PESOS ARE QUICKLY COINED.
Philadelphia Mint Has 100000
Ready for Philippines.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 10
There are ready for shipment TO
the Philippine Islands 100000
pesos, which were coined at the
Philadelphia Mint in the last
twenty-five working days.
On March = the act of Congress
providing for the coinage of money
for the Philippine Islands became
operative. and orders were at once
sent TO the San Francisco and
Philadelphia minis to prepare to
hurry the work of coming the
pesos.
The coinage in this case is equal
to the minting of the same number
of American dollars, and it thus
required the handling on an average
of 100000 pesos daily for the
twenty-five days. In this time the
mint also added to the Philippine
coinage 100000 pieces of bronze,
valued at $4,000, and 100000
nickels, valued ut $1S0,000.
Superintendent Lands said the
amount of work done was remark
able. taking into consideration the
recent depletion of the force.

QUEER TEST OF INNOCENCE.

"a strange way 10 test the in
nocence of an accused person is en-
ployed in India" said dealer in
hides, who lately returned from
Madras. They haul the man up
and give him handful of dry rice
to chew. l don't suppose you ever
chewed dry rice? Well, it is hard
work. 1t takes deal OF chewing to
get it masticated into a glutinous
mass, like gum, and that is the con-
dition the accused is required to
get into within ten minutes. If YOU
are calm and not afraid you sue
coed; but if YOU are nervous and
scared you fail. For ii seems that
fear has 4 strong effect on the sail
vary glands; it prevents them from
secreting saliva; the mouth of Il
badly frightened person Is always
dry as bone 1t requires tremen-
dous flow OF saliva to chew dry rice,
and therefore the scared person in
evitably fails in this test. 1t isn't,
of course, a test employed in the
courts of the big towns. 1t belongs

THE sound, sensible and logical
expression of Grover Cleveland on

ALL that know New Orleans
and have whiled away pleasant
hours at West End, mourn with
the people of the Crescent City for
the destruction of that beautiful
suburban resort by the fire fend,
which occurred last Tuesday morn

the North was blowing at the time

the fire until it had burned itself

the finest yacht in southern waters.

V AMERICAN CLASSIC.
Ne5o Edition of Clarence Kings
Fine Book.

MOUNTAINEERING ~ THE SIERRA NEVADA.
BY Clarence King. 12no, PIP. 31S Charles Scrio-
ner's Sons.
This edition of the late Clarence Kings
captivating book is one of the most welcome
publications of the year. It is a work which we
would not willingly neglected, for, like the
authors moving sketch, "The Helmet of Nam
brino." it is literature of rare and distn-
guished quality Though man of science,
King looked at Nature through the eyes Of
poet, and he knew, as few of his calling have
known, how to share her magic with his readers.
That pure, splendid light that thrills along the
great sierras' can never quite fade for him who
has yielded himself to the spell Of these noun
taineering memories Again and again he can
return with unabated delight to this chapter or
that OF adventure in a land of dim forests. Of
flower strewn meadow and Of icy heights,
austere, magnificent There are episodes of
danger and endurance; there are interludes of
sunny humor-and all set in the frame Of
style as nmpid 1t is vigorous.
We commend to those who hold that geology
is necessarily dull the opening chapter on The
Range-the wonderfully picturesque story of
the formation OF the towering sierras, which
ends In the equally picturesque account of
desert journey. Can we ever forget that fairy
Ike oasis with its two palms and its clear pool,
to which came the two travellers faInting with
thirst, like the wild doves that futtered into the
water beside them! Strange is the contrast be-
tween that bright vision and the grim terrors

readers pulse must beat little faster in SYM
pathy with the two mountaineers when they
discover that they have been unconsciouEly sit

the big green crawlers each season, and
they keep them In a turtle corral until
they want them for the table.
1T was in one of these corra1s that
practised capturing turtle single handed.
You could see dozens of them lying on
the bottom in the fairly shallow water.
I got into the corral and swan slowly up
behind one of the largest Then seized
his shell firmly, and the fun began He
made for the surface first thing, and got
a breath Of air, of which I stood in sore
need. Then he tore through the water,
turning this way and that in an effort
to shake me off. I was nearly smothered
when by accident drew my knees UP on
his back, which would have given me n
kneeltng position had been riding him on
shore instead Of in the water. The effect
was instantaneous; he came to the sur
face. It was the pressure of my body
against the rushing water that did the
trick, and In that I solved the secret Of
turtle riding.
"Out on the bar, however. it was
different matter. We got within six feet
of a monster loggerhead, and | dove as
silently as possible. He certainly was a
Wild one. Never having been turned over
on tn ebeach, like the turtles in the corral,
his first dash from an unknown enemy
was mighty, and I nearly lost my hold. I
brought him to the surface once cor twice
by drawing up my knees, butt could
not head him away from the reef. All of
sudden he plunged over and down, down,
down into tn ccold, blue water. I held
on to a depth of twenty feet, then gave it
up, coming to the surface, half drowned.

TURTLE said the man from Maryland:
r.. well, I came SO near it there was no
fun in it for the TURTLE" was the turtle
riders excuse.
The man from Maryland might have told
how they hunt the few remaining diamond
back terrapin in the marshes along the
coast. The season begins just after the
first thaw Of winter Ice. The turtles have
been in their self-dug graves in theaslimy
bottom since fall, and they are located by
prodding: favorable looking places with a
steel rod. They are pulled out with a
hook at the end Of the rod, and deposited
in a sack, which is carried by5a eolored
man. There was a time when many
"prodders'' made a good living, but that
was before the diamond back began to
disappear.
