A Coin Recovered Afrer 1hfrtv Years.

II is not often that a marked coin once
put into circulation is returned TO the per-
son who marked it. George Troup, Su-
perintendent Of Forest Lawn Cemetery,
before he left Scotland, had his name
stamped upon coin Of the issue Of
George II. 1t was done in fun, and at
that time he never dreamed that the coin
would ever be returned to him. The
coin was put into circulation, and a short
time afterward Mr.. Troup came to this
country. More than thirty years passed
by, and he thought nothing more about
the circumstance. One day recently
friend of bis at lodge said to him: IL
have coin with your name upon it,
II asked him to LET me see the coin,D
said Mr. Troup, land when | looked at
it | found it was the Identical piece that
| had marked so long ago. | wrote to
the man who was present when the coin
was marked in Scotland, and he recalled
the circumstance, and got the coin from
nv Buffalo friend, and now / would not
take good sum of money forit Where
that coin had been during the thirty
years no one knows, but it is strange
coincidence that it should have turned up

PRESCIENCE.

Along the new wind drifted snow,
Carven in dome and minaret,
And arabesque in beauty, glow
Rich tones of blue aud violet.
And then an olive jewel burns
And sparkles in the liquid light,
And suddenly To turquoise turns
Upon the chill unbroken white,
Here is a c'ystal flaming green,
Wind-l ol.shed as lis light II throws,
And bright amid the lively sheen
Flash beryl, chrysopras-, and rose.
Within my musing dream these glints
That gem my snowy gardenwdy
With colors fine are subtle hints
OF balny blooms to come-and May

Englishmen always eat dinner before
they go out TO dinner, because they know
the risks they are running. but nobody
ever warns the stranger, and so he walks
placidly into the trap. Ofcourse nobody
was hurt this time, because we had all
been to dinner. none of US being novices
except Hastings and he having been in-
formed by the Minister at the time that
he invited him that in Difference TO the
English custom he had not provided any
dinner. Everybody took lady and
processioned down to the dining room be-
cause it is usual to go through the mo-
Iions; but there the dispute began. The
Duke Of Shoreditch wanted 10 take pre-
cedence, aud sit at the head Of the table,
holding that he outranked minister who
represented merely nation and not
monarch but / stood for my rights and
would not yield. In the GOSSIP column
| ranked all dukes not royal, and said 90,
and claimed precedence of this one. 1t
couldn't be settled, of course, struggle as
we might and did, he finally (and inju-
diciously) trying to play birth and autiq-
uity, and seeing" his CoDqueror and
raising" him with Adam, whose direct
posterily was, as shown by my name,
while he was of collateral branch, as
shown by his. and by his recent Norman
origin so we all processioned back to
the drawiug-room again aud had per-
pendicular lunch-plate of sardines and
a strawberry, and you group yourselfand
stand up and eat it. Here the religion Of
precedence is not so strenuous the two
persons of highest rank chuck up shil-
ling. the one that wins has first to 90 at
his strawberry and the loser gets the shil.
ling. The next two chuck up, then the
next two, and so on. After refreshment
tables were brought, and we all played
cribbage. sixpence a game. The Eng
lish never play any game for amusement.

Hoe armour Tha,ced "Frec=e-O -Oat.''

Ho,c Armour Thatced a "Free<e-Out.V
A few months ago there was move
ment to crush Armour in grain corner.
He had contracted to deliver several mil
lion bushels of grain at given date.--
Delivery Of this sort, il is we'll known,
means delivery in the elevators, not in
the cars. Armour's granaries were full.
The combination would not let him have
bushels room in any other structure
And still he bad three million bushels TO
move from the far west, and there were
but thirty days left for the completion OF
the undertaking. When he discovered
the freezing out" designs Of his compet-
itors he gave himself no anxiety what
ever. He rang his Office bell. A clerk
responded.
"Send for Mr.. -, the builder"
Mr.. - duly made his appearance.
There was a brief conversation
Twenty.eight days after that the newest
and largest grain elevator in the world
was IN Armour's possession. 1t had been
built for him in the interim by an enor-
nous force of men working in three
eight hour shifts each day. The three
million bushels were stored on the twen-
ty-ninih day, and there was space to
spare for million more-Mc Cre's Mag

years party expediency had been substituted by its

the leVying OF custom duties to the limit of an
adequate revenue abandoned. A deficiency to
be made good by bond issues or by internal taxes
was preferred to the incidental protection that
adequate customs duties would give The silver
