taken now than formerly in the duuil let

many thefts. In one Instance a girl was
the guilty party. During the iatt;io years,

sun why WOOMI did not steal was not be
cause they were too good, hut because they
lacked the requisite nerve. Probably be
was mistaken. At all events, their temp
tations are greater, their KiilariflH bciim
smaller. Their opportunities are unex
celled, Inasmuch as they do nil the count
ing of tho oath.
If a bill mUtl bo sent in a latter, the
Ktfest plan is toroll it tightly In the shape

the sheet Incloeed. Arranged In that fash

per when drawn by means of n noodle
through the envelope, and the smell of it
will be less perceptible. So peculiar is tho
effluvium belonging to the bonk or treas
ury notes that exports at the bureau of en
graving say they can distinguish thorn
when sealed in envelopes by tho nosoevery
time. A thief once showed to government
detectives who hail taught him that h
could pick out from n pile of inn letters
every one of seven which contained paper
cash, blindfolded, merely by scent. All

vided with peepholes, through whicii clerks
may be watched while at work. Out of
15,000,000 registered missive and pack
age! transmitted annually through tho
United States mails less than 300 are stolen
by dishonest postal oflicial.
During one OOIlgTCSa live bills for the es
tablishment of a jxwtnl fractional currency
were offered. None of them passed. All
of them were declared unsatisfactory by
the postoffice department, which regards
the plan as open to many objections. To
begin with, several thousand small post
offices are burglarized every year. If they
kept sums in postal currency on hand, an
additional incentive to robbery would be
furnished. The postmasters would have
to give larger bonds, and they would hard
ly be able to do so. In 45,000 oflices tho
business transacted is so small that the
compensation is less than WOO per annum.
In 30,000 the pay does not exceed 1100,
.ind there nre a great many in which tho
remuneration of the postmaster is not over
tin. If the currency was made purchas
able and redeemable only at money order
offices, the purpose in view would be de
feated to n great extent.
The matter of expense must bo consid
ered. The fractional notes would have to
be printed on the best bank note paper,
with tlrst rati) engraving, and they would
cost $3 per 1,000. Estimating the issuo for
the first year at 12,000,000 pieces of postal
currency, tho expenditure thus involved
would be $35,000. Commissions to post
masters on sales would amount to $30,000
nment, trying to make it as difficult us
possible.

"Oh, no," replied the young lady.
"Miss lilaiik has it finished aud waiting

This nonplused the attorney, lie was
sure his private stenographer had not left

possible for such aoompiRated agreement

yon have transcribed a very difficult dic

Cough was an admirer of the lad, and so
was Prosecutor Plattor.
At their reqUest the little fellow sang in
a voice of iiiicctiug sweetness, "kiss and

and when ho had concluded asked bil

"Davie Connelly," said tho lnd.
"Why -ahem who's your father? " nsk
ed the judge, with a suspicion of tender
ness in his voice.
"Why. he's the man you just sent to
jail." said tho littlw fellow.
"I think we had bettor let thu father go
for the boy's sake," said Mr. Plattor.
"Sing'My Mother's Picture,' " suggest
ed inspector dough, and the DOy sang
with tender emotion the appeal of the child
not to sell his mother's portrait. It was
a sweet, pathetic refrain that brought
emotions to the heart.
"Does your father get drunk often?'
asked tho judge as ho looked sympathetic
ally at the little singer.
"No, sir. This is the first time in a
year," he replied. "And, judge, if you
will let him go. I'll work nt the Louvre
next week and bring you the money for
his line."
"You? Why, what do you earn?'
"Seventeen dollars and a half a week,"

An Oddity of Skin Grafting.
After n series of observations extending
over a period of 12 years and experiment
ing on "J3 individuals of both sexes and
of opposite colors Professor Thiersch of
I.eipslc has given tho following as the
result: If a pUce of negro'sskin ingrafted
on tho flesh of a white man Of woman, the
transplanted piece, as soon ns it begins to
properly adhere, gradually changes in col
or and texture until it becomes indistin
guishable from that of the surrounding
cuticle, the process of change usually oocu
pying a period of from M to 119 days to
make thi compute transformaiton. tin

person is grafted to thu flesh of a negro,

mitted finally takes place, is not nearly BO
rapid, usually occupying a period Of i -

trihuting the notes, just as there la for I be truly said that the white piece, though
postage stamps, and for itssupport not less jt, changes to all appeu rupee to real negro
than $5,000 per annum would have to be
appropriated. Counting tho pay for nn I
extra clerical force in Washington, sta- i
tionery, etc.. the entire cost of the busi-
ness would bunt least $120,000 for the
year, or I per cent of the face value of the
notes, supposing that they averaged 50
cents. It is more than probable thut the i
fractional notes would rm counterfeited,
and rural postmasters could not bo ex
pected to detect clever imitations by
skilled engravers. The currency would
drive the subsidiary coins out of circula
tion to n largo extent. Its establishment
would multiply the present money order
accounts threefold. Money in that shape
would be transmitted by mail with no so
entity unless snnt in registered letters. In
fact, it would he no sarw in the post llinn
treasury or bank notes. Finally, the post
office department asks: If a fractional cur
rency is wanted, why should not the treas
ury issuo it?
As a substitute for thoplan described the
postoffice department Offers a recommen
dation. If the redemption of stamps with
money at OOStofflCes 1 nuthorixed, there
Is a postal currency ready made. They
might be redeemed nt a reduction equal to
the commissions allowed tosisttnastersnn
sales of stamps. In the United Kingdom
postage Stamps are redeemed. This priv
ilege is limited tostampe in strips. Single
stamps are not redeemed, lest people should
steal them from letters for thu purpose of
exchanging them for money. The stamps
offered for redemption must not bs soiled or
torn, and they are taken only at a discount
of percent. Great BrltaU Issues postal
notea from 1 shilling to 20 shillings, the
diftafsnoS In no ease being less thnn six
pence, but they are mads to answer for re
mittances or intermediate sums byattach
ing stamps to them, which arc redeenml
with the notes. The s.'itno system might he
adopted in this country, though It. would
add to the temptation to steal letters.
This, in the opinion of thfl postoffice de
partment, is ths best solution of the prob
lem thus fnr offered. Postage stamps can
