THE GREEX-COATEI) .MAN. Many a long year three or font regiments of liu>si:in .-oldicrs were encamped on a flat sandy plain upon the shore of the^Culf of Finland, not far from a new town which had just been built at the mouth of the river Neva, ami called J?t. Petersburg. The sun was beginning to set. and the men. having finished their marching and exercising, were having a rest after the day's work, or beginning to get ready their supper. Most of them were strong and sturdy fellows who looked a> if they could stand a good deal of hard work, and hard fighting, too. before giving in. But they certainly did not wear a very soldierlike appearance, for all that: they moved heavily and clumsily, and handled their muskets as if tlicy had been more used ' to plows and spades than weapons of war. Awkward though tlicv seemed, howver, these very men were to be able, only a few years later, to give King Charles, of Sweden (who was then thought to be the best soldier alive), nueh a beating that neither he nor his army ever meddled with Russia again. But as they were now. they made a poor figure enough; and so. no doubt, thought a big red-haired man in Russian uniform, who. with his arms folded on his broad chest, and a scornful smile on his face, was watching half a dozen of them light a fire. " Pretty fellows you are to call yourselves soldiers !*' cried he, in broken Russian, "when you can hardly tell the butt of a enn from its muzzle, and don't even know how to kindle :i tire yet. We manage tilings better in Silesia, where J was born and bred.'' "Well, if your country is so much better than ours, why didn't you stay there V asked one of the Russian recruits, sulkily. ' Because I was wanted here to make you Russian lubbers into soldiers." answered the Silcsian. fiercely; "and a mighty hard job it is." The recruit muttered something between his teeth, but did not venture to make any direct reply: f<?r this Silesian. Michael Kratseh, was a noted Iniily. and the strongest man in the regiment, and any one who tried to argue with him generally ended by getting a broken head for his pains. While Kratseh was ^t ill fuming at finding no one to vent his anger upon, a little drummer-boy. coming past with a can of water much too heavy for his thin arms, stumbled against him by accident. Like lightning big Michael faced round and dealt the poor little fellow a kick which -sent him to the ground, screaming with pain, and caused him to spill every drop of the precious water that had cost so much trouble to bring. An angry murmur ran through the ' ( find flu. g.UUJ/ v/1 - turned savagely upon them. " What are you growling at, you dogs? If you have anything to say to me, say it out. You ought to know by this time. I should think, that one honest Silesian ivV is a match for half a dozen such as you!" "Are you quite sure of that:" asked a deep voice behind him. Every one looked round with a start, for nobody had noticed a soldier standing near the group, and listening to the r"> - Gile>ian s boastful talk with a smile of quiet amusement. The new-comer picked up the little drummer-boy very tenderly, refilled his can from a bucket that stood near, and sent him away rejoicing. Then lie came slowly up to the tall Silesian and looked him full iir the face. Kratsch eyed the stranger from head to foot, and did not altogether like the look of him. His dress was nothing very grand, to be sure being simply the plain green coat of a Russian private, so soiled and threadbare that an old-clothes man would scarcely have taken it as a ?ift. But he was as tail as Big Michael himself. ?i--1-- i-2~ i . .....l i Willie 11IS ijijii?> aim i?i,uhi > ? ill ." ! mn<lc such a siio\v of strength that most people would have thought it much better to shake hands with him than to light him. ' So!" said the green-coated man. cjuietlv. "one Silcsian is a match for half a dozen Russians, eh Well. I can see that he's their match at bragging, anyhow!*' The Russians chuckled at this unex. peeted hit, and*one of them laughed outright. Kratsch's face flushed purple with rage, and for a moment he seemed just about to fly at the speaker's throat. But there was something in the stranger's bearing, and in the calm, steadfast glance of his keen black eye. which cowed even the fierce soldier, who drew back with a sullen growl. " Well," said Grcencoat. quietly, "we Russians have a saying that corn doesn't grow by talking. If you are a match, as you say, for any half dozen of us. let us see what you can do.' inn (liruw t1i:it stone farther &? * than I can.'" asked tin* Silesian. pointing to 11 heavy stone at his feet. ' I can better answer that when I have seen vo l throw it,'' replied (.Ireencoat, as coolly as ever. Michael Kratsch threw o!T his coat, and baring an arm as thick as an ordinary man's knee, hurled the stone seven good yards awav. The Unknown threw, in his turn, so carelessly that lie seemed hardly to exert himseif at a!!, yet tiie stone fell more than a foot beyond Kratsch's mark. The Ku-:siaii> raised a-liout of triumph, and Michael's face grew black as midn'frht. " Ar* you as nimble w ith your feet as with your hands growled he, through his set teeth. "Try," answered Grcencoat, simply. Kratsch pointed to a broad ditch a little behind them, and taking a short ^ run shot through the air like an arrow. The ditch was fully fifteen feet wide from it. bank to !>:uik. yet lie alighted several 'it inches beyond it. ' Pretty fair," said the Unknown, smiling; "but I think I can match it." And so he did. for his leap overpassed r,. Kratsch's by six inches at least. At the sight of the heavy Kus?ian faces grinning from e:ir to ear over his discomliture the / \ Silesian's eyes flashed fire. I * You ha ven't done with me yet." lie j roared, " smart though you think yotir! self. Dare you wrestle a fall with me?"' Without a word the stranger threw off his coat and stepped forward. It was a grand and terrible sight to jv seethe two giants strain tluir mighty gi limbs and seize each other with their ? _iron arras, both faces growing suddenly - . h rd and stern as they grappled. Every mm among the lookers-on held his * b.'eath as that great struggle began. Thrice did the !Mlesjan maKe a tremendous effort to throw his enemy with a strength that seemed able tear up an oak by the roots. But the Russian, though ^aaken, stubbornly kept Iris feet, until *ratsch paused, breathless and utterly Zr&\ spent. Then the watching eyes all round saw the stranger's arms tighten suddenly, and | Big Michael's huge broad back bend I slowly in. Furiously he struggled against j the overmastering clutch, but he had no ! more chance than an ox in the coils of a j boa. At last the Unknown lifted him I fairly off his feet, and hurled him back| -ward with such force that he fell withal I - dull crash against a large stone l?el him. and lay stunned and motionless, Just then was heard a cry of "T1 he is! there he is!" and several rii dressed men, running up to the s bowed reverently to the green-co; soldier.

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEITS ONLY DETECTED BY THE HALF NOTE IN THE COIN'S SING. | .1 Treasury Clerk'* Trained Sense of Tearing?A Paper irioncy ('muilorfeit Tlade willi l'cn mill Ink. A Washington letter to the New York World says : There is a clerk in the NewYork sub-treasury who has a highly trained sense of hearing. Willi it lie has been enabled to detect one of the most dangerous counterfeits ever made in this country. According to an official of the secret service here this clerk while engaged in counting silver coin tossed each one upon a table in front of him. Ordinarily a counterfeit coin rings lower than the genuine. Each coin of (lie clerk's count rang just right for some time, when he heard a note from a falling coin one-half a note higher than the genuine ring. Had his ear been deceived? lie tested the coin again and it rang out the half a note higher than it should. This expert clerk now was convinced there was something wrong about the coin. He picked up a bottle of acid and applied that test. T1 iu coin appeared genuine, for its surface stood the acid test. The coin was weighed. Its weight was correct. I lis -'- -i :'.i. *.'im./? t;in i\ lwiu aminc." Tlic clerk was about to pass the coin on. but lie ran# it again, and the persistent half note too high made him ])ause. IU- took out a knife and cut deeply into the coin. Now he again employed the acid. It was poured into the cut and at once revealed a center of base metal. The triumphant clerk now had the coin cut open, revealing the most successful counterfeit coin ever made in this country. The center is full of base metal, compressed by heavy pressure until it has nearly the density of silver. This center is then heavily plated with thirty cents worth of silver. This platng is so thick that it readily resists the acid. In appearance, weight and rim it is so close to the genuine that no one but llie experts in the New York sub-treasury have discovered them. Not a.single bank has reported anything of this counterfeit. It is fully six months since .Ibis counterfeit was discovered, and yet there is not the slightest clew where it originated o: how large a quantity has been forced into general circulation. Chief Brooks, of the secret service, said to-day about this coin: ' It is the best counterfeit ever made and the one that is giving us the most trouble." Mr. Brooks then went oil to relate how I this coin baffled an inventor who claimed j to have a scale that would prove to lie an | infallible detector of counterfeit coins, lie had been before the finance committees of Congress, and had persuaded them to approve the purchase of these scales in great numbers to be used by the postmasters throughout the country. The scale was in the shape of a long,"inclined plane, with a weight at one end. and in the upper part of the plane were slits for coins of various denominations. A genuine coin inserted in the slit made for it would bring up the weight. The average counterfeit coin is light and would be easily detected by the scale, but the inventor claimed his scale was infallible. He obtained indorsements from the treasurer and then came to the chief of the secret service. lie told him to bring out his best counterfeits and lie would show him how he could certainly expose their character. Mr. Brooks brought out the counterfeit of the Bland silver dollar. The inventor put it on the scale and the weight flew up promptly. The inventor said: "I did not call for a genuine coin. I want your best counterfeit." "That is a counterfeit, and the best." The inventor turned very red. Then he said: '* Well. I guess we will have to throw in a bottle of acid with the scale."' "Try it with the acid," said Mr. Brooks. j This produced nothing. Then the ( ready inventor said: Well. I will add ! an oyster-knife to the bottle of acid." I But this was making the infallible j detector too complicated, and so the job j of selling several hundred thousands of ; these scales to the government fell to the j ground. : This coin counterfeit is the only one j that is seriously troubling the treasury | people. There is very little d ing in the counterfeiting of the paper currency j that appears upon the surface. | One counterfeiter of the paper issues of the government is very successful, how; ever, as he has been at work for over a 1 ' ?. 1 l.?

A Wonderful Theory that Oancenu tlio Welfare, Happiness and Life of Everyone. In his quiet and cozy library at tho close of n busy day sat a gentleman and his wife, he absorbed in a new book and she in the newsnanr>r. Ouicklv clancinsr toward her hus band, she aske<!, at a certain point in the article, i " John, what is the germ theory?" ' The germ theory?well?yes; just look in the encvclo; e lia under ' Germ,' that will ex plain itVo much bettor than I can.'.' Accordingly his wife opened th? book at ; the. wor.l named, and read: Germ Theory of Dis as2?a theory advanced by the ablest j and best investigators and scientists of tho | tinu s. It suppose- the surface of tho o.irth, tho air ani water to be inhabited to a gr< ater 1 or It .-s extent with a peculiar growth of tho lowest form of fun?i?commonly termed j bacter'a. whose power of reproduction, under ; fav. >rablo conditions, is so great that a, single germ will increase to fifteen million in , twi-nty-four hours'time, and unchecked in I its increase would grow to a mass of eight | liundred tons in three days1 time, if space a-.d j f<n>il Im fiipni?Vi?1 Thorn is no condit on : un lor which it can be said to be absent, un- j l'.-.-s it be from flro or air filtered through 1 cotton batting in numerous layers. A single l drop of water containing a germ, jut into water boi'rd, filtered and thus freed from bait -t in, will prow murky in a day or two from the development of new germs. When it is consider? 1 that it requires about forty billion to weigh one grain, some remote i lea can be had of the capacity of norm reproduction. Professor John Tyndall, in a Into work, elaborately treats of the influence ?.f germs in the propagation of disease and <harges upon this cause, the incept ou and development of very many of the ailments most injurious to man. Professor Pasteur, an eminent French savant, has carried his original and beautiful experiments so far, anil l'rotn them deduced such practical results as very greatly to diminish the number of i ca es of ant hrax among sheep and chicken cholera among fowls,? proving his theory that these are essentially and actually germ disea>es. These germs are carried into the sy-tetn through the lungs, the stomach and possibly the skin, but through the lungs < hielly. Once in the system, they begin to develop, poisoning the blood, invading the norvo centers, disturbing the functional activity of the great organs of the body and inducing a general impairment of the vital processes. They arc the cause of fevers, rheumatism, Bnght's disease of the kidneys, I neuiuonia, blood poisoning, liver disee.se, diphtheria and many other ailments. Lately I'rofe sor Koch, a famous German physician, has proved that consumption of the lungs is due to this cause?the presence of a peculiar germ. \\ hen the circulation is bounding, the in rves elast'c and the system all aglow with li.'e aiul energy, the germs seem to develop poorly, if at all. But with weakened nerves, pO' >r d go-tion or mal-assimilation^/ food or a lowering of vitality from any caui, a chango ensues, and in this impoverished and weakened liuid the germ finds a genial home and develops until symptoms of disease are distinctly manifested. This is seen in the everyday experience of all. The healthy man resists the influences around him and does not take < ul I, while those whose systems have become weak from any cause readily contiajt colds. This is 0:1 the >a no principle as the germ theory. The germs attack any weakened spot iu the body, and fixing themselves upon it, 1 egiu their propagation. It is plain therefore that it is only by fortifying the weak portions of the body that the germs of dis<aso c an be resisted and driven from the system. But this has proved almost an impossibility heretofore, and it has been the .-tudy of phys'cians for y< ars how best to ace >iiij<iish it. Within the past few ye irs, however, a preparation has been attracting great a te.ition, no!; only throughout the entire land, but among tho medical profession and . cieuti ts generally, which is based upon this ihci-ry, and it may safely be said, nc remedy 1 a; evi r boon found which can so successfully place the system in a condition to resist the germs of disease as Warner's Safe Cure. This j.rt tbis umiuest'onably the best and most illlrittfit that has ever been discovered for this p .rp se. and? John, say, John! does the encyclopedia u i > ?-t iwo ?t ai uci a ouiu v^urcr Ir-h mld not wonder, dear; it's a grand r in- dy, and that pamphlet we received the o.her i.ay stated that Dr. Gunn, of the United :-'1aUM Medical c ol'eije, indorsed it.
