HOW MICE ENGAGE IN BATTLE.

They Resemble Human Pugiiists In Their
 Little Encounters.
 Before we had much observed mice, the use of their long tails was ques- ton that puzzled us, says a writer in the Northwest. We do not know of what service they are to the females, but to the bucks they are, we see, of use in their combats: for when they fight they very often face one another standing on their hind legs, the tals then making, as with kangaroos, the third feature of a tripod.
 Their appearance, when they thus stand facing each other with their heads thrown back and their paws in front of their faces is, on account perhaps of the resemblance it bears to prize fighters, extremely comic. Small mice, also, when attacked by their big. ger congeners, raise their paws before their faces, the attitude in that case strangely suggesting one of deprecation.
 What occurs when belligerent bucks actually engage only instantaneous photography could record. so rapid are their movements. Presumably, they try to bite, but must consider defense the better part of valor, for they never ap- pear to get hurt much, and between the rounds will nibble away at the crust which brought them into the vicinage, only showing their excitement by rat ting their tails against the ground. Occasionally a tail seized by the teeth leads to one mouse having to drag his enemy over the floor till the latter lets m

NAMES FORsGiRlS.
The Increasing Partiality In Parents for

The Increasing Partiality In Parents for
 Picturesque De ignations-
 It is interesting to note from time to time the prevailing Characteristics of the age as reflected in the Christian names of the rising generation. If young people were allowed to choose their own names as soon as they were capable of doing so, or if. as it has been suggested, they were allowed to revise their Christian names, say on being con frmed or on reaching their majority, the tendencies of the time would be still more clearly observable. As it is, however, anyone who has reached the age of thirty is in a position to note the great change which has come over the spirit of personal nomenclature in the last couple of decades.
 One has only to look over the list of prize winners at girls school to be- come convinced of the increasing par tiality of parents for romantic designa- tions for their offspring. There is less temptation to indulge in romance in naming a boy, Still there is always the danger that girls temperament and career will belle her name, if the name happens to be one with any remarkable associations. It does not follow that stella will show taste for astronomy or Undine for swimming. Hence, so long as individuals are bound to stick to their Christian names all their lives, the more discreet parents will continue to avoid the unbridled indulgence in their passion for the picturesqu-

When Life Is Extinct.

The French Academy of Sciences ten or fifteen years ago offered n prize of ono thousand six hundred pounds for the discovery of some means by which even the inexperienced might at once dcter-
 mine whether in a given case dcath had ensued or not. physician obtained the prize for having discovered the fol lowing wcll-linown phenomenon. If the hand of the suspected dead person is held toward candle or other arti- ficial light with the fingers extended and one touching the other, and one looks through the spaces between the fingers toward the light, there appears a scarlet rcd color where the fingers touch each other, due to the blood still circulating, it showing itself through the tissues which have not conTcstcd. When life is entirely extinct the phe- nomenoa of scarlet space between the fingers at once ceases. The most cx- tensive and thorough trials established the truth of this observation.

HE inALe DOLLAR.
Its Origin and Crr,sr--- Coincd for Use |
 Oriental Count ries.

Its Origin and (rrs rssr--Coincd for Use In
 Or,ental tountries.
 Ono nf the annoyanoes of business men is tho trade dollar" saysthe Kan sas City Star. A man will come in hur- riedly, mako a purchase, and throw down disc of silver that looks and rings like dollar. After he is gone the merchant finds ''trade dollar" in his till. and 1t has tendency to make him irritable.
 The trade dollar was a commercial convenience when first coined, but it is now commercial nuisance. In 1873 the trade dollar was issued for purposes of trade with China and other Asiatic countries. Before that time Americans had been buying Mexican dollars and shipping them to the Orientals in pay mcnt of merchandise. The trade dollar was never intended for circulation in this country, but for exportation abroad. For five years they were coined and largely used. The act au- thorizing their coinage repealed the act authorizing the coinage of the standard dollar, thus making them for t;mc the only dollar coins issued by the United States. The merchants might as well have used silver bars for eastern trade, but it was thought that the stamp of the government certifying that 4s0 grains of silver 900 fine would give other coun- tries greater confidence than to use simple bars of silver un- stamped and uncertifed From 1873 to 1876 they were legal tender, and l5, 000,- 900 of them were coined. From 1876 to 1878 all trade dollars coined were not legal tender, but it is the opinion of eminent lawyers that the 15.0O0, 900 ul- ready coined were legal tender, while those coined after 1876 were not Their coinage was discontinued February 22, 1878, up to which time there had been 35,050,SG0 coined. The exact value of trade dollar now is 77 cents, althouph people get as much more than that for them as they can.
 February 10, 1887, an act was passed by congress authorizing the redemption of trade dollars for six months, dollar for dollar. At that time statisticians estimated that there were about 7,0oO,- oOo III the country. AS I,6S9,O3O were redeemed it is probable that there are not many now in the United States, although they do not command pre- mium as rarities.
 Like all the other coins of value the trade dollar has been countcrfeited, most of the commercials being made of type metal and circulated in China, Ja- pan and the East Indies. The inhab- itants of the east have learned to be wary and watchful when handling coins that come from the occident. Most of the trade dollars that went to the eastern countries were melted and recoined in the currency of the orient The trade dollar contains four more grains of silver than the standard dol lar, and has eight one-thousandths the less of alloy.

 Mrs. Annie Besant, writing of her American impressions in the London Star, says: "I spent some interesting hours tramping about New York slums, contrasting in my mind the terrible poverty with the little less terrible wealth found within the limits of the same city.

The mighty Caesar once asked, on sec ing strangers in Rome fondle monkeys; Do the women of your country bear you no children, that you are compelled to center your affections on those vile creatures?'

 ''I was the lion of the day once in my life" said sam Davis the other night, as he sat with Judge Beatty and party of friends at the Palace hotel, San Fran cisco. "I was on my way from Ogden to San Francisco in the days when the porter had the run of the sleeping cars, and wes had lot of eastern tourists aboard. My berth was near the rear, and when the porter reached me he was mad. The largest tip he. had received was a nickel, and in some cases he had been given one and two-cent pieces. had paid for one night, and when he ap- preached me said:
 By the way, are you the man who blacked my boots?'
 "'Yes, boss

 The fact was had simplY-paid for my berth, and had given the porter nothing. As a result the information spread through the car and the porter reaped a harvest. A few moments later strolled into the smoking room and the porter said: That was good re- bulic you administered, boss.
