It Is curious fact that most numis-
matists are partial to collections Of copper
rather than gold or even silver One OF
them said recently that ho would scarcely
turn around to look Mt rare gold coin,
whilo no would travel miles to SEQ an
equally raro copper one. This peculiar
phenomenon is explained in two ways. In
the first place, copper collections are much
safer from theft than those Of gold or sill
yer, as the latter, if stolen, may be melted
and disposed of in bulk at market price
that is quite an object TO the burglar or
sneak thief
The material, however, in old copper,
bronze or brass coins Of low faco value is
not worth stealing and the coins them
selves cannot DO disposed Of without melt
ing, as they can be identified and the thief
thus detected. In the second place, It Is
not a rare thing to find gold or silver
coin, especially the former IN a state Of
perfect preservation, while the reverse is
true Of the copper coin. The lattor, being
cheap and common, are not boarded and
preserved with tho same care as the more
precious bits Of metal but arc exposed to
bruises to the wear Of tho pocket,
and to the corrosive action Of the atmos-
phero- This makes perfect copper coin
an object Of strong desire on tho part Of
the numismatist, who preserves such
find with greatest care. One collector
places his valuable collection Of cents in
Individual boxes, the coins being wrapped
In cotton, and tho whole stock packed
away In the vaults of trust company -

An extraordinary love tragedy, recalling
the story Of Romeo and Juliet, Is reported
from Altfodt, Irma. Some time ago the
daughter Of a highly respected family made
tho acquaintance Of an employee Of the To-
cal administration, whose uncle is ono Of
the princes Of the Hungarian church. The
two fell deeply in loyo and often met by
stealth, rs the young mans parents could
not forget a lawsuit they had had with tho
girls family and which was decided
against them. The girls father, who was
once millionaire, but whom speculation
had reduced, tried to persuade his daugh-
ter to marry rich landowner who was
anxious to mako her his wife, The young
man succeeded, however, in getting q dis
pensation through his clerical uncle, and
q secret marriage was performed
A week ago the girls parents again
made a violent scene to induce her TO
marry the landowner. Sho took their
words so much to heart that sho took
large dose Of opium and next morning
was found unconscious in her bed. The
young husband, hearing tho news, ran o
the house and in the general confusion
entered her room. Seeing her palo and
and believing her dead he blew
his brains out with revolver ho had
brought with him. Tho report woke the |
young woman, whom the opium had held |
in trance When she saw her lover life |
less ON the ground near her, she took the /
revolver from his dead hand and shot her |

The raradI.e d the RheumatIe.

On first arriving in Wieshaden, the trav-
eler can scarcely believe himself to be in
health resort, all tho appearances being
those Of a considerable town with long and
busy streets and putting steam tram.
But on coming nearer to tho visitors
quarter, with its beautiful and we'll shaded
park, its fine kurhaus and tho Kochbrun-
men, where crowds Of patients are assem-
bled to take the water, the sccne Is totally
changed. Wiesbaden indeed unites tho adj
vantages Of thriving town Of about So
600 inhabitants with the requirements Of
a highly fashionable health resort. It Is
therefore not only q place where people 90
for the benefit Of thor health, but has also
for long time been favorite residential
locality for retired military officers, civil
ian officials, and business mon, who APP
preciato its genial climate with its uddi-
tional attractions Of theaters, concerts and
other amusemonts, while they can live
there as comfortably as IN Berlin OF Frank
fort and at much less expense than in
those towns.
In summer the temperature is rather
high, but nevertheless wo saw a number Of
patients. Tho principal seasons arc OF
course tho spring and autumn, when all
tho hotels and boarding houses arc over
but even during winter there arc
many patients, as the climate permits
thom to enjoy the fresh air during a great
part Of the day. Wieshaden Is the para
disc of the rheumatic. Thoy can take hot
alkaline baths without going out Of doors,
rs nearly all tho hotels arc connected with
bathing establishments There are also
excellent arrangements for massage, hydro
pathic treatment and other therapeutic
necessary for this class Of suffer-

They didn't belong to club. Thereby
hangs this tale, which Is true and Of local
poloring. There were just three Of them-
Mrs. Flyeree, Mrs. Timballs and Mrs.
Fosterby-and they were oongenial to a
woman. They were having dinner at the
homo Of ono Of them. The husbands OF
them were away.
NJ think, " said one Of them, "that 1t
would be perfectly lovely to have a club
dinner club"
Il, too" said the others Of them.
"Whom shall we invite?"
~ would suggest Miss Smithers, said
one.
"Never," said the second Of them. "Not
for one moment. She's too snippish, and
she rouges. " That ended Miss Smithers
"NOw, there's Mrs. De Lue," said the
third Of them. "She gives fine dinners,
and her crest and coat Of arms would look
perfectly splendid on The name cards
% Yes, said the first Of them, but her
husband is dreadful, and he might want
to ask the men sometimes. Thus endoth

She s such a splendid conversationalist, "
said tho first Of them.
"Too intellectual wouldn't think Of

'To tell tho truth, " said the third Of
them finally, "there Is absolutely no one
quite good enough to belong to this club
but ourselves" And that is the way tho
Three Spot club was formed. It probably
would never have leaked out, but the hus-
band Of one Of them came home unexpect-
eddy and was moan enough to listen

A lady who Is now visiting friends here
says the Chicago Chronicle, recalls a very
amusing experience which happened when
she was In Washington several years ago,
and Mr.. Cleveland was serving his FIRST
term in the White House. She, with a
large number OF others, was at ono Of the
triweekly presidential receptions, and, like
some others, whom she camc to shake
hands with the president got q tFiilo rat
tied and forgot the pretty speech sho In
tended to doliver. Instead sho graspcd the
presidents hand, and, looking earnestly
IN his face, said, Elbow do you do
6royerY" She IS a pretty woman, and the
president held on to her hand and looked
In her face, which finally became scarlet,
although she could not refrain from laugh
ing, especially as the president was laugh
ing mther heartily himself After wait
ing few seconds, which seemed an hour
TO the lady, he replied, II am very well
indeed, and very happy to have mot you.
With o oOurtly bow no released her hand,
and sho passed On. What on Garth was
the president saying to you, and what did
you say to himg inquired lady who was

Country folks still have an odd belief
