The sending of Dan Wyatt McLease to the penitentiary by the United States dis- trict court for counterfeiting has started the tongue of reminiscence to relating par- ticulars of the most noted counterfeiting case known to the penal annals of north- western Kentucky, namely, that of Jacob ard Nancy Sprinkle, who were indicted jointly at the October term of the Lewis circuit court in 1840. This case attracted sensational interest at the time, as there were thousands of the “Sprinkle dollars’’ in circulation, which, though known to be counterfeit, nevertheless were received without question or protest in facilitating exchanges throughout a broad territory. The “Sprinkle dollar’ occupies a unique pesition in the history of counterfeiting, as it was, perhaps, the only iliegal dollar ever minted that was “too good.” ‘thé “sprinkle dollar” had a larger portion of sliver in it in relation to its ailoy than the dollar that came through Uncle Sam's fingers. ‘The well-known fact that the “sprinkle doilar” had a higher bullion value than the genuine possessed helped to retain it unquestioned in the circulauon of tnis and‘aqjoin.ng counties. ‘his tact Was aiso potent in screening Jacob Sprin- kle from the legal consequences of his acts. Hundreds only sympathized with him, and the most exacting ror a long time winked at his transgressions. Many peopie beueved that as long as the Sprinkle douar contained the same or a greater proportion of silver than did the coin from the government mint they were doing no wrongtul act, either in law or morals. They believed that counterfeiting consisted im deceiving and cheating with a base metal resembling silver. Jacob Sprin- kle beneved this himseit for a long while, and was disillusioned only after a grand jury had indicted him. So numerous did these dollars become finally that a man, when receiving money from another, would aiways examine it to see how much of it consisted of Sprinkle doilars. If it should ali consist of Sprinkle money it would cail forth only*seme jocular remark as the receiver pocketed the jingling coin. To show how far the tame of the Sprinkle aoliars spread, the foilowing anecdote may suttic -major Henry McDowell In 1840 took pas- sage on a steamer at Cincinnati for St. Louis. When purchasing his ticket he pulled out the amount of the fare and handed it to the cierk The clerk examined the money a second, and then, with a jaugh, exclaimed ‘Sprinkle money “LUs ail right, isn’t it?” queried the ma- 1 wish I had a million dollars like ’em. On the day the grand jury returned in- tments against Sprinkle and his wife yvage Walker iteed, who then presided as judge, pulled a handful of money from his pecket and sai “i defy the United States to produce from their mints dollars as good as these 4 hold in my hand.” Sprinkle lived tn a cabin on a small tribu- tary of the Kiuniconick, five miles south- east of Vancepurg. ‘There he worked, menth in and month out, coining his money, which soon found its way into local commerce. Now, where did he get the bullion out of whk.ch his coins were made? Could the writer answer this question he would re- veal @ secret that hundreds have tried to fathom. Hundreds of picks have risen and falien among the hills of Kinniconick in a futile endeavor to crack the hull of this secret. ‘hat his ore came from some place in the Lewis county hills Sprinkle aid not hesitate to confess, but the exact jocation is @ secret that died with him. He frequently made the statement tnat he would at some time tell where his treas- ure was located, but after he was indicted he got angry and vowed that an ungrate- ful public should never persecute him and then enjoy the benefits of his discovery. When the sheriff, Larkin Lyles, and a party went out to arrest Sprinkle, after he was indicted, they found that his home consisted of two log cabins, situated a few yards from each other. They search- ed diligently through each house w. dis cever the dles and other instruments Lec essary in his work, but found nothing. tambiing about in the open space I tween the two houses the ground suddenly gave way, and the men dropped into a subterranean chamber ten feet below the surface. There, after removing much de- bris, the utensils used in the trade were discovered. Sprinkle and his wife, Nancy, were taken to the county seat, but at on were ad- mitted to bail. They had the sympathy of the judge, and the popular gentiment in their favor was all but universal. At the next term of court, when the case was called, a death certificate from a doctor was offered, showing that Sprinkle had gone to his long home. Ii was untrue, of course. He died in California in 1860, and with him the secret that so many ‘hav. tolled to fathom. 2 = ee A Magician’s Hands. From the Springfield Republican, Herrmann was a born magician. He not only mystified and entertained by the as- tonishing dexterity with which he execut- ed his remarkable feats, but charmed his audiences by his graceful manner and the singular magnetism of his personality. Not only was he a magician, but a come- dian of a high order. His success lay largely in the perfection of his skill as a manipulator. His hands were trained to @ marvelous state of responsiveness, and he was primarily a juggler, deceiving the eye by diverting attention from the imove- ments that might reveal the mysiery, while he performed almost impossible feats with the hands and fingers. It was in the mastery of this simple work that his strength as a performer lay, although he elaborated them with paraphernalia ond stage effects. He was continually ciabo- rating old tricks with new adaptations. Herrmann’s ability to handle cards was wonderful. Not only was he master of the ordinary tricks of causing cards to dis- appear and reappear; to find packs con- cealed beneath vests, under hat bands, but he could distribute an entire deck of fifty-two cards all over a theater. This he did with such marvelous accuracy in Boston in 1886 or 1887 that a spiritualistic society made the feat a subject of dis- cussion, and Herrmann was made an hon- orary member without his knowledge or consent. What he did was to throw m between thumb and forefinger a card and cause it to land on the rail of the top gal- lery. The second card would fall within a few feet of it, and the third within a few feet of that, and so on throughout the house, until the entire pack had been dis- tributed. It was claimed by the spiritual- ists that this could not possibly have been accomplished without supernatural aid. By long practice Herrmann was able to tear a deck of fifty-two cards longitudifally in half, as straight as though cut with a knife. He would take these rectangular halves and divide them again into strips, using only his thumbs and forefingers to do the work. ———_+e+____ He Guessed the Sex. From St. James’ Gazette.

NEW_AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT TO THE LAT- EST EDITION OF THE ‘ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA; A STANDARD WORK OF REF ERENCE IN ART, SCIENCE, HISTORY, GE- OGRAPHY, COMMERCE, BIOGRAPHY, DIS- COVERY AND INVENTION. Ealted under the personal supervision of Day Otis Kellogg, D.D.. formerly professor of English Literature and History, Kansas State University, ete. ete. In five volumes: Vols. I, II and Hl.’ New York: ‘The Werner Company. The aims of this work, as stated in the introduction, are “to supplement the Bri- tannica as to bring all the developments of history, discovery, arts and scleaces down to date; to extend biography as to include living men of distinction; to enlarge the view of American interests, and to supply references to the original text; making the whole work available for easy consulta- tion.” Thus this is not only an independ- ent reference book of exceptional value in that it contains recent facts and informa- tion, but it is also an index to the vast store of knowledge comtained in the earlier editions of the great work of which it is a supplement. Therefore it has a place of its own and a doubie va'ue to the possessers of earlier editions of the Britannica. The list of contributors to the supplement is large and cortains some of the foremost names in American literature, science and art. One of ihe distinctive plans for the work has been a system of treating sub- jects by departments, iso ‘that large groups. have passed under the eharge of special- ists. Among these are the following: C. i H. Cochrane, M. E., mechanisms; Dr. John M. Coulter, botany; @ Mercer Adam, lit- erary biography, Carrot! D. Wright and Dr. John M. Finley, «sociology; Secretary John Sherman, United States finances; John Bach McMaster, political organiza- tions; Dr. W. A. Locy, zoology; Dr. Alex- ander Smith, chemistry; Dr. S. W. Strat- ton, electricity; Dr. B. A. Hinsdale, educa- tion, and Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, advance- ment of women. Mechanically the work is excellent. The print is large and plain, and the good quality of paper used affords a good effect. The text is accompanied by over fifteen hundred portraits and other illustrations, carefully indexed in each vol- ume. The general index will appear as part of the fifth and last yolume.

Spofford. Boston: Curtis and’ Cameron. The new Congressional Library building is virtually a gallery of art. So replete are its walls with artistic productions of all sorts that the visitor who desires more than a mere glimpse of the beauties, a knowledge of their meaning and source, needs a guide to give the interpretations, the titles and the names of painters and sculptors. There is materfal in this mag- nificent structure, indeed, for days of study, and without me such volume as that which has just appeared this study would fail of its best effect. It is more than a mere catalogue of the various frescoes, mosaics, bronzes, statues and panels that are scattered through the vast pile. It is a well-written description of the whole en- terprise, together with ‘its library func- tions, as outlined by Mr. Spofford. The work is done so handsomely that the book becomes a neat souvenir after it has served its purpose as an index to the points of in- terest about the library, ON THE CANADIAN ROCKI AN T OF CAMP LIFE IN ‘THE WILDER PALES OF N ROCKY MOUN- TAL A DESCRIPTION BANFP, LAKE Ho CAMPING eo tall-page ttuions 11 Yok: G.

From the New York Sun. Prussia is about to increase~ the total amount that she pays her officials by al- most $5,000,000 a year. Part of the increase will benefit the university professors, who are Prussian state officials. The regular professors in Berlin University, for in- stance, will have their salaries raised about $200 each a year; the average professorial salary will then be $1,600 a year in Berlin and $1,400 a year in other Prussian univer- sity towns. That seems a rather low figure when one remembers that Berlin Univer- sity has had in the last twenty years such instructors as Preitschke, Virchow, Helm- holtz, Bergmann, Wagner and Dubois Rey- mond, and a dozen others whose names are 28 familiar to the educated in Tokio, Cairo and Cape Town as they are to the students of San Francisco, Chicago and New York. To be sure, a professor has 50 to 100 at- tendants at each of his lecture courses, and from every one, with an occasional excep- tion, he collects from $5 to $20 lecture money a term, but he is allowed to keep but a little more than half the money thus earned. Probably only a very famous and a very popular professor is able to profit more than $1,000 a year from,the student fees in his own lecture courses. Yet a regular professor's chair in a Ger- man university 1s a much coveted place. Thousands of men strive for the salaries that appear so meager even to the eyes of. the American used to German conditions of life. Young men of many talents and in- ternational reputation cling to the univer- sities for years, supported only by the wretched earnings that fall to tutors, in the mere hope.of some time reaching that haven and heaven ef bonor and dignity known as a regular professorship. A tutor of this turn of min@ lives a life of self- denial without mang: parajlels among men of his class. He has one room, takes only unbuttered rolls and coffee for breakfast, only coffee for lunchson,and only a slice of meat and a taste of :vegetables id coffee for dinner. He crowds: his daily wants down to the point fust tRis side of absolute want, rarely spendimg more than $200 a year, and wearing, seasom after season, the same sult of clothes, with the same amaz- ing style of hat. ‘When the tutor besomes an “extra” fessor he may affordsa suit a year, a pro- slice of meat with his luncheon and two slices with dinner, but not much more, save that he moves into a little flat and puts a brass plate on the door. As a full-fledged profes- sor his ideal of luxury is realized in an eight-room flat, and all he cares to eat of his favorite dishes, which, with the train- ing he has had in his tutor days, it is safe to say are never expensive. He never as- pires to keeping a horse or taking his family or himself to the seashore or moun- tains, that is, if he be dependent on his own resources. Some professors, who gain their dignity when young, marry rich wives, and then the wide, wide world, with all its lux- uries, yawns for them as it does for men with rich wives anywhere else on the globe. For the ordinary professor studying and walking and lecturing are the glad diversions of a life that has reached the acme of human contentment. o+—-—_ Largest Book in the World.

It consists of 729 parts in the shape of white marble plates, covered with inscriptions, each plate built with a temple of brick. It is found near the old priest city of Man- dalay, in Burmah, and this temple city of more than 700 pagedas virtually makes up this monster book—the religious codex of the Buddhists. It is written in Pali. Rath- er strange to say, it is not an ancient pro- duction, but its preparation was prompted by. the Buddhistic party of this century. It Was erected in 1857 by the command of Mindomin, the second of the last kings of Burmah. A noteworthy contrast to the Kuth Daw is furnished by a recent German literary journal, describing what is prob- ably the smallest book in the world. This is a Konversations Lexikon, published in Berlin, and prepared by Daniel Sanders. The volume occupies the space of only six. cubic _centimeters—0.366 cubic inch though it is claimed to contain 1 words. The book must be read through microscope especially prepared for it. —e+-— Her Last Resort.
