Some say that it fravc the name to the

'fiowcr," for the -same reason, that an

. For several hundred years, and down
to a comparatively recent date, money
was coined at from twenty-five to thirty
different cities in France that had in
herited thu privilege. Now all French
money is coined at the Paris mint. Few

PROTECTED BY A WOLF.
A Boy's S2:iKTilnr Ipfi'ndpr Against a Pack
of Hungry J7rutea.
Sam" Adams, was killed by the In--dians
near Johnstown, Pa., says Forest
and Stream. His brother John was
with him when he was killed. They
were watching some cattle in a swampy
place on the river, when they were sur
prised by the Indians. John was only
ten years old, but he knew all abou the
ways of the savages. When be saw his
brother fall he dixiged into the brush
like a quail and r:n till beft-ot into the
dense laurel that skirts the stream. He
was thirty milei; from the settlement in
Bedford county, and when night ame
on he resolved to take tha woods forsit
and erow; the uvrantam. He knew the
Intiian:; would v.-.it..-h the road. Ho was
barchv.VLed a-.i.'i harefoted, and his feet
were. Ues'.i:;-. TV.e. wolves" followed
him, h .w:.'.. - and gi'tlUig, norc and
more ia:;v.-.di nt. lie dare . not climb a
tree f:r f.-r.r .of lwiug kept up till morn
ing am" Iviug discovered by the red
sinus. :;. v. olf, i iu-rh larger than the
rest, can: . very ncai Win.- so near that
when ho : 'i .!. his, i?ha;jy coat, wet
with the ..-. th-.i Ky felt "it splash in
his f.v. 'liiis tMt;; appeared to fight
' 1 no disposition
toaonarm. it was not long till tne
rest of the pack dropped off and left
John alone with the big wolf, and they
journeyed on together, till broad day. '
When they reached the brow of the
mountain and John could seethe smoke
and clearings of the settlement they
separated. - The wolf trotted off along
the ridge, stopped several times, and
looked back as. though, .loath to leave
his companion. John lived to be very
old, but never harmed a wolf in all his
life; and he firmly believed that his
friend had been sent to him by some un
seen power to guide bimi thrbugh the
wilderness. He could never have found
the crossing with6nt the aid of the
wolf,- and- would certainly have been
eaten up but for his protection.
DETECTING SPURIOUS COINS.
A Treasury Expert Illustrates - a Sure
Method of Coining to a Conclusion.
"Here's the way we test coins in the
treasury." And the expert swiftly
poised the . dollar piece horizon
tally on the r tip of his' fore
finger, holding . the thumb a quarter
of an inch away from it, and gave it a
brisk tap with another coin. ' A clear,
silver ring .sounded out. - "Good, but
here, listen," and he xepeated the opera
tion with another coin that gave out a
dull, heavy clink that ceased almost as
soon as it began. ' "Type metal and
lead; molded, too. That is a. wretched
counterfeit." ' - ''
. "How do you tell that it was molded?"-
asked a Springfield Republican
man.
He held the two coins so that the light
struck on their edges. "Just Compare
the reeding-, will you, or milling, as
most people call it. In this genuine
coin this is very clear and sharp cut, in
the counterfeit it is coarse and dull.
That is because it is molded instead of
being stamped in cold metal like the
governme nt coins."
-, "'Why do the counterfeiters not use
the same cold process?" .
"It costs too much and is too
noisy. With a mold, you see, a counter
feiter can carry on his work in a garret,
and if a policeman comes in he can shy
his whole outfit out of the window.
But it takes great power to run a die.
Still some highflying counterfeiters do
use them, and' their work is usually
harder to detect, though it is never so
perfect as (hat of the government
mint."
"What is the surest lest for counter
feit coin for popular use?".
. "The- looks of the reeding, as I was
telling you the milling, by the way, is
on the face of the coin and not on the
edge, as most people think. ' That's the
surest and easiest thing, but of course,
other tests have to be used, especially
for weight and thickness. A little scale
for weight and measure is the handiest
thing to settle that. . Then for a plated
coin a drop of acid spurted on the edge
where the placing wears most win chew
up the base metal in a hurry."
."What acid do you use?"
"For gold coin a mixture of ftrong
nitric acid, six and one-half drachms,
muriatic acid, fifteen drops, and water,
five drachms, is used. For silver, twenty-four
grams of nitrate of silver and
thirty drops of nitric acid with one
ounce of water. One drop is sufficient.
If the coin is heavily plated we scrape
it a little before putting on the acid."
NATURE'S BENEFICENT WORK.
It Is Doing Wonders In the Famous Col
orado Desert. -When
the water began to recede in
the Salton lake and in the streams
which fed it from the Colorado super
ficial observers declared that the over
flow of 1892 was going to be a repeti
tion of the overflow of 1852, and that
in a few years no traces of it would re
main. , But it seems - they forgot that
the application . of water to sand pro
vokes vegetation. All through the dis
trict which was overflowed a year ago,
and is now in large part dry, plants
have sprung up where plant life never
existed -within the historical period,
and the desert is gridironed withN
strings of bushes and grass. From
these plants moisture will evaporate,
and will return to the earth in the
shape of rain, extending the arable
area. . .
., Nature's impulse is to turn the face
of the earth to account, says the San
Francisco Examiner. When it fails to
do so it is hindered by insuperable ob
stacles. In a desert where' there is
neither soil nor moisture it is difficult
for anything to grow; but apply a lit
tle water to the sand and seeds carried
by the wind will germinate, plants will
flourish, -and, dying, eave behind them
decayed, vegetable matter which will
feed their progeny. Water is the best
of all fertilizers, though it has never
been patented. Dowfi. in Merced the
ingenious nurserymen located on sand
plains on which it was difficult to find
a speck of- loam or humus or alluvium;
they irrigated the sand liberally, and
now there is hardly a plant in the her
barium which, they do not grrow success
fully. Another thing. Whatever has been
since the world took its present shape
may be again. Time was when the
Colorado desert contained a r'oin of
lakes surrounded by forests. '.7c can
see the beach line of the lakes and the
trunks of the blasted trees. By what
convulsion of nature in that volcanic
country these lakes were cut off from
their sources and evaporated science
has not formulated conjecture, but it is
rash to conclude that the old sources
will never be reopened and the lakes ret
stored. Had the people of Southern nCal
ifornia displayed energy last year the
river mouth of Algodones would have
been kept open, and a steady flow of
water secured throughout the spring
and summer seasons. Some day that
may be done. ; -
Another Pair of Siamese 'Twins.
That strange freak of nature known
as "the Siamese twins" has, it appears,
been repeated in Orissa. The "Orissa
twins" are described as two little Uriya
girls of about five years old. When
last heard of, says the London News,
they .were leaving by steamer for this
country on then? way to the world's fair
at Chicago, though they will first be
exhibited here. They are, it is stated,'
firmly joined together and if one is fed
. both are satisfied. When they were in
early infancy at Hoapara, in the inte
rior, the native villagers looked upon
them as the incarnation of the devil,
and their parents were boycotted by
their caste people. The story is that
the father's first impulse was to sepa
rate them by cutting the sac - which
joins them together, and the mark
made in the attempt is still visible. - A
wealthy tehsilder of the district, how
ever, intervened. : Ketter Naick, .the
father, of the twins, is reported to be
now steadily growing rich. The Siamese
twins, Chang and Eng, were, it will be
remembered, of the male sex. . They
were born in 1811 and died in America,
within two hours of each other, to
January, 1874.
LEGENDS ABOUT THE, POTATO.
Queer Stories About Its Introduction
. v Into Russia and England. ' ,
When potatoes were ' first introduced
into Russia by a Mr. Rowland (the ex
act date of the introduction of the
tuber into that benighted country being
a subject of controversy, but, usually
set down at 1791) the people would
neither : plant nor touch them. They
declared them to be the devil's fruit,
and that they were given to his Satanic
majesty on his complaint to God that
he had no fruit God ' told him to
''search the earth for food." Where
upon the poor devil fell to .digging in
the earth and found potatoes growing
therein. .
A similar legend -seems to have ob
tained credit among the staid British
ers in Berwickshire England. . In that
shire the introduction of potatoes is
popularly attributed to Sir Michael
Scott, one known all over Europe as
"The Wizard of the North." According
to the s tor Michael and ' the devil
formed a copartnership and took the
lease of a farm on the Mertown estates,
called the ''Whitchouse." Michael was
to manage the farm; the devil the cap
ital; the produce was to be divided in
the following manner: . " .
The first year Michael was to have all
that grew above the ground, and the
devil all that grew beneath the surface;
the second year shares were , to be
divided in just the opposite way. ' Hit
Satanic majesty, strange t say, was
badly beaten by the wiiy Michael, for
that personage, with true Scottish fore
sight, sowed all the land tv wheat the
first year and. planted it all ia potatoes
the second So the poor devil -got
nothing but wheat stubble and potate
tops. How these absurd legend:; orig.
inated no one seems to Lnovr, but the
fact remains that the ptasa.i:'ry of both
Russia and England even t f his day
frequently allude to potatoes as "devil's
fruit."
