SOME OLD COINS.

E l. I & V
 The value of coins is enhanced by age,
 but, like many other objects dear to the
 collector their price fiuctuates How to
 fix the value of a particular specimen
 is often a difficult matter. Sir Mount
 stuart Grant Duff has noted curious
 instance of this character. A Jew
 brought for Bolhars one of the great gold coins of Eucratides, weighing abut twenty of our jsovereigns. Approaching
 ting the fondness of the West for curious objects, he commenced opera tions by demanding f42,000 for 1t. There was no bidder at this price in Paris, so he came to England and tack led the British Museum people. He asked and was informed what was it's intrinsic value. Well. when was 1t struck?" he queried. Again the in formation was Forthcoming, upon which he confessed himself willing to take interest at per cent, from that date.'' Eventually it changed hands for e13,000. More sales of old coins have shown for rare and curious specimes diamond price, is easily obtainable.
 While we have all been watching with interest the doings of the Emperor
 Menelik's troops against the Mullah, few have imagined that the excellent soldier may have been experiencing trouble over the payment of his men. Money trouble is chronic in Abssinia- the i'll is known elsewhere, but not in the same way. The only. coins current are dollars of the Maria Theresa 17sO description, and the value of these varies alarmingly.

Fourteen years ago John Messengale, pf Macon county. Kansas, and Elijah E.

He is going finally to prove an expen- siye one for somebody. The case has been tried four times in justice and cir quit courts. has been heard once in the Kansas City court of appeals, and is now pending in the Charlton county cir cult court again. having been remanded by the court of appeals. The costs now amount to more than one hundred times the amount the steer was worth at the gsime the litigation began.

THE ZERHUII.

If the hornelv but industrious and useful mule doesn't kick against the as- sertion that he is to be superseded by the zebrula it will be because the asser- tion doesn't get near enough to him. The zebrula is probably good in it's way In fact it seems to be an uncommonly meritorious animal. It is cross be- tween the horse and the zebra, and is expected to be very useful in Africa and other tropical regions. It is said to be immune against the very dangerous horse disease of Africa and also against the deadly "tsetse' fly. On account of it's form and general bodily condition especially the hardness of the hoofs-it is specially adapted for all transport work heretofore performed by mules The zebrula is said to be much livelier than the mule and at least as intelli- gent. The zebra stripes are often well preserved. while the nndertone of the skin is generally that of the mother A full-grown zebrula is fourteen hands high, and the girdle circumference is about sixty-three inches.
 So pleased with the zebrula are some of those who are using it that they pre- dict that it will during the present cen tury completely supersede the mule. This prediction is careless one. There will probably still continue to be room in the world for both the mule and the ze- brula. If the zebruia does not get too near the hind end of the mule.

Some interesting experiments in deep sea salvage are, according to "ship- ping" about to be made in Australian waters. A daep-sea diving machine will be used, which has been successfully worked on Thursday Island and other pearl L asAisng grounds at various depths as low as ninety-fve fathoms. A test of the grab" which is manipulated by the diver. has demonstrated that the apparatus will work at a depth of two hundred fathoms. By way of showing how easy it would be to dislodge the huge iron girders of vessel, a couple of experienced Admiralty men said a large ship could be broken to pieces with Ess much ease under water as house could be blown to pieces on land. A be- ginning is to be made with the Elinga- mite. a vessel sunk deep in Australian waters.

We have some fine subjects in the Philippines. Word has been received at the War department that an expedi- tion has been sent against the head hunters of Lepanto, in Bontoc province, Island of Luzon, in the Philippines. It Is said that the head hunters went on "a rampage several months ago, but it was not until recently that they caused the officials to regard their uprising with some concern. Reports came from Bontoc that the head hunters had en- tered several towns in the province and killed half dozen natives, after which they severed the heads of their victims, and, mounting them upon poles, made for the mountains with their trophies. By direction of the commanding officer of the province Captain Charles Na- thorse was sent against the head hunt ers with one hundred Igorrote constab- nlary, many of whom are armed with the ancient Igorrote spear, in addition to side arms. Captain Nathorse has been instructed to do what he can to effectually break up the practice of the head hunters to capture as many of them as possible and to bring them to Manila, where they will be tried for their crimes.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT nEDlCINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best Of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward +. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incomPar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished.
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion oil
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81

greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
II proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrlvaled
place in the estimation of people OF wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses
