Once, in the island of Jamaica,
friend and l were camping in q cave
in a deep valley among the noun

and hooting about the entrance one
night. My friend wished to get him
but our gun-barrels were dull and

An Oxford Bank Note.

when the forger was abroad in the
land, and it was desired to make his
task more difficult. A sample Oxford
note was adorned with number Of
unintelligible quotations from out Of
the way apguages-Arabic. Coptic and
others. 1t was thought no forger
could produce them, and an elaborate
argument was given In with the sam
pie note to that effect. Nowadays any
note may be copied by photography
and the unique quality of its paper is
