The house toilette for Summer may be as
picturesque and gorgeous as desired, gay col

of decoration lends an added charm to dress

of ribbon, and many bands of insertion and
jabots of lace edging give unique effect and
frequently constitute the chief element of
smartness. The illustration pictures dress

OF HISTORIC VALUE.

Two ancient bronze shields were re-
Gently unearthed from Mitchell Hill,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, says Black
and White. They were found at a
depth of 10 feet, and are supposed to
be LOO years old. In appearance they
much resemble those used by the
Norsemen. The small one measures
IS inches in diameter, and is in a good
state of preservation; the large one
measures % inches in diameter, and is
very much decayed, being entirely
worn out in several places.
During the '70's the Transvaal Re-
public was virtually bankrupt, and in
order to meet the demands on the
Treasury paper money was issued, says
the Strand Magazine. Specifens Of this
money are now very rare. So desper
ate was the state of the exchequer in
those days that On one occasion
change could not be given to an inno-
cent Boer who rendered a sovereign to
pay shillings' worth of taxes. If you
bought 2-penny-wOrth of stamps and
offered a 3-penny piece, you received
in exchange, not an honest copper, but
the bit of cardboard reproduced here,
which informed you it was Good voor
Elm penny" a doubtful statefent, see
ing that if you tried to change it you
received a stamp for the amount.

A GOLDEN ROAD.
California Highway Rich i'm Yellow
Metal.

California boasts a road paved with
gold says the New York Journal. John
Johnson, widower of Bloomfield,
wished to improve the road from his
home to the village of valleyford. For
this purpose he received permission
from Widow Martha Jones TO take rock
from a hillside on her farm.
While carting the rock he noticed
what seemed TO be specks of gold
shining in the sunlight. Seeming
wealth, he sent samples TO San Fran
cisco to be assayed, and learned that
the stone he was building his road with
was gold-bearing quartz worth from IS
to SO a ton.
Then he sought the widow, and,
pointing out the fortune which seemed
TO be hidden in the hill. proposed to
share the cost and profit of develop
ment. But the widow was coy finan-
cially as we'll as sentimentally. She
did not believe in Johnson or his gold
mine story. Her permission had been
given to put the rock on the road, and
that was all she cared to have done
with it,
Johnson was furious, but he saw his
opportunity. The widow had given the
rock for the road-on the road it
should go, even if it were worth 500 a
ton. So all summer long Johnson
wagons worked until four miles of road
were built, but the widow didn't weak

TRADING IN COUNTERFEITS.
An Exchange in Paris Where Walters
Buy False Coins.

An Exchange in Paris Where Walters
Buy False Coins.
The police of Paris recently discov-
cred a regularly organized market
place for the sale of spurious coins of
France, says the Philadelphia Record.
1t was extensively patronized by wait
ers, who lay in a supply of the false
coins to work them off on tourists.
The large stock of false coins seized
yere found to be of quality superior
to that generally uttered by counter
feiters. The idea seemed to be to safely
insure small profits. For instance, a
lot of 5-franc pieces were found to have
an almost bullion value of 3 francs
each. They were sold to the waiter
customers for francs each, thus al
lowing the dishonest purchaser a clear
profit of / franc.
Few people look closely at franc
piece, and a very bad imitation can be
successfully uttered in four cases out
of five. The average price paid at this
exchange for franc pieces was 25 cen
times, or 21a cents. European CONT
mental walters are past masters in the
art of passing counterfeit or demone-
tized coins, foreigners being their vic
Tins.

Mr.. Castle resigned his position as
Collector General on account of i'll
health, not, as an enterprising foreign
correspondent has put it, because he
wished to work in political way
against Minister Cooper. On the con-
trary, the relations between them are
and have been most cordial. When the
announcement was made of Mr.. Cas-
ties appointment to the Washington
post the gossips busted themselves at
once and reported that it was Minister
Cooper's desire to have him out of the
road. That was another campaign lie.
Before Mr.. Castle left Washington,
and at a time when a successor to the
late Frank Hastings was being consid-
cred, Minister Hatch sent for him and
asked him to accept the place, knowing
that he intended resigning from the
Customs Service. He refrained from
giving an answer at the time, and final
ly dismissed it from his mind, until
President Dole asked him 10 days ago
to accept the place. 1t was offered him
because of his knowledge of things Ha-
waiian and because he is a staunch adj
vocate of annexation and because his
property interests on the Islands will
give weight to the opinions he may ex-
press to the public men in Washington.
The men who have been manufacture
ing reasons for Mr.. Castles resignation
from one department and appointment
to a position in another will have to
find something besides an alleged dis
agreement with Mr.. Cooper Their re-
latiOnS are most cordial
James B. Castle was born here, and
is the second son of one of the Oldest
missionary families on the Islands.
His brother, William r. Castle, is an
attorney, and for time during 1895
was Hawaiian Minister at Washington.
Another brother, Henry N, who died a
few years ago, was the editor of this
paper. James B. Castle was at one
time interested in the firm of Castle
& Cooke, established by his father, but
withdrew about II years ago and went
into business in the States but re-
manned only a few years. He has al
ways taken an interest in politics in
the Islands, but his first active part

was in 1898, when the monarchy was
overthrow. When vacancy occurred
in the Custom House he was appointed
ColIector-General, a position which he
held until the first of the present
month. He has contributed largely to
the annexation fund and has made two
visits to Washington in the
interest of the cause.

CHANGES TO BE MADE,

Committee on Schools Will Probably
Dispense With Services of Several As
sistant Teachers.
A meeting of the committee on schools
of the board of education was held yes
terday afternoon to consider the advis-
ability of decreasing the number of as
sistant teachers of the eighth grade in
order to curtail the general expenses Of
conducting the schools. The meeting
was attended by Messrs. James t. Mo
ran, Harry w. Asher, John T, Manson
and superintendent Kendall. Although
the session was an executive one and
the report of the proceedings will not
be made to the board of education I'M
til it's meeting tonight, it was learned
last night from an official source that
the corps of assistant teachers would
be reduced.
The matter was carefully considered
before any action was taken. There
are at present five assistant teachers
In the eighth grade and this number
will in all probability be reduced to
two. To make up for the same the
head teachers will be given more work
and the two assistant teachers retained
will do duty at two schools, at one in
the morning and at the other in the af
ternoon.
The finance committee of the board
met yesterday morning with Corpora
ton Counsel Ely and discussed the
question as to what will be done with
the money left from the special three
mill tax Some time ago Mr.. Ely gave
as his opinion that if any money was
left it would revert back into the city
treasury or would be deducted from
the allowance made to the board from
next years tax list. The close of the
conference of yesterday found the mat
ter in the same position and Mr.. Ely of
the same opinion.
The members of the finance commit
tee think that they should be allowed
to use the money for the general ex-
penses of the schools The regular
meeting of the board will be held to-
night, having been postponed from last
Friday night.
