The Worlds Oldest Coin.

That money, in the form of coin,
should be a comparatively recent in
vention, If we may use the word,
seems too odd to be true. But we are.
reminded of the fact by the news sent
from Turkey in Asia that a German
archaeologist has just obtained the
oldest coin in existence. which only
dates from the ninth century before
the Christian era.
1t was from the mint, if the express
sion may be used of such an early
date, of an Aramean king of Schamo,.
This oldest known coin is, we believe.
about twelve centuries older than The
Oldest existing book. But coins, being
made of precious metal, are enormous
ly durable. Some of the earliest and
best coins of the Mediterranean basin
are those of the old Greek colony of
Czyzicus, on the Hellespont, and prob
ably the Oldest existing piece of metal
work of which the date is known is
the tripod, made to celebrate the vic
tory of Plataea by the Greeks over
the Persians. The golden ball which
it supported is gone. But the tripod
itself, designed to initiate twisted SER
penis, is still kept in the mosque OF
St. Sophia at Constantirople.

Dashinu French Modes.

With the revival of all the pictur
esque modes, even the tailor-mades
are taking on dressy touch that has
hitherto been foreign to their particu
lar style. The dashing modes of the
Louis periods are to be seen in the
soft chiffon cloths, and even the new
double-width crepe de chine is now be-
ing made up in the draped models to
which the tailors are giving their bes!
attention.
And in contradistinction to the old
modes the new ones demand that the
dressy costumes be of silk or velvet
and that the trimming be of cloth.
The novel chiffon faille Franchise, our
old friend come back under the chif-
fon guise, is seen in the Louis Seize
mode with the seams strapped with
cloth, graduated cloth bands upon the
skirt, the characteristic revers faced
with velvet and the cloth appliQues
piped with the same.

Polite Children of East Bolivia.

Capt. Jermann of Rio de Janeiro,
who recently returned from a journey
into the rubber districts of East b.
livia, almost in the heart of Central
America, visited town in the very
interior, so far from civilization that
it required horseback ride of three
days to get to it. There he found two
schools for boys and one for the girls
Of the place, but only one teacher,
who was an old half-breed. This old
man was drunk when the traveller ar
rived, and remained drunk for two
days.
But" says Capt. Jermann, "the chill
dren were just as good and well-be-
haved as if they were enjoying the
best educational chances in the world.
They were as polite as the most Gull
tured people in the outside world, and
were eager to show me attentions,
without, however, pressing them upon
me.
"They never entered a house, not
even shop, without knocking at the
door or the side and obtaining permits
sion to come in. After this permission
was given they always took off their
shoes, which they left outside

This Seasons Laces.

Multiform uses for lace this season
make the ransacking of bureau draw
ers, work bags, trunks and all kinds
of storage corners profitable bust
ness. Any sort of lace can be utilized
heavy or fine, ancient or modern,
black, white or yellow. If you have
only scrap you can use it in con-
nection with ribbon for some sort OF
a neck piece. If little more, 1t may
do for a hat; one kind will serve for
the crown and another for the brim.
Allover lace hats for dressy occasions
are as becoming as they are of the
mode.
The felt or velvet hat may be given
an up-to-date touch by the addition OF
a ruching Of lace.
Lace joined by handwork makes the
prettiest sort of an evening bodice.
The girl who is clever at that sort OF
thing can get up fancy waist for six
or eight dollars that would cost her
fifty in the shop.

A Hint for Artists.

Now that hand-painted panels OF
trimmings are so much in vogue fol
evening gowns there should be a good
chance for a skillful artist to make
her own gowns beautiful or dispose
OF such work where it is wanted.
In doing this painting a certain de.
sign is chosen, perhaps a spray of
flowers OF the colors desired and this
design can then be repeated in the
various parts of the gown, the size of
the design depending on where it is to
be used. Such gown could have the
sash ends, flat yoke or collar, skirt
panels or other skirt decorations all
painted with the desired pattern. Rib.
bon painted with smaller pattern of
the same design may also be used.
Blouses painted with floral or but.
terf1y designs are very popular abroad
and are sure to be worn here.

T-cs of Two Colors.

An entirely novel idea in fur TRIM
ming is to applique fur medallions or
flowers in one color on scarfs and
muffs of another color. One beautiful
set of this description is of ermine,
the very white fur being ornamented
with scrolls of moleskin on each
shoulder, on the stole ends, and on the
panels of the large muff.
Tiger and leopard furs are made
up usually in small fancy neckties and
very plain crescent muffs, never
trimmed in any way and lined most
inconspieuOusly.
Black and the reddish baby calf
follow the same model, and are in
variably simple. The red and white
calf is sometimes lined and combined
with white kid, but the black is all
smooth, glossy black, with not even a
jewel in the clasp.
Snake skin, too, should be recorded
as observing these extremely tailor
made designs. All these eccentric furs
are almost wholly worn with tailor
made dresses and with small, unob-
trusive toques, the fur furnishing all
the audacity and showiness necessary
in any one costume.

Attractive RuffIed Skirts.

There are many attractive ruffled
skirts for slender women, but they
should be passed by by stout maids.
For example, recently imported mod
ell has a skirt of pale yellow net, rath-
er full and long, trimmed with five ruff
fles of yellow pineapple silk, which
grow narrower toward the ground.
Each rufile is edged with a narrow
corded puff of deeper shade of vel
low. The bodice of net is half hidden
by fichu tabs that end below the waist
line and are held in place by girdle
OF black taffeta. The sleeves are
puffed and end at the elbow.

Dangerous Flowers.

The florist held tulip in his hand
"Some people claim that a tulip has
no SMELL" he said. "As matter OF
fact, it has a dangerous smell. Take
a tulip of a deep crimson color and in.
hale it with profound inspirations and
it will be apt to make you lightheaded.
You will say and do queer things
dance, sing, fight, swear and so on.
For two hours you will cut up in this
way. Afterward you will be de-
pressed.

flower. A young woman of nervous
temperament, if she fingers among a
bed of peoples, will become drowsy.

or two of opium. In Asia Minor,
where the opium manufacturers cult
vate vast fields of peoples, tourists in
specting the beautiful flowers often be-
come altogether incapacitated. They

They reel in their gait. In some cases
they have to be put to bed. Boston

Ducks Led BY a Pigeon.

One of the strangest sights ever
seen by sportsmen was witnessed the
other day on the duck pass owned by
Uri Lamprey of st. Paul.
Mr.. Lamprey and a friend had been
shooting for some time when they
observed flock of ducks coming
along from the north. The ducks were
blue-winged teals and at Their head
was a white bird.
That's queer" said Mr.. Lamprey;
"I'll take the white bird and see what
it is"
Both sportsmen fired, both bringing
down their bird. Upon examination
it was found that the leader of the
ducks was tame white pigeon.
If anyone has ever before seen
flock of ducks led by white pigeon
it is time for him to rise and say so.

Curious Combination.

A curious fashion which has made
its appearance of late is that of
wearing a ceinture of black taffeta
with a colored costume. To accom-
pany it there is generally rosette
of black taffeta worn on one side of
the corsage, and sometimes the same
is repeated on the sleeves. The effect
is not always of the happiest, especial
ly when the gown is trimmed with
different colored material to that of
which it is made, and it may be doubt
ed whether the vogue will be of long
duration.

GLASS TOMBS OF HAWAII.
Night Travel Is a Nightmare In the

Uncanny Lava Fielos.
The home of Opunui stood at the
frontier of Oil. Twice he started and
turned back, vaguely wondering why
a patch known since childhood should
prove so confusing. Again he start

waved, muttered and beckoned. The
road became alive and undulated like
the sea. Then came a blank till
something tripped and threw him. He
struggled to his feet, realizing his
danger. The menace of the Hawaiian

have lain still till daylight came to
his rescue. AS it was, fear smote him
with panic. Frantically he tore at
the dropping creepers, fought his way
through tangled growths, struggled as
the intertwined roots caught and
clung-on, and on, madly, crying aloud
for help on all the banished GODS of
his race.
Then the inevitable happened!
There was a rending of rotten

The Sneezcwood Tree,

Among it's many other peculiarities,
South Africa includes the sneeze-
wood" tree, which takes its name from
the fact that one cannot cut it with a
saw without sneezing. Even in plan
ing the wood it will sometimes have
the same effect.
No insect or worm will touch it; it is
bitter to the taste, and its specific grav-
ity is heavier than water.
The color is light brown. the grain
running very close and hard; it is, too
a nice-looking wood, and takes good
polish. For dock work, piers, or jet
ties it is most useful timber, keep
ing sound long time while under

barter is your government soldier. He
after having duly prayed that the mer-
chants father may burn, and that his
grandfather may miss his footing on
the bridge that lets true believers in
to paradise, but keeps out Jews, Naza'
renes and dogs generally, applies the
closure by resting the butt end of his
musket affectionately in the pit OF
the hucksterers stomach. This saves
quite a dollar, besides valuable time,
and answers admirably in Morocco as
it was.
Among the old landmarks and,
frankly, the least to be regretted,
which the new regime will sweep
away, are the lovely marble wells, the
only ornament of streets on which,
since the native ladies are, by imputa-
ton, frail, no window looks.
Fair without, these wells are very
foul within; and over one, where its

words Drink and look" might better

eye at any rate, the Neapolitan's

interest in the damaged purity of the

Within Guarded Walls.

Within Guarded Walls.
Such an hour, ere all that humanity
seethes back in the narrow alleys,
should the stranger choose in which
to spy out the land. His first surprise,
if he is not hot-foot from Europe, VIII
be the lack of suburbs. A hundred
thousand Arabs, Berbers, Jews and
hybrids, crowd, haggle, love or STAY
within the yellow girdle of the crumb-
led walls, yet just without the gates
a five-minute canter brings us to the
very desert. A little reflection will
show, however, that the suburb, the
cheap and vulgar suburb, is one OF the
doubtful prizes of security. London
struggles in gingerbread recrudes-
cence out to Harrow; Paris throws
her tentacles even to Versailles; but
in country like Morocco of old, men
slept more securely within guarded

For brief hour on the forenoon OF
the Sabbath, which is Friday, pious
folk of Tangier leave the backbiting
and chicanery of the bazaars and van
ish silently within the portals OF the
mosque, over which, during divine
service, flutters the red bandrol. The
city is then seen in peaceful mood, a
city of the dead; and the European
may ride unchecked past stalls where
none trade, past wells where none
draw water. The shrill tongued "muez-
Yin" has proclaimed from the tall,
white minaret that Allah is the One
God, and the slippered worshippers
have gathered their flowing robes
