A story IL told in the India Rubber
World Of . meek-looking stranger, with
Q distinctly ministerial air, who applied
for permission to look over q large rub
Der factory. He knew nothing at all
about the rubber business, he said,
and, after . little hesitation, he was ad.
mitted. The superintendent showed
him about in person, and the mans
questions and comments seemed to
come from the densest ignorance.
Finally. when the grinding-room was
reached, he fingered little. and asked.
in a hesitating way: Couldn't have
. specimen Of that curious STUFF for my
cabipet?" Certainly" replied the
superintendent. although II was . COM

his mouth. and stop right where

''you are . fraud and a thief. You

SOMETHING ABOUT COINS.
II They Are Plugged or Worn They HaSs
Little Special Value.


II They Are Plugged or Worn They Have
Little Special Value.
As viewed from a numismatic stand
point it is the condition of a coin which
fixes its value. 1t is not the date or
age, except in less than thirty instances,
that is sought for at the big quoted
premiums. Pierced, plugged, badly
worn, scratched coins, or those on
which the dates are illegible, have no
particular value.
A perfectly-uncirculated cent of 1899
would easily bring 500, whereas good
cent of the same date can be purchased
for $40.
For gold there il but limited numis-
matte demand. and the supply IL great
~ in excess Of the demand. The double
eagle Of 1S49 il worth about $500. All
gold dollars are at q premium, and
worth from $1.20 to $1.40 each. Those
dated 1868, 1864 and 1865 command from
$3.50 to "a each, and 1875, 50.
Most numismatic transactions are In
silver coins. A dollar of 1904 is worth
$500; half dollar of 1897 brings $40, and
q quarter Of 1927 commands $40. The
dime of 1904 il the most valuable, being
worth SO, and the half dime of 1902
easily holds the record at 500. A large
copper cent of 1899 would bring $25, and
q half cent of 1876 ia In demand at $40.
A thin silver half dime Of 1909 was
bought by its present holder for $50,
and has been sold at SIS.

HYPHENATED NAMES.



Uee OF tho Uyehen 10 Usually . Piece Of
Selaelcss snobberv.
I Hyphenated names in Europe may be
divided into two categories-namely:
those wherein the hyphen is mere
piece Of snobbery and affectation, and
those wherein it is consequent upon q
legal obligation. The latter are in the
minority and are borne almost in.
variably by legatees and their de-
ecendants, who have inherited proper
~, usually real estate, contingent upon
their lacking the name Of the testator
ON TO their own. Or else they are men
who have married heiresscs and been
accepted IS husbands for the latter ON
the condition that they should append
the family name Of their wives to their
own patronymic.
PEOPLE In the other category who use
the hyphen merely with the object of
creating the impression that they are
OF more ancient lineage than is really
the case invariably prefix, instead of
appending, the additional name, And
It IL this that enables one to dis
anguish the "bona-fde doubl e-barrel,"

"A Specimen.
President Cleveland's daily man fre.
quently contains some of the most re-
markable communications that were
probably ever indited, and If he acted
upon the suggestions. of one-third Of
them congress would be continued In
session the year round, and the tariff
bill constantly undergoing revision.
The greater part Of the queer letters,
says the Columbus Dispatch, are from
fanatics, who urge all sorts of REM
edial legislation to correct what they
believe to be existing evils Of govern
ment or the distress that has been
brought about through the inaction Of
congress. The strangest Of all letters
was received few days ago from q
farmer living in one Of the western
states, who asks for an immediate ses-
sion OF congress to prevent a strike
which he believes imminent among his
laborers. This farmer says that a year
ago he wrote to J. Sterling Morton,
secretary of agriculture, for some rare
varieties Of seed, and also requested
that two ''gondolas" be forwarded, as

two strange looking birds, which have
since produced large flock that PROM
ises to steadily increase. The ''gon-
dolas," he says, are troublesome an
imals, and early in their career it be-
came necessary to employ two laborers,
at cost Of two dollars per day each, to
care for them. As the number aug
mented additional help was required,
until now the farmer has to call to his
assistance quite force of men to care
for them. These men, with those EN-.
ployed around his farm, have threat
ened to strike, and the farmer asks
that the president call congress in SEES
sion to remodel this tariff law SO that
American labor may compete with
cheap European workingmen. The
"gondolas," the farmer asserts, have
been at the bottom Of all the trouble

DON'T SHOOT SOLID SHOT.

10 wonderfully different from the shell
OF twenty-five years ago, says the Wash.
ington Star. In those DAYS one could
watch the projectile as it sailed through
the air In graceful curve, 1T length
bursting. There was even time to get
out OF the way, under favorable circum.
stances. But the new style Of shell
moves at the rate of little more than
half . mile . second. In striking a
metal target, it, energy being trans
formed instantaneously into heat. Il
becomes ed-hot, and flamc Is actually
seen to burst from the point struck.
Such projectile moves, one might say,
In q straight line, and its impact at .
distance of . mile seems almost stimuli.
taneous with the discharge Of a gun.
Such shell, passing near man, will
tear his clothes OF, merely from the
windage. If It comes very near, though
without hitting him, 1t will kill him. He
drops dead without . sign Of wound.
Whereas an old-style shell would burst
into few pieces, the modern proiectile
lies into q myriad of small fragments,
each OF them moving with tremendous
velocity. Il may easily be imagined
that half e dozen six-pound Hotchkiss
shells finding their way into q vessel
