Split Gold Coins.

1.-Two tens for twenty, please" said
gentleman to the cashier in the county
treasurer's Office.
The cashier took the "twenty" and
rang it on the counter. It had that pc.
culiar dull ring that characterizes coun-
terfeit coins. He rung it a second time
and then inspected it critically.
''Is that bogus:' asked the owner of
the coin.
"Oh, no" answered the cashier; it's
good as wheat, but split"
Continuing, he said: "That is the first
split twenty / ever ran across. The
stamping machine at the mint some
times comes down too hard on the coins
and splits them; but it is seldom the
larger coins split. It's mostly 'Gves' that
suffer. But they are very careful at the
mint and stop every split coin they de-
tect. Now, in the thousands of dollars
handled here every year l rarely find
split coin. ! don't think I've found more
than four or five in year, and, as say
the coins were mostly S. pieces.
The split $50 piece looked perfect, and,
so far as the eye could detect, bore no
flaw of any kind. The only fault with
it was in the ''ring," and the split made
it sound dead when thrown on the
counter.~-San Francisco Examiner

Scientific Para,ioxes.

These scientific paradoxes are grouped
together in Blackwood's Magazine: The
water which browns us, q fluent stream,
can be walked upon as ice The bullet
which. when fired from musket carries
death, will be harmless if ground to dust
before being fired. The crystallized part
OF the oil of roses, so graceful III its fra
GRANGE, a solid at ordinary temperatures,
though really volatile, is a compound
substance containing exactly the same
clements, and in exactly the same pro-
portions, as the gas with which we light
our streets. The tea which we daily
drink with benefit and pleasure produces
palpitations, nervous tremblings, and
even paralysis, if taken in excess; yet the
peculiar organic agent called theme, to
which tea owes its qualities, may be
taken by itself (as theme, not as tea)
without any appreciabie effect.
The water which will allay our burn
ing thirst augments it when congealed
into snow, so that it is stated by eX-
plorers of the Arctic regions that the ma
tives ''prefer enduring the utmost ex-
trenlity of thirst rather than attempt to
remove it by eating snow" Yet if the
snow be melted it becomes drinkable
water Nevertheless, although if melted
before entering the mouth it assuages
thirst like other water, when melted in
the mouth it has the opposite effect To
render this paradox more striking, we
have only to remember that ice, which
melts more slowly in the mouth, is very
efficient in allaying thirst.

Hot Water and Dyspepsia.

Another hydriatic method, which acts
by removing the cause Of disturbance, is
the slipping of hot water an hour before
meals, in dyspepsia, writes Dir. S.
Baruch, in Times and Register. The hot
water craze, which now has taken firm
hold upon the lay public, is but the legiti-
mate outcome of valuable therapeutic
application of water, whose simplicity
commends it at once to the judgment of
the intelligent physician. Brought into
prominence by DR.. Salisbury, who COM
mitted the error of most enthusiasts of
regarding it as a panacea for most dis
eases, it has now been adopted by the
profession as Il most valuable agent in
many gastric troubles. By removing the
process of fermentation, by cleansing the
mucous membrane of mucous, il restores
tone and vigor to the gastric lining, and
enables the natural forces to come into
play. 1t is important to observe strict
compliance with the rule laid down by
the originator, viz: that the water should
be slipped as hot as possible, and that an
hour should elapse before a meal is
taken. Examples of failure due to neg
lect of this rule are numerous in the ex,
perience of all medical men.

The Wells of Tripoii.

The Friday market in Tripoli, Barbary,
held in the oasis, little distance from
the town, is picturesque in the extreme.
On all sides the exasperating grating OF
we'll pulleys produces motif too Wag-
merriam for uneducated ears, in pastoral
symphony played by full orchestra of
buzzing insects, grasshoppers whirring
shrilly, and the sun scorched palms
cracking their dry branches. In each
garden rise the two arms of well, be-
tween which an enormous leatnern bag
mounts and descends on rude wooden
pulley, the chief instrument of the above
mentioned music, discharging ut each
trip flood of water
The negro laborer uses a camel, an OK,
sometimes his wife, to give the motion
to the machine by going up and down
an incline plane. The movement docs
not stop day or night during the nine
months of the dry season, and it is
thanks to that water, which is life,
thanks to constant care, that the ver
dure of semi-tropical vegetation blooms
gayly in the sand.
Under the protection of pomegranate,
fig, orange, lemon and banana trees,
through whose heavy foliage the sun
percolates, flourish maize and wheat,
vegetables and flowers of all sorts.

their heads in the superheated atmos-

DIR. Hansen, the Norwegian discoyerer
of the bacillus of leprosy, came over to
this country while ago to trace the his
tory of leper immigrants who had settled
in Wisconsin, Minnesota ana Dakota.
OF 100 original leper immigrants he was
able to find only 10; few more may be
living, but nearly 147 are dead. OF all
their descendants, SO far as great-grand-
children, not one has become leper. III
this country the disease does not increase
nor does it appear to be hereditary. The
failure to spread here is thought to be
due to the improved conditions of living
which the immigrants are able to secure
on this side Of the ocean.
The Sanitary Inspector, in speaking of
leper lately found at Brentwood, Eng
land, says that many persons believe that
leprosy has entirely disappeared from
England, yet there has probably never
been year in which a score of lepers
could not be produced, and that, though
England used to have lepers enough,
leprosy has become very rare disease
since English homes and English roads

Strict Economy.

Science brings about economy, and in
these days Of varied manufactures, and
perfect facilities for carrying them on,
there is very little waste material in any
branch of trade. The Sunday Call in de-
scribing the slaughter of cattle at New
ark, N. j., says that no part of steer
is lost save its dying breath.
Nothing is wasted from the tip of tho
tongue to the brush on the end of the
tail. The blood is caught and sold to
make albumen for sugar refineries and
other manufactures, or to form a cheap
substitute for the hard rubber and other
plastic material used in the manufacture
of buttons. When the meat is dressed
the contents of the stomach are removed.
dried and baled as manure, and the stom-
ach Itself is prepared as tripe.
The hide goes to the tanner, the head
is skinned and denuded of flesh for the
sausage maker, the horns go to the
comb maker, who knocks out the pith
and sells it to the glue manufacturer,
who is ever ready to take all the refuse
from any part of the steer. The horny
coverings Of the hoofs are almost as use
full as horn for making buttons and sim
liar articles, and the feet can be used for
oil and glue.
The shinbones make the finest of bone
handles, and all the rest Of the bony
structure, which the butcher is unable
10 sell with the meat, finds It's way event
ually to the manufacturer Of bone fertil-
izer and bone black.
a few Of the tails are utilized, in cold
weather, in the manufacture of oxtaiI
soup, but usually "the tail goes with the
hid and becomes spoiled for domestic
use while lying about in the tannery.
Every scrap of the animals skin, even
the pate, as the skin of the head is called,
is used, in one way or another, and the
refuse of the tanneries becomes an inn
portant part Of the income Of those
establishments.

THE M OMIT @ R
THE WEAVER.
Bsside the loom Of life l stand

Beside the loom of life stand
And watch the busy shuttle go;
The threads hold within my hand
Make up the filling; strand on strand
They slip my fingers through, and 50
This web of mine fills out apace
While stand ever in my place.
One time the wool is smooth and fine
And colored with sunny dye;
Again the threads so roughly twine
And weave so darkly line on line,
My heart misgives me. Then would
Fain loose this web-begin anew
But that, alasl | cannot do
Some day the web will all be done,
The shuttle quiet in its place,
From out my hold the threads be run:
And friends at setting OF the sun
VIII come to look upon my face,
And say: Mistakes she made not few,
Yet wovo perchance as best she knew"

Ashamed to Tell His Name.

1t pays to wear your face upon your
sleeve, leastways your name. So long
ago as July, 1887, Charles Smith went to
town and disappeared. And now he has
been discovered in prison, all because he
hid his light under bushef. Charles
went on harmless spree, was knocked
down and robbed, felt ashamed of himself
and decided to walk home rather than
collect car fare from his town friends in
his dilapidated raiment. On the way
he was given ride by man driving a
two-horse rig, and presently the officers
of the law swooped down and allowed
the talons of the judicial bird to get a
clutch firmly imbedded on the shoulders
of the two travellers. The team had
been stolen and Smiths obliging friend
was the thief. Smith felt ashamed
again. He was shamefaced, not double
faced. 1t came natural for him to blush.
He gave his name as Wilson and was
sent to the cooler for six years to give
his blood chance. He has been there
two years, and now believes that he
could look the world in its eye without
so much as winking, and asks to be par
doned for doing nothing.-Chicago

The Giant Madrona.

The genus really belongs to the Old
World. Asia has its species, and Mexico
claims one or two representatives, but
the pride of the family and delight of ar
boriculturists is the strong, healthy and
handsome child of the west coast. 1t is
often eighty to one hundred feet high,
three feet in diameter, and a famous
specimen in Marin county hasa measured
girth of twenty three feet at,the branch
ing point of the tremendous stem, with
many of the branches three feet through.
The foliage is light and airy, the leaves
oblong, pale beneath, bright green above
The bloom is in dense racemes of cream
white flowers; the fruit, dry orange
colored berry, rough and uninteresting.
But the charm of the madrona, outside
of its general appearance, is in its bark
mo, it is not bark, it is a skin, deli
cate in texture, smooth and as soft to the
touch as the shoulders of an infant.
In the strong sunlight of the summer
these trees glisten with the rich color of
polished cinnamon, and in the moist
shadow of the spring time they are vel
vety in combination colors of old gold
and sage green. There is a human pose
to the trunk. Seen through the tangle
of the thicket, it looks like the brown
1.-THE body of an Indian, and in the
moonlight the graceful upsweep of its
branches is like the careless lifting of a
dusky maiden's arms. Every feature of
the madrona is feminine. They grow in
groves or neighborhoods, and seldom
stand in isolation, courtesy to the winds,
mock at the dignified evergreens and
oaks, and with every favorable breeze
and opportunity flirt desperately with
the mountain lilacs that toss high their
purple plumes on the head waters of Los
Gatos creek.-Fred NJ. Somers in Har-
per's Magazine.

Fast Time to tho Far East.

Decided steps have now been taken,
writes a correspondent, to develop the
new route to the east by way of the west.
Three large screw steamers of 1000 tons
burden, and having speed of eighteen
knots an hour, have been ordered for the
Vancouver to Yokohama passage; and
three others of still greater size and power,
capable of steaming twenty knots an
hour, are about to be ordered for the At
lantic passage from the south of Eng
land to Halifax, N. S., in winter, and
Quebec in summer. They expected to
be ready in February, 1891, and to make
the passage in five and one-half days at
the outside. Travellers will thus be able
to go from London to Yokohama, via
British America, in twenty-three days.
The distance is $3.50 miles, as against
1850 by the Suez canal, and 15,5OO by
the Cape route. Even Shanghai is 1900
miles nearer London by the new route
than by Suez, not to speak of the Cape
route, which, of course, is onger.-Lon-
don Globe.

Death Dealing Car Lamps.

Why is it that in all the talk about the
banishing of stoves from passenger cars
and they ought to be banished-no-
body seems to have thought that the
kerosene lamps are as great an element
of danger as the coal stoves? In pas
senger car in which the Listener rode
quite distance the other day, there
were no fewer than twelve kerosene
lamps burning-four pairs in the roof
and four separate lamps on each side.
Now, in case of collision or a capsizing,
every one of these lamps would have
been source of danger, possibly agreat-
er source of danger than good, strong
stove, since a stove might sustain the
force of the shock, and not throw out
burning Goals, while the lamps would be
pretty sure to be broken in serious
smashup, and nothing but the accident
of extinguishment before the crash
would have prevented them from setting
fire to the car Perhaps there is no way
of getting rid of kerosene lamps in cars.
They must be lighted in some way, and
not all cars can be lighted by electricity.
But the lamps are not to be forgotten
among the things that are to be re-
formed out of existence on the improved
railway of the fcture.-Boston Tram

Wonderful Stage Effects.

Hubert Herkomer is already at work
upon a play for his new theatre at
Bushey, in England, and promises to ex-
eel all past achievements in the way of
realistic scenery. AS the representation
will not take place for two years, he has
plenty of time to perfect his plans. He
is devising a new ghost effect, and also
intends to show the approach and burst
ing of thunder storm, with forked
lightning leaping from the threatening
clouds. After the shower there will be
rainbow, formed in the natural way,
by the rays of an artificial sun shining
through the raindrops as the weather
gradually clears. Some of the music for
the new piece has been composed al
ready. Many of Mr.. Herkomer's stage
illusions are prepared at cost of time
and money which would make their
adoption by the ordinary theatrical man.
ager improbable, but others are simple
enough, and are obtained by the observ-
ance of perfectly familiar artistic laws.
He has succeeded in proving that what
is accepted, ordinarily, as stage realism,
is in reality the feeblest and crudest imi-
tations.-The Stage.

The Poet rennyson's Old Age.

"I saw and talked with Tennyson re-

sit was at the annual flower show at
Haslemere, Surrey, and the poet had
been prevailed upon to leave his seclu-
sion for the botanical display. 1t was
his first public appearance since his ill
ness, and / had not seen him for six
months. That the Poet Laureate is
rapidly aging I saw at glance, and
this became more impressed upon me
during our brief conversation. He was
no longer the Tennyson of a year ago;
talk meant distress to him, and refer
ences to persons very close to him in
friendship, which formerly enlisted his
interest, seemed to meet with little re-
sponse. In his walk he shufded heavily,
and the cane that he once carried as a
companion to idly swing in moments OF
thought, had become almost staff. He
told me his health was good, but his gen
eral appearance scarcely verified his
statement. The strong aroma of a pipe,
carelessly jammed into one OF his coat
pockets, was about the only thing that
suggested to me the Tennyson of old
there was certainly nothing in his con.
versation, manner or appearance. Cor.
