says a correspondent of Science, that
if on* holds bis breath, wasps, bees
and hornets can be huudled with impunity.
The skin becomessting-proof,
and. holding the insect by the feet und
giving her full liberty of action, yon
can see hor drive her weapon against
the w?*h a,
which lifts her body Ht every stroke,
but let the smallest quantity of air escape
from the lungs and the sting will
penetrate at once. I have never seen
an exception to this in twenty-live j
years' observation 1 have taught
young ladies with very delicate hands
to astonish their friends l>y the performance
of this fc:.t, and I saw one so

For a theory ill explanation, I ntn led
to believe thai holding the breath

pread alarmingly.
Many people are unwilling to accept
lie sticker dollars, and HO the eireulaion
ot Unelo Ham's coins ia interfered
.villi. Most banks will not take them,
liccause I ho Treasury lias issued a notification
to the effect that it will not sc?

Hot legal tender on that account. 't
is true that they might be restored In
I heir original jierfeotion by removing
I he stickers, but Secretary Carlisle has
lot appropriation fer scraping them ofl'.
The vmeilagii employed is of so excellent
a ipmlity that twelve hours' soaking
does not loosen tho paper from the
silver.
Furthermore, tho covering up ol
one side of the coin renders it greatly
more dillieult to discover whether tho
latter is a counterfeit or not. Chief
1 >r11111111orid, of the Secret Service,
showed t*? your correspondent a
specimen of the finest imitation dollar
ever struck with a die. It is plated
w ith silver, and few erperts could dis
tiiiguish it from a Veal one. Tho deception
was considerably enhanced by
a sticker on the reverse advertising a
Klior lidusii in Ultumwn, Iowa. Were
litis practice permitted manufacturers
ill' falsi; money Mould make a luisiiu.se
of pasting on the backs of their bogus
pieces advertisements bearing the
names of reputable shop keepers. Thus,
inasmuch as a respectable merchant
would not knowingly use bad coins to
publish his business, his credit would
li.dp tlii! counterfeits to gain circulation.
Also, how is anybody to know
that the side of tho dollar concealed by
td ickcr has not. been scooped out and
tilled up w itll lead '?

nt forbidding the defacement of the
United Stutes money, and that law is to

Many district attorneys in
various ]>arts of the country lmvu
a I ready threatened to prosecute merchants
using the stickers, and tho
business will be brought to an abrupt
dose. Oddly enough, a scheme wholly
similar was started a few years ago,
but it was nipped in the bud before it
had a chance to spread. Men sometimes
stamp ilieir Jirni names on coins.
Jiikewise they print their business
cards 011 tlin backs of $1 or #'2 bills.
Such acts are strictly forbidden by
law. ihe penalty is #100 line for eaeli
not e or coin so marked.
A species of coin mutilation not less
interesting than that above describe*]
has excited tho attention of the Secret
Service during the past year. It is tlnj
manufacture of what aio technically
called "double headers," for gambling
purposes. For example, a silver dollar
is put into a bit he ami a cutting tool
is applied to it in such a manner as to
remove three-fourth of the nietul from
the hack, leaving the milled rim intact.
What remains resembles in
form a blacking box li<l. Next,
other dollar is taken, and the back o(
it is sliced off in the shape of a thin
disk. This disk and tim fragment like
a blacking box iid are then joined
neat ly together in such a manner ua to
produce what has the appearance of u
whole silver dollar. The piece thus
composed has no head of Liberty, but
two tails one on each side.
In precisely the same manner silver
poins are turned out with two heads.
Such pieces are sold by some dealers
iu so-called "sporting" goods to persons
who wish to use them for cheating
unsuspicious strangers in bar
rooms and elsewhere. Dollars thus
repured fetch $5each, half dollars $."!
acli. A Chicago man arrested for
iianufacturing them recently was collected
and lined under the law which
o-ohibits the. making of "coins oi
riginal designs" by private individuils
in this country. There is no doubt
hat the idea is exceedingly original
is well as dangerous to the unaophisti...i
i
an n.
Tlit? "little game" worked with those
'double headers" is as simple as it is
rolitahle. It is necessary that the
perator shall he provided with two of
lie coins one with two heads and the
>ther with two tails. On finding a
nan who is willing to gamble for dolors,
he says: "I'll match yon first."
I'lie other fellow lays down his piece on
he bar, head up. Seeing that, the
w indlcr elineks U]> his coin with two
tead. Of course lie cannot help winling.
Then ho puts down the good
loilar which he lias just won, and his
alversary throws np and "matches."
Here he ha* an exactly even chance,
hit 011 the next throw his opponent
ays down his coin tail up to bo
natehod. Observing that eircumtanee
the operator chucks up liin
lieee with two tails. It is easy for
iimi to interchange the two fake dob
urs olVhand. Luck being even otherrise,
he must win three out of four
imcs, and a few minutes* play is sure
o net a satisfactory profit.

. large stone table ground perfectly
nooth is so arranged as to be easily
in ted a little on one side by means ol
screw set beneath it. Around the
hres of the table is a orroore. in which
icrcury may flow and drop from one
?rner into bowls. The table is first
tade perfectly horizontal, and then
n foil is carefully laid orcr it, corer*
ig a greater space than the glass to be
>ated. A strip of glass is placed along
ich of the three sides of tbo foil to
reveut the mercury from flowing off.
ho metal is then ponred from ladles
pou the foil till it is nearly a quarter
( an inch deep, and its tendency to
ow is checked by its nihility for the
a foil, aud the mechanical obstruc>n
of the slips of glass. The plate of
kss, cleaned with especial care, is
itcrously slid on from the open side,
nd its advancing edge is kept in the
icrcury, so that no uir or floating oxle
of tho metal or other impurities
?n get between the glass and tho clean
lrface of the mercury. When exactly
i its place it is held till ono edge of

icrcury has run off. Heavy weights

evcrcd with tl>?? amalgam which m?eres

An Ancient Alligator.
An alligator lias just been killed in
Louisiana that is known to have been
120 years old. In 1773 the great-great*
grandfather of the present owner of j
the plantation on which this alligator
was killed purchased the plantation.
His first work was to rid it of alliga*
tors. IIo raided a family of ulligutors
and killed all but one, who eseaped,
leaving a portion of his tail. This alligator
was seen from time to time and
recognized because part of liis tail was
gone. The alligator was never tamed,
but in a general way received the enro
and protection of each member of tho
family through the four generations.
A visitor to the plantation saw a great
alligator lying on the bank. He raised
his gun, but it required several shots
before the animal was killed. He was y
delighted with the success, when his /
host came up and showed his sorrow - .
at what his guest had done. The uMi- ^
gator was buried on the banks of I ho
stream, tho entire family attending
the obsequies.?New York Observer.
