Showing the oueer.

The game of counterfciting in this
country is played by people of all na-
tionalities, and. although some women
and children are used as tools, men
take the principal parts. After having
made the coin the great problem is how
to convert 1t into good money. The
maker rarely takes part in that opera
ton. 1t is the business of gangs, which
consist usually of two persons, known
us the holder" and the Shower"
The holder carries q stock of the
counterfeit money, and the shower has
one piece. This he takes to n store or a
saloon and buys something for small
amount, and when he comes into the
street the holder secs him from his no
sition block away, Joins him, receives
the good money and hands him another
counterfeit.
The object is to work so that the
shower, If detected, may plead inno-
cence and prove that the piece is the
only one that he has and that he has no
other money. Some clover operators
go SO far rs to mix good coin with the

Queer Turkish Fish.

April ID is the great fctc day of "Ba-
lukli," or place of fishes. This is
small church situated outside the walls
of Constantinople, and it enjoyed no
particular reputation before the con-
quest of Constantinople by the Turks.
AT the time Of the invasion, however, n
monk was cooking some fish there
when messenger came and told him
that the Turks had entered CONSTANT
noplc. The monk did not believe the
story and said he would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would jump
back into the water. AS he spoke the
fish jumped back into the water, and
since then the place has had great
reputation for Its healing powers.
A church has been built over the
spring dedicated to "Our Lady of the
Fishes," and on this day regular pill
grimage takes place from all parts Of
the town. Many sick are carried thith-
or. and many miraculous cures are re-
ported. The truth of tho story is proved
by the presence in a large marble lined
tank in the church of the lineal de-
scendants of the half cooked fish. Any
one who does not believe has only to
look III the water, and he will see them,
brown OH one side and white on the
other, swimming about Mt their ease.

Posing as a Model.

A curious feature of n models Occu.
patton is her posing for an artist who
is painting some one else. Wealthy
people are capricious and often do not
care to give long sittings. Therefore,
after tho artist has caught the express
sion of the face, he will call in model
to pose for the figure. Some models
do not care to do this. as part of their
enjoyment OF their occupation consists
In seeing themselves reproduced on
canvas, but there are others who are
quite willing to help fill out.
Various models have various points
of excellence, and often painter will
employ ut different stages in the prog
ress of his work from three to four
models for one figure on his canvas.
One model is known for Der coloring,
another for her hands, another for her
hair. An artist generally notes in his
address book the characteristics Of a
model after her name. These quota
tions are taken ut random from an
artists address book: "Fine young
Jewcss," English, tall and slim, blond,
costumc;" Good back" Good figure,
shcrt legs, ivory tonc."-Cosmopolitan.

High Mountnin. of The Moon.

The LcibnitZ range attanS enormous
attitudes above the average level of the
moons; surface and is sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular cllrva-
ture of disk, thus destroying the circu-
lar contour and giving it notchcd or
scrratcd aspect. Several of the peaks
OF these southern mountains measure
10000 feet in altitude. while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height of 10000 feet All the chief
mountains of the moon which can be
seen from the earth with telescope
have had their heights ascrrtaincd. The
German observers, Beer and Maedlcr,
have calculated the height OF no fewer
than 1,O95 lunar mountains. The Do
ricl mountains supply an instance of
great elevation. the peaks of the three
leading ones being between $4,000 and
10000 feet high. Among other lunar
peaks may be mentioned Huyghens,
21,000 feet; Hadlcy. $4,000 feet: Brad
ley, $4,000 feet. and Wolf. 1900 feet.

for large manufacturing company.
One of their customers, always an un-
satisfactory man to deal with on nc-

GUS absurd prcteNts, finally refused
point blank to settle bill for some

threatening him With all possible pains
and penalties, legal and otherwise, with
good measure of abuse thrown in, since
they had little hope that he would pay
and less desire for his custom in the
future. Accordingly l bent myself to
the task. l hope I'm an honest man,
but can't help saying that that letter
was a stinger. l suspect that it was
the meanest thing that ever went into

A few days later o messenger from
the manufacturing firm called and ask

Mr.. Blank arose, shutting off the

Practically" says an undertaken
quoted by the Philadelphia Record.
"every corpse nowadays is embalmcd.
Perhaps not one body in a hundred is
buried without having the fluid inject
ed, and that settles 1t. You won't read
your obituary notices then. People
are coming to realize this more and
more. and the old dread of being buried
alive is fast dying out. But these
nervous individuals have got to have
some sort of post norton bugaboo to
worry them. If it isn't one thing, it's
another, and as soon as you convince
them that they are not going to be
buried alive they get grave robbers on
the brain. That's why we are now
making speciality Of burglar proof
caskets. Fact, assure you."

The I,cading cure.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians us benefit to persons af-
fectcd with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because III all
cases of lung trouble it is important
for the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filled by
and emptied Of air, for the exercise is
strengthening to the throat, lungs and
muscles Of the chest.
Reading aloud can be practiced by
all and besides being q curative act
can be pleasure and profit to both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
1t is recommended that an overdose Of
medicine be avoided, that the reading
be deliberate, without being allowed
to drag. that the enunciation be clear,
the body be held in an easy, unstrain-
ed upright position, SO that the chest
will have free play. and that the
breathing be natural and as. deep us
possible without undue effort.

Pot wnl1oner.

The parliamentary register for 1896
showed that there was then only one
pot walloper in all England. One see
ing the term for the first time might
easily imagine that Il pot wallopcr was
a species Of ichthyosaurus or some 9TH
cr reptile of past age. 1t will be dis
covered upon inquiry, however, that
the term pot walloper" is literally one
who boils u pot and was applied to vot-
ers In certain boroughs OF England
where. before the passage of the re-
form bill of 1892, the qualifications for
suffrage was to have boiled (walloped)
his own pot in the parish for six
months.

YOUR WATCH.

In laying aside watch be sure that
1t rests upon its case.
A watch should be wound up every
day at the same hour.
Avoid putting 1t on marble slab OF
near anything excessively cold.
If suspended, the action of the bal.
nncc may cause oscillation, which will
interfere with its going.
A sudden change of temperature, con-
tracting the metal. may sometimes
cause the handspring to break.
The cold also coagulates the oil, and
the pivots and wheels work less freely.
and affect the regularity of the time
keeping.
To keep your watch clean take care,
that the case fits closely and see that
the watch pocket is kept free from
fluff, which is SO often given of by
Innings.
Avoid sudden Jars and falls, for even
II 1t does not seem to affect it ut the
moment, a watch will resent rough
handling by becoming gradually "out
of order" without apparent cause. >.

To Make a Glass Cutter.

A glass cutter can easily be made
with an ordinary mapping pen and u
small piece of carborundum, or carbide
of silicon. Cut off part of the nib to
form small tube. Fit crystal or
part Of one of carborund,lm into the
tube, take 1t out again and dip one end
In scccotine or any other cement and
replace 1t. Next wind n piece of fine
wire tightly around the tube and part
Of the handle and fix it in notch cut
IN the lattcr. Put it aside for a day to
allow the cement to harden. A glass
cutter made thus will do its work as
we'll as the expensive diamond and a
great deal better than the ordinary
wheel cutter.

How Banana Tree. Grow.

1t Is peculiar fact that but ono
bunch of bananas grows on a tree.
After the fruit has been cut the tree is
then cut down to the ground, and from
the stump another tree sprouts which
bears another bunch the following
year. The greatest trouble Of farmers
is 10 keep the farms clear of sprouts.
They shoot up from the roots of tho
tree for radius of ten feet and grow
like weeds.
AS the fruit is cut from the trees it
is placed on the backs of little pack
donkeys,and transported in this way
to the coast. One donkey can carry
from three to six lunches, according to
the size OF the punches and the dis
tance from the coast. In the season at
Rarncoa there are more than 5000 dom
Keys that stretch along In line for
miles. plodding toward the coast with
their loads of bananas.

Don't Dine Alone.

How many people dine alone? The
restaurants all number solitary diners
among their regular clientage. How
many thousands Of people. men or wo-.
men, will eat lone dinner or supper
tonight in the cities and towns and
hamlets Of Christendom? The evil Of
eating alone is the subject of an ear
nest although cheerful warning from
the London Lancet. The hygienic val
uc OF sresarious dining is insisted up
on. The necessity Of taking food in
social fashion is an inherent racial sort
OF thing. and those who go against it
for years usually have to pay for it
With some Of the ills of indigestion.
Rrcakfasting alone is not bad for n
busy generation, but dining alone is
not habit to be long continued, in civ
ilization or out of it. without disastrous.
results.

Sen bathing.

A person can easily determine with
one indulgence whether or not open
air bathing Is hurtful to him. If cir
culation is speedily restored after he
has left the water, If his skin is well
reddcned and he is soon we'll warmed
up and as strong and ''lively" as when
he took his first plunge, then he may
properly assume that his bath has done
him good. If, OH the other hand, his
skin continues cold and clammy for 10
or 20 minutes, notwithstanding the
brisk rubbing he gives himself, and for
an hour or more afterward he is weak,
dull and languid, then he may be tolcr-
ably certain that there is something
wrong with him which forbids cold
bathing.
