Mrs. JAMES K. Polk, who Is now eighty
one years of age, recently speaking of
the time when she was lady of the
White House, said that she enjoyed that
period of her life, and looked back upon
it after forty years with pleasure. She is
fond of recalling incidents of Mr.. Folks
administration, and is proud of his career.
She says she regards the annexation of
Texas and the results following the Mex
lean war, that is, the requirement of the
CALIFORNIA;, New Mexico and all those
Territories so rich in meneral ore, as
some of the most important events in the
history of this country. In fact, she
thought Mr.. Folks administration was
second to none, and she would not even
except the results obtained by Mr.. Jefer-
son. She says history is now proving
the advantages gained by these access
siOns, all due to Mr.. Folks administra-
ton.

The wealth of the Church of England,
in worldly, not spiritual, goods is just
now receiving considerable attention, but
speculation has not much upon which to
base itself, for the reason that no one
knows precisely what its income is, eX-

probably wisely, keep the knowledge Sc
curely to themselves. Some Of the most
valuable property In England belongs to

THIS danger of wearing next to theskin
articles of clothing dyed with substance
obtained from benzol and other products
of coal tar, has been declared many times
in letters from medical men, both in this
country and abroad, who have given in
stances of the i'll effects caused through
the absorption by the skin of these irri-
tating and poisonous compounds. Their
warnings are repeated and illustrated in
a case of exhibits sent to the Health Ex-
hibition in London by an authority on
skin diseases. In this case are speci-
mems of some of the beautiful aniline
colors, rOsaniline, magnets, violet red,
Bismarck violet, &c, and gloves and
stockings dyed with the substances by
which these hues are obtained that, In
cases coming under the treatment of the
exhibitor, had produced eruption on the
skin of women and children, and some
instances of a very severe character.

A PHYSICIAN Of long practice was re-
minded that we can judge Of a horses
years by his mouth, and asked why
some rules could not be laid down, in a
general way, for estimating the age of a
woman. The uncertainty is not alto
gether due to deceptive practices, accord
ing to his reply, but to the widely vary
ing effect of time on individuals. AS a
rule brunettes look older than blondes
of a corresponding age. AS no plump
ness and the lack of it, fat may be said
to increase the apparent age Of a girl
under twenty-five, and to lessen it in
woman over that; and the reason is that
slenderness Is girlish as long as it does
not produce wrinkles, while rotundity
keeps the skin taut and smooth. "In no
gathering of women, strangers to you,
could you guess the ages within five
years on the average" he added, "and in
half the instances you would be ten
years out Of the way. I know woman

A SUGGESTION has just been made for
the introduction of camels into theSouth
Of England as beasts of burden for farm
ers and others. For a number Of years
they have been in use in Australia, and
their docility and endurance in that
country are highly praised. Laden
separately, they take about 700 weight
each, but in a team they are able to draw
as much as a ton apiece. By the Aus
tralian squatters they are extensively
employed, and in districts where water
is scarce they are almost invaluable. The
price of a young camel is from $3.50 to
$3.50, and this sum is not deemed high by
the inhabitants Of the antipodes. The
chief objection to their introduction into
England is that the country is too wet,
and camels never get along well on wet
ground. After rain they are liable to
slip and become useless. Horses are
much terrified by their appearance.

TEE COINAGE of English money is car
ried on at the Royal Mint on Tower Hill.
Here are struck off the coins for the
whole British Empire and colonies, with
the exception of Australia; the latter
and the East Indies are supplied from
branch minis at Sydney, Melbourne, Cal
cutta and Bombay. The English mint
strikes also gold coin for Newfoundland;
silver coins for Newfoundland and Cana
da; bronze pence and half pence for Jer-
sey, and nickel coins for the West Indies.
Sovreigns were first issued on July 1,
1917; forms were introduced in 1849,
and the copper coinage were replaced by
bronze in 1860. The present standard
for the fneness of gold coins was estab-
hshed in the reign of Charles II. It is
not generally known that it is compul-
sorry for every person to "cut, break or
deface" any coin rendered to him in pay
ment which is below the current weight;
the person rendering it to bear the loss.
This law, however, is never enforced.

Mind Reading.

William A. Hovey, of the Electrical
Reriew, in an informal talk recently in
Boston, described some of the phe-
nomena connected with the subject of
mind-reading. so-called. He described
in detail many tests, or series of tests,
which had been made in search of light
on this subject, some by contact, and
others without, the latter on the whole
proving the most satisfactory. To the
question. what is the good of all this?
he could only answer by analogy, and
claimed that in the science of mind
reading we have reached point where
we know the fact, but don't know the
reason why. But eventually we shall
learn the laws under which these things
occur, and will also learn how to apply
them.--M Y. Post.
