For a long time none of the counterfeits was received, but lately several have been detected among" the bills that have reached the sub-treasury. Two. were found this week. Dispatches from va rlous points In the country have In the past few days reported a flood of bad '.'Windom" bills at various western clt les. A peculiarity of the bad bills is that they always appear to have been a long time In circulation, and are badly wcrn, but the secret service agents have never been able to get any trace of the plates. The worn appearance of the notes is believed to be given to them purposely by the counterfeiter. . . T .la Khnrn nw Nw York Central. ' New5 York, Feb. 7.

One Free Bird That Attract Attention Among Hundreds of Captives. In a big bird store where there are hundreds of birds of m&ny kinda inces santly squawking, chirping and singing there is , one that is free a tiny tit mouse. The window is full of cages containing birds of various sorts, and one side of the store is lined with bird cages stacked up high all along. But there is none that nttracts so much at tention as tbe little tituiou&e llittiug about tbe storo at will. At night it perches on a gas fixture in tho window, and to that it comes back from its vari ous excursions by day. Customers, that come in to buy birds and birdcages and bird need and one thing and another never fail to notice tho titmouse. They may not uotico an other bird there individually, but their attention is sure to be attracted by this ono as it darts about, freo among so many captives, and they are likely to smile at it, they are so pleased with it. And sometimes children, looking in at the windows of tho bird store, come in to tell the clerk that one of the birds has got loose. When it has nothing elso to do, the titmouse sits on its gas pipe perch and perks its head this way and that and looks about. Sometimes it whets its beak on the gas pipe. Every now and then it dashes off tumewhere. If it wants a drink, it perches on the rim of a goldfish globe for home aquariums and stock for them are sold here as well as birds no doubt to tbe great surprise of the goldfishes and certainly to that of the human beholders, who wonder that it doesn't fall in, it has to bend over eo far to reach the water. But it gets it, and when it has taken its fill it flashes back to its perch on the pipe in the window. The titmouse catches spiders and oth er insects, and it feeds in the larger cages when it will. It goes in and out of them between the bars with perfect ease. It is a very little bird, even with its plumage in its natural form. With its feathers pressed against its sides it can get through a very narrow space between the bars of a parrot's cage, for example with ease. There are in the window a number of parrots' cages in a row. The titmouse almost flies through these cages, stopping in each perhaps to eat of the parrots food, but they never molest it. Parrots that would bite at the. finger of a nian' who "should put his hand near enough to the outside of their cage stand back In fright or sheer amazement when the little titmouse dashes in and perches on their feed cup. New York Sun. German Education. The Germans are the most thoroughly educated ceoule in the world. What thev know they know well. A fellow traveler bad taken his de cree of B. A. in the University of Penn sylvania and gone to that of Berlin, where he spent three years. Subse nnentlv traveling in Switzerland, he met a young German whose range and accuracy of knowledge weoe simply be yond that of any man of the same ago he bad ever met. In many walks ana talks the German had absolutely pumped the American drv. while his own store of knowledge had only been touched. "Acb." said the German student one dav. "I shall never get my degree, it is so difficult, it is so much, so hard, so lone! I must have rjatience. I used to see vou at the University of Berlin, and, forgive me the question, how did vou cet into the university?" "Whv. I was admitted on my B. A. from the University of Pennsylvania," redied tbe American. "Mein Gott!" gasped the German scholar. "I knew it must be some way like that." No better comment on the relative standards of knowledge and the thor oughneBS of tbe method by which it is pursued could be asked. Philadelphia Times. A Peculiar Feeling. The sensation of homesickness has been variously described, but never more firauhicallv than by a little girl who, miles away from home and mamma, sat heavv eved and silent at a hotel table. "Aren't vou hungry, dear?" asked her aunt, with whom she was travel ing. "No." "Does your head ache?" "No." "What is the matter?" Tbe child's lip quivered, and she6aid in a tone to criove the heart : "I'm seasick for home. "National Farmer. ' Harbor MUtreaa Fuller.

A hale and hearty traveling man with jlok skin and white hair a condition If complexion which, by tbe way, not A ery traveling man lives to reach was jjuewing his youth with a party of foung and festive drummers. Drinks were going round freely, and when one of. the "boys' turned down bis glass there was considerable remonstrance on the part of his companions at his refus al to have "jnst one more." Tbe white haired man quietly cut the discussion short by saying, "That re minds me." Tbe old drummer flicked tbe ashes from bis cigar and settled back in bis chair. "It was a long time ago," said be, "and it was in the old American House in this city. There were five young men seated in a room, just as we are here tonight, only they were all feel ing 'pretty good,' and there wasn't, any old man around to bore them with a story. But along about midnight one of the party turned down his glass just as my young friend hero has done. He said be bad had enough, and goodness knows he bad. His determination was greeted most hilariously as a good joke. He 6teadily declined,' however, though the wine was brousht and set before him, but the taunts and innuendoes of his comrades finally exasperated him so that ho exclaimed rather petulantly, but half in fun, 'Well, boys, 1 11 30m you once more if you will drink to an early grave forme.' The toast was proposed uproar iously and drank standing. But some- bow after that the fun was not so furi ous. Ihihcs quieted down, lhe men seemed to half realize that to drink to a man's death wasn't such a good joke after all, and one by one they made ex cuses and went off to bed." Here tbe old man paused. "Did the man die?" queried he who bad refused to "have another" with 6ome interest. "No," was the reply. "Ho is the only one of the five now alive to tell tbe tale. " Buffalo News. THE SANCY DIAMOND. This Magnificent Jewel Will Be Owned by Pauline Aator. In tho ordinary course of events Miss Pauline Astor will some day become possessor of tbe most famous and mag nificent diamond owned outside of crown treasure. The gem in question is the world famous Sancy diamond, owned by her father, and were it to appear among the jewels worn at any court function or royal drawing room it would entirely throw into the shade every oth er gem there except the Kohmoor, which tbe queen always wears on state occasions as a "brooch. Tbe Sancy is a stone which is pos sessed of a remarkable history. Weigh ing about 54 carats, it at one time formed part of tbe crown jewels of Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy, and on bis death in battle m Switzer land was found set cither in his helmet or sword hilt." Tho Swiss sold it to the French' king of the day, and from that time forth it became one of tbe crown jewels of France. It disappeared at the time of the revo lution, reappeared at the restoration and at the time of the second revolu tion in. 18 80 passed by purchase into the possession of Anatole Demidoff, the Muscovite millionaire. It was worp for a time by Demidoff's wife, Princess Mathilde Bonaparte, but be took' it from her before their separation and then bequeathed it to his nephew, Paul Demidoff. Tbe latter sold it in the six ties for the sum of. $200,000, a ridicu lously 6mall price, to the late Sir Jamsetjee Jejeehobboy, the Parsee mil lionaire and philanthropist of Bombay. After bis demise his heirs put it once more in the market, and it was pur chased by William Waldorf Astor by private contract, no mention being made of the price paid. Philadelphia Times. Examination Storle. Isis of Oxford tells two good exami nation 6tories. Tbe first is a candidate who in the divinity viva voce was asked to translate a portion of the gospels. As he did not stop at the end of that portion the examiner said to him: "Thank yon, Mr. , that will da We are quite satisfied with your pa per." "Oh, please," was the answer, "do let me go on. X should so like to find out how this story ends." Modern history furnishes the other.' One candi date's paper in the Oxford local exami nation contained the following luminous and surprising passage, "General Wolfe boldly attacked the Arabian knights without waiting for tbe other three corpses to come up. " ' Text Didn't Apply. Mrs. Northside was telling about tbe trouble Mrs. Manchester was having with her maids and was apparently tak ing much pleasure out of her difficulties. " You should not be glad because Mrsi Manchester is in trouble," said Mr. Northside. "You should remember that the Bible 6ays, 'Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth.' " "Oh, that's all right 1" replied Mrs. Northside briskly. "Mrs. Manchester isn't an enemy at all; she is my dearest friend. " Pittsburg Chroniclo Tele graph. ' Accidental Death.

If I tie a string around ray finger, I must recall the purpose of wearing it, which I never can do. If I must always think of rain when I want to carry an umbrella, I have double work. Now, my wife wanted me to re member something today, and she gave me a word to say over to myself, and I've forgotten tbe word. " "Pooh I It's easy enough to remem ber things if you give your mind to it," said another suburbanite. "My wife told me to bo sure to order some now what the mischief was it? Soap? Bluing? Well, that's funny. I thought I would be sure to renuber." He plunged his hanVTinto bis over coat pockets to cover bis chagrin and pulled out of ono a rough bit of scant ling with a memorandum in lead pen cil attached. "Well, I vow 1 My wifo must have stuck that thing in there. Oh, yes, I eoe. It was a load of kindling she want ed me to order. But one could hardly bo expected 'to remember a thing like that." "I wish I could find a reminder cf what I am to get as easy as you did, but my wife doesn't believe in giving a sample to help out a poor memory. Hello, old fellow, bow's that?" He had pulled a little rubber shoe out of his pocket and was regarding it with loving eyes. "Sammy's overshoe, by all that's queer! And here's something inside. Length, five inches.'

Because Ilia Ma Didn't Dare to Leave Her Living- Seat. He was a mere stripling of a lad. He might have been 7 years of age or be might have been 9. Nobody could tell by looking at his face. The only mark of certainty about the youthful counte nance was tbe sure sign that some of his ancestors bad come from old Ire land. Tbe little fellow walked hastily into tbe office of the warrant clerk of Recorder Finnegan's court. He did not notice the four persons standing in line waiting to get affidavits made out against some bothersome relatives, but the y.uth pushed through the crowd and drsencaced the attention of tbe clerk with this odd demand: "I want to make an affidavit against my pa," said be and pushed bis little red bead around the Bide of the desk. "You want what:" queried the clerk. "I want to swear against pa," said the boy again. "What has your pa done?" "He has just been in a prizefight with ma." - '" "Well; why don't your ma swear out the warrant against pa? My boy, you are too young; you won't fill the bill. "My ma can't come, and she wanted me to fix it up for her." "Why could she not come?" asked the clerk, setting interested in the youngster's story. He'could not imag ine why the wife would not be only too willing to swear out the warrant. "My pa and ma they got in tbe fight in tbe kitchen. That is bow it bap pened. My pa made a drive for her, but didn't land, and then my ma she grabbed up tbe rolling pin and floored tbe old man. She is now setting on him, holding him down, and that is why she couldn't como to swear against him. She sent me." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Colonel Kit Chinn.
