Ostrlch TelephonlnQ.

When the eggs on the ostrich farms
in California are on the point Of hatch
ing, curious tapping Of the shell may
be heard. This the Keepers call ''tele-
phoning." The sound is caused by
the chicks inside the eggs endeavoring
to break out. Those which cannot
easily emerge are assisted by the
mother bird. which will sometimes
break an egg from which the telephon-
ing is heard by pecklng it carefully.
and will then aid the chick to get out.
At the Pasadena farm the sight of
q boy riding an ostrich as he would .

FIRST UNITED STATES COINS
"Fuoios," Made Of Copper, Were the
Earliest Issued BY Direct Az.
thority Of Congress.

The "fugios" were the earliest coins
issued by the authority Of the United
States, and were of copper. 1t was in
April, 1887, that the congress OF the
United States authorized the board OF
treasury to contract for 800 tons OF
copper coin Of the federal standard
"agreeably to the proposition Of Mr..
James Jarvis, provided that the premi-
UNI to be allowed to the United States
on the account of the copper contracted
for be not less than L. per cent" and
that "it be coined at the expense Of
the contractor, but under the inspec.
ton Of an officer appointed and paid
by the United States
It is presumed that this copper coin
contract was made as directed for on
Friday, July 6. 1857, the congress
adopted this resolution: THAT the
board Of treasury direct the contractor
for the copper coinage to stamp on
one side Of each piece the following
device, viz: Thirteen circles linked
together and small circle in the mid
die with the words United States
around 1t, and In the center the words,
we are one On the other side OF
the same piece the following device.
viz. n A dial with the hours expressed
on the face Of It, meridian sun above,

THE HELPING HAND

People with synipat hetic hearts must
be deeply impressed by the tales OF SUI
fering coming over from Europe. The
condition of orphan children in most OF
the warning countries is the most terri
bic feature Of the situation. It is esti-
mated than 10000 900 such little ones
are without homes or proper care.
In many districts such children are
running entirely wild. Through the
summer they would wander around the
woods and fields and pick UP something
to eat. But God knows what they can
do through the winter. In some OF the
Baltic countries there are said as re-
suit of such exposure to be practically
no children between the ages of one
and four.
The American Red Cross has done a
noble work for these unfortunates
probably more than any other one
agency. The first step toward further
help is for everyone to take out his
membership in this splendid organiza,
ton during the roll call period Of this

Autograph Hunters Coup.

Autograph hunting sometimes
proves a most profitable pursuit. Lud-
ovic Picard, a French Bohemian OF
the '5Os, made a steady income out "
Il for several years.
One OF his most successful coups
was accomplished with a letter in
which he posed as "a member OF the
unhappy race Of the unappreciated
who is meditating suicide and seeks
Tor counsel and aid in this hour Of
sore distress"
This, drew a number of celebrities,
including Beranger and Heine. Lacor-
daire sent him ten closely written
pages, which were promptly converted
into cash.
Dickens also fell victim Of. his
wiles and took the trouble to answer
him in French. Eventually Picard was
shown up in the press by Jules San
deau and had to seek another occupa-
tion.
