this particular analysis had been

CHANGES HIS SKIN YEARLY.
Strange Disease of New Yorker Who
Annually Dons New
Cuticle.

Most people have to wear the same
old skin through life, but Galen. N. Y,
has man in the person of William
Groescup, who has donned new one
every year for Is years, and he is
changing it again, although the one he
now has is only few months old.
Usually this strange disease makes
it's appearance in the early fall. Every
part OF the body becomes covered with
scales, which slough off. requiring in
the process from eight to IL weeks
Mr.. Groescup had the usual attack last
fall, which lasted we'll into the winter
and then recovered, not expecting an
other attack until next fall. but con-
trary to all former experience in this
case, the disease has manifested itself
again at this time and Mr.. Groescup
is again undergoing the painful and
disagreeable process.
The new skin is always as soft and
smooth as baby's.

DOLLAR BRINGS BIG PRICE,
Coin of 1904, One of Only Seven, Is
Sold for Two Thousand Times
Its Face Value.

A United States dollar, now in its
one hundredth year, recently began
making the long trip from Denver to
/ Portland, Ore, after having lain in a
Denver collection of coins for more
than is years.
The dollar is one of the coinage Of
1904, of which there are only seven
known to be in existence. 1t was
bought by the late ]. V. Dexter at the
Chapman sale of coins in 1885. At that
time the coin had been but lately Sc
ing the only one of the dollars that
is known to have been in a foreign col
lection
Mr.. Dexter paid 81 900 for the dollar,
having to bid against several other col
lectors, the price being at that time
the largest that had ever been paid for
one of the coinage named
Since then one OF the other coins has
been sold for $1,000, record that held
good until H. G. Brown, of Portland,
Ore, paid $4,000 for the coin to r. G.
Parvin, who succeeded to the owner
ship Of the Dexter collection.
About year ago the story of the
Parvin 1904 dollar was printed in pa
pers throughout the country. AS re-
suit, Mr.. Parvin has been receiving
letters ever since concerning his COL
lection of rare coins from all parts Of
the country.
During these negotiations Mr.. Parvin
thought he had discovered the limit Of
bidding, and that no man would go
over $1,000 in trying to get the coin.
So, when be was asked TO put price
upon it, he replied that he was not
willing to dispose of it, but had set
his price at $4,000.
Mr.. Brown did not wait for the slow
progress of the United States mail, but
telegraphed to send on the dollar. Aft
er that kilograms came at the rate of
one day, and, while Mr.. Parvin was
reluctantly placing the dollar in a
candy box and labelling it, there came
another telegram to hurry up the dol
lar anyway, and TO send it &c. o. D."
ii there was no other way. So the dol
lar started west.
The larger part of the silver dollars
OF 1904 were struck Off to pay United
States soldiers and sailors doing duty
! in Tripoli, North Africa, and were
shipped to that place. The vessel that
carried them away from this country
was never heard from again, so the
entire cargo is supposed to rest some
where upon the floor of the Atlantic
ocean.
Just seven copies of the dollar of
that year are in existence, two in the
mint at Philadelphia, and the others
being in private collections
: In 1858 some copies of the coin OF
1904 were struck Off. being known as
'restrikes," but all but two of them
, we're called in, the records show, and
destroyed. One copy of the "restrike'
is in the mint at Philadelphia, and the
other is owned in England No coun.
terfeit of the 1904 dollar has eve,
been known.

TWO LONG-LIVED WATERS,
Living Contradiction of Theory That
Is Entertained by Some
People.

One of New Yorks Oldest walters does
much to contradict the theory that wait
ers are short lived, says the Sun.
A recent change in the management of
a Broadway hotel has brought him to
the Tenderloin, where for the first time
he serves the patrons of cafe. He has
passed the greater part of the 80 years
that he has worked here in the hotels on
upper Fifth avenue.
Twenty-Five years ago he was in the
old Windsor, and used to look after the
Columbia college men who frequented
the hotel then. He was known to many
classes of students, and his acquaint-
ance made in the other hotels to which
he afterward wandered is compre-
hensive.
There is scarcely an uptown hotel in
which he has not been employed, and he
was just as gray 20 years ago as he is
to-day. He is quite as active now, too
as he ever was, and few younger men are
able to get about SO spryly as he.
One of the most popular walters in a
cafe on Broadway is the Oldest man in
Vic pldSC. liz W DIS III llldl1N years
Delmonico's, an establishment which
parts with its men more rarely than any
other. But for some reason he did not
get along with Philippe, and took a
place in the new French restaurant
when it was opened two years ago.
Many men have come and gone in that
time, but Paul finds his services always
in demand. His clients wait until one
of his tables is vacant in order that they
may have his attention and skill in mix
ing a salad.
Both of these men are long past the
age at which they might be thought to be
most efficient. But they are able to earn
more than their youthful colleagues.
Old walters are not as rule so capa-
BILE, however, as younger men, mainly
because they are likely to be bad tenn
pered.

STRINGS of Noses,

In paper read by Miss Adele NJ.
Fielde before the section of biology
of the New York Academy of Sciences,
the joints composing the antennae Of
ants were described as series Of
noses, each having special function.
The first Joint distinguishes the ants
native nest from the nest of an enc

the odor of ants of different colonies,
but of the same species; the third dis
Germs the scent Of the track left by the
ants own feet, and enables it to re-

fifth joints discover the distinctive
odor of the larvae, and if removed dis

make known the presence of an ant OF
different species. Only after these
joints are developed will ants of diff
ferent species fight one another.

STEAM VS.. ELECTRICITY.
Rate Cuts to Meet Competition of
Trolley Found by Railroad Man
ayers to Be Futile.

The steam railroads vary greatly in
their attitude toward electric competi-
ton, but it has been almost the uni
form experience of railroad managers,
east and west, that rate cuts to meet
electric competition are quite futile
says Ray Morris, in Atlantic. Electric
transportation handles traffic in small
units. The power house is the loco
motive, and it can haul ten single cars
rs easily rs it can train of ten cars
coupled together-more easily, in fact.
But in steam service, to reverse the
azure of speech, each transportation
unit must have its own power house.
Disregarding technical refinements, it
may be said that it would cost 4

WHEN A JOKE rs NOT A JOKE.

He heard Joke
A millionaire
Was blandly telling 1t,
And he. with all the others there,
Thought il tie best of wit.
They laughed. they reared, they held their

They vowed: ''ln that joke humor hides
The bes: we ever heard!"
He heard joke

The millionaire had told;
The father of his latest flame
The rare bon mot unrolled
And O, he laughed! His eyes were wet
With jolly ,ears-and then
He said: THAT is the best joke yet!
Please tel! it once again.
He heard a joke
The same once more
This time, it was his boss
Whose face Il merry dimpc wore,
Who gave his head a toss
And told the wtticism through.
And he? He fairly screamed:
~Ha, ha! Such men-ha, HAAS you
Know jokes!'' For SO it seemed
He heard a joke.
The same one-yes.
An after-Linner star
Arose, in fullest evening dress.
With aspect jocular,
And told that joke. What did he do?
He pounded on his plate
And told his neighhor: Now, that's new!
That orator is great"
He heard joke.
The same old joke.
This time his bosom friend
Came chuckling, gave his ribs poke.
And told it TO the end.
Ne gave his friend a look of scorn,
And solemnly he scowled.
"That joke was Old when you were born.
In crushing tones he growled.
