"A Sacred Chinese Coin.

One of the coins of the Chinese En-
perOr kanghi is very much sought af-
ter by the Chinese, who use it in max
ing rings for the finger. 1t is slightly
different from the other cash issued I'M
der the same emperor in the form Of

transcript in Chinese characters of the
Sanskrit word Arhan, venerable" the
name applied to the eighteen attend
ants of Buddha, who are frequently
seen ranged along the two sides of the
principal halls in Buddhist temples.
The tradition is that while the En-.
peror was intimately associated with
European missionaries he became im-
bued with a feeling of contempt for
Buddhism and illustrated this phase
of his faith by having a set of eighteen
brass Lo-han images melted down and
cast into cash. This brass is said to
contain a considerable portion of gold;
hence the demand for the cash.

Fair had one fad that developed into
a passion and ultimately led to his
tragic end. He was an automobile
fiend. He owned the first automobile
on the Pacific Coast and was an en-
thusiastic speed breaker. When he and
his wife left San Francisco last May
for Paris it was for the purpose of buy
ing an automobile faster than the one
he owned, although the latter was ca
pable Of making 70 miles an hour. In
Paris he bought another machine and
it was while riding in this that death
came to him and his wife. According
to the story of the tragedy the automo-
bile was travelling at the rate of g.
miles an hour when one of the tires
burst. The machine turned a somer-
sault and Mr. and Mrs. Fair were
buried beneath it, their heads being
crushed in. The chauffeur accompany
ing them was dangerously injured.
A singular coincidence of the acct
dent is that several ) ears ago John w.
Mackay, Jr., son of Senator Fairs old
partner, John W. Mackay, who died re-
Gently, was also killed near Paris by
fall from horse. Senator Fairs other
partners in the Comstock lode were
Flood and O'Brien. They were known
as the "big four"

WHERE QUEEN VICTORIA DIED.
Osborne House, Which Edward Pre-
scented to the British Nation.

Osborne House, Which Edward Pre-
scented to the British Nation.
Famous Osborne House, one of the
favorite residences of the late Queen
Victoria, which was presented to the
British nation by King Edward VII. on
Coronation day, is one of the most mag
niicent Of the several homes of Eng
Iish royalty. The gift is peculiarly graf
flying to the British public, as Osborne
is sacred to the memory of the late
Queen and will ever be inseparably con-
nected with incidents in the life of that
beloved sovereign.
AS it will be necessary for King Ed
ward to spend a considerable part Of
the year in London and in it's neighbor-
hood, at Windsor, and having also
@ROng home ties in the county of Nor
folk, he felt that he would be unable to
make adequate use Of Osborne House
as royal residence, and he therefore,
offered the property as a gift to the ma
ton. 1t is the Kings desire that the
house be devoted to national purposes
and converted into a conyalescent
home for officers of the army and navy
whose health has been impaired in the
service Of their country.
1t was at Osborne House, Isle of
Wight, that Queen Victoria died, Jan
uary %, 1901. 1t is situated in Whip
bingham Parish, not far from COwes.
The house can only be reached by cross
ing the ferry to East Cowes and ascend
ing a steep hill, the view from every
part Of which is a delightful one-wood-
land, valley, town, river and sea being
visible. Queen Victoria used to spend
most of the winter months at Osborne,
which was her fayorite residence next
to Balmoral, Scotland. She liked Wind
sor Castle little, and Buckingham Pal
ace, London, least of all. While the
Queen was at Osborne the grounds
were jealousy guarded, but when she
was absent visitors were allowed to
inspect them. The gardens, with their
terraces, their myrtle and rose trees,
and their many rare exotics, are among
the finest in the south of England. The
climate of the Isle of Wight is consid-
erably warmer than that of the main
land, and every visitor to that Garden
Of England as it is called, will have
remarked the luxuriant manner in
which flowers grow there.

A story is told of a wise mother, who,
when her small son announced his
intention Of running away from home
because something had vexed him, met
the announcement with calm acquleS-
cence. She packed a small bundle for
him to take away suggested the next
town as a good place to stay for the
night, and added ''Of course, Harry,
If you really want to go, you may;
but you don't know how much l shall
miss you" The youngster picked up
his bundle, went slowly down the path
to the front gate, opened it, then turned
and ran for the house, where he flung
his arms about his mothers neck and
burst into tears The treatment was
not needed again. If that mother had
met the boys plan with tears, re-
prOaches, anger, or punishment, the
chances are that she would either have
had a spoiled child on her hands, or
awakened some morning few years
later to find that her sou had really
run away. The sense of freedom is
most valuable asset in dealing with
Young America. The child who is
continually thwarted in unimportant
things gets in the habit Of fighting for
what he thinks are his rights, whether
he is justified in the assumption or not.
There are some children who are
brought up on the principle that it Is
equally heinous to tell a lie, to come
into the house without wiping ones
feet, and to fail in a lesson. Such chill
dren are apt to develop a somewhat
crooked moral perspective, which does
not not always get Strengthened out
in years to come. The boy who fig
ures In the above story had read Of
runaways, and formed a not very def
mite idea of the freedom and peace
which such a course entails. He had
not thought about the other aspect Of
it at all. His mother brought him face
to face with the realities and let him
choose for himself, at the same time in
dicating clearly what she thought it
was best for him to do. 1t did not take
long for him to discover that she was
wiser than he.

A report is made by the American
consul at Liverpool upon municipal So
cialism in Great Britain. Among the
enterprises managed by municipalities
are Turkish baths owned by Leaning
ton and Harrogate; a rabbit-warren, by
Torquay; an oyster-fishery, by Colches-
ter; a crematory, by Hull. Doncaster
and Chester own race-courses, and in
Doncaster the town itself manages the
races. st. Helen's supplies sterilized
milk. The report says that nearly
thousand municipalities in Great Brit
ain own water-works; about a hundred
own street railways; many more own
gas works. Speaking generally, the
consul finds that municipal government
in the kingdom is honest, intelligent
and energetic. and, as a rule, political
considerations have little to do with
the engagement or retention of civic
employees.

an hours drive the stranger asked
Frank to so to a saloon and have a
drink. The boy declined. saying he

he chewed tobacco and upon receiving
reply in the negative offered the boy
a cigar, which he also declined That
is the first chapter. The old man who
rode with the delivery boy was that
eccentric millionaire, Mr.. Higginson, of
San Francisco. Higginson. wherever
he goes, is looking for boys like Frank

millionaire went to Frank and nrosant-

the boy will use to start in business for
himself. The moral Is plain. II pavs
