Altogether Improbable.
A story has traveled lately about a
stenographer writing 402 words in one
minute, but the first question that
suggests itself is who is able to enu¬
merate 402 words in a minute for the
stenographers to write? Clergymen,in
delivering sermons, average perhaps
ninety words per minute; political
campaign speakers 110. As a rule
senators in debate don’t talk faster
than 150 words a minute, and in
spurts, they seldom reach 220. In
fact, very rapid readers find difficulty
in uttering intelligibly 275 and 300
words in sixty seconds.

CHIEF HA2EN TALKS OF THE WAY§
OF COUNTERFEITERS.
Makers of Spurious Notes Flourish Most
in the West—Chicago the Headquarters
of the Workers—New Counterfeit Sil¬
ver Certificate—Aristocracy of Crooks.
A counterfeit of the $5 United States
silver certificate, series of 1896, has
been forwarded to the Secret Service
Bureau at the Treasury Department in
Washington from Chicago. It is the
first which has been received since last
January, and experts declare it is a
clever piece of work, which would not
be detected as a counterfeit except un¬
der close scrutiny. It l^is a number,
of points about it which stamp it as’
being spurious, but which would not
be noticed in the least by the laity.
“I had been expecting this note to
turn up for a long time,” said Chief
Hazen, of the Secret Service Bureau,
to a Washington Star reporter to-day
as he shoved the counterfeit note
across the table to be examined by the
reporter. “I am rather surprised that
we have not secured it before.
“It comes from Chicago, and from
certain ear marks which I can detect
about it it is the work of a noted coun¬
terfeiter by the jiame of John Alfred
L’Koog. L’Koog is a Swede, about
thirty-five years of age, and rather
clever as. a note.maker. He escaped
from Joliet Prison, Ill., last March,
where he had been sent from Chicago
for counterfeiting, with two other men.
They were coin makers, named Jacob
Johnson and James Eoley. They w ere
recaptured and returned to the prison,
but so far L Koog .has eluded the
watchfulness of the officers.
“The last counterfeit note we re
ceived was from Chicago, also. It was
a $20 ‘Manning head’ certificate, and
turned up January 11. The Windy
City is a centre for counterfeiting, as
the workers have often been captured
there.”
The chief sat in his private office in
the Treasury building, about which
clings an air of mystery connected
with everything pertaining to the se¬
cret service. On the walls were pic¬
tures of famous makers and shovers of
“the queer,” more were held iu cab¬
inets, and records, which if revealed
would cause sensations throughout the
United States, were hidden in boxes
and carefully filed away.
“Counterfeiters might be termed
the aristocracy of crooks. They are
generally quiet, not often immoral or
convivial, and are naturally very re¬
served. It is a paradox, but there are
never thieves among them, What I
mean is, while they follow' counter¬
feiting, which is oae of the worst
crimes imaginable, they would not
rob or burglarize. Many of them have
been known to be exceedingly chari¬
table, though it may be said if they are
successful they can easily afford to be
30 . They are a milder class than that
af any other criminals. They never
muse trouble in any community
wherever they may happen to be, out¬
side of their counterfeiting.
“There are not so many women in the
business as formerly; why, cannot just
be explained. There are few females
in it now, and those who are engaged
in the business co-operate with their
husbands. The man generally makes
the money, and the woman passes it,
is she does not find so much trouble
itt doing so.
“It is a mistaken idea to suppose
that counterfeiters, as has been stated,
buy silver and make it into coin,
thereby gaining the profit which the
stamp is supposed to add to it. Not
by any means. A counterfeiter will
not pay sixty or sixty-two cents an
ounce for silver to use when he cau
get the same results differently. He
buys antimony, tin, plaster of jjaris,
aud other materials, the whole outfit
costing about a dollar and a half.
With these he can get out coin to the
face value of $200 or $300. They
wish to make as much as possible out
of-little as possible. work of individ¬
“We recognize the
ual coin counterfeiters by the manner
in which the coins are finished, as to
the milling on the edges, and other de¬
tails. It is very seldom that we are
mistaken in this respect. Every one
has his own mark.
“The biggest capture we ever made
was that of the Brockway-Bradiords
gang, in Hoboken, N. J., in 1895.
There were six members of the gang,
including the notorious Mrs. Abbie
Smith, who is now serving a four-year
sentence iu the New Jersey peniten
tiary at Snake Hill. The woman made
the notes. She was cousin to Dr.
p ra( if 0 rd, one of the prime movers of
the gang
swooped down upon them^in
before they had a chenee J»
put any of their lulls in circulation.
We captured notes of all denomina
lions on United States and Canadian
banks, figuring up to the value of
$750,000. Many of the bills were in
j partly finished state, but the work
was exceedingly clever, and would
have passed inspection almost any
where.”
The chief opened one of the cabi
nets fixed so that leaves, in which
nhotographs were fixed of noted conn
terfeiters easily swung outward,
T>ere were more than 1600 photos in
this cabinet alone of the “queer” peo
pie. They were of all ages, colors,
classes an d appearance. Some of them
were women, well dressed, with, in
many cases, refined faces. The coun¬
tenances of a number of the men were
handsome, the expression pleasing and
intelligent.
It is an album of faces which is a
notable one, and the chief frequently
inspects them so that they will not
fade from his memory.
THE QUEEN’S DOCS.
Groat Britain’s Sovereign is Fond of rets
of all Kinds.
There is no one fonder of dogs and
horses than Queen Victoria. One of
the most interesting parts to her of
all "Windsor Castle is that in which
the kennels stand. Here the Queen’s
splendid collection of dogs are housed.
Every one of the sixty animals has its
own residence, this being a little
apartment fourteen or fifteen feet
square, with a neat tiled yard iu front
the same size.
Every day a new bed of straw is
laid down for these fortunate pets,
aud a large bath is placed near at
hand iu which the dogs perform their
daily ablutions, and to reach it they
walk down a tiled path, which is called
the “Queen’s Walk.” When the “tub¬
bing” is over the animals betake them¬
selves to a drying shed in the pad
dock to which the pond or bath is sit¬
uated; and in another corner there is
a plot called the “Apron Piece,”
where in former days the Queen used
to sit and watch and pet the animals,
Her Majesty never forgets the name
an( j history of any of her dogs or
h orS e S) some of which are very valua
ble, as they have been presented to
the Queen by other sovereigns or by
distinguished travelers. There are
three or four dogs which always ac
company their royal mistress wlier
ever she goes, these being a funny lit¬
tle red Spitz dog called “Marco,” a
terrier named “Spot” and one or two
others, says Answers.
The dogs who live in the kennels
have several keepers and attendants,
who take them for their daily walk.
They go out in batches of two, and it
is a funny sight to see them when they
return home, each walking into his or
her particular kennel, so gravely aud
sedately do they march back. The
animals are beautifully kept, aud at
any moment the summons may come
from the castle that the royal lady
wants one or another to he brought
for her inspection. Her Majesty has
statuettes in silver or bronze made of
nearly all her pets, whether they be
horses, dogs, cows or her favorite
lion, Victor, who resides at the Zoo.—

WISE WORDS.
Caution is often wasted, but it is a
very good risk to take.
The smallest children are nearest
heaven, as tho smallest planets are
nearest the sun.
Neatness, when moderate, is a vir¬
tue; but when carried to an extreme
it narrows the mind.
Those who are formed to win general
admiration are seldom calculated to
bestow individual happiness.
It takes less time to amass a fortune
than to become heavenly-minded.' It
is the work of a long life to become a
good man.
Hast thou considered how the be¬
ginning of all thought worthy the
name is love; and the wise head never
yet was, without first the generous
heart?
Envy is the most inexcusable of all
passions. Every other sin has some
pleasure annexed to it, or will admit
of an excuse; envy alone wants both.
Other sins last but for a while; the ap¬
petite may be satisfied; anger remits;
hadred has an end; but envy never
ceases.
As long as injustice continues in the
world, so long will there be a place
for anger and a mission for it to per¬
form. But, like fire, while it makes a
very good servant, it makes a very bad
master. Uncontrolled, the one will

Pistols and Pestles.
The duelling pistol now occupies its proper
place, in the museum of the collector of relics
of barbarism. The pistol ought to havo beside
it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets,
to be shot like bullets at the target of the
liver. But the pestle is still in evidence, and
will be, probably, until everybody has tested
the virtue of Ayer's sugar coated pills. They
treat the liver as a friend, not as an enemy.
Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are
compounded on the theory that the liver does
its work thoroughly and faithfully under
obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions
are removed, the liver will do its daily duty.

As to Smoke.
An English scientist has made Homo
interesting experiments as to the effect
of nicotine upon the lungs and heart.
He has arrived at the conclusion that
a man of easy-going nature can smoke
a great deal without much injury lo
himself, while a nervous man will
damage himself seriously by smoking
much. A man who takes plenty of
exorcise in the open air maj smoke
with impunity, while he who sits much,
at a desk should take care.
