and this can be proved Ii people bat

youngest and best dressed men,

erable enjoyment in regarding their

men will loiter before a mirror and
examine their image with rs much
anxiety as does the young beau start

Birthday Flowers.

A little girl, poorly-clad, and with
a small coin tightly clenched in her
hand, hastily entered the store OF a
fashionable florist.
Il want the best bouquet you can
give me for 10 cents" she said To a
clerk, who smiled audibly at her re-
quest.
"Id advise you 10 wait till next
summer, missy he said, in patron
izing way Flowers don't grow in
greenhouses for nothing"
The snub was lost on the child,
who said eagerly

She was as grand as though it had
been $40.
''Go where the woodbine twineth,
caroled the clerk, we have no 10
cent bouquets here"
The ch Id locke at him with in
credulous eyes How could he spcak
so lightly OF what appeared TO her
like actual wealth. Tears OF cruel
disappointment rose in her eyes, and
she turned awav.
A young Z ri who was tying up
flowers had overheard this dialogue
and was sorry for the child. She
whispered hurriedly tO the Serrk:
There are the waste flowers, Mr..
Smith. They haven't been thrown
away vet, and some OF them look
pretty fresh
The girl was 50 much in earnest

what Seigniorage ~.

Strictly speaking. seigniOrage Is
the charge made by any national
government for coming bullion on
private account. IL usually takes
the form OF a certain PERCENTAGE,
liked by law and deducted from the
metal brought 10 the mint. In other
words when an individual brings TO
government mint "A quantity OF one
Of the precious metals 20 be coined on
his private account, he will receive "A
weight OF CONS equal 20 the pure
metal brought less the percentage
deducted as compensation 10 the gov
eminent for It's services and in
cidental expenses OF coinage, and
plus the weight OF alloy. At the
present time the United States makes
no charge for coming gold, and does
not receive silver. copper or nickel
for coin &c on private account.
Therefore the term seigniorage Is not
strictly applicable TO any transaction
that takes place In connection with
Federal IN nts
However, as used In current discus
sion of the silver question, the term
is taken TO mean the nominal profit
made by the government on It's pur-
chases of silver and the co mage OF
the same. TO illustrate: The pres

What Causes Thunder?

The generally-accepted theory OF
the cause OF thunder never satisfied
me-" said well-known physician.
1t seems TO me that, instead OF be-
ing caused by the vacuum produ ed
by the electro bolt going through
the atmosphere, IL would be more
plaus BILE TO attribute it TO the re-
verse OF ContractiOn-to expansion.
l mean that the facts attending the
phenomenon OF thunder are such as
TO warrant my putting forth the the
orr that the cause OF il is the ex-
plosion OF the oxygen produced by the
act on OF the electricity upon the air.
One or the arguments In favor OF this
theory Is the great amount OF ozone
TO be found in the atmosphere after
thunder storm. Then, if IL was con-
cussiou OF the air rushing into the
vacuum that caused the noise, heat
would be produced, whereas after
every peal Of thunder you will notice
a sheet OF ram falls. showing that in-
stead OF heat be ng produced the at
mosphere must get colder 10 produce
