Sometimes you can offend a man
by paying him compliment, but
when you do, it is generally because
you didn't make the compliment
strong enough.
The Chicago mother of fifteen
children says she is the happiest
women in the world, and to show
that she is not selfish she wishes
that every woman could have as
many.
The statement of Chicago
scientist that water is Intoxicating is
a handsome vindiction for those
Kentucky colonies who have all
along been refusing to drink it as a
chaser.
AS one among the many incon-
sistencies of the voteless sex may
be mentioned the fact that every
women will shrek at mouse yet
wear rat in her hair.

TREASURE TRovE IN INDIA.
Thousands of Ancient Coins Found
in a village of Bombay.

Thousands of Ancient Coins Found
in a village of Bombay.
The small village Of JOgaltembhi, in
the Bombay district, Is likely to earn
transient fame among numismatics and
archaeologists by reason of the acct
dental discovery within its limits Of q
great hoard Of very ancient coins The
place Of concealment Of the coins was
found by children while at play. Exca-
walton disclosed an earthen pot firmly
embedded in the hillside and filed to
overfowing with silver coins, much Of
which the villagers proceeded In the
true commercial spirit to melt down.
But the story Of the find spread further
than the limits Of Jogaltembhl and
within a short time the balance Of the
treasure, about 10000 coins, had right
" found a resting place in the local
treasury under the treasure troYe act
The coins are all silver, Of approx
mately the same size and type. On the
diverse appears the head Of the king
who struck them-a fine face, despitl
the defects Of the die, marked by a
broad eye, a splendid aquiline nose and
a firm chin, with just a suspicion Of
thickness about the lips. Around the
head runs a legend in debased Greek
characters, which Professor Rapson,
but lately appointed to the vacant chair
Of Sanskrit at Cambridge, and the late
Pandlt Bhagwanlal Indrajl declare to
~, ~ Il,
gend on the reverse of the coin.
The coins are those of Nahapana, the
founder Of the dynasty Of the western
Kshatrapas, which ruled over a CON
siderable portion Of western India from
A. D. 119 to A. d. 898. Although sew
eral specimens of the coins struck by
Nahapana's successors (for example,

As a matter of fact, she actually push
ed her way through the opposite side Of
the tent from which she had entered
and then becoming entangled in the
tent ropes allowed herself to be quieted.
LOvejoy, having dismounted. and the
focus of several hundred fun-lOving
eyes, assisted his companion to alight
The girl had not spoken since the first
on-rush of the mare, but had tightly
grasped the side and back of the seat,
holding on with all her strength. Now,
knowing all danger past, she exploded.
Benton Lovejoy," she cried, the pale
ness of her cheeks giving away to a
bloOd-red rush of anger, aren't you
ashamed Of yourself? See what you've
done" pointing to her mud-bespangled
dress. You're an ignorant, incompe-
tent blunderer!" and tossing her head
haughtily, she walked away, leaving
the chagrined escort to extricate the
horse and buggy from the ropes.
Leading the mare to a nearby fence,
Lovejoy rubbed her down, while the on
lockers glbed him numerically.
The words of the girl had cut him
to the quick. You're an ignorant, in
competent blunderer." How this rang
in his ears! Only that very morning
he had boosted to himself of his horse
manship.
1T was not my fault" he reasoned,
sullenly. mo man living could have
done more than l."
II say, Lovejoy, why don't you enter

and be conveyed up six stories on great
elevators to be loaded or unloaded.
The lower stories will also be equipped
with power for manufacturing plants.
The upper ten stories will be used for
Offices on the water front end, with a
great hotel on the other. Space will be
reserved in the structure for a union
railway and marine depot for passen-
gers The structure vii cost S6,000,000
A corporation has been organized to
build it and to tunnel the city for the
purpose Of transferring the passenger
and freight business on all railroads to
the big building. The construction will
be steel and brick and the structure
will be called the Imperial Building. It
is in the heart Of the city, one block
from the City Hall and in no other
place in the world could such a COM
bination for marine and freight ter
minals, together with retail and whole
sale business locations, be found.

He saw the Game.

The Office boy had buried countless
grandmothers, brothers, sisters, aunts
and cousins, but he felt an enthusiasm
for the baseball game that day which
would not be downed.
Suddenly an idea struck him. APP
preaching the easy boss with an air of
familiarity which had been nurtured
by long usage he asked:
MAY leave at noon to-day, sir"
"And why, my bOy?"
There is a fancy fair at our church
and mother wants me to 60 this after
noon. She was so anxious that she
bought me ticket which cost a dollar,
as she was sure you would allow me
the few hours off. I have to assist at
the refreshment stall, and it seems a
pity to waste
But surely you are above such
things as that which take you away
from your work. Why not give the
ticket to one Of your sistersT
well, you see, sir, that wouldn't be
fair, for I'm the only one Of our fam
lily who can be depended upon to eat
a dollars worth, and"

But, I say, young fellow, who's the

"She's owned over Groton way" re
piled LOVejoy, evasively.

When beyond the hearing OF the

1t took q half hours argument before
LovejOy consented to enter the mare.
He did so more because he wished a
sharp diversion from the humilaiting
escapade Of the morning, than with the
thought Of carrying of the purse. He
also remembered the deacon had told
him TO sell the mare. How better could
he advertise her than By showing her
speed on the track7
Furthermore, he knew the girl would
witness the race. What a triumph, Il
by rare good luck, he should win; how
would she then regard him?

And kindly eyes, and lips grown softly sweet
With murmured blessings over sleeping babes.
There is something In their quiet grace
That speaks the calm Of Sabbath afternoons
A knowledge iii their deep unfalterng eyes
That far Outreaches all philosophy.
Time with caressing touch about them weaves
The siver-threaded fairy shawl of age,
While all the echoes of forgotten songs
Seem Joined to lend sweetness to their speech.

Their trembling hands cling gently to youths strength
