Some Old Coins.

The value of coins is enhanced by
age, but. like many another object lear
to the collector. their price fl~uctuates.
How to fix the value of a particular
specimen is often q difficult matter.
Sir MOuntstuart Grant-Duff has noted
n curious instance of this character.
a Jew brought from Bokhara one of
the great gold coins of Eucratides,
weighing about twenty of our SOW
ereigns. Approaching the fondness of
the west for curious objects. he COM
menced operations by demand G42,0 900
for it. There was no bidder at this
price in Paris. Sc he came to England
n tackled the British museum peo-
pie. He asked and was informed what
was its intrinsic value. well. when
was it struck" he Queried. Again the
information was Forthcoming. upon
which he confessed himself willing to
tai interest at ) per cent. from that
cate" Eventually it changed hands
for 5000. More recent sales of old
coins have shown that for are and
curious specimens diamond price" IS

While We have all been watching
with interest the doings of the Empe-
Tor Menelik's troops against the Null
lab. few have imagined that that eX-
cellent soldier may have been expert

men. Money trouble is chronic in

but not in the same way. The only
coins current are dollars of the Maria
Theresa 1880 description. and the val
ue of these varies alarmingly. Nomin-
ally they are the exchange for 2s. 100.
but in parts 81 the Abyssinian terri
tory they run nine TO the sovereign.
Even when a native has been induced
to agree upon the proper rate of eX-
change. he will quarrel with his dollar,
declaring the DIN too old or too new.

n comfort in the story of a strange
disappearance n recovery of a coin

connolsseur, called at the British Mu-
scum TO examine the coins there, and.
when about to leave. was Informed
that a coin was missing and that he
must allow himself to be searched be-
fore quitting the room. This he re-
fused to do. and advised a careful ex-
animation of the case in which the
coin had lain. His advice was acted
upon by the attendant. There. in the
