Forgot to Wear Trousers.

A certain noble lord, who shall be
nameless, during his journey north on
political mission changed his costume
for full highland "rig OUT" intend
ing it as delicate compliment to the
land of the kilt, but when he looked
at himself in the glass he found that
the tailor had cut his kilt too short, so
he made up his mind to put on evening
dress. ,.. -
. He changed his upper garments and
then sat down for few moments to
study his speech. This set him to sleep.
He awoke with start, only to find
himself running into the station. For
getting what happened, he thrust on
his hat and appeared at the window
bowling, and this was how he was
dressed: r FL
He had full highland costume as
far as his waist. Above were white
shirt and swallow tailed coat, and the
entire edifioe was crowned with chin
ney pot hat, upon which he sat down
without noticing it. His lordship's hor-
TOE when he stepped npon the platform
and felt the keen wind cutting his bare
legs changed to absolute agony when
his valet appeared, scrambling out of
the carriage with pair of trousers in
his hands, waving them wildly and ex-
claiming, my lord, my lord, you've
5forg0tten these. London Telegraph.

Changes In Cave Dwelling Animals.

Changes In Cave Dwelling Animals.
''The influence of environment upon
organisms is nowhere more striking, -
says Science, ''than in the case of ami
mails which find themselves aociden-
tally lost in caves and which succeed in
accustoming themselves to the situa-
tion in spite of it's difficulties. M. Ar
mand Wire gives some notes on his OBJ
servations in the Complies Rendus. The
principal difference in the situation
consists in the absence of light and in
the rarity Of animal prey. The eye al
ways becomes atrophied to a degree
which varies with the species and also
with the individual There is some
times difference between the two eyes
Of single individual. The eyes are to
q certain extent replaced by other or
gans of sense; the antenn@ Of the
campodes become, in some individuals,
twice as long as usual and sometimes
longer than the entire body. The tactile
hairs with which the body is covered
obtain an exaggerated development, and
in the crustaceans sometimes even in.
wade the ocular globe. Hearing does not
seem to be accentuated, but the sense Of
smell is very acute, and bit of tainted
flesh becomes invaded in very few
minutes with large colony Of animals.
The organs of digestion become very
considerably modified in those species
which are naturally carnivorous, and
in two staphylins the mandibles were
found to be completely atrophied. Every
animal is more or less completely de.
pigmented, but those which had nc
trace of color remaining began to have
numerous little black spots disseminated
over the whole body after they had
been kept for month in the light, and
these spots were particularly abundant
in those parts (antenn@ and claws,
which had been accidentally lost and
were in course Of restoration. y

MONEY MAKING TN ID ACoMA.

|
Tho City q Destiny Oncs Gsined II own ~.
CASH. Is
Tacoma once had q mint that coined
all Of the money in circulation where
the City Of Destiny now stands, and it
did not require the fiat Of Uncle Sam,
the silver Of Idaho or the gold Of Cali
fornia to make the pieces from Tacoma's
mint pass current among the Indians
and the few hardy pioneers who were
blazing the path Of civilization through
the forest on the shores Of Commence
ment bay, says the Tacoma Ledger.
Back in the early seventies the Taco
ma Mill company, not being able to
handily secure gold and silver for use
in trading with and paying off the In.
dian laborers and early settlers, hit
upon the novel plan Of issuing its own
currency, and to this end set its black
smith to work to fashion for it out
Of scraps of iron and brass pieces Of
money, or, rather, tokens, which could
be used as a circulating medium. The
pieces consisted Of 40 cent and 45 cent
iron tokens and brass 81 pieces. The 40
cent pieces were about an inch in diam
eter and the 45 cent pieces were about
the size Of the present silver half dollar.
The 81 pieces were oval in shape, about
~ inches long. an inch wide and q
sixteenth of an inch in thickness. These
pieces were stamped with the figures
showing their value, and readily passed
current all over the country tributary to
the mill Nearly all Of this old ''mill''
coin has passed away, but few days
ago William Hanson of the Tacoma Mill
company presented set Of these queer
coins to the Ferry museum. In his let
ter to the museum he said:
'The honesty of the people and the
absence Of any blacksmith shop save
that Of the company made the use Of
this money possible. -
Oregon has long boasted that the
Beaver coin, minted at Oregon City
in the early fifties, was the only money
minted in the northwest in the days Of
the pioneer, but here in Tacoma, long
years after Oregon's Beaver mint
had become historical incident, was a
primitive mint that supplied the coin
to furnish the pioneers and Indians with
all of the necessities for their rough
lives The coins, which are still pre-
served, are roughly made, just such as
any blacksmith with ordinary tools
might make, and as a matter of fact
during the early years Of the mill COM
pany's existence formed practically the
local circulating medium Of exchange.
When the Indians who were employed
in the mill were paid for their labor,
this coin sufaced, as all the trading
they did was with the little store run in
connection with the mill. The iron and
brass pieces were, Of course, passed
among the Indians in trading with each
other, and as anything in the way Of
supplies was purchased by them at the
mill store the pieces were fully as good
to them as if they had borne the stamp
Of the government.

REVIVED MEMORY.

When We Grow Old, We Recall the
Things of Long Ago.
About rs years ago, upon rainy
day, small boy who had reached the
mature age Of 6 was sitting with his
mamma and bemoaning the state of the
weather and accompanying absence of
novel entertainment. Mamma wore on
her finger beautiful ring that was a
family heirloom, and as she sewed pa.
tiently the jewel glittered on her little
white hand. The small boy regarded
the bright bauble for some time in
silence and then sweetly requested
mamma to take it off and let him play
with it. It was a weak thing to do,
perhaps, but she complied. dare say
there are mothers at the present day
who can sympathize with her, for ,hu-
man nature is the same, though fash
ions change, and when the "dear
child" looked up in her face pleadingly
he looked with papa's eyes, and papa
was dead. So he got the ring and lost
it, as might have been expected. He
always insisted that he had "put it
away to keep" but he could never re-
member where. 4 -
The years went on. The gentle young
mother went out into the great un-
known to find the light Of her life that
shone in ''papa's eyes," and the. cen
tury and the boy having been young
together grew old in company too
Finally age began to tell on them. The
century got troubled with a complaint
designated "fin de sieole," and the boy
lost his memory for the things of to-
day, but became abnormally reminis-
cent in regard to the past. His thoughts
often turned back to the young mother
long dead, and in the decline of life he
had as clear a mental picture of her as
his boyish eyes had ever seen. One
evening, having pushed his spectacles
on top Of his head and hunted every
where for them vainly, he sat musing
before the fire. when suddenly a flood
Of light illuminated that dark corner
of his memory where hung the picture
of that small edition of himself losing
or ''putting away" the ring. He sprang
to his feet with an excited cry: ''The
ring! The ring! slipped it down the
crack in the window casing-the one
that looks out on the orchard!''
Upon investigation the ring was
brought from it's long hiding place,
which was the exact spot the old man
had described. Buffalo Express.

'That reminds me, remarked an old
pioneer to San Francisco Post reporter,
when General Halleck' g name was men

leck in 1865, when he returned from the
war. The people here were proud of
him, for he had more than regained the

mitted the enemy to escape under the
cover Of a big battery of wooden guns
that had been made out of logs during
the night. ...-
"Among the friends of Halleck VIII

Waterman, the old sea captain, who in
early days commanded clipper ship
plying between San Francisco and New
York. On one. voyage he had laid biz
wager to beat a rival clipper, but when
he found on going to sea that some of
his crew who had shipped as ablebodied
seamen were incompetent he was so mad
he hanged three to the yard. just how
many were hanged was never known,
but Waterman was tried for murder and
acquitted. n.
During one of those silences that
will fall over the merriest of banquets
General Halleck called to Waterman,
who was at the other end of the room:
Now that you have been tried and
acquitted, Waterman, won't you tell us
how many men you hanged on that voy-
age?"
