QUEER MOXEr. Venerable Paper Currency nl Mor aon Gold liecew tho s tional Museum. Among tbe curiosities in the Na tional Museum at Washington is tbe collection of obsolete paper money. A writer describes some of the more striking or these interesting specimens of antique currency, beginning with what Is known as Shepherd's Kouey, which is still in some parts of Mexico. The money in questiou consisted of two bits of paper about tne sue or a uuy cent shinpla'ter. Th- uotes are printed on unite paiier. in black, without any attempt at ornament or any of the usual devices to b..fiw counterieiters. Tbe rotes ar d;tted at Ilacienda Je San Miguel, Batopilas, ant the text upon them i m Spanish. One note is for twenty-five aud tbe other for fifty cents. In the lower corner is printed tbe name Alexander R. Shepherd, well known in Wis city. A card near the notes informs tie curious people who stop to look at them that such Botes are in general circulation in the Batopilas district and are preferred by tbe people ibere to the paper money issued ly the Mexican Government. A very extensive cliction of coins and specimens of money has been placed on exbiblton in tbe museum. A curi ous piece of money is a bit of paste board, about the size of a street-car ticket, ani inaiked with a pencil by the man that issued it The one ex hibited Is for three cents, and was issued ty a business houe in Mexico. This pasteboard mony has been legal ized by the 5-tate of Tamaulipas. Amonz the coins is a Bve-Jollar gold piece colntd bv the Mormons at Salt Lake City in 1-9 This piece was pre sentel ti tl'C Muslim by Mr. Joseph Libbv.of West Washington. It is or namented with a representation of a mitre and an eve. and inscribed with the words ' Uolicess to the Lord." There are also specimens of Mormon paper money issue 1 as late as 1SC5. Many of the Email Mexican coins shown are cut iu two in tte centre. It is the custom of the people in some districts in Mexico, when they watt to make change to cut the coins. A ten-cent piece will be cut in halves, and each half will pass for five cents. The collection is very rich in speci mens of colonial aud continental money or bills. There is one till for forty shillings issued under the authority of the asseiiibly of Pennsylvania." The spelling did not affect the value of the note. The bills issued under the au thority of Congress during the revolu tionary war entitled the bearer to receive the amount of the bill in ' Spanish milled dollars or the value thereof in gold or silver." An old note for nve dollars, issued by the bank of 'Washington January 12, 1311, is among other old relics shown. In an other case is a bond or note which re minds one or tbe later attempts at financiering on the part of champions of the Irish republic It Is a bond is sued at New York, January 1, 1So2, for ten dollars, by Louis Kossuth, pay able "on demand one year after the establishment in fact of tbe indepen dent Hungarian Government." A curious thing, showing bow English j accounts were kept or justified for : many centuries and down to recent j times, is a tally stick displayed in one ' of the cases. This is a lonj stick ; which has been deeply notched. The j method of registering by tallies was ' practiced by the English Court of Exchequer rrom t!:e time of the Xor- , man conquest until 1783. It is the , same system as that now practiced : sometimes by milkmen who keep ac count cf their credit sales by notch ing a stick. In the English system the sum paid to the bank was marked on the side of a willow or hazel stick. The stick was notched by the Cutter of Tallies, and inscribed in Roman characters by the Writer of Tallies. A small notch represented a penny, a larger one a shilling, a still larger one a pound, a Hill larger one one hundred pounds, and so on. V. lieu the stick was piepared it was split in two by the Deputy Clmmberbiin. It was split in such a way that the notches appeared on both halves. One-half of the stick was deposited lu bank, and the other held by the person ikying the money as a receipt. One was called the tally, the other the counter-tally. In 1S3I, after a new system of counts was in troduced, the tally sticks, which bad accumulated In great numbers, were burned in the stoves of the House of Lords. The dry old sticks made an intense heat and set fire to the Parlia ment buildings, which were completely destroyed. The tally stick at the Na tional Museum Is a gift from Mr. A. M. Franks, of the British Museum. It registers the payment of X100.000 in part principal on a loan of 140.000 due Septeni!er 33, ITS'J, and paid o- vemrjer iiO. How Grandfather Hockman Paid His Trusted I'liysiclan s IiilL Many of the old readers of this paper will remember Lr. Uigelow, a noted physician who practiced iu the lower end of this valiey eowe sixty years ago, when ch. ating had n it been thought of or introduced as a vaukee invention. Dr. IJigelvv's practice extended over half the valley, fur he was a physician who understood bis business aud al ways minded his own business, which rendered him imrr.e:ely popular. Among the families :.ttemled by him was the well-known Ileckinan family, grandfather ot the present Heckman's in our valley, and in whose noble breast there lurked no motive of dishonest)'. Dr. liigelow having mode up his mind to leave I enu5ylvauia aud locate else where he beau to call upon those who owed him f or settlement, as be had a babit of letting the honest old farmers have their own time about it. Coming to Father lleckrnan he told him be intended moving away, at which the old gentleman expressed his regret, adding that be ho-d the doctor would make out his bill before moving, so he could lay him. Tn doctor replied ttat his bill was seventy-five dollars. At this the old patriarch rose from bts chair, stized his cane and went, not for the doctor, but up-stairs, presently re turned with a sack which contained about a peck of Silver coin and emptied the jiLglers ou the table with the re mark: "Now, doctor, whatever your bill is just take it out of that pile." 01i, no," said the doctor, "I want you to count it out" "N'o, no," said Heckman, "you count it, doctor; you know best when you have enough." The physician counted out bis seventy five dollars, when the farmer again insisted be should be ture he "had enough. After a minute's change ot conversation, Grandfather lleckrnan again went at Uigelow with: NTow, doctor, it jou haven't got enough, go to the pile there and belpyourself " Center Ilall, (Va.)

The preservation of scaffold ropes Is a matter of great practical importance when scaffoltimg lemains erected for anV COnStderAli'A lima AnuAi.ll. localities where the atmosphere is de structive of hemp fibre. It is suggested that In these cases the ropes should be dipped, when diy, into a bath contain ing twenty grammes of sulphate of cop per per litre of water, and kept in soak in this solution tor four days, afterward being dried. The ropes will thus have absorbed a cer.ain quantity of sulphate f cojper, vhich will preserve them !iom the attacks of animal parasites gd from ret. HOUSEHOUV Apple Pot Pie. rare and cor any kind or quick cooking tart apples. It will require a quart of prepared apples for a family of three or four persons, make a light crust, using for that quantity one cup of sour cream, a teaspoonful or salt and one of soda and two taMespoonfuls of shortening with good beef or pork drips. Ir the milk is sweet then flank the soda with two tablespoonfuls of cream tartar; make a stiff paste like biscuit and roll out; take a sma'l, smooth Iron pot, one that win tint Markpn armies when stewed therein, and grease well on tbe bottom with butter, then put ia the cored apples; cut strips of the crust and place around tbe sides, add in a teacup of cold water, roll out the top cover, make a deep gash in the center aud cross it in the opposite; have it round and fit it on neatly, wetting the edges of the crust; then place it over the Are until it boils up briskly. If you have a good fire the oven will be ready when it begins to boil over the top crust. Here it will cook slowly and be ready in about half an hour for the table. I use a little pot that holds from f ur to six quarts. If right and cooked good it will drop out whole w;th light. creamy crust. Fkesii Pineapple Feeserves. Take nice ripe pineapplt; peel them and plk out the eyes, and put them upon a large dish. Take a silver fork and tear the pineapple apart and put tbe pieces in jars that have hermeti cally sealed tops. Take the juice that came from the fruit and allow one quarter pound of sugar to each quart jar; if not enough juice, add a little water; when tbe sugar has melted, fill the jars. Try and not make more juice than will fill the jars. Tut tbe jars into a large flat-bottom kettle; put a few sticks in tbe bottom to ke p tbe jars from breaking. Pour cold water around the jars. Put on tne glass tops, but not the india rubber pieces. When tbe water boils, take out the jars and seal thrm immediately. This manner of preserving pineapples letaius the flavor and freshness of the fruit, and will keep for several years. Saxon r Cheese Cakes. Warm in a stew pan a pint of good milk, and gradually stir mto it, on the nre, laree large handf uls 5T flour; when the paste is ires from lumps, add a little salt, a piece of butter tbe size of a walnut, a quarter of a pound of grnyese parme san (or any other good cheese), or you may mix your cheese; it must be cut into small slices and not grated; take care that the whole be well incorporat ed, so as to be easily turned out of tbe stewpan; then mix it with three well beaten eggs and keep the paste warm till wanted for serving. Then butter a tin baking dish, put the paste into it and set in the oven. In ten minutes the cake should rise like a souffle and be of a fine yellow color. It should be well set in every part. jon, pn& eano dn jwt H jat ipreisnm jo iniuoodsvsj vosrv 'jnon uj pallor jaijnq jo aaa no m ui JUS uaqa ure2 jamrois Muaoiq oi pau; pun ptoitb eq prnotis npiqaa 'nojuo iiwns osjb 'rnaqi pp pun qres pas jaddad tniit jaaq isuor pjoa ojbj jo emits atnos jra uoscas naqx Jai nmb ptra jnoq rra joj lamtnis tnuai -noD orrj 9J pu aig mojb j jaAO msd ail inj 'dois jo itj3 prre ex ojm no Vonuaj eintqqo jo I aq jo it.9 oqi rod eqi ni maqt 0 ppv fpaqsCM iiqSnojorjj ere Xaqj man J3pni?;03 rn scad aqt mao niu 7,urjpA"q eqi Sail -iaj pan rrea oq, mojj aonbn aqj ipt jjo Suijnod ?sj5) updMais w o;ui read jo nub ?rij xoixo3foaj 0009 y lands tnoojq qijii iix 'Jnoq ntt jo ejOijmil -aajqi oj jBq mojj . e.vg 'pnj -Usqns Ja3at3 20 noo.'.M;qe pus pat -limo eq itn srine aqj 'pjii Jl 'iistp aBD jeoi-ano ur na.o eiBjapom ci 8?jwj pnu ijaA iraq tjiw jo injnoodsn?i pn jnorj paijts jo ;ntd v.

A dodor who has had much experience in treating labors in gas wprks says that persons who have become insensible irom Dreaming illuminating gas will usually revive after the administration of a few drops of acetic ether in water. A Xorwian engineer, Herr W. C. Moeller, finds that reindeer hair and skin have a remarkable buoyancy. For instance, a reindeer skin weighing under two kilograms, and rolled up with tbe bair outward, will support, for ten days, the same weight as an ordinary cork life-belt; When used in the form of a life-belt, it has the additional property ot keeping the boly warm. A suit of reindeer skiu will keep a man from drowning, and Herr Moeller expects such a dress to supersede oilskin. Life belts filled with reindeer hair are sub stitutes for lite-belts of cork. Collaps ing boats and sledges may also be con structed of the hide. The life-saving establishment at Gothenburg has pro cured some of these reindeer articles. FARM KOTKSt With the alTent of spring beguu the work in the garden, and the supply of vegetables and luxury depends upon the fertility of tbe soil and the care bestowed, borne plants are hardy and may be put out early, but nothing ia gained by haste in attempting to force plants that delight In warmth unless the forcing proes be attempted under favorable conditions. It must be kept in view that frosts may come at any time, even as late as June, and it is not safe to put out large crops of tender vegetables before the middle of May. Onions, lettuce, kale, radishes, spinach, peas, early cabbage and early potatoes may take the risk of injury from frost as soon as the ground shall be warm enough to germinate the seed. The onion crop is one that should always go In early, as it thrives best when the season Is not too warm, and not only endures quite a severe frost, but the crop keeps well in winter also. Noth ing can be gained by transplanting egg plants, tomato plants or melons before warm weather, as any slight check given them will be materially felt dur ing the whole growing season. The dwarf peas are best for an early supply, and require no eupport to hold tbe vines eft the ground; but they do not compare wittt the taller kinds in flavor or in quality. Early beets, carrots and parsnips can be put in as soon as the ground shall be in proper condition. a la naiiativthA first vegetable aHftw J of the season, but it caanot be s-cured until a well-grown ana permanent um shall have been established. Lima hpana. melons, tur- M.aUiJ vwvj - nips, squash and egg-planta may be classed as summer crops, aa uiej not planted until the ground is well warmsd and all danger from frost is over. What is mostly required for a garden is a fine soil, not simply that , which is plowed or spaded, but one which isealther harrowed or raked until not a clod can be seen, and the deeper the fine toil tbe better. In using manure that which is thoroughly decomposed is best, but experienced gardeners make use of well rotted com post, assisted by super-phosphate (one bag to a garden one-forth of an acre in extent), and the rows are so laid off as to permit of tbe crops being easily worked by one horse cultivator; but if the hoe be used in preference tbe rows may be closer together. All young vegetables are easily smothered or star ved by grass and weeds, and for that reason the garden must be kept rery clean and we'l cultivated. Weeds must not only be kept down but .kept out, destroying them as soon as they shove their tops out of the ground; tbe same may be said ot grass. By so do ing much labor will be saved later an tbe season. There are many farmers who teem not to realize how much they lose dur ing the year that a little forethought would prevent. They will admit that the way in which they feed a certain lot of pigs, for instance, wastes some of the food, but appear to think that the loss is so little each day that it does not amount to anything. They would be surprised if they should ascertain bow large a sum represents at the end of the year the total of these small losses each day. Providing a better feeding place to save tbe food wasted, aud giving better shelter that will effect a saving in the amount required to keep the pigs gaining, will in many places save a handsome sum during the year. To kill weeds and bushes In the pat turesor along the hedges mow them In July, and let them remain where they fall until tbey are thoroughly dry. By that time, or about a month, the green sprouts trom the old roots will begin to show up through the mulching. Touch fire to it some day when there is not much wind aud let it burn upon the ground. A still, damp day is tte best for the burning, as it burns more slowly, and thus the beat continues longer on tbe green sprouts. O- e cutting and one burning done in this way will kill more than cutting a half dozen times without burning. In practice a mixed ration, made vp of equal parts of straw and good hay, with a little gram added, will be found a feed on which any animal will thrive. If the hay be clover all the better, as this will better meet the deficiency of the straw. Fed iu this way, stock eat the straw as well as the hay, and the digestible material it contains is equally fodder. We know that straw fed alone continuously to the same animal is of little value. Farms in some sections of Pennsyl vania maintain the fertiiityof their soils by applying 100 bushels of slacked lime to the acre once in five years. It is said that fields which have been sub jected to this treatment for the past 100 years are as productive now as when the experiment was first tried. This application depends for Its value much upon the original character ot tbe sou. The following preparation applied to the surface will prevent any rusting on plows or any metal surface. Melt one ounce of resin In a gill of linseed oil, ani when hot mix with two quarts ot Kerosene on. luis can be kept ou band and applied in a moment with a brush or rag to the metal surface ot any tool that is not going to be used for a few days, preventing any rust. and saving much vexation when the time comes to use it again. Mr. Albacgh, of Miami county, Ohio, says that a grower there sowed oats among bis graves every spring to prevent rot. and considered it a annpAaa Mr. Miller (also of the Summit County Horticultural Societvl sower? fimnr about a pound to a square rod In bis vineyard early in the summer and again iaier. io rot uas appeared since this ueaimenu The great flow of milk ot cows ia truly artificial. In a state of nature the cow gives only the nrciasary quant ity, and gives it only the 1 1 c. sary time to sustain the calf. The greater and longer yield ot milk is the result of better feeding, better treatment and longer manipulation of the teats. Hence to Increase the yield of milk leed and milk well. A correspondent from Wisconsin writes: I have a hen that was batched on the loth of May, 1S?G. She laid a Best of eggs and set, and on tbe 25th of October, 18S6, became tke mother of eight nice little chickens. This is a remarkable hen. Sktsimed milk has partically all the value of whole milk on growing pigs. The cream taken off makes it less fat tening, but fat can be generally sup piled in corn or oil meal in cheaper form than In cream. Though the clay eaters of the South are regarded as the lowest class of American humanity, they are not alone in their strange taste, for travelers re port the use of edible earths in all quar ters of the globe. Clay itself is entirely without nutriment, being composed of silica, alumina and water, colored by metallic oxides, and is very injurious to health. In Java it is eaten to produce leanness, and with an equal disregard of consequences slate pencils are con sumed in our own country for tbe same purpose. On the other hand, certain of the edible earths, such as tripoli, which is composed of microscopic and fossilized shells of fresh-water infusoria, aright be beneficial from the phosphates contained.

I have rea l some where a story about a race of ephemeral insects who live but an hour. To those who are born in the early morning the sunrise is tjie time of youth. Iheyaie of old agCwhile his beams are yet gath ering force, and only their dependents live on to midday; while it is another race which sees the sun decline from that which saw him rise. Imagine the sun about to set, and the whole nation of mites gathered under the shadow ot some mushroom (to them ancient as the suu itself) to hear what their wisest philosopher has to say f the gloomy prospect. If I remember aright, he hn.t I4)ld them that, increditable as it may seem there was not only a time in the world's youth when the mushroom itself was young, but the sun iu its early ages was in the eastern, not iu the western sky. Since thence, he explained, the eyes of scientiuc ephemera had followed it, and established from vast experience the great law of nature, that it moved only westward; and he showed that siice it v. as now ncaring the western horizon, science herself pointed the .,i,,a,n ih-ir. it wait about to disap- V,UUV,lli.JU" . - pear forever together with the gieat race or epntmera lor wuuiu i ted. What his hearers thought of this discourse I do not remember, but I have heard that the sun rose again the next morning. Colors and 3IarfciiiT of Animals. By careful selection aided by great practical experience, the skuicu Dreeuer can produce almost any color he pleases, limited nniv hv the ranee of colors and markings natural to other animals of the family to whlcn the species oeiouus on which he is experimenting. Thus all the marking of the wild Feladse can be reproduced in the domestic cat; those of the Columbidas in the pigeon ; but the feline markings cannot be pro duced in the dog, nor the distribution of color seen in the Australian pigeons be implanted in the domestic fowL Setter Van, of Macon, GeorgU, Is well-known as one of the best bird dogi of tha land; but now he has immortal' ized himself. His master was exercisinn him in a field where a drove of cattle was grazing, and Van came to a point in beautiful form. While his master was walking slowly up, enjoying the sight, a trig bull walked out from the drove and advanced upon the motionless dog with great confidence. ' To his as tonishment the dog didn't stir. The bull stopped, looked surprised and took a few more steps. 1 hen be stopped ana looked and again advanced, and so by degrees be reached tbe dog ana Drusnea the extended tail with his nose. Then Van gave evidence of being alive by curlinz tte tail deftly between bis legs. but otherwise remained as motionless as a craven image. Somewhat embo'.d ened by this success, the- bull, appa rency still in doubt, slowly put bis horns under V an's hind legs and care fully lifted him a couple of feet from the ground. Van never flinched. Just then tbe birds arose and his master D.eJ, whereupoa tie do turned on that bun with fury, and chased him until he had fully avenged tbe insult. Lute investigations indicate that the chlorophyll, or rreen coloring substance of the leaves, is most likely to t i:k up metallic matter absorbed by the roots or plants. When Tines have been ma nured with sulphate of copper, most of tbe metal is deposited In the leaves merely a doubtful trace appearing in the juice of the grapes. Tea leaves contain much iron, doubtless due to the ocbreous soil, on which they beet grow. Tha Most HemaraaDle ltuslneas la the Country. Oar citizens have obserred notices in the leading paper, from time to time, of a lit tle barmlers food plant called Mozie, found in South America last year. Its line taste as a beverage, and ability to restore nervous, weakly women tn a fe w days, and help overworked people of both sexes to do two days work in one with less fatigue, hare made the demand so immense that 5,000,000 bottles have been sold in 17 months. What will be the sale in five years at this rate? The new Incanieicent lamp of Mr. Max Xeuthel, which has been patented in Germany, dispenses with a vacuum. The filament consists of a mixture of conductors and non-conductors of elec tricity being composed of magnesia and porcelain clay, saturated with platiu oiridum soils and afterward heated to incandescence in order to reduce the absorbed salts to tbe metallic state. The inventor supposes that the electric spark jnmps from one particle to another, causing a heating action of the non-conducting substances, which are thus brought to incandescence and emit a strong, steady light. The fila ments are to be strengthened, when deemed necessary by a covering of chrome, the melting point cf which is still higher than that of platinum.

The Information coat me bnt lit tle, yet 1 value It at a prodigious figure." A valuable discovery has toen maiie whereby the faded Ink on old parch ments may be so restored as to render the writing perfectly legible. The pro cess consists in moistening tbe paper with water, and then passing over the lines of writing a brush which has been wet in a solution of sulphide of ammo nia. The writing will immediately ap pear quite dark in color, and this color in the case of parchment it will pre serve. Records iwhich were treated in this way In the Germanic Museum in Nuremburg, ten years ago, are still in the same audition as immediately after the application of the process. On pa per, however, the color gradually fades again, but it may be restored at pleas ure by the application of the sulphide The explanation of the action of this substance ia very simple; the iron that enters into the composition of the ink is transformed by the reaction into the black sulphide.
