The bead of a bureau In an Impor tant government department has long been afflicted with a friend who calls upon blui regularly und sits down and sits aud sits and goes on sitting till assault und buttery becomes a virtue. The other day this sedentary bore was In the full exercise of bis functions wheu suddenly the official, who bud been scrutinizing him closely, -cried: "I knew it! I was sure of It! Confound those office Imys, with their tricks on strangers! They've been putting glue ou your chair again. Ill, Jltnmle, bring a sponge and a pall of water!"

Here, Jlmiule, moisten this gentleman so that we can get him loose. Don't spare the water; the cloth won't shrink or fude. The fulthful messenger obeys, und wheu the oieratlon Is con cluded the official conducts the visitor to the door und bids blm farewell, with tho renmrk: "Perhaps you want to hur ry home und chunge your clothing, so I won't keep you. Goodby, bless you! If your trousers ore spoiled, let me know, and I'll stop the price of them out of the pay of the Infernal scoundrel If I can find out who he was, and to that task I will devote all the energies of my lifetime and the whole machinery of the government.

The Australians when they find a horseshoe throw It over their shoulder. A lady In Sydney found one and threw It ' gracefully over her shoulder.

Closely allied to the making of coun terfeit coins aud usually combined with that nefarious trade is what Is known us "sweating," which requires considerable skill to accomplish suc cessfully. A rubber mold la used, Into which a gold colu to be sweated Is In troduced und held with a clip. Copper wires having been adjusted, the coin Is Immersed in a hath of cyanide of potusslum and an electric bnttery set going. The action of the electricity upon the coin in the ncld uniformly sweats the metal that Is to say. causes so much of it to become detnebed. This process is gone through with a largo number or coins, and the gold deposit thus obtained Is cxtrncted from the acid. It Is tor the purpose of detecting the existence or such reduced coins that bankers weigh gold coins In a balance, and if one Is in the scale It will Imme diately be shown by the Indicator. The light coin Is thou taken out, and what ever the shortage represents that amount the customer will hare to make up or be fined. But, all things considered, sweating Is but a poor business, says- II. L. Adam In bis Interesting book, "The Story of Crime," and evidently it Is j thought so by the criminal fraternity, for It hns dwindled to a mere nothing. A sovereign weighs 123.27447 grains, and the limit of error In the weight Is 2 of a jrraln, from which it may readily be gathered that sweating can not now be n very lucrative business.
