And shall long for touch Of finger tips,
Some loving hand to warmly clasp my
own.
Perhaps in my distress you'll not be near,
The SHOWS may lie above you. cold and

The voice love so much may not hear,
Unless in spirit whispers through the
night.
Death never comes for neaght. and shall
die
Come day It win be so--It comes to all.
And will you. list'nng. hear my fatnteat
cry,
Returning answer to my feeblsst call!
Another's hand may gently stroke my hair.
And close my eyes and watch while life
endures;
But. Oh! my soul shall wander everywhere,
With ceaseless, longing cry In search Of
yours!

Potatoes baked in their skins should
have a piece cut off the ends before
baking, in order that the steam may
escape. Prepared in this way they are
light and dry when eaten. When boiled.
they may be prepared in the same way.
and the skin removed just before serv-
ing to each individual. Potatoes are
unquestionably dryer and finer Of flavor
when boiled in this way, than when
pared before cooking. The utmost care
is necessary to prevent their being cold
when eaten, as they grow cold rapidly
after skins are removed; and Of all
things potatoes should be hot in what
ever form they are served, unless II be
I'M a cold salad. It is not regarded in
good form to place boiled potatoes upon

The making and pass;ng of smell
counterfeit coins is said to be an H.
dusty almost entirely confined to tie
Italians. Indeed, the racial aspect is
one OF the most interesting features OF
counterfeiting. While the Italian is
content with the small profits resulting
from Showing" spurious nicEels. dimes
and quarters, the American counter.
feiter devotcs his talents to producing
bank notes Of the larger denominations.
Sweating" gold is the favorte scheme
OF the patent, Industrious Russian,
who keeps his large family Of children
employed in this slow but sure method
OF dcfrauding the government. To the
ingenious Frenchman we are indebted
for the cunning glass dollar, which has
deceived even the most expert. The
Bowcry crook still depends on the con.
federate bill as means Of turning an
honest penny, and the police reports
would go to show that this old swindle
is not too threadbare to catch its victim.
The Italians have been always the
most persistent Showers OF the queer"
and, while the individual cmcunts have
been small, the profits in the aggre-
gate foot up large sums every year.
Probably the greater part Of this
spurious coin is passed by the push
cart men, whose calling gives them
great facilities for getting rid Of it with
little danger Of detection. The victims
are mostly persons hurrying home
ward to the ferries at dusk. who stop
to purchase fruit from the carts that
line the cutters Of certain streets dur
ing the rush hours.

The customer is In hurry and seldom

open hand he can see that the amount
is correct. but there is no tell-tale ring.

counter. In the dim light, which the
peddler's torch makes more uncertain,
there is little chance to detect the coun-
terfeit coin. Not until he has reached
the ferry does he find out that he has
been swindled and then it is too late.
