Another counterfeit quarter is goiug the rounds and there seems to be a great many of them. So cleverly is the piec made that even when oDe is told of it he m ust compare it with another and good quarters and see the differ ence. The spurious piece bears the date of 1000 aud is one of the best copies of the genuine ever put into circulation. It weighs almost a grain more than the good coin and contains more sil ver. Among the distinguishing marks to be found are the follow ing : The E in the word "We" on the face side is prominent, whereas on the good coin the letter looks more like an F. On the "tail" side ihe eagle's head is defective not curved properly the beak is pointed aud the head is smaller h an ou the genuine. The shield is larger than that of the geuuine coin. The eagle's wings are thiuuor aud point upward more than .the original. The eagle's legs look more like a turkey's legs. The eagle is defective all through, and the work ou the en tire coin is inferior to that of the genuine. The spurious coin is both thinner aud of less diameter than the genuine. A Night of Terror.

The Only Creed. In the last lecture delivered by the Rev. Joseph Cook, in the Park Street Church, Boston, he gave the following summary of his creed : "I believe in the Ten Command ments.audin the nine beatitudes; and in the seven petitions of the Lord's prayer; and in the four 'alls' of the Great commission and in the six 'whatsoevers' of the apostle; aud in 'the strictly self-evident truths in the 'cans' ana 'cannots' of the Iloly Word and in the nature of things; and that it is He who was and is, aud is to come; both exhaustless love and a consuming lire Father, Son and Holy Ghost; one God infinite and unchangeable in every excel lence; of whom the universe is the autograph and the conscience of man the immortal abode; and the character and cross of Christjthe most glorious self-manifestation; our Saviour and Lord to whom be adoration and dominion, world without end. ',' Could a better epitome of the belief of any one have been utter ed or peuned? The light of both worlds may shine on. It will beat- the test. Would that every rtue had such a creed aud by his example and precept lived it What a grand old world Ihis would be u very IJuaven on earth. Norris Silver, North Stratford, N.

Tho story la given out from Wilkesbarre that a woman who has not had tho pleasure of her husband's company as much as she would liko during the even ings, hoaxed suicide in order to have his sweet presence, at least one evening between Sabbaths. It is said that the woman secured a revolver and waited until her husband slammed the door as ho started for his night of revelry somewhere about tho town, when she fired two shots which brought the wayward hubby back into the house in quick order. It took him but a moment to arouse the neighbors who soon filled the house. The smoke of the revolver had gone but the weapon lay near the supposed suicide. When the excitement was at great heat the woman sat up and pointed to the ceiling where she had shot two holes. She told her neighbors that she had fooled her husband in order to keep him at home with her, a promise he had made when she agreed to leave her happy home for him. We hardly know what to think of this woman, likewise the man whom she hoaxed. There would bo less divorces, less murder.less unhappy homes, less disobedient children, less gossip, and more happy homes if husbands were to spend more evenings in the socie ty of the woman they once loved better than any other; but as time rolls on, some of them seem to have lost a little of the thing call ed love, and others receive the at tention which belongs only to those whom they vowed "to love aud protect. ", Is a husband or father worthy of being addressed as "dear husband" or "dear pa lm," who spends some of his evenings in the society of another woman? Public Opinion. Stood Death Off. E. B. Munday, a lawyer of Hen rietta, Tex., once fooled a grave digger. IIo says : "My brother was very low with malaria) fever and jaundice. I persuaded him to try Electric Bitters, and he was soon much better, but con tinued their use until he was wholly cured. I am sure Electric Bitters saved his life." This remedy expels malaria, kills dis ease germs and purifies the blood; aid3 digestion, regulates liver, kidneys and bowels, cure consti patiou, dyspepsia, nervous dis eases, kidney troubles, female complaints; gives perfect health.

When they swear why do they use the words they do?" From a classification of the var ious forms of profane expression used by men at different periods of history, and an examination of their connection with religious words, the writer concludes that profanity is not to be regarded as primarily an expression of emo tion, but to be a survival of the growl of anger in the lower ani mal, which is a serviceable form of reaction in cases of combat. It belongs, therefore, to a primitive form of vocalization, and hence is ancient and deep-seated, being one of several forms of speech preceding articulate language by an indefinite period of time. By a process of selection it chooses such sounds or words which will shock or terrify the opponent. Although originally useful in combat, the occasion of profanity at the present time may be an analogous situation in which our well being is threatened, as in helpless distress or disappoint ment. If, then, the oath is a form of instinctive reaction and even purifying agent, why is it consid ered to have an immortal quality? Professor Patrick says for two reasons : First, because civiliza tion tonds to repress natural at tributes; and, secondly, because of tho unfortunate, but inevitable connection between profanity and the sacred names of religion.

Our Sleeping Hours. "Tell a man that he has slept twenty years and he'll give you a pitying stare," remarked a man with a mania for statistics; "but it's a fact. The man who has reached the ago of 00 has spent one-third of his life, or 20 years, in slumber, and if a man is lucky enough to live until he is 75 he has Rip Van Winkle beaten to a standstill. "The average person sleeps eight hours a day, or exactly one third of his day's life. Again, if you abruptly inform a mau of 00 that he has stowed a herd of cat tle under his belt in his time he will put you down as a third year man at an insane asylum. Fig ures, however,' don't lie, and you can give him a statistical knock out. A healthy man eats, on a conservative average, one pound of moat every day of his life, and in 00 years will devour 21,900 pounds. Allowing 1,000 pounds as the average weight of a beef, you have 22 cattle, a pretty re spectablo herd, I think. There are lots of other surprising things that figures will demonstrate, but I haven't timo to spring 'em just now." 16 Day Excursions to the Sea Shore via Cum berland Yalley R. R.

This is duo to the fact that a large proportion of poultry is kept in the suburbs of cities, towns and villages, the farms not producing more than one-half.

New York World. Too Sweet For Any Use. A Kalamnzoo drayman in trying to unload a cask of sirup mado a misgo of it, and as the package struck tho ground, chimo on, tho bottom went out and $20 worth of sweet was spread out in the sun. A fashionably dressed lady who was attracted to the spot incautiously advanced a step too far, and there was where she put her foot into it. If that had been all, no great harm might have been done, hut it was not all. She grew excited and be gan to flounder, and presently the other foot was in. This increased her excitement, and, finding that neither foot responded to her efforts at locomotion, she uttered a little scream, threw up'hnr arms, lost her balance, toppled over backward and came to rest a full length picture of despair, Bvveetness nnd spoiled silks. She was a visitor in tho place, and seldom had a stranger become so speedily and so unqualifiedly stuck on a locality. It required consider able effort on the part of the by standers, and a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together, before she was induced to retire from the sweetest spot on earth, to quote an old song, and even then she did so "airuptitiously."

The military school of Chapultepec in its actual condition is the fruit of his efforts. Many foreign officers of different nationalities have visit ed that establishment and believe that it ranks among the first in the comprehensiveness and perfection of military instruction there imparted and in tho severe but just discipline to which tho cadets are subjected. Misapplied Ingenuity.
