SUBSTITUTE COPPER FOR GOLD.
Bank Of England Branch swindIed In
an Unusual Way.

LOndOn.-A remarkable story OF
halfpennies being substituted for half
sovereigns was told at the Manchester
city police court the other day. when
Henry Douglas Anderson. who had
been employed at the Manchester
branch of the Bank OF England and
after absconding had been arrested in
Canada, was charged with stealing
T1.O8l.
In stating the case for the prosecu-
tion, F, E. Smith, NJ. p. said that tho
prisoners duty was that OF separating
light weight gold coins from those
Of full weight and he had to put the
full weight coins into bags which he
had to label and sign. On July 81 he
absented himself. and on August 9 the
bank issued rs bags OF half sovereisns
TO Messrs. Williams, Deacon's bank.
and IA of them which had been made
up by the prisoner. were found to
have been tampered with, half sover-
sisns having been replaced by the nee
cssary number of halfpennies to make
up the correct weight Two other
bags in the banks treasury were also
found to have been tampered with in
the same way. and the total sum
missing was & .0Sl.
On September Is the bank received
letter from the prisoner in Winni-
peg. in which he practically admitted
his guilt and made reference to the
mad act he had committed.
Evidence was given by number OF
bank clerks. including retired de-
tective Inspector. named John Wool.
yen. who, describing his search for
Anderson. said he went down to Whit.
btable-on-Sea and found the prisoners
wife and family living there. In

REPRINTED OF HIS BARGAIN. ]
****+++++++++-t ++++++.+++4.,

A certain young man of literary tastes has two somewhat incongruous yet almost equally sxpensive fads-a fondness for dogs of illustrious pedi- gree and | love for first editions of celebrated books One day he invited q friend to his house to zee two of his latest acquisitions One of them was an imported bull-terrier, and the other was q rare copy of . work by . eele- brated Boston author. He exhibited the dog first
 Isn't he a beauty!" he exclaimed. Hes the finest specimen of that breed that was ever brought to this town, and I got him for about half what he is worth Yes, he's perfectly harmless, and as gentle as he can be. Now I'll abow you something in the book line that you don't see every day. Cost me a good round sum of money, too."
 They went into the library, and the first thing that caught his eye was the mangled wreck of his cherished volume lying on the table. He summoned his colored valet.
 "Sam," be said, wrathfully, what has happened to this book7 I wouldn't have had 1t ruined for a hundred dol iars!"
 Hit wuz de dawg, suh," answered Sam. "You lef' I'm in hyuh when yo' went away, suh, an he done chawed 1t all up. Yer sorry, suh."
 The following advertisement appear cd among the small lads" in a local paper the next day:

You are taken out to the back porch, where c big tin basin-slts on a long, low shelf. There Is cool water a-plenty, with yell low soap and clean. rough towels. You and the master of the house compose yourselves in big splint-bottom rocking chairs, light your pipes and watch your 'critter" rolling in the stable lot, while a small black person waits for him to get through, holding two bundles of sweet-smelling fodder to give him after ward.
 Soon a swarm of colored children with an assortment of cur dog comes trooping Into the yard. "Hi, dere, Gin dy!" "Sick 'em, Tige!" And away go the chickens, with the dogs and plcka- ninnies after them. There is a vast clatter and uproar of clucks and screams, and, presently. somewhere under the house you catch the sound of chokes and squawks which signify as- assination.
 At last, after inhaling many grateful odors, you are summoned to the living room and there, assembled without os. tentation, are the fried relics of your feathered friends, great cuts of savory homemade bacon, heaps of fresh eggs, cooked on both sides, hot biscuits and cornbread, honey, yellow milk, steam. ing coffee and slabs of butter, with the perfume of the clover rich upon 1t.

 ''The first thirE-three years of 6 mans life Is for growth" Dr. King as. serts 1.-The next thiry-thres-year pc. riod is for work, and mans remaining years are for the enjoyment of the fruits of labor.
 "Stoutness at 40 is as much . sign of old age as gray hair. When 1t is no ticed the diet should De cut down one third.
 "The ideal old age is to be lean, spare and active.
 For paleness eat lean meat and spin. ach.
 ITO make gray brain matter, eat eggs, beans and oatx
 For sound sleep, eat onions and gar. lie.
 For a pure brain stimulant, drink coffee.
 After exhausting mental labor, eat yolk of eggA
 After exhaustns physical labor drink infused tea.
 Oats for children and Indian corn for adults form almost perfect food. Meat Is the only food for a severe eff. fort Too much meat, however. causes bad temper. The nearest approach to a perfect brain stlmulant Is coffee.

William J. Burns is Credited with
 that Distinction.
 William J. Burns, who Is working up the evidence against the officials of San Francisco, is the best detective in the service of the United States gov- ernment. His work for the secret ser vice is one of the unwritten classics of the service. The rounding up of the biggest counterfeiting operators that have ever appeared in the country-the Philadelphia-Lancaster gang-was his case. He had many assistants, but he was at the head of the investigation. The Taylor -Bredell gang, as 1t was called, made S100 silver certificates that got by bank tellers and skilled clerks in subtreasuries as readily as the genuine notes. This gang. made up of wealthy men, manufactured counter felt internal revenue stamps. by means of which they defrauded the govern ment out of s2600O0 In stamps.
 As an outgrowth of that trial. FL lery P. Ingham, former United States attorney at Philadelphia, and his as- sistant, Harvey K. Hewitt, were con- victed of a charge of attempting bribery. The four counterfeiters were each sent to the penltentiary for

 Because they are bad and won't ex. plode, general"
 All bosh, I tell you, sir; you don't catch me with such silly stuff. This very evening you shall be tried by court martial"
 The captain then took a shell out of the heap, lighting the fuse, and hold Ing the smoking projectile in his hand he saluted his superior officer, saying See for yourself!" Paskievitch, with out wincing, stood with folded arms awaiting to see whether the shell would burst or the fuse go out When the match had gone out the captain threw the shell on the ground and the general, muttering to himself, He Is right, " rushed off to the scene of action to take some other measures.

Indoor life, with the numerous artih- cial and unwholesome conditions which 1t imposes, Is a powerful factor in low ering the vitality, diminishing the pow CT to resist disease and in maintaining a continual contact with conditions pro ductive of disease. Monkeys and most other wild animals deteriorate rapidly in captivity because of the deprivation of the fresh air and sunshine to which they are naturally adapted. Civilized women are almost compelled to live sedentary lives. This fact accounts In large degree for the almost universal invalidism among them.
