Doctorrit by tlm l'liNrriiptilniiM, One of the most puzzled mcu in town is n Montgomery utrect rcxtaiiraut keep er, who n cent!' took in a I'-'U Koldpieco which tilled nil the ordinary rcquire nienlH of KctiniuclicMi no far iih the sit pcrlicial test could reveal the true facta. But ti few ilnys Hgn n banker stepped into bin place und saw tlio ;)0 piece which tlio restaurant man bad received only u short time before. Tho banker bad u queer look in his eyes us be took the coin and rapjied it sharply with his knife, and tho restaurant keeper had a stratiRcr expression its ho saw his sop posed $20 piece break into two pieces. "How is this?" he demanded. Tho bunker answered: "It is tho same old panic. I hud one of those pieces myself, and since then I buve tested Roldpiecrs of tho $20 denomina tion very carefully. If that had been Rcuuiue, my test woold not have broken it." Then the restaurant keeper and the banker carefully examined it together. The outside of the oldpiece was all right, seemingly, when tho dissevered parts were placed together. The milling seemed to bo up to the standard. Tho weight was correct, bat the inside of the piece was half filled with a compo sition which was not tho customary gold and ahoy. Still closer eiamiuatioa revealed Unit tho gold had keen sawed through with exquisite care and skill just inside of tho milling. Then the milling had been removed and from the interior of tho piaco some of the gold bad beeu extracted and the baser com position was mudo to take the place of the more prec ious metal. Then, with equal deftness and skill, the milling bud been replaced and soldered in some way and the trick was done. San Francisco Call. A Contrarj F!j. If ever there was anything in the world thut went by contraries, it is the Chinese Mug. It will be recalled that it is ojio of tlio gayest of uatiouul stand ards. The body of the banner is of a pulo yellow. In tho upper left bund corner is a sniull red sun, and looking at it is a fierce Chinese dragon. About 1,000 yeuri ngo, so the story runs, the Chinese mudo war upon the Japanese. They prepared for a great invasion. At a prophecy of victory they adopted a Itaudurd which is thut of tho present time. They took the sun of Jupuu und mudo it very small. This they put iu front of tho dragon' mouth to express the idea Unit the Chinese dragon would devour tho Jupuueso. It happened, bow ever, thut tbo Chinese fleet, conveying an urniy of 100,000 mcu, wus wrecked on its wuy to Jupuu by u great store-, und ull but three of tho 100,000 peris.. ed. The result of tho lust war bail nut been liny more convincing than the Cist ull air thut the Chinese Hug bus been correctly conceived. Pittsburg Disputch. Wood and Dogs.

A writer wIhi knows what bo is talk ing nbout says In nn exchange: Most of us nro familiar with the way in which n horse or mnlo kicks, but few of lis know bow a enmcl expresses bis anger. Tlio rninel doesn't seem to bo ont of temper. Ho lazily chews his cud, with his eyes half closed, ond those not familiar with his ways might fancy that be is half nslecp. Hut directly ho draws a hind leg up tinder him, and then, us soon as tho object of bis wrath Is In range, be sends bis hoof straight back like a shot. I havo seen n heavy mini sent whirling several yards in n dense crowd by the kick of a cninel. An emu ran kick us bard ns a linrn. I have seen men kicked so hard by this vicious bird that their legs were broken. If I had my choice of being kicked by it horse or an emu, I think I wonld lake the horse. The emu stands on one leg and with tlm other strikes a quick and most paralyzing blow. I never would have belicvec that it bird had such pow rr had 1 not bad ocular evidence of it during this trip. After two or three of our men hud suffered from tho terriblo kicks of thrso birds wo did not venture near them, bnt, after running our horses till we got close enough, would bring them down with our rides. We did not approach them till wo know they were dead. Wo killed them for their feathers, al though they arc not so valuable as thoso of the ostiich. Wo also bunted for the egg, which are to bn found in the sand, but in doing this we took euro not to collide with tho emu. The eggs are more in demand than the feathers. They ure very In an; iful and are so tough that it isdifllctilt to break them.

' Lauientittiou over tho inferiority of j thepieseiit to the past has been going on probably ever since there was a past stilllcienlly remote to be haloed by ilis- ! tance, and critics of a certain class have always failed tn realize that what i they really regret is youth, not the eon- ; ditinns tiiiiler which youth wus passed. ' The deti rioration of the stage has been for ages the constant topic of comment, I which, considering the steady improve- incut in ploys as plays, is us ludicrous- ; ly unvarying as it is willfully inari u- I rate. The Pull Mall Gazette has dug j out of one of its first numbers u criti cism, written in lH(io by George Henry Lewes, and it calls attention to the i n- j rious likeness which his words present to what ono not infrequently hears to- f duy. ; "The present condition of the rlra- I ma," wrote Air. Lewvs in the time : which bus mine tn bo culled "the good j old days," "is deplored ly ull lovers of i tho nit." And he went on in an iimus- i ingly familiar strnin tn say: "It is the ' more irrituting because never were then- i ters so flourishing. A variety of concur rent causes, which need not here be enumerated, bus reduced tbo stage to its present pitiable condition. Wo bain muiiy theuters nightly crowded by nil eager but uncritical public and nn ono ' theater in which a critical public can ' hope to enjoy a tolerable performance. Yet thero is n smaller public) choice in . its tastes and large enough to support a theater, which wonld eugerly welcome a line actor or it well written drama." , Burely it is toluugh.

Tho best mahogany comes from Liv erpool. The Liverpool timber merchant buve long controlled tho muhogun trude, and they get most of tho best lops from tho West Indies and lutterly even from Mexico.
