Coins of Many Countries Discovered by a
Church Treasurer.
When people read the paragraphs in
the funny papers about the buttons and
the punched and the counterfeit coins
which are dropped in the contribution
boxes, they usually give the men who
wrote the article credit for drawing
largely upon his Imagination. The
fact of the matter is, however, that the
truth is funnier than all the humorous
mems fictions. The treasurers of nearly
every church in the city send regularly
to the United States Sub-Treasury lot
of punched coins on which they realize
not much more than half their face
value. The counterfeit coins are usually
destroyed.
The treasurer of one of the best
known Catholic churches in the city
showed the writer collection of
punched coins the other day the face
value of which amounted to about ten
dollars, and all of which were put into
the contribution boxes in one month. A
queer-looking collection it was, too
There were coins representing nearly
every civilized nation in the world
Among the collection were German
pfennings, English sixpences, shillings
and half-crown pieces, and six-pence
struck in honor of Queen Victoria
in the year of her jubilee; Canadian
pieces, French ffty-centime pieces of
the time when Napoleon ruled that
country and pieces of the same denom-
nation struck since the country became
a republic; Mexican coins, pieces from
Venezuela and coins from numerous
other countries.
The largest piece was United States
half dollar; there were several of these
There were number of quarters,
dimes, half-dimes, five-cent and three
cent silver and nickel pieces and copper
one-cent pieces, all mutilated, either by
having a hole punched in them or a
piece cut out of the edge. Each hole
was carefully plugged with lead so that
the sharp-eyed collector would not OBJ
serve that the piece was mutilated I'M
less he inspected it closely. There
were more dimes than pieces of all the
oGher denominations put together.
No doubt many of these pieces have
an interesting history, for the reason
that many of them contain monograms,
and during the time that bangle brace
let's were the rage they undoubtedly
adorned some fair wrist. Some of them
were undoubtedly tokens of love, and
how they found their way into the con-
tribution box will probably remain a
mystery. Perhaps some of them were
spent in dire necessity and finally
reached the contribution box after pass
ing through several hands. May be
some of them were spent for caramels,
by proud beauty to show her disdain
for her former admirer. Possibly some
of them were lost.-N. Y. Tribune.

now read:

asked the museum man, in a low, pro-
phetic tone.
Not much" said Bill, grimly.
The museum man slid out of the
room.
Bill and Tom were warned by one Of
the three men to pony up quick; that
the museum man had gone for the boun-
Ger, who was regular slugger, who used
to be prize-fghter, etc.
He re-entered the room with a man
fully six feet three and broad in proper
ton.
Where are they!" yelled the bouncer,
in James Owen OConor tone of voice,
which awoke the fat boy, and that indi-
vidual waddled to the door and looked
lazily on. The bouncer grabbed Bill by
the collar, and shaking him violently,
shouted: SIS dis der slob?'
Eyes, but give 'em one more chance.
Now, are you fellers going to pay? Re-
member this is your last chance" said
the proprietor.
Bill was wrapped in deep thought, as
if undecided what to do. In the mean
time the bouncer was getting very inn
patient, and it required the united
strength of the three men and the fat
boy to hold him back. Bill observed
that actual measurement would result
in obtaining the information that the
bouncer was fully three feet across the
shoulders. He mentioned this fact in
an undertone to Tom-and then they
paid fifty cents each.
When once again out doors, neither
spoke for several minutes. Finally Bill,
with mighty effort, said:

"We've been swindled-most outrage
ously."

0of the many swindling games that are
practiced on the pleasure seeker by
these sharpers: Two brothers. Tom and
Bill Shocks, who had been in New York
but short time, went to Coney Island
one hot day last summer. They had
wandered around aimlessly for over an
hour, in vain endeavor to find some
thing to amuse them, when they OBJ
served, near the Iron Pier, the glaring
posters of dime museum which pro-
claimed that for the ridiculously small
sum of ten cents the public could view
many startling curiosities, among which
were a case of bona fide ossified man, a
picturesque tattooed man, etc., etc., etc.
The young men hastily separated them
selves from ten cents apiece, secretly
regretting that they had not taken an
earlier boat, as they firmly believed that
1T would take vast amount of time to
view the many curiosities mentioned on
the posters.
Their disappointment was by no means
small when they entered the grand
'curio hall'' and found that all the curios-
tiles in the place consisted of fat boy,
who was sound asleep with his mouth
wide open, which resembled an open
eooal-hole in the sidewalk; a Circassian
Ave. Az girl who made herculean eff
fort to fiirt with them; a negro whose
limbs were attached to his body upside
down, but which earned the high title
of 'Guyascutis," and a half-starved

SACRAMENTAL WINE,
A Drink That Proved Too Much fur .
Burglar's Hard Head.

The strength of the liquid which some
churches are using as ''the fruit of the
vine" for the most touching memorial
of the Christian faith appears from the
following account given in the World
of an occurrence in the cid st. Paul's
Church in New York City:
Near the back door two big bundles were
found, containing over $1,000 worth of silk and
satin altar draperies and vestments, and upon
peering in the officers were surprised to see
man about sixty years old comfortably sleeping
on sofa The door was opened. The police
men filed in, but the man on the sofa hard
ly moved as the officers surrounded
him. 1t was then discovered that the
man was "gloriously drunk" and shortly
afterwards his condition was explained by tho
discovery of an empty jar which had contained
large quantity of sacramental wine The
contents OF this jar probably saved the church
from heavy loss, for had the thief not beeA
overcome by his deep draughts of the rare wine
he would undoubtedly have got safely away
with the booty.
AS it was he was removed to the station
house screaming and fighting like mailman.
He was too drunk to tell his name and at once
fell into heavy sleep in his cell. Around the
anteroom where all the vestments are stored,
valuable draperies, loose and in bundles, were
strewn about in the utmost confusion.
We confess to very strong objection
to offering to delicate women and chill
dren, to growing boys, and to men
struggling up from tie pit of intemper-
ance, drink which is too much for the
hard head of burglar.-Better Day.

NATURAL BARRIERS.
The Degree of Hindrance They Offer to
the Extension of Species.

The Degree OF Hindrance They Offer to
the Extension of Species.
The relations Of the fauna of different
regions are intimate in direct relation
to the ease by which barriers may be
crossed. Distinctness is in direct pro.
portion to isolation. What is true in
this regard of the fauna of any region
as whole is likewise true of any of it's
individual species. The degree of re-
semblance among individuals is in di-
rect proportion to the freedom of their
movement, and variation within what
we call specific limits is again proper
tionate to the barriers which prevent
equal and perfect diffusion.
The various divisions or realms into
which the surface of the earth may be
divided on the basis of the differences in
animal life each has it's boundary in the
obstacles offered to the spread of the
average animal. Each species broadens
its range as far as 1t can. 1t struggles
knowingly or not to overcome the bar
riers of ocean or river, of mountain or
plain, of woodland or desert, of moisture
or drought, of cold or heat, of lack of
food or abundance of enemies, whatever
these barriers may be. We're it not for
these barriers, every species would be-
come what only man now is, practically
cosmopolitan. Man is pre-eminently the
barrier-crossing animal. The degree of
hindrance offered by any barrier to the
extension of species is only relative.
That which constitutes an impossible
barrier to some groups is high-road to
others. The river which opposes the
passage of the monkey or the cat would
be the kings highway to the frog or the
turtle. The waterfall which checks the
ascent of the fish would be the chosen
home of the ouzel.-President David
Starr Jordan, in Popular Science
Monthly.
