Counterfeiters and their Tricks. Counterfeiting the currency of the country is more extensively carried on than is generAlly supposed. There Isa large number of men, women and chil dren engaged in the business. It has almost become a national industry. Two causes combine to make it so ex tensive-one, the difficulty of capturing counterfeiters, and the other, the small number of men who are specially em ployed in the detection of that class of criminals. Every coin issued by the government has been counterfeited and every issue of legal tenders and almost every issue of national bank notes has been similarly dealt with. There are more counterfeit coins made than coun terfeit notes, and more counterfeits of national banks are put on the mar ket than of legal tenders. The readi ness with which coins can be counter feited and the small capital required to enter into the business Is the cause of the magnitude of such operations. Five or six dollars is enough to set a man up in the business of making spurious coins. Coin counterfeiters direct their attention chiefly to the qarter and half dollar silver pieces, though they by no means confine themselves there to. The outfit for the work consists of a few genuine coins, some antimony, lead, type metal, pulverizell glass, a small galvanic battery, a crude milling machine and a moderate supply of plaster of Paris. With the plaster of Paris they make the moulds-very per feet ones-of the coin, Sometimes in one mould there will be cavities exactiy the size of all the silver coins, with the impiession of one side on one-half of the mould and the other hearing the fac simile of the reverse. The base metal, antimony, lead, type metal and pulverized glass-though tin is some times used-Is melted and potred into the mould. When sufliciently cooled the metal is taken out. The coin has a dingy, rough and a not at all deceiv Ing look. It is smoothed with a knife as far as possible, the rough edges be ing cut off. It Is next run edgewise through a small milling machine, which gererally.conslsts of two small cogged-wheel.. This makes the notches around the edge. All that is now left to give the coin a pretty do cent appearance as genuine Is acoating of silver. This the counterfeiter so cures from genuine coins. The genu Iie coin subjected to the action of the battery, soon looses some of its silver. Before it Is sulliciently dissolved to totally deface it, the coin is taken out. Enough genuine silver is in this way procured from a single coin to plate a dozen counterfelts, and the origin'l looks after the operation, as if It was but little worn, and can readily be passed. This process Is called "sweat ing." The work is very simple. A good .hand at the business can make his moulds of plaster of Paris and be gin turning out spurious pieces all in two or three hours. In counterfeit gold coins the same method is pursued, a genuine gold coin substlt,uted for the silver one in the sweastinir, being the only change. it is much more dificult however, to get a deccentt looking gold counterfeit titan it is one of silver; therefore there is not mnuch dolttg in that line of business. Th'ie use of pih verized glass in t,he compiositioni or counterfeit coilus ia for the purnose of' giving thtem a "ring'' somnttiiing like that possessed by the genuine 'mnetal. They can always be detected, however by their weight,.ntever bteittg as heavy as the genuine. Needleo Work in Frencth CouIiveIn. France, as every one knows, ia pre eminently the land of' fine linent. From a childs pinafore to a cardinal's suri plice, every article of' wearing apparel that linen can be turned iuto ie the ob ject,.of the greatest care and clabora tion ; and few English women quilt French territory without p)rovidintg themselves with choice specimens of French lier'ie. To uinderstanad, how ever, the enormous lab or' bestowed upont that portion of female diress, it is nec essary' to see a Itrosseau in hiand(, and1( to see this it is necessary to enter ai (otn vent. We cnter, then, a large, airy, whaitewashted room with a crucifix over thte mantleplece, and religious mott.oes painted on the walls, it has large windows on each side, and( seldon) anty kind of cutrtaint to keep oil' the dazzling light of midday suammer. Sittinig ont high benches withtout backs are twentty, thirty, fifty girls, as the case may be,of all ages, from four and( a half' to twenu ty-one, busily plying theitr needles. A t each end of the room presides a sister, and her quaint nun's garb is the ontly break in the prevailing moniotony-a large, bare, over-lighted room, rows of little children and young girls in wvhite caps, blue checked dresses and wvhite aprons, who stiteh away silently, al most automatically, while the bright summer hours pass by. As we-enter they rise, and remain standing, w~hile we inspect the work. The sister' takes us from one little neediewoman to an other, proudly exhibiting thte stitches or folds of emnbroidery site has In hand. Tlheir gar'ments are produceed, andh we gaze in wonder, first at the elaborate piece of needlework, anid then at the feeble-lookmtg.workers who had pro duced it. In one instance a visitor and his little girl were of the party, when the coil and the pathetic were com bined, the sister, with Ingentious sim plicity, ofiering for his inspection arti. eles of female apparel generally sup posed mysterious to the other sex; while it was.touching to see the whiist fuil look of' those orphan children children, did we say ? of those living machines-at the hapyy little girl whe had 'for fiye mninutes quitted th( world of sport and sunshine and flow, trs for this deary prison.

AGRICULTURE. 'EPRmis.-Tholarge fruit of the Bell pepper. so much used in fall for pick ling is raised In considerable quanti ties by the gardeners near large mar kets, as a late crop after lettuce, early greens or set onious. The popper seed is sown in a hot bed the 1st of April, and as it is a tropical plant, it needs a good qeal of heat and moisture to start the seeds. I have always had the best success in bringing it up when the bed was mulched with a piece of bagging until the seed began to break ground. ''he plants are usually picked out in a hot bed about April 20, 300 to 300 per sash, and set in the 1eld about the 1st of June, after the early crop of lettuce &c., has been cleared and the land plowed. The pepper requires a good dent of manure; but if the land was well dressed for the early crop, it will need no more, otherwise they may be manured in the drill. The plants are set in rows two and a half feet apart, to allow cultivation by horse, and the plants one foot apart in the row. The after culture consists only in frequent stirring and hoeing through summer. 'T'he crop requires frequent attention at gathering time to pick the pods before they turn, the red ones being less sala ble. Peppers are salted for winter sale In precisely the same way as cucumber and other pickles. The pickling fac tories use large quantities of peppers in fall at a cost of about $1 or $2 per barrel. They are very productive and moder ately prolltablo at these prices. Care is needed when handling peppers not to rub the eye or any other tender par' of the body before washing the hands, as the juice of the pepper is extremely acrid and causes painful irritation when applied to tender spots. Mucz.-'l'here is an outcry against muck, litu t now. Somebody has dis covered that a great deal of this sub stance has no value as a fertilizer, and this Is a key note for a certain class of writers, who, if they are not sensation al are nothing, and now they are try Ing to see who can say the worst things about muck. The simple truth about this whole matter is what every sensi ble man has always known-that the fertilizing qualities of muck diilrer ac cording to its composition. But we never saw any that was worthless never saw any that would not pay for handling where access to it was easy and convenient. Remember that it is not alone the actual fertilizing matter in muck that gives it value, but its ab sorbing qualites as well, by which It can be made to save liquid wealth which would otherwise waste. Of any two or more substances used for this pur pese, it is wise to choose that which has both the power of absorbing and retain ing the liquids and gases of the barn yard and stables, and also has a for' Iliz ing value in itself, and no other sub stance can excel dry muck in these par ticulars. Prof. .Johnson analyzed thir ty-three samples of peat amid muck, and found thie propo.t io'ns of ready a1mmon in to vary from 58 to 1.011 per cent, showing that one deposit may be seven times richer than another. Mr. liar ris, in commenting on this fact, in1 his late work on manures, says that a bed of muck containing three per cent of allmmonia or nitrogen, is at mine of wealth to any farmer, and that one ton of such dry muck contains as much ni trogen as seven tons of straw. lie clinches the question with this strong statement: "A ton of dry muck, on an average, contains at least twice as m.uch p)oteintinl nmmonia as the average of our rlihest stable mianutrd."

It has been said that "the blood is the source of life." It is as truly the source of disease and death. No life, that is te say, no healthy tissue can be generated frorg impure biood, no organ of the body can normally perform its func. tions when supplied with impure blood, The fluid that should carry life and health to every part, earries only weak. noe and disease. Blood is the source of life, only when it Is pure. If it has become diseased, it must be cleansed by proper medication, else every pulsation of the human heart sends a wave ol disease -through the system. To cleanse the blood of' all impurities, use Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, the most effectual alterative, topic, and cathartie remedies yet discovered.

The avenue leading from the Or'ind opera house Is lighted throughout its entire length, and presents a good example o1 street- a lighting. The lamps are placed on posts, precisely like the gas lamps, ex cept that the posts are taller and wider apart. The lamps are inelosed in large i oval glass globes, and beyond this do s not 'lif'er extenally from the gas lamps. As the daylight fades away, there comes, without warnin g, a sudden flash, and every light In the street is burning with an intense white glare. the efl'ect is like daylight, except in in tensity. Every part of the street, the 1 immense traflic in the roadway and the people on the walks, every architect ural detail of the buildings to the top of the roofs, every object however ml nute in the windows, the flowers on the c balconies, are plainly visible and in their natural colors, both real and arti- - ficial, take their true shados. Every sign on wall or omnib,s, the minutest patterns in fabrics and the finest print can plainly be seen. People seated be fore the cafes read their papers by the aid of lights on the opposite side of the way, and yet the most delicate com plexions and softest tints in fabrics do not suffer in the white glare of the lamps. Every stone in the road is plainly visible, and the horses move swiftly along as if confident of their footing. Such Illumination Is the per fection of street lighting. Neighbor ing streets, though more brilliantly lighted with gas than any American street, appear dark and gloomy by con trast. Besides the Avenue 1'Opera there are a number of theatres, halls and public buildings and shops, lighted within or without, and in each case the electric light has superseded gas or it is used where gas would be too expensive. The appearance of the lamps used in Paris is peculiar. The entire globe ap pears to be filled with light-no flame or point being visible.. The color is in tense white, occasionally changing to blue or deep yellow for an instant. In some few cases the light Is naked, or Is placed in clear glass lamps. In what ever manner it is used it is impossible to look at the light for more than a few seconds. This intensity, and the oc casional flickering of the light, are raised as objections to the electric light. On the othor hand, why should any one look at the lamps any more than at the sun, and when not looking directly at the light the flickering is hardly no ticeable. In halls or shops the lamps may be placed next the ceilings, or be hind screens, so that only the reflected light can be seen, and out-of-doors the lamps may be placed overhead out of the range of the eyes. The flickering comes from a variety of causes, and it is doubtful if it can ever be wholly overcome. The points to secure are a steady motive power (a turbine being best), and good carbons in the lamps. Another object ion has been founmd in the deep shadows east by opaque ob Jects when lighted by electricity. Careful observations both here and in Paris, in halls, shops and streets, failed to show thmac this is a serious objection where two or more lamps are used.
