the water lust suits their tastes they will not
stay. One kind, blind species, lives in the
Mammoth Cave another burrows in the leyees
on the Mississippi doing much damage; but
the majority live in the clear springs or brooks
that are so common near large rivers

favorite stream near Washington and watched
the busy fellows, and my
INTEREST NEVER FLAGGED,
for I was always learning something new about
their habits They lurk in dark corners, ready
to seize upon any unsuspeCting creature that
has the misfortune to pass near them. The old
crawfish, as they swim about, look clumsy and
unbalanced, for their two large claws seem
grievously in the way They often leave the
dark corners and venture into the open water,
carrying their large claws awkwardly in front
and slowly creeping along, If two Of them
meet they fight as a matter of course, Just as
two hostile knights would have done in the
dark ages. They fence with the large claws,
parry make thrusts and try their utmost to
iniure one another. At times they seem to be
shaking hands, but upon close inspection it will
be found to be nothing but test Of strength.
The object Of the grasp is to crush the claw OF
the other. But unless one is great deal larger
than the other this is never accomplished 1t
! is very amusing to watch the motions of their
eyes, which are stalked and movable. During
the contest the eyes are eagerly pushed forward,
| but II large claw comes TOO near the eyes
| spring back into the sockets as if they were on
| the end of an elastic stalk. Although / have
watched scores of combats, have never seen a
single eye injured. Often one gets hold Of one
! Of the small claws then with a sudden flap OF
| the tail the cruel fellow darts backward and
| takes the small claw with him. They usually
| fight till they get tired, then of one accord de-
! part Place your hand in the water near them
and they are off like a flash, sailing down
stream by quick flaps of the tail. If you place
! a net behind them the stupid creatures dart
! back into it.

Picking Up tho Rare Coins.

'Do you know what q good many
bank tellers and men who handle large
amounts of gold and silver coins do at
the close of the day2" queried a former
clerk.
Go home, probably"
eyes, but not until they have looked
through their metal cash for rare coins"
'EDo they ever find any2"
Certainly they do, sometimes, though
not very often. 1t is a lottery. The fact
that some of the rarest of American coins
nave been picked up in ordinary ~circula-
ton keeps their eyes peeled. They know
values pretty we'll. and the sanguine
the missing dollars of 1904, which ave
worth 5000 each. In fact, as high as
$500 has been offered and refused. The
half dollar of 1852, representing Liberty
seated, is in circulation. 1t is worth
$1.75. The quarter of 1858, without
rays, is occasionally met. 1t brings So.
Among silver dollars of recent coinage
the 1858 dollar, representing Liberty
seated, is the most valuable. 1t is worth
$15. So is the same coin of 1889. Both
are in circulation. The twenty cent piece
of 1877 is worth $3.50, and of 1878,
$1.25. They are to be met, though
rarely. The valuable dimes and half
dimes were all coined before 1916. The
silver three cen piece of 1873, with the
large star, brings sixty cents; the copper
two cent piece of the anne year is worth
the same. The flying eagle cent of 1856
sells for 81. All the gold coins coined
prior to 1888 command premiums. Chi

cat the battle of Borodino Napoleon
did not attack anybody or kill anybody.
That duty was performed by his soldiers.
He did not do any killing himself. The
soldiers OF the French army, in going to
the battle of Borodino to kill Russian sol
diers, were obeying, not Napoleon's or
ders, but their WI impulses. The
whole army of French, Italians, Ger
mans, Poles, famished and in rags,
worn out by the campaign, felt at
sight of the Russian army barring the
road to Moscow that the wine was I'M
corked and they had only to rush in and
drink. If at this Napoleon had forbid
den them to fight the Russians, they
would have killed him and given battle;
for to them n battle was necessary. When
they heard the proclamations of Napoleon,
which, in exchange for wounds and
death, offered them as q consolation the
homage of posterity, and proclaimed as
heroes those who showed fight through
the Muscovite campaign, they cried,
'Vive lEmpereurr as they cried 'Vive
rEmpereur' at sight of the child holding
the terrestrial globe at the end of a bilbo-
quet stick; and they would have re.
sponded with the same vivat to any non
sense proffered to them. There was
nothing better for them to do than to
cry 'Vive l'Empereurr and fight in order
to reach Moscow, food, repose and vic
tory. 1t vas not at Napoleon's order
that they undertook to kill their fellow

Russian Campaign"

in the interest of his company, the Chi
cago and Wyoming Oil and Mining com
pany.
NJ. NJ. Neeves, of the Ogalalla Refec,
tor, who has made a tour of Eastern
Wyoming, left for his home last night.
He is deeply impressed with the tact that
Wyomlng's extraordinary mineral wealth
will soon place it in the foremost rank
of the Western states.
r. Y. Hardin, the register of the Bui-
falo land office, leaves this morning for
Omaha, where he will meet Judge j. j.
Orr, tho new receiver, who expects to
reach there by Sunday. The gentlemen
will at once arrange to secure necessary
Office fixtures. Upon their return here a
notice will be published for four weeks to
the effect that no further land business
will be received from either johnson or
Crook counties, at the end of which time
the new Buffalo Office will be opened.

l was singing at an afternoon party,
and I was the only professional there.
A little boy played the violin. 1 remarked
to my hostess that the boy showed
signs of great promise. as he a pro-
f~essionalrn l asked. "OhI no." said my
hostess; ''he's the son of a gentlemanl''
The dear lady meant no o~ffense, she only
meant that the father was a man of
means; but that she should have put it
in the way she did and made the remark
to the only professional in the room was,
perhaps, unfortunate. Nervousness some
times cause people to blurt out most in
convenient truths. l arrived once at q
house to sing at an ''At Home" My
host was a very nervous, shy man. /
remarked: ''You have two grand pianos
in your drawing rooms, 1 see." OIL
ohl-ye-yes" said my host. eve
hired the one that's open for this after
noon. My wife said, we can't let Cor
ney Grain play on our best piano Hal
hal hal" 1 laughed a hollow "hal hal
hal" and went meekly to my hired com
panion for the afternoon. Sometimes
ladies side up and say in an undertone:
''Be merciful, Mr.. Grain, our piano is a
new one" "Ohl pray don't apologize, ="
l reply, 'it'll do well enough for my
work. "-Murray's Magazine.

Stamps the People Never SEQ.

A woman who has the craze for stamp
collecting called at the Bangor postoffice
recently and said she wanted to buy
''some of the stamps which are Cancelled
when postage is paid on regular publica-
tons" 1t is against the rule to sell these
stamps, and the woman's remark led to
an investigation by an inspector. Ac-
cording to a rule of the department, mail
matter prepaid is receipted in a book.
which is sent to Washington when filled.
Stamps of a particular sort were placed
on the receipts and Cancelled. As they
were never allowed to go from the office
they were of curse of great value to col
lectors. The inspector found that the
book had been taken by an employe, who
believed it to be of no value. He sold
them and found eager customers for
them. Whatever he had on hand he
gave to the inspector who called on him
Springfield Republican.

Paris Sewer Cleaning System.

1t is scarcely probable that any other
city in the world will have, at least for a
long period, a system of sewer cleaning
rs efficient as that of Paris. Tho sewer
are all constructed with that end in view,
y:crImen can carry on their labors with
ont STOPPING, and the bottom is SO shaped
rs to facilitate the work by the different
forms of water gates. In London a second
sewer or gallery is sometimes constructed
above the main conduit by which a par
tial cleaning is effected. There is not the
slightest doubt that all cities will have
eventually to build their great intersect-
ing sewers, at least, in such n manner
that workmen can pass through them and
clean them. No amount of flushing will
ever suflice.-Paris Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.
