Hunter and Hunted.

A nearsighted sportsman strolled
into a little hotel on the shores OF
Loeb Carron and complainingly said
"Just seen seal, shot at it three
times and missed it each time"
At dinner an hour later he sat next
to a tourist who had a bandage round
his head.
Had an accident?'' asked the sports
man.
"Accidentw growled the other. AT

You cannot multiply or divide money

you repeat shillings as often as there

Tolerance" In Coins.

The mint allows a certain degree of
tolerance in coins. For example, the
gold double eagles standard weight is
SIG grains. and the tolerance" allowed
is half grain. A coin of this denom-
nation may weigh as little as 5151a
grains or as much as 5161a grains, but
never less than the first nor more
than the second figure. The standard
weight of the silver half dollar is 1929
grains, and the tolerance allowed is Id
grains. This coin may weigh as little
as 1914 grains and as much as 1914
grains. but never less than the first
nor more than the second figure. The
standard fineness of all gold and silver
coins is 900. In the gold coins devia-
ton of only one one-thousandth from
this is allowed and in the silver coins
Of only three one-thousandth. The so
called five cent nickel coin is really
only 25 per cent nickel, the rest being
copper. One cent pieces are 50 per
cent copper and per cent tin and
zinc.-Philadelph Record.

Odd Shavinq Habits.

1t Is said that of men who shave
themselves not one in fifty can use the
razor with both hands. and to this
may be added other curious facts
about the shaving habits of the aver.
age man.
There is the president of trust
company in New York who. he tells
his friends. always shaveS himself
standing in corner of the room and
facing the wall He was a poor coun-
try boy and. like most boys, bought a
razor on the sly. There was no mir
ror in his bedroom and rather than
let his people know what he was about
he faced the wall and scraped away
by sense of feeling. Once accustomed
to this method he never needed glass.
There is United States senator.
formerly a farmer. who for many
years shaved himself sitting on a milk
ing stool and looking at his reflection
in a bucket of water. That was what
he did as a boy and man on the farm.
and he says that he couldn't shave
standing up.-New York Tribune.

John Collins, who lives about three
miles east of this city, while moving
hay was the victim of a runaway acct
dent which might have resulted most
disastrously, and which did injure him
about the head somewhat, and in addi-
ton gave him severe shaking up.
The cause of all the trouble was the
unintentional attack by the haying COM
bination on a nest of bees, who so Wig
orously resented the interruption that
they pitched into the team and pro-
duced an immediate stampede, with
the result as above stated.
Fritz Dyer, aged 40, farmer resid-

five miles southwest of this city, was

terrible force against tree in the
farm yard, out of which he was driv-
ing. His arm was broken, one shoulder
and hip dislocated, and he sustained
other severe bruises. While his injur-
les are serious, attending physicians
think they will not result fatally, but
Dyer will be laid up for at least three
months.
