As naturally hap pen to friend who have not met tor years, they were In a reminiscent mood, and Qulney lloblson related an lnoldout of the early history ot the oil regions which may give tho children of tho pres ent generation a vague idea ot tho mag nitude of --the transaction which took place when oil wa W and $U a barrel, and poor people gained aoompcloncy by scooping It off the aurfaoo of creeks, or gathered It from pools around the tank which had overflowed. The story, ai told by Mr. lloblson, wa as follows: "Within a month after Colonel Drake had struck tha first petroleum evor brought to the surface in America by means of drilling, my father and the father ot my relatives hero bought a tract of laud comprising l.SttO acres, ad joining the farm on which the Draka well wa located, for MM, 000. Not long afterward I was Bitting In their utiles ono day I remember it as distinctly a though It happened only yesterday when an agent for an Eastern syndicate walked In and offered 1500,000 for tha 1,S80 acres. Tho owners looked at Um rather Incredulously for a moment, but before they could speak be bad counted out on the Uiblo .VK,000 In cash and drafts, which ho offered for a deed ot the tract. I was appalled by the sight of the pile, but my father and tho father of these gentlemen retired for consulta tion and decided that It the property was worth ,MHi,000 It was worth 11,000,000, and the offer was refused. Their heir still own the land, aud now it la valued at about s.'O.OoO. Where they could hava gotten dollars we could scarcely get nickels. Thus you can see what see tn lngly fairy stories could be told ot thoss day. They are almost incomprehensible to the present generation, but they wort red-hot fact," And a sigh ot regret that tha offer bad not been accepted went round th circle. I'ituburgh Dispatch.

MnmUinatlata Qclliited Over a Valuable Find of Rare Old Specimens. Odd coins have recently been un earthed in S(ral parts of the State, in such quantities that ew York numis matists have bad their attention attract ed this way. The soil ot this old State seems to have a stratum of old copper and silver money undor it In the cellar ot tbe old Lester House In Ledyard has been found an iron pot partlaily filled with copper and silver pioces, all of last century coinage, and worth no small sum of money. They have been sent to New York tor appraisal. It Is supposed they wore buried in the collars more than ono hundred years ago, James S. Cook, ot Hartford, has found in the deep and fortilo slto of the Connecticut river which forms the north meadows a gen uine old "pine tree shilling," coined in 1659. The coin was In the shelving, crumbling bank not throe feet from where the river ia nearly eating Into the meadow. The spot is known locally as "Cap'n Cook's fishing place," whore, in old times, tho seiners used to draw In loads ot bouncing shad and where the colonists and later residents used to hold the old-fashloncd "fish fries." Lonr- bandled frying-pans, fish, sliced potatoes and onions and Santa Crux rum were the features of theso jolly feasts. The pres ence ot tho shilling there shows that these carousals must have been in vogue two centuries ago. fcdward Kennedy, of Windsor, baa found another of the shillings in the earth. Windsor was one of tho oldest tettlements in the colonies. These coins were struck by the Massachusetts Colony to supply needed money, and iney are very rare. It Is a fact of his tory that tbo man who coined them was allowed one In a hundred for bis pay, and that he became very rich. When his daughter was married hit wedding present to her was her weight In shil lings. The coins are now sought for by fanciers, who pay large prices for thorn. Kennedy's coin is a little battered. It contains the abbreviated Latin legend. me ruae pine tree and the "XIL" (twelve pence 24 cents) that all these pieces bad. with the date 1653. II. T.

TU Ilriiianilliis; Thoughtful foiuij. tlun for Many itriw.ni, Tho pursuit of riches for tho &,, rf richet goes on from year to yer ."J century to century, much the same though philosophors, from the daji IJ Solomon down to the present time i, not pointed out the vanity of richei!! that they are the baggago or Iq, menU of virtue, liacon observes, J with much truth, that "of great rich)! there Is no real uho, except it be n distribution; the rest it conceit" "Jba truth, at least Is now more generaii, accepted than In any previous age. 1 with great riches have sometin, sought to distribute their wealth foruj, public good aftpr their deaths, holdin! on to thoir riches out of vanity unlj the last momont of life, but recentW there bat been displayed a growing 4. position on the part of rich men to seek the pleasures of distribution l. ing their own lives a much wiw course in every way. It secures the use of tholr money for the intended purposes which a will sometimes falls to do, mj obtains for the generous giver that re ward ot satisfaction which Is his due To this disposition must bo ascribed the building of great public libraries, schools, institutes and colleges and tbe establishment of large, useful Indus trios by rich men who have learned In time the lessons of philosophy, it j, Impossible for the very wealthy tospond or use thoir incomes upon themselves. Their capacity Is limited, and beyond that they stand as custodians or trusteet of a fund which they may squander or donate to others or to charity, but can not use for themselves. It is this view of groat rlchos (over and boyond the necessities of the Individual) as a kind of trust fund that is beginning to bear fruit in systematic efforts to distribute fortunes for the benefit of the general public. It is somewhat curious to ob serve that even in the days of liacon exactly the same view of men's duties was taken that is now beginning to pre vaiL That philosopher observed: "Therefore measure not thine advance ments by quantity, but frame them by measure, and d.ofer not charities till death; for certainly, if a man weigh It rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal ot another man's than of his own. There is another suggestion by Bacon that has a great deal ot force lo our day and generation. Ho says: ".Men leave thoir riches either to their kindred or to the public, and moderate portions prosper best in both. A great state (estate) loft to an heir is as a luro to all the birds of prey round about to seize on him if be be not otlio better estab lished in years and judgment Like wise glorious gifts and foundations are like sacrifices without salt and but the painted sopulchers of alms which soon will putrlfy and corrupt Inwardly." Who has not observed tho general truth ot this warning? The hoir to a great estate coming to it unprepared by ex perience for the enjoyment or manage ment of great riches suffers it to fall away from him or dissipates it in riot ous living. So also tho church or chari ty too richly endowed attracts to Its control dishonest or easy-going people, and falls to do the good that a struggling congregation or company accomplishes through the unsolfish zeal of Its Individual members. But it there is no real use of great rlcbes except it be In distribution, and it in that distribution it bo wlso to divide the ostato in moder ate portions, it follows that tbe phi lanthropists who seek to found publio institutions ought to consider well the scope and needs of tholr charitable foundations. This they can do with certainty only whllo they are present to direct the operations and observe the effects of tbelr charltablo work. What would have been a largo "foundation" In Bacon's day would be very small in ours. No limit can be drawn except that which arises out of tbe amount of good to be accomplished, but whatever the endowment may bo, it is well to keep within' the limit rather than over step. An institution with a surplus of revenue attracts vultures; an institution barely able to continue its work invites hojpers to join it Thus the distribu tion ot acquired riches demands thought ful consideration on moral grounds at well as because upon the right deter mination ot the question depends ths good that may be accomplished by the aid of great wealth. Baltimore Sun. Understood Electricity. This department gets its share ol queer patrons. A fashionably dressed and handsome woman sailed in. hers recently and wanted "a permit to prac tice electricity." She had been cured of a feminine weakness by tbe use of a small battery and she wanted to doc tor other people. 1 asked her what kind of a current she used, and she re plied, "I use both kinds sometime! the positive and sometimes the nega tive kind, according to the case I'm treating." "How long have you been study injr electricity ?" "About a vear." "And you know all about it?" ""Yes; this battery of mine has six cells, ana it has both kinds of currents, and" I interrupted again to ask, "But do you employ an alternating or continu ous current?" "Say, mister, I guess you don't know much about electricity anyhow. Are you going to give me s permit to practice or not?"
