COINS QUEER HISTORY.
For Thirty-two Years One Quarter
Circulated Between Two Men.

There is a proprietor of popular
cafe in downtown cross street who
guards as his chiefest treasure a
worn and battered coin which was
struck from the mint in 1869. The
coin is only 25-cent piece, but it is
safe to say that s25 could not buy it,
and the reason why is this:
When the owner of the coin opened
his cafe, shortly after the civil war,
he chose good location, and this
fact, coupled with his own vigorous
personality brought him flourish
ing trade. His business grew so
rapidly that another cafe was opened
by a rival directly across the street
The newcomer announced that he was
| after part of the trade in the neigh
borhood, and that, what was more, he
was going to get it. His attitude
was distinctly defiant. and the GUS
| toners of the established cafe wagged
their heads solemnly and said that
trouble was brewing.
On the day that the new cafe was
opened a crowd of idlers filled the
place and waited for something to hap
pen. They were not disappointed, for
in the middle Of the morning in stroll
ed the restauranteur from across the
street, and, throwing shining quar-
| ter on the bar, he asked his rival to
| have something to drink. So the
men drank, while the crowd gaped
and wondered who would strike the
| first blow. But no blows were struck
On the contrary, during the afternoon
the owner of the new cafe took the
same coin which his rival had used
in the morning, and, walking across
| the street, treated in turn.
The operation was repeated the next
day and every day for thirty years
Meantime the piece of money grew
worn and old, and the two men grew
worn and old too At last the pro.
prietor of the newer cafe died and the
other man was the chief mourner at
his funeral, and when it was all over
he put the battered quarter in safe
place and vowed never to part with it
this side of the line separating him
from one who had been both his rival
and his friend.-New York Mail and

OLD APoTHEcARY ART.
Curious Customs of Healers in Ancient
Times,

In the old days the Magi ordained
that "the Pyrethrum parthenium (the
fever-few) should be gathered with
the left hand" says the Humanitarian,
that the fevered patients name must
be spoken forth, and that the herbalist
must not lock behind him"
Later we hear that "gout was
treated with henbanes only when the
moon was in Aquarius or Pisces-i. e..

must be dug up with the thumb and
third fingel of the left hand, when one
must say: L declare, declare, holy
wort to thee! l invite thee tomorrow
to the house of Fileas to stop the
rheum of the feet of NJ or N. and say,
l invite thee, the great name, Jehovah,
SABBATH the God. who steadied the
earth and staid the sea, the filler of
flowing rivers, who dried up Lots
wife and made her a pillar of salt,
take the breath of thy mother earth
and her power and dry the rheum of
the feet and hands of NJ or NJ"
Henry VIII, who studied medicine
and took great interest in inventing
new mixtures and remedies, devised
many quaint 'cramp" rings to be worn
for the cure of rheumatism and curl.

FOOD OF FISHES.
Things That Appeal to the Tastes of
Denizens of the Water.

| There are many thousands of
species of fishes, and naturally there
is a great diversity in their food.
Nevertheless, it is possible to divide
| it into seven distinct classes. Now,
all animal life rests on a foundation of
vegetables. Plants store up the vital
forces in the air and the sunshine,
and pass them on to the great army of
vegetarians, who in their turn yield
them up to the animals which live on
flesh. One Or two additional steps
may som etimes be interposed, but
the result is the same. A caterpillar
eats a cabbage, an ichneumon fly quar-
tiers her brood on the caterpillar, an
nsect-eating bird snaps up the fly
and bird of prey pounces upon the
fly catcher and finishes the story. The
inevitable order is plant, vegetarian,
| flesh eater.
The vast ma jority of fishes feed on
fishes or other animals found in the
sea. Probably, however, the vege-
generally supposed. For instance,
all the textbooks declare that the
gray mullet feeds on living mater
obtained by straining sand or mud in
its mouth. which doubtless is true,
but they go on to explain that, owing
to the peculiar construction of its
throat, larger bodies are prevented
from passing into the stomach, which
is not true. No amount Of letter
press will persuade Lands End
fisherman that a gray mullet cannot
or does not eat seaweed; he is con
WINGED from lifelong observation of
it's habits that it does, and the fact
that the fish's stomach is often found
full of seaweed proves that the fisher
man is right. Fishes which un.
doubleday catch and swallow living
prey are wont on occasion to treat
| themselves to dish of vegetables. l.
have just assisted at the post-mortem
examination of a Dream which con-
tanned, in addition to a crab, large
helpings of two kinds of seaweed, in
different stages of digestion.
But. doubtless, it is fact that
fishes live for the most part on an
animal diet, and it is obvious that
this must consist largely of some
other class than their own. If fishes
ate fishes only the race would soon
become extinct. Fortunately, the
sea is full of life, and for those which
cannot or will not eat seaweed there
are worms innumerable, jelly fishes,
star fishes and sea urchins, the great
host living in shells, from the oyster
to the periwinkle and the limpet,
crabs an all their kindred, and,
lastly other fishes. The appetite
must be capricious, indeed, which can
not find something to tempt it among
all this vast array.-Longman's Mag
azine.

A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.
Aeronauts in the Heart OF Thunder
cloud Escape Unhurt.

To be in the very heart of thun-
dercloud and escape unframed is an
unusual If not unique experience.
That is what happened to the Rev.
John NJ. Bacon and some companions
in one of his balloon ascensions from
Newbury, England.
Mr. Bacon, in telling of his expert
ence, says: I'm scarcely more than
twenty minutes from the start sud-
den and surprising change took place
in our circumstances. Our environ.
ment, which had appeared absolutely
calm and clear, began changing with
the rapidity of a transformation scene.
Below us the few hundred feet which
separated us from earth began filling
in with blue haze quite transparent,
but growing palpably filmier, while
ahead, as also right and left, the hor-
lion at the level of our eye and higher
opposed dense fog barrier of an
ashen hue. Overhead of course the
sky view was entirely hidden by the
huge silken globe, At this time we
were being swept along on our course,
which remained sensibly unaltered in
direction, at speed which we subse-
quently were able to fix at approx.
mately forty miles an hour.
ITO ourselves the full significance
Of these circumstances was not i'm.
mediately apparent, but the onlookers
at our point of departure-the town
gas works, now some five miles in
our wake-clearly detected the ap-
proach of a heavy thunder pack and,
as they reasonably asserted, coming
against the wind. 1t lowered above
the balloon now seen projected plain
ly against it's face. 1t came on
rapidly and assumed formidable pro-
portions. The balloon was flying due
west at high speed, and at apparently
no great distance overhead the thun-
dercloud was progressing at mod
crate velocity not accurately deter
mined, but due east or directly OPP
posed TO the surface current.
"And now with whistle binding
sheet of hail attacked the aeronauts,
singing their faces SO sharply as to
give the idea that the stones were
falling from great height, and i'm
mediately afterward from all sides
and close around flashes of lightning
shot out with remarkable frequency
and vividness. We were, in fact,
fairly embosomed in the thundercloud.
Other and near observers narrowly
watched the phases of phenomena
now in progress. These were the
countrymen who became interested
spectators and who presently came to
our assistance. They seemed to have
imagined that the balloon must be in
fallibly struck, inasmuch as it appear
ed to them completely encircled with
lightning. 1t was, indeed, the worst
storm the countryside had known for
many years. At Devices, only a few
miles ahead, it lasted for five hours
continuously. A little way on our
right house was struck and burned
to the ground, and on our left a couple
