Prospect OF Eidi1E from Cape Horn to
cape IOWA by Conti iuous EaiI.
1t adds something to the zest of life
if one has healthy and active fancy
to reflect that there are people now
hving who may travel by continuous
rail from Cape Horn to the Cape Of
Good Hope. The plan of a ''pan-Amer-
lean railway to connect the South
american systems through Central
America, with the systems of Mexico
and the United States, is already we'll
advanced. There are. says the Review
OF Reviews, to be roads from the Cana
dian Pacific away up to the Peace river
and mckenzie valleys, and it is not
very hard TO believe that these may
ultimately be extended across the
Rockies to the Ukon valley in Alaska,
and continued finally to the narrow and
shallow Bchring straits, across which u
connection would be made with the
Siberian road. Continuous rail travel
from Siberia to Constantinople will
soon have become an accomplished fact,
and the link from Constantinople TO
Egypt may be expected quite conf

chose they might return by steamship.

WONDERFUL COIN COLLECTION.
One of the Coi1s In the Philsdelphis
Mint Is Worth SEQ.

The Philadelphia mint has a very
wonderful collection of coins, says the
Washington Star Among other curl
osities it includes what is believed to be
the Oldest piece of metal money ever
made, which was minted in Egina
about 700 B. C. The design is in high
relief. representing tortoise crawling
across the face of the coin. 1t has no
date. Date on coins were unknown up
to four hundred years ago. The very
early coins bore designs only on one
face OF all coins that have ever ex-
listed the smallest in value was the
mite" such as the widow in the Bible
dropped through the slot in the poor
box. The most valuable coin in the
collection described is a Chinese piece
worth two hundred and twenty dollars.
1t is simply rectangular chunk of gold
.tamped with Chinese characters.
Lumps OF gold are commonly used in
China for currency of large denomina-
tons A coin minted in Egypt bears

real unvarnished truth of the matter is
embodied in the one all-comprehending
little workman.
Once upon time there was an inno-
cent youth of seventeen who crossed
my path at an age even more tender
than his, and had not seen him since.
So, when my cousin that is married
remarked in her letter of invitation
that my old friend Jack had come home
from college bowling swell, teIe-
graphed that would be there next day.
There is no use going through all
the preliminaries. OF course, / saw
Jack, and, of course, we had the adj
vantage of an old acquaintance and
began where we left off instead of
going back to the beginning again, as
we might have done if / could have
stayed all summer, instead of this one
week.
The first thing we did was to take
row on the little stream near there for
the sake of old times.
The water was very high. and the
river was nearly full Of logs, which the
picturesque log men, in their red fan

Adirondack woods to the sawmills in
different towns along the bank.
The logs are prevented from inter
fering with boats passing up and down
the river by means Of what are called
blooms" These booms are logs chained
together at the ends and extending in
a line for miles, fastened every few
rods TO stone piers, built out near the
middle Of the stream.
In one place two Of these piers have
been built close together with d sort of
platform laid across from one to the
ether.
We rowed along very comfortably
until we came 10 these two piers. The

he asked TO be excused from being

eral appearance the wolverine is a very
stoutly built, long-haired and dark
colored animal, with his colors in about
four values, as an artist would express
it. His head and shoulders are chest
nut-brown, the back is almost black,
while the legs and feet are Jet black,
and the claws white. A very curious
and conspicuous light marking is the
dirty yellow coloring of the thigh.
The fur of this animal is not very fine,
and is chiefly desirable for use in robes
and rugs. Although it is comparative

The most interesting thing about the
wolverine is the total depravity of his

In stealing, his industry is bound

when the owner is away, eats every
thing eatable, destroys good share,
and then carries away everything port
able, hiding his booty in the snow or
in the earth. He even takes articles
that he cannot possibly use, such as
tin pans, clothing, belts and steal
traps; and more than once he has
been known to strip cabin of almost
