18 HARD TO COUNTERFEIT
Bank of England Note of Peculiar
Color and of Remarkable Strength
and Thinnest.
About the year 1819 a great out*
eiy was raised against the Bank of
England for not adopting a style of
note that could not be imitated, at
the same time preventing the sacri-
fice of life which at that period was
all too common, the punishment for
forgery being death. The subject
became so pressing that the govern
ment appointed commissioners to in-
vestigate the cause of the numerous
forgeries, and whether a mode could
be devised whereby the forging of
bank notes might be prevented. The
result was the bank note of today.
The color of the paper is peculiar
and cannot be imitated exactly by
counterfeiters except at great ex
pense. The combined thinnesq and
strength of the paper are also unique.
It is made in sheets large enough for
two notes. Each note, before it is
sized, weighs about eighteen grains,
and if then doubled, it is strong
enough to suspend a weight of 36
pounds.
EVIDENTLY WOMAN OF TACT.

Husband—I wonder how that vul-
gar Mrs. Blot managed to get into

edly at bridge, my dear.
•OAP QUICKLY MADE.
E. Savy has invented a machine
for instantaneously converting liquid
soap into solid 6oap to be used in
bars or as a powder. As described in
his patent, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, the apparatus comprises a ro-
table drum containing channels to
receive and divide the soap paste into
fine flakes, and provided with means
for the introduction of a cooling
gas or liquid. Fitting closely against
the side of this drum there revolves
in the opposite direction a smaller
cylinder with double walls, which
acts as a hopper for the liquid soap
sides of the cylinder coinciding with
paste. Steam or hot water is intro-
duced between the walls, while the
aides of the cylinder are pierced with
circular openings coinciding with
the channels in the large drum.
Means are also provided for dis-
charging the solidified soap from the
drum in the form of a bar or bars.
THE UNUSUAL.
"It is the unexpected that hap-
pens,'" remarked the moralizer.
•That's right," rejoined the de-
moralizer. *1 once knew it to rain
after the leather bureau had pre*
dieted it"
SAVAGE CLUB'S FAMOUS CUP
Drinking Vessel That Was Owned by
Goldsmith, David Garrick, Doctor
Johnson and Burke.
The famous literary society of
London, called the Savage club, has
traditional connection with Will's
Coffee-House and the Mermaid tav-
ern of early days. The reader of Mr.
Watson's recent volume of history
and anecdote relating to the club
will come across in its pages inci-
dental mention of things that recall
names that are famous in our liter-
ature. How rich in associations a
simple drinking cup may become ia
shown by the following:
In 1902 there was brought to the
club a most remarkable relic of
which the lord mayor of London had
recently obtained possession. This
was a loving-cup holding a pint, or
a little more, which, as certain in-
scriptions testified, was at one time
the property of Oliver Goldsmith.
On Goldsmith's death it passed into
the hands of David Garrick, and
thence to the possession of one of the
literary and artistic clubs of the day.
Then, after- an interval, it passed
into Doctor Johnson's hands, for
one of the inscriptions engraved on
its silver rim records that it was pre-
sented to Burke by his friend, Sam
uel Johnson, Doctor of Letters, as a
memento of Johnson's visit to Bea-
consfield, which was Burke's home.
The date of the presentation was
1779, five years after the death of
Goldsmith, and five before the death
of Johnson.
BERNHARDT WANTS HER DDG
Sarah Reminds Manager Connor of
His Promise Every Time He Aska
a Favor of Her.
William F. Connor, Mme. Sarah
Bernhardt's manager, recently prom
ised the actress an Airedale terrier.
Mr. Connor raises dogs of that breed
and is very proud of them. But he
hasn't "made good." Now when he
has a favor to ask of Mme. Bern-
hardt he finds that promise of a dog
gets in the way awfully.
Recently he went to get Mme.
Bernhardt's consent to play an extra
matinee.
Oh, ze extra matinee, cot is?" re-
plied the actress with a shrug of her
shoulders. "Veil, vere ees ze do??"
The next time it was about an en-
gagement in Boston.
"Oh, Boston, eh ?" 6he replied.
"Veil, vere ees ze dog?"
And so it goes. Mr. Connor has
decided to send to his home and get
that dog without any further delay.
Then, he says, he'll never promise
anybody a dog again.—New York
Telegraph.
THOUGHTFUL GIRL.
The young man was calling on the
girl. He didn't know her very well,
but she looked good to him. He
wanted to call again the next night,
but hardly had the nerve to ask
permission to do so.
"I'd like to come up again," he
said, when he was ready to go home.
"How about next week, some time?"
A look of disappointment came
over her face. "Next week?" she
said. "Why, isn't that—er—well,
1*11 tell you wtyit to do; you come up
tomorrow night and well decide
ferhich night next week you may caU.
A Chrfttmas Criticism.
Orvllle Wright, discussing flying In
New York, said to a reporter:
"The French claim to make the
best machines, but our foreign order
books tell a different story.
"Our foreign order books give the
game away like the little Dayton boy
at the Christmas treat. He got from
the tree at this treat a pair of trouft-
ers, and, waving them around his
head, he electrified the entire Sunday
school by shouting In a loud and Joy-
ous voice:
" 'Oh, ma, these pants must be new.
Pa never had a suit like that."
Hardened.
Scott—Is it true that Coolelgh Is
financially embarrassed?
Mott—He's fearfully In debt, but it
doesn't seem to embarrass him much.
And It sometimes happens that a
man likes to have his wife get so mad
she won't speak to him—then she will
not ask him for money.
CONSTIPATION
Munyon's Pan
Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives op
cathartics. They co&J
the liver into activi
ity by Rentlc meth<
od«. They do not
ecour; they do nof
gripe; they do no|
weaken; but they dq
start all the secre*
tions of the liver and
' stomach in a way that
eoon puts these or*
gans in a healthy
condition and cor-
rects constipation.
Munyon's Paw-Paw Tills are, a toniq
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They|
invigorate- instead of weaken; they em
rich the blood instead of impoverish it;
they enable the stomach to get all the
nourishment from food that is put into
it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope, they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels to
act without physic. Price 25 cents.
