Where Counterfeitine Fails

Fs& <r
There are several interesting declara-
tons in the annual report Of William
p. Hazen, Chief Of the United States
Secret Service. He says that it has be-
come IN easy matter, owing to the de-
velopment Of photolitography. to make
a faithful imitation Of the designs of
our paper money. The counterfeiter,
however, has never been able, to dis
cover how the money used in the manu-
facture Of our money is made. 1t has
been a we~ll-guarded secret. The al.
teration Of notes is acrime which is in
creasing, and more arrests We're made
for this offense last year than in any
previous year. Counterfeiting coin is
also on the increase, but none Of the
counterfeits OF silver are very decep-
tive Oh dangerous. Strange to say,
there is no Jaw furnishing the passing
of mutilated, lightened or debased
coins, and the chief therefore recon-
mends such an Observation-Disclosures.

To the Skilled Eye a Woman IL Re.
vealed by Her Ring Tray.
Almost everything a woman does or
says or wears is magnifed by some n
into an indication of character. She
wears a certain style of shoe or wears
it in a certain way, and some n dis
covers that she is vain and a spend
thrift. She wears her glove out in
the thumb and some one else discovers
that she is cruel or something else.
She has a fondness for laces and is
dubbed @old-fashioned; she INDUCES in
studs and is called masculine. The poor
thing can wear nothing without having
some one consider her doing so por-
tentOus. Her rings are no exception to
the rule. The professional finder Of
character in trifies can give almost q

reader. Is she fond of the ordinary,
fashionable stones in the ordinary, fash

A woman who, with money enough to
buy a marquise ring of sapphires and
diamonds, has not enough originality
to buy something else, is distinctly COM
monplace according to the interpreter
of rings.

she begins to show CLEANS Of original

her stones sunk into quaint silver set
tings or old-fashioned chased gold
ones? There is hope for her in an
artistic sense. Does she wear cpals?
She Is veDturesome. Who but a daring

Doe she wear a great many? She Is

she pleases.

Moreover, the graveyard was more
convenient to Bully's Acre than those

spoken of as the resting place OF EN-

favoring each spot is quite voluminous,

'In 1881" said DR.. Emmett, II visited
Dublin and had photographs taken of

of Robert Emmett. I met DR.. Madden,
the historian, whom I had known many
years before, when he was a commits

he said: There is the grave Of Robert
Emmett I was DESTROYS to have the
grave opened, but the rector of the
church was so discourteous that I was
compelled to abandon my intention,
which might have settled forever all
doubt as to the resting place of Emmett.
The ground being of a dry character,
I feel convinced that some remains
would have been found enabling me
to determine if the head had been sew
cred therefrom.
Il learned from Dr. Madden and 9TH
er sources that Emmet's body was re-
moved by order of the authorities to
the gatehouse at Bully's Acre cemetery
to await interment in that public bur

it. In the evening DR.. Petrie came to
make a plaster cast Of the face, but
finding no water at hand, he took away
the head, which he retained for a long
time, but he finally gave the skull to a
friend in Galway, Of whom all trace has
been lost. I am convinced, however,
that it must have been intrusted to
careful hands, and in the proper time
the relic may serve in carrying out the
last wish of Emmett, provided the &c

The population Of France has in.

faster than this shows that the pro-

Inhabitants of France has moved to
the cities. This is the tendency in all
civilized countries. and the question
is where it will lstop.

The decline in immigration to the

in South America, Africa, and Aus

has been partially di. erted. In addi-

gentleman next to him slyly took the
cigar and cut off about three inches
Of the fire and began to smoke 1t, re-
placing the body Of the weed. When
the young man got through his story,
at which, all the rest laughed extrava-

and pulled at II. His face wore 4 puz-
zled look as he glanced at the end and
saw it had apparently never been light
ed. But he struck a match and light
ed 1t again. After a few pulls he laid
it down to answer the pleasantries,

drew his knife and neatly ctt the fire
end off and dropped it In the cuspi-

the story teller when he picked up that
cigar and agin essayed to smoke was
something too funny to describe. He
gave two or three vigorous pulls. at It..
then stopped and looked at the fresh
end, while the other fellows were In
terested in almost anything else ut the
moment. AS soon as the wonld-be
smoker saw that the cigar had not
been lighted he turned a little pale,
showed his unemptied glass aside, and
with a hasty apology and q story OF an
alleged forgotten engagement, bolted
for the street amid the demOniacal
glee of the cruel men left behind.

that q man was operating in the Twin

the United States statutes govern

man was alleged to be making q AN.

he thought the most unsophisticated

recipe to erect his family still"

believed that the copyright claimed to
cover the recipes, made the distilling
of whisky in this crude way lawful,
have been placed in danger of suffering
a great hardship. The law provides
that all liquor or whisky stills not reg
istered may be seized, and that all per-
sonal property in the building or within
the enclosure in which this still is kept
or operated may be confiscated and
that the person owning it and operat.
ing it may be fined $500 and sent to
prison for a term of not less than one
month and not more than two years.
These washing boiler stills are designed
for use in the kitchens of ordinary resi-
dences, and the presence of such an
arrangement in a PERSONS house would
make all his personal property in the
house liable to ~confiscation, and makes
the owner liable to punishment as de.
scribed.

suance of the directions given have been
