Curious ornament of Coins.

The fruits of twenty-five years of labor and saving are visible in a curi- ous vase made by Edward Rausch. The vase is over five feet high and thirty-two inches at its largest diam- eter. It's exterior, from top to bottom, is composed of coins, ancient and mod ern, great and small, representing the money tokens of all peoples, which have been carefully made fast to a surface of copper. Some of the coins are extremely rare. Among them are crude bars, rings and bolts which were once used as the medium of exchange by African and other savage tribes. Spanish coins of early date are seen in abundance, and some early Greek coins are there. Sicilian spoon money, early Japanese bars and forks. Afri- can horseshoes, shell money of sea- coast savages, as well as the most modern coins are to be seen.
 The value of the vase MT. Rausch places at $75,0O0. It's maker is cor nice-maker, and by birth a German. He says the vase is the only one of its kind in the world. He began to col lect the coins in 1879, and, though not possessed of wealth and dependent for his living on his daily toll, he collected so rapidly that he soon conceived the idea of making the vase. He found, however, that what looked like an im- mense pile of coins when loose GOV. cred only a small patch on the vase, and then he devoted his life to finish ing the article.-Philadelphia Record.

Curious Nesting Places.

Some curious haunts of birds for nesting places have been noted this year. At Ryhall, between Essendine and Stamford, nest of young robins has been reared in an old salmon tin which had been thrown away, and, at a neighborlng railway station, some birds made their home in a bell which Is fixed against a wall, and which is in constant use. Swallows have taken possession of hovel attached to one of the railway gatehouses at Billing borough, and have reoccupied the nest which they built two years ago in the loop of a piece of chain suspended from the roof. The whole arrange ment forms kind of miniature swing. For five or six years robins have regu. larly built their nest in an old water ing can hanging in an arbor at Stam- ford. This year six young birds have been matched in the can. Four young blackbirds have also been reared in a disused watering can in which the old birds built their nests at Grantham.

MANY USES FOR PAPER.
Japanese Excel in Manufacture of This
 Product.


 From the bark of trees and shrubs the Japanese make scores of papers, which are far ahead of ours, says the National Geographic Magazine. The walls of the Japanese houses are wooden frames covered with thin paper, which keeps out the wind, but lets in the light, and when one com pares these paper-walled "doll houses" with the gloomy bamboo cabins of the inhab bitants of the island of Java or the widowed huts of our fore fathers one realizes that without glass and in rainy climate, these ingenious people have solved In q remarkable way the problem of lighting their dwellings and, at least in measure, of keeping out the cold.
 Their oiled papers are astonishingly cheap and durable. As cover for his load of tea when rainstorm overtakes him the Japanese farmer spreads over 1t tough, pliable cover of oiled paper, which is almost as impervious as tar paulin and as light as gossamer. He has doubtless carried this cover for years, neatly packed away somewhere about his cart. The "rikisha" coolies in the large cities wear mantles of this oiled paper, which cost less than IS cents and last for year or more with constant use.
 An oiled tissue paper, which is as tough as writing paper, can be had at the stationers' for wrapping up deli cate articles. Grain and meal sacks are almost always made of bark paper in Japan, for it is not easily penetrated by weevils and other insects. But perhaps the most remarkable of all tho papers which find common use in the Japanese household are the leather papers of which the tobacco pouches and pipe cases are made. They are almost as tough as French kid, so translucent that one can nearly see through them, and as pliable and soft as calfskin. The material of which they are made is as thick as cardboard, but as flexible as kid

Animal Curiosity.

A COW will approach new object fascinated, but with timorous suspi- cion, and horse is even more timid, gazing at distance for awhile, ready to flee in moment. The monkey will snatch at everything that is new and deliberately examine it till, finding that he cannot eat or mock mankind with it, he will drop it and let it pass from his shallow memory. There is pa thos in the slenderness of animal curi- osity, it is so easily satisfied. The thought, if thought it te, usually ends with the first flush of surprise and the impression of safety.

C.valrymen Who Ride Oxen.


 The oldest cavalry In the world is maintained on the west coast of Ma dagascar by Governor General J. G. Gallieni. While the French troops in that country are ample to meet the occasional revolutions, the governor general makes use of the native talent for police work in out of the way To-. calities. On the west coast of Africa is a tribe of natives. possibly racially connected with the Hovas. who are known as the Sakahova. the most warlike tribe of the country. The na- lives. in imitation of Frerch troop CTS, organized an oxen cavalry corps, under command of a French officer. They are armed with modern long. handled lances or spears and side arms.

Argument Against War.

Peace leagues and societies for the prevention of war may be able to use an argument which Current Literature says was advanced by pupil in a primary school in the Southwest.
 At the beginning of the war with Spain the teacher told the class some thing about the circumstances, and asked all who favored the war to hold up their hands. Up went every hand but Jacks.
 "Well, Jack, why are you opposed to the war;" asked the teacher.
 "'Cause, Miss Sophie, war makes history, an there's more now'n l can ever learn."

TROUBLES OF AN HEIREsa.
Traulein Krupp of Essen Guarded by
 Detectives.


 Detectives.
 It is one of the grim ironies of fate that young girl, barely of age, should be in sense responsible for the bloodshed in the struggle between Russia and Japan, owing to the fact that she supplied both powers with practically all of their guns. Tho young woman in question is Miss Krupp, who, on the death of hes father, became chief proprietor of the world-famed Krupp works at Essen and likewise became the wealthlest woman In the world.
 The heiress seems to have inherited some of the family capacity for indus trial organization, for she takes the greatest pride and delight in supervls- ing the work of the different depart ments, and declares that at some fu- ture time she will have gained sufii- cient experience to take an active part in the direction of affairs.
 Meanwhile, her interference in busi- ness matters is limited to passive supervision, but she takes a more ac- tive interest in controlling the manage ment of the numerous auxiliary de- partments of the establishment. The schools for the children of her en- ployes and the hospitals for the care of the sick receive regular visits from her. and she has sharp eye for de- fects of all kinds.
 Knowing human nature, 1t Is hardly surprising to find that Miss Krupp's employees do not appreciate her good qualities and charitable ways. Living In Miss Krupp's houses, sending their children to her schools, applying ,o her hospitals when they or their fam flies are sick, attending her churches, buying meat from her erslaughter-houses, four from her mills, bread from her bakeries and hats and clothes from her stores makes them feel that they are her serfs, and not free-born laborers.
 Miss Krupp's charitable disposition ras become known to the general pub lie in Germany, with the result that she receives, on an average, over 200 purely begging letters day, and over 150 letters daily entreating her to grant some position in the works to some worthy young man.
 She also has to undergo some of the inconveniences which are generally confined to emperors and kings. Her vast wealth and the ownership of an entire city make her a likely target for anarchists bullets. and her friends are in constant terror of assassination. For this reason her guardians have in- sisted on her being continually guard ed by a special corps of detectives, who are always in her vicinity.-Lon- don Daily Mail.

p. O. DEPARTMENT IS BUSY.
Many Changes Made in Names of Old
 and Familiar Offices.

ana famtltar Ofhccs. The Postoffice Department has been playing havoc with the old familiar names of offices throughout the coun- try. It has been obliged to discontinue the mail service at New York. To be sure, 1t Is not the New York of the Great White Alley whose postal facili. ties have been cut of, but town of somewhat smaller size, in the State of Iowa. It has also been the unhappl- ness of the people of Rock Branch, ill the same commonwealth, to lose their postoffice, and the records have been transferred to Correctionville. Ominous name! Let us hope the records are straight.
 In Michigan the department has amended the name Sault de Ste. Marie into Sault Sainte Marie. and 1t has established the offices of Racy and Rescue. In Minnesota that noble of flee known for years as Proctorknott has been shorn of Its final syllable. and the famous orator is known only by his Christian name upon the mailing lists now. Skog is a new name in Min nesota. and good one. In Mississippi Chunkeys Station has been trans formed into Chunky. In Oregon Needy has been stricken from the list and in Pennsylvania Arcadia has been es- tablished.
 In the Philippines Masbate has been discontinued. Equality has been estab- lished in South Carolina and new Bunker Hill has arisen In Tennessee. Doeville has also sprouted in Tennes- see, and there the much-sought John may have his home.
 In Texas Hawley has been trans formed into Blessing and an Arp has appeared, doubtless modest tribute to the humorous gentleman of that pseudonym. Virginia has new Dot, Pilot and School, but has lost Cool Well and n Dell.
 Correspondents who have hitherto addressed foreign letters to Beulah, Llandyssil, must now use larger en- velopes and write it Beulah, Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire. Likewise Llwyndafydd, New Quay, Cardigan shire. Why has West Hiss, Hants, been complicated into West Liss, East Hiss, Hants? And why has Tygerfontein, Cape Colony, been "erased from the list?" Does the change of Victoria West Road to Hutchinson indicate a disloyal ten dency in the colony?
 The Postof1ice Department Is always busy changing names, establishing, discontinuing, moving offices, reform ing their spelling and generally keep ing them in order. For light summer reading try the United States Official Postal Guide" whose yellow covers appropriately hint at its interesting contents.-Ncw York Sun.

HISTORY MUST BE REVISED,
If All that Reads Unfavorab1y Should
 Be Stricken Out.

Since 1885, when the great and gen eral court declared Roger Williams to be unfit for fellowship and banished him from the state, there have been seven different petitions to have the edict revoked. All have received the indorsement of religious as well as po- litical leaders, yet there has never been q sufficiently vigorous expression of public sentiment to bring 1t about. The last petition bfore the legislature represented all shades of religious feeling. It was signed by descendants of those who had been instrumental in driving Roger Williams to Rhode Isl and nearly 300 years ago. But tradi- ton is powerful, almost sacred, and what has gone on the statute books stays. The failure to repeal any law that has long been useless is an exam pie of the same kind.
 In view of such facts, it is some what surprising that there is going on now another movement to have the name of the apostle cleared. In spirit the people of this State respect the memory of Roger Williams as deeply and as sincerely as the citizens of Rhode Island or of any other New England commonwealth. The persons who are determined to have the ban removed appear to be endowed with much of the unquenchable enthusiasm of Williams himself. which enabled him to conquer in spite of all obstacles and persecution. The leaders of the new movement are now circulating petition at all the watering places Ill New England, and after signatures have been obtained here it will be sent to St. Louis for the approval of all the New Englanders who visit the Worlds Fair, and thence to different sections in the West where puritan sentiment is strong. It is hoped to have the names of 1000 men and women of prominence In this State alone, and many more names from Massachusetts and New England people in other parts of the country.
 However the edict against William was not peculiar to the times. Other fearless thinkers i'll politics and theol- ogy were banished. If we are going into the matter of erasing from our of- ficial records everything that reads un- favorably now, our whole history will need to be remodeled, revised and ex- purgated. The temperament of puri- tan times was cold, stern and bricky. Why try to make it appear to be what 1t was not?-Boston Advertiser.
