A Vase Worth f15.O0O.

Another family treasure of great
value which has since passed into the
keeping OF the nation is the Portland
vase, now exhibited in the British
Museum. This vase comes from
italy, and what It's age is lno man
knows, though 1t has been proved
that in 235 AID. 1t was deposited in
a sepulchre under the Monte del
Grano, three miles from Rome, and
is believed to have contained the
ashes of the Emperor Seyerus. But.
whether or no, Pope Urban VIII. had
It dug up; and for more than two
centuries 1t reposed in the Barberini
Palace at Rome In 1886 the Duke
of Portland purchased it from Sir
William Hamilton for 1929 guineas.
and deposited 1t In the British Mu-
scum fifteen years later. The vase is
only ten inches high, In 1845 man
named Lloyd, employed at the mu-
scum. picked up stone and hurled
It, in a At of frenzy, at the case
which contained the precious relic.
The vase was smashed into hundreds
of pieces, but with great ingenuity
they were all put together again, aud
as 1t now stands is said to be worth
at the very least G15, 000.--West-

Oldest Artificial Leg.

What is said by the British Med
lcal Journal" to be the oldest artificial
leg in existence is now in the museum
of the Royal college of Surgeons of
England. 1t was found in tomb at
Capua, and is described in the cata-
Iogue as follows; Roman artificial
leg; the artificial limb accurately rep
resents the form Of the leg; it is made
of pieces of PLATA bronze, fgastened by
bronze nails to q wooden core Two
iron bars, having holes at their free
ends, are. attached to the upper extrem-
lty of the bronze; a Quadrilateral piece
of iron, found near the position of the
foot, is thought to have given strength
to it. There is no trace of the foot
and the wooden core had nearly crum-
bled away. That skeleton had its waist
surrounded by belt of sheet bronze
edged with small hiyets, probably used
to fasten leather lining. Three paint
ed vases cred figures on black
ground lay at the feet of the skeleton.
The vases belong to rather advanced
period in the decline of art (about
three hundred years B. C)."-Phils-

method of determining just what part

ing Each mutilated bill is carefully

a piece Of glass the exact size OF the
bill. This glass is divided into FORT

If the expert can find that the REM
nants Of the bill fill twenty-four OF the
Squares, or three-fifths of them, the
bill will be redeemed
Not long ago Missouri farmer was
leaning over to feed his pigs when no
dropped his purse into the pen. When
he discovered his loss an hour later Ire
searched the pen and found the purse,
but nothing of it's contents. The pigs
were slaughtered that day and the
remains of the money taken to Wash
ington. Three hundred dollars we're
returned to the farmer.
Burned money is the hardest for the
government experts to work on, with
the possible exception of money which
has been gnawed by mice. The depart
ment at Washington once received a
cigar box full Of money which had been
sent from Philadelphia with the neces-
sary affidavit showing that it had been
inside a poorly constructed safe and
had been burned to the condition in
which it was forwarded. Evidently
with the idea that the original pack
age ought not to be broken, the send
er enclosed the charred pieces with
some silver coins which had also been
in the badly burned safe. In its pas
sage through the mails the heavy sill
yer was shaken through the charred
bills till there was hardly piece left
the size of the head of a pin.
Mrs. Brown, who is at the head of
the experts who handle the multi
ated money, called two of her best
helpers and the three, by the aid of
magnlfying glasses, soon brought out
four fifty dollar bills, and within an
hour recommended that they be re-
deemed by the Treasury.
Only infinite care and patience can
bring any result with the mice chewed
bills. Each of the pieces is laid out
on hard, smooth surface, and with
the assistance of magnifying glasses
they can be placed in their proper po-
sition in relation to one another. Tie
experts have a copy.of every bill which
has been issued by the government.
These are used as models as soon as
enough of the bill has been laid out
to establish it's issue. The experts say
that the best bills were printed by the
government during the civil war per-
iod. The grade of paper was superior
to any other used and the engraving
has never been excelled.

Nrecution Oh spies.

The ceremony of disposing of g
condemned spy in the English army
always follows definite precedent.
The unfortunate man is surround
ed by a detachment of infantry, and,
after he is provided with pick and
shovel. he is marched off to select
cd spot and ordered to dig his own
grave. This done, the tools are ta-
ken from him and his eyes are BAN
daged. The attending chaplain reads
portions selected from the burial
service and from the ranks of the es-
cort twelve men are selected at ran
dom by the officer in charge. These
men, having stacked their own rifles
are led to where twelve other rifles
are awaiting them, six of which are
loaded with blank cartridges. One
of these is handed to each man, so
that no one knows whether the rife
he holds contains bullet or not and
none can say for certain that the
