Counterfeit NickelA

A lot of counterfeit nickels made
their appearance Monday at the Unit
ed States sub-treasury at the custom
house. From the number received 1t
would indicate that these counterfeit
pieces are in general circulation in

made its appearance. The counterfeits
bear different dates, one mold being
1884 and the other 1898. The 1884
specimen is particularly good. the only
noticeable defect, and that only dis
cernible after close scrutiny. is the
figure 1 in the date. In color II is
shade lighter than the original Of
the same date. The nickel Of 1893 also
closely resembles the genuine. In
weight both niekels are a fraction
lighter than a genuine coin. and to
the touch they are somewhat oily

Fox-AUNTiNC PARSONS,

In the days when fox-huntinE par
sons were not uncommon in England
IA century or something less ago
one such clergyman boasted that he
hunted three days in the week and
shot the other three, and could walk
any man in the county on his legs OF
another sporting parson this story is
told:
He gave instructions TO the clerk
to give out ~ morning service mo-
tice that there would be no service In
the afternoon-giying his reasons, for
the private ear OF the clerk and not
for publication: but the clerk made
the announcement as follows:
be no saryice 10 this church this ar
ternoon, caus' maester is a-goin' over
the moors a stag-huntin' wi Sir
Thomas"
But stranger announcements even
than thar were sometimes made dur
ing divine service" says the author
of Kings of the Hunting Field" as
he introduces the following stories:
On certain Sunday. man posted
just outside the ehurchyard gate, with
six silver spoons stuck into the band
OF his hat, shouted at the top OF his
voice:
''PlaiZe 10 TAX notice. Thaise Elk
silver spunes TO be wrastled yor next
Thursday at Poughill, and all gentle
men wrastlers will receive fair play"
The man then entered the church.
went into the singing gallery and hung
up his hat with the six spoons where
IT was visible 10 the greater part OF
the congregation.
At another church. while the clergy
man was reading prayers. man
walked in, shouted, I've got 'unr'
and Immediately withdrew. Every
farmer and laborer who possessed a
gun soon followed him. and In an hour
or two brought to the village inn the
fox they had shot.
Spirituality was in those days at a
very low ebb, and some clergymen
cared more for sport than for the e1-
ample they set to their focks. Bish-
ops tried TO dlscountenance hunting
as clerical pastime, but the Law did
not enable them TO remove the offend
ers from their livings. Doctor PHIL
potts. Bishop of Exeter, who called to
account several sporting clergymen
in his diocese, met one OF them at a
friends's house.
II am told. my lord, that you object
to my hunting" said the clergyman.
Dear me, who could have told you
so?" answered the bishop. What |
object to is that you should ever do
anything else"
