish accent and the engaging per-
sonality had come each time with two bot
ties. One was empty, the other full Of
water. When he turned to the side door, he
dexterously changed the bottle of gin for
the bottle of water and gave the latter to
the barkeeper instead six times he prac-
ticed the deception successfully, but if he
ever returns there may be Il case for the dis
trct court to pass on.-1New York World.
