A Real Luther Coin.

The collection of coins of a ST.
Petersburg scholar, says the Berliner
Tageblatt, was recently oyerhauled
and q unique Luther coin was discov-
cred. 1t came originally from Nov
gorod, where it was found in an old
house which was being reconstructed.
On one side is the head of Luther,
which is also shown when the coin is
reversed, but with a fools cap upon
his head. On the reverse side there is
d likeness of the pope, which also APP
pears when the coin is reversed, but
the head is ornamented on the reverse
side with devil horns. The Latin in
scription explains that Luther be-
comes a fool and the pope a devil
by reversing the piece. 1t is believed
that there is no similar coin in exist
ence.

LOST SOUTH SEAS CONTINENT.
Australian Professor Seeks Solution Of
Ancient Mystery

The lost continent of the South
seas is pet study of DR.. WoOInough
II Sydney university. The main diff
Guilty in the way of reconciling exist
ing conditions with an original great
area was that depths of 1000 fathoms
occurred between the islands. 1t was
necessary to look for land evidence Of
fauiting or breaking to account for
he submarine derths. The granite
area in VIII Leva was found to be
from 400 to 600 square miles in ex-
tent, underlying the modern volcanic
rocks. A range of granite mountains
with pFecipitous cliffs On each side
gave evidence of heavy faults Great
ing chasms of great depth. He found
the rivers forming marked rectangu-
lar network, an appraised coral reef
200 feet above the sea level, conglom-
crate rock showing sea shells at a
height OF 500 feet above the sea, and
certain tits and tufts which had
formerly been submarine and were
now at height of 4,5O0 feet. All
these indicated a tremendous upIift
sufficient to cause greater faulting in
the original continent. The rivers Of
Fiji were of comparatively youthful
development, and even at present
passing through the canon cycle

COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT.
The Element of Permanently Is an
Important One.

The Element of Permanently Is an
Important One.
In a community where all or near
ly all are house owners civic improve
ment is never a very serious prob
lem, but in every center of popula-
ton, no matter of what size, there are
more or less Of renters, and these have
a deterrent effect upon progress in all
its phases, says the Los Angeles
Times. Permanently Of residence is the
only solid rock upon which desirable
public improvements may be built
and a group of freehold cOttagers will
do more good work toward civic up.
building than like number of wealthy
tenants. Those who have no fixed
abiding place add little to community
life or wealth.
Next to permanency of abode comes
the standard of citizenship, and the
two are so interviewer that it is often
difficult 10 determine which is the
more important factor, for each is de
pendent on the other. Another insepa
rable and necessary partnership Is
found in high intelligence and lofty
ideals as the standard of citizenship
1t is necessary to secure jealous co
operation Of all if the highest and best
is to be attained. Efficient, honest cit
liens, free from partisan leanings and
knowing neither religious nor racial diff
ferences, are the broad minded type
that must be chosen for public work Il
we are to be safeguarded against mis-
management and partiality.

Horn LONG fn,6edded in Tree.

A rams horn that was imbedded in
a tree 1S3 years ago is curiosity that
Janson Elder, forester ranger living
at Paisley, Ore, has discovered. While
rambling In the woods in 1888 Elder
came across a yellow pine tree IN the
base of which was imbedde1 the horn
of a mountain sheep. He did not then
have time to make thorough inyesti-
cation, but since he became a forest
ranger he had occasion to go to cut
down the tree. He took a section Of
the trunk containing the horn to Lake
view The horn was a little to one
side. the center of the tree. 1t was
not curled as are the horns of noun
tain sheep nowadays, but was almost
straight Counting the rings of growth,
the tree was shown to be 213 years
old. Outside of the horn were 1873
rings, indicating the number of years
that had elapsed since the mountain
sheep was caught and held fast by the
yellow pine. The horn was soaked

One Venture In Which the Captain
Overreached Himself.

One Venture In Which the Captain
Overreached Himself
One of Uncle sam customs officials
noted for his success in uumasklna
smugglers, said the other day in dis
cussion of customs officers duties:
lone must be shrewd, but not toe
shrewd; otherwise one overreaches
oneself, like Captain Harrow of Isles
borough.
Captain Harrow of Islesborough
was trading at Key West in a small
vessel. Business took him up the coast
to Tampa bay, and he bought twenty
dozen chickens from u farmer at 81 a
dozen.
1.-The chickens were all sizes-some n
few days old and no bigger than ca.
nary birds; some fat and large. like
turkey gobblers. The captain expect.
ed to make lot Of money out of
them. He was very shrewd at trade
"Well, at Key West hotel man
came aboard and looked the chickens
over.
"'They are fine BIRDS he said. How
much"
"Tf you pick them out yourself.
said Captain Harrow shrewdly, III
have to charge you $6 a dozen. II !
pick them out, can let you have them
for 49,
"'All right You pick them OUT said
the hotel man.
/ captain Harrow picked out dozen
chickens Of the canary bird size.
"'Here you are, twelve prime broil.
ers,' he said, with leer.
go ahead said the hotel man calm
ly; another Dozen
1.-THE next dozen was Of necessity
larger.
"'Go on said the hotel man. Keep
ON picking them out
"And the third dozen was larger still.
The captain looked at his patron anx-
iously.
"'Keep right on
1.-THE next dozen was fine and plump,
and the next comprised the biggest
and latest Of the chickens.
"'Keep right on picking them out,
captain
''Then at last Captain Harrow saw
how he had overreached himself. The
hotel man bought his whole lot of
chickens at So, and thus the captain
lost on the speculation 500 in cash, to
say nothing Of feed and labor."-Cin

CHURCH TIME.
Quaint Ways Of the Early Dutch Set
tiers In the New World.

AS early as 1863 the Dutch settlers
at Kingston, n. u, erected with their
own hands little church building and
dedicated it the following year. When
a regular minister arrived from Hol-
land the same year, writes Mrs. Nellie
Urner Wellington in Historic Churches
of America" he found himself DOM
inie with a membership of but six
teen souls and salary paid in wheat,
which was then legal tender among
these humble tillers Of the soil.
In 1904 a bell was imported and gave
such pleasure to the members Of the
little parish that they used 1t to an
nounce the hours for meals for the
farmers Of the neighborhood.
The observance Of one quaint GUS
tom was reminiscent of their former
life In Holland-the announcement by
the gray haired sexton between the
ringing of the first and last church
bells that the hour for service had ar
rived.
From door to door he Travelled, rap
ped loudly and cried, Church time"
Notices of all kinds, whether Of fu-
nerals, christenings, weddings or mer-
rymakings, were handed first to the
sexton, who in turn gave them to the
clerk, who st!,ck them ON the end OF
the bamboo ?ole which he kept for
that purpose and reached them up to
the dominic.
At the termination Of the service, as
in other Dutch churches, the deacons
took up the collection with long poles
having little velvet bags hung on the
ends and tinkling bell to wake the
sleepers to the responsibilities Of n
contribution.

ting at the time in one of the pews Of
this church-''the clearing house for
sorrows" rs they call it in Boston.
The rector Rev. DR.. Elwood Worces-

tanned from DR.. Mitchell many of the

Mitchell Is eminent as a physician
and especially as neurologist.
Though an authority on how to treat
other peoples nervous troubles. his
own nerves once got the best of him.
He was in Austria at the time, and he
consulted the most eminent nerve spe-
cialist In Vienna. The foreign physi-
clan noted that he was an American
and asked from what city he came.
Learning that DR.. Mitchell lived in
Philadelphia, he exclaimed, you
