One of the coins of the Chinese Em

different from the other cash issued un

one of the characters that indicate the

"Lo-han cash," the word Lo-han being

the name applied to the eighteen at
tendants of Jiuddha, who are frequently
seen ranged along the two sides of the
principal halls in lluddhist temples.
The tradition is that while the em

European missionaries he became
iir.bued with a feeling of contempt for
Htiddhisin, and illustrated this phase of
his faith by having a set of eighteen
Irnss Lo-han images melted down and
cast into cash. This brass is said to
contain considerable portion of gold,
hence the demand for the cash.

The sanctity of a jury room appears
to be so well guarded that even in case
of sudden sickness a physician may not
enter except after due process of law.
hi the Eoss will case, tried recently in
Boston, the jury were deliberating,
when late one evening one of them was
suddenly attacked with what proved to
be a stroke of apoplexy. The ollicer in
charge notified the deputy sheriff, who
not having authority to let any ono in
to the jury room, drove across tho city
and informed the sheriff, but even this
oflicial was not high enough to act, and
another expedition started in search of
the judge. As the latter happened to
be -at home, the requisite order was ob

Tht) rush of tourists to Florida in
creases every winter, and so much
shooting, every man nearly takes his
gun, is rapidly diminishing the game
all through the country.
The time was, and only a few years
ago, when every bay and lagoon was
teeming with birds, but when the
fashion demanded that every woman's
bonnet should be decorated with some
kind of a bird or its feathers, men were
sent to Flordia to procure them
and one expedition returned it is said,
with 100,000 bird-skins, shot during the
winter. Such destruction is now felt
and althoug the authorities have now
prohipited the slaughter, it is like
locking the stable after the horse is
stolen.
On the Apalachicola river wild tur
keys and ducks are shot wantonly
from the decks of the steamboats and
alligators all along the banks come in
for a fusilade from the titles of the
passengers. On my recent trip on
this river I saw numbers of turkeys
shot as they were running along the
banks, that were of course wasted as
the boat could not stop to pick them
up; and every flock of the ducks that
rose was fired into killing or maiming
wore or less 01 mem.
Sot only on by the ground of wanton
cruelty should the owners of these
boats prohibit the use of fire-arms but
it is a great annoyance to many pas
sengers to have rifles and shotguns
banging away around them, to say
nothing of the danger to life from the
careless use of guns by mere boys, as
some of them were.
It is a theme the Forest and Streams
migb .properly bring to the notice of
the proper authorities (the owners of
the steamers) in the cause and enter a
protest against such wanton destruction
of such rare game as the turkey, as well
as every other bird coming in for
slaughter, as is now the tase on the
river boats on the Southern rivers.

It ic ll Men and lc Water.
Tha question of purity of drinking
water has invaded the business office.
Rich men who are vexed by slight
physical ailments or who are the victims
of nervous troubles find it the easiest
thing imaginable to believe that there
is danger in the water cooler. Many
of them have their Croton boiled and
chilled by refrigeration before they will
drink it. Others have in their private
oflices jars of mild mineral waters, from
which they quench their thirst.
Cliauncey M. Dejiew is one of the latter
kind. He does not believe in drinking
ice water, and is very particular about
having the water that he drinks per

my mother sat by her beds in that low

told stories, some of w hich were of her
childhood, while others were conjured
up in her own head.
Some of the sweetest hymns and
sacred stories I learned then, and there
ever comes to me when 1 close my eyes
a faint picture of my devoted mother

only reason that the darkness had no

How long coffee was in use among
eastern nations before being introduced
'nto Europe is not known. Aljeziri Al
hambali, a noted Arabic author, states
that it was lirst made known about 870
of the Hegira, and so quickly did cof
fee houses and booths multiply through
out Arabia that the government several
times made strenuous attempts to sup
press them, fearing they would lead
the people into idleness.
Notwithstanding these efforts, the
"coffee habit" took such a firm hold on
the people that the beverage was made
and drank in secret. They even went
long distance into the desert and there
prepared the seductive concoction with
out fear of molestation.
home pious Mohammedans thought
it might be included among the intoxi
cating beverages forbidden by the
Koran, but Alhambali, in an able
pamphlet entitled "The Support of
Innocence," proved that it was not in
the prohibitory section of that book.
As a consequence the followers of the
prophet once more returned to the de

3lin Who Wear Small Hat.
I never saw an earnest worker, or a
man who had real and serious duties to
preform, who wore a hat too small for
him.
Many great lawyers and statesmen,
cranky but shrewd speculators, popular
preachers, and history making generals
and editors wear hats too large for
them sometimes so large that they
act as extinguishers and are stopped in
their downward course only by the pro
jection of the ears; but I never saw one
who wore a hat too small, perched upon
the top of his head. Indeed, I might
assert as a positive and invariable fact
that, save in cases of dire necessity,
such as shipwrecks or utter and hope
less poverty, the man who wears a hat
too small for him is a silly frivolous,
conceited creature, with no serious
ideas on any subject, and only the most
flippant and shallow views of life and
its obligations. Even among tramps
and vagabonds, the fellow with the
'dinky" derby balanced upon his mop
of unkempt hair, is the most hopeless
wreck among his class; while there is
always a gleam of intelligence, a spark
of hope, in the tramp whose hat is too
large for him. Kate Field's Washing

with a bow of ribbon or velvet the ex

Sometimes the collar is of dull leather,
with the name of the dog perforated
and stitched with gold or stiver thread ;
but iu all cases the collar must be white
and the bow must match its mistress'
