DIR. TALMAGE'S ADVENT.

Has a Stimulating Effect Upon Pew
holders at First PresbyterianChurch
The coming of Rev. DR.. Talmage to the
First Presbyterian Church, on Four-and a
half street. has had a stimulating effect on
pew holders and others of the congregation.
For the last few days Mr.. E. n TolGaan.
a member of the board of trustees, has been
kept quite busy receiving and filing ap-
pIications for pews and sittings for the conf
ing fiscal year. AT present no contracts are
made with the applicants, nor will be until
after the installation of DR.. Talrnage on the
23d inst.
The seating capacity of the auditorium
accommodates about 625, comfortably, and
from the applications already received it is
evident that nearly every desirable seat
in the church is being eagerly sought. or
course there are applications from Others
than members of the congregation, but they
are not many.
The most desirable seats are about the
middle of the central division of pews and
these are nearly all secured by applications.
In this division about a dozen rows from the
chancel rail on the right of the left aisle is
President Cleveland's pew, No. 1 80. Next
behind this but one is pew No. 1913, which
has been assigned to DR.. Talmage. In this
same division on the right and few rows In
front is No. 20, the pew OF Rev. DR.. sunder-
land, the pastor.
The board Of trustees has issued a circular
containing the rules regulating the rental
OF pews and sittings.

CONTEMPLATING IN ENGLAND,
Losses Through This Means During a Long
Term Of Years.

Losses Through This Means During a Long
Term Of Years.
The known losses of the bank through
counterfeiting mount up, in the zoe
years of its history, among the millions.
The first forgery of this kind appeared
N 1853. A young non named Richard
William Vaughan, to show his LADY,
love how easily he could make n
forged twenty notes, and gave them to
her, She thriftily taking them to the
bank. y \
In 1884, says McClure's Magazine, Old
Patch, the son of an old clothes dealer.
and the ex-partner of Foote the m
dian in a brewery, took a2Oo, 900 from
the bank by forgeries, making his
w ink, paper and press, and he hung
himself when arrested. Astlett, in
1903, embezzled exchequer bills to the
value Of eS42, 900. Fauntleroy, a
banker, in 1924, obtained $500, 900 by
forging powers of attorney for sale of
consuls, and was hung at Newgate. In
the general jubilee throughout the citv
over the proclamation of peace with
the American republic, in 1888, fourteen
forged e50notes were cashed unnoticed.
and for years in the early party of this
century, the banks annual loss bv
counterfeits was a figure of many thou
sands OF pounds. Forgeries to-day are
rare. The machinery of detection is
perfect, and the system of numbering,
as well as the perpetual use bv all
banks OF freshly printed Bank Of Eng
land notes, presents insurmountable
obstacles to "smashers."

How . Scotch Soldier Come 1t Over an
Inspecting Officer.
There is an amusing story related re-
garding a Scotch regiment, in the last
century, to whom a O n grant was
paid for "rations'' IN lieu of an issue of
provisions, with the result that the SOL
diers spent most of this allowance in
mountain dew instead of providing
themselves with proper meals. The
commanding officer, says the London
Standard, resolved to check this per-
nicious practice, took to making unex-
pected visits of inspection to the cook
ing quarters at the mems meal times.
and, to his wrath, discovered that the
kettle which was duly simmering over
the first fire which he visited contained
nothing but hot water, instead of the
regulation piece of beef. But the old
sergeant OF the next company was a
man OF Hastily Selling a
pair OF chanois-leather breeches which
were lying before the fire, he popped
them into his OWN cooking-pot, which
was, like that of his neighbors, hither-
tn innocent of aught save water, and to
=, inquiry: "What have YOU got in
t.. kettle?" triumphantly responded:
"Ssice bit Of beef, SIR" lifting up a por-
ti.~ OF the garments with his spoon.
The officer glanced at the supposed
meat, and passed on with words of
Communications; ''but the beef was
nothing but the majors own old
b~reeches," rs the cunning old soldier
was wont to remark afterwards in a
tone of calm satisfaction.

EASTERN HAIR CUTTING.
The Experience Constitutes an Event In
the Lives of Many People.

1ne experience constitutes an Event In
the Lives of Many People.
In some eastern countries children's
hair is not cut until they are ten or
twelve years of age, the girls then be-
ing considered manageable. Up to
that time it is coiled on top Of the head
and adorned with fresh flowers. When
the great day for cutting comes there
is a grand ceremony and much feasting.
One who was present at a royal hair
cutting, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
tells us that the darling of the harem
was robed in long, flowing garments of
silk and lace, confined at the waist by
a golden girdle. Her long hair, coiled
for the last time, was fastened with
diamond pins, which CLEANED and gilt
tered among fresh white flowers and
green leaves like pearly drops of morn
ing dew. There, in the presence Of the
ladies, her father and an officiating
priest, surrounded by her hand maid
ems some two hundred in number, she
knelt while prayers were chanted.
Then, the beautiful tresses being I'M
bound, her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rosewater and drawing them
carelessly over her head, clipped about
an eighth Of an inch of hair and threw
it into a golden basin, depositing at the
same time on a great salver placed
ready to receive them presents of jewels
and gold.
The priest cut the next piece, her
mother the next, and SO on, each guest
serving in turn until the little lady was
shorn. ALI gave costly gifts intended
for her marriage dover, princes, minis
ters of state and dig~nitaries of all sorts,
who waited in the outer courts, send
ing in their contributions by the attend
ants. The day ended in feasting and a
display of fireworks.

"a handling OF Dirty Money Not at All
Dangerous.
There is no place in the world where
more dirty money is handled from day
to day than in the national bank re-
demption division of the treasury de-
partment. There are in existence some
thirty-fve hundred national banks, each
of which has outstanding bank notes
ranging in amount from two or twelve
thousand dollars up to nearly half a
million. Every dollar of these notes
passes tSSbugh the hands of the men
and wofAsMgh employed in the national
bank reesItAption division. This Office
has beea III existence now for about
thirty years. There are employed in
the division somewhere about twenty
five girls and ONE They handle
'suntold millions" of bills in the course
of a year, and if there was any danger
from contagious and infectious diseases
in old b%anlnotes it would seem as
though this would be the place to find
symptoms.
Yet MI. Rogers, who has been chief
of the division for ten years, and who
has been connected with it since it was
organized, assured a Washington Post
Express correspondent the other day
that there has never been a cas- of in
fictitious or contagious disease on
tracted by one of the employees of his
office. Every one of them handles the
bills sent in for redemption. They are
counted and sorted time after time.
