For the five years ending with 1881
there were found in the river Thames, at
London, / 1856 human bodies, of which
sixty-eight were within the City district,
and 1878 within the Metropolitan. Re-
specting those found in the.City, the re-
suits of the Coroner's inquests were
twenty five verdicts of accidental death,
two of willfnl murder, and nine of sui
eide, while in thirty-two cases no opinion
was expressed as to the cause of death.
In the cases in the Metropolitan district
1904 verdicts of accidental death were
returned, eight of willful murder, and
112 of suicide, while in 500 cases an open
verdict was given-the total being ac-
counted for by no inquests being
thought requisite in certain cases.

AT Hillsboro, Texas, two men, named
Sam Watson and Sam Martin, hav; g
an old feud of long standing, agreed to
meet and settle it with pistols. All ar.
rangements having been made, the two
met in the open prairie near little
place called Itaska. Having come with

deliberately, and at the same time adj
vancing coolly toward his antagonist.
Finally, having got within close range,
Martin took close aim and sent "a bullet
through the body of Watson, who fell
on the prairie grass, but, nothing daunt-
ed, leveled his pistol again and sent a
ball crashing through the bones of his
antagonist. Watson soon died. Martin
attempted to escape, but was captured
and jailed.

Mr.. BRET HARTE, American Consul at
Glasgow, writes of recent visit to the
Island of Iona, where he saw the graves
of nineteen sailors, drowned by the
wreck of the American ship Guy Man
nering. December 1865. "The spot"
says Mr.. Harte, lis marked by two
rows of low granite pediments at the
head aud feet of the dead, supporting and
connected by an iron chain, which in
closes the whole space. This was done
by the order and at the expense of the
lord of the manor, the present Duke of
Argyll. The locality is picturesque and
historical. The graves of the Amer
lean seamen lie side by side with the
tombs and sculptured effigies of ancient
Scottish Kings. A record of the names,
ages and burial of these men is kept by
the Registrar of the district, but there
is no memorial upon the stone inclosure.
The fact of their burial there, and the
generosity of the distinguished noble
man, is learned only from the lips of
hired guides" The State Department
at Washington has directed that the
Duke be thanked for his generosity.

The Wear on Gold.

The depreciation in value by the wear
of circulation of the gold coinage OF En-
gland is there exciting some discussion,
and it has stimulated Mr.. John Biddulph
Martin, of Lombard street, to make an
extensive investigation. He sent for In.
formation to every bank, to some four
teen railways, to fifty postoffices, and to a
number of large wage-paying firms, and
he received 1892 returns. 1t was
found that gold coins minted anterior to
1910 are now very scarce. The most
important fact established was that
most of the gold now in circulation Is
more or less light in weight. Upon the
total number of the coins of each year
since 1917 in circulation there is o
weight deficiency of "a, 900, 100 grains.
The mean loss of weight per coin
through the wear of circulation is
0. 1926 grains. Mr.. Martin estimates
the loss on light gold at Ell 12s per
1000 sovereigns; the postotfice finds
it to be actually g12 los. On light half
sovereigns the loss is much greater,
ranging in actual expense from Ell 6s
to go los on 200 worth. Thus the
coin of the realm is in very bad way.
Individuals bear the loss and not the
nation at large, the only loss of the
nation being the $4,000 depreciation
sustained by the postoffice. The brunt
falls upon the bankers, who do their ut
most to avoid paying for the recoinage
of sovereigns and half-sovereigns, and
are heavily loaded with coin for which
they can find little or no use. Their
plan has been to send down large
amounts of worn coin to provincial CEN
tiers of business, where they sell it to
local bankers against ten or fifteen days
draft on London. The bankers put out
the coin among their wage-paying GUS
toners. The London banker loses his
fortnightly interest on the money rather
than incur the loss of sending the c,'in
into the Bank of England to be clipped.
Mr.. Martin proposes that the state
should undertake the task and expense
of putting the gold currency upon its
proper footing and of keeping it there.
The first expense would be ESQ, 600.
The average life of a sovereign is 17.9
years, and of half.sovereign IL. 6 years.
Mr.. Martin suggests that an allowance
Of one grain on every sovereign OF 20
years old and of half a grain on every
sovereign of 10 years old, should be made
at the expense of the state on the light
currency now in existense, leaving the
individual to bear the loss on light
coins of later date. He also suggests
the use of f1 notes.-NesO York Times.

like cloud was observed coming across
the country half mile south of this
village. After it had passed out over
the lake other clouds of ominous black
ness were seen moving with great rapid
ity toward one point; here and there the
water of the lake was torn up in great
patches and dashed into the finest spray.
AS the clouds met, large cone, as black
as Jet, projected downward toward the
water, which was boiling and seething
in terrific fury. But few seconds
elapsed before the water and clouds met,
and then what every school child has
seen portrayed in his geography was
seen here in all its grandeur. Resting
upon the lake was a perfect cone of
water, and resting upon this an inverted
cone of cloud. With what force the
water was drawn up through that mys-
terious spout can ouly be judged by the
foam and spray which filled the air on
every side. The spectacle lasted about
ten minutes, and then the clouds grad
ually lifted, and in short time all was
serene. The storm, which reached its

Bacon issued an order commanding
the members of the Council to appear
before him, and while he waited he

Scarcely knowing what he did, he thrust
himself before Bacon, and, barring his
breast, cried "Here Shoot me
Fore God, fair mark Shoot"
Bacon stepped back, resting one hand
on his sheathed sword, and respectfully
holding his hat in the other. Simply,
and with cool politeness, he said to the
frantic Governor: "No; may it please
your Honor, we will not hurt q hair Of
your head. We have come for q COM
mission to save our lives from the In
dams, and" he added, with less calm
ness, 1--WE shall have il before we CO."
Sir William said nothing, but turned
and walked away. The next day Bacon
received his commission, granting him
the right tn 60 against the Indians
whenever he might choose.
But when Bacon next attacked the
savages, the Governor denounced him
again as a traitor; and, when Bacon
heard of it, he replied: "We will go see
why he calls us traitors :" to which his
men all shouted "Amen I" But, when
Berkeley found that the man he had
called traitor was coming back to
jamestown, he fed, and tried to rally a
few followers to support him against his
enemy. These friends having come to-
gether, as soon as he began to speak,
cried, Bacon Bacon! Bacon I" and
refused to listen. All this and great
deal more is related in the full history

struction of what to him had been lit

completely destroy the little settlement;
the people then dispersed, and in pro-
cess of time built new houses for them

the place was very unhealthy.
In this expedition Bacon brought on

that the sales.of wheat in New York,
within the first quarter of 1882, amount

total receipts in that market, in the same

The sultem ,,s eI,e East.


There was Sultan OF the East
Who used TO ride stubborn beast;
A marvel OF the donkey-kind,
That much perpIexed his owners mind
BY turns he moved . rod ahead,
Then backed rod or 90 instead.
And thus the day would pass around,
The Sultan gaining little ground.
The servants on before would stray
And pitch their tents beside the way,
Aud pas the time ~ best they might
Until their master hove In sight,
The Sultan many methods tried;
He clicked and eoaxed aud spurs applied,
And stripped Q dozen tree, 1T least
OF branches to per. usde the beast
But all his efforts went for nxught;
No reformation could be wrought
At length before the pa ace gate
He cal ed the Wise men OF the state,
And babe them now their skill display
BY iudinR where The trouble lay.
With solemn looks and thoughts profound,
The men OF learning gathered round.
The beast was measured DER with care;
They proved him by the plumb and square,
The compass to his ribs applied,
And every joint by rule was tried;
But nothing could the doctors find
To prove he differed from his kind.
Said they: "Your Highnessl 1t appears
The beast Ia sound from hoof TO ears;
No outward blemi-hes we see
To limit action fair and free.
In view of this, the fact is plain
The mischief lies within the BRAIN
Now, we suggest, TO stop his tricks,
A sail upon his back yo7 hx,
OF goodly size 70 catch the breeze,
And urge him forward whore you please"
The Sultan well their wisdom praised,
Two masts upon the beast were raised,
And, schooner-rigged from head to tail
With halliards, sp ,nker, boom and sail,
In proper shape equipped was he,
AS though designed to sail the seal
And when the Sultan next bestrode
That beast upon . lengthy road,
With fsvoring winds that whistled strong
Aud swiftly urged the craft along,
The people cleared the track with speed;
And old and young alike agreed

From sde TO side the province round.
