In an article in today's Globe entitled
a Fair Argument the Washington Post is
reported as saying that the Mexican dollar
is worth only 50 cents in this country be-
cause it is not legal tender in the United
States. How long can such a statement stand
in the face of the fact that the French five
franc piece, which contains nearly q grains
less silver than the United States dollar, is
good for SO cents in this country, while the
Mexican dollar, which contains more silver
than ours, is worth only. so cents here?
Neither Of those foreign coins are legal ten
ders in the United States but Mexico is
free silver" while Frafice is gold standard ?

1he Man Eating Ape.

W. c. Coup, the circus man, has
had many remarkable experiences,
and a reporter asked him if the
dreaded Cry of Hey, Rube!" had
ever sounded in his tent.
"No, he said, "but it came near
it once in small Kansas town,
when fortunately there were no
newspapers to spread the affair pub
licly. l had among the attractions
of the show man eating ape, the
largest ever in captivity. He was
chained to the dead trunk of tree
and looked very ferocious,
ION the day I speak of coun-
tryman handed him piece of tobac-
CO, which the ape chewed with great
pleasure. The word was passed
around that the ape would chew to-
bacco, and several gave him piece
that was FLIED with cayenne pepper.
The ape bit il, then, smarting with
indignation, snapped the fastening
of his chain and yelled: Let me at
i'm, the murtherin ijit. Oil hev
the loife av i'm on me name ain t
Mahoney.' Then he started through
the crowd with a handspike, ready
to strike with, but the culprit es-
capped. I locked the ape a week

any trouble with him. "-Philadel-

Charges Abroad.

I'm our FIVE months trip through

ter to the Springfield Republican,
I'VE have paid our hotel bills in
kroners, rubles, marks, forms, liras,
francs, pesetas, with perfect equa-
nimity, but when our hackman
charged us 1000 refs to take US from
station to hotel we turned pale and
rushed for help to an American min
lister and were about to cable for
money and escape from Portugal.
What is real worth, anyhow we
excitedly asked. We'll, can't tell.
Portugal is bankrupt, but they issue
coupons and you may call 1000 reis

Taking Impressions of Plants.

The following simple method of
taking impressions of plants is due
to M. Bertot of the French Academy
of Sciences. A sheet of paper is
f1rst lightly oiled on one side and
then folded in four, so that the oil
may filter through the pores and
the plant may not come into direct
contact with the liquid. The plant
is placed between the leaves of the
second folding, and in this position
is pressed through other paper all
over with the hand, SO as to cause
small quantity of oil to adhere to
the surface. Then it is taken out
and placed carefully upon white pa
per. Another sheet is placed above
las two impressions can be taken
out at once), and the plant is pressed
as before. Upon now removing it
an invisible image remains on the
paper. Over this is sprinkled pow
dered black lead, which causes the
image to appear. With an assert
ment of pigments the natural colors
Of plants may be reproduced. To
obtain fixity rosin is mixed with the
color i'll small quantity. The impress
sion becomes fixed when it is expos
ed to. a heat sufficient to melt the
rosin. Public Opinion.

Tennessee who. without ever mov-

was born, has been citizen of, two
states and five counties. The ex-
PLANTATION is that her farm lies upon
the state line just where several
counties meet and corner. The early
surveys were not overaccurate, SO
new lines have been run repeatedly,
yet never to the full satisfaction of
the authorities. In the changes the
dwelling has been set now in this
jurisdiction, now in that, and the
owner of it has paid taxes, usually
under injunction, to five sets of off

meanness and thievery one day last
week, says writer in the Boston
Budget. Joe has quite range of
acquaintance in 'Soubrette row."
New York, and as we were to leave
the city the next day one of his
many psyche knotted friends invited
him to dine at her house, and also
to bring a friend to make the party
complete. I was that friend and
helped to struggle at the menu,
which was about all we had. l will
describe the settings anu embellish-
mentS on the table. The tablecloth
came from the Allyn House in Hart
ford. The napkins were stenciled
with names of hotels beginning with
the fremont in Chicago and ending
with the Bay State in Worcester.
The spoons, knives and forks all
spoke of the same absence from their
real homes, and my salad was served
on plate marked Fall River line.

all this, and the question was soon
passed round the table, I've got

you got?" When. Bill Cook gets

THE CHURCH OF ST. SOPHIA
One OF the Most Daring Conceptions I,
the Record of Runan Building.

one OF the Most Daring Conceptions In
the Record of Euman Building,
The Church of ST. Sophia at Con-
stantinople is, next to the Pantheon
at Rome, the most central and his
torlc edifice still standing erect. 1t
is now in its fourteenth century of
continuous and unbroken use, and
during the whole of that vast epoch
it has never ceased to be the imperial
fame of the eastern world, nor has
1t ever, as the Pantheon, been DESC
late and despoiled. Its influence
over eastern architecture has been
almost as wide as that of the Pan
theoE over western architecture, and
1t has been far more continuous. 1t
was one OF the most original, daring
and triumphant conceptions in the
whole record of human building,
and Mr.. Ferguson declares it to be
internally 1.-The most perfect and
beautiful church ever yet erected by
any Christian people. It's interior
is certainly the most harmonious,
most complete and least faulty of
all the great domed and round
arched temples. 1t unites sublimity
OF construction with grace of detail,
splendor of decoration with indie
structible material.
ltavoids the conspicuous faults of
the great temples of Rome and of
Florence, while it is far richer in
decorative effect within than our
own st. Paul's or the Pantheon of
Paris. It's glorious vesture of mar
BILE, mosaic, carving and cast metal
is unsurpassed by the richest of the
Gothic cathedrals and is far more
enduring. Though twice as old as
Westminster abbey, it has suffered
less dilapidation and will long out
last 1t. It's constructive mass and
its internal ornamentation far ex-
ceed in solidity the slender shafts,
! the paintings and the stained glass
of the Gothic churches. In the mas
terly type the mind is aroused by
| the Infinite subtlety of the construc-
ton, and the eye is delighted with
the inexhaustible harmonies of su-
perb design worked out in most
! gorgeous materials.
For Justinian and his successors
ransacked the empire to find the
most precious materials for the
great church. The interior is
still one vast pile of marble, por-
phyry and polished granite, white
marbles with rosy streaks, green
marbles, blue and black, starred OF
veined with white. The pagan tenn.
pies were stripped of their columns
and capitals. Monoliths and colossal
slabs were transported from Rome
and from the Nile, from Syria, Asia
Minor and Greece, SO that, with the
Pantheon at Rome, this is the one
example of grand structure of an
cient art which still remains unruin
ed. The gilded portals, the jewels
pearls and gold of the altar, the
choir adornments of cedar, amber,
ivory and silver have been long de-
stroyed by the greedy soldiers Of
the cross, and the mosaics above,
with seraphim, apostles, prophets
and Christ in glory, have been COW
cred up but not destroyed by the
fierce soldiers of Mohammed. Fort

DOWN THE RIVER ON A STURGEON
AN Exciting Ride Until the Fish Was
Beachet, on a. Sand Ear

An Exciting Ride Until the Fish Was
Beachet; on q Sand Ear.
Among the many Incidents of the
olden time that interest us now
Dr.. j. Russell Hawkins tells us one
that happened in tho James river at
the falls of Richmond in the year
1|19. lie assures US that many of
the leading citizens of Richmond at
that time were oyowitnesses to the
fact, and that he had It straight from
them.
TWAS concerning Martin Hawkins,
an uncle of the doctor. This uncle
was great hunter and fisherman.
In those days the James river was
we'll stocked with shad. In May
they came up from the sea, and
hundreds of people, fond of the
sport, would assemble ON the rocks
in midstream along the falls, and
with dip nets would supply them
selves with all they wanted. Our
hero was at his post, watching for q
catch, when along came an immense
sturgeon and stopped to rub his
sides against the rock, according to
the habit of surgeons, when Mr..
Hawkins concluded that if he could
only get his hands into the gills of
the monster he might succeed in
landing him. Accordingly he crept
to the side of the rock, stopped over
and began rubbing the sides of the
fish near the tail and proceeded
quietly up toward the head until at
last the gills were reached.
With sudden thrust the hands
were sent home to the very inner
jaws of the fish, when it gave a lurch
that jerked the fisherman from the
rock. He fell astride that fish's
back, but his hands were held as in
wise. For moment all was sur
prise and interest; then both fish
and rider sank in the deep, roaring
waters OF the food. The spectators
were aghast with fright. They
thought their friend was lost. But
after few moments fish and fisher
man came to the surface about 100
yards down the. river and remained
at the surface long enough to
breathe, then sank again. A mo-
ment later they rose again, and then
again and again as the waters bore
them away. They passed under
Mayo's bridge, half a mile from the
starting point.
People along the shore became ex-
cited and gave chase, as best they
could. In the meantime the fish was
being exhausted, and the rider had
discovered it and began to try to
steer for a sand bar, then q little
way below them. This he reached
successfully, and here, after strug.
gle, he dragged his trophy ashore on
the Chesterfield side of the river and
on. the side opposite from the point
of starting. Richmond was then a
small town, and in a little time this
strange adventure was known to
every inhabitant. An ovation fol
lowed. The fish, which measured
10 feet and weighed 800 pounds, was
served up in manner to suit every
taste, and the night that followed
this episode was spent in high glee,
and the distinguished adventurer
was ever afterward known as Mar
tin Hawkins, the sturgeon rider.
This gentleman died in his seventy
third year at the residence OF a
friend, Daniel Burton, about ten
miles west of Richmond. Rich

Of the Northern Pacific Railroad as
TO the form of the charter the
is to have or whether it is advisable
to foreclose the property at present. in
view Of the fact that the present Con-
gress has failed to give the company a

Street to the effect that the failure Of
Congress to pass the expected legisla-
ton was partly due to the efforts Of

Northern Pacific refuses to adjust.

The bicycle trust does not seem to
have been a success. The sudden ces-
sation in the demand for wheels has
caused several failures among bicycle
manufacturers and a big drop in prices.
Bicycle agents and manufacturers saw
there is no possibility of a trust, as the
smaller manufacturers would not he
come parties to it, but the rumors have
had the effect of precipitating a war Of
rates, and the result is that wheels are
selling at from 1872 to s48. where
US and Si00 were formerly the prices.
This does not apply to all makes. Il
is said the actual cost of labor, mate
rial, and freight charges in a bicycle
ranges from $32 to $3S, SO manufactur-
ers. 1obbers and agents have apparently
had a handsome margin of profits to
divide.
