innocent connrerfnitine.

decision recently rendered by the
solicitor of the treasury department at
Washington promises 10 put stop TO
the innocent couuterfeiting of the
stamps Of this and other countries. For
many years dealers In stamps have pub.
lished in trade papers and magazines,
as well as in stamp albums, fac-similes
Of stamps. They were used 10 attract
attention to an advertisement. or to
designate the spot in an album where a
particular stamp was to be affixed in
making n collection. Three years ago
congress passed sweeping law prohib-
iting the imitation of money or stamps,
SO broad was the scope Of this law that
II would prevent even the reproduction
OF the design of piece Of coin or pa
per money or Of a stamp in a picture
published in newspaper or periodical.
The intent OF the law. says Harper's
Weekly, was to make IL impossible for
dishonest persons to take advantage of
the acts OF honest ones To defraud 9th
ers For example, the tokens used in
commercial colleges to represent money
in carrying on the fictitious business
transactions which were supposed to
fit pupils for a commercial career
were used by the dishonest to
impose on crednlous or ignorant
people, and they passed current
in some places like counterfcits of
money intended to dcfrand. Counters
used in games or designed for use as
checks inrestaurants and liquor saloons
were used frautlnlcntly rs money.
Even the Acknowledgement issued bya daily
newspaperof New York. in the form of
a bond promising TO pay thousand
dollars to anyone who proved the cir
scnlation OF the paper les; than It was
claimed to be. was passed ON ignorant
immigrants as currency. The counter
feiting of stamps, of course, could not
infiict so great an injury as the counter
feiting OF money. Yet in the case of
rare stamps which are in demand for
philatelic collections. great injury
could be done to individuals. And
petty fraud, when committed in the
name of the United States, is just as
sabhorrent to the government as fraud
which involves millions. Hence the
law enacted by congress, under which
the publication Of fnc-similes of cur
rency and stamps has been prohibited.
The seizures made almost every week
in different parts Of the country attest
the need of such a law even now, when
people who hive violated it innocently
ever since its passage are becoming nc
customed toits provisions

If the price of meat continues at the
present elevated notch many people in
this country will per force become veg
etarians. An eastern exchange says
that porterhouse steaks sold in New
York few days ago at the stalls of
the retail butchers at from thirty 10
thirty-fve cents u pound. Sirloin steaks
were sold at from twenty-five to
twenty-five cents u pound. and fine sir
loin roasts brought from twenty-five to
thirty cents pound. Round steak was
sold Mt from fifteen to twenty cents IL
pound. The prices for beef in New
York are now higher than for quarter
of u century, and the present outlook is
for still further advance in the prices.

nrunkard's Dream.

The following Poe-tical lines will
drive away all thoughts of souls Of
mingled rye and corn.
Last night
Darkness came o'er the city
While sitting at my window pane,
] was viewing DER my country,
And listening 20 the falling rain,
saw the lightning flashes,
The storm was raging wild;
When a sudden thunder seized me-
/ dreamed ] was again child
Presently there came a sound,
Volumes of hames seemed 10 burn
my soul;
I -prang to my feet with single
bound,
An, the signt there ] did behold;
Thrilled me, filled me, terrors and pain.
CHASTITY faces were peering in at me,
Through my window pane
"Wretches," ] cried hsth thy God
sent thee,
or has he called my name,
"Wretches, tell me, tell me, truly
Must ! die in drunkards shame
Faltering them no louger-
My soul then grew stronger
! sprang 10 my window pane.
There I discovered only
Bursted drops of rain.

A Great Invention,

The old method, in vogue in barber
shops, of going over the face with a n.y.

before lathering was slow and uncertain.
1t involved two distinct OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

often neutralized the effects of the former
So much time elapsed before the barber
could begin shaving that the effect of the

Der of this city, has arisen as q benefactor
of mankind to solve the difficulty. He
has invented a lathering brush, each bris-
tie of which is a hypodermic syringe. This
wonderful instrument applies lather and
~injects cocaine with one and the same
motion. Thus the customer is quickly and
painlessly shaved. The Guggenheimer
medicated lather brush should be in every

A benevolent woman living at Glen
dale, n. j., devotes much of her time to
entertaining children who live in the low
err wards of New York and who of course
have crude ideas of country life. During
Christmas week this woman invited a
dozen Of the little u1chins to her house
and was rewarded for her trouble by the
thorough way in which the children en-
joyed themselves. In the party was one
little girl scarcely 5 years old. She came
from a crowded tenement house on the
east side and took the most intense inter
est in everything she saw. After a care
full inspection of everything ON the parlor
floor of her hostess house she asked in a
curious tone, who lives down s~tairs?"
"We do" was the reply.
"Who lives up ~stairs?''
I'VE do"
"Well, who lives above that"
why, we do, of course, " said the host
ess, with much interest. what makes
you ask?"
why, don't no Italians live in this
house," asked the little tot in open eyed
wonder New York Tribune.
