BOOK NOTICES.
"The History of David Grieve.” By Mrs.
Humphry Ward, author of "Robert Els
mere,” etc., etc. 12mo, oloth extra 81. In
speaking of this work a Boston paper says;
"Mrs. Ward has shown herself to be a
writer of incontestable genius. Her high
enthusiasm for the moral elevation of the
race has been at one with the artistic im
pulse that has guided her pen. Hor delinea
tion of the development of David Orieve’s
character is unsurpassed for insight and
delicacy of handling by anything in her
earlier book, "Robert Elsmere." The re
pression of his childhood on the Derbyshire
farm, his ambitious struggle for a footing
among Manchester tradesmen, and the sud
den expansion of his emotional and artistic
nature during the visit to Paris are told
with a wonderful 'power of fascination.”
The Commercial and Financial Chroni
cle has issued its fifty-third volume, oover
iug the last half of the year 18'JI. The
volume is larger than the previous one.
it contains, besides the Chronicle , issued
weekly, and its supplement, the state and
oity supplement, issued last October, and
the Investors’ supplement, published
quarterly, all under one cover. The useful
ness of this publication to the merchant,
banker and railroad man is now universally
acknowledged, as it covers so thoroughly
the financial and business field. The sub
scription price is $lO per year, which in
cludes all the supplements. William B.
Dana & Cos., publishers, No. 102 William
street, New York.
"Transplanted Shame; a Quartette Sym
posium.” Len Vanderpool & Cos., New
York. Paper 25 cents. This book deals
with crimes and weaknesses, moral lies,
custom-gilded and habit-veneered shams
and ihe general moral, religious, social, le
gal, political and commercial rottenness of
this country. Especially is the present un
just position of woman publicly and pri
vately. attacked on logical and moral
grounds.
"Adventures of a Fair Rebel.” By Matt
Crim. Charles L. Webster & Cos., New
York. Cloth. A most charming story is
this and it Is well worth reading. The
scene of it is laid in Georgia. The author 13
a Georgia lady, who has steadily made her
way upward iu literature uutil her work is
eagerly sought by the best magazines.
"The New Mistress; a Fate.” By George
Manville Fenn. J. B. Lippinoott Com
pany, Philadelphia. Few more interesting
itories have been issued In LippincottA)
series of select novels than this. It holds
the interest well from beginning to end.
"Our Child; a Tale of Passion." By Clara
E. Ballou. W. D. Rowlaud, publis er, 23
Chambers stroet. New York. This toone of
the leisure hour series and a rather startling
story it is.
"Voegele’s Marriage and Other Taira.”
By Louis Schnabel. The Jewish Publica
tion Society. Philadelphia. This is a col
lection of interesting short stories.
MAGAZINES.
Harper's Magazine for February con
tains the beginning of a remarkably at
tractive series of papers describing a canoe
voyage in 1821 down the Danube., "i• rom ' the
Hiack Forest to tho Blsick
article of tho series is written by Poult
ney Bigelow, and superbly illustrated from
drawings made during the voyage y .
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 1892.
Parsons and F. D. Millet. Julian Ralph
contributes to this number another of his
valuable and entertaining papers on the
great northwest, and under the somewhat
enigmatical title of “A Skin for a Skin”
describes the fur-tradi: g industries of Hrit
isn North America and the operations of the
oace powerful Hudson Bay Company. The
article is accompanied by several strikingly
i riginal illustrations drawn by Frederic
Remington. Another paper of peculiar tis
tono as well as local interest is an account
of the "Old Shippipg Merchants of New
written by George W. Sheldon, and
aopropriatelv illustrated from drawing* hy
C. D. Gibson and F. H. Schell and from
painting* by Eaton and Nagle. These are
only a few of the good things of the num
ber. Harper Brothers, New York.
The complete novel in Lippincott's Maga
zine for February, “Roy the Royalist,’’ is
by William Westall, and is a stirring tale
of adventure in the wars of Nap leon.
Though its events date back nearly a
century, they are presented in the brisk
aud business-like modern manner. The
hero, a dashing young officer rf the British
navy, prompt and capable alike ,n friend
ship, love and war, me ts Bonaparte while
a prisoner in France, distinguishes himself
m the defense of Acre, recovers a treasure
concealed in a chateau of the Jura
by its ci-devant owners, and
finally eettleß in his native Vir
ginia. Topics of national importance
are handled by Julian Hawthorne, who has
lately been interviewing the heals of de
partments at Washington, in “Secretary
Rusk's Crusade,” and by Henry Clews, who
writes with authority of "The Board of
Trade and the Farmer.” The poets
are present in unusual numbers, and they
are mostly womeu. J. B. Lippinoott &
Cos., Philadelphia.
Scribner's for February is an exoellent
number. Sidney Dickinson has an article
on sheep farming in Australia. Ajnong
other things he says; "Many of the Aus
tralian stations are of magnificent propor
tions. ‘Old Jimmy Tyson,’ as he is familiar
ly known, who is reputed to be the wealth
iest man in Australia, and worth at least
£2,000,000, pastures 70,000 head of cattle
upon a single one of bis properties, and
owns slati. ns, both in New South Wales
and Queensland, each of which is larger
than Bavaria,” Dr. Albert Shaw has an
article on *"A Model Working Girls’ Club.”
He describes the Polytechnic Young
Women’* Institute of Loudon, which was
founded in ISBB, and has accomplished a
great work. Octave Thanot has a suort
story of plantation life in Arkansas. She
will contribute during the year a series of
short stories of western life. There are
many other valuable articles. Charles
Scribner's Song, New York.
The January number of Ooldthwaite's
Geographical Magazine is exceptionally
good. The table of contents is a very at
tractive one. Among some of the artioles
are "The River Lost in Sand,” "The Earth
quake of Japan,” “The Great Persian Salt
Desert,” etc. 152 Nassau street. New York.
Don’t.
From Ooldthwaite's Geographical Magazine.
Don't say or write Austro-Hungary. The
be-t writers prefer Austria-Hungary.
Don’t call the Cbmese “Mongolians.” It
Is better to reserve the latter name for tbe
people who live north of China proper.
Don’t speak of a native of China as a
Chinaman. You would not say that you
had an Ireland man digging in your gar
den. It is better to call John a Chinese.
Don’t, please don’t, say that New York
city is located on Manhattan Island. Such
a misuse of the verb “to looate” is trying to
the nerves of the best lexicographers. Say
New York city is situated on Mauhattau
Island.
Don’t apeak of China as our antipoles.
Our antipodes is the point on the other side
of the world reached by a straight line
passing through the plate ou which we
stand and the centre of tbe earth. Our an
tipode* is in the ocean southwest of Aus
tralia.
Don’t forget that Oriental names ending
in "an” have the accent almost invariably
on the last syllable, as Teheran, Beloo
cbistan.
Don’t imagine that the spelling of geo
graphical names in the newspapers is ne
cessarily accurate. It is safe to say that
one-half of the place names in Africa and
Asia, as they appear in our daily press, are
mangled almost beyond recognition by the
cable or the type.
Don’t call Bermuda “a North American
island.” as a writer in a newspaper did tbe
other day. There are plenty of North
American islands, but Bermuda is not one
of them. It is an oceanic, not a continental
island.
Don’t bo mystified if on one map in your
atlas Hudson bay seems to be larger than
the Gulf of Mexico, while on another sheet
of the same atlas the Gulf of Mexico ap
pears larger than Hudson bay. The tapa
rent discrepancy is doubtless due to the
different map projections employed. You
know, for instance, that areas far removed
from the equator are very muoh exaggera
ted as they appear on maps of the Mercator
projection.
Don’t say that the compass points to the
true north, for it doesn’t, except in certain
places. The compass points to the magnetic
north, which is at present considerably west
of tbe north pole. When Lieut. Greely was
at Lady Franklin bay the declination of his
needle was found to be very great, the nee
dle pointing toward the maguetic pole in a
direction nearly southwest.
D n’t make the mistake some people do of
thinking the word “alluvium” to be
synonymous with "soil.” Only those soils
which are the result of the deposition of
sediment by running water can properly be
called alluvial soils.
Don’t for mercy’s sake say "The Smithso
nian Institute.” The name is the Smithso
nian Institution.
When you are writing a novel don’t get
your geographical facts so badly mixed as
to reflect discredit upon your early training.
In one of tbe popular novels of the day tbe
Azores are referred to as in a southern lati
tude. The writer also iutroduoes his hero
into the Antarctic regions In January, and
speaks of the “inky blackness” of the nights
he experienced there. Of course anybody
ought to know that tbe month of January
is the hight of the Autartio summer, and
the entire month is one continuous day.

“It may surprise you to learn," saida dealer
in antiques to a New York Commercial Adver
tiser reporter, “that la Varis there is an estab
lished factory for the production of fine old
family portraits, the majority of which are
shipped over to and disposed of in this country.
The concern is a biz studio in the Passage de
Panorama; and a trio of clever artists run it.
They work from copies of works that hang in
private galleries throughout the continent and
are not visible to the zeneral publio Their
method for reproducing the appearance of age
in the painting is a secret of their own and it is
marvelously deceptive. One of their pictures,
when ready for the market is as mellow in tone
as if it bal hung for years in some baronial
hall, and the ordinary expert is deceived easily.
"These works are disposed of at stiff prices,
and the artists who turn them out are rapidly
waxing opulent.
"lain told that the next French steamer will
bring six of them.”
From Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher.
“40 Grange St., Brooklyn, N. Y.,)
Feb. 11, 1890. f
“I have used Allcock’s Plasters for
some years for myself and family, and, as
far as able, for the many sufferers who come
to us for assistance, and have found them a
genuine relief for most of the p.ches and
pain* which flesh is heir to. I have used
Ai.lcock’s Plasters for all kind of lame
ness and acute pain, and, by frequent ex
periments, find that they can control many
cases not noticed in your circulars.
“Ibe above is the only testlmonal 1 have
ever given in favor of aay plaster, and if
my name has been used to recommend any
other it is without my authority or sanc
tion.” Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher.

lation-Losses Accruing to Gold
Coins by tbe “Sweating" Process.
Chinese Tricks.
A reporter was siandiug the other day in
the rather dim and close-smelling room of
tho United States sub-treasury on Wall
street, in which oiti2ens have their bills ex
changed for gold or silver and from which
bankers draw tbe ooiu that makes foreign
trade possible, when a respectably-dressed,
man approached one of the paying tellers,
says the New York News.
“I just want to know," he said, "if this
$lO bill is all right or only a counterfeit f’
The clerk took the bill and retired with
it for a moment. He came back and with
out a word handed the bill to the man.
Across its face was stamped the word
“counterfeit.” The letters were cut out of
the body of the bill, so that no power could
again put it in circulation.
“What do you meau by doing that?” de
manded tbe indignant citizen.
“Ob, you teed n’t get mad," remarked tho
teller. "The law is imperative. Every
bogus bill that comes here is treated ui the
same fashion.”
"This wouldn’t have happened had I taken
it to a bank.”
"You should have thought of that before
you brought it here."
“This sort of thing,” said the teller to the
reporter, as tbe man left looking rather
crestfallen, “happens nearly every day in
the week, and sometimes it is funny to see
how men take on when their bogus bills are
destroyed. They are respectable business
men, who have taken them in honest trade
and they think it is rather hard that they
should not have a chance of gettiug them off
again on their unsuspecting ne ghbors.
“ You beard what be said about tho banks i
Well, that’s quite true, if be had taken his
bill to the bank he would have been told
that it was a counterfeit and it would have
been banded back to him intact if he was
known. By law tbe national banks are re
quired to treat all counterfeit bills just as
they are treated at the United States sub
treasuries. They don’t do it, however, with
their big customers, because they fear it
would offend them and lead to a loss of busi
ness.”
Very little counterfeit coin finds its way
to the sub-treasury. It is seldom indeed
that a stray bogus coin passes the watchful
eye of the receiving teller at a bank. The
United States secret service detectives have
well nigh stamped out the businen of coun
terfeiting coin, aud, although the counter
feits which now and then find their way
into circulation are muoh better than those
of twenty-five years ago, they are always
faulty lu one of three characteristics of the
genuine coin—thickness, diameter anil
weight. If they be of the proper weight,
they are either too thick or the diameter too
large, and a little machine ou tbe desk of
each receiving toller at the sub-treasury
applies ell three tests in half a second.
When a counterfeit gold or silver coin is
presented it is confiscated and melted in the
United States assay office for old metal.
Apart from the action wbioh decides tbe
fate of bad bills and bogus ooins, there is a
preoedeuce at tbe sub-treasury which puz
zles the ordinary citizen. It is the refusal of
the government to redeem its own gold coins
ut their face value, except they he fresh
from the mint, while the most tattered of $5
treasury bill is good for a bright new mint
$5 gold piece.
All gold coins wear in proportion more than
silver. If you have a S2O gold pieoeand
fancy that it is light, don’t go to tbe sub
treasury to find out, espeoiaily if it seems
much worn. It will share the fate of a
counterfeit bill in a mitigated form, as the
letter “L,” for “light,” will 4>o punched on
its face and it will be fit only for the melt
ing'pot or to sell as old gold.’ One-half per
cent, of loss on the weight of the coin will
insure it this fate without appeal. Every
bank suffers considerably in the course of a
year from this rule of the sub treasury.
When ban kers present gold at the sub-treasu
ry for the purchase of certificates all ooins
that show a loss of per cent, in weight
are stamped and go to the melting-pot in
the assay office. There is no charge to
bankets for melting light-weight coin, and
the owners lose only its depreciation in
weight.
An average of ‘nbout $400,000 in light
weight gold coin is received annually in the
sub-treasury on Wall street. Tbe loss on
this coin, which averages from to 1 per
cent., falls on the banks, all of which ac
cept light-weight coins within these limits
rather than offend their oustomers. Asa
rule, all the large banks bold their light corns
until they amount to $2,009 in par value be
fore bringing them to the mb-treasury.
The reason assigned for the refusal of the
government to redeem its light gold coins
at their face value, insiead of making the
loss by depreciation fall on bankers and
citizens generally, Is that to accept such
coins below weight would encourage
criminals to tamper with them, and give a
new impetus to the "sweating” process,
wbioh has often more to do wiih the light
weight than ordinory wear and tear m cir
culation.
The “sweating" process 1s simple, re
quires little intelligence, subjects the opera
tor to the minimum risk of danger from
detection, and returns a fair profit on an
original investment of say SSOO in S2O gold
pieces.
The “sweater” places a number of S2O
gold pieces iu a buckskin bag aud shakes
them together long and violently. The
friction detaches small particles of gold
from the coin; so small that they leave no
marks on the coin of the treatment to which
it has been subjected. The coins are then
removed and individually have lost so little
in weight tbatit can only be detected by tbe
scales. The bag is now boiled, which makes
the gold partioles adhere to the buckskin.
It is then dried and burned and the allies
are fused in a crucible aud the gold recov
ered.
Another method of tampering with gold
coin, for which we are indebted to the Chi
nese, is to drill minute boles through the
m.lliug and shake out the gold dust. This
method of criminally depreciating coin re
quires expert manipulation, aud is not by
any means as much in vogue as the sweat
ing process.
Though bankers can have their light
weight gold coin melted and assayed free of
charge, private individuals have not the
same privilege. They are charged $1 for
eacn deposit in the sub-t easury of less than
1,000 ounces, and for over that amount, one
tenth of a cent an ounce.
The gold dollars of the coining of 1850-’sl
-and of 1888 are very apt to be
light, aud are bad things to bring to tho
sub-treasury. They are, however, curiosi
ties more than anything else, especially
those coined in 18S8, of which the total issue
was only $8,543, Their principal use seems
to be for bangles, cutf-bottons aud watch
charms, aud brokers do a large export trade
with them to Africa, where they are used as
ear pendants by the savage chiefs. They
are also exporter! to South America, where
they are used as studs, ornaments for ladies’
hats, and by wealthy “vaqueros” as vest
buttons. In the Argentine Republic it is
fashionable to attach an American gold dol
lar to the cord binding the invitation to a
wedding or a christening.
A coin collector will givo for the earlier
issues of the gold dollar from |1 50 to $2.
while the issue of 1888 is worth $1 20. With
the defacing “L” of the sub-treasury on
thorn they are just worth their weight in
gold and no more.
Silver coins seem to be unduly favored by
Uncle Sara. It does not matter bow thin
your quarter or dollar is, or how light it
weighs. If it*t any time was fssu'd bv
the United States, you can get a brand-new
coin, fresh from the mint, in exchange, - by
presenting it at the sub-treasury. Only be
careful not to bring plugged coins, coins
with holes in them, or stamped with ini
tials. They will not he received, aud will
be withdrawn from circulation. About
S3OJ,(KK) of itun kind of coin falls into the
bands of tfce officials of the several sub
treasuries annually.
The reason why the government can
afford to pay the face value of *ilver
com without fear of being cheated is that
silver com is too hard to “sweat,'’ and the
pr ***3 would not pay, while the small
amount of silver that could be extracted hy
drilling would be equally insiguiflcanl lu
value.
A CONFIDING MAN.
His Innocence a lmoet Paralyzed the
Policeman.
From the Xete York World.
There was a young man about 20 years
old walking up and down Park place as if
looking for something special, and a polioe
man who had been observing him for some
time finally asked him what he wanted.
“ I left my sachet in a doorway along
here somewhere,” was tbe reply.
"You left your sachel in a doorway!”
"Yes. I wanted to run up to the post
office and it was pretty heavy to carry; had
two suits of clothes iu it."
“Aud you left it in a doorway.”
"Yes. I put my wallet containing $95 in
it, and also a watch worth about slls. I was
afraid they might gat lost. It was right
along here somewhere."
“Well, you are about the greenest chap I
have seen for the last teu year*!” exclaimed
the officer.
"Why!”
“Don’t you know that someone picked
that mohel up within two minutes!”
“O! I guess not. I’vealw*ys confided In
tbe puldic. and I never got robbed yet."
“Well, is real old-fashioned innocence and
no mistake," laughed the officer. “Thera
is about one chance iu a million of your ever
seeing ”
“Ah! here’s the place and here’s the
sachel!” interrupted tbe youug man, as he
stopped aside into a doorway and lugged it
out. “I knew it was along here some
where. Much obleeged for your kindness.
Alius confided Iu the publio and uever got
left yet."
Andes lie shouldered it and went off
down the street the officer looked after him
iu blank amazement and muttered:
“By jtm! hut I really believe I ought to
have tapped him once with my club!”
Worth, the Dressmaker.
Lucu H. Hooper, in Harper's Bazar,
Worth has made dresses not only for tho
royal ladies of Europe, but for tbe queens ot
society both in Europe and the Uuiled
States, and for the queens of the footlighis
as well. His first royal customer was
Donna Maria da Gloria, Queen Kegnnnteof
Portugal. There is scarcely a princess mar
ried in all Europo—outside of tbe ladles of
the imperial family of Germany, whose
principles forbid them from ever ordering
anything to be made in Paris—that does
not have a group of Worth toilette*
included in her trousseau. The Em
press of Russia and the queens of
Italy and of Portugal, are his constant cus
tomer*. One of the room* in his beautiful
home at Buresne* has been fitted up as a
small theatre, with a tiny stage, aud there
Mesdames Favart and Croixetta, and others
ot the great actresses of France, have oome
to go through before him the new roles that
they were about to oreate, so that ho might
design for them dresses suited to tho atti
tudes and the gesture* required by the
characters they were to impersonate. The
first to consult him in this way was the
great Rachel, whan sho was
preparing to appear in the only
modern society play in which she ever
acted, narnoly, “Lady Tartuffe." The estab
lishment of the republio in France has
wrought no change in the prosperity of his
house. There are always courts to be
adorned and queens and princesses to be
dressed througnout the rest of Europe.
Poor, commonplace, penurious Mine. Grevy
never dreamed, I suppose, of suab an ex
travagance as a Worth toilette in all her
life, but the wives of all the other presi
dents of France—Mesdames Thiers, Mac-
Mahon and Carnot—have all been num
bered amongst his ollent*.
Despite his long osreer, Mr. Worth is now
but little past middle age. He is a stout,
genial, pleasant-looking gentleman, with a
peculiar low-toned voioe, and very quiet
manners. He has asver been known to lose
his patlenoe with even the most exacting
and unreasonable oustomers; but if prwssed
too hard by the caprioes of any one of them
he will glide quietly away and leave her to
find out what she wants before trying to
satisfy her. He is not only the head of that
vast establishment, but its soul and brain
and sinews n* well. He creates the pattern
dresses, orders materials and trim
mings to be manufactured, very
often from his own designs, and
superintends in person ail the delicate
finishing details of a toilette, such as the
shaping and trimming of a corsage, tbe
tying ot scarfs or of ribbons, and placing nf
artificial flowers on the skirt. He excels in
combining colors, sweeping aside piece after
piece of silk till the exact union of hues that
is at once tho most effective aud the most
artistic has been reached. Ho studies the
portraits of beauties and celebrated female
personages of by-gone ages to glean ideas
for new styles, as he observos the blooding
of colors in the plumage of birds
or tbe petals of flowere or
the accidental combination of the
pate green of young grass in the spring
with the warm red of the earth iu a freshly
plowed field. This last-named union of
tints furnished him with an idea for a strik
ingly effective toilette. Heoornes to bis es
tablishment from bis home at 9 o’clock in
the morning, and remains there always un
til! 6 o’clock, seldom leaving before 7
o’clock in the bight of tho season. He is
ably seconded by his younger son, John
Worth, who has inherited much of his
father’s talent. The eldest son, Gaston
Worth, is tbe business manager of tbe
house.
Of Worth it may be said, as Louis XIII.
remarks of the great cardinal minister In
Bulwer’s play of "Riohelieu:”
“Round him thrones totter—dynasties dissolve.
The soil ho guards alone escapes the earth
quake."
The fairy realm of fashion outlasts hun
dreds of more durable thrones. Bince the
house of Worth was founded its chief has
seen pass away the empire that first brought
him renown, the emperor tbit was its head,
the youth destiued to be the heir to the im
perial groainess. The lovely empress whose
charms found their highest enhancement at
his hands is an aged widow. Half the beau
ties that first brought his toilettes into vogue
have beebme faded old ladies, and the rest
are no longer living. He has seen one riva
dressmaker after another rise in Paris, win
a fleeting renown, and then disappear, and
still the name of Worth remains a spell to
conjure with amid the enchantments of
fashion. He has uever advertised, and has
never sought publicity. But no similar
establisnment in all tbe world can compete
with his own, not o. Jy • in tbe taste and
elegance ot its productions, hut in the
conscientious care shown in tbe quality
of the materials that are used, an 1 in
the though tfulness evinced for the health
and well-being of its countless work
women.
