The Shetland pony trade has some

bygone days crofter could count up
on getting from a6 to Es for a horse
foal, but now these animals are prac-

The Shetland pony is celebrated In
every country. aud is much superior
In symmetry OF form, fieetness and sa-
gacity to the same class Of animals In
Norway. the Farce islands and Ice
land. Ponies coming from the islands
OF INST and Fetlar are considered
the finest and usually bring the high
est prices. Those of the latter island
are a cross between the genuine
"sheltie' and the Arabian horse. They
are beautiful little animals, but wild
and difficult to train--Wnrlds Work.

Erench Eorest.Makina.

A striking example of scientific for
estry is furnished by the coast of
France, chiefly in Gascony, where in
1898 tree-planting was begun in an at
tempt to fix the sand dunes, which the
winds were steadily pushing inland
over the vineyards. Pine forests have
now covered 275.00O of the 100000
acres of dunes. About 100000 has
been spent on the work, with 100000
more for forest administration, but
the state has received 100000 more
than the cost, while the $4,000 acres
still retained have a value of 100000.
600. Farther inland, about 100000
acres of worthless shifting sands and
marshes, in the triangular area of the
Landes, have been converted into
profitable pine forests since the mid
die of last century. This work, most
" done by the communes, has created
a property worth $1OO,OOOOOO, as val
ued from the present yield of pine
timber and resin.

NICETIEs OF LEGAL TENDER
Somewhat Perplexing Question Which
Very Few Seem to Properly
Understand.

One of the prominent officials of the
treasury department recently ven
tured the opinion that not one banker
in hundred and probably not half
a dozen members of the senate or
house could tell accurately what parts
of the United States currency are le-
gal tender He went on to say.
"A great many people know that
the definition of legal tender is money
of a character which by law a debtor
may require his creditor to receive in
payment in the absence of a special
agreement But when it comes to
stating just what money is legal ten
der you will find the banker all at sea.
Gold certificates are not a legal
tendeT but are receivable for customs,
taxes and all public debts. Silver GER
tifcates are not legal tender. Neither
are national bank notes. They are re-
ceivable, however, in payment of
taxes, excuses, public lands and all
other dues to the United States, ex-
cept duties on imports. Trade dollars
and fractional currency are not legal
tender. Fractional currency is re-
receivable for postage and revenue
stamps and also in payment of any
dues to the United States less than
five dollars, except duties on imports
Foreign gold and silver coins are not
legal tender.
THE following are legal tender in
all that the term means:
Gold coins of the United States
standard silver dollars, subsidiary sill
yer coins, minor coin of copper,
bronze or copper-nickel UP to %
cents; United States notes or green
backs, demand treasury notes, treas
ury notes of 1890. Columbian half
dollar and Columbian quarters. Sub
sidiary silver coin, including Column
bian half dollars and quarters, are
legal tender up to $40"

The children glanced uneasily from

But she called none by name. and after

for a while. she said:

"Who in the world interrupted the
little girl visitor, lis Mr.. Wizzle Wuzzle,

Aunt Matilda, instead OF Immediately
answering the child's inquiry, leaned
away back in her great kitchen chair,
crossed her hands on her lap, and then.
over her spectacles. looked at the child
long and searchingly, then at the other
children, and then again at the little
visitor. For some reason OF other the
children of the household had never asked
such a question. They had, of course,
heard the old woman mention Mr.. Wiz
zle Wuzzle many, many times, but they
had come to the firm belief that he was
a very wise, and a very. very old negro
man. who lived all to himself, in most
mysterious house. away off somewhere
in the woods, though just where they
did not know. They had come to the be-
lief, too. that Mr.. While Wuzzle knew
all the animals. all the birds, all the
fishes, all the snakes and frogs and all
the bugs. Indeed. everything that ran
or walled or crawled or flew or swan.
and that he knew their language
and could talk with all of them. But
the little girl visit had never before
heard Mr.. WiZZle WuZZle mentioned.
Hence. her inquiry vas most natural
one, though it seemed SO odd to the other
children.

stomach gnawed, and he went to the
pantry, walking on tiptoe so that the cook
might not hear him. On top shelf
Little Jack could see many small jars and
glasses of jam and jelly. Also there
were big-mouthed bottles full of pickles
and many other fancy edibles Little
Jacks palate knew and loved.
Then the Finger family became rest
less and ached to get hold Of one of the
glasses of jelly and a bottle OF pickles.
So. Little Jack, in obedience to the Fin
ger family (Which was no doubt inf1u-
enced by the greedy stomach, climbed
then got upon the breadbox, which lifted
him still higher. and found that he could
just touch the row of jars and glasses
with one member of the Finger family.
1t was Mistress Fore Finger. who could
reach and caress glass of jelly, and
after many moments of straining to
lengthen his arm Mistress Fore Finger
succeeded in passing her slender little
drawing it forward. And when the glass
was just at the edge of the shelf Mistress
Fore Finger gave it a pull, and down 1t
came, passing Little Jacks head like
flash of lightning. hitting him on the
shoulder and bobbing off to fall smash on
the floor.
"Oh, it broker moaned poor Little
Jack But 1 can find enough of it in a
lump to spread on some bread. And here's
the breadbox under me. I'll help myself
10 a slice.
So saying. Little Jack got off the bread
box so that he might get into it, and
there he found two big slices already
cut. Pretty soon these slices of bread,
were spread with jely-all that Little
Jack could gather up without getting
with it broken bits of glass, for he was
very particular to avoid any particles of
glass. knowing that should be swallow
one he might die of il. His mamma had
told him Of the dangers of broken bits
of glass.
After the bread and jelly were eaten
Little Jack found that he had gotten his
nice new suit all Smeared with jelly. and
that one of the members of the Finger
family was bleeding where it had been
cut by the broken glass.
Just as he was wondering what to do
about the muss on the floor and on his
clothes the front door opened and some
one entered. Then Little Jacks mother
called out: Where are you, sonny?'
Little Jack did not answer at once, for
he felt that he had been into mischief
and shame caused him to wish to put off
meeting his mother as long as possible
so he did not call out, but waited for his
mother to enter the dining room, which
she did pretty soon, calling to cook
Where is my little man, cook?'
Then Little Jack was obliged to coma
from the pantry, and with his head hang
ing said: I'm here. mamma But-but
the Finger family"
He could say nothing more. and waited
till mamma took in the situation She
did SO at glance. Then she took Il
peep at the pantry floor And what
else did the Finger family do?'' she asked
in a very stern voice.
