Premium on Victorian Coins.

A peculiar impression has spread
among the public that the coins issued
In 1901 are of special value as being
the last struck with Victoria's efigy.
Jewelers. and coin dealers have en-
couraged this idea and have been sell
ing for the past few days hundreds of
sets of bronze coins, penny, half-pen-
nv and farthing, for sixpence. The
penny brought three pence. the half
penny two-pence and the farthing a
penny.
But the bottom must soon fall out OF
the market, for the people will soon
discover that the mint has already is
sued over 4,o00,O 900 pennies Of 1901,
and IT is stated that probably at least
100000 more will be issued before
new dies are adopted. The gold and
silver coins Of 1901 have not yet been
issued. They viii probably have a
somewhat enhanced value, but collec-
tors should remember that British in
stitutions do not know the meaning OF
the word hurry. No Victorian pen
MES were put in circulation until 1871
and no other Victorian coins till ls4S.-

School for Walters,

Walters in Austria are now learning
their trade just like ordinary mechan-
les. They do not serve as apprentices
to employers, but instead go to a school
in Vienna, where experienced profess
sors teach them how to wait at table.
Their instruction is Embellishments
cal and practical. First the professors
tell them what they should do, then
they show them how to do it, and final
ly they test them in order to see if
they can do it themselves.
This final test Is interesting. -Four
persons, two gentlemen and two ladies,
who are posing as guests for the oc-
casion, enter the schoolroom, which is
arranged as a cafe, and order a light
meal. A waiter approaches and serves
them, while at a little distance the
professors watch his every motion. Ii
he blunders in the smallest detail a
black mark is set against him in their
notebook, and he is obliged to study a
little longer before he can obtain his
diploma.
From the very start this school has
been popular, and 1t has now several
hundred pupils. Some of the old time
walters, who have learned what they
know through experience, are disposed
to sheer at it, but the younger men,
whose ambition in life is to serve
deity and skilfully in the cafes, which
are such a popular institution in Eu-
rope. regard 1t with high favor and
with few exceptions claim that only
those who have obtained diplomas
from it are entitled to be considered
members of their honorable profession.

asking him to procure a photograph Of
