Beating the Slot Machines.
The slot machine seemed proan
inp with a wealth of nickels when
the collector came to the cipar Ftoro
to open it. As he turned out the
coins a bystander remarked, "See all
the money!''
"Not on your life!" replied the
collector. "The panic isn't what it
used to be. Xearly half of these
are no pood. Sec!" And be deftly
separated the coins into three piles.
One, and not much the larger, rep-l'e.-fiited
the fpiota of bona fide
nickels. Another was composed of
coins recently issued by a depart
ment store as a souvenir of an anni
versrry. The third pile was simply
a bd of lead disks cut exactly in the
n.e
a live cent piece.
"That's the work of the printers,"
explained the collector. "They have
faeiliiits for making these things
tint 'if waste metal from the type
setting machines, and they beat
every s-lot game in town. So, you
see, our business isn't what it is
t racked up to be." Philadelphia

COUNTRY POLICE OF MEXICO.
The rural ok arc the country po
lice of Mexico, and their like does
not exist in any other country.
Their organization was a stroke of
diplomacy on the part of President
Diaz. It was in the pcventies, when
Ihe country bad been infested for
years with banditti, that he otTered
amnesty to all these highway roh
1 ers who woud enlist in his sendee,
and guaranteed them n salary larger
thnn that received by cavalrymen in
any other part of the world. They
knew every nook and corner of the
country, were fearless and expert in
horsemanship and the use of fire
arms. The president wisely discerned
that such qualities could be of pecul
iar value to him if rightly directed.
The bait tempted them, for it was
more reliable than their precarious
way of paining a livelihood, and of
fered honor instead of the constant
danger of imprisonment and death
that had been their portion. They
accepted the proposition unanimous
ly, nnd have served the administra
tion so zealously and elliciently that
brigandage" throughout Mexico is
almost, entirely a thing of the past,
and crime in general is much less !
frequent than before. Overland

The New Mint.
"There is no danger that any one
will carry away Uncle Sam's money
stored in the new Philadelphia
mint," says J. K. Taylor, the super
vising architect of the structure.
"The vaults are built on the soli
rock underlying the city. Fortu
nately it catne to the surface here
nnd extends under the building and
clear across the street. 'Wo found
early in our work that there would
never be any danger of tunneling,
ns the rock is so full of springs that
the smallest opening is immediately
Hooded. 'The would be tunm ler
would he drowned.
"The vaults are built, of solid
steel, the gold vault being seven
inches in thickness, while the silver
vaults are an inch thick. It is not
liccessary to take so great precau
tions with the silver, as it is so
bulky and heavy it could never be
carried away except with drays.
Even now there are big ingots of
silver" lying about the hallway just
covered with tarpaulins. Hut we
have no fear of its being stolen."

Yanko Island.
That there should be room for
discovery of an island in the sea of
Japan nt this time of day seems
hardly credible. It would almost
be as much expected to make a dis
covery of tho kind in the Caribbean
sea. Yet, according to the Xichi
Niehi, a Japanese paper regarded as
reliable, it appears that an island
was discovered at a point between
Ul-long-do, island of Korea, and the
Oki archipelago, about 30 miles oT.
No maps heretofore have the
island referred to. It is described
ns two miles long nnd about the
Fame in width. Trees und grass are
there, nnd it contains many inlets,
affording good anchorage. The
island was discovered by a fisherman
about a year ago, ho finding the
waters about it fairly alive with sen
horses. The new island is called
Yanko by the iishermen of Japan
and Korea. Montreal Star.

It is delightful to be able totpuote
what is perhaps a new fish story
from the New York Times Saturday

A gentleman asked a question of
a boy who was fishing. The boy
mumbled an indistinct response.
"Why can't you speak plainer?"
said tho gentleman. "What have
you in your mouth ?"

Coeducational Matrimony In Russia.
In Kussia if a girl desires to study
fit either of the universities etiqoctte
requires that she should be married.

otherwise the marriage is dissolved
when their university course is fin
