BANlShEO THE BORE.
\ Remedy That Dampened His Ardor
For Sitting.


The head Of bureau in an impor-
tant government department has long
been afflicted with a friend who calls
upon him regularly and sits down and
sits and sits and goes on sitting till
assault and battery becomes a virtue.
The other day this sedentary bore was
In the full exercise of his functions
when suddenly the official, who had
been scrutiniZing him closely, cried: Il
knew it. l was sure of it! Confound
those office boys, with their tricks on
strangers They've been putting glue
on your chair again. HI, Jimmie, bring
q sponge and pail of water! And,
pressing with all his weight on the
shoulders of his victim to keep him
down, he continued: Don't stir; you'd
tear the cloth sure. Nothing is half so
adhesive as glue on cane seat chair.
Here Jimmie, moisten this gentleman
go that we can get him loose. Don't
spare the water; the cloth won't shrink
or fade" The faithful messenger
obeys, and when the operation is con-
cluded the official conducts the visitor
to the door and bids him farewell, with
the remark: Perhaps you want to hur-
ry home and change your clothing, so
won't keep you. c ODDLY. bless you! If
your trousers are spoiled, let me know,
and I'll stop the price of them out of
the pay OF the internal scoundrel If
can find out who he was, and to that
task l will devote all the energies of
my lifetime and the whole machinery
of the government. Goodby! The
ecoundrel. l thought for several days
past that there was something wrong"
His friend goes like the visions Of
youth never to acknowledgements.

COIN SWEATING.
An Illegal Practice Which Has Fallen
Into Disuse.

An Illegal Practice Which Has Fallen
Into Disuse.
Closely allied to the making of coun-
terfelt coins and usually combined
with that nefarious trade is what Is
known as sweating" which requires
considerable skill to accomplish sue

which a &c. a to be sweated is in
PRODUCED anu lt!d with a clip.
Copper wires having been adjusted,
the coin is immersed in q bath Of
cyanide Of potassium and an electric
battery set going. The action of the
electricity upon the coin in the acid
uniformly sweats the metal-that is to
say. causes SO much of 1t to become
detached This process is gone through
with large number OF coins, and the
gold deposit thus obtained is extracted
from the acid.
1t Is for the purpose of detecting the
existence OF such reduced coins that
bankers weigh gold coins in q balance,
and If one Is in the scale 1t will imme-
diately be shown by the indicator. The
light coin is then taken out, and what
ever the shortage represents that
amount the customer will have to
make up or be fined.
But, all things considered, sweating
Is but a poor business, says III. L.
Adam in his interesting book, The
Story OF Crime" and evidently it is
thought SO by the criminal fraternity.
for 1t has dwindled TO a mere nothing

and the limit Of error in the weight is

realty be gathered that sweating can

Coin of the Realm.
During civil war times Gilman Fay,
a local character known by all as GIL,
went to the general store in Fayville,
Mass, kept at that time by Colonel
Dexter Fay, to make his purchases.
The amount was 6S cents, and Fay ten
dered the clerk a dollar bill. Change
being scarce In the store, as was often
the case during those strenuous times,
the clerk passed him some slips of pa
per with figures on them to equal the
amount of change due. Gil looked at
the change and then at the clerk and
slowly said, What's all this?"
"Why, that is what we are giving for
change now. When you get a dol
lars worth we Will redeem them," re-
piled the clerk, and Gil went out
A day or two later Gil went to the
store again for some tobacco. The
clerk passed out the plug, and Gil put
his hand in his pocket and pulled out
a handful of pumpkin seeds and hand
ed them to the clerk, saying:
These are what | am using for
change now. When you get a dollar s
worth l will redeem them"

Hittipo the Pine.

When Jones got home the other night
he found the family in a panic and the
house being flooded from a burst water
pipe. The first thing he did was tc
scold his wife for not having sense
enough to go down to the cellar and
hammer up the supply pipe to prevent
the water from escaping. Then he
went downstairs and was soon heard
hammering vigorously After some
minutes strenuous work. giving one
last mighty blow, he asked, How is il
now?"
There is no difference in the flow OF
the water" his wife calmly replied
but as the light has gone out very
much fear you have hammered up the

URGE PROTECTION
Of WILD ANIMALS
German Society Enters a Pro-
test.

Berlin, May 3O.-The German society
for the protection of wild animals is
to protest against Professor Koch S
proposal that the larger wild animals
in the African colonies be exterminat-
ed, since they harbor the testse fly,
which feeds upon their blood. The
president of the society, the Duke OF
Ratibor, urged. on the contrary, that
the example of the London Geological
society ard of the British society for
empire, be followed and that every
means be taken to preserve from ex-
tinction the wild animals in the Ger
man African colonies.

FARMERS OF WEST
VERY PROSPEROUS

At the Present Time.

Chicago, Ill, May 3O-The note of
prosperity is very marked in the
farm regions of the West, fact which
goes to illustrate how largely the ma
terial welfare of the nation rests up
on agriculture. The newspapers of
the great agricultural states of the
West report that the farmers have
money in hand and read with amaze
ment the story of lingering panic con
ditiOns in the East. We are told that
states which were formerly large Dor
rowers of Eastern money no longer
need such help.

TWO MODERN OPERAS.

Snatches Of Russian folksongs were sung. hummeo
and whst1ed around the lobby and corridors OF the

second act OF Giordano's Siberia" had ended with
the distant strains Of "Ay ouchnem, chanted py
the prisoners bending their slow steps across the
snowy desert into exile. To Giordano at least De-
longs the credit for having ingeniously htted
this curiously vital and arresting old melody OF
the Volga bargemen into his modern Italian score
II Siberia" wins any considerable popularity In
this city will be largely through the picturesque
and atmospheric second act. over which the snadow
of "Ay ouchnem." rests with portentous gravity
The second performance Of the new opera was
witnessed and enjoyed last evening by good sized
audience. whose enthusiasm rose to q high pitch
more than There justification for the
outburst after Act II, only for the musics own
sake but because the chorus especially distin-
gushed itself In It's breadth and mobility of utter
and its correctness OF into1ation, while the
principals also contributed their share Mr. Bassi
was the vassin (though the house bill said Zena-
tello) and he sang with energy and acted with
sincerity. Nine. Agostinelli showed more intensity
in the portrayal of Stephana than she has some
times been credited with possessing, and Mr. Sam
marco and Miss Trentini were again and heard
IN the parts they took at the first performance.
Mr.. Campanin conducted with fervor.
ct the Metropolitan Opera House "Tosca" was
sung again last evening before a large audience.
whpse members yielded the invariable tribute of
rtveted attention to the drama and its musical IN

Mr. Caruso the representative of Mario Cevaradossi
