HYBRID BANK NOTES. One of Them Returns to the Treasury and the Other Is at Large. There was received at the Treasury Department a day or two ago oue of the I most peculiar bank notes ever seen among the millions upon millions of currency notes printed by the Government. It was a S2O note or a $lO note just according to which side was up for’ ' by some remarkable mistake, the oue side I was printed with the figures and devices ■ of a S2O bill, while the other had all the * figures and devices of a ten. The note was returned to the Treasury by the cashier of the First Washin ton National Bank of Jersey city, who sent it with a rather sarcastic note, intimating that hts bank was not going into the 1 freak business, and added that as the ' Treasure had counted that bill for S2O he would trouble them to send him an ordinary S2O note. The affair created p sensation, for no one had ever seen such a wonderful note before. The matter was referred to the Department of Issue from which the note had been sent out to the Jet say City bank. The mistake was promptly coirected and an immediate investigation whs begun. A consultation was held with Gen Meredith, the chief of the Bureau of Eugraving and Printing. He was at first thunderstruck, but his amazement soon gave w iy to intense alarm at the palpable i evidence of some glaring oversight some- 1 where. 4he bureau is considered a mar- ! vel of perfect surveillance and continual 1 check anil counter cheek on every little | detail. This mistake having occurred in ■ one note it must have occur, ed in more, j All bank notes are printed in blocks of I four on one sheet and 250 sheets in one bundle, so that there are always a thousand notes worked off at one printing. The thought occurred to him that possi^ bly the banks might I o flooded with these hybrids, wh ch would mean disgrace and ridicule on his administration. A particularly aggravating feature was the fa't that Mr. Gr.ves, Gen. Meredith’s immediate predecessor, had been in the ■ Treasury when the mistake was reported । and learned all about it. The investig ition was prosecuted with vigor, and yesterday Gen. Meredith found'the cause of the trouble. It seems that the four notes printed on a sheet are not all of one denomination. There are always three of one kind and the fourth of another; thus, in this case, three tens and a twenty. It was an easy task to learn just when this bundle had been printed and by which plate printers. They were examined, and it was developed that one sheet of four notes, after having been printed on one side, had fallen off the bunule to the floor. The assistant who picked it up, by some unfortunate oversight, turned the sheet upside down when she placed it on the bundle. The rest is easily understood. This sheet was printed on the second side, with a 20-face on the reverse of a 10. and one of the three ll’-faces on the reverse of the one 20 of the steel. Hence, there were two “10-20 s in the lot. Thus the m stake was corrected. But no good explanation was offered, or can be offered, why these two bills, passing through a score of hands, eacn one of whom is supposed to examine every bill most carefully, should not have been discovered. Every person in the bureau who handles a note is held responsible in tne strictest way, and it is almost incredible that none of these people should have discovered the mistake. In the Department of Issue are not less than six counters, whose business it has been for years to count the notes before issuing them to the banks. They are considered the most expert counters in the world, and yet all six of i tnese wonderful experts allowed such a I bill to pass through their hand*. No i trace has yet been found of the second I hybrid, so that it must be wandering । around the country. The Treasury Department is anxiously waiting to hear from it. The two notes will be kept in the Treasurer’s office as rare curiosities. The Birds' Drinking Fountain. In June, 1889, I had occasion to be out about a mile or thereabouts from the town of Kentville, and was for some time detained in a strip of clearing about forty rods wide. While there I noticed woodpeckers continually crossing this clearing irom one block of woods to the other. 1 thought nothing of it at first, as these birds are vert common here, but after a constant stream of them had been going and coming lor seme time, I deteimined to go across a small field to a point of i woods, where they all seemed to be going, and see if I could discover the c use, expecting of course, to find an old dry tree containing a couple or more nests of young birds, as I supposed the old ones were carrying food. Upon reaching the hill I looked around for the dry tree but could see none. On further examination I discovered that the woodpeckers were flying to and away from the top of a live white birch tree. Selecting a convenient seat, I waited there for some time to see what was going on. About forty-five feet up this tree the woodpeckers had thickly peiforated the bark a space of about ten inches around the trunk, causing the sap to flow freely. I soon discovered that this was a drinking fount tin, not only ! for the birds that had diligently worked I to bore these holes, but it seemed that I all the small bird in the neighborhood j were coming here to get a share of the I sweet sap Hat was continually flowing from the wounded tree. At intervals, when there were no woodpeckers present, the little flycatchers and warblers would come for a drink as well »s to capture insects that had been a tracted there by the sweet sap. At the time when there were no other birds occupying this drinking fountain, two little humming birds improved the opportunity of quenching i thtir thirst, but darted away upon the I first appearance of the larger birds. ! I have often noticed our common red j squirrel nip the bark of the maple in spring and drink freely of the sap. I have also seen the yellow-bellied sapsucker bore a sing e hole through the bark of a birch tree and drink the s ip. I do not think they return to the same place when they w >nt another drink, but instead they bore a fresh ho e in the neari st suitable tree. These perforated spots on trees have often come to my notice, but I had supposed it was done for insects that might be found in or under the bark, and was not aware that the work was done wholly for the purpose of making a drinking foundation. Bright Spots. Once upon a time, so the story goes, two sailors were shipwrecked upon an ; unknown coast, and wandered around for : many hours w ithout finding any trace of | human habitation. Finally, when upon the verge of despair, one of them caught ; sight of a gallows erected by the roadside, j “Thank goodness, Jim,” he cried, in rapture, “here is a gallows! We are in a civilized country!" The melancholy point to this story is the fact that a gallows, like a jail, does I mark civilization. Savages have no use for either; they visit condign pun- I ishment on their enemies and malefactors or they do not punish them at all. It is a mournful subject for reflection ;

that a portion of the community must ba imprisoned like wild beasts to protect after^lF 00 ** ^ Ut tllere ia a bright side, I here are manv Americans,” says Edward Everett Hale, “who forget or perkUeW ’ that thare are iu ^is tican?' o T aa,i where, pracclass^r Peking, there is no criminal class, and no class of paupers.

In I rance the handsome white owl, with its plumage, is accepted everywhere i as a forerunner of death. In Germany the crow bespeaks good luck, but in ra ” ce it 18 a harbinger of evil. , 0 sa me wi.h the magpie —ill luck if it flies ou your left; if, on the contrary, on the right, you may be assured that the aay wilt be a fortunate one. In England the influence of the appearance of this sau<,y bird upon certain events is governed by the numbers in which he appears, and is thus summed up: One for sorrow. Two for mirth: Three for a wedding, Four for a birth. In the Southern States, among ignorant people, the moaning dove moans to > save a man’s soul. To kill one of these : birds is a sign of death, but more fre- । quently the death of a child. A buzzard or a crow upon the housetop ■ is believed by these same people to lie an I invariable sign of death or disaster; a I vi-it at the door from a rooster, the approaching visit of a friend. Ihe notes of the screeching owl, or shivering owl, are a bad omen of many interpretations; while if the common owl Boots on your right good luck will follow, but bad luck should he take up his position on your left side and hoot therefrom. The reputation of all night birds, great or small, is no letter; but Southern imagination has discovered a remedy for all their spells. It consists of throwing a piece of salt in the fire as soon as the sound is hear I. If a chaffinch perches ou your windowsill, in Great Britain, beware of treachery. Do not kill a wren, or your house will be destroyed. If you have money in your pocket when you hear the cuckoo for the first time, it is a good omen, and you will have your pockets well lined during the year; if, on the contrary, you have no money, cultivate your friends, for you will be in need of their assistance before long. The blackbird which crosses your road brings you good luck. No physician should fail to procure a bed of partridge feathers. A patient laid upon such a bed. no matter what his disease, will never die of it, although he will not necessarily get well. Indian Humor. The Indian has a keen apprecia’ion of humor, and is like a child in his mirthfulness. No orator can see the weak points iu his adversary’s armor, or silence a foolish speaker more quickly, says the North American ll^rieir. Old Shah-bah-skong. the head chief of Mille Lac, brought all his warriors to defeud Fort Ripley in 1862. The Secretary of the Interior an t the Governor and Legislature of Minnesota promised these Indians that for this act of bravery they should have the special care of the Government and never be removed. A few years later a special agent was sent from Washington to ask the Oj bways to.cede their lands and to remove to a country north of Leech Lake. The agent asked my help. I s iid: “I know that country. I have camped cn it. It is the most worthless strip of laud m Minnesota. The Indians are not fools. Don’t attempt this folly. You will surely come to giief. ” He called the Indians iu council and said: ‘‘My red brothers, your great father has heard how you have been wronged. He said: ‘I will send them an houest man.’ He looked m the North, the South, the East, and the West. When he saw me he said: ‘This is the honest man whom I will send to my red ■ children.’ Brothers, look at me! The winds of fifty-five years h've blown over my head and silver'd it over with gray, and in a'l that time I have nevi r done wrong to any man. As your friend, I ask you to sign this treaty.” Old Shah-bah-skoug sprang to his feet and said: “My friend, look at me! The winds of more than fifty winters have blown over mv head and s Ivered it over with gray; but they have not blown my brains aw ,y. ” The council was ended. An Odd Explosion. Miss Jasper, the principal of a New York school, and Mi-s Knox, a teacher, are outspoken iu their denunciation of dealers who sell explosives to children. Eddie Mullane’s father gave him a nickel with w’bich to buy candy, but Eddie bought what his schoolmites called a “bomb.” Eddie showed his treasure to his comrades during recess, and promised to show them how it worked at noon. Before noon, however, there was occassion for Miss Knox to call Eddie up to I receive a reprimand, and almost immedi- : atety there was heard a loud explosion, I followed by a cry from Eddie and a shriek I from bis teacher. The other teachers ‘ rushed into ihe room, and when the smoke of the battle had cleared away the major portion of Eddie’s knickerbockers was missing, and his waist was found to be on tire. Miss Knox had a blackened and burned hand, and the sleeve of her dress was badly singed. Eddie had placed the bomb in the place where mo-t schoolboys carry their tops, vaarb'es and knives, in I the “pistol-pocket,” and this bomb had i exploded the moment Misu Knox began her reprimand. ! Principal Jasper was asked: “Did Miss Knox spank Eddie?” She said: “Well, no; we don’t spank boys; but the teacher and the boy were very close together when the explosion took place." Mean, But True. The boys at a certain college not far from New York have got what they call a "fearful down on Prof. X” Consequently they make his life a howling failure. He was woke up at 1 in the morning the other day by a violent ringing at his bell. Drawing on bis dress ng-gowu, he threw up his window and inquired what was the matter. “Burglars are around, and we wanted to tell you that one of your windows is i open.” j “Which one?” be asked, anxiously. “The one you have got your head stuck out of,” replied the students in chorus.— I Chatter. \ A peculiarity about the blind is that there is seldom one of them who smokes.

Fun in a Photograph Gallery. There are funny incidents in the life ot a photographer,” said a well-known artist. A man came in the other day and looked over all the samples, asking the price of each. “ ‘Do you want a sitting?’ I asked. ‘I don t see nothin’ like what I want,’ be replied. I told him if be would indicate what he wanted that I night arrange it. don’t know as you kin,’ he said, for I don’t see nothin’ here at all like wh it I want.’ I repeated what I had already said. ll® asked me to sit while he told me. ‘You see, it’s like this,’ he began. ‘I had a girl that I loved and we was goin’ to git hitched up. She had her things made up and we was all but re idy when she was taken down sick and kept puny ! like till he died. And what I wanted was ; a pictnie of me seltin’ ou her grave j weepin'.’ ‘ I was touched at the homely story of i grief and told him I could send a man with him to the grave and have the picture taken as he desired. ‘lt’s some distance out,’ he said. ‘lt’s oyer in Michigan and takes two davs to git to it. I reckon it ’ud cost er p’le to send over your fixin's for what I want.’ “I said it would. “ ‘I thought,’ he answered, ‘that mebbe you could rig up a grave here in your shop and I could weep on it and it would do just as well. It's no trouble for me to weep enywher.’ Poor devil! I had a mind to do it, but the Indicrousnes* of the thing kept me from it. As he went out he said he ‘would look around’ and see what he could find.” Getting Ready to Be Shot. Gen. Horace Porter gives the following grim details of sewing names for the death roll, one of the old familiar scenes, “the night before the battle:” “I was goin f through the camp the night before the battle, and I noticed nearly all the men sewing. Ordinarily I would have thought little of seeing a group of soldiers patching up their army clothes. In this case, however, pretty much every one was sewing, and all seemed to be performing the same task of sewing some sort of a piece into the breasts of their coats. “My curiosity was’aroused, and I a^ked । one of the men what it was all about. “ ‘Nothin’ much, sir,’ said the soldier, | saluting, ‘only’ the boys allow that we’re : goin’ to get it hot to-morrow, an’ they are j just sewing their names on their coats, so I that if they go under, as a good many of us will, sir, some one can tell who we are. That’s all, sir.' ” Forty-live Years’ Bondage. Gents: For forty-live years I have been afflicte I with blood poison, liver and rheumatic difficulties, part of the time eouflnml to my bed.

Murder Discovered by a Dream. About a year ago a young man at Fulham, Canada, dreamed that his father, who was absent on a journey, had been murdered, and he saw him lying dead and two man were bending over the body, apparently robbing it of valuables. Upon awakening he went into an adjoining room and related the dream to his brother, saying that if it were true he could find the murderers, for one was a very ugly dwarf, and the other had a terrible scar on one side the head and had lost an ear., He was persuaded to return to rest, when the dream was repeated, and it came to him a third time before morning. Upon failure of the father to return when expected, the son to whom the vision had come set forth to learn his fate. On the second day of his journey he reached a ; locality that he recognized as that of the : dream, and, going to a log cabin in the : neighborhood, he found the two murderers. [ Merely inquiring the distance to the next ! town, and resisting their offers of hospitality, he soon procured help and had the scoundrels arrested. The watch and other valuables of the murdered man were found in their possession, and the despoiled body was unearthed in the garden, leading to the conviction and summary execution of the murderers. Supremely Delightful To the emaciated and debilitated invalid is the sense of returning health and strength produced by Hostetter's Stomach Hitters. When that promoter of vigor is tested by persons iu feeble health, its restorative and vitalizing potency soon evinces itself in improved appetite, digestion and nightly repose, the sole conditions under which strength and nerve quietude are vouchsafed to ihe human system. A gain in flesh of course ensues upon the restoration of digestion and assimilation. As surely as winter follows the fall of the leaf does disease shadow the footsteps of declining strength, when the premature decadence of vitality is not arrested. Marasmus, consumption and other wasting maladies are prompt to fasten upon the enfeebled. Avert disease, therefoie, with this grand enabling tonic, which not only renews tailing strength but mitigates and counteracts the iiitiruiities of age and those of the gentler sex.
