Smallest British Coin.

Tn the British crown colony of Hong-Kong coin is in circulation known as the 'smil." This is a tiny copper coin with a hole in the cen ter, intended to take the place of the Chinese ''cash," which is one-f1fty- third of penny, and is in general use among the coolies in the colony. The mil is one-tenth part of cent. one-one thousandth part of dollar, and as the silver dollar in use in Hong g-Kong is at present worth about 40 cents, it follows that the mil" is worth about one-twenty-ffth part of a cent. This, therefore, is the value of the smallest British coin. Another minute British coin is the Maltese ''grain," which has been issued re- gently in Malta; six of these go to a cent. It is such a pretty little coin that 1t has attracted the notice of tourists, and is already at premium. It can scarcely be obtained now ex- cept at the rate of five to the cent, serious difference in the eyes of the frugal Maltese. Stories.

SUICIDE IN SIBERIA.
Iounced There Is No Such Tnlng as Taking 1t Back.

know of case where man, after violent quarrel with his five sons, an- nounced aloud his wish to die The next morning he thought better of 1t and retracted his words; but-so was informed, in all seriousness-the re- ,vengeful spirits shortly afterward in n1cted the hoof disease on his herd, and took away three of his sons, one after another, says writer in Harper's.
 Usually, however, the man who has proclaimed his wish to die remains firm until the end. Imet, in 1895, at the iAnui fair in the Kolyma country, a man by the name of Katik, who said that he wanted to get rid of the troubles of this world.
 He had no apparent illness, but his zest for life had completely vanished, and he intended to start for the land Of his forefathers. He. was as eager for death as if it meant for him a pleasant journey to a distant but very @nteresting country.
 The vicinity of the Russian fort was aano place for the fulfilIment of his wish. so he had to delay it for a couple of dnonths; but when next I met Kafik's wife, early in. the fall, she was already Q widow.
 She told me the details of her hus. bands death in very simple way. He was strangled with lasso. She held his head in her lap, and two of his sons pulled the ends of the rope.
 Katik's wife told me also that he was cheerful to the last, and even joked the very moment his face was being covered with the hood of the death coat to prevent those present fromsee- jng his last struggle.

VAUDEVILLE AT THB JACQUES

The Wiltons continue to astonisn and amuse their fellow townsmen with the great comedy bar act they are pre- senting at the Jacques this week, and 1t is pronounced on all sides one of the best things Manager Poli has yet given US as a headliner. This is high praise, indeed, when consideration is taken or the fact that the show as a whole this week is one of the very best in every sense that he has ever provided for the local public. It is a show that will be talked of for many day, and no- body who likes vaud deville can afford to miss it. That seems to be the gen eral opinion, foo, for the attendance is better than it has been for many weeks. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

CARE OF TOILET BRUSHES.
A Simple Process for Cleansing Tn em Without Injury to Backs
 or Handles.

All toilet brushes must be washed spoiled. The bristles quickly become loosened, the backs cracked, and a valuable brush quite ruined in very short time, if carelessly done, says the Boston Globe. The back of a brush, no matter what it is made of, should not be wet. For this reason, the best thing for washing brushes in is the toilet toothbrush dish It is large enough to admit the bris- ties, and when quite full of water leaves the handle and back of the brush outside. Cold water ought to be used for cleaning the brushes, hot water discolors them and makes them soft. Fill the dish with tepid soft water, and add a teaspoonful of spirits of ammonia. Then place the bristles in the liquid, leaving the backs free from wet. Move the brush gently up and down to remove all the dust. The hartshorn removes all the grease and dirt, and the brush soon becomes very clean. Then rinse in cold water, with a little salt add CN, dAAo NA OJ SOAilAy T tOu d clean soft towel. Place the bristles in the open air, and dry them thor oughly before returning them to their places. The salt makes the bristles frmer, and the mir whitens them bet ter than when dried indoors.
 Before proceeding to the actual bleaching process, the brushes should be we'll washed in soap and water, and then thoroughly rinsed In or der to take out the objectionable yell Jewish color that these brushes take with wear, the following method may be adopted in the home, viz, buy from the chemist some hydrogen per oxide, ten volume strength. and di- lute it with 12 times the bulk; add to the resulting liquor few drops (no more) of ammonia, in order to make it slightly alkaline. Leave the brushes sleeping in this bath for about 24 hours, cold or at a tepid warmth. At the end of this time the brushes should be bleached to a good white, and they are rinsed . we'll in warm water and again washed with soap. A few precautions should be taken when using hydrogen per oxide. It should not be allowed to come in contact with metal surfaces during bleaching, or a, good white will not be obtained.

Years greeting in the form of let

In love with all noble life, I will
strive to be at home in Gods world as
l hope to be in his heaven. Though
my work lie in the valleys, I will not
spend all my time there, but often climb
upon the hill-tops. The dust of earth S
petty discussions and jealousies I will
refuse to breathe; and my charity of
heart shall be like Gods snow, a man
tie to cover over all. l will ask for
eyes as much to see the good and true
in others as the hidden beauties in
lichen and rock. Trees and birds and
little children shall teach me the beauty
of simplicity; and my presence I will
seek to make known in the world not
as the sting of the hail, but silently and
softly as the snow falls. I will be will
ling to dig for my treasure, nor expect
to find it coined at hand. l will not be
SO foolish as to think l can monopo1ize
any of Gods air or sunshine, but will
try to make my own life each day like
the breath of heaven to someone in dis
tress. l will remember that every night
is the mother of new dawn; and when
my work is done and evening come, l
will await with patience the sound of
matin bells to call me home to worship
in my Fathers house above.
With the Seasons best greetings,
From your Pastor,
CHAs. SRHAGER.

The Detroit Free Press makes the
following discouraging observations
about politics as business cit is
one thing to attend the primaries and
help nominate the best man, but it is
quite another thing to depend on
politics for bread and butter, to say
nothing of tobacco and whiskey and
other necessaries of political life.
Politics is a fine vocation for a young
man. If he is clean and honest it is
good for him and good for the gov
eminent. But it is a bad vocation.
The man that depends on politics for
living will either have a very poor
living or he will obtain it by methods
which cannot be safely discussed in
the presence Of a grand jury. Long
participation in office, without other
means of support, often leads to
penury or worse"
