An Unanswerable Statement.
Secretary Hays reply to the petition OF the Boer ENJOYS and
the Presidents firm stand all the

administration as relates this matter begins with the

and Beers that contains plain ntimaton that the
government ready its good offices to that end it

It's services we're officially solicited by either of them

An Interesting Discorerr.

Al interesting discovery has reward ed the researches of officials at Hamp- ton Court palace, London. There has always lurked 8 suspicion that the walls Of the famous Queen Anne's drawing room. which is in the center of the east wing Of Wren's famous building. contained more than the sec I ond rate portraits of the Georges. Never however, was it supposed than an im- portant work by that once famous dec- orative artist, Verrio. had been con- cealed from the public eye since 1735, owing to stupendous act Of randal- ism, which, it is presume. was car- ried out by Queen Caroline in 1735, probably to prevent the apothesis of Queen Anne from meeting her eyes in her drawing room when she became queen. The date is known by the ex- traordinary act of the paper hanger of that time, who, in covering up Verrio's work, scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging. In taking down some of the portraits of the Georges, which were intended for Ken sington palace, it was noticed by an official that the top right hand corner closed to the ceiling seemed abruptly cut off from the general scheme of the beautiful ceiling, which everyone had seen and admired, and which repre- sented Queen Anne in the chariot of Justice. dressed in purple lined with ermine. Over her head is a crown, held by Neptune and Britannia, while surrounding and floating in the clouds are various allegorical figures repre- senting Peace and Plenty, etc. The discovery now made shows that the whole of the walls were originally painted by verrio in the same manner. the subject being Queen Anne's apotheosis as Queen of the Sea in the tour great quarters of the globe.

GANG NEEDLE MACHINES.
one of the Many Varieties Of Sewing
 Machines Made Nowadays.


 It is a more or less familiar fact that sewing machines are used nowadays for sewing many different materials, as leather, paper, canvas, carpets, rub Der. They are used for making but tonholes and sewing on buttons. They are made of many types and ill simply hundreds of varieties for special uses. But it may not be known so common ly that there are many sewing ma chimes now made with more than one needle. The first of these, two- needle machine, was made in the early eighties, about fifteen years ago. It was used by manufacturers of heavy clothing, perhaps first of all by the overall manufacturers, making seams stronger by putting in two rows of stitching The utility and economy of the two-needle machine soon became apparent and it came into widespread and diversified use Whenever two rows of stitching were to be made, two-needle machine was used. A fa- milfar illustration of the work is seen in the two parallel lines of stitching running with perfect exactness around the top of a shoe vamp. Shirt sleeves are stitched into the body of the shirt on a double needle machine, the two rows being made in the same time that 1t would take to make one. Collars and cuffs were stitched on two-needle machines, as were great variety Of these things, and later there were pro- duced machines with more than two needles, the first of these coming into use within five or six years. There are now made sewing machines with as many as twelve needles. A twelve needle sewing machine simply has twelve needles where the ordinary sewing machine would have one. h. stead of single spool of thread on the top of the machine there appears there a rack of twelve spools. There are twelve tension disks. The thread from each spool runs through it's own ten sion disk to its own needle. There are below twelve shuttles, one for each needle. When this machine is oper- ated, it makes twelve rows of stitch ing, just as an ordinary machine would make one. The twelve-needle machines are used chiefly in the manufacture of eorsets.

A RAPE DOLLAR.
a Big Lawsuit Over Its OwnersEfp-
 S1,5o0 Offered For It.

The New York Evening Post re- ports curiously complex situation at Racine. Wis, over the ownership of a silver dollar of the coinage date of s1S04. It is said that only one of four of tbese dollars ever left the mint, and they are consequently very valuable The dollar in question was given sew eral months ago by woman whose name. if known, is kept secret, to Lad islar Altmann, a clerk in the dry goods store of L. T. Hartnett in payment for goods bought. The woman did not know that the dollar was worth more than it's face value; in fact, she hesi- tated about using it at all for fear that 1t was not genuine. The clerk, with. out knowing how rare the coin was, recognized it as an odd piece and put 1t into his pocket, handing over to the cashier a dollar of his own. For sev- eral months thereafter he carried the 1904 dollar about as pocket piece. One day he showed it to friend at a bank and was informed that it was worth not less than $500. h order to verify this estimate he sent it to a coin buyer in Chicago. who promptly offered $500 for it. The clerk stil! did not sell, having heard that sim- liar coin had sold for a still larger sum in New York. But. though he did not sell, he talked, and the story reached the ears of Mir. Hartnett. his employer. Mr Harnett promptly claimed that the dollar either belonged to the funds of the store or to the woman who had rendered it without knowing its value. He demanded that 1t be returned and held for the wom- an If she could not be found he claimed that the coin belonged to him. The clerk claims that he was justified Tn substituting his dollar for the one paid in. and pertinently calls attention to the fact that had the coin proved a bad one he would have been held re- sponsible. Both sides have employed attorneys and a lawsuit seems in- e~itable.

Antioue Pisnos,

Frarnkfort-on- -the-M Main Correspond ence of the Chicago Record: There is a very interesting collection of old pianos in the Roman museum at Hilde> sheim, Germany. Dating all the way from the end of the seventeenth een- tury, the collection exhibits in a very instructive way tke primitive origin of piano manufacture, and gives one an idea of the simple instruments used by our greatest music composers. The oldest instrument OF exhibition is small clavichord of the seventeenth century, possessing thirty-four tones with twenty-eight tWo-ehoral bound strings. Another of equal antiquarian value has four full octaves-a one chord Italian spinet, built at an angle and possessing a rich and beautiful tone for singing aceompaniments. The strings are rifted with pointed crow quills. Both instruments date from the time of Handel, Bach and Gluck One instrument was made in the first half of the eighteenth century, and is bound clavichord of four and one- half oetaves. fiftyeight tones and forty strings. There is also an instrument from the second half of the last cen tury which possesses five and one fourth oetaves. The last two are sup piled with strings tipped with brass. and their immediate followers were the hammer pianos of 1760, used at the time by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and even by Mendelssohn. Bartholdy, Chopin. and Franz Liszt during their youth.

'Spectacied' Animals.

Birds are furnished with peculiar membrane, which in state of repose lies in the inner angle of the eye, but is movable by two distinct muscles, which draw it over the cornea. It. is, to a certain extent. transparent, for. ae- cording to Cuvier, birds can look through it, as the eagle does when looking at the sun. This membrane forms pair of spectaeles, or. at least, answers the same purpose. This mem brane is called the third eyelid One Of the most comical and grotesque an- imals is the 'spectacled bear" Ursus ornatus). which derives it's chief at traction from the light-colored rings around its eyes. These-the greater part of the face being. like the body, black-have exactly the appearance of a pair of common goggles. through which the beast seems to look with an air of mingled wisdom and imbeeility.
 The speetaeled bear is only found in the mountainous regions of Chih. South America.
