A Queer Young Woman.

On street car. Yesterday, my ut
tention was attracted by a tall young
woman with the air and manner OF
an actress, who came into the car as
if she expected instant admiration
aud homage from all beholders. She
was not handsome. but she had q
striking appearance. A single glance
would tell any one that she was ut
least reader of the erotic literature
of the day. il not n devotee of the
school made famous by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox. Laura, Jane Libby Amelia
Kives CHAMBER and others. Her
dress was peculiar. From shoulder
to foot she was covered by Il sea
green velvet cloak. Russet shoes
with pointed toes incsscd her feet.
Her hair was frowzy with little curls,
and hung about in utterly utter
abandon. Herhend was covered with
soft white hat-a mans hat-which
had been crushed into IL point at the
front and turned up in the rear, and
only needed n feather to make it like
the hats worn by Shakespearcan
archers or merry men. have been
thus particular in describing the
young woman, because, as l glanced
down in her lap, where Il little pack
age of manuscripts was held in one
of her hands, l could not help read
ing the bold title on the outside. 1t
was as follows: "The Morality of
immortality" What are We coming
to. ANYHOW?

motive on board the British steamer
Wellington for transfer to the Esqui
malt and Nanaimo Railroad. The
locomotive had been landed from
the cars onto n platform OH the dock
and the steamer made fast alongside
the wharf, port side to. A stout
gangway was built from the dock
over which the locomotive could be
transferred to the ship, but while it
was being lowered the tackle snapped
and the locomotive broke loose.
1t tore across the deck, crashed
through the iron bulwarks on the
star board side, and fell intothe bay.
The locomotive weighed sixty five
tons, and sunk SO far in the mud,
which is there about forty feet deep,
that it could not lie found when
sounded for the next day.

Valuable Coins.

Loring G. Parmalee, the numis-
matist OF Boston and former resi-.
dent of Wilmington, VT, has sold
his valuable and unique collection Of
American coins to New York persons,
who IRE to sell them at public auc-
ton next month. The collection
comprises about 5000 pieces,
many of which are uncirculated, and
it is thought themost valuable single
collection of United States coinage
in the world, and is valued ut $75,
900.
MIR. Parmalee has been about
twenty years securing this collection,
which includes the rnre 1904 dollar,
for which he paid $3.50, though it
has since nearly doubled in value,
and u specimen OF every gold coin
from 1895 down to the present date,
the best assortment known. Some
OF the rare pieces of colonial coinage
in this cabinet are valued as high as
81 900 each. An unsuccessful effort
was made to secure these coin fort the
government, it being more nearly
complete collection even than the
one in the Philadelphia mint
Springfield Republican.

The Babies of the World.

lthas been computed that between
3G, 0o0,oo0 and 37.OOO,OOO babies
are born in the world each year. The
rate ofproductioni is, therefore, about
seventy per minute, or rather moro
than one tor every beat of the clock.
With the onc-a.minutc calculation
every newspaper reader is familiar,
but it is not every one who stops to
calculate what this means when it
comes to II years supply. 1t will,
therefore probably startle good
many persons to find, on theauthor
ity Of IL wcllknown hospital writer
that. could the infants ola year bo
arranged in line in cradles, the cradles
would be Overlooking, and Mt the
same time extend around the globe,
We have the ingenious conclusion
also that, supposing the little ones
grow up, and the sexes be equally
divided, we would have an army 100
times larger than that OF Great Brit
ain, and u wife Tor each soldier be-
sides.
The same writer looks at the mat
ter in still more picturesque light.
He imagines the babies being carried
past Il given point in their mothers
arms, one by one, and the procession
being kept up night and day until
the last conner in The twelfth month
had passed by. A sufficiently liberal
rate is allowed, but even in going
past at the rate of twenty Il minute
the reviewer at his post would only
have seen the sixth part of this in
fnntile host after they had been pass
ing him at the rate OF | 200 I'M hour
during the entire year! In other
words, the babe that had to be car
ried when the tramp began would be
letowall when but mere fraction
of it's comrades had reached the re.
viewers post, and when the years
supply of babies was drawing to n
close there would he rear guard,
not ofinfants, hut of romping G-year-
old boys and girls.
