County Commissioner llallard, of San Francisco, is tho possessor of a rare nnd curious gold coin which fell into his hands in California in Mill. It is t Mormon flve-ilolhir piece, and for many years lias been employed as a charm oi bangle on Mr. Ilullard's fob chain. Th owner himself was a M'Jcr, and look part iu the early gold excitement ! Californiiu He told a New York lie corder mutt that tho Mormons, whe were among the earliest in the (fold fields, returned to Salt Lake with great quantities of the precious yellow dust. Much gold also fount! its way to Utah through other avenues. lirighuui Younif, who was at that time running a little government on his own account, estalt lished a mint uud coined probably tint million dollars in live-dollar (old pieces. These coins very soon found their way to California and passetl current. At that early date, Mr. Jtalhtril says, tin coins were welcomed as a (jrcat convenience in matters of exchuntfe. Tlie metal in the coins was unalloyed so soft iintl pure, in fact, that it wore away very rapidly. On litis account they soon disappeared from circulation almost as rapidly as they had appeared. Ou one sitte of Mr. Halhtrd's relic are two clasped hands, probably symbolic of brotherly love, while around the margin are the letters, "((. S. I,. C. I'. U.," stantlincf for "lirctit Salt Lake Cal ifornia l'ttre (iold." liclow the clasped hands are the words, "live dollars," anil the date "lM'.l." On the other side, iu the center of the coin is the all-seeing eye, ami below that a beehive, while around the margin are these worths, "Holiness to the Lord." Mr. Italian! has hail some 1 rouble in keeping his coin. Once he accidentally lost the keepsake, but was lucky enough to tind it ti(rniu. Another time a thief pit into his house and took all the money from his pocket IhioIi except this odd-lookino; coin, which, at a (fiance, resembles a trunk check. This was more than twenty years ii(fo. Mr. Kullard then attached "it to his morocco fob chain, which is anchored to tin old-fashioned silver watch tho movement of which is also dated 18411.1 Another of these rare coins is preserved in the National iniiscniiiHt Washington. Itlalni-'M Lobsters. r "Ihirinu the past three months," sayi tho Portland Press, "there were listed in Portland ;i','ti.r,7l live lobsters and 'J3.7M canned lobsters.

Color Law In Flowers. The favorite flower of the princess of Wales' household is the lily of the val ley, anil the dinner table is rarely with out a decoration of these modest aud fragrant llowers that grow in great profusion about Sandringham. A llorist says that the law governing the color ing of llowers makes a blue rose impos sible. According to this law, the three ctdors, red, blue anil yellow, never all appear in the same species of llowers; any two may exist, but never the third. Thus mi have the red and yellow roses, but no blue; red and blue verbenas, but no yellow; yellow ami blue in the vari ous members of the viola family (as pansies, for instance), but no red; red anil yellow gladioli, but no blue, and so on.

Canon Taylor, in that most interest ing book, "Tlie Origin of the Aryans," has raised once more a question which has often attracted the attention of scholars, especially those interested in the Homeric poems, savs the Academy. Why is it that in the earliest records of the Greeks, Egyptians, Assyrians, Indians, and Celts we find the horse used for drawing chariots, but not yet for riding? Canon Taylor remarks: "It is curious to notice at how late a period men first ventured to mount 'the swift one;' " and he goes on to say that there is nothing in the "Kig Veda" to show that tlie art of rilling was practiced, and that our first notice of it is in the "Zend Avesta." The Homeric Greeks emploj'ed the horse almost exclusively for the chariot, riding being only alluded to in some two or three isolated passages, as when Odysseus and Diomedes rode to the ships the-horses of Rhesus which they had captured. This, however, shows that it was hardly from fear that the Greeks did not habitually ritle instead of drive their steeds. The same remark applies to the ancient llritons, who, according to the ancient accounts, performed wonderful feats of agility in running out and standing upon the pole of the chariot. The true solution may probably be this: Tlie primitive horse that ranged over the plains of Europe and Asia was too small when he was first domesti cated to carry a man for any great time or distance on his back. This, of course, would render him practically useless for warfare. There is ample evidence to prove that the primitive wild horse was of very diminutive size. Probably of all his descendants the Shetland pony is his best represent ative. Canon Taylor says (speaking of the enormous deposit of their bones found at Solutre, near Macon, which contains from twenty thousand to forty thousand skeletons): "This primitive horse was a diminu tive animal, not much larger than an ass, standing about thirteen- hands high, the largest specimens not exceed ing fourteen hands. Hut the head was of disproportionate size, and the teeth were very powerful. He resembled the tarpan or wild horse of the Caspian steppes." Even long after he had been domesti cated he remained very small, as is proved by the bits made of bronze and sttighorn which have been found at Mo ringen and Auvernier, which belong to the latest bronze age. "These bits are only three and one half inches wide, and could now be hardly used for a child's pony." Let us now turn to Herodotus, where, speaking of the unknown regions to the north of the Danube, he says that the only people he can learn of as inhab iting the region are called Sigyannae, who wear the costume of the Medes, and whose horses are shaggy all over the botly, being covered with hair to a depth of five fingers, and are small and flat nosed and incapable of carrying men, but when yoked under chariots they are very swift, and that the na tives accordingly drive chariots. This description of the external appearance of the little horses of the Sigyannae of central Europe agrees very well with that of the sketches found near Ma con. The simous shape of the head tallies well with the ugly shaped skull and powerful jaws of the bone de posits. We can hardly doubt that we have here primitive horses such as those whose diminutive bits have been found in the later lake dwellings of Switzer land. It seems to me then that the reason Herodotus here assigns for the fact that this tribe of central Europe drove their horses instead of riding them is the true explanation why all early peoples alike employed the horse for driving long before they ever habit ually practiced riding. It was only after generation's if domestication that, under careful feeding anil breeding, the horse became of stillL-ient size to carry a man on his back with ease. That size was held to be of great importance by the Homeric. Greeks is proved by Iliad x. Ciil. A Pictured (ieoi. One of the strangest lapicjarian freaks that has ever come within the knowl edge of dkimontl experts is now on view at the lluni', II, del, in Kimberly, South Africa. The .-lone, says the Jeweler's Weekly, is in shape and size like a pigeon's egg. of a dark brown color ex ternally, and at (ir.,t sight opaque. If viewed in a dark place, with a candle or other li;-ht so placed that the rays passlhrr.'ig'ii the stone, before falling on the retina, however, one sees distinctly the iinag.' of a man from the waist up ward. T i-.r.iing the pebble, he sees at another p,, int a woman's face, partly concealed by lvavy tresses, and yet, again, on another portion of the surface being applied to the eye, a moonlit cloud sketch is clearly dilineated. The i.l.me was found in a debris wash up, and i'10 10s have been refused for it. A Mr. lievgsma, a debris washer, was the finder of the remark bl ston-. WHISTLING A GIFT. What a Professional l.atly Whistler Sayt About the Art. Mrs. Alice Shaw, the celebrated American whistler, has this to i nt her peculiar gift: "A clever whistler must be born, not made. The natural gifts necessary are a good ear, a sound pair of lungs, a favorable formation of tlie cavity of the mouth, regular teeth and a flexibility and agility in the orbicular and buceiuatory muscles. The strain on these muscles lire great. After an hour's practice I have been compelled to apply electricity to my lips to get them into a normal condi tion. I breathe like a singer, from tho diaphragm, and whistle as any artist would sing. Trilling is to me as easy and natural as ordinary speech. It is the notes which must be long sustained that are most diilicult. Sly compass is two and three-fourths octaves. 1 uever whistle on an inward breuth. Mv notes are always directed outward. The higher the note the closer my lips; the lower the note the larger the orifice. The possibilities of a whistle are almost unlimited. The art is at present iu its infancy. I phrase music as do the most careful singers. During my first per formances my lips became so dry that it was diilicult to produce a clear, liquid toue, I now use an ointment which sbviates that difficulty. I practice an hour sometimes more daily, nnd this has had a doubly beneficial effect. It mis not only enchnnced my proficiency as a whistler; it has caused my chest to expand four inches in the last three years." I llow the Great fomedlin Once I'pon Time Hooke I a I'oliceman. ' From "The Autobiography of Joseph JelTerson," in the Century, we quote as follows: "George Holland was distinctly an actor of the old school, invariably in troducing even into modern character Its traditions and conventionalities; h1" effects were bioadly given, and his per sonality was essentially comic. He w" quite an old man when I first knew him, and I had serious doubts as to whether our acquaintance in tho theater would be an agreeable otto; for by the term' of my engagement I w as to hold a lead ing part as the 2onimedian of the com pany, and he, who had always occupied that station, was placed as second f me. I naturally thought that feeling himself comparatively subordinate, and that 1, a younger man, was to outrank him, ho would, by his manner at least. resent my intrusion upon his former ground. I was, however, agreeably mis- taken; for I found him too generous a man to harbor any jealous feelings, and to my gratification we were friends from our first meeting. It is pleasant also to know that this relationship extended over many years, and up to tho day of his death. "Tho useful career and unblemished character of Georgo Holland will he re called by all who knew him. He lived, a bright and cheerful spirit, in this world for eighty years, for time could not age his youthful heart. He was the merriest man I ever knew. Practical joking was a passion with him, and though his pranks were numerous, by somo good fortune they always ended innocently and with harmless mirth. I remember that on ono occasion, when some goldfish had been placed in the ornamental fountain in Union Square, Holland dressed himself in a full sport ing suit, and with a fish-basket strapped upon his shoulder, a broad-brimmed hat upon his head and a rod in his hand, ho unfolded a cainp-stool, and quietly seat ing himself in front of the fountain be gan to fish, with such a patient and earnost look in his faco that no one could have supposed that it was intend ed as a practical joke. This strange spectaclo soon attracted a curious crowd about the sportsman, who with a vacant and idiotic smilo sat there quietly awaiting a nihblo. A policeman soon forced his way through the crowd and arrested Holland, who explained with a bewildered look that ho was fishing in his own private grounds. The police man naturally concluded that the in truder was somo harmless lunatic, and patting him kindly on the shoulder bade him go home to his friends. Hol land burst into a flood of tears, and while affectionately embracing the guardian of the law contrived to faster the fish-hook into tho collar of tho po liceman's coat, who walked slowly and sympathetically away, unconsciously dragging the line and rod after him. The crowd, seeing tho joke, roared with laughter, as Holland quickly made his way to the nearest omnibus, which he reached before the infuriated policeman could catc.b '! AN ODD STEAMBOAT. on an Ingenious Negro Built One Out of Otlds anil Ends. Somo amusing descriptions havo been written about the home-made steamboat that plies on the St. Paul river, Liberia, but very littlo has boon said of the mo chanical genius who knocked the Boat togother out of material that was never intended for a steamboat. Ilis name is Irons and he used to be a slave in South Carolina. Awhile ago he made up his mind that it was high time there wasasteamboatplyingon tho St. Paul river between Monrovia and the first rapids. Ho secured the cngino of an abandoned sugar-cane crusher, and wont to work to build his steamer. Ho took a canoe fifty feet long and ripped it from stem to stern with a saw. He placed tho halves nino feet apart, ribbed and planked them, and beforo long tho hull was ready for the machinery. Hardly any two pieces of the machinery were cvor togother before. He had to make a score of things before he could induco that engine to turn a paddle-wheel. Ho picked up bits of iron shafting and so on here and U'.srC, Jul with tho aid of a blacksr.iith shop knocked them into shape so that they would work smooth ly togother. Ho mado a pair of paddle wheels, built a deck-houso, secured an old steam-whistle, fitted up a rudder wheel, launched his creation and was ready for business. This man was once an illiterate slave on a uotton plantation, but inventive talent was born in him. His side-wheel steamer is not conspicuous for speed or beauty, but she is serviceable, and is noteworthy as tho first steamboat ever built in Africa and probably tho first that was evor built out of picked-up material. One of Liberia's disadvantages iu tho fact that the former slaves who compose, her citi zens aro most of them poor, not only in purse, but also in intellectual equip ment. Hut she has her men of mark like Dr. lilyden, who would be respected any where for their r.l'.ainments and ability; and she hai rca:;ou to be proud of such a man as Irons, who was known for hisro niarkablo inventivo and mechanical talent lung boforo ho built Liberia's lirst steamboat.
