One of the items of receipts was for the balance due for the defunct Hagerstown bank, making about 4."i per l ent of the total amount of money of the association at the time of the bank's failure. Peter Heeler and Walter Ratliff. the auditing committee, gave their report, which showed the records of the aseocition for the past year to be very complete and found the accounts of the secretary and treasurer to be correct. They commended his methods tf keeping the same. The association appointed William Lewis and Peter Heeler as members of the auditing committee for the coming year. In the discussion it was clearly f-hown that more live slock is being lost by lightning in open fields than foimerly. This is doubtless due to the lessening of the number of individual trees in woodlots and pastures. Had to the greater number and length lif wire fences adjoining the ranges for such animals. Where barbed, or single stranded wire fences are found, the danger has been far greater than woven fences, or with those of perpendicular stay wires. In a measure they convey the electricity to the ground It is believed that vodding of fence posts with wire is t lie best solution to lessening the danger of loss by lightning, as the currents are diverted down and not carried along the fences to deal death to the live stock beside them. A singular feature connected with the death of animals from this source, is that often no mark is visible on the carcass and that death is mostly intiautaneous. Of the buildings destroyed by fire, there seems to have been much less in proportion to last year, owing xo a less number of elect riv al storms the past year. Defective flues account for n large cumber of resident e looses. The president announced the committee on nominations, which consists or Kmnier Mint.

11 CELEBRATED HOAX,

Story of the Fortsas Catalogue and Its Author. CLEVER AND BRAZEN FRAUD. This Ingenious Publication Completily Fooled the Savants and Bibliophiles of Europe and Was th Literary Sensation of Its Day. When P. T. P.arnum cynically remarked that the American people loved to be fooled he might just as well have left out the adjective, for that Americans are much more gullible than natives of other lands eao very readily be called into question by anybody at all familiar with the history of hoaxdom. I suppose that for pure effrontery and ingenious brazenness the Forisas Catalogue stands iu the front rank of deception. Yet this pamphlet was foisted not upon the American public, but upon the savants and bibliophiles of Europe men skilled in the art of books and ia the detection of forgery. So clcveny was this fraud conceived and executed that It deserves to stand in the front rank of j any consideration, however brief, of clever deceptions. The Fortsas Catalogue was published in 1S4(--a small book purporting to be the catalogue of the private library of a certain Count J. N. A. de Fortsas of Binche. in Belgium. Although the book consisted of but fourteen pages and listed only fifty-two titles, it stirred up a veritable teapot tempest among the wise heads. The reason was not far to seek not one of the books mentioned in the catalogue was to be found in any other library or publisher's list! They wtre all absolutely "sole surviving" copies of Intensely interesting works. In the words of the catalogue itself, "the count pitilessly expelled from hi? shelves books for which he had pai.I their weight In gold as soon as he learned that a work up to that time unknown had been mentioned in any catalogue." Each new research of learned investigators into the book lore of antiquity, it was claimed, "had thinned still further the already decimated ranks of the count's sacred battalion." Weary of bIs tremendous and self imposed task of collecting only unique specimens, the count was stated to have died on Sept. 1, 18of, I and bis library was now offered for I sale. Apparently the fraudulent charI acter of such master foolery was quite patent. Yet the high brows "bit" enthusiastically, and there resulted one of the most amusing incidents of the decade. j For Instantly the learned book lovers ! were up in arms, each trying to outdo his rival and secure for himself the most precious of the treasures at the sale which was advertised. Orders poured in from all over Europe on the behalf of scholarly societies, libraries, royal families ami literary epicures. One bookseller came all the way from Amsterdam just to see No. To, the "Corpus Juris Civilis." The Princess de I.igne "for the honor of her family" ordered No. 48 at any price to suppress it on account of certain discreditable family episodes it was supposed to contain. Many other prominent persons and Institutions clamored for a chance at the collection. "Men remembered having seen books that never existed." says William Shepard. "The. foreman ia Casteman's pnnting office at Tourney had distinct recollections of a bogus volume credited to bin press." Unfortunately the advertised sale never came off. On the 0th of August, the day lie fore it was to have begun, the Brussels papers announced that the town of Binche had determined to keep the collection intact by purchasing it with public funds. The amusing part of this statement was that Binche wa? a most insignificant village, quite unable to purchase much of anything, let alone a universally desired library. Still, even that statement was believed. The truth eventually transpired that the Count de Fortsas. his miraculous library and the catalogue were all the creations of an ingenious fellow named Bene Chalons, living In Belgium. Flis catalogue begot a rather extensive literature of its own. which has since been collected and published under the title Documents et Particnlarites His- : toriques sur Ie Comte de Fortsas." A cop. of the original catalogue now , rests in the Congressional library at Washington. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. A Surprise For St. Kilda. The inhabitants of the lonely Isle of St. Kllda were astonished one winter some years ago at the appearance of a great blood red. conical object floatiLg on the wild Atlantic billows to the westward of the isle. With much diffl culty the derelict was brought to shore, and us the St. Kildans had never before seen such a queer looking thing and could make no guess as to Its purpose or place in the scale or created j tbirgs they Indulged iu wild visions j of its valuable nature. But wiien the factor came across .-u his ye-n-'.y visit from the neighboring but d'.stjnt island of Great Britain he identified it as a. great iron buoy which. U subsequently appeared, had broken away from its moorings in New York harbor and drifted in the gulf stream across the Atlantic. It had taken two yearn in the passage.

AMERICAN BOYS AND GIRLS SHOULD BE "SORTED" AND fORCEDTOUARN TRADES

Chicago. Jan 25. Dr . Charles W. Eliot, president of Harvard I'nlversiVy advocated in a public address that American boys and girls be "sorted out" by agents of authority teachers perhaps, and forced by law to study trades assigned to them. Dr. Elliot's uleas caused a sensation at the ban-1 quet of the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education held at the Auditorium. Here is what Dr. Eliot said: "I assert that it is perfectly proper to en act laws which will give the teachers the authority to sort out the boys and girls, assign to each the trade at which he or she seems best adapted, and the law should then compel these children to be trained for these trades. All Men Not Equal. "This sentiment. I see, has already impressed some of you as being undemocratic. I think that it is not so. Democracy is based upon a theory that all men are equal; all men are not equal and never can be; men of practical mind have long set aside that platitude for what it is worth. "And as men are not equal so are children yet less equal. We see how in a single family, with the same heredity, the same environment, the same opportunities, brothers and sisters enter widely divergent etrat of society by natural difference "Thus I find that nature often conECONOMY, IIMD.
