Family Relics in the Melting.POt.

SIN the old days" said Col. Snowden,
Disappointment of the Philadelphia
Mint. "heaps of family silver used to come
to the mint to be melted down, from peo-
pie who had met with financial reverses.
During the last days of my incumbency of
the Office of superintendent. much less
used to come than formerly, because plated
ware had come into general use. re-
member once that gentleman, very we'll
known in Philadelphia society. brought
me q splendid design in silver, that he de-
sired to have reduced. 1t was a gift to
his wife on their wedding. and the thought
of parting with it was very painful to him.
1t had cost, probably, $4,000 but there
was not more than $500 worth of bullion
Instead of melting it at once, | advanced
him the money tor six months, and allowed
the design to remain in the vaults. At the
end of that time agreed to keep it IN
tact for six months more. At the con-
summation of the second period. he saw
me and said that he could not see daylight
yet. and the bridal gift went into the
milting-pot Three weeks after that he
dropped in on me to say that fortune had
smiled on him again. and that he had
made $4,000. He said he would have
given half of it to get his silver back in
its old form. Vain regrets, of course.

Rather Hard.

OF an iron egg in the Berlin Museum
the following story is told: Many years
ago prince became affianced to lovely
princess. to whom he promised to send a
magnificent gift as testimonial of his
affection In due time the messenger ar
rived, bringing the promised gift, which
proved to be an iron egg. The princess
was so angry to think the prince should
send her SO valueless present that she
threw it on the floor, when the iron egg
opened. disclosing silver lining. Sur
prised at such a discovery, she took the
egg in her hand, and while examining it
closely discovered a secret spring, which
she touched, and the silver lining opened,
disclosing golden yolk. Examining it
closely, she found another spring. which
opened. disclosing within the golden yolk
ruby crown. Subecting that to an ex-
animation, she touched a spring and forth
came the diamond ring with which he
affianced her to himself.

A House on Legs.

A number of years ago party OF Eng
lish naturalists, with several native al
pendants, penetrated a previously unex
plored portion of India for the purpose OF
establishing stations, and eventually open
inc up country very rich in natural ad-
vantages. Upon reaching suitable spot,
the workmen commenced their task OF
erecting a substantial building. 1t was
necessary to have large cellar and deep
excavation was made.
The earth was dry and sandy. and was
worked with ease. The absence OF large
stones was noticed; indeed, there was
found no hard substance that would have
interested a geologist. But late in the
afternoon OF the first DAYS work, one OF
the natives struck his pick against resist
ing substance Another blow, and the
implement broke through into hollow
space. The earth being scraped away,
large smooth object wss exposed, OF so
strange an appearance that the attention
of the commanding officer was called TO it.
He at once pronounced 1t oone.
The fact that they had come upon the
grave of a strange animal created great
excitement, and all hands went to work
clearing away the sand As they pro-
crossed, their wonder and amazement in
creased also; their discovery began to
assume the shape of dome, and ap-
peared to be rounded of. Finally, when
four feet or more of sand, had been cleared
away. they saw hut-shaped object that
seemed through the hole made by the pick
to be partly hollow. The natives one and
all thereupon declared it hut, or house,
built by some of their ancestors, that had
in course of time been covered by the
earth Others thought it one of the dwell
ing places OF strange people who lived
under the earth; but to the English natu-
ralists there was more simple explana-
ton, for the curious house was the she'll
of gigantic turtle belonging to an age
long past. The work progressed rapidly |;
and though when exposed to the sun some
parts broke in pieces, the entire she'll was
successfully uncovered and a complete
restoration of it was made.
The shell was that of land-tortoise.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago it
had lived and died and the dust, sand,
and vegetation and gradually covered it
up and preserved it as monument OF the
animal wonders of that ancient time.
So enormous was the she'll that when
the sand and dirt were removed, several
of the men crawled into it; in fact, it
might have been used as a house, and on
subsequent occasion was so used by a
party which took refuge in 1t during a
sudden Showcase. Nicholas.
