When General Grant was visiting
China. Chester Holcombe, for many
years secretary Of the American lega-
ton at Picking. secured for him a priyi-
lege never before that time accorded to
a foreigner, the privilege Of admission
into the sacred precincts of the Temple
of Heaven in Picking.
Now, II Is contrary TO the settled be-
lief of the Chinese to admit member
of the female sex, old or young, even to
the temple ground, under any eircum-
stances. 1t is said that should Chi
nese guard venture even TO carry a
baby girl in his arms within the forbid
den lines lie would probably be punish
ed with death. Not knowing of these
restrictions, Il number of ladies in Gen
eral Grants party yentnred TO follow
him when he visited the sacred edlfice.
Realizing the seriousness Of this &C
tion, Mr.. Holcombe afterward apollo
gIzed to the empcror's representative
for the conduct OF his countrywomen
aud was Informed that the intrusion
would be overlooked but must be kept
as secret as possible, for should the
popuace learn of it an antiforeign out
break would be likely to follow. They
would not forgive such n pollution of
their most sacred buildlng.-Leslie's

lie was called. He didn't come down
stairs till in the afternoon. The in
junction TO the clerk was repeated ev-
cry day, and every day the mysterious
guest stald in his room till late in the
afternoon. when he had been at the
place week and was about TO leave,
the clerk said TO him:
81 beg your pardon, sir; it's none OF
my business, but why have you left or
ders to be called at 6 o'clock every
morning and never got out of bed till
several hours laterT
"Wen," he replied, "lll tell you.
Back in the city I've got a job that
compels me to get up every morning,

When Joe Chamberlain entered the
house of commons, he was anxious to
try his oratorical powers. certain
leading politician, who was plotting a
bin through the house, was approached
by one of Mr.. ChamberIaln's friends,
who said:
Chamberlain would like to speak on
the bill. Can you give him a CHANGER
"Well, you know, | think it would
not do. Hes new member, and no.
body knows what the dickens he might
say"
Time went on. Chamberlain gained
ground-became power in parlia-
ment. The leading politician, ON the
contrary, had made a series of blunders
which had imperiled his position. An
election was imminent Forgetting his
previous record he thought that If he
could get Mr.. Chamberlain to speak for
him he would strengthen his position.
He, therefore, applied to the right hon.
orable gentleman.
The latter calmly surveyed him
through his eyeglass and said:

On the desk of the secretary of one
Of the oldest copper manufacturing
firms In this city is a steel die which
has served as a paperweight for 80
years, and the coins struck off by II arc
now, for the most part, IN the hands of
collectors. This die was used for strik-
ing copper tokens which symboized
the contest between President Andrew
Jackson and the old United States bank
of Philadelphia In 1882. The engraving
ON the die represents President Jack
son, sword in hand and apparently
standing In a money chest. Around the
central figure is stamped Jackson's ex.
preston, Il take the responsibility"
which arose out of his controversies
with the hank.
When this die was made, the prede-
cessors of the present company not
only manufactured copper wire, but
also made a special feature of copper
coins, chiefly for South American couu-
tries and for private business firms
which made a practice of Issuing their
own copper coins to be redeemed by
them afterward. During the civil war
and just preceding 1t many private cor
porations issued tokens which clrcu-
lated as pennies, and some of them are
