THE GREAT VICTORIA FALLS
Among the Grandest In the World, Thouc]
Hidden.

Among tho Grandest In the World, Though
Hidden.
Livingstone was the first to describe
to us the great falls of the upper Fam
bcsi river, which he called the Victoria
falls. These falls, says the New York
Sun, are among the greatest in the
world. The most recent visitor to them
is MIR. Declc, Il French explorer who is
now carrying out chronological invcsti-
cations in the upper Zambesi region
lie has made some remarks about these
falls which give us different impress
sion of them from that commonly held.
He says that all his predecessors have
spoken so enthusiastically of the falls
that he hardly dares to express his own
opinion. II will content myself" he
adds, by saying that they would be
very grand if one could only see them.
The great river, about a mile wide at
this place, suddenly contracts and dis
appears, apparently into the bowels of
the earth, falling from height which
] estimate at about four hundred feet,
into gorge which is about five hundred
feet wide. The water dashes itself with
such violence to the bottom of this
gorge that much of it rebounds high in
the air, and Il column of spray and vapor
rises ut least three hundred feet above
the level of the river. One can see this
column, plainly marking the location
OF the falls, seven miles away and their
roar can be heard for several miles.
could find no position where could see
the bottom of the gorge, and there was
only single place where it was posi-
bic for me to see rs much as six hun
dred feet in width of the falls at one
time 1t is impossible to compare the
Victoria falls with those of Niagara.
The latter are very grand and the
former are terrific, but more on account
of what we imagine than because of
what we can see"

Bootblack's Neat Reply to the Re
nark of II One-LeEgcd Veteran.
Two men stood on n New York street
corner chatting, one having his boots
BACKED the while, the other trying to
keep poor cigar burning. The latter,
says the New York Herald had but one
leg. When the ragged little bootblacll
had got through with the one and col
lectcd IL nickel he tapped his box smart
~ with his brush and looked up at the
onc-lcgged man:
''Shinc 'cm up, sir?"
"Why, I've only got one foot, young
chap"
"Shinc EN- up, sir?"
well, don't llnow-you charge a
nickel for two feet. spose you'll do
mine for two and half cents, ch?"
Yes" said the hoy, IF you'll furnish
the change lie went industriously to
work polishing up the lonely foot,
while the two men continued joking.
The onc-lcggcd man was telling the
other fellow about leaving his leg on
the slope of Lookout mountain. lie
had pulled out a tcn-ccnt piece me-
chanically, as he talked, and the boy
was Il long time on the job. When the
lad had put an extra fine polish on
the broad buttoncd shoe, the one legged
customer chcerily rendered the dime.
II always pay double" said he laugh
ing patronizngly, ION account of the
wear and tear on the boys feelings"
An ! allus don't take nothing" re-
tortcd the dirty little fellow, shoulder
ing his box with the conventional
swing. "My grandpa lef: Il leg in the
war an don't take nothin' fur one
leg job, scc?-on account O. dc wear an
tear on me fcelings-scc?" he added,
slyly.
And he staggered away with an air
of independence that struck the two
men spccchlcss with amazcmcnt.

CURIOUS COINS.
French Pieces of Which Only N Fcw yyer
Struck


Nurnismatists or coin collectors have
interesting objects of search in two
coins which belong to the transition
period between the French republic and
the Second empire, says the Youths
Companion. One of these is an extreme
~ rare coin which was struck off lust
ut thc moment of the assumption of
the rcins of empire by Napoleon III.
Only the die FOR the diverse or head of
new imperial coin had been complct-
cd, and by some accident, or possibly by
mischicvous design, coin was strucl, off
which bore the head of Napoleon I'LL.
Emperor" Oh one side, and ''FYcnch Re
public" on the other
This contradictory coin is of intcrcs,
to others than numismatists, for il SYM
boi2cs III Il striking way the many sud-
den changes which have taken place
in French politics in the past century.
With the other coin II singular story is
connected. While Louis Napoleon was
prince president" and just before he
made himself emperor, decree was is
sued ordering five-franc silver piece to
be coined bearing his image
The dies were made, and one coin was
struck off as sample and sent to the
prince president for approval. But
some time passed before he examined
it. When at last he gave it his nttcn-
ton he was annoyed to find that he had
been represented on the coin with n
"lovc-lock," or hooked lock of hair on
the temple, which he did actually wear
mt that period, but which he thought
unsuitable to SO. dignificd and perma-
ncnt representation of himself as an
ctigy upon coin.
The prince president sent for the di-
rector of the mint. and ordered him to
remove the ''lovc-locl<" Then he
found that his silence with regard to the
piece had been taken for approval, and
that the stamping of the coins had COM
mcnced
The work was stopped, and the i'm
age deprived of its undignified lock;
but the twenty-thrcc coins that had
already been struck off were not de-
stroycd, and arc now regarded as of great
value.

Drippinc Trees,

Travellers in Washington and British
Columbia frequently tell of seeing trees
dripping with moisture when neither
rain nor dew was present The strange
sight is said to be due to the remarkable
condcnsing power of the leaves of some of
the tir trees, which, when the humidity
of the atmosphere closely approaches
the dew point, collect the moisture from
the air until the drops fall to the ground.
