Coins Have
Vanished


There is something curious about
the American silver dollar and half
dollar OF the coinage Of 1904" said a
~well~known numismatist Of New York.
I'm that year something like 10000 of
the dollars were coined, but It is a
singular fact, as is now known, that
not n Of them was known to be IN
circulation. Yet the most precious OF
all American coins are two 1904 dol
lars, which are in well-known collec-
Hons. They are valued at $1,000 each.
IT has been determined to the salts
faction Of every numismatist that these
two dollars were not coined until 1928,
although they were struck from the
original 1904 die. They we're secretly
made-although such a procedure is a
penal offense-for some one high in in
huence and authority, who desired
them for certain coin collections. 1t
has never been positively ascertained
how the surreptitious work was accom-
plished, but there is no doubt that it
was done.
why the dollar of 1904 was never
seen in circulation after leaving the
mint is n Of the ~unsolved government
mysteries.

Japanese
Wives

A married woman's lot in Japan is
anything but a pleasant one, at least
according to occidental ideas. Japan
csc women inherit no fortunes, and in
families including no son one is adopt
ed by the parents of the heir. The
only dowry a girl is given for her mar
riage is her dresses, a little writing
desk, a work basket. a box of cosmetics
and other toilet articles, two little
dining tables and a few lacquer plates,
says an exchange.
On his marriage a man remains as
free as ever before. He has no fresh
duties to consider. He can do exactly
what he chooses. If he likes he can
spend every evening out Of the house.
The women among the poorer classes
are still more TO be pitied. A work
man marries a woman when it suits
him, and changes her with as little
fuss as we change our clothes. These
exchanges, or what we call divorces,
take place less frequently in the bet
ter classes.
A man can obtain divorce for the
following reasons Disobedience, jeal-

ousy, incurable illness, talkativeness,
etc. The wretched woman, divorced,
must return to her parents and leave
her children with her husband.
On entering her husbands home the
Japanese bride does not become mis-
tress Of the household. She becomes
the servant Of her spouse's parents,
and her husband cannot-does not
shield her from the nagging tongue Of
a mother-in-law. When the parents
are dead the wife directs the house
hold, but she is still only her hus-
bands principal servant. In public
she hardly ever appears in his com
pany; at home she does not even sit
at the same table with him. He takes
his meals alone, while she waits. His
wishes are commands which she obeys
willingly and amiably. She helps him
to dress, she washes and mends his
clothes; she is even proud to do that
for him which would otherwise be left
to servants. The empress herself is
not exempt from such service, but
waits in various ways on her emperor
husband.

Some Remarkable Records That Have Been

While wireless t~eleeraphv has MANY

magic OF Signor Marconi is making

That is in the matter Of carrier or
homing pigeons. These very interest

ton as a result OF the discovery and
will shortly be out OF business en-
tirely.

The trip was made at an age when
the homing pigeons are not supposed

markable on this account.
Number X, 57261," a member Of the
same distinguished family which
claims the other two, is noted as a ra-
Ger, and has a record of so miles an
hour for a distance Of over 500 miles.
All these birds were born and bred
in Medford and are numbered among
the most valuable pigeons in the coun-
try. They are direct descendants of
famous Belgian stock and have a pedi-
gree as long as any Of the descendants
Of the Mayflower.
Mr.. Twombly. who is well known az
an authority on homers. said that the
breeding of the birds for the market
would be very seriously affected by tie
introduction of wireless telegraphg,
for by It the very thing that the pigeon
was intended to accomplish would be
brought about much better, and xith
less expense and more surety.

line without swerving and their knowi-
edge of direction and natural aptitude
for picking out the right quarter Of
the compass, they can fly in from q
very long distance.

are coming from different sections of
the country that a number of big pig
con lofts have been put on the market.
At the Brooklyn navy yard and at
Norfolk where the government former

bred homers. a bargain sale has been
held and the birds disposed of to the
highest bidders, There are no lofts in
Charlestown yard, but the opinion over
there is that as far as the navy is con-

The lofts at the Brooklyn yard have
long been the pride Of certain officers
in the navy, and are well known and
much talked of in every locality where
homers are kept. The sale of these
birds vas a great blow to the fanciers
In the navy, and although they pro-
tested, nothing could be lone to save
them.
Some of the birds were bought by
the naval officers who were fond Of
them and others were taken in various
parts Of the country.
From the standpoint of a fancier and
breeder this new condition of affairs is
distressing, inasmuch as they have
lost n OF the chief markets for their
birds. The government was a very
good customer and took many hun
dreds Of the birds each year paying
good prices for them, generally what
ever they we're asked, Now that mar
ket is closed.
1t is a w~ell-known fact that only n
small proportion Of those who own
homing pigeons fly them for CONNER

solely for their abilities to get home
from a great distance. The bird is a
pet or rather a valuable animal of the

many concerns which own them and

H IVORY
The supply for England Decreases
Steadily and Rapidly

Steadily and Rapidly
Our ivory supply, according to the
annual reports Just issued, continues
to show signs of a steady decrease, the
total quantity imported last year being
only 2S2 tons, against 272 tons in the
preceding year, and an average annual
importation of 2321h tons since 1889, so
that, naturally there has been a good
demand at higher prices.
In the face of the continued small
receipts, prospects are described as be-
ing decidedly faYorable-that is, from
the sellers point of view. East In
dian cut points suitable for billiard
balls realized, as usual, the highest
price, selling up to eS5 los per hun
dredweight, against e75 last year. The
west coast of Africa was the only CEN
ter that shipped us more ivory last
year than during 1900, but stin the
1OS% tons received thence are below
the average quantity-ll2 tons
shipped during the last four years.
The quantity received from the Cape
was extremely small, only three-quar-
ters of a ton, while last year no ivory
came to us through that port. One
may say that Cape ivory is a thing Of
the past, for even before the present
war the country had been so thor
oughly explored that the big game for
merly TO be met with in those districts
had either been eXterminated or gone
further north. and their ivory, II still
obtaiuable, must now be shipped
through the more northern ports. This
makes one wonder where we shall
draw Our supply Of ivory from when
Africa is denuded of elephants, which
at the present rate Of progress must
soon occur. Would 1t be feasible to
reserve an area large enough to allow
the wild elephants to wander about and
breed, undisturbed by the hunter, until
the time arrives to obtain their tusks7

Italian Gamblers Risk Their Money on
the Lisp OF a Princess.
A spirit of gambling has broken out
in the court of Italy and the courtiers
are laying their wagers recklessly
upon the question as to whether the
young Princess Yolanda will speak
first in English or in Italian. The
princess now has reached the age Of
seven months and already has made
sounds which are declared to be
papa" and mamma" The English
nurse declares that she taught the
child to say them, but the Italian
nurse Indignantly denies this, declar-
ing that to her is due the credit; for
if the princess had learned from the
words in English, whereas she says
them in Italian. the poor woman not
knowing that papa" and mamma"
are the same in all languages.
So as these words are universal ii
has been decided that they do not de-
eide the wagers as to which will be
the first language to be spoken by lit
tie Yolanda. The betting Is even, for
though the English nurse has the child
almost entirely under her care, the
language which she hears spoken
about her all the time is Italian.
Large sums have been wagered and the
decision is awaited with much inter
est. If Y0landa wants to make her
self popular she had better list her
hrst words in Italian. There will be a
mighty disgust throughout Italy should
I she decide In favor OF English.
