The New Half. Dollar.

The San Francisco Bulletin says
The new half-dollar, which went into
circulation last week in a limited way,
is so different in appearance to the
earlier issue as to be refused by those
people who are not acquainted with
the change. The other evening a
Hibernia Bank clerk, who had some
of the new money, rendered one Of the
coins TO a Market street car con
ductor for his fare. The company is
very particular, and whenever the en-
ployes take bad money they are out
OF pocket, in consequence Of which
they are very particular. On the &C.
casion mentioned the conductor
handed back the half, with the re-
mark that foreign coins were not re-
ceived. The bank clerk called at
tention to the inscription, Omitted
States of America" on the coin, and
the date, 1892. That's all right" re-
piled the conductor. "I1l take no
chances. The good old money, which
has stood the test OF generations, is
good enough for me-"

An accident recently happend on
the Phoebe & Jackrabbit railway
which nearly proved fatal to q man
named Fleming. The railway is on a
steep grade, and Fleming rode to the
bottom OF it on q car with the brakes
off, going over a fourteen-foot trestle
at the end. The Phoebe Record says:
Mounting the car at the top Of the
grade, Fleming said to the boy who
was with him "Here goes for q
mile q minute" and started. He
did not check the speed of the car un-
til near the trestle. The trestle is
fourteen feet high and some distance
from the main track of the railroad.
Fleming was thrown over the two cars
and struck upon the main track. He
was picked up unconscious and brought
to Phoebe, where DIR. Crowder, being
informed by telephone, was ready to
attend to his injuries. The doctor
found one arm broken and his head
badly cut and bruised. He was not
much injured otherwise.

According to the Chicago Tribune,
1881 cases Of suicide were reported in
the news of the country during the
year 1891. This exceeds the total for
any previous year Of which record has
been made-comparing with 2,940 in
1890 and 2,224 in 1889. AS in 1890,
and 2,224 in 1889. AS in 1890, the
larger number chose shooting as the
means Of self slaughter, poison coming
next and hanging third. In the
melancholy list are the names OF no
less than % doctors, IL clergymen, five
lawyers of some prominence and four
judges, besides several bankers, pro-
lessons, merchants and others. 1t is
a curious fact that among professional
men, physicians headed the list OF
suicides in point Of number in 1890 as
well as last year.

A Texas Freak.

Mr.. G. d. Hoffman, Of Woodland,
Texas, has a c~alf-sheep. Exactly half
OF the calf is covered with wool run
ming along the backbone and on the
under side half way. Half of the tail
is wool, and the two right feet are like
a sleeps. The hide feels like a sheep
on one side, the other like a calf eyes
are blue. You may pull the wool
from a sheep and you cannot detect
the difference. The side on which the
wool is appears a great deal lighter in
color than the other. Its mother is a

Reducing Their Own Ores.

The Salt Lake Exchange Journal
has the following: The question Of
cheap and efficient ore reduction is
becoming a weighty one in isolated
mining camps, and if capital does not
get a hump on itself and build at an
early day into these districts, it will
discover, when finally it does extend
its lines Of road, that there will be but
little ore to haul to market, as the
mine owners, almost to a man, will be
busily employed in reducing their own
ores, and all that the railroads will get
will be freight charges on bullion.

Birds in Tiers.

Three tiers of brilliantly colored lit
tie birds was one of the many pretty
sights | often saw in the bird-market
in Paris. To Tighten his burden. the
owner of these pretty songsters had
placed a great many of them into one
large cage. The cage had but sim
gle perch-a long one, to be sure, yet
at best it could hold only one-third of
the birds. AS you may suppose, all
places on this perch were always in
great demand, and usually its whole
length was fully occupied by the tiny
warblers. crowded together in Jolly
companionship. Flying about the
cage IL all directions were those not
fortunate enough to secure seats"
and their antics in endeavoring to find
a resting-place were very pretty and
clever. Alighting on the seated ones,
they would wedge their tiny feet be-
tween two of them in an attempt to
reach the perch: and sometimes they
succeeded; but more often a second
tier of birds was started by the new
corners coolly getting upon the backs
of the first. a slight disturbance of
the center of gravity, however. and
all would come tumblingrlown. Then
there would be great commotion and a
perfect medley of color, as the birds
rushed again, pell-mell. for the COW
eted places. Presently quiet would be
restored, and the two tiers of birds
again successfully completed.
But there were still ethcrs flying
about. or hopping around on the bot
tom of the cage, who also expected to
get resting places. To perch ON top of
the second tier was indeed Very
pretty and very difficult perform
ance. as there was considerable wob-
bling in the lower tiers, even at the
lightest touch of n lowering bird.
FINALLY, with dainty wings and feet
outStretched in slow descent. a bright
little acrobat would start the third
tier. But alas! the next bird might
prove careless little fellow. and would
upset them all.
However, in spite of accidents and
carelesSness, the third tier was often
finished, and sometimes it lasted even
several minutes before it was demol-
iShed. But when the pyramid was
completed. usually some hungry little
chap IN the first story. spying dainty
morsei lying on the bottom of the
cage. would withdraw his support, to
the disaster and confusion of the
crowd.
Thus IT went on. all day long-in-
cessant change of place and form and
color. Happily through it all the lit
tie aerohats were as merry as birds
could be, pouring out their liquid
music into the golden sunshine. joy

LEAH, THE UGLY GIRL.

atrocious lie to conceal it, while we are

Leah, in whose person the ugly girl
makes her first appearance upon the
stage of authentic history, in all pro-
liability acquired the tender eyes"
that proved so detrimental TO her ma
trimonial prospects, as the result of
self sacrificing devotion to domestic
duty. Upon her. as eldest daughter.
naturally fell the care of the household
after her mothers death, and while the
pretty Rachel was roaming the fields
in the poetic character of a shepherdess,
or flirting and gossiping with the shep-
herd lads around the well of Pada-
naram, poor Leah, the household
drudge, was spelling her eyelds and
making her complexion coarse and red
over the kitchen fire.
And it was for this that she was
despised by her husband, though
Jacob, l have no doubt, writes Miss +.

want of respect for those humble uten-
