Activity in London Streets.

The thing that most astonished me
about London, and that had been least
prepared to see there, says Julian Ralph
in Harper's Weekly, was the amazing
activity in the streets. A New Yorker
born and bred, who has seen the prin.
cipal American cities, fancies that there
can be nothing in the world like Fulton
street and Broadway. But, after one
hour on foot in London, he will regard
that heart of New York's traffic much as
turbulent old sailor heard of regarded
a twenty-five calibre revolver. "What
are you going to do with that pea
shooter2" he asked. eNobody would
be afraid of that. Stand off bit and
fire at me few times till see what it
will do. Now, if you happened to have
a knife about you and felt sassy, I'd feel
afraid of you.n
London is full of Fulton streets and
Broadways, and at them and in all the
other streets the cabs and hansoms fly
about in such hot and apparently reck-
less way that I always felt while was
there that the only reason I did not read

dents every morning in the papers was,
that it would be doing violence to the
organic principles of the London press
to print the news. / confess was more

streets, and with fear which is en-.

citizens, that they are all SO accustomed
to project their coat tails at right angles
to their bodies, and to invoke divine aid
between the flying hoofs of horses, when.
ever they need to cross street, that they
are as adept at it as an American light
ning-rod man is at lodging missiles
Yet observed that Dickens, in his Die
tionary Of London, thinks it worth whils

curb to curb, is to make up your minC

THE VALUE OF SILVER COINS.

Did you know, when passing trade
dollars, that for two years past the price
of good specimens of the coinage of
IS73-7S, inclusive, have been worth
from ST 10 to $500 each j.! That is the
price placed upon them in the U. S.
Mint quotations. Did you hold any
trade dollars as rarities? Few, doubt
less have thought of this. although any
one could have known it for the simple
inquiry. If you find good specimen
of the silver dollar of the coinage of
1904, with flowing hair, remember that
it is worth $50, and a very fine one
SI25. Good specimens of 1896, '3S,
80 and 81 are worth from $40 to $50.
A 50 cent piece of 1896, with sixteen
stars is worth over SIoo. One of the
following year, with fifteen stars is
worth about twice as much. The most
valuable quarter dollars are those of
1928 and II; they are worth from SIS
to 500 each /; that OF 1858, without ar
rowheads, $40. The spurned twenty
cent pieces of 1877 and IS are worth
S. each. The most valuable dimes are
those of 1902 and a, worth $40 and
SIS. Several five cent pieces are worth
good premiums, while one OF 1902 will
bring you not less than SI25. There
are also not few very valuable copper
cents.
