RARE STAMPS AND COINS.
The Jefferson Half-DolIar of 1904 II
the scarcest Piece of Amer
lean Money.

According to experienced coin col
lectors and numismatiSts the rarest
of American silver coins is the 1904 dol
lar and half dollar, issued during JEFF
Persons administration. Several of
these coins turned up recently. The
rarest of American gold coins are the
So, SIS, $40 and $50 gold pieces of 1922,
while in postage stamps the rarest are
the peculiar 1, 2 and five-cent stamps
of 1862. These stamps are perfectly
round and fit into little circular tin
shield which, by arrangement with
the government, were made at the
time by a manufacturer of cooking
flavors of the name of Bennett, whose
advertisement appears on the back.
Protecting the face of the stamp from
moisture or from being soiled or torn
is circular disk of mica, that fits I'M
der the rim of the metal shield, hold
ing the stamp firmly in place.
These stamps were issued for the
soldiers of the union army, and were
accepted in payment for small pur-
chases at their full face value and as
readily as coins. Protected by the
transparent mica disk, through which
one could see the denomination OF the
stamp on one side and by tin shield
on the other, they could be carried by
the soldiers in any pocket through
rain and sun without injury to the
stamp inclosed within. This curious
stamp case was invented by Burnett.
When anyone wanted to use the stamp
on a letter he tore off the mica cover
ing and took out the stamp, throwing
away the tin shield, which was Of no
value in itself. These stamps are now
very rare.

file annually with the secretary of state
an affidavit to the effect that it is not a
party to any pool combination or trust.
Under this law the secretary of state,
in September. 1898, sent out 20, let
tiers asking for affidavits. Twelve hun
dred Cook county corporations did not
answer the letter. The law provided a
penalty of $50 day for delay in filing
the affidavits after specified time.
In making the decision Judge Hanecy
held thar the law of 1891 had been
amended by the law Of 1897, which pro-
vided that corporations having for their
object the maintenance or increase of
the wages might enter into trusts and
combinations. But the law of 1897, the
court stated, had been declared uncons-
titutional by the United States Supreme
court. Consequently the law of 1891
could not be held constitutional, as ap-
piled to the case in court.

NOVEL TEST OF DEATH.
The Device of a French Physician
Which Seems to Do Away with
ALI Doubt.

Horror of being buried alive is COM
mon to the whole human race, and
from time immemorial experiments
have been in progress with the view of
making such terrible fate impossible,
Some physicians maintain that salts
factory tests can also be made by the
use of Roentgen rays, but il is not
everyone who has the facilities for
making such tests, whereas any
one can make a test on the plan de-
vised by DR.. Icard, physician of Mar
settles, France. The doctor uses tluo-
rescin, the well-known coloring materi-
al, and his experiments have proven
SO successful that they have won for
him the approval of the French Acad-
envy of Sciences. Fluorescin injected
into the human body produces abso-
lutely no effect if the body is dead,
whereas it produces a most surprising
effectif the body is alive. DR.. lcard
uses solution of it which is so strong
that a single gramme is able to color
10000 quarts of water.
If a little of this solution is injected
under the skin of "A living person in two
minutes the skin, and especially the
mucous membranes, will become much
discolored, and the person will present
the appearance Of one suffering from
an acute attack Of jaundice. More
over, the eyes will become of a green
ish color and the pupils will also be-
come invisible. These symptoms will
remain for one or possibly two hours
and then will gradually disappear,
Since fluorescin produces this effect on
living body it naturally follows, ac-
cording to DR., Icard, that any body on
which it produces no effect must be
| dead.

Cottonseed oil, corn oil and linseed

Provisioner was asked this question:
What is the difference in edible
oils? The question suggests the rea-
sons for present experiments. "As a
matter of fact" declares our contem-
porary, petroleum has been success.

competition and utility. Petroleum

THREE MEN DROWNED.
Because One of Them CriminaIIy Rocked
ROaf.

Milwaukee. Wis, June 23-Rocking
the boat by one of the occupants of the
frail craft cost the lives of three men
about II o'clock Sunday morning The
victims were w. F. G. Fable, an attorn-
ey, and Jacob Bayer and Joseph Greel-
ey, book agents. A 12-year-old boy,
Charles Gushel, managed to cling to the
bottom of the overturned boat and was
rescued.
The party of four was organized by
Fable, it is said, with the intention of
spending part of the day in fishing near
the government pier. A boat was rent
ed from livery at Juneau park and the
men rowed north to point off the
waterworks station, where they anchor
ed. They tished for a time and as a
heavy sea came on the boat began to
rock in manner uncomfortable to
some of the occupants.
When remark was made about the
wisdom of seeking the shore, Bayer, &C
cording to the surviving member of the
party, began to rock the boat more vio-
lently. Remonstrances being without
avail, one of the men finally seized Bay
er in Oil endeavor to force him to de-
sist. This made him angry, and while
endeavoring TO resist he managed to tip
the boat half way over. dumping him
self into the water. His companions
fished him out, but instead of showing
his gratitude he repeated the perform
ance, this time succeeding in capsizing
the craft and dumping all four occu-
pants into the water.

to advertise only the best in its columns,
and when he saw Chamberlains Pain
Balm advertised therein for lame back,
he did not hesitate in buying bottle of
it for his wife, who for eight weeks had
suffered with the most terrible pains in
her back and could get no relief He
says: After using the Pain Balm for
a few days my wife said to me- i feel as
though born anew, and before using
the entire contents of the bottle the I'M
bearable pains had entirely vanished
and she could again take up her house

TRIUMPH OF SKILL.
Novel Product of Mechanical Inge-
nuity I'm n London Res
fdence.

A curious piece of mechanical luxury
has been set up in Sir James Blyth's
home in Portland place, London, by
means of which the dining-room can
noiselessly double its size. One saun-
ters down to drink a cup of coffee ESQ
a contemporary describes it), and finds
a~pacious and well-proportioned room
papered in warm crimson and hung
with handsome pictures. There is a
door of communication with the adj
Joining room, on either side Of which
hangs a large picture in heavy gold
frame. The floor is polished, and n
thick carpet comes within a yard OF
the wall all round. The coffee is ex-
cellent, but one doubts its potency
when, on turning round, one is con
fronted by the partitioning wall,
doors, pictures, and all half way
through the floor! Silently it sinks be
low, and no flaw in the polished and
even floor is perceptiblel Only the
crimson walls are twice as long, and
there are bordered carpets. 1t is the
most perfect triumph Of mechanical
skill.

INTELLIGENT ROBINS.
Remarkable Performance of Three
of the Birds to Save One of

trying to teach their little one to fly.
1t attempted to cover too great dis
lance and fell to the ground. My little
boy caught it and / told him to put it
on the roof of our side porch. Then
he and l watched to see what the old
birds would do. They futtered about
the yard for awhile and then flew
off. We waited for them to return,
but they did not, and / had just made
up my mind that they had deserted the
young one when / saw them coming,
accompanied by a third old one. They

and saw that one Of them had piece
of Irvine in its bill. And what do you
suppose they did next? II ] had not
seen it ! never would have believed it..

one at each end, and the little one
caught the middle of it in his bill
Then they flew off the porch, the third

Des Moines. Ia, June go Details of q
double tragedy at jefferson Saturday are

five hundred shots were poured into S. II.
Shipman's residence, after he shot and
killed City Marshal John Swearingen,
and the firing by the mob did not cease
until the house had been riddled by bull
let's and Shipman had ceased to return
their shots. James May, member of
the fire department, volunteered to place
hose in the basement aud drown out
Shipman The latter fired at him in
effectually, but was forced to the upper
floor, where he soon fell, pierced by
many bullets.
Shipman was half-witted but had a
terrible temple. Though over 70 years
of age, when informed that the marshal
had warrant for his arrest because he
threw stones at two small boys who
leased him, he prepared to resist arrest.
DIR. G. H. Grimmell interceded and Ship
man agreed to surrender to Swearingen.
AS the latter approached, however, both
drew weapons and Swearingen was fat
ally shot. Mrs. Shipman then fled to a
neighbours for safety and Shipman bar
ricaded his house to defend himself
against the mob which quickly formed.
