Bank Note Forgeries.

Apropos of t!” forging of some 46 £20 Bank of Englund notes recently, the London Times says: ‘‘Forgeries of Bank of England notes are very rare, which, we believe, is more than can be said with regard to the notes of the banks of Franee and Russia. The very large cir- culation of these great institutions and the small denominations of notes which they are obliged to issue no doubt make it easier for the forger in those coun- tries to carry on his trade. The Bank ef France changes its plates very fre- quently, but has not succeeded in baf- fling the criminals. We understand that during the last five years the averaze number of forged Bank of England notes detected was only 10.1 per an- num. During the previous five years the annual average was 17.6, owing chiefly to a number of forged £5 notes being put in circulation in 1891. Prob- ably it is not generally known that there are still a number of forged £1 and £2 notes in existence. They were forged long ago and are not included in the figures composing the above aver- ages. The number of genuine notes of all denominations paid in 1896 was 16,485,495, so that the average propor- tion of forgeries is infinitesimal. It may be as well to mention, as there appears to be some misapprehension on the point, that forged notes are never paid: and never have boen paid, As to giving warning of forged notes being in circu- lation, a warning that would reach ev- ery banker and money changer could not possibly be given, and were it given it would, from the nature of the case, be too late to be of use, for, as a rule, forgers present the whole of a batch of forged notes at several places simulta- neously and then disappear. The first news the bank can have that forged notes are out must come from the very parties who have had the misfortune to cash them.”’

eo ae ee { A Story of Tamagno.

Several years ago, about ten, when the tenor Tamagno was down in Chile, a wealthy young woman made him a gorgeous present. It was a gold cigarette case literally incrusted on both sides with diamonds, his initials being form- ed on one side with emeralds, hers on the other with rubies. It was perhaps the most costly cigarette case of its kind ever manufactured.

Tamagno is a tremendously big fel- low, with a chest like that of Bob Fitz- simmons and a voice like that of the bull of Bashan. He is said to be a most frugal creature. Whether or not he re- ciprocated the Chilean lady’s passion I don’t know. Possibly he didn’t, for all great tenors are cold. At any rate, he left Chile at the end of his season, and when next he appeared there the lady was married and the mother of a flock of young Chileans. He had kept the cigarette case, however; carried it al- ways with him in the upper left pocket of his waistcoat.

The lady who gave him the cigarette case became a widow @ year or 80 ago and last February was in Rome. So was Tamagno.

It is said they came upon each other at a carnival ball on the eve of last Ash ‘Wednesday. Mighty few words were spoken. The lady drew out a stiletto and promptly made a lunge at the tenor’s heart. Her blow struck something hard, and the stiletto was broken off short. She said in her sentimental fashion that it was the tenor’s hard heart. But it wasn’t; it was the guardian cigarette case.—United States Tobacco Journal

GRAY SQUIRRELS.

Hiow They Hide Their Scattered Stores Vor the Winter.

Gray squirrels are winter reighbors, but very shy ones. I have tried to coax them to come into the yard for walnuts by leaving out a suppiy under the trees there and gathering al] from other trees, but they were too well supplied with nuts in the wood. I did succeed in gain- ing their confidence through a pair of tame squirrels that had been raised in a cage by a neighbor. I induced the neighbor to set them free, and, apparent- ly to reward me, they took up their abode in the tall cottonwoods and pop- lars about the lawn, but more likely be- cause the neighbor had no large trees. While they remained an occasional wild squirrel would call or spend the day in the great trees with my tame ones. But the villainous pot hunter and his worth- less cur destroyed my pets and drove the visitors bac!s to their wild state.

The gray squirrel is not as provident as the little ground squirrel, who toils through the long days of summer and tall to provide himself a home and lay up astore for winter use. What little the gray squirrel does lay by for a rainy day is not stored in his den, but scatter- ed here and there about the woods, like the prudent housewife afraid to put all the eggs in one basket.

I learned from my tame squirrels their method of hiding nuts. The nut is carried in the mouth, and some time and thought are given to the selection of a likely place to hide it. When the spot is finally decided upon, a hole the size of the nut is dugin the ground, the nut thrust in and pushed down hard with the nose, a little earth pressed and patted down, and leaves or grass tossed about in the most natural way. After a snowfall their tracks will be found in every direction, from the den trees to all parts of the wood. Following these trails, one will find many little holes in the snow where hidden mats have been dug up.—J. H. Kennedy in Har- per’s Magazine.

Fresh Fish.

In many places in warm climates it is customary to keep fish alive until they are sold. It would otherwise be impossible to keep them from spoiling, except by too expensive refrigerating. The marketman is likely to be the fish- erman himself and to keep his catch in ® well on his boat or in a slatted box in the water. The buyer looks over the fish and picks ort the one he wants, and the seller then kills the fish with a blow on tye head with a club or with a knife. It is a common thing to kill the fish in the presence of the customer. Fish are sold in this way at, for in- stance, Key West, Havana and Genoa. —-New York Sun.

Unfamiliar Pook In Oklahoma,

A committee of Quakers appeared be- fore, the Oklahoma legislature the other day and asked for the abolition of capi- tal punishment. One of them started in to real from the New Testament, when a backwoods member interrupted him with the remark that he “‘needn’t bring any of them eastern law books in here.”’ —Philadelphia Press.

McKinley’s Eight Inch Cigars.

At the dinner which he gave to the cabinet last week the president brought out a box of cigars that were fully 8 inches long and 14 inches in diameter. Several of the guests who are tough old smokers, like Mr. Gage and Mr. Bliss, Mr. Hanna and Colonel Herrick of Cleveland, undertook te smoke them and say that their flavor was very fine, the finest they bad ever tasted in a cigar, but ope would last a whole evening, and they did not have time to smoke more than half way up before they were call- ed to rejoin the ladies. These cigars were received last week by the president from a manufacturer in Havana and

were a part of an invoice made to order |},

for the emperor of Austria, who likes his cigars long, fat and strong and pays $20 for a box containing only ten cigars, or $2 per cigar. The tobacco is of the finest quality to be obtained in Cuba. The cigars are made with unusual care, and there is just as much tobacco in ten of them as in a box containing 100 or- dinary sized cigars. The president re- ceived these through a friend who hap- pened to have been visiting in Cuba and was asked by the manufacturer to bring them to him. —Chicago Record.

Wild Horse Hunters.

“It is a curious thing that even Eng- lishmen who are considered above the average in point of intelligence enter- tain ridiculous ideas about this coun- try,’’ said a well known sportsman re- cently. ‘‘A certain London paper re- cently published in good faith ‘a story to the effect that a party of London sportsmen, becoming disgusted that big game has been nearly all killed off in Africa and India, have in contempla- tion the crossing of the Atlantic early in the autumn of this year to try their hand at shooting one of the fleetest and wariest of big game—the wild horse. At the present moment, says the paper in question, it is estimated that there are more than 2,000,000 wild horses in the Rocky mountain ranges, and they have become a terrible nuisance, so that the killing of them is as great a benefit to Utah as the slaughter of rabbits is to Australia. Of course, there are some wild horses in the west, but they are neither as wary nor as plenitful as Londoners seems to think.’’—Philadelphia Record.
