BANK OF ENGLAND FoRGERiES.
They Arc Almost Unknown Now. But
Were Formerly Frequent.

Were Formerly Frequent.
There are very few forgeries now,
but one hundred years ago they were
rife. The first recorded instance of
the forgery of Bank of England note
has singular touch of romance about
it, says the Strand Magazine. The
forger was n linen draper at Stafford,
named Vaughan, who, in the year 1853,
employed several worlkmen to engravc
different parts of 4 twenty pound ster-
ling note, and when a dozen had been
printed off he deposited them with a
young lady to whom he was engaged
to be married as proof of his wealth;
but the imposition was discovered, and
Vaughan was hanged.
One of the clevercst limitations Of a
bank note was the work of q poor
schoolnastcr, who forged an entire
note with pen and ink, and, sad to say,
was hanged. John Mathieson, who
was convicted for forging the water
mark, offered to show the directors
how IL was done IL he were pardoued,
but they would not withdraw the pros
ecution. Singularly enough, forgeries
first began to be frequent soon after
the introduction of the one pound
sterling note, and in April, 1902, Mr..
Addington told the house Of commons
that tho forgeries had increased SO
alarmingly that seventy extra clerks
were required at the bank merely to
detect thea.

BELIEVES IN MAGIC.
Tho Indian Has Some Curious Notisas
About Plants and Animals.

Tho Indian Has Some Curious Notisas
About Plants and Animals.
Very reluctantly do civilized Indians
give up their ideas of magic. The idea
of worshiping growing objects is quite
. settled one among the tribes, and
some of the stories which connect corn
and flowers with benedcent deities arc
very pleasing and attractive. Animals,
too, says the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
are spoken of in a very singular and
superstitious manner, and the different
sizes Of beasts which are hunted is ac-
counted for in story Of the creation
which is even more realistic and prac-
tical than the one told in the first chap
ter Of Genesis. This story, which is
frequently repeated with variations, is
that at the time of the creation all the
beasts of the field and forests clamored
for priority in size. Each was vain
glorious and dictatorial, and one after
another was being humbled by being
made smaller than hated enemy. the
idea being that everything human and
otherwise that was born had prior
existence and came into the world with
the benefit of experience thus derived.
The doctrine Of the RECONSIDERATION Of
souls is so general among Indians Of
various tribes that there was nothing
at all peculiar about this, and 1t is very
probable that some of the early writer's
on this subject got their ideas from ex-
ceptionally intelligent opponents of In
dian Buddhism, or something very SINH

THE FIRST DRUMMER.
English Quakers soem to Have Besn the
Progonitors OF the Raco.


Progcnitors OF tho Racc.
The rapid Developments of the COM
!mercial traveller system specifically be-
longs to our own days, but as to the
origin there is some difference of opin-
ion. One authority lays it down that
the bagman of to-day-the drummer"
in American phraseology--is the Inn
mediate descendant of the old chap
man, or peddler, OF hawker., As these
personages were known even in the
time of Chaucer in this case the mod
era commercial can boast very re-
spectacle ancestry.
Another antiquarian, however, In the
Bookseller has another theory to pro-
pose. For this he brings the poet
,Southcy as witness. 1t is that the
commercial travellers of to-day really
date back to the Qiakers of one hun
dred or one hundred and fifty years
since. These persons, it is well known,
were forced to wander throughout the
country by persecution and i'll treat
ment. They were then, as they are to-
day, mostly good, honest men of bust
ness, and with the true commercial in
stinct they seem to have made q virtue
of necessity, and during their wander
ings to have made acquaintance as fur
as possible with the country trades
men. to whom they often sold goods,
watches, ''camblets," and other ar
ticlcs. They seemed to have pushed
their trade SO vigorously that they OBJ
tanned heavy orders, so much so that
"the tradesmen in London stood idle"
as one of the Quakers said, "while we
filed our Golfers"
One Thomas Greene, Quaker
preacher and only laboring man, died
worth some thousands of pounds made
In this fashion. The speculation is both
curious and interesting, however the
matter may be decided.

HOW THEY TOLD THEM APART.


Soft Boiled Eggs on tho Square and Hard
Boiled on the Oval.
I'm country hotel where I had
stopped for supper" said traveller, II
saw on the table some boiled eggs. As
reached for them the wnitress said:
"'Do you like them hard or soft
boilcd%
Soft said.
THE soft boiled are In the other
dish, said tho waitress.
''Then, as looked the other way on
the table, saw another dish of eggs
But they looked precisely like those in
the first dish, and wondered how
anybody could tell them apart il they
should ever get mixed up. AS long as
they were kept ct the ends of the table
where they were first placed it would
be very simple, but suppose some POI
lite guest should say to his neighbour:
will you have the eggs?
''And suppose the man should shy
Yes, thank you, and take them, and
suppose one dish should in this way
alongside the other; or, Tor that mat
ter, suppose the dishes should change
places, as they might easily do, who
could tell which was hard and which
was soft? found myselfrather amused
by this idea, and asked the waitress
how they could tell which was which.
why, tho soft boiled are in the
square dish and the hard boiled are in
the oval dish

spell, for IL seemed clear to me that
was in some things not an intellectual

preams sad sound sleep.

When student asked the great Prof.
Marine il dreams were "a sign Of any,
thing" he replied: "Yes, q sign that
the dreamer was only about half
asleep, when some vague ideas fitted
through his BRAIN" An opinion ex-
actly contrary to the above was once
expressed by DIR. Tanner, tho faster.
When asked II he had not dreamed Of
feasts during his long fast he replied:
''The fact is, did not dream at all,
simply because I had no sound sleep
during the ordeal. was sorry for
chat, because 1 had hoped to make q
psychological study Of myself. :.
My sleep was so disturbed and broken
by those constantly around me that
had no opportunity for dreams. Whose
theory respecting the dream condition
Is correct, Marne's or Tanners?

rhs Microscope Employed In This Deli
cato Operation.

10 certainly Is an odd statement to
say that the microscope Is better than
the ear for measuring some sounds; but
1t is true. In determining tho pitch OF
very high notes Mr.. +. Melde has
found that the car cannot be depended
on, and he has therefore turned to the
microscope for aid.
Sound is q phenomenon of vibration,
and the pitch Of any musical note can
DO determined II the sound wave cor
responding to 1t is in any manner rem
dered measurable.
Mr.. Melde has solved the problem in
this way; He covers plate with thin
layer composed Of mixture of olive
oil and stearine, the surface Of which
Is slightly ridged by rubbing It deli
cately with the finger. To high
pitched tuning fork short hair Is at
tached, and q similar hair Is fastened
to another vibrating body, such as q
rod, whose pitch is known. The ends
Of these hairs trail across the prepared
plate, as it Is passed rapidly over them,
and thus mark upon It's surface .
double series Of wave lines corre-
spending to tho periods of vibration Of
the fork and the rod. The microscope
Il then called into action In order to
compare the length and depth of the
waves, and thus determine the musical
pitch Of the vibrating fork, with an 40
ouracy not attainable by the ear alone.
