Punched and Ciipped Coin

Punched and clipped coin seems to be
increasing rapidly, and it is already
source OF vexation to many, and of loss
to small dealers. The practice of drill
ing pieces of coin as playthings for chill
dren has a ways prevailed TO q limited
extent, and, although it is wrong, it is
not done with wrong intent, and the
number of pieces drilled for this purpose
is insignificant in comparison with the
number which are drilled. punched or
clipped for the sole object of gain.
Dealers generally would be pleased if
law could be devised which would en-
able them to refuse mutilated coin with
out giving otfense or losing customers;
but it is doubtful if such law could he
devised. Something can be done, how
ever, to abate the nuisance # not to
abolish it; and it is the special province
OF business men TO do it. They should
not only decline it at their places OF bust
ness. but they should refuse 1t in the
saloon, the restaurant, the cigar store.
the street car, the m .rket, and in all
other places. 1t is competent for Con-
gress 10 pass an act prohibiting the cir
culation of such coin AS money, but
the government would be incompetent
to enforce the law, and it woul1 be
unwise to make crime of what is
considered an indifferent action. If
the business men in every community
would do their duty in the premises,
their example would be followed, and
mutilated coin would become scarce

How TenOr's Voice Saved a Man,

Paris Gallignani tells good story of
the tenor Duchesne, who was the hero
of an incident during the fighting at
Chateaudun, the anniversary of the de-
tense of which place has just been cele-
brated. 1t was ten at night; the Paris
Franc-tireurs, who had been fighting
all day against odds of twenty to one.
were retreating. The Prussians were
masters of the town, which was lighted
up by the burning houses. Eleven
wounded Franc-tireurs, abandoned in
the Hotel de Vile, had fallen into the
hands OF the enemy and were in danger
of being executed. Among them was
Duchesne the lyric artist. They were
all searched and their papers exam ned
by a Prussian captain, who, in looking
through Duchesne's portfolio, came
across a paper containing the names of
nl.mber of operas. What is thisF''
he asked. "It is the list of operas
sing" Among Others was the name OF
Weber's great work. "Ah," returned
the captain, who was musician, "you
ale an opera singer, and have sung in
Der Freischutz'' " here was thatP',
"Ir Paris, at the Theater Lyrique.'
"Then must have heard you; you
sang with one of our countrywomen,
Mile Schroeder, did you notP" "That
is so The captain appeared to reflect
he drew Duchesne aside, and then while
passing through narrow street, said
run for your life." Duchesne did not
wait to be told second time; although
