Law of Treasure Trove."

Not long ago 6,775 English silver
pennies. which some man had boarded
up for his own benfit in times when
pennies were silver. were sold to the
public at auction in London, real
iz!ng $500 for the national treasury.
This money was dug up by some
laborers at Colchester while laying
the foundations of building. The
crown sAepped in and seized the find,
but 1t rewarded the finders. and q
few rare coins in the collection were
sent TO the British museum. When
the hoard was found the price of these
silver pennies went down in all the
coin collectors markets. This strange
and not particularly reasonable law
of treasure trove' has extended
from England to France, Germany.

The pirates rushed about with Won

she was In chase.

CHAPTER XII.
The .luIia Marian

The pirate brig Gypsy duly arrived
on the grounds where Pope proposed
to cruise while he waited for the
Madre de Dios to heave into sight. A
man was stationed throughout the day
and throughout the night, if the
weather wac clear. on the fore-topgal-
liant yard, and reported every sail he
described. Whenever a sail was sight
ed course was shaped for her. but
the chase was promptly abandoned
when it was seen she was not the
ship the pirates waited for.
They had been cruising three days.
In these times they had trimmed sail
for few distant ships which did not
turn out to be what they wanted. A
fourth morning broke. Crystal was
in charge and Pope walked the planks
by his side. On high, seated upon
the fore-topgallant yard, with a
ships glass slung on his back was
the figure of seaman. His white
breeches shook with the flight of the
wind. His left hand grasped the tie.
and with continuous slow motions of
the head. hungry with the passions
of the expectant heart-sickened pirate,
he sunk his frowning gaze into the
distant sea-line.
Then he sung down loud and clear,
sail no."

Pope.

Women III Russia.

Mrs Kate T. Woolsey, writing on
"Woman's Inferior Position in a Re
public" compares woman's status in
the United States with her status in
Russia. For example, in America mil
lions of wives have no individual con-
troll over their property. In Russia,
on the other hand, for about two GEN.
turtles. every wife has been the legal
mistress OF her own fortune.
Where 5000 wives are deserted by
husbands in America. 500 such deser-
tions occur in Russia. No little girls
can be employed in Russian factories;

Grindal.

When all the surroundings arc clean and

ment recommended is to touch the dis
