A minister in the far west during
the past few years has made col
lection of curious and worthless money
given at the services of his church.
His exhibit includes Peruvian, Hawai-
ian and Swedish coin, also quarters
and dimes, punched, battered, defaced,
which he would not attempt to pass
for their face value, and could not pass
them if he made the attempt. He has
given notice that the defaced coin will
be sent to the mint and sold as bullion,
or melted and made into some article
of church ware. Such matter-of-fact
statement is worth more than a
hundred jests TO show that the collec-
template indicates the possible char
acter of contributor. If consciously
used in this way the debased coin
represents a deception. The giver
knows that his tradesman would hest
tate to accept the coin in trade. To
drop it into the contributionbox ID

RAGE FOR MINIATURES.
A Charming Old Fashion That Is Being


A Charming Old Fashion That Is Being
Revived.
Too many of our old time fashions
are going out, but one at least is COM
ing in again. l speak of the wearing
of miniatures, says the Woman at
Home. There is, indeed, quite a rage
for these delicate little portraits Just
now of our fairest women and chill
dren. You may have them IN any size
you may choose; wear them as lock-
cts or in buttons, Wristbands or shoe
buckles. They are charming, too, in
serted as medallion on the cover
of an ivory or tortoise-shell notebook,
card case or pet volume of any kind
And imagine miniature would be-
come the top of lovely scent bottle
upon ones toilet table. Only the other
day / heard of an American million
aire who gave orders to fashionable
miniature painter to emblazon his
watch case with flowers of rare en-
amel round the cherub heads of his
two tiny daughters. For my part, l
would like on opening the watch to
see the inside of the case disclose the
smiling face Of one near and dear to
me. IT'S such pretty, dainty art,
that of miniature painting! 1T needed
but that we should wait" for the re-
vival of so attractive a vogue. Our
great and great-great-grandmot
chose to wear the miniatures of their
beloved ones in thin gold medallions,
suspended by black-watered ribbon
round their necks and fastened with
gold pin or brooch over the left
breast. l doubt not we shall be doing
likewise in the year of grace 1897.
Great ladies, and ladies who like to
follow their betters, are giving orders
right and left to miniature painters.
The best ground for the work is, of
course, ivory, which is practically in
destructible. But, although We have
some clever and careful artists, the
brilliant and charming work of others
of bygone day is by no means
eQualed.

An Apt Comparison.

The following is an interesting COM
parison: Suppose that farmer raises
one thousand bushels of wheat year,
and also sells this to one thousand per-
sons in all parts of the country, great
portion of them saying, I will hand
you dollar in short time The
farmer does not want to be small, and
says, All right Soon the one thou
sand bushels are gone, and he has moth
ing to show for it, and he then realizes
that he has fooled away his whole crop
and its value Is due in thousand little
driblets. Subsequently he is seriously
embarrassed in business because his
creditors, each owing him one dollar,
treat 1t as small matter, and think it
would not help much. Continue this
business year In and year out. rs the
publisher Of q newspaper does. how
long would he stand it?"-Press ana

1t Surrounded Cemetcry-Lfve Fishes
Also Become Booty.
Two of the most unique cases of
thieving on record are being investigat-
ed in Haverhill, Mass. says the New
York Press. One is the stealing of 49,
600 live fish and the other the theft Of
q big stone wall surrounding the GEM
etery of the Hebrew Burial association.
This is the first instance ever chroni-
cled Of the larceny Of a stone wall
from a graveyard. Last fall Charles
Goodrich constructed an artificial lake
on his estate and stocked it with "shin-
ers" which he intended to sell this
winter. Yesterday he had the sale and
went in search of the fish, but found
that they had all gone. The lake was
still there, and as there is no outlet
mystery.
The Hebrew Burial association pur-
chased twenty acres of land near the
Whittier homestead two years ago. It
inclosed the lot with stone wall. The
wall has taken wings just as mysteri-
ously as did the fish in the artificial
lake.
The members of the association claim
that the stones were taken when the
Millvale reservoir was built, and they
say that they will bring suit against
the water board. The members of the
board, however, deny that they touched
the stones at all and say that they got
their stone from lot of land which
they purchased.
the stolen wall was about half
mile long. 1t is estimated that there
was nearly 1000 cords of stone in the
wall. Haverhill thieves have certain
ly selected strange booty. What have
they done with it? Where could they
hide it? The folk of Haverhill say
that man who will steal the fence
from a graveyard willy hesitate at moth
ing.
