COINS WHICH HAD THEIR DAY.
Ous-Some Which Collectors Are Anxious tO Obtain.

Recent mention of the disappearance of the $2.50 gold piece from circulation and the premium this coin commands as a curio has set many to rummagfng in old pocketbooks and the bottoms of cash boxes and drawers in search of odd or out-of-date coins, says the Portland Ore- gonian. Some have found $2 50 piece, but not many. The 8 piece, once quite common, but always a sort of curiosity, Is oftener found, and many have speci- mems of the little gold coins representing 25 cents and 50 cents, which were not minted by the government and probably have not so much gold in them as they represent They used to pass as coin, but were never in general circulation, being so easily lost that they soon became scarce One of the handsomest coin relics seen is a $10 gold piece bearing the mint stamp of 1799. It is larger than the present S10 piece. The owner has 1t hung in band and wears 1t as charm on his watch chain. The owner says he refused an offer of $150 for this relic. The old octagonal $50 pieces were quite common in California in early days, when gold dust was largely used as cir culating medium. They were made of pure gold, and while they had not the elegant finish of the gold coins minted by the government in these days, many still remember them as the handsomest coin they ever saw. Many people now would consider them handsome on ac- count of the $50 in them.

GROUSE IS A CLEVER BIRD.
1t Evades the Hunter by Tricks That Display Its Intelligence, Even
 When Wounded.

The grouse has 100 tricks of defense says Outing It will sometimes lie still until the hunter is within yard of it. then soar straight upward in his front, towering like woodcock: again, 1t will rise 40 yards away, and the sound of it's wings is his only notice of its presence. It will cover upon a branch under which he passes, and his cap will not be more than a foot be- low it as he goes, and though it has seen him approaching. 1t will remain Quiescent in frightful fear until his back is turned. It will flush then. and when he has slowed himself hurriedly around he will catch only glimpse of a brown, broad wing far away.
 Wounded and falling in the open, 1t will be found-;if it is found at all- with the telltale speckles of it's breast against the trunk of some brown tree against which its feathers are indis- tinguishable, and the black ruff about the neck of the male will be laid against the darkest spot of the bark. Often 1t will double like fox; often, as man draws near, it will spring noiselessly into some spruce and hide until he passes, dropping then to the ground and continuing it's feeding: often, too, 1t will decline to take wing, though unhurt. and will run fast for a half Maile-so fast that the most expert woodsman will be unable to keep pace with it. This it will do only on leafy ground and never when snow would betray It's tracks.

BOX OFFICE SUPERSTITION.
Why the Cross-Eyed Man Got roux Good Seats at the Theater
 for Nothing.

A newspaper man was the second in line at the box office of one of the popular theaters the other evening on the open ing night, says the New York Times.
 "Oh, that's all right. There's no charge at all for those seats.''
 The man looked surprised, thanked the ticket rhanipulator, and went on. Then the newspaper man had his turn, and he said:
 Please satisfy impertinent curiosity and tell me why you wouldn't take that mans money"
 Well" said the treasurer, T expect you didn't notice that that man was cYoss-eyed. If I had sold him the first tickets. we wouldn't have had bit of tuck through the whole engagement

WELLS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Large Areas in That Country Are Without Surface water-Govern-
 ment Boring Plant Kept Busy.

Over large areas in South Africa the surface is streamless, and hence without a visible water supply. By boring to no great depth, though, the desired article can almost invariably be found, says the New York Tribune. An engineer in the public works department of the Cape government says that in the last five years the authoriteis have made 2,000 boreholes at an average cost of z 50 each, and at least three-fourths of these have produced water in satisfactory quanti- ties, the daily output from such wells now being about 2s,o0o ,00o gallons. The Transvaal government has also ap- pointed an expert to study local posstbili- ties.
 These facts are naturally of interest to manufacturers of well-boring plants who are already doing 8 considerable business with South Africa, and who may expect to see that business multiplied many times over during the next few years. During 1898, 1899 and 1900 appli- cations for the use of Cape government drills averaged about 500 annually, and at present so largely have these applf- cations increased, no fewer than half a hundred drills are in constant operation, and the government is said to have booked sufficient work to keep the exist ing plant fully occupied for at least three years, and further applications will therefore have to be met by large in- creases of plant, and by extensive private enterprise in the same direrection.
