Énished, and then the workman would fly away for a fresh piece.Each insect cut off a strip averaging ahout- three-eighths of an inch in length and a little under an cighth in width.and nothing could be môre admirabik than the ar- tistio and businessiike way in which they carried on their work, \u2014Hurper's Round.Table, The Hardworking Counterfeiter, While counting a package of money handed in for deposit Receiving \u2018Teller Hurmer of the Nassau bank found a queer looking note.It was a silver certificate of the latest issue, with the flgurc **5\u2019\" in each corner, but with the animated group thut the goverbmeént prints only on $2 silver notes in the center.Close inspec-' tion showed that by the old time process of \u2018\u201csplitting\u2019\u201d\u2019 the paper the perpetrator of the alteration had removed the figure \u2018\u20182\u2019\u2019 from the four corners of the original note, on- both sides, and had substituted the figure.\u2018\u20185.\u2019\u201d\u2019 \u2018This part of the work wae \u2018executed eo dexterously as almost to defy detection.A large \u201cV\u2019' had been insert- ¢' in the oenter of the back with equal skill, The altered hill would never bave escaped detection under the eye of a careful bank officer because of tho great differ- enee between the central pictures on a 82 silver note and on a 85 silver note, but it would undoubtedly deceive 99 out of 100 tradesmen, who are nek apt to carry in iheir minds exact images of the pictures ¢n each denomination of paper money.Cashier Rogers of the bank said he had seen wapy counterfeits of United States notes, but pever before a successful alteration of any one of them.lle raid the per- fon who raisod the $2 nore to a $5:one.10u8t have expended $10 worth of tine op tba work.\u2014New York Times.Endure Hardship.AS à gladiator trained the body, RG must we train the mind toself sacrifice, \u2018to endure all thilzs.\u2019 to méet und nvercome dificulty aud danger.We must take the rough and thorny roads us well as the smooth and pleasant, anc must be hard and disagreeahle, for the mind cannot be kept strong and healthy .in perpetual sunshine only, and the most dangerous of all states is that of prosperity.Most per -will find diff - culties and bardships enough without \u2018seeking them.Let them not repiñe,/but take them as a part of that educational discipline necessary to fit the mind to arrive at its highest good.\u2014New York | noon at Sawyerville.Judgiuent was also rendered i in;
