To read an inscription on silver
coin which, by much. wear, has be-
come wholly obliterated, put a poker
in the fire, when red hot, place the
coin upon it and the inscription will
plainly appear of greenish hue, but
will disappear as the coin cools. This
method was practiced at the Mint to
dl, cover the genuine coin when silver
was called in.

proposition will be able to make a re-
port this evening at the meeting Of the
Trustees. The spring is upon US, and
fresh products will be soon coming in.
With the utmost activity possible the
market cannot more than be made
ready In time. Indeed, 1t ought to be
now open, as there is not only demand
for 1t, but a pressing one. No opposi-
tion has developed to the scheme, and
If any should. 1T cannot stand against
the obvious justice and beneficence of

II King of Italy has been COM
pelled by need Of sound advice to send
for ex-Premier Crispi to give counsel
upon affairs of State. If this story by
wire is true, Di Rudlni by self-respect
will be forced to tender his resignation
as Premier. The King could have shown
him no greater discourtesy. However,
1t appears that Di Rudini's policy is in
ill-favor with both people and King,
and that the latter is changing his views
relative to the Abyssinian policy. He
finds that his people are bitterly op-
posed to the Ministry plan, and even in
Italy the voice Of the people has pow
erful influence with the crown. The age
has gone when Kings can ignore the
sentiment of the people over whom they
rule.
