A Bee.Sting Theory. j It is a fact uot generally known, Bays a correspondent of Heicnoe, that g if one holds his breath, wasps, bees and hornets can be bundled with impunity. The skin becomes sting-proof, ] and holding the iuseet by the feet uud giving her full liberty of action, you can see hor drive her weapon ugniust the impenetrable surface with ft force which lifts her body tit 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 ' years' observation. 1 have taught young ladies with very delicate hands to astonish their Iriends by the performance of this ? . t, and 1 saw one so severely stung as to require the scr vices <?f h physic in: i through laughing at a witty rcimirli of her sister, forge ting that laughing required breath.

Dully Life of I he Two Members of tho Vienna tlrancli of This Great 1<'I n a n<-In 1 Organization. Nathaniel kothsohild is called tho "Alchoniist of Trineeei" because it is his G pleasure to exchange tho ppheiurnl courtesy of impovished magnates traveling in his wake for glittering golil; his brother Adalbert is known in?the same circles as the 'Prince of Jews." The Bothachilds live in a palatial residenc in the Fourth District, the St. (lermain of Vienna, where most of the feudal lords have their pretentious residences. Baron Adelbert is the chief of the Vienna branch of the banking house which spreads over the whole of Europe, with additional anchoring palaces in Frankfort-on-tho Main, "Paris and London, tluis covering the great powers, and forming sovereignties within the States they favor most, the seat of government, so to speak, being in Frankfort, where this modern dynasty originated in the poor little house in Jews' lane. There in the old Free City the business meetings of the Rothschilds are annually held, and there tin* prolits of peace and war, as the case may be, are divided. If ever thcro was an allpowerful illustration of the haekneyed phrase, "In unity is strength," the j house of "Rothschild affords it. In strict adherence to the dying request of the founder of the house, IMaver Auselin, alike celebrated for his shrewdness and his honesty, the brothers and cousins have never dis ugreeii on any vital point ?>l policy, or struck out on individual speculation* The Kinporor of Austria gave patents of nobility to the five sons of Mayer Anscliu in 1815, ami live years Inter uoufurred upon them the title of freiherr or lmrons. That seems to have satisiied their ambition in that direction. It would have been easy to ucipiire a princely or ducal coronet from some king in distress, but the Rothschilds preferred adopting the motto of the noble French house, and said, "We cannot be kings; Rothschilds we will remain." Not withstanding a professed aversion to work, Nathaniel usually spends the early morning hours with Adalbert at his desk in their joint residence. ' There the daily secret dispatches and reports from the home office in Frankfort and the branches in Paris and London and from the political representatives in all the capitals of the world are deciphered and discussed, and decisions are agreed upon while a light breakfast is being served. The brothers on these occasions eonverse in their native tongue, Hebrew, without reserve, for they take care that the lackey waiting upon them is u Christian, and as innocent of the diflirult language used as a new-born babe. Many a speculative genius has aspired to obtain permission to these informal meetings of the two brothers in the guise of a flunkey, after perfecting himself in the vernacular, but these wild schemes never succeeded as far as is known. At 11 o'clock sharp an "unnumbered" cab, u public conveyance of the better sort, rolls into the courtyard of the palace, and n few minutes later Ad-flicrt is 011 the way to hiB the ^i'-" ' 1,1 " "'"^'ve.byildiu^^ financier never uses his own eurriago when going to business, nor does ho engage a carriage by the month. When he is ready to leave the palace a messenger is dispatched to some distant livt-rv for a cab. and in nnb-r t? forestall rivalry the coachman capturing the prize in never paid more than the rate stipulated by ordinance, asido from a modest doucer.r. The reason for these precautionary measures is not quite clear. Contrary to the experience of other Rothschilds, notably Nathan Mayer, of London, who abvuys slept with two loaded pistols at his side, Baron Adalbert's life lias never been threatened and assassination for political reasons is almost an unknown crime in Vienna. At the portals of the oflice building the financie r i^ invariably met by a giant Newfoundland dog, who allows nobody to linger on the steps or sidewalks or in the hall, and who follows him into his private room, where the chief proctor of the firm waits His Lordship to report on the requirements of the day. Baron Rothschild, having previously mapped out the course to he taken in all matters of primary interest, as wo have seen, is quick in disposition of the formalities, and after some twenty minutes an army of messoiig-*x.?, private mail carriers on swift horses and hank collectors in cubs are dispatched in all directions through the business districts of the city, carrying safety or destruction, honor or disgrace in the pockets of their big black portfolios. The capital of the Vienna Rothschilds is estimated at two hundred million Horins in gold, aside from the personal fortunes of the members of the linn. Their tireproof treasury vaults. under the hank building, contain liars jf precious yellow ami white metals piled up man high behind "Swedish mrtains." There are likewise hunIrcds of barrels tilled with coined gold ind silver, ready for shipment to any pari of the world, and rows of safes .-ontaining government bonds, bunk notes and paper money. At the entrance of tho treasure diambor is a peculiarly shaped barrel with hammered iron hoops, gray with igc and hard usago. It is a relic of tlie Irst Rothschild's honesty and good fortune. The Landgrave at the time was compelled by the victorious Napoleon to lee his country and save his hoarded vealtli as host ho could. Tho only uau in whom hy placed entire conlilence was the despised Hobrewbanker, ;>d though warned by his relatives nd other I'rinees, he delivered to him II ho possessed in tho world in tho hape of icady money.

Tradesmen Sticking AdreHl8?ment* on Silver Dollars?Putting "Double Headers** oh Silver Pieces. V r~y TICKERS" are giving the * Government a good deal of J bothqf, They are circular bit3" of paper with advertisements on the face and mucilago on be back. Made... by the lick of the onguo to adhere "to tho reverse of a ilver dollar, one, of these little pinners is just big enough to fit inside of he milled rim. They havo been comng widely into use in tho West nud tho lonth. Every time a merchant reicives a cartwheol dollar in the way of utuiness, ho slaps a sticker upon it, sliich reads, **Tako me back to Buggs, heap furniture house, where you get lie biggest value for cash," or, "Bourn me to Snaggs. the dry goods man. md I will fetch n bargain." This ingcnitis idea is copyrighted by k Columbus wan, who print* mid sup lies the gummed stickers to merchant* it ro much a thousand. HiR circulars listributed broadcast over the country, lUggcsts that shopkeepers had belter nake hnste to avail themselves of thiH lovel method of advertising before a aw ia passed forbidding it. Meanwhile dollars with atiokera on them are lowing intOvthrrTrenaury from all over the United States. Hankers and business liouRca are writing every day to the department begging it to abnto the nuisance, which in the West has already spread alarmingly. Many people are unwilling to accept the Hticker dollars, and so the eireulation ot Uncle Sam's coins is interfered with. Most banks will not take them, because t he Treasury lias issued a notification to the effect that it will not accept or redeem them. It holda tha ground that tljey are defftced and are not legal tender on that account. Tt is true that they might be restored to their original perfection by removing the stickers, but Secretary Carlisle has no appropriation for scraping them off. The r? noil ago employed is of so excellent a quality that twelve hours* soaking does not loosen the paper from the silver. Furthermore, tho covering up ol one side of the coiu renders it greatly more difficult to discover whether tho latter is a counterfeit or not. Chief Drununond, of the Secret Service, showed to your correspondent a specimen of the finest imitation dollar ever struck with a die. It is plated with silver, and few experts could distinguish it from a real one. Tim iroiimiiH uio making of "coins of >riginal designs" by private individuila in thia country. There in no doubt hat the idea ia exceedingly original a well aa dangerous to the unsophistiate<l The "little game" workod with these 'double headers" is aa simple aa it is irolitablo. It is necessary that the iperator shall be provided with two of ho coina?one with two hoads and the thcr with two tails. On finding a isn who ia willing to gamble for dolira, heaayn: "I'll match you first." 'he other fellow lays down his piece on he bar, head up. Seeing that, the windier cliucka up his coin with two cod. Of course ho cannot help wining. Then he puts down the good ollar which he has just won, and his dvcrsary throws up and "matches." Here he has an exactly even ohance. tut on the noxt throw his opponent jya down his coin tail up to be latched. Observing that cirourakance the operator ohuoks up his ibco wiin two tails. It is oasy for im to interchange tho two fako dol* irn offhand. Luck boing even other* iso, he inunt win throe out of four imeH, nn<l a few minutes* play is sure > net a satisfactory profit. ( option was considerably enhanced by a sticker on the reverse advertising a shoo liouKo in Ottumwn, Iowa. Were this practice permitted manufacturers of false money would make a business 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 help the counterfeits to gain circulation. Also, how is anybody to know that tho side of the dollar concealed by st icker has not. been scooped out and tilled up with lead? Fortunately tliero is a legal enactment forbidding the defacement of tho United States money, and that law is to kv onjorced fa, t^tupon "the"currency. Many district attorneys in various parts of tho country have already threatened to prosecute merchants using the stickers, and tho business will be brought to an abrupt close. 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 goiuctiiues stamp their Arm names on coins. Likcwiso they print their business cards on tho backs of 81 or 8'2 bills. Such acts aro strictly forbidden by law. The penalty is 8100 line for each note or coin so marked. A species of coin mutilation not less interesting than that above describe'] v..? :i?.i n 1.-.' cauiivu mo aneniion oi the Secret Service during the punt year. It is thij manufacture of what are technically called "doublo headers," for gambling purposes. For example, a silver dollar in put into a latho and a cutting tool is applied to it in such n manner oh to remove three-fourth of the metal from the back, leaving the milled rim intact. What remains resombles in form a blacking box lid. Next, nnuther dollar ia taken, and the hack of it is h1 iced off in the shape of a thin link. This dink and the fragment like * blacking box lid are then joined neatly together in such a manner an to produco what han the appcaranco of a whole silver dollar. The piece thus composed han no head of Liberty, but two tails?one on each sido. In precisely the same manner silver joins are turned out with two heads, inch pieces are sold by some dealers u so-called "sporting" goods to perioiis who wish to use them for cheatng unsuspicious strangers in bar moms and elsewhere. Dollars thus trcpured fetch $5 each, half dollars $3 aeli.
