Strange Clew to a Murder.

A rich Russian banker had been
discovered murdered in his house in
St. Petersburg, says a writer in the
Green Bag There was no clew, but
in the room there was found cigar
mouth piece containing part Of cigar
of such an expensive kind that it was
supposed the banker himself had been
smoking it just before the crime had
been committed.
On close examination the mouth
piece was found to be worn away by
the teeth of its owner, but the dead
mans teeth did not fit the indentation.
The servants were one by one ex-
amined, and it was then, found that
the hollows of the mouthpiece COM
pared exactly to the formation of the
front teeth of the cook, to whom no
suspicion had been attached. He af>
terward confessed to the murder.

AFour-Dollar Gold Piece.

A curiosity in the shape of 81 gold
piece was offered at the sub-treasury
in Cincinnati. This is probably the
first time in the history of the office
that coin of that denomination was
ever beheld by the attaches. The
coin came from the Fifth National
Bank, to which one of the depositors
had taken it to find out how much it
was worth. The tellers at the bank
were unable to decide the question,
and the coin was sent to Uncle Sans
employees in the Federal Building, but
no one there would accept it for the
Treasury for its face value.
Coin Teller Robert Brasher, who is
numismatist of considerable repute, as
we'll as Teller White, who is consid-
cred one of the most expert counter
felt detectors in the country, and
Cashier Stout, said that they had
never heard of the Government coin
ing piece of money of that denomina-
ton, and that they would not accept it
even at its face value. The tables CIV
ing the coinage of money from the
earliest date to the present time were
looked up, but there was no record OF
the Government ever having coined
81 gold piece. The coin that was pre-
sented was placed on the scales and
was found to weigh 10S 2-1O grains,
making it worth about twenty cents
more than its face value.
The description of the coin is as
follows: Tt is almost the size of a SIS
gold piece. On the face around the
outer edge are the words: Omitted
States of America. Just underneath
this, in small type, are the words: ''E
Pluribus Unum." In the center is a
star bearing the following: Zone
stella, 400 cents" Underneath the
star, in small letters, are the words:
"Deo est Gloria. On the diverse
side, in the centre, is head of the
Goddess of Liberty. Above this on
the outer edge are thirteen small stars,
Between the stars are the following
letters and figures: 6, G., 3, S, Z, G,
7, G, r, A, M, S. Underneath the
head is the observation-disclosures

Victoria christened From Golden Font.

Victoria Christened From a Golden Font.
James Cassidy writes of the sGirl-
hood Days Of England's Queen" for
st. Nicholas. Mr.. Cassidy says Of
Queen Victoria:
When the child was a few months
old she was christened; and the chris
ing was very grand affair. No COM
mon marble or stone font was used;
gold font was thought necessary. And
so a gold font was brought from the
Tower of London, where it had been
kept for safety.
One Of the sponsors was Gear Alex
ander Of Russia; and hence it was that
the name chosen for the baby was
Alexandrina Victoria, the second name
being that of her mother.
A fine, healthy, lively child, with
blue eyes and fair hair, was the
Princess, and it seems she suffered
little from the trials Of infancy.

How a Manned Canary Bird Sleeps.

With one leg hanging broken and
helpless from it's body and the other
grasping firmly the swing of its cage a
remarkable canary owned by Mrs.
Joseph Printer, of Penn avenue and
Thirty-fourth street, continues to
swing while it sleeps. High up in its
cage it lands On its perch at dusk, and
slumbers while it rocks until daylight.
It reaches the swing by studied leap
from the bottom of the cage. Con-
fnement has long since removed the
energy from its wings.
A clumsy grocer's assistant, led out
of curiosity to cape at the bird, jostled
its cage from the hook, broke. the
birds leg, almost sent its owner, who
priced it beyond money value, into
Mysteries, and aroused the indigna-
tion of a Sixteenth Ward neighbor-
hood. A physician kindly mended
the fracture. He put it into splints,
and his order to bring about a cure
recommended that all the perches in
the cage be removed, so that the
canary would be unable to reach the
swing until the broken limb took hold
again.
= The canary fooled the physician,
however, and for over week it has
been sleeping on the swing and swing
ing all the time, while nursing frac-
tured limb.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

There is good story of Charles
Warner, who was depicting on the
boards powerfully pathetic part.
He was made up marvelously to look
starved to skin and bone, lettering
on the verge of death from starva-
ton, gasping for breath and weak
from emaciation. Still he had on
his finger flashing diamond ring,
and the sarcastic gallery reproved
him for it one night. At the crucial
moment the hero faltered out in
agony to the gallery:
Good heavens, if this fails, what
shall / dor"
The answer floated down unex-
pectedly from the top seats:
Pawn yer ring, Chawlie"

CuriousAC conner Mining.

The United States consul at Santi-
ago de Cuba reports that about nine
miles from that town there are cop
per mines, having shafts from 900 to
1900 feet deep, which were regu-
larly worked until 1857, since which
time they have been abandoned and
have become filled with water, all
but 300 feet of their depth being be-
low sea level. But in later years
copper was obtained from the
drowned mines in an interesting
manner. The water with which
they are filled holds a considerable
quantity of copper in solution, and
this water was pumped out into
tanks. Scraps of iron were then
thrown into it, and the dissolved
copper became deposited on the iron.
When the deposit grew sufficiently
thick it was broken off, and the iron
was thrown back into the water to
gather q fresh incrustation of the
red metal. youths Companion.

Unnecessary Generosity.

Jose Maria, Spanish brigand who
had received pardon of the govern
ment on condition that he renounced
his exciting and unlawful profess
sion, used to tell most entertaining
stories of his past. On one occasion
he said he had robbed an English
gentleman and his servant of their
horses and everything they pos
sessed save their clothes.
The 'Englishman was pleasant,
attractive youth and submitted to
the robbery with great good humor.
This appealed to Jose Maria, and as
they were 40 miles from Seville,
whittier the traveller was going, he
determined that he should not walk
that distance and gave him back his
servants horse and a doubloon ($16)
out of the 200 he had taken.
The youth thanked the robber
warmly and added that he had still
a great favor to ask.
will you not return me my
watch7" he said, 1T was the part
ing gift of my dear father"
lis your father alive, asked Jose
Maria, land does he love you very
much2"
"Oh, yes!' said the youth. He
lives and loves me.
Then. said Jose Maria, II shall
keep the watch, for if your father
loves you SO dearly he is sure to
give you another"
