It never has been done, and it never will be done. .There Is some thing in a brook that will Dot permit him to make a flawless plate. I think It 1 his conscience." , : .These are, the words of Charles Ulrtchs. one of the oldest and best counterfeiters in the United States, who la responsible for placing many thousands of dollars In bad money In circulation, to William P. Hasen formerly chief of the United States Secret Service Bureau. '' Virions studied the problem while he was working on plates himself, striving with aU the skill In him to make one that would deceive the government experts. He has studied It during the long years he has passed In prison. '-H irav faet recognised by an of the beat counterfeiters that every spurious bill tails in. some particular. It Is true, that bad money, has been made that puzsled the treasury experts, and at times they have had to call upon the counterfeiters themselves to point out the Imperfection. But a flaw has, always been found. And It la a curious fact that the most Intelligent men among the makers of bad money believe with Ulrlchs that it Is conscience which protects the treasury of the United States from the attacks of the counterfeiters. It is a remarkable view to be taken by a crook, and the more one thinks about It the stranger It seems. Probably it Isn't true. It Is doubtful If even the best engraver employed by the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printlng ; could make two plates exactly alike. Exact duplication is one of the Impossible things, and this applies to counterfeit money aa much as it does to an ocean greyhound.' Former Chief Hasen said: "The most perfect counterfeits that the famous Brook way ever put out were the Joint work of himself and Charles Smith. They . were 6 per cent governments, known aa the Jay Cooke bonds. Smith made the plate and Brockway did. the printing. The work was done In Brook - -BLUE-FQR HAE. Said to Remove Yellow Tint From Locks Turning Gray, Gray hair Is ordeal to the average woman under the most favorable cir cumstances, and -she probably finds in It iittie that is to be palliated. On the other hand, moat women would prob ably not mind it so much If they wer certain that all their hair would becom white immediately and not remain tar several years In the yellowish, mixed stage that' comes to all women who have not black "hair. It Is the problem ot getting their hair white all at ones that troubles most women, - Some of the Paris hair dressers are said to be able to make the hair quite white when once it begins to turn. The process is expensive under any clrcum stances. a romeuy nas Deen round WAJcn ! successful in the case of most of the women who have tried It. It is not ex pensive, for the process consists of giving the hair a bath qf washing blue. The blue must not be too strong, but must be liberally mixed wltti water. If one bath does not have the effect of taking all the yellow out of the hair, the operation should be repeated. In a day or two after the bath of blue has been given the yellow will begin to fade from the hair, and In a short time It will be quite white. Chicago Inter Ocean. MEAN GAMBLER WORSTED. "We have all seen how the smart gam bler gets the crimp put into him some tiroes until he looks like a young lady's front half In 1889," observed the dealer, as he deftly swept the coppers off the table and shuffled a stack of checks. "Some of you gentlemen may have gam bled In Clark street in the old days. There Is an example of the wise man get ting his fingers burned. A veteran bank player was about tbe only one at the table this night, barring a couple of white check players, whom we needn't remember. He was 12200 in the box when 2 o'clock came around. But this particular dealer waa loser on this day and he didn't want to give the player chance to get even. So when he reached the last turn, he said quietly: This be the last deal tonight.' 'What's that?-said Peter the player. 'doing to shut off In tbat fashion after I'm In 12200? What chance have 1 got to get even?' :Call yourself even,' said the dealer. It pays four for one,' never dreaming that Peter would take the percentage against himself that goes with a call of the turn. Peted studied tha layout and counted his checks. There remained In the box an aoe, tray and a nine spot The ace had lost three times, but the nine had Won three times. The deal had been go ing against double out. ' Nineteen blue checks, one less than a stack, was Peter's stake. The blues were $500 a- stack, so he had $475. Me took a tip from the number of checks be had and called It ace nine. The dealer turned.' When the first card showed an ace he was so nervous he could hardly shove out the next. It was the nine spot. Peter had won $19U on the turn, leaving him fl7a to the good. 'The dealer literally fell out of his chair. Chicago Inter-Ocean. FRESH AIR TABLETS. "Air tAhloMa" are. beinr advertised. "Carry your -oxygen supply About with you tin your waistcoat pockets runs the announcement, "and have fresh ah- al ways w..n you, whether you be in a sub marine Morse boat or in a Santos-Du-mont airship," ' Sensational hyperbole being1 reduced to sober fact, it Is found, a your readers will have guessed, that the so-called air tablet are a practical application of the properties recently discovered In sodium peroxide and potassium peroxld when compressed under certain conditions. Par. lyn. Ulrlchs was a member of the gang at that time. "Thousands upon thousands of dolLarsn worth ot these bonds were located. There wasn't a bank In the country that re fused them at first. When they reached the United States treasury the officials knew that there were counterfeits in cir culation because ot the number of the .bonds floating about. But they could not tell the spurious bonds from the genuine. "Then Chief Brooks of the secret Serv ice sought out. 'Charley' Ulrlchs. He was brought on to Washington to separate the good bonds from the bad. Of course, there was no advantage to ths counter feiters then In keeping the secret. They had floated all the bonds they had made, and. so great bad the scare become that it was Impossible to float any bond of that Issue. "Ulrlchs picked out the bad bonds with absolute certainty. He pouted out the inevitable flaw that every , counterfeit has. The lower" border of the bad bonds was Just a shade higher than tbat of the good ones. This waa the only Imperfec tion, but it waa a test that did not fait "The forgery of the Morris and Essex bonds, which Brockway made, and for which Inspector Byrnes sent him to Sing Sing; was almost as nearly perfect Many of them were disposed of, but Brockway exhausted nearly all his resources in try ing to get free. . " ' ' "It was said that Brockway had se cured ' the government paper to print the counterfeits on. This Is not true. The paper waa made by Mrs. Abble Smith. She used 'onion leaf paper, which Is very thin and tough. She placed the strands of silk between the, two sheets, pasted them together, and ; subjected them to a tremendous pressure. The sheets were all right as to thickness, but they wouldn't stand the Water test. And then the silk strands were distributed too regularly. But when' the bUls were aged, and counterfeiters nearly always age their bills, the counterfeits were re markably, good.' , , ticuiara of the researches of French. -m .Ha HUM time ago in this column.

SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING So miraculous have become our bread making methods that we now convert a barrel of flour, weighing 19S pounds, into 388 loaves of bread weighing one pound each. That is better than making two blades of grass grow where one grew before. Tou are skeptical? Go to the factory In New Tork and see it done 196 pounds of flour converted into 388 pounds of bread, nearly two to one. The in creased weight ia water. After seeing the process you will ejaculate: "How sim-" pie! Wonder I did not think of that be fore!" . . Hero Is something else about bread tbat may surprise you: Loaves are now baked without crusts, to be used In the manu facture of sandwiches. This Is accom plished by a steaming pro eels the cook ing requiring one hour. The bread is very light and crisp, and remains so for days, even when exposed to ocean breesea. A recent test established this fact. One thousand sandwiches were made for an excursion party to Chicago, and such as were not eaten were returned to New Tork on the fourth day, when they were found to be quite as fresh aa when sent out of the hotel preparing them. The machines for making this crustless. bread will be sold only- to the national govern ment and eleemosynary Institutions. Pri vate enterprises, firms or corporations can purchase only the right to manufac ture. New Tork Press. Tobacco Flavoring. "A high position of which but little Is known, except to the trade," observed a prominent tobacco manufacturer,, "is what Is known as the 'fiavorer. the man who is responsible for the flavor of all the goods made and Who sees o it, that the flavor ia kept the same year In and year out, no matter where the .tobacco that goes In them 'comes" from, or the conditions under which it has grown. "Our company had bought up - and stored away enough tobacco to make up all our brands of smoking tobaccos and cigarettes for the4 year, when all of a sudden our storehouses were destroyed by fire, and our stock went out Of exist ence. There was no more tobacco being raised on similar soil, and being slightly different as far as seed and stem were concerned, the flavor was also different. "Here Is where the fiavorer comes in. By his art and skill he can make tobac co that grows on low lands taste and smell the same as that grown on high lands. He can make tobacco grown dur ing a dry season take the same flavor as that grown during a wet season.
