Ample ard Sweet Revenge.

A young Englishman who had been
repeatedly and unnecessarily annoyed
by the ST. Malo custom house officials
made. up his mind to get even with
them. The last time he had crossed
he had brought ferret over with him,
and minute or so before landing he
transferred the creature to a black
bag, which he carried with extreme
care and an evident desire not to at
tract attention. This Immediately
fetched one of the douaniers, and he
swooped down on it with joyful alac-
rity. Our young Englishman pretend
ed not to understand the official, until
the Frenchman made his meaning
clear by unmistakable signs. Then he
slowly and reluctantly unlocked the
bag. The douanier plunged in his
hand, and-but my pen Oet me put it
down to my pen) refuses to adequately

recital of it was balm to my wound

TELLTALE COINAGE.
How the Mnn Identified the King
Although Never Having Seen
Him Before.

Apart from photographs and en-.
cravings, the faces of most rulers
are familiarized to us by their
images on the current coins of their
countries, says the Boston Tran
script. Female vanity is supposed
to have been the cause of preserving
Queen Victoria's girlish image on the
coins and postage stamps of England
until the last years of her reign, but
hers was almost a solitary exception
and the designers of coins generally
aim at producing pictures of the
heads of states on them as they
really are. AT the commencement OF
the present season, King Leopold
was in Dieppe, and when strolling
cording to his custom, into CONVEX
sation with the men working on it.
With one of these, whose accent
showed him to be a Belgian, he
spoke for a considerable time, and
when he had left the man turned to
his companions and said proudly:
"That is my king" HE seems an
old FRIEND" said one of the other
workman, jestingly. "No," said the
other, 81 never saw him BEFORE"
GLOW do you know who he is, then?"
asked the other, who was manifest
ly in doubt as to the truth of the
Belgian's statement; but his doubts
were quickly set at rest when the
man to whom the king had spoken
produced silently from his pocket
and held up for his observation a
Belgian franc bearing on it King
Leopold's counterfeit presentiment.
