The Wear Of Gold Coin.

1t Is estimated that the average
weekly depreciation Of the $1,000, 600
in gold held by the Boston banks |
nesrly $500, or say SIG, 900 per annum,
the circulation being made on the
recognized basis that gold coin in use
actually loses five.hundredth of its
weight in year. The coin is packed
in bags of $1,000 each. These bags are
passed from bank to bank, and the con.
stant friction which is made in handling
and weighing wears away the edges and
faces OF the coin, so that sooner or later
q bag falls short in weight, and valuable
time as we'll as money Is lost in deter
mining which bank shall make good
the deficiency, the labels attached to
each parcel, on which appears the
names of the banks through which the
bag has passed, being the only means to
aid in fixing upon the responsible
party. The treasury department has
refused to issue gold certificates for
large amounts, on the ground that it
would occasion trouble and expense for
the government. Other expedients pro-
posed are-the appointment Of an insti.
tuition, not chartered by the United
States, as a gold depository for the ma
tional banks, the interchange Of certif-
Gates among the banks, and the estab.
hshment OF the clearing house as de-
pository. There are objections TO each
plan, and another-the division OF the
burden among FIVE or six banks-is the
one which may be temporarily adopted
until Congress shall apply permanent
remedy. The packing Of the coin in
bags is conventional way, and it does
not reflect much credit on the inventive
faculties Of bank officers that they have
not thought out better way. II the
coin were packed in boxes fitted with
grooves in which the pieces would lie
close and so confined that they would
not move in course Of transportation,
and these grooves were made SO that
they could be lifted out, with their con-
tents, the loss from friction in tumbling
around the bags and pouring out the
coin as though it was sugar would be
very much reduced.

The Editor and the smallpox Doctor.

The Editor md the Smallpox Doctor.
1t was nearly noon, and the city edi-
tor in his sanctum was putting the
finishing touches to the assignment

Inter Ocean local room we're qrimly
pondering as to what choice bits Of
work would fall to them when the Gus
tomary "Book ready, gentlemen"
should be heard.
The city editor had just decided that
the church reporter needed little re-
Taxation, and booked him for a dog
fight, when, in response to rap on the
door, he calculated in his blsndest
tones, "Come."
The knocker came, and proved to be

"How do? and the greeting being re-.

Doctors Among the Beers.

There is no man Boer has greater
reverence for than doctor, yet those
In the Transvaal are mostly unqualified
practitioners or quacks of the most su-
dacious kind. But he will drive miles
to fetch one Of those fellows, and hand
over the fee with groin, without a
thought Of disputing it. The rapacity
OF these practitioners is incredible. Not
many months ago Boer living on the
highroad to Pretoria called in local
doctor to attend his wife. Everything
passed off quite satisfactorily and the
doctor asked as his fee a75O, and got it.
As the Boer said, ait was a very dear
baby" And this man had only driven
some eight miles to the farm.
A more amusing incident happened
when another doctor was called upon
by Boer, with an urgent request that
he would come out to his farm to az.
tend sick man.
How far is the farm? ?" asked the
medical man.
"About twenty miles,"
Twenty miles-twenty pounds. A
pound mile" To which the Boer
agreed, and went away to fetch his
spider" On returning he found his
friend little tho worse for liquor. but
thinking the effects would soon pass
off he took him up and they drove
away. After.going some few hundred
yards the doctor laid his hands on the
reins. stretching one out and hiccup.
ng-
Zone mile-one pound"
The Boer, willing to humor him, gave
him pound and drove on again; but
before half the previous distance was
done the trap was again stopped, and
the hand poked out under the drivers
nose
"Two miles-two pounds" This was
too much even for Boer, and he turned
and drove back, doing as best he could
without advice.
l know third case, where a doctor
attending q patient called at the house
ninet een times IN one day, asking for
his fee at each visit, and managing the
business by calling at the front door.
leaving through the kitchen, and going
rould to the front again. But then he
was bit drunk too.
The fees are given in written promises
to pay, called "goo1 fors," as Beers
seldom keep sums OF money In their
houses; and these "good-fors' are
readily taken at any store where the
8oer is in the habit of trading, the
storekeeper knowing that they will be
taken up when the man comes in to sell
his produce. -Biaot,oood.

| How a Process.Server was Forced to Ear

At the usual fortnightly petty session

and man named Sena were charged
| with having murderously assaulted q

to serve on the tenants of Mr.. Scally.
The writs were for rent due. In the

The Pocket Photographic Instrument.

Have you heard of the instantaneous
Photographic instrument? ? asks New
York correspondent. Il is q great in
vention. The instrument is no larger
than well-flled pocketbook, yet it is
so complete that every man can be his
own photographer without any trouble.
The process OF taking the picture Is as
simple as writing. You simply hold
the instrument before the object to be
taken and there it is. l believe the
policemen of London are armed with
them, and they fash their camera on
rogue with as much ease as you would

an object is moving, il can be taken. /

claims that they will be the reporters
notebook Of the future. For example,
he is writing an article on the Brooklyn
bridge, and as he writes he uses his
camera. When he goes home he de-
velops his plates, and coADe4aently has
q correct picture OF the scene before
him. Indeed, he mover goes out OF the
house without his instrument 10 his
pocket, and he keeps his friends sup
piled with pictures. am little afraid
OF the abuse of this invention. An un-
principled rascal seeing pretty girl on
the avenue can whip out his camera and
