SCARCITY OF COIN IN CHINA

A currency embarrassment has resulted

try consists Of copper cash" and these
are really the standard for the great bulk
of daily transactions among the people.
Wages are so small and prices 50 low that
there is seldom need of the silver dollar
or tael in retail business. When the rise
in copper became known in the east how
ever these cash" rose to premium,
and were consequently sold and disap-
peared from circulation, greatly to the
embarrassment of the small merchants.
In some of the large commercial centers
an effort was made to supply the deflc-
iency, but it did not go very far after
the authorities found out that copper need

silver tael in cash, cost from IA to IL
taeIs Chinese provincial authorities are
not likely to do business at a loss for the
benefit of the public, and 50 the embar-
rassment continues. A reduction in the
weight or size of the cash would not be
tolerated by so conservative a people as
the Chinese. The issue of subsidiary sill
yer coin is talked of; but it would take
long time to bring this about and even
then it is doubtful whether the people
would take the new coins The problem
is not an easy one to solve under the con-
ditions existing in China

Peacock and Rat.

In an encounter with a rat, one of
the peacocks at the zoo triumphed after
fierce battle. The peacock was bask-
ing on the lawn in front of the small
mammal house. The rodent had been
circulating in the vicinity of the house
and made dash to clear the lawn
for new hunting ground. In some
mysterious manner it bumped into the
peacock or attempted to crawl under
the bird. Whichever it did, the result
was the same. A fight ensued, the like
of which has never been witnessed by
the Oldest keepers of the garden.
The peacock was remarkably alert.
Giving his strident call, he made a
plunge at the rat with a stretch of his
neck. The rat replied with a vicious
snap at the peacock's neck, disturbing
the harmonious arrangement of the
plumage. Another plunge with it's back
and the bird scored a point. The rat
took alarm at the determination of it's
large and beautiful adversary and
started to run. But the peacock was
full of fight, and acted as if it had a
grudge of long standing against the
rat Covering the rodent with one of
it's feet it pulled him back into the
beak hard against the ribs. The rat
was under his heels and, big as he
was, he was determined to give Brer
Rat finish fight
Relaxing his grip upon the rat, the
latter, struggled to his fours, making a
terrific lunge at the peacock's shins,
then at his legs and then again at his
neck. The peacock seemed affrighted
by the rodents ferocity and nimbleness,
and for few seconds was unable to
reach it. Finally, however, he got the
rat again under his slim foot. This
time he meant business. So, twisting
his neck, he grabbed the rat by the
throat, squeezing it with his horny
beak till it ceased squealing. After sew
eral tremors of the rats body, the pea
cock lifted its foot and the rat had
passed away.
Triumphant and proud, the peacock
strutted across the lawn to smooth his
rumpled feathers beyond the gaze of
the spectators. The battle had cost
him four of his best sunset feathers

The Omaha Exposition.

The Greater American Exposition at
Omaha is unique in one notable respect,
It is the first national fair to contain a
United States colonial exhibit. Cuba,
Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam and the
Philippines are all represented. Several
hundred natives of the islands over
which the Stars and Stripes are now
flying are in attendance at the various
villages. There is also an up-to-date
war exhibit to remind visitors of the
victories by which the oceanic islands
We're won. Chicago has contributed its
famous Libby Prison Museum of War
Relics, and it is suitably installed in the
Government building. The renowned
Verestchagin collection of paintings and
the Chicago Records" collection of
original drawings and sketches of the
merican-Spanish war are features OF
the Art Institute. The Midway is fan
tastic, unreal and bizarre, yet, withal,
instructive and entertaining. The
buildings and grounds of the exposi-
ton represent an expenditure of over
50 000,000. The grounds include over
200 acres and the fence around them
is over five miles in length. The sew
eral tracts are beautifully rich with
grasses, flower beds and the richest To-
iage, trees, plants and shrubbery from
California, Louisiana, Florida and Ha-
waii have been imported by the car
load. Most of these are extremely val
liable and rare in this latitude. The
floral adornment throughout is distinc-
lively tropical. More than 100000 new
plants have been set out this year by
the famous landscape artist, Rudolph
Ulrich, palms and oleanders predomi-
mating. A crowning feature of the ex-
position is the electrical illumination.
Nearly $4,000 lights are used in the
lighting of the Court of Honor, flashing
and cleaning from cornice, from arch,
from balustrade to the loftiest spires
and pinnacles, from pillared colonnade

means of saving 8. whole family from
destruction by fire. At half-past IN
the morning a shopkeeper named Ledo
Schniedermann was aroused by his pet
tabby. which was gently scratching his
face.
He tried to drive her away. but as
the faithful feline persisted, he aroused
himself. to find the room full of smoke.
He alarmed a lodger. Hermon Muller,
who was sleeping en- the same floor, and
also his sister and another young woni-
an. They all rushed to the stairs,
where the flames were already spread
ing.
With the exception of the lodger, the
inmates, taking puss with them,
reached a landing, from which they es-
capped to the backyard. Just as the
flames shot right through the spiral
staircase. Muller, who had stopped to
put on his boots, was cut off from es-
cape. The flames reached his room,
and then, throwing out some bedding
he leaped from the second-story VIM
dow. He badly sprained his ankle,
and was taken to the infirmary.
