woMANs EDUCATION IN EUROPE.
On the Higher Planes Her American
Sister Has Greater Privileges.

A correspondent of the London Times
writing from Berlin, says that no foreign
observer can fail to be struck with the
general diSnclination to promote the
cause of the higher education OF women.
The whole life of the movement depends
on the efforts of a handful of persons, and
little progress has been made since the
foundation OF the universal Association
for German Women" in 1868. Statistics
show that out of 209 public schools for
girls in Prussia only seventeen were
under the control of female principals in
1883, while of 494 private institutions 425
were in the hands of women. AS, how
ever, the public institutions threaten to
destroy the private schools, petitions
were addressed in 1887 to the PruSSiau
Minister Of Education and to the lower
house of the Prussian Diet requesting
State aid for the training and employ
ment of women teachers III larger num-
bers, but without success.
The leaders of the agitation then
founded the Universal School-mis-
tresses' Association" which now num-
bers nearly 5000 members, and set on
foot educational courses for women
teachers, the subjects taught correspond
ing roughly to the curriculum of the
"Kealschulen," in which modern lam
guages take the place of Latin, Greek,
ETC. No German university has yet
opened its doors to women. Petitions
after petitions have been addressed to the
Imperial Diet and to the diets Of the
various Federal States begging permis-
sion for women to attend the German
universities, and above all to be allowed
TO take up the study of medicine. But
as yet every attempt has failed to break
down the opposition. The empire
answers, "The Federal Government
must take the first STEP" and the Federal
diets, when approached on the subject
reply: I'VE can do nothing without the
| Imperial Diet" One reason tor this at
titude is the dread that the request for
education might be followed by de-
mand for suffrage, and another is the
fear that the woman's movement is but
another phase of socialism. There are
women doctors in Berlin and elsewhere,
but they are not recognized by the State
and have no official standing.

HARD TO COUNTERFEIT.
Bank of England Notes, With Their
Texture and Engraving.

Bank of England Notes, With Their
Texture and Engraving.
Sir Gerald Herbert Portal, whose death
has just been announced, came of a
Huguenot family that settled 10 Hamp-
shire rather more than two centuries ago.
The family has had for several genera
tions the monopoly of manufacturing the
paper used for producing the notes of the
Bank of England and a memb ber of the
family was the inventor of the water
mark, explains the New York Sun. The
mills of the Portals have long been stu
ated at LaverStoke, in Hampshire, and
there the Bank of England paper is made.
The Portals under the spur of the
bank, have steadily improved the quality
of the paper made for the bank notes. 1t
is handmade paper, the product of work
men long trained to the business, and
many of them inheritors of the trade from
their fathers. The paper is made from
pure and clean linen, and so made that
each note shall have three rough or un-
cut edges. The Bank of England has
long persisted in relying for its sole de-
tense against counterfeiting upon the
character OF the paper and the quality of
the engraving. In color. texture and
weight the bank-note paper differs from
any other made, and the fact that the
handmade paper makers OF Great Brit
ain all belong to The closest and perhaps
the strongest of trades unions makes 1t
exceedingly difficult to find workmen
among the criminal classes to produce
paper approaching the quality of that
used in these notes.
More than forty years ago, when the
French Government was turning over
many curious devices for securing a
bank-note paper that should defy the
counterfelters, the Bank of England
notes were simply models of the en-
graver's art, as it was then practiced, eX-
ecuted upon paper of the finest quality.
The Portal of that day exhibited before q
scientific assembly in London an un-
thirty-six pounds. He said that when a
single grain of sizing had been distrib-
uted through the paperit would sustain a
weight of at least fifty pounds. A publi-
cation of that day declared that the paper
fully sized would sustain a weight of
fifty-six pounds. Before the paper and
the engraving had reached the degree of
excellence to which they had then at
tanned counterfeiting was frequent, in
spite of its being a capital offense.
The Portals are the only persons that
have ever made bank-note paper for the
Bank OF England, and the bank is con-
stantly represented at the mills by sworn
officials. whose duty it is to superintend
the processes of manufacture and 10 see
that none OF the paper shall get into the
hands OF strangers. On August 10, 1852,
q quantity of the paper was stolen from
the mills, bgt the thieves We're arrested
and convictxd. The arrest and conyic-
The record-union., 1894-03-08

ton, however, did not occur until the
thieves had caused to be issued number
OF forged notes printed upon this paper.
George Buncher, William Burnett,
Richard Brewer and James Griffiths were
convicted of the forgeries in January,
1855. The famous Bidwell forgeries Of
1913 were not Of bank notes, but of notes
for discount.
1t is now declared that anv expert can
almost instantly detect forgery OF
Bank of England note by the feel of the
paper. Should that test fail the water
mark is another of great value, and the
engraving of the figure of Britannia is
such us almost to defy successful counter
feiting.

Kicked. tho Wrong Man.

Poughkeepsle News-Press: A young
Poughkeepsian a few days since
picked up u friend on Market street and
took home to lunch without notice to the
formers wife. She called him to one side
and explained that there were only q dnz-
en- raw oysters, and when their friend had
eaten his quota of four he must not be
asked to take more. All this tho hns-
band promised to remember. When their
guest had eaten his four oysters tho host
asked him to take some more. The wife
looked distressed and the guest declined,
the husband insisted that his. friend
should have more. The wife looked as if
she were in agony, and the guest firmly
refused to allow the rest of tho oysters to
allow the rest of the oysters to be brought
from the kitchen. Later the wife said to
the husband: "How could you urge him
to have more oysters whom explained to
you that there weren't any more" I am
very sorry" said the penitent husband,
"but forgot all about it," What do you
suppose was kicking you under the
table for :" retorted the wife. "But you
didn't kick me-" said the husband.

During the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners last week. after
the resignation Of Mr.. Copeland as Sta tes
attorney was tendsred and accepted, q
general discussion was participated in by
the members of the Board, on the advise
ability of the appointment of successor.
The concenses of opinion arrived at was,
that the needs of the county for legal as
sistence did not'warrant the outlay-an-
that tbs ofi,e had been nominally fig-
ure-head affair. In case tho county has
the needs of legal services II was much
better and cheaper for the county to en-
ploy outside talent, with fair prospect
Of getting the services Of one who knew
something about the intrieaoy of law.
On the other hand the need of a resident
physician for this county has been cry
ing want for some time. Sickness will
occur, and accidents will happen, and
when they do, it either necsssitates ths
patients removal to Bismarck or very
expensive trip for q Bismarck physician.
Therefore, the members OF the County
Beard will encourage and assist q good
reputable doctor to take up his residence
amongst us.

A short time before tho war, stranger,
giving his name as Frev, asked assistance
and lodging at the house of farmer,
John Gratwold, who lived near Middle
town, Ohio. Frey said he had been ex1led
from Germany for some political offense,
and claimed to have been student in that
country. He was taken into the family of
Gratwold. where he engaged as a tarm-
hand and staid two years. In 1861 he en.
listed in an Illinois regiment, had quite q
brilliant military career, and was promo
ted to the rank of Major. He was taken
to Libby prison, and was paroled in 1865.
His health was broken, and he went back
to his native country, where he recovered,
and in 1852 he was sent to America as
Switzerland's representative. Later he
became highly successful in politics,
holding the position of Secretary of War,
and other Offices in Switzerland. The

Bismarck Tribune: The death of
Matthew j. Edgerley adds another to the
list of prominent citizens and old timers,
long and intimately associated with city
affairs, who have within the past few
months crossed the dark river. Slowly
but surely the death roll of those who
came here in the long ago, those who on
dured the hardships of the city's first
growth, those who aided in its building,
and those who, while they came later, yet
we're here early enough to be associated
with the difficulties of organization, in in
creasing. The number of tho remaining
old timers is gradually decreasing, and
each death sadly and forcibly impresses
the fact. The rapid passage of time is in
no wise better exsmpled. Those whose
lives were in the prime at the founding of
the city, those who were young and strong
and active and in the full flush of health
and strength, have lived through q nfth
of century since then, and are begin
ming to feel the weight of years. Their
steps lack just little of the elasticity,
their muscles little of the activity which
characterized them in former years.-
Those who were the builders and organi-
zers, have watched the growth of the city,
have aided in all work which was neces-
sary TO be done, and are now ready to rest
from their duties, and lot the later ones
assume the more difficult tasks. They
have earned whatever Of rest they now
enjoy, and the newer ones will unite in
saying "God bless the old timets every
one" 49, :.
