The Coin Collecting Crnus.

ize double that sum- The cost OF rare
coins increases year by year, aud the in
crease in values during the past flye years
has been over 200 per cent. Coins must
not only be rare, but they must be in gooV-

''Whal are the leading specialties of the
United States collectors
Three -fourths OF the collectors Of this
country collect United States and colonial
coins, and the others collect miscellaneous
coins, ancient and modern, foreign and
United States. Some collect ouly certain
series, some only gold coins, some silver
and some only copper. My speciality is
copper cents. Its coins are the rarest to
be found in perfect condition, and the val
ues OF copper coins are more certain. 1t
is very hard to find fine specimens. The
cents and half cents have circulated to
such an extent that they have become
worn. dlsfigured, black and smooth, and
rare cents in good condition are thus very
costly.-Washinyton Cor. New York

Feathers in Flat Cars.

heard good story the other day pertain
ing to one of the best known railroad men in
the northwest. 1t seems when he first started
out in the business he was made station
agent. operator, ETC., at point n few miles
distant from Cincinnati. He was young,
verdant and exceedingly fresh for youth OF
his immature years. It was also the general
opinion that his knowledge Of the science Of
rfllroading was somewhat limited. So one
halmy spring afternoon it was determined to
make the test. Accordingly one of the
heaviest shippers Of tie town walked into the
ofiiee and solemnly inquired the tariff on
loose feathers shipped on fat cars.
A careful perlIsal Of the tariff sheets was
made in vain: but being anxious to oblige
the shipper be promptly wired to the general
freight agent of the road asking the rate,
And it was not until the emphatic, not to
say profane, answer Of the general freight
agent was received that the absurdity of the
thing dawned upon his mind. But it taught
him lesson that he has never forgotten to
this day.-Minneapolis Tribune.

find out whom the doctors select to at
tend them; that man shall be my physi-

But shun the man who habitually
speaks i'll of his professional brethren; he
is not a generous man, probably not a
just one. Shun also the man who has a
sure cure for every i'll, and is always ready
to promise that he can help you; who
boasts of his wonderful cures, and never
owns failure; who is always talking
about his cures, and telling what heavy
business he does. His stock in trade is
bluff and brag. And shun the positive
man, who has ready answer TO every
question, who can tell exactly what the
matter is, how it was caused, and what
the result will be. He knows too much

ago we met,
Before our hearts were shipwrecked. on the ocean

II my womans soul were stronger. if my heart

But dare not meet or greet thee, In the old

Until we meet in heaven, when tears have passed

wound say: Wasn't that nicel Wonder

repeat the words. By some accident the
material belonging to the exhibitorsexploded
and blew the whole establishment to pieces.
The roof of the house was blown off, the men
scattered and the bird was sent whirling
through the air. 1t was almost denuded of

and otherwise it was used badly. But it did

The Slav's Love of Music.

The Bohemian Dvorak relates in an au-
tobiographical sketch that in his country
every child must study music. The law
enacting this is old; il was once repealed,
but is in force again. Herein l consider
lies one great secret of the natural talent
for pusic in my country. Our national
tunes and chorals came. as it were, from
the very heart Of the people, and beautiful
things they were, intend some day
writing an oratorio into which ! shall
introduce some of these chorals. The
Slavs III! love music. They may work all
day in the fields, but they are always sing
ing, and the true musical spirit burns
bright within them. How they love the
dance, too! On Sunday, when church is
over, they begin their music and dancing,
and often keep it up without cessation till
early in the following morning. Each
village has its band Of eight or ten
musicians. Home Journal.

Ostrich Farming in Africa.

The chicken feathers are first plucked
at nine months old, and look only fit TO be
made into dusting brushes. In the second
year they are little like the ostrich
feathers of commerce, but stiff and mar
row, and it is not till the third year that
they have attained their full width and
softness. During the first two years the
male and female birds are alike; but at
each moltIng the male becomes darker.
until the plumage is all black, except the
wings and tail, which are white. In each
wing there are twenty-four long feathers.
During the breeding season the bill of the
male bird, the large scales on the fore
part of the leg, and sometimes the skin of
the head and neck, assume a deep rose
color. After good rain ostriches begin
TO make nests. At this time the male be-
comes savage and their booming is heard
in all directions. The bird initiates its
neck like a cobra, and gives three deep
roars, the two first short and staccato,
the third prolonged. Review.

Cen,ra, American Co.., rraBe.

Most of the coastwise traffic, the carry

production, to the various trading posts
along the shore, and the bringing back
fruits, rubber, sarsaparilla, palm nuts,
skins, and such other products as the In
dians gather in the forests lying eastward
from Trujillo, is done by the aid Of dories.
These are no more than canoes, followed
and hewn from Spanish cedar, mahogany

4 sadlr o,erworked word.

The word ''funny'' is sadly overwprked.
Just listen to the innumerable multitude
OF men and women who use it on all pos
sible occasions, Relate to them the last
minstrel joke, the particulars Of great
flood in China or some pathetic story Of
destitution and death, and their only re-
mark is: "Well, isn't that funnys" The
other day a gentleman walking down
Broadway caught up with an acquaint-
ance, TO whom he related the tragic death
Of mother and daughter in two different
railroad accidents on the same day and at
nearly the same hour. And all the reply
chat the human parrot could make was:

puller is gentle in her methods OF treat

Exercise for Heart Disease.

The mistake is frequently made Of ad-
visiny subjects of heart disease to keep
absolutely quiet. This is all wrong.
Exercise in moderation is beneficial, and
protracts the course of the disease. The
muscular substance of the heart, like all
other muscles, needs exercise, and must
have it. otherwise it cannot keep up its
nutrition to the highest point possible.
Indeed. Professor Oertel goes SO far as to
recommend mountain climbing as the best
form of exercise for these cases. 1t may
be that this is going little too far, but
there can he no question rs to the benefits
to be had from moderate exercise in this
class OF cases.-Globe- Democrat.
