Only Finest Artist*
The portraits and other freehand
decorations on government notes are
the work of the finest artists in the
country, says Everybody's Magazine.
Few. indeed, are the men who can
turn out equally fine engravings. Dif-
ferent vingnettes on the same bills art
the Work of different men, each a mas-
ter in his line.'
The counterfeiter thus finds on
♦•very note several types o£ engraving

In general, ft hasbeen found that'
landscape scenes are more suseeptitfte

form the sttrne class of work with the

they are assured such a large financial
return through honest endeavor that
there is. fio motive for them to turn
criminal. 1
When the work is that of a for-
eigner, the task is harder. Some
skilled engravers have come into this
country and set up counterfeit plants
which baffled detection for a'time. Al-
bert I.eon. who eluded the government
men for two years, was a Russian
refugee. In his native land lie bad
made counterfeit paper rubles for the
Nihilists. It was only natural that lie
should turn to spurious money making
in the United States.

Over Charles Carroll
I paid two visits to Charles Carroll,
the signer of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. and dined with him and"Mr.
Gallatin at Mr. Caton's. Old Mr. Car-
rol?. conrtlj' In manners and bright
in mind, was the tife of rhe party. ; lie
was then in his ninetieth year, friit
carried himself as if thirty years
younger. On terminating my first call
npon this very active patriarch, lv«
started from hie chair, ran downstair*
before me, and opened the fron-t «KT«r.^
Aghast at this unexpected prooeediufc,* ■ ^
I began to murmur my regretsin carts' -j!- '
lng him the exertion.
"Exertion?" exclaimed Mr. Cart'dfU-
"Why. what do you take me for? I
bave ridden sixteen miles horseback
this morning and am good for as many
more this afternoon." f
On leaving tiie house" General
art told me that Mr. Carroll'1 made'M?
a point of etiquette to see every guest
well over his threshold. 1 W*
"But yoo should sec him when
art ladies," he added., ."t^e old jfentW';

Oh! Dot, She?
A prominent Indianapolis family en*
tertained some distinguished out-of-
town business men at dinner the otheit
day. Robby, age two and one-half,
was permitted to eat at the table pro-
vided he behaved himself. Seated
between his big sister and one of the
guests, he managed to hold still and
not talk.
After the maid served the dinner
j everyone began to eat. But Bobby
! sat staring down at his plate, which
i contained some mashed potatoes and
j gravy and a large juicy Steak bone,
! with an air of utter hopelessness.
! "What's the matter, Bobby?" asked
j ene of the guests.
| "Oh, that maid of ours still eats the
meat off my bone before she brings it''
in," replied Bobby angrily.—Iridlpnap-

Not Hard to Protect
Trees From Rodent*
Rabbits aad mice destroy tb«u-
•ands of dollars' worth of young tree#
annually, according to jthe observa-
tions of a well-known fmit specialist,
who recommends the use ol, some
scheme of protecting the growth*
ifin4V.';ot;.pTOt'ee^ wi-.
lEonly tiseff Hoi this purpose,; namely,
ftefevy roofiing ^sper which does not
contain tar, or wood veneer protector,
as sold by nurseries and fruit supply
houses. However, a galvanized wirf
of one-quarter of an inch mesh ft
said to be the best. While it is more
expensive than the other two, It will
last for many years and does not
have to be removed from the tree
in the spring, as should be done
with the paper and wood protections.
The protectors should he placed
around the treesJn such a way that
mice cannot gets, in from underneath
and at a height of about 3Q inches,
so that the entire trunk may be pro-
tected. If the wire .mesh is used, cut-
ting the wire is advised in order that
the protection formed will be four or
five inches in diameter to allow for
several years' growth of the trunk.

Cure for Worry.
My wife has a simple way of free*
lug herseif from the fits of worry
and depression that sweep over her
occasionally. When she realizes that'
she is cast down or is worrying about
something she goes back in her mind
until sbe finds the tiling that started
her off on her train of depression.
Often It is some little thing, a mere
trifle—something some one has said;
the late delivery of the groceries, a
letter in the mail beyond recall. Once
she knows what it is, she can -put tt
aside and free her mind from Its ef-
fects, or prepare to meet them.—Ho-
mer Croy in the American Magazine.

"Tickets to what?" Frank wanted

Loci,r_native's Breathing
The puffing of a railway engine is
a common-enough sound, but few
people know by what It ts regulated.
Actually the number of pulls nado
by a locomotive in the course of a
Journey depends on the circumference
of its driving wheels.
No matter what the speed of the
train may be, the engine will give
four puffs for every complete turn of
the driving wheels. The wheels may
vary in circumference, but the aver-
age is 20 feet.
With the average driving wheels
and a speed of fifty mites an l ow , a
locomotive will give SS0 puffs a ir!n-
ute, or ."2,800 puffs an hour, t" • driv-
ing wheels performing 13,200 <: •;n-

Goes Far Into Pa*
V«ry little bas beon written abonl
metsl celling?. Nevertheless, metal
ceilings and sidewalks fill an impor-
tant place in the building finish of to-
day. it is Interesting to note, bow-
ever, how tbey have come into use,
says tbe Boston Herald.
Metal ceilings, we find in history,
originated bark to the time of King
Solomon. At that time tbey used
metals and hammered Them into shape
into panels, and from this ancient be-
ginning the start of the metal ceiling
Industry has worked its way, until at
tbe pref* nt time this form of interior
finish is' used in Ihe highest class
buildings thronghont The world.
Tbe old artists of ancient times
wrought ail their panel effects by ham-
mering the metal Into molds and vari-
ous shapes, suud as labor did not have
tbe value of today It gave them
s chance to lighten np their construc-
tion down through the building rather
than put in stone panels with the
subsequent heavy rich arch supports
that were used before the time of
steel girders.
Many of the fine old chnrehes on
tbe continent today have large panel
ceilings fashioned out by these ancient
workmen and they bave withstood the
test of hundreds upon hundreds of
years.
The metal celling industry todaj
has grown into such gigantic propor-
tions that the most modern machinery
and, in fact, the automobile body con- I
structlon owes its entire start to the ]
lessons learned from the metal ceil- t
ing manufacturer* in stamping

Planned to Connect
England and Francm
Wot more than a century plane have
been discussed from time to time for
constructing a tunnel under the Eng-
lish channel, but the project never
has. been seriously , attempted. The
first person to propose a tunnel was
a French engineer named Mathieu.
Later Thome de Gamond, another
Frenchman, managed to excite tench
Interest in an idea for submerging a
series of 1run tubes and in the con-
struction of a tunnel proper and he
obtained tbe support of the Frencb
emperor in the tunnel plan. Thirty
years ago a channel bridge of colossal
dimensions tickled the public fancy.
It was to cost $150,000,000 and a com-
pany actually was formed to carry
out the proposal, but the formation of
the company was as far as it went.
More startling was an idea for build-
ing two immense chutes, one on each
side of "die straits, by means of which
passengers could be projected quickly
from one country to the •)ther.-->-Lc>
