"While it is true that a majority of those occupying the highest social and political positions in the country are de scendants of the proud old aristocratic Spaniards, yet it is equally true that a great many others of wealth and ac knowledged leadership have come up from the lower ranks by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune or eruption of revolution. Unlike the American, the Mexican who acquires fame and fortune never forgets or neglects his poor kin, and, unlike the American again, lie treats nis more imi.cv.uu....... relatives in a queer way. He takes them into his household as servants, giving to them the most menial service, but never denying the relationship or at tempting to conceal it. 1 know of many .nstanceswherea rich Mexican's mother is his cook, his sister his house girl and his father or brother his butler.

"Type metal and lead; molded, too. That is a wretched Counterfeit." "How do you tell that it was mold ed?" 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 (dear 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 tlie window. Hut it takes great power to run a die. Still some highllyiiig counterfeiters do use them, and their work is usually harder to detect, though it is never so perfect as that of the government mint." "What is the surest test 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 eoin a drop of acid spurted on the edge where the plating wears most will chew up the base metal in a hurry." "What acid do you use?" "For gold coin a mixture of strong nitric acid, six and one-half drachms, muriatic acid, fifteen drops, and water, five drachms, is used. 'or silver, twenty-four grains of nitrate of silver and thirty drops of nitric acid with one ounce-of water, due drop is sulllcicnt. If the coin is heavily plated we scrape it a little before putting on the acid." BOGUS GEiVlS. Counterfeit of I'reiloua Stone and How Tlioy Are Made. "The finest imitation diamonds are made out of rock crystal," said a Wash ington dealer in precious stones to a writer for the Star of that city. "The basis of the most successful counter feits of all kinds of gems is a pure, very dense, and highly transparent sort of glass, which is termed 'paste' in the trade. For false diamonds this glass is ii,i,lv put, and nolishcd in facets, ..,i,ii.. f,,r imH:it.inir other stones, such as rubies, emeralds, (sapphires, etc., metallic oxides are mixed with it.

The Congo Free State has received a report from Capt. I'onthicr, who has been stationed shout a year between the Mobangi-Makua and the Congo rivers, with regard to his lights with the Arab slave dealers from Khartoum and his successful efforts to defeat their at tempts to ravage the country south of the Congo. He found in September last, says the New York Sun, that large bands of these Arabs had established themselves in strongly-fortilied towns on islands in the Makua river, that they had laid waste large districts north of the river, and that prompt measures must be taken or tin y would extend their mur derous raids'to the tribes further south. The chiefs all thr..iu-rh the southern part of his district were terribly fright- ened by the news uiui es"-11 " Arab atrocities in the northern districts. They eagerly welcomed the news that Capt. I'onthicr was abmt to lead an ex pedition against the Arabs, and decided to help him with a considerable force of native warriors. The captain was therefore able to set out for the Arab towns late in October, with about two hundred well-armed soldiers of the st.it ; a.id'npward of one thousand natives armed with spears. His march was so rapid that he took the Arabs by surprise, and after a hard liii'.t.le. in which about one hundred of flit, pni'inv were killed, thev fled from their strongest village, and crossing tc the north shore of the river scattered in nil directions. Niifht came too soon to nermit I'onthicr to follow up his vic tory, but the next day and for three .hum after he attacked the towns on other islands with similar success, driv- inn- nil the Arabs across the river and m.ttinir possession of two hundred and tifty slaves whom they had recently captured. A great number of these unfortunates had been fastened together by iron chains attached to rings that had been placed around their necks. They told sad stories of their terrible sufferings. As usual, the Arabs had hilled or driven into the jungle to perish about five per sons for every one they captured. Their fortifications were found to be of un usual strength. Several rows of palis ades surrounded each village. Capt. I'onthicr thinks that he has stopped the progress of the Arabs in this direction. - . i i mmm . . t i,i--ritT!L-rill'TC I ZJTV j Summons.

Philan thropists divide the individuals with whom they deal into three classes-defectives, dependents and delinquents. The defectives arc subdivided into those temporarily disabled and those perma nently disabled. The temporarily dis abled include the sick, the injured and the acute insane. The perma nently disabled include deaf mutes, blind, epileptics, idiots and chron ic insane. The class of dependents includes those who arc not wage ers, and therefore obliged to subsist on the bounty of others-for instance, paupers and orphans up to the time they become self-supporting. Delin quent is the soft word used to desig nate the criminal element. We expect to get exhibits at the world's fair from all the state boards of charities, state prison commissioners and other organ izations having a similar official func tion.

"We will show everything connected with an asylum for the care of insane people from the paper that legally com mits them to the asylum to the ar rangements made for caring for them once they are within its walls. We will show the work that is done in all kinds of dispensaries, the operation of sick-diet kitchens, the work of flower and fruit missions, the gratuitous home service rendered to the poor by physi cians, the organization and work of general and special hospitals, and the general system of ambulance work.

The "Orissa twins" are described as two little 1'riya girls of about live years old. When last heard of, savs the London News, they were leaving by steamer for this country on their w ay to the world s fair at I'hi'caco. though thev will lirst be exhibited here. Thev are, it is stated firmly joined together and if one is fed botli"iire satisfied. When they were in early Infancy at lloapara, in the inte rior, the native villagers looked upon them as the incarnation of the devil, and their pareuts were boycotted by their caste people. Tlui story is that the father's lirst impulse w as to sepa rate them by cutting the sac. which joins them together, and the mark made in the. attempt is still visible. A wealthy tchsilder of tin. district, how ever, intervened. Ketter Kaiek, tho father of the twins, is reported to bo now steadily growing rich. The Siamese tw ins, Cluing and Dug, were, it will be remembered, of the male sex. They were boru ill 1M 1 and died in America, within two hours of each other, iu January, lacking the brilliancy of natures products. "For my own part, I am confident ; that sooner or later some, if not all, of the stones deemed precious will be re produced by artifice. The chemists who have hitherto confined their atten tion to taking things apart are begin ning to learn how to put them together. All the gems are very simple in their composition, and the problem is merely to make their elements crystallize properly. In all such knowledge science has made little progress as yet. We do not even know for what reason one substance is transparent while another is opaque, though presumably there is some relation between the arrangement of the molecules in the transparent Inly and the length of the light w lives, which, in the ease of the transparent bo ly, permits the latter U) pass through."

The meeting was to organize and discuss the most practicable means of forwarding the enterprise and arousing public senti ment in the country by showing the manifest advantages of being repre sented at Chicago. The principal news paper, the Sentinel, published at Blue- fields, calls upon the moneyed men to subscribe liberally, that Mosquito may make a good showing here. Much is claimed for the exhibition of ores which can be made, which alone should at tract men and capital.

Years ago, says the 1'hiladelphia l'ress, when ex cavations were first being made on the site of the old lava-covered city, a party from America found a jar of tigs; not only one but several. I'pon opening one of them the contents were found to be as fresh and perfect as when first put into the jar nineteen centuries be fore! Investigations instituted on the spot proved that the fruit had been put into the jars in a highly heateil state, and that an aperture for the escape of steam had been left in the lid, wtneti, when it hail served its purpose, was scaled over with wax.

For practical purposes the Mediter ranean may be accepted as being what it is popularly supposed to be, a titleless sea, but it is not so in reality. In many places there is a distinct rise and fall, though this is more frequently due to winds and currents than to lunar attrac tion. At Venice there is a rise of from 3ne to two feet in spring tides, accord ing to the prevalence of winds up or town the Adriatic. In many straits ind narrow arms of the sea there is a Deriodical flux and reflux, but the only place where the tidal influence, prop erly so called, is unmistakably observed s in the gulf of Cubes, where the tide tins at the rate of two or three knots in hour and the rise and fall varies from .hree to eight feet. SHE WANTED TO SPOON. But Her Heartless llubby Walked Dei Nine Uloeks Instead. A young man and a young girl got on a Broadway ear, says tne JNew rora World. They had a decidedly newly married air, and took the only vacant seats in the car, which were opposite each other. At Twenty-first street the young man's neighbor got ofE and the girl quickly jumped into the vacant seat. "Shall we get off at Twenty-third street, Jack?" "Xo, dear, not till Forty-second." Itere the girl laid her parasol across Jack's knees and her own at once and dropped her elbow a little closer into Jack's side, with an air of tucking her self up to have a nice spoon for a whole mile. It was only patent to a close ob server, but a little to the eye often goes a long way in the sensation of touch. Jack stiffened himself straight, pulled out his newspaper and plunged in deep, but the girl edged in a wee bit closer and thought the paper a nice cover for her little love-making. Up went the left leg of Jack's trous ers with a nervous pull, displaying any amount of shank, while a frown of hor rible irritation gathered on his face, but the parasol was still tightly pressed on his knees and the girl looked perfect ly happy. "Thirty-third!' called the conductor. "We'll get off here," said Jack, mak ing a break for the platform, while the girl, roused so abruptly, regarded his dropped newspaper and general air of mortified abstraction with an open wonder which barely allowed her to join him. It is not to be doubted that at home Jack might have only moved the para sol to have replaced it by a tenderer burden, but in public, like every other man of the right sort, he objected to "spooning." Women are more fre quently than men inclined to err in this direction, and by a thousand little acts go far to advertise to the world in gen eral what they are not always prepared to sustain in perfection at home.

The black rat was the common house rat until the crown or gray rat made Ins appearance in 1775.
