In the museum at Athens is shown
what is probably the only genuine
antique die used for coinage that is
now extant 1t was found in Egypt in
1904 and consists of bronze, engraved
with the owl that was stamped on
Athenian tetradrachma pieces, which
contained about as much silver as
three quarter dollars. The die is of
scientific interest on account of the
evidence 1t gives of the skill of the
ancients three or four hundred years
before Christ in metallurgy. 1t con-
tains about 2215 per cent of tin and
nearly 10 per cent Of copper. 1t is
extremely hard, but at the same time
possesses a certain malleability, due to
the great purity of the copper and
tin, which were carefully freed from
all traces Of lead and zinc to preserve
the hardness and from arsenic and
anthony to avoid brittleness.-Har-

HOW TO TELL WoMAN's AGE.

This Plan Will Trap Her Unless She 10
Suspicious.
Every man seems to be born with
desire to know the age of ladies with
whom he comes In contact Women
also appear to have an innate curiosity
concerning the number of summers"
which have passed over the heads of
their female friends But there is
nothing more difficult to discover than
the exact age Of woman who wishes
to keep the fact secret.
Now, here is a little scheme which a
mathematician has just discovered to
find out the age of any person.
Having engaged that person in pleas
ant conversation, you proceed some
thing after the following manner,
speaking very innocently, of course:
There is a very simple problem in
arithmetic which very few people are
able to see through, yet it is as easy
as possible. wonder If you can do
it."
This sets the woman on her dignity,
and she wants to do it at once.

to the numerical order Of the month

suit by separating the figures 230 in
2 February and 30. And you can do
this with everybody's age. Try it on

Musk In the raw looks a good deal
like axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk Of COM
merce is obtained from the muskrat
is a mistake. There is obtained a
somewhat similar perfume from the
muskrat, but most of the supply
comes from the musk deer, a crea-
ture that is carefully reared in India
for the sake of the secretion. The
secretion is shipped in the crude state
and is used not only in the manufac-
ture of the liquid perfume sold as
musk, but also in very small quaint
ties to give strength and staying pow
er to many perfumes made from the
essential oils of flowers. Curiously
enough, the blossoms of two native
plants have noticeably musky odor.
One is the small yellow blossom Of a
creeping vine known as the musk
plant. Its odor is marked and Is coun-
terfeited In the commercial perfume
called musk. The other is the blood
root The pure white blossom of that
early spring plant has a distinct
though delicate musky odor. A bean
known as the musk bean is a cheap
substitute for animal musk.

Fine LANGUAGE.

In the school year of 1867, in the
town of Topsfeld, Mass, there was
at least one committeeman whose COM
mand of language was unusual. This
is shown by the annual report Of the
school committee for that season, part
of which is copied here:
"The primary center school was in

guidance Of this master hand in gen.

presented the same phase of unvarying
successful advancement as In former
years, from the dissonant mouthings

Wild Carnage When They Meet Their
Natural Prey. Flying Fish.
One time at St. Clements we sighted
. feeding school Of tuna, an exhiiarat-
ing sight A flying fish Weighing a
pound and a half or more would start
from the water and soar an extraor-
binary distance, nearly out Of sight,
but every inch of that flight knew

his place Just beneath the "fiier" and
ready to seize it the moment 1t fell
into the water. This rarely failed
The moment the fish began to drop the
tuna would spring at 1t like tiger,
turning and tossing the spume into
the air with a splendid and electrify-
ing rush, maneuver that was re-
peated all over the blue channel.
The sensational charge meant that

had them gather about my boat and
cling to its keel as closely as they

Names In Samoa.

Travellers visiting Samoa are puz-
zied at first by the fact that many boys
bear feminine names, while girls as
frequently have masculine names. The
visitor learns after awhile, however.
that this confusing use Of names in
stead Of being due to ignorance is in
reality the result of a native custom
which is highly poetic. Thus If girl
Is born soon after the death Of q
brother the latter's name is given to
her in the belief that his spirit and
all his good qualities have been trans
ferred to her. On the other hand. If
a boy is born after the death Of a sis
ter he takes the latter's name and. as
the Samoans believe. all her lovable
traits become his.-London Globe.
