coin. Five for 4 Cent.

The smallest coin now current in Eu-
rome, and at one time having the least
value, is the Greek lepton. The lepton
is, according to the decimal monetary
system. current in all countries belong
ing to the Latin union. Some idea of
this valueless little disc may be gath
cred from the fact that the lepton is the
one-hundredth part of a drachma. The
Greek drachma usually passes for the
same value that franc piece does, that
is, it is about equal to about 20 cents of
our money.-Boston Globe.

Roberts Is Silent.

London, June 5.-London enjoyed Whit
sun Monday bank holiday undisturbed by
the descriptions of engagements between
the British and Beers in South Africa, and
the public here is full of confidence in
Lord Roberts entering Pretoria before

DRY of the day is that Roberts is moving

neighborhood of Pretoria.

Kruger Is Out of Harms Wav,

Lorenzo Marquaz, June 4.-President
Kruger yesterday was still at Machado-
dorp (about half way betewen Pretoria
and the Portuguese frontier on the rail
road between the Transvaal capital and
Delagoa bay). Boer commands, totalHno
about 10000 men, held Saturday all the
positions and hills around Pretoria. An
other large command was at Bronkhurst
spruit (about 40 miles from Pretoria)
on the railroad leading to Delagoa bay.
Telegraph communication with the Trans
yaal is closed to the public. Feverish
excitement prevails here owing to the
almost total absence of news from either
side. The object of the trip here of
freichee Eloff, President Krugers SON
in-law, and DR.. Heyman, the presidents
physician, appears to have been to place
large amount of gold in safety.

1t is his blood upon 1t. 1t slipped from
your arms in the struggle with him.

He held his ensanguined token an in
slant beside the one on the woman's
bare, exquisitely nodded arm. Then
he laid her slowly down upon the car
pet and drew back. She never stirred.
II think she is dead" he said quietly.
1t was true. Some vessel had burst
inwardly in that wild struggle against
the shock of knowing that the man she
had learned to love was the son of her
unhappy victim. She had been dying
while he spoke to her.

AN ELEPHANTS TOOTHACHE,
Often the Great Pieces of Ivory Will
Thrill with Pain.

OIteH the Great P1eceS OF Ivory VIII
Thrill with Pain.
II told you the other day about the
Sultan Of Zanzibar's clocks" said
Robert Crawford yesterday, "but there
was another thing that heard of while
in that country which is not without
interest. The sultan used to take me
round to show me the place and of
what It's trade consisted. 1t Is the
greatest clove-ralsing country In the
world, and as such conveys comfort
and courage to out-between-the-ac
theater-goers the world over. Other
spices and cocoanut rope are also I'M
portant features of their export trade.
But In addition to the sale of that
which they raise within their own bor-
ders, their revenues are largely in
creased by the trade in ivory. Zanzi-
bar is the greatest market for South
African ivory, which is brought there
in large quantities from the interior.
The ivory Is placed in large ware
houses from which it is either sold at
once or else held therein for a better
market. The man in charge of these
warehouses was very interesting
character-an expert In ivory. He told
me many curious things about it, and
among others propounded the following
theory as an explanation of why ele-
plants go mad and occasionally run
amuck. In the warehouse were pair
of magnificent tusks, measuring fully
fourteen feet from tip to tip, which in
life must have been carried by veri-
table Goliah among elephants. The
expert, in showing me those tusks,
pointed out the fact that while one was
complete and f1awless, the other was
broken off at the point and showed
deep scratches and abrasions through
out its length. Now said he, If you
will look neaChkhe base you will find
hole made by decay that had struck in
to the nerves and given that elephant
toothache, and think what tooth
ache of toothaches a fourteen-foot
tooth must have held. In his effort to
relieve this pain the elephant rubbed
his tusk against rocks and trees and
drove 1t into the earth, which multi
ated it in the manner you see here. I
have frequently come across places
where an elephant has ripped up great
spaces in the forest and torn down the
trees, and l am positive that toothache
was the cause of this frenzy. An ele-
plant In circus going suddenly mad
and killing his keeper is not an uncom-
mon thing, but I'll wager that in nine
cases out of ten If they would properly
investigate the matter they would find
that the brute's sudden frenzy sprung
from so ordinary cause as common,
everyday toothache.'"

Japanese Designs.

The system by which the Japanese
are taught the art of designing is large
ly responsible for the peculiar charac
ter of their work. The japanese stu.
dent who Is taught drawing Is given a
small book, in which the designs are
grasped the salient features of each.
He is then sent out into the open coun-
try, and told to observe the works of
Nature spread out before him In all
their luxuriance. Finding some suita-
BILE object for his attention, he proceeds
to reproduce the same, introducing,
perhaps, some imaginative details. It
Is here that the system Of squares
comes in. Those elegant stems and
feathery petals, which are apparently
thrown together without restraint. are
really the particular feature of the
mass of vegetation he has selected for
individual study. His long course of
study in this line has given him the
faculty of following a single vine
through tangled underbrush, and ig.
noring all the rest of the growth. The
tortuous course of this one vine, when
brought out by his brush, appears. to
the Western art critic, as crude and
without merit, whereas, in reality, 1t is
full of interest. The greatest merit of
their work lies In the ability to touch
the characteristics of natural objects.
