Millions Of Pieces of Chinese Money
Washed Out by Rain.
A large find Of old coins, which have
lain hidden underground for over 1850
years-since the time of the. three king
doms-was accidentally brought to
light last May in the Chushan district,
in northwest Hupeh, during a; heavy
downpour of rain, says Shanghai CON-
temporary. May 4 a considerable tract
of land washed off from hill, and the
landslip exposed the hidden treasure.
The villagers in the neighborhood
fccked to the spot to help themselves
to it, and the news of the strange dis
coNery was at once telegraphed his ex-
cellency Chang Chintung, who ordered
the local officers to gather the coins
with all dispatch.
It is said that the quantity gathered
represents as many as 100000 strings,
and the coins are unusually large, re
sembling in size. those of the Hsienfun
reign (about As years ago) of the pres
emit dynasty. The viceroy is sending
300 strings to Picking under charge Of a
Taotai for the perusal of the emperor,
The coins bear on one side the charac-
ters of the reig of the monarch and on
The other (Szechuen) the seat Of The
government that issued them.

worthy of note. Clerks, curiously

KISSING THE BOOK.
English People Just Learning tn
Scotch Form OF nth Is Admissible.

English People Just learning the
Scotch, Form OF Oath Is Admissible.
With reference to the question asked
in parliament as to kissing the book"
a legal correspondent writes in the
London Telegraph that of late it has
been particularly noticeable that many
witnesses prefer the Scotch form .of
taking the oath-by holding up the
right hand and repeating after the
judge or clerk the solemn words. It
: is only now that people are becoming
cognizant of the fact that they need
not "kiss the book" The clause in the
oaths act of 1883, by which the Scotch
form is admissible, was not inserted to
meet a religious difficulty, but Oh
medical grounds. Many persons have
properly an objection to touching with
their lips a volume which has been
thumbed by scores of unknown per-
sons and may contain the germs of dis
ease. kissing the book is really no
essential part of the old-fashioned
oath, and the Scottish method, if uni
yersally adopted, would defeat the cum
ming schemes of those who think their
conscience is quit of perjury when theg
contrive to kiss their thumb instead of
the book, which is generally a soiled
and evil-smelling thing. A story is
told of Glasgow bailie on the occasion
of witness being sworn before him.
F'Hold up your right ARM" commanded
the lineal descendant of Bailie Nicol
Jarvie. II Gamma dae't," said the wit
ness. "Why not?" "Got shot in that
ARM" 'Then hold up your left ~
"Canna dae that either-got shot in the
ither arm, too" 'Then hold up your
leg" responded the irate magistrate;
"no man can be sworn in this court
without holding up something,"

LONG HAIR A DISGRACE.
IN COrea 1t Is indicative OF Social Os.
tracism Or Mental Humility,

I'm Corea 1t Is Indicative OF Social Os-
tracism Or Mental Humility.
The wearing of long hair in Corea is
indicative of social disgrace or mental
humility, and marks either the penitent
OF the outcast. T he custom Of wearing
the hair long by these classes has
aroused the commercial spirit in certain
speculative natives, and they have set
about the labor of supplying the world
with hair shaved from the heads of their
fellow-countrymen.
When the Mongolian faker desires to
punish himself for a sin-real or fan
cied, it makes no difference-he allows
his hair and nails to grow. In the same
countries the criminal is obliged to let
his hair grow, because the true
oriental despises long hair, and the
wearing of it is a certain sign of peni-
tence or punishment.
Now, of recent years the Coreans
have learned to put these extraordinary
growths Of hair-that is, after they are
cut off-to some commercial use. They
have established factories for the man
1lfacture of mats, horse blankets, sad
die blankets, halters and even whole
sets of harness, all from human hair.
"A carpet factory, in which carpet is
made from human hair, is also located
at Seoul. In this connection it may be
apropos to mention the famous "prayer
rug" of the shah of Persia. 1t was
made in Corea more than a century ago.
It is three feet square and bordered
with diamonds and pearls, and, is con-
sidered of almost fabulous value.

TELL A WOMAN BY HER PURSE,

Things That Nearly Always Indicate
Owners Character and Condition.
It has been stated, perhaps by detec-
tives, that the age and a great knowl-
edge of the whole character of woman
can be gained from the contents of her
pocketbook, says the Chicago Times
Herald.
The business woman always has a
number of receipted bills and guam
tity of cash in her pocketbook, while the
mother of family usually has many
unreceipted bills, little cash, and the
sides bursting with samples and bar
gain advertisements. The average
young lady has favorite poem slowed

store the other morning tortoise shell
portmonnaie was found on the floor.
It contained IS cents, and, far back in
a secret pocket, a poem entitled "Soul
for Soul" It began:
Oh, eyes that pierce me through and
through
And draw my very soul away,
Your sunshine may not fill my life
Nor turn my darkness into day.
Next to that piece of sentiment was a
small card with the young lady's name
and weight printed upon it. On the
reverse side of the card was a date
with the words: eff the sun shines
three days after this, you will have
good luck for nine days." About noon
time, a beautiful little brunette, oil
anxiety and bushes, hurried in to claim
the purse

"What is it now?" asked the next
oldest, with a quayer in his voice. s..
"Charity-not the kind that vaunteth
not itself, but the other sort. It went
to visit poor woman and wouldn't be-
stow an aim because, forsooth, she took
snuff! Why, would have pluhked down
my last quarter to have bought her
snuff. It took me right back to the time
when I used to take eight dozen eggs
to go to the village general store to ex-
change them for snuff to fill my mothers
snuff-box and buy paper of pins."'
''Where might that have been, pard-
ner?" asked the old boy with an ear
trumpet.
"That was in Huron county, O., in
the year 1886, OR Whereabouts. And
can't remember when I ever failed to
get my mother her snuff"
"Eyther eggs was mighty cheap then
or snuff was dear. Why, you could get
a hundred papers of pins with eight
dozen eggs to-day. I'm, not up to snuff,
but if anybody wants to tickle their
nose with the compound they have my

of fourscore.

reminiscent silence settled upon the
