A queer customs ruling relates to that noble animal, the mule. An American contractor took some mulec Into Mexico for use upon some con struction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The cus toms officials Insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles ol American growth returned witnoul being advanced In value." The ofli cials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them, that mules are not "articles." W hat, then, are they? If they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a hen is not a bird, the customs service has got Its natural history fearfully and wonderfully mixed. Get Close to Nature. Says a philosopher: "Observe na ture. When you come to a barnyard go in and see the pigs and fowls and the cows. Climb a fence now and then and go Into the fields and look at the crops or the cattle. I know of no place where there is more philos ophy than in a barnyard. You can learn much from animals. Within their circle they know much more than, we do." Good Hint. Those who keep up a regular corre spondence with several friends will find it a good plan to keep envelopes addressed to each of them in some convenient place, and into these to slip newspaper cuttings and notes of things which will Interest each par ticular correspondent. When the time comes to write the letter it will be found that the task is practically ac complished. Sourcec of Her Cold. As papa didn't come home for lunch, mamma and little Katharine always ate a cold repast, which Katherlne didn't like. One morning the little girl woke up with a very hoarse voice. "Where could you have caught that cold, dear?" asked mamma. "I think it was from eating that cold meat yes terday, mamma." nature's Beauty Hidden.

London Evening Standard. Wastage Through Circulation on Brit ish Gold and Silver Coins. It Is the duty of each loyal subject not merely to refuse gold coin that Is under a certain weight but to break It "Every person," the act reads, who shall by himself or others, cut, break or deface such coin tendered to him In payment and the person tendering the same shall bear the loss." Hut in spite of this act It is a risky business interfering with coins which you may suspect to be under weight or spurious. Some months ago a Grimsby woman offered a half sovereign in payment of goods to a local shopkeeper. The latter put the coin In a testing machine, and as it broke In two, refused to take it The coin, however, was pronounced by experts to be perfectly genuine, and when the case was taken into a court of law the shopkepper was ordered to refund ten shillings to the cus'omer. Money, both gold and silver, wears out at a startling rate. It is reckoned that there is usually a hundred mil lion pounds in gold coin in F.ngland, a very large proportion of which Is locked In the strong rooms of banks. Yet of that which Is In active circula tion the wastage Is so great that dur ing every twelve months seventy thousand pounds' worth of gold and silver are rubbed off Into fine dust Pearson's Weekly.
