HOW IT WOULD WORK.
Free Coinage in the United States
 Would Hurt Mexico.

DENVER, Sept. 9.-Devid Block, one of the largest diamond dealers in the City of Mexico, is in the city on his way east to purchase a stock of goods.
 q expect to realize 20 per cent on my investment this year." said he We are getting an unusual number of Americans in Mexico, who come to invest their capital. Americans are going into business in Mexico because there is no field here where they can invest their money. Our money is cheap, but I do not think it a bad thing after all. A passage of free coinage law by the United States would hurt Mexico, for we would not get your capital there that we are get ting now. The increase of money in circulation here would give your cap italists more opportunity to invest in home enterprises. One benefit Mexico would derive through an American free coinage law is that we would have our silver minted into United States dollars and get face value for them by purchasing your commodities"

FAVORABLE TO ANNEXATION.
Hawaiians Believe the Japanese Are
 Becoming Too Numerous

SEATTLE, Sept. 9.-lH. G. Whitney, ex-postmaster general of the Hawaiian islands, who has just arrived from Honolulu, reports strong revival of the annexation feeling on the islands and says it is greatly intensified through the belief that should Hawaii be annexed to the United States the threatened Japanese troubles would be entirely wiped out by the abrogation of all existing treaties.
 By what is known as the Gibson treaty, entered into with Japan about twelve years ago, Japanese may pour into the islands in unlimited num- bers. They now number 25,000 and are coming, Whitney states, at the alarming rate of 5000 year. He thinks it is only a question of a few years until the Japanese will outnum- Der the natives and naturalized popu- lation and in that case would cause serious trouble They are already de manding the night of franchise, which by treaty is conferred upon them as soon as they can read and write the English language.

TERRAPlN CATCHING.

 Because of Their One Unvarying Habit.

Taken Most Abundantly in Cold Weather
 Because of Their One Unvarying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter rapin in large numbers hasyet been de- vised. A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look for them. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.

CARVED HIS OWN COFFIN. An English Craftsman Puts His Art to a
 Strange Use.

Strange Use.
 A coffin yarn from England is this, from a Nottingham paper: 'The hobby of an old gentleman, who has just de parted this life in Duddlestone, was wood carving. Being of independent means he was able to devote his time to the craft and become very artistic craftsman. After filling his house with hand-carved furniture he turned his att tention to the carving of an oaken coffin, to contain his remains. Over the richly-carved panels he spent much loving care. In this coffin de luxe he was buried recently, and in accordance with minute instructions in his last will and testament, was followed to the grave by one mourner only-a young man to whom he had left the bulk of his property, ignoring all of his rela- tives. The coffin was conveyed to the churchyard in the old genteman's pri- vate vehicle, drawn by his favorite pony"

The Farms of Denmark.

Out of 226,000 farms in Denmark only 1900 are over 25O acres in extent and most of them are worked by their own CTS. By their great technical knowl- edge of their business and the gradual change from growing grain to breeding cattle and dairy farming the Danish farmers have suffered less from trans atlantic competition than those of any other European country.

APpliCA OF A FABLE.
A Sheep's Skin Hides the Form of 8 Hu-
 man Wolf.


 The story of the ass who clothed him. self in 6 lions skin in order to pass himself off as the king of beasts is we'll known, but the tale of the thief who got inside sheep's skin to be better able to carry on his nefarious trade has yet to be told, says the London Telegraph. Early one morning two policemen, who were on duty at the slaughter houses of Paris, were aston ished to see a sheep endeavoring to effect an entrance into the inclosure where creatures of it's kind were dou- bled when mans hand protruded from beneath the stolen fleece. Their curi- osity became intensified and they care fully followed the sham animal, who stopped at the pen which inclosed the real article, and with great coolness chose the two largest and fattest of the flock.
 Still observed by the watchful guard ians of the law, this plagiarist of an ancient fable proceeded to kill and cut up his capture, and was on the point of making off with his booty when he found himself ill turn the spoil of the law and was quickly marched off to the police station, where he gave his name as Eugene Lassot. From his ac- count he made good living out of his occupation by selling the meat to vari- ous butchers. For some time, at least, it is to be hoped, that the animals at the abattoirs will cease to be sent to an earlier death by the depredations of this latest wolf in sheeps clothing.
