The meeting in memory of President Gar

one of the most notable demonstrations of

Punched and Clipped Coin.

Punched and clipped coin seems to be
increasing rapidly, and it is already O
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 always prevailed TO a limited
extent. and, although it is wrong, il 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 OF
clipped for the sole object of gain.
Dealers generally would be pleased if a
law could be devised which would en-
able them to refuse mutilated coin with
out giving offense or losing customers
but It is doubtful If such law could be
devised. Something can be done, how
ever. TO abate the nuisance, If not to
abolish it; and 1t is the special province
Of business men 10 do l.. They should
not only decline 1t at their places of bust

other places. 1t is competent for Con-
gress TO pass an act prohibiting the cir
culation Of such coin as money, but
the government would be incompetent
unwise to make crime of what is
considered an Indifferent action. II
the business men in every community
would do their duty in the premises,
their example would be followed, and
mutilated coin would become scarce. -

deadly poison, and may frequently prove
a treach herous fondling if not carefully
watched, 1t is one of our most beauti-

The war In South Africa between the
Basutos and the English is likely TO di-
minish very materially the stock of os.
trich feathers of the world. Exactly
over the ground where the ostrich once
stalked the unbreeched Basuto now
hurls defiance at the English soldier.
But what Is curious about this strife,
and Its consequences, as far as feathers
60, fs that the Basuto country was the
region from whence the larger portion
OF the ostrich eggs were obtained. Os.
trich farmers further south bought
these eggs, hatched out the birds in more
civilized region, and raised them for
their plumage. The strangest thing,
however. Is where tho Anglo-Basuto

A Narrow Fscnun.

Fifty passengers were recently added
to the list of South American steamer
on voyage from q southern port to

been properly boxed and shipped, being
consigned TO the Geological gardens,

little jokers were brought to light, from
twelve to sixteen inches long, and an
inch and a half around, very agile and
showing fight. Thew got out Of the box
and ran over the decks and cordage. "A
campaign against them was organized
BY the officer on duty, who took very
active part until he was bitten in the
finger. The wounded officer was con
veyed on shore, where q surgeon treated
him by injecting q solution of diluted
ammonia into botn arms, as we'll es

Mr.. PARCEL, In the report of the New

important that dairy stock, from the

roughly and becomes wild and vicious
thereby, when it becomes a COW you
may expect the same, but II handled
carefully and treated with kindness,
when grown up she will be mild and
gentle. 1t may not always be SO, but Ia
general it Is. There have always been
many COWS spoiled by the person hav-
Ing the care of and milking them, by

(Which Is generally caused by pain),

holds up her milk, kicks back, and is
finally ruined. Never whip a COW for
kicking, If she does kick the milk pail
out of your hand and sometimes upset
and knock you, but be kind and gentle
with her, and milk her out with as lit
tie excitement as possible, and if she
gets over her kicking propensity IL will
be by mild and not by harsh treatment.
Never whip a COW because she kicks.
tor it will do no good, but viii do a
great deal of harm.
