LOYAL scoTcH TERRIER.

The loyalest Of dogs was probably
the little Scotch terrier to which
Edinburgh SOME years ago erected a
statue. For over eight years Grey
friars Bobby, as he came to be called,
slept nightly on his masters grave
in Greyfriars. He spent an hour or
two day in the curator's house, but
night always found him again on the
grave, however cold or stormy the
weather. Locked doors failed to
keep him in. There was always the
window. And it was not till eight
years had passed that Edinburgh
learned of him, and then it was over
the prosaic question Of finding the
man who ought to pay the dog IL
cense. That tiny statue on the
street corner outside the graveyard is
worth looking at even to the man
who does not know the storv.-I4on-
don Chronicle. 80

COINAGE IN FORMER TIMES
Gold Money Was First Minted by the
Is Lydians and Silver on the
Island of Egina.

Earliest history refers Familiarity
to the use of gold and silver as a
purchasing medium, but the metals
were exchanged in the form of bars
or dust for, many centuries. Even
today the. Chinese prefer their gold
and silver in bullion form. In the
great African desert sale is for so
many ounces Of gold dust. The
credit Of making the first gold coins
is given to the I4ydians by Herodo-
tus, and the first silver coins are sup
posed to have been minted on the
Island Of Egina $50 B. G. There
are to be found in the various large
museums Of the world coins Of Per-
STA issued $50 B. G. The earliest
coins known in Palestine were called
Daric, or kings money from Dari-
us), and were coined 40 B. G. In
the year 139 B. G. Antiochus VII.
granted the privilege Of coming
money among the Jews to Simon
Maccabcus, and the various pieces
are dated ''in the first Tor second)
year Of Simon, benefactor of the
Jews, high priest" The earliest
biblical mention Of wealth is that of
Abraham, when he left Egypt to re-
turn to Canaan, and the 1000 pieces
of silver that Abimelech gave to
Abraham for Sarah's use. Abraham
bought the cave Of Machpelah and
weighed to Ephron 400 shekels of
silver. Achan stole wedge of gold
weighing so shekels.

Tins either found OF sought death by
hanging; next came shooting, drown
ing, poison and throwing themselves
out Of windows The oldest victim

WEAKNESS of life. In one-fourth of
the cases the motive was unknown.

TEMPERATURE ONCE UNIFORM
Early Condition Of the Globe That Ac-
counts for Deposits Of Coal Near
South Pole.

As general statement, it may be
said that the suns rays heat the
earth and that the earth heats fhe
air, but the extent to which this goes
will depend much on the clearness of
the atmosphere. The clearer this is
the more the rays of the sun will
pass through it without losing their
heat. Obviously, the cloudier or
thicker the air the more the sun rays
will be absorbed. 80.
Conversely, on the brightest nights
the earth will lose the most heat
from radiation, and, becoming cold
er than the atmosphere, moisture
from this will be deposited in the
form of dew.
In the younger days of the earth,
when the seas were boiling hot, and
perhaps for millions Of years after
ward while they were gradually
growing cooler, there must have been
an atmosphere so surcharged with
steam as to prevent completely the
passage inward Of any heat rays, or
outward radiation. As a necessary
consequence of these conditions there
is supposed to have been one uni
formly hot temperature all over the
earth, there being no difference be-
tween what are now the tropics and
the arctic regions.
When the temperature had fallen
sufficiently to allow the development
of the gigantic ferns that were to
form our coal deposits, things grew
as luxuriously in what we now call
the temperate and arctic zones as at
the equator. Consequently, there
was nothing very surprising at the
discovery Of a vast deposit Of coal
by Lieutenant Shackleton not far
distant from the south pole.

NEW HARBoR FOR CHINA.

The proposed construction Of. a
new harbor at Wing Kou, near New

Manchuria, will have marked effect
on all Chinese coast trade. The pro-
posed harbor is said to be deep and
free from ice troubles in winter, al
lowing trade with Hongkong and the

winter, to continue all the year.
Plans for the new port are. said to

Princeton, N. j., Mar. 14,-Friends
and admirers of the late Grover Cleye-
land, ex-president of the United
States, have arranged for an elaborate
eommemoration of the anniversary of
his 18th birthday, which occurs March
IS. New Jersey democrats and repub-
licans as well as men OF other states
of the two political faiths have joined
in the movement to honor the memory
the days before the civil war. Two
monuments to the memory of the
twenty-second president of the United
States are in contemplation. One of
them is to be erected in Princeton, N.
j., the other in Chicago. The move
ment to erect a memorial to Mr.. Cleve-
land in Princeton, town closely identi-
fed with his later life and the site of
university in which he took great
interest, was LAUGHED recently and rode
well on the waters of public interest.
One hundred thousand dollars was the
sum asked by the projectors of the
monument, among whom were includ-
ed some of Mr.. Cleveland's closest
friends. They experieced little diff
Guilty in raising money, and their plans
will be embodied in beautiful mem
orial tower estimated to cost the sum
named. It is to be erected among the
Princeton buildings and will be a con-
spicuous object on the university
grounds. The tower is to be forty
feet square and will rise over 100 feet.
The type of architecture is pure per-
pendicular Gothic, and the material
will be gray stone. Although Grover
Cleveland was born in New Jersey Cat

Fields Phenomenal Tenor.

Minstrels, is find of Mr.. Fields This

as yodler has grown until his appear.
ance with the Field Minstrels is al
most demanded by the managers.
Heinhart is native of Louisville,
Ky. Mr. Field heard his sing when he
was there with his company four years
ago. Mr.. Field was the guest at a
little dinner, at which Henry Waiter
son, Managed McCauley, of the thea
ter, and number of other prominent
Louisvillians were present.
Reinhart, at that time was employ
ed in an office in Louisville. That
same night he was at the hotel with a
party of friends and as is usual where
ever he goes, he was asked to sing
The clear sweet tones of his voice
penetrated to the little room where the
private dinner was being given.
AS the sound came to him Mr. Field
laid down his fork and listened. Then
Reinhart sang sleep, Baby, Sleep"
with a guitar accompaniment. AS the
song ceased, Mr.. Field dashed from
the room. He returned in a few mo-
ments leading Heinhart by the arm.
The party forced the singer to join
them, and later listened to his singing
again and again.
When the dinner and entertainment
was finished, Mr.. Field made Rein
hart a proposition. Reinhart refused
as he could not leave his Office with
out due notice The next day the show
left Louisville, but Mr.. Field was not
with it. He had remained to see Rein
hart's employers
When Mr.. Field arrived back on the
show he brought the singer with him.,
and there he has been ever since. He
is regarded as the greatest minstrel
tenor that has ever sung with an Amer
lean production.

Spokane Wash, Mar. 14-C0rres.
pondents in Spokane, Seattle and
Olympia, Wash, who flooded the news-
papers in the middIewestern, eastern
and southern states with telegraphic
dispatches on February q and 27 and
March !, that bubonic plague had
caused the death of three members OF
the family and that seven other per
sons are in critical condition from the
same malady, will be arrested as soon
as located and charged with spreading
false statements 4.s

ever to any manager, editor publisher,
reporter or other employe of publish
er of any newspaper, magazine, publ
cation, periodical or serial, any state
ment concerning any person or cor
poration, which if published therein,
would be libel, shall be guilty Of
misdemeanor.
The counci lof Spokane has directed
F. B. Morrill,, corporation counsel to
make thorough investigation of the
source of the misleading dispatches,
and the Spokane chamber of commerce
has retained Frederick w. Dewart Of
Spokane, to assist in prosecuting the
offenders. It is declared the Scare"

$50 far there has been no intima-
tion of proceeding against the news
papers that published the dispatches"
said r. j. Maclean. secretary of the
Spokane chamber of commerce. but
it is likely they will be requested to
give space to a statement showing the
true condition of public health in spD-
kane, as there have been no cases Of
bubonic, typhoid or typhus fever in
this city. The three deaths in the
Oliver family were caused by severe
influenza and pneumonia, which facts
were known at the time the dispatches
were sent to the newspapers Of the
