Like most garments. everything in
life has a right and wrong side. You
can take any joy and by turning it
around find troubles on the other side,
or you may take the greatest trouble
and by turning it around find joys on
the other side. The gloomiest noun
tain never cast a shadow on both sides
at once.-Reformed Church Messenger.

The Survival of the Ffffesf,

What the scientists term the sur
.riyal of the fittest is one of the COM
nIonest laws of God. 1t operates every
where, and we are all subject to it.
Jesus often spoke hard things just TO
test His followers. He sought TO create
character, and not appearances. One
reality with Him had more force than
a thousand semblances.-Presbyterian
Journal

to have. The hair stops fall

COLOR OF. GOLD COINS
Warm, Deep Tlnge of Yellow In Present
Day Coins.

Some time ago a Frenchman placed
French mintage of the beginning, mid
die and end of the last century He
was much surprised to see that they
differed in color. He set about finding
out the reason for this difference, and
the results of his Investigations have
been published in La Nature. There is
a paleness about the yellow of the ten
and twenty franc pieces which bear
the efigies of Napoleon l. and Louis
XVIII. that is not observed in the gold
of later mintage. One admirer of
these coins speaks of their color rs a
beautiful paleness'' and expresses re-
greet that it is lacking in later coins.
The explanation of it is very simple,
says an exchange. The alloy that en-
tered into the French gold coins or
those days contained as much silver
as Upper, and Ii was the silver that
gave the coins their interesting pale
ness. The coins of the era of Napo-
leon III. were more golden in hue. The
| silver had been taken out of the alloy.
The gold coins of today have a still
warmer and deeper tinge of yellow
This is because the Paris mint, as wei
as that in London, melts the gold Pint
copper alloy in Theoretically scales
boxes, which prevents the copper from
being somewhat bleached, as it Away
Is when it Is attached by hot air; S

WOMAN HUNTS ALLIGAToRs.

Mrs. Neuberger Makes Havoc with Big
Reptiles at Night.
Mrs. Samuel Neuburger of New York
is the most daring and successful ALI
gator hunter of the season. She is
staying at the Tampa Bay hotel with
her husband, who shares with her the
pleasures of the chase. Mrs. Neu-
burger is a tall, handsome woman OF
very striking appearance, evidently we'll
supplied with strength, courage and
determination. She hunts the dread
full alligator in the most sportsmanl1ke
manner, that is at night. This is the
only way to catch the reptiles in the
water. The other way is to proWI
around until you find them unawares,
on the bank of a river or swamp, a
rather tiresome proceeding. At night
Mrs. Neuburger goes gu In a light ce-
dar canoe. She paddles along noise
lessly and every now and then flashes
a dark lantern. Occasionally this re-
yeals an alligator who loves to float
on the surface Of the water at night,
and is hypnotized by the light. Mrs.
Neuburger then shoots the reptile and
harpoons his body and takes him in
tow. All this is very dangerous work
and requires great nerve, skill and pre-
cision. 1t is, of course, very hard to
shoot accurately by the light of a
lantern. A big alligator is quite cap
able of smashing a canoe to fragments
with a blow of his terrible tail, and
then swallowing a couple of human
beings. Recently Mrs. Neuburger
shot at a large alligator while out in
her canoe. The shot was a fairly good
one but it struck a thick part of the
animals skin, and after tearing a hole
passed on without doing much harm,
but greatly %infuriating the creature.
He Immediately made for the boat and
started to climb in. AS he came par
TALLY out of the water Mrs. Neuburger
realized for the first time his mon
strous size. She was sitting in the bow
Of the boat, and as the monster pu,
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-05-23

There has been some lively smashing
of ocean records lately, but the per-
Torrance of H. M. S.. Viper represents
an epoch in the history of marine
cheering. That boat, at one fell
swoop, knocked five or six knot from
the best record, when she attained a
speed of forty-three miles an hour
The Viper is 210 feet long, twenty
one feet wide and twelve feet nine
inches deep, and she has the usual tor
pedo and gun armament for vessels OF
her class. She carries four screw shafts
in all, and on each of these there are
two propellers. She is therefore drlV-
en- through the water by eight propel-
lers. The Turbinia had nine propel-
lers, a larger number of these than or
dinarily are required to make use OF
the high power developed by these
engines.
Down below the Viper carries two
distinct sets of engines on each side,
directly coupled to the propeller shafts.
