POPULAR SCIENCE.
Fisn as Food.— i'liose nations who
eat fish with one meal, each day, are
undoubtedly the most active in intellect,
and the most capable of brain labor
without exhaustion or fatigue. Not
only is such phoflphatic food conducive
to the activity of the brain, but it pro
motes fecundity and increases the abil
ity to endure cold, fatigue, etc., and,
while the facilities for obtaining it are
constantly increasing, it would be well
for the rising generation were they
made to partake of and realize it as sec
ond only in many respects to the staff
of life; and the husband and father who
occasionally takes half a day from his le
gitimate business to fill his basket with
delicious fish, should not be considered
as a mere “sportsman,” but a “good
provider” for his family of those things
which are of vital utility.
Street Sprinkling, —An improved
method of sprinkling streets has been
patented in England, by means of which
almost five-sixths of the expense of wa
tering may be saved. An experiment
made in Hyde park warrants the conclu •
sion that, with the nevmanent system
referred to, the services of one man
would be amply sufficient for laying the
dust over the whole of the drives and
rides in that park—a task which at pres
ent engages twenty men with as many
horses and cart's. It is to be hoped,
however, that before long deliquescent
salt"! will be employed lor this purpose
rather than water. The use of water in
summer hastens the decay of organic
matter, and thus is objectionable from a
sanitary point of view. Deliquescent
salts will not only lay the dust, but will
also disinfect the streets by checking
decomposition.
HEAiiTHFTTii Dwellings. —Among the
indispensable requisites ot a healthful
dwelling are, that it shall be absolutely
freo from damp ; because a damp house
is a most potent, and active, and ever
present cause of disease, especially of
rheumatism, neuralgia, colds, coughs,
consumptions and such like. The site,
therefore, if not naturally dry, must be
rendered so by means of asphalt or ce
ment, throughout the foundation, and
tlio roof, and gutters, and drainage must
be perfect. All the house-drains should
terminate outside the house on an open
grid or trap ; that is, they should bo
cut off from the street drain, and they
should be ventilated by having a pipe
run up from every soil-pipe and
every bend in the house. And sec
ond, that the house shall be so placed
that the direct rays of the sun shall
have free admission into the living ap
artments ; because the sun’s rays im
part a healthy and invigorating quality
to the air, and stimulate the vitality of
human beings as they do those of plants,
and without sunlight human beings, as
well as plants, would sicken and die.
The aspect, therefore, should be south
east.
Utilizing the Magneto-Electrio
Light. — A citizen of St. Petersburg,
Russia, is said to have overcome the
difficulties in the way of applying the
magneto-electric light to the purposes
•of general illumination. He has con
structed a machine, rotated by a three
horse power engine, which, he declares,
can keep several hundred lamps going,
the lights being regulated by a simple
contrivance. Hitherto, the want of
steadiness has been objectionable, and
was caused by its dependence on the
uniform proximity of two carbon points,
which, when heated by the current and
to tho air, were rapidly -burnt
J away. In this invention, only one piece
of charcoal is necessary. This is con
nected with the electro-magnetic ma
chine, and enclosed in a glass tube from
■extracted. The tube is
gas which will not com
arcoal at a high temper
etieally sealed. On the
et in motion the char-
and equally

at the bottom of a mine,
bottom of a river, as
fcreet lamp, and at about
cost of coal gas. The

Cochran of the Alabama

conducive to the spread of disease rather

says, after watching the effects of its

NEW GRANGE SONG.
It is an ancient farmer,
And he is one of three;
He said unto the middle man,
“ We have no need of thee.
“ This man here makes his cloth,
And sells it unto me ;
He huys my wheat, and thus we save
The slice that went to thee.”
“ Your eyes too dim are growing;
Get spectacles,” said he,
“ That you may see some higher grade
Of wheat than number three.”
The cunning middle man
Laughed out, “ Ha-ha ! te-he!
Upon your back I’ll stand and fill
My pockets from tne tree!”
Then turned that ancient farmer
The middle man about.
And, with some words of kind advice,
He gently kicked him out.
COUNTERFEIT NOTES.
Home Incidents lie the History ot the
Bank of England.
“ How is it,” asks some person in the
query-column of a Sunday paper, “that
the bank of England notes are never
counterfeited ? In comparison with our
gorgeous bills, they are simplicity it
self. ” The question and statement both
imply misapprehension. Bank of En
gland notes are counterfeited—have
been counterfeited ever since they be
gan to be used—and in the numerical
proportion of the two are as often suc
cessfully counterfeited as our own bank
notes. In spite of every precaution
adopted by the bank of England—of
the manufacture of its own paper with
in the -walls of the great building ; of
the printing, water-lining, numbering,
marking, registering, signing and coun
tersigning under the vigilant eyes of ev
er-present officials; in spite of the most
perfect machinery, peculiar ink, pre
cise cutting, methodical adjustment of
parts of every note to its whole, letter
ing. private indenting, stamping and im
pressing, the public is continually de
frauded by counterfeits. Nothing ’shows
this more certainly than the common
English custom, well known, of the
holder of a bank note indorsing his
name on its back. As to the simplicity
of the stiff bank of England notes wh ii
compared with pur flexible bank-bills,
I submit that the question admits of
two opinions. I class the former with
the lumbering wheels of English vehi
cles, the ponderous carriages of English
railways; the cramped accommodations
of English river and channel steam
boats, the cumbrous make of English
harness,the droning responses of English
parish clerks and the terrible dullness
of English sermons.
The day on which a forged note was
first presented at the bank of England
forms on era in its history. It was in
1758, and from that day until now, du
ring this period of 115 years, there has
passed no decade in which more than
£30,000 have not been refused payment
at the bank on the plea of forgery.
Sometimes the amount greatly exceeds
this. In the first ten years of the pres
ent ceutury it rose to £101,661, and from
1850 to 1860 £78,440 were stamped
“forged” at the bank counter. In fact,
the losses occurring to this institution
from forged notes are, and always have
been, commensurate with the greatness
of its transactions. Some of the more
curious of these forgeries are perhaps
worth narrating,
John Mathison was a man of great
mechanical capacity, who, becoming ac
quainted with an engraver, unhappily
acquired that art which ultimately
proved his ruin. A yet more dangerous
qualification was his of imitating sig
natures with inconceivable accuracy.
Tempted by the hope of sudden wealth,
his first forgeries were the notes of a
country bank. Scorning, however, to
confine his talents within so narrow
bounds, he came up to London, and in
less than one month had engraved,
fabricated, forged, printed and nego
tiated several £2O notes of the bank of
England. When he had made a suffi
cient number, he traveled from one end
of the kingdom to the other, disposing
of them. Having been in the habit of
procuring notes from the bank, the
more accurately to copy them, he
chanced to be there when a clerk from
the excise office paid in 7,000 guineas
in gold, one of which was scrupled.
Mathison, from a distance, said it was a
good one. “Then,” said the bank
clerk on the trial, “I recollecte i him.”
The frequent visits of Mathison, who
was very incautious, together with
other circumstances, created a suspicion
that he might be connected with forged
notes that were being continually pre
sented. One day he was detained,
taken to the bank parlor and confronted
with the directors. To every question
put to him he had but a solitary an
swer :
“ I decline to reply. I know not how
I came into this world, nor how I shall
go out of it.”
Sir John Fielding then read a des
cription of his (Mathison’s) appearance
from a country newspaper, when the
fellow broke down immediately and
confessed. He offered to explain the
secret of his discovery of the water
mark, provided his life was spared; but
his proposal was rejected, and he paid
the penalty of his crime.
Some nine years ago, Solomon Bacon,
a well-know merchant in London, re
ceived a letter from his correspondent
in Hamburg, which grieved and trou
bled him. It stated that the writer had
been defrauded by his nephew, son of a
widowe I sister, out of £IO,OOO, and
had fled to London with the money.
Them Was a reluctauce to make the
matter public, and Mr. Bacon was de
sired to keep silence; “ but,” the letter
went on to say, “if you invite John to
dinner, and when alone tax him with
the crime, he might, perhaps, refund
the money. Should he do so, you may
give him £500.” The ijondon merchant
found the young German, took him
home, and when the ladies had with
drawn from the dinner table, he ac
quainted his visitor with his knowledge
of the fraud. Alarm was depicted on
the countenance of his guest. “You
will not make this public, Mr. Bacon ?”
he asked.
“Not if you return me the money
now and here.;’
“But I lost £I,OOO last night at
Crock ford’s, and have not the power.”
“ Well,” said the merchant, “return
me then £9,000, and, though Ia little ex
ceed my instructions, I will neverthe
less give you back £500.”
“My uncle is very good,” remarked
the young man, and he forthwith han
ded "from his pocket-book nine £I,OOO
notes to his host.”
“I cannot change one of these,”
said Mr. Bacon; “will not my check
do as well ?”
“ Quite,” replied the German ; and,
havipg received the £SOO check, hastily
The following notice appeared in the
Times, of August, 1868:
“ On the 17th inst., £lO were paid in
to the bank, for which the clerks, as
usual, gave a ticket to receive a bank
note of equal value. This ticket ought
to have been carried immediate’y to
the cashier, instead of which, the bear
er took ic away, curiously added an 0
to the original sum, and presented to
the cashier a note of £IOO. In the even
ing the clerks found a deficiency in the
accounts ; and on examining the tickets
of the day, not only that but two others
were discovered to have been obtained
in the same manner. In the one the
figure 1 was altered to a 4, and in an
other to 5, bv which the artist received
near £1,000.”
During the hurry attendant upon a
proclamation made in front of the Roy
al exchange last winter when the gor
geous costume of the herald, and the
caparisons of the he rses, and the proud
bearing of the garter-at-arms, and the
sound of the martial music, and the re
ports of the tower artillery, and the
noise of trumpets, arrested attention,
fourteen forged notes of £SO each were
presented at the office and cash paid for
them. Of course, there was no possi
ble way of discovering from whence
they came.
These cases are outside of other
classes of forgeries to which the bank
of England is peculiarly liable~of pow
ers of attorney, by which Fauntleroy
defrauded the bank of £36o—of checks,
of exchange bills, and of other govern
ment debentures. Taking the amount
of paper in circulation in this country
and England, we believe the compara
tive loss from forgeries alone to be
greater than here.
The Horse Bit.
The question of the bit, and of
the hand that rules the bit, underlies
the consideration of the whole subject
of man’s dominion ovei the horse. The
intelligence of mankind lias hitherto
invented but two principal forms of bit;
the snaffle, the simple piece of iron
which lies acr ss the mouth, subject to
endless modifications, such as being
twisted, jointed, and so forth, and the
curb-bit, a more powerful implement,
which has likewise undergone innumer
able variations. The curb-bit is an
adaptation of the principal of the lever,
and the lengthening of the check-piece
allows a very powerful pressure to be
exercised upon the jaw of the horse.
The snaffle is, so to say, a natural bit,
and the curb is an artificial one. The
snaffle was used by our ancestors, and
by the ancient Greeks ; the curb is an
Asiatic invention, and was probably
brought into Europe with the Moors.
In the famous mosaic found at Pompeii,
representing, as is supposed, a battle
between the Greeks and Persians, and
which, at any rate, is the picture of a
battle between Europeans and Asiatics,
the eastern horsemen ride with curbs,
and the Europeans with snaffles. The
difference in the bit modifies the whole
style of riding; and as there are two
sorts of bits, so there are two quite dif
ferent styles of schools of horseman
ship, which may be called the eastern
and the western styles. The type of
the eastern is best seen in the Bedouin
Arab, with his short stirrup, peaked
saddle, and severe bit; and the west
ern type in its simplest form is beauti
fully exemplified in the Elgin rrarbles,
where naked men bestribe bare-backed
horses. To ride after this fashion is an
athletic exercise ; the strength of the
man is set against the strength of the
horse with little adventitious aid. The
rider restrains the horse’s impetuosity
by the sheer force of his arm, and he
maintains a seat on his back by exercis
ing the muscles of his legs. It is the
equitation of athletos and of heroes ;
but it is clear that the balanced seat of
the Arab, and the more complete com
mand over his horse—which follows
from the 'greater security of his seat—
would make him infinitely more formid
able in war than the European, in spite
of the superior strength and size of the
latter.
Additional Taxation.
The secretary of the treasury has
written to the chairman of the ways
and means committee, recommending
additional taxation, so that the revenues
may meet the expenses, and inclosing a
bill for that purpose. The restoration
of the duty on tea and coffee, which
will yield about twenty million dollars
per annum, is included in the recom
mendation. The secretary also inclosed
a letter from Commissioner Douglass,
making the following recommendations:
An increased tax of ten cents per gallon
on distilled spirits, which would yield
annually $7,000,000
Four cents additional per pound on to
bacco, which would yield 4,003,000
On illuminating gas 2,600,000
On gross receipts of railroads from pas
sengers and freight 6,000,000
On steamboat gross receipts from passen
gers and freight 600,000
On insurance companies 1,300,000
On telegraph receipts 250.000
On express companies’ receipts 600,000
Making in the aggregate $22,150,000
Tax on tea and coffee 20,000,000
Slaking a grand total of $12,150,000
The commissioner says if more re
venue is wanted, it could be obtained
to the extent of ten millions by restor
ing the taxes formerly in schedule B,
which includes stamps on all legal in
struments, deeds, mortgages, etc.
Bradlaugh on Royal Salaries.
That very outspoken man, Charles
Bradlaugh, in a speech delivered re
cently at Cincinnati, appeared to enjoy
his little ironical tribute to the Prince
of Wales and the Duke of Edinburg.
“We pay thelprince,” said he, “£50,000
a year for being Prince of Wales, and
£63,000 a year for being Duke of Corn
wall, but we have the benefit of him as
a military man. [Laughter.] We pay
his salary as general in the army and as
colonel of two regiments, which he nev
er sees. At his majority he received
$6,500,000, the accumulations of the
duchy during his minority, and year be
fore last we paid £7,600 for repairs to the
house he lives in. We pay the Duke of
Edinburgh $75,000 for being duke. We
pay him his salary as a naval officer.
Recently ne visited the colonies,
and we voted him .£3,400 to enable him
to be generous there. The colonial %
papers say that although he took the'
money, he left the colonial committees
to pay fer many of the presents. I have
been recently reading our blue-books,
and in the portion devoted to irre
coverable balances 1 find an item of £450
borrowed by the duke from the pay
chest of his ship and never returned.”

Will Wonders Never Cease ?
When Dr. Walker proclaimed that he
had produced from the medicinal herbs
of California an elixir that would regen
erate the sinking system and cure every
form of disease not organic, the incred
ulous shook their heads. Yet his Vine
gar Bitters is now the standard restora
tive of the western world. Under the
operation of the new remedy, dyspeptics
regain their health; the bilious and
constipated are relieved of every dis
tressing symptom ; the consumptive and
rheumatic rapidly recover; intermittent
and remittent fevers are broken ; the
hereditary taint of scrofula is eradica
ted ! Skepticism is routed, and this
wonderful preparation is to-day the
most popular tonic, alterative and blood
depurent ever advertised in America.
We don’t sell rum under the guise of
medicine. We advertise and sell a pure
medicine which will stand analysis by
any chemist in the country.
The Star of Empire —During the
past two years, San Francisco, Chicago
and St. Louis have made considerable
progress in the import trade, and the
enterprise which they have exhibited in
the matter of direct commerce bids fair
to assume large proportions in the fu
ture. Especially is this the case with
San Francisco, whose imports, last year,
amounted to $39,422,604, and whose ex
ports exceeded $38,000,000. It is said
that the hold of New York upon the tea
trade is failing, and that the trade is
fast concentrating to the Western cities
by railroad. Under certain conditions,
the whole Asiatic trade will take the
same course. But the leading interest
in the foreign trade of the Atlantic
ports is and always will be the commerce
with Europe, and therein lies their
greatness.

Dr. R. V. Pierce :
Dear Sir— My wife, last year at this time,
was confined to her bed with chronic liver dis
ease. I had one of the best doctors to see
her, and he gave her up to die, when I came
upon some of your medicine. I bought one
bottle and commenced giving it. She then
weighed eiglity-two pounds; now she weighs
one hundred and forty pounds and is robust
and hearty. She has taken eight bottles in
all, so you see I am an advocate for your medi
cines. Wh. Meazel.

depression of spirits and general debility,

NEW YORK, 1873-4. WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY.
THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known to require any extended recommenda
tion; but the reasons which have already given it fifty thousand subscribers, and
which will, we hope, give it many thousands more, are briefly as follows:.
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it. con
densed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always presented in
a clear, intelligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-rate family paper, full of entertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, hut containing nothing that can offend the most delicate and scrupulous *as'e.
It is a first-rate story paper. The best tales and romances of current literature
are carefully selected arid legibly printed in its pages.
It is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most fresli and instructive articles on
agricultural topics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belonging to no party, and wearing no col
lar. It fights for principle, and for the election of the best men to office. It es
pecially devotes its energies to the exposure of the great corruptions that now
weaken and disgrace our country, and threaten to undermine republican, institutions
altogether. It has no fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies, and the markets for the men,especially the
cattle markets, to which it pays particular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published. One dollar a year will securest for
any subscriber. It is not necessary to get up a club in order toliave THE Vt EEKLY
SUN at this rate. Any one who sends a single dollar will get the paper for a year.
THE WEEKLY SUN.—Eight pages, fifty-six Columns. Only f 1 .OO a year, no discount*
from this rate.
