 It was about the year 17S4 that the first forgerles on a very large scale were discovered by the Bank of Eng land, and these were done by one man, known from his favorlte disguise as "Old Patch" By a largo issue of notes spread over a long period he de- frauded the bank of more than f200,- 900, and. having only one conhdant bis mistress, great difficulty was ex- perienccd In tracing the source of the forgerles. "Old Patch" fin his check cred career of lottery office keeper, stockbroker and gambler had given banknotes careful study and acquired a knowledge of engraving, paper mak- ing and printing. He made his own ink. manufactured the paper and print cd the notes on a private press. In va rious dlsguises be hired boys from the streets to present the notes. Suspicion was at last aroused by his movements He was thrown Into prison, where he cheated the law by hanging himself in bis cell.-LondOn Chronicle.

son whom they immediately recognized en-
tered the shop, and seating himself on a
chair waited until the last of the people
whom they were serving had departed. He
addressed them in very amiable language,
declaring that he was quite satisfied with
the existing situation, as it was through
his own fault that his wife had left him,
and her friend, the grocer, would render her
lar happier than ne could have done. Then,
after invoking sort of benediction on the
couple, he asked II they could take him in
Tor few days, as he was not at that mo-
ment in very prosperous circumstances.
Much relieved, his wife and the tradesman
readily agreed to do so, and their visitor
stayed with them couple Of days, eating

he departed, without giving them any no.

The Makeup Of a Consul.
5s1-w&s-104t


A consul is. In a certain sense. the repre-
sentative of his country. 10 the people
among whom he is stationed and to the
local authorities he is the representation OF
his government. He should be a man OF
dignity. of self-possession. of good address
and bearing, Of tact and discretion, who
should command the respect and conf
dence of foreign merchants and officials
and who should be honored even by his
travelling countrymen. These qualifications
cannot be determined by a civil service ex-
animation, but they are matters which
should receive careful consideration. Hence.
the President must be allowed some dis
cretion in making selection from among
those whose names are presented to him
by the board OF examiners.
When Prince Gortchakon was at the
head Of the Russian foreign office, the can
didates for the diplomatic service. after
passing the examination. were always
granted an audience with his exceliency.
who then made a final decision by observ-
ing the manner In which they entered the
room. the way in which they addressed him
and their general department during the
interview. consul may know all about
invoices and ships, and also about seals
and sealing wax, but II he be rude and I'M

From Australia come hides, the pelts of
sheep, and bales Of wool; there are IRON
bound cotton bales from America, sacks of
almonds from Spain. and of niger toes
from Brazil; there are pipes of wine from
Madeira and Oporto. The wharves that
line the docks are redolent Of the tropics
and Of the orient. Here is. a shed covering
acres, in the lofty twilight of which are
piled huge roughly squared logs Of mahog-
any from the West Indies, and logs of
teakwood from the East Indies, to be used

exposure; when they came in. Then, too, it
took time to perfect the sanitary arrange
ments. One great difficulty which had to
be met was the opposition of the refugees
to obeying sanitary orders, such as We, in
this country, recognize Immediately as
necessary to health.
Measles of a very severe type were
brought into the camps among the newly
arrived, and the new cases were, as long as
possible, hidden by the mothers from the
surgeons. The inevitable result was the
spread of measles throughout the camps
and great mortality resulted from neglect.
The mothers had two favorite remedies; one,
the covering of the child with green paint;
the other, the administering of a tea made
OF goats dung. This is reported by sur
geons from different camps.
The mortality among the little children
a. first was 262 per thousand, but 1t has
been reduced to from seventy to eighty per
thousand. 1t Is to he noted that the normal
irfantile mortality in South Africa is very
great. At the request of Mr.. Chamberlain,
the governor Of South Africa ascertained
that the average death rate of thirty-two
towns taken collectively, is pa per thousand
When this was in discussion In the house
Of commons, a member announced that
there were three months in 1901-July, Au-
gust and September-when the infantile
mortality in the Scotland division of Liver
pool was $50 per thousand.
Camps Open to Boer Inspection.
Lord Kitchener is willing that the camps
should be inspected by Boer officers, under
proper restrictions. When General B. VII
joen asked that he might depute officer
to inspect the camps Lord Kitchener i'm
mediately acceded. General Viljoen select
ed Capt. Malan, who. after an inspection,
expressed his entire satisfaction with the
arrangements of them.
Baron Won Richthofen, secretary of state
for foreign affairs of Germany, said in the
reichstag: "In times of disaster, when a
people is especially sensitive, the hard
word uttered Is felt with double keenness;
the friendly remark is recognized with dou-
BILE gratitude. Let us be a little more just
in our criticisms. Let me illustrate how We
have been led astray. / have read the most

IN CHESS CIRCLES.


The local chess clubs negotiations for a
telegraph match with the Brooklyn Club
are moving along. After a letter was sent
asking as to the probable reception of a
challenge for such a match a reply stating
1t would be favorably considered was re-
ceived. and the formal challenge was dis
patched. Mr.. B. F. Walker was appointed
fnancier to raise by subscription the neces-
sary funds.
The Washington players realize the mag
nitude of their undertaking, as the Brook
.lyn Club contains many names we'll known
as stout opponents. yet they have some
good men themselves and hope to give a
fair account of themselves.
The seventh game in the match for the
District championship, played this week,
resulted In Mr.. Walkers favor. His score
