INDIANA's NICKNAME.
Why the Citizens of the state Are
Called Hoosiers.

'The origin of the nickname TIoosiers'
has been attributed to a score Of incidents
and things and still remains obscure and
unsettled, ~ said Willie a. Bugbee. Il have
always favored the Hussar derivation.
The story told. as l remember, was some
thing like this: The brilliant military
achievements Of the mounted cavalry or
Hussars in the Old World has excited
praise and admiration all over this coun-
try. They were splendidly mounted and
uniformed, dashing. courageous, and chiv-
alr0us, and their deeds of vaIor were
known all over the world from the fif-
teenth century down.
They were an aristocratic cavalry.
Down In southern Indiana. at this early
pioneer date a large body of horsemen
was formed for defense against the In
dians and outlaws that menaced the
/ frontier settlements. In emulation Of the
/ splendid cavalry OF Europe, they adopted
the name of Hussars, or, as the name is
correctly d-Hoozars-the letter
! II having the sound of double O. as can be
! seen by consulting Nebsters dictionary.

all kinds Of uniforms, with plow horses Of

busily occupied with a piece of raw iron

a commander OF detachment was
working away and turning out iron stakes
for use in the park. The other workmen
are, for the most part, soldiers. The
Turkish workman is uncommonly clever.
and is especially conspicuous by the as
tonishing readiness which he displays in
initiating strange work. Thus, 1 was
shown an imitation of a German orches-
trion, and the original could scarcely be
distinguished from the copy. Ia the gold
smiths art the Turks are extremely
adroit, and most OF the Turkish orders
are made in the Sultan's workshops. The
objects destined to be sent TO foreign po-
tentates are generally cabinet work. Such
pieces of furniture, which are often the
work of many years. are inlaid most ar
tistically with ivory, mother-of-pearl eb-
ony. and precious metals, and they are
thus of great value In addition to these
workshops the Sultan possesses n porce-
lain mandatory, which is managed by a
French expert, and turns out very sterling

WORKSHOPS OF ABDUL HAMID.
A Place Where Presents for Foreign
Rulers Are Made.

During my last visit to Constantinople
had the opportunity of making a close
study of the Sultan's workshops. They
re- situated on the right hand of the en-
trance TO the Yildiz Kiosk, and consist of
n mechanical workshop with foundry,
ioiner's shop, wood carving and carpen-
trv shops. and designing and modelling
room, which give employment to from tif-
~ TO sixty workmen. The work turned
ont in these workshops is exclusively Tor
the Imperial Palace, and in them are
made the costly presents which the sui
tan is so fond of sending TO foreign
princes 1t is said that the Ruler of the
Faithful often lends hand In some
special piece of work, but that is not quite
true; the most that the Sultan does is to
improve a design which has been made
according to his suggestions. and laid be-
fore him by the director of the work
shops. The latter is no less person than
the general of a division, and ne presents
a very imposing figure with his face full
of energy and his long white beard.
With a kindly smile from his blue eyes
his ExcelIency received me with great
courtesy and personally conducted me in
nv walk through the workshops His
thoroughly friendly reception. his blue
ewes. and especially his absolutely perfect
French accent, made me doubt his ma
tionality in spite of his Turkish name;
however. 1 ventured to pay him dis
Greet compliment upon his perfect
French, and the Pasha confessed to me
with a smile that he was not Turk but
a Belgian. He told me that he had been
q CAPTAIN in the Belgian Army, and that
shortly before the outbreak of the Russo
Turkish war he had left the Belgian ser
vice and entered that of Turkey. He
made rapid advance in his new home,
distinguished himself in several battles,
and finally was appointed general of di-
vision and director of the Sultan's work

THIS SIGN OF THE FOUR.
One Way TO Detect Counterfeit Bill
with Ease.

Talking about counterfeiters puts me
in mind of one. a notorious rascal who
was caught not long ago in this city while
at his nefarious trade" said an ex-Treas-
ury official recently. The paper money
this man produced was absolutely perfect
in every detail but one, and 1t seems
strange that man of his knowledge and
experience of the art of counterfeiting
should have overlooked it." Here the
speaker took one dollar note from his
pocket 1t was new and crisp. and he
pointed out a 1iminutive letter "C'' on the
right under the bins number and another
down in the other corner.
Now" the ex-official continued, Il
don't suppose there are so men out of iCO.
outside the Treasury Department, know
what these seemingly unnecessary letters
are on the United States bills. And even
If they haG .oticed them | am willing to
bet that not ne of them could tell what
| they signify.
The ex-Trei .ry man handed the re
| porter a United States note and request
| ed that the reporter read to him the last
| four figures of it's number, which were
| 1921. Then the ex-official said, almost in
stantly: THE letter on that bill is B.
! When the bill was examined the diminu-
| tive b was found on it in two places. Half
| a dozen other bills were produced ana
| when the Treasury man was told the last
| four figures of their numbers he was
| able to tell, with lightning rapidity what
| letters would be found on each pIl! IN
| each case the letter was either A, b, q
or ID.
',The explanation is simple, said the
| ex-official. If you take the last four hs-
ures of tie number on any phi, no mater
what its denomination, and divide them
| by. four, you will. of course, have either
| q remainder of zero l. 2 or 3. If the re-
mander is zero, the letter on the pill VIII
