The New British COINAGE.

1t will be day of mixed feelings
for many Englishmen when they cease
to use coins inscribed with Queen Vic
torias head. A great many British
subjects now living have never used
any other inscription. except when
they have found few battered shil-
lings Of William w. and George ~. in
their purses. Fortunately the transi-
ton from the coins OF Victoria to
those of Edward VII will be very
gradual But the Mint will not "caIl
in" the coins OF the Queen except In
the most gradual manner, and the
coinage of Edward VII. issued at first
will only supply the normal gaps of
the passing year. 1t was only recent
ly that the coins of George w. and
William w. were finally called in, and
most of us will probably continue to
use some OF the coins of Victoria 10

ELASTIC BANDS DUST STRING.
Cheaper Than String In Some Uses
Tons of Them Sold.

NO said a rubber goods dealer,
elastic bands, I'VE don't exactly sell
them by the ton, but there are tons
of them sold in the course of the year.
Originally designed more especially
for a convenient binder for bundles of
documents and that sort of thing, they
are now used for a great variety of
purposes in place of string. They are
used to put around packages and
bundles in stores, more especially
small packages. as in drug stores.
They are used by many manufac-
turers to nut around things CT various
kinds. which otherwise would be tied
up. II many of these uses, aside
from their convenience and their at
Effectiveness as a part of the parcel,
they are cheaper than string, because
the use of them saves so much time.
A rubber band can be wrapped around
a package in much less time than 1t
can be tied up.
Rubber bands in old times used to
be sold by the dozen, now, as you
know, they are sold by the pound. but
you don't have to buy a pound, you
can buy an ounce, or half ounce, for
that matter.
How many bands to a pound? Well,
that depends, of course. on the size
of the bands. The biggest, heaviest
bands used run only twelve bands to
the pound; the smallest tiny little
band called an election ring. from their
use around punches of ballots, number

THE REVENGE OF ANIMALS.
This Unpleasant Sentiment Is Wen
Developed In Some Of Them.


A number of authentic anecdotes
have been collected by lie Tour du
Monde to Illustrate the fact that the
sentiment of revenge is very well de-
veloped in some animals. Everybody
knows that elephants. for example,
have long memories when they are
subjected to treatment that hurts their
feelings. Captain Shippe OF the
French army. discovered this fact to
his sorrow six weeks after he had
given an elephant a sandwich sprink-
led with cayenne pepper. The Cap
tain had almost forgotten the incident
when he next saw the animal and at
tempted to caress him; but the ele-
plant, recognizing the practical Joker.
suddenly absorbed quantity OF dirty
water from a puddle near by and diff
fused II over the officers uniform.
Griffith. the historian, tells story
of two Indian elephants at the siege
of Burtpore. Water was scarce and
in great demand which gave unusual
value to well that had not dried up.
One day just as a small elephant and
his driver were leaving the well, the
animal carrying a pail OF water very
large and strong elephant seized the
pail and drank the water. The smaller
elephant. conscious of his inferior
strength, showed no resentment but
hided his time. One day he saw his
enemy standing broadside by well.
The little fellow suddenly rushed for
ward with all the energy at his COM
mand, butted the big one on the side
and tumbled him over into the well.
An Indian missionary tells Of an in
discreet person whom he saw teasing
an elephant by pricking his trunk with
a pin and then feeding him with let
tuce salad which no elephant has any
use for. The animal was rather slow
in anger and he had not fully decided
to be mad till half hour had elapsed,
when he suddenly seized mans hat
from his head tore it into shreds and
flung the fragments into the face of
his tormentor.
British magazine told a while
ago, of a milkmans dog that was the
terror of all smaller CANNES, as he
was fighter and never missed
chance to mix up in a row. Most of
the dogs in the neighborhood bore
scars as evidence Of his ferocity and
prowess. None of them could match
him in fight, The idea finally oc-
CURED to them, however. that there is
strength in union, and so one night
about a dozen of them went to the
home of the tormentor and thrashed
him within an inch of his life. The
milkman found next morning that his
dog was nearly dead from the wounds
inflicted. When he recovered from
the scrimmage he was a changed dog,
having wholly lost his taste for fight
ing.
Sir Andrew Smith, a zoologist, told
Darwin that one day he saw a tame
baboon in South Africa bespatter With
mud an officer. who, all spick and
span. was on his way to parade. The
officer had frequently leased the ami
NAL. which took this effective means
Of revenge. Parrots also are among
the animals who do not soon forget
persons who tease or maltreat them
They usually find some way to give
some unpleasant moments to those
who are unkind to them.

THE TRIUMPH OF FORGOTTEN
THINGS.

There is a pity in forgotten things.
Banished the heart they can no
longer fill,
Since restless Fancy. spreading swal
low wings,
Must seek new pastures stilll
There is a patience, too. in things for
got;
They wait-they find the portal long
unused
And knocking there, it shall refuse
them not
Nor aught shall be refused
All. yesl though we, unheeding years
on years,
In alien pledges spend the hearts
estate.
They bide some blessed moment Of
quick tears
Some moment without date.

KAISER WILHELm's UNIFORMS.
He Has Two Complete Outfits OF
Everything 10 Wear.

Kaiser Wilhelm, as is well known.
different regiments in his own army
and as many more in the other armies
of Europe. He hold several actual and
honorary commissions in different
fleets, belongs to numerous orders of
military and civil distinction, and to
other organizations which have re-
galias that must be worn on cere-
monial occasions. Hence. when he
visits foreign country, or is travel
ing about his own domains, he never
knows what uniforms and regalia he
may need, and, therefore, must carry
a large quantity of baggage. He has
two complete outfits of everything.
one Of which is usually kept on the i'm
perial yacht Hohenzollern and the
other in baggage or wardrobe car,
built especially for the purpose, and
a part of his private railway train.
The master of the robes, assisted
by several Wallets. has charge of the
emperor's wardrobe, and when the
train is in motion can produce at an
instants notice any uniform or re-
gala in which he may desire to appear
at the next station. If he happens to
be passing through a garrison town
where one Of his favorite regiments
is stationed it pleases them and it
pleases him to greet the officers and
men from the platform of his care in
the same uniform they are wearing.
II he crosses the border of another
country 1t is considered a compliment
for him to dress in the uniform OF
the army or navy Of that country.
Hence 1t is important to have his
wardrobe car with him on all his jour
neys.-Modern Society.

The interesting things about inven-

piled for a patent The very same en-
velope, identical in every detail, had

she found. The last attempt she has
made has been to invent garbage pail
for the kitchen which can be covered
neatly and uncovered by a mechanical
device. The small model which she
bad made was perfect so far as a gar
bage pail could be. But the interest
ing fact has come to light that garbage
pals like the one she considered so
povel had been invented by a man sew
eral years before The bright side of
the difficulty is that some one else has
made the attempt to get both these
articles into general use and has failed.

shown that they wouldn't have been

For locomotive building 1901 was q
record year. Leaving out Of account
the work OF railroad shops, there were
constructed in the United States last
year 1884 locomotives, of which 337
were for export. About 5000, there
fore, were required TO meet the demand
Of American railways for more motive
power and to provide renewals-not an
excessive proportion of the total num-
Der now in use, which is not far from
5000. Should the demands Of ship
