England's nickel trade is passing through a severe crisis, owing to tie diminished consumption of the metal in German coinage and the competition of the French Nickel company, which has reduced the price from four dollars a pound to 27 cents. Russia is a gold-producing country, bo it is not remarkable that the circulat ing medium comprises $422,000,000 of gold, to only $41,000,000 of silver. The deficiency in subsidiary money is made up by an enormous mass of outstanding paper roubles, the total amounting in our money to $550,100,000. The range of the human voice is quite astounding, there being about ine perfect tones, but 17,592,186,044,- 515 different sounds; thus 14 direct muscles, alone or together, produce 16,- 63; 30 indirect muscles ditto, 173,741,- 823, and all in cooperation produce the number we have named; and these in dependently of different degrees of in tensity. A Hamburg young man has just had his sanity proved by the Roentgen rays. He declared ten years ago that he had a bullet in his head which he had fired into it in trying to commit suicide. He complained of the pain and, as he attacked his keepers and the doctors could find no trace of a wound, was locked up as a dangerous lunatic. The Roentgen rays have now shown the exact place of the bullet. Japanese coal is to be placed upon the California market in competition with the standard grades that have been used there for years. Three large steamers are loading coal at Kobe for San Francisco, and two more steamers are under charter to carry similar car goes for the same destination within the next 30 days. The bulk of the coal consumed in California now comes from Puget Sound and British Colum bia mines,' while a big share is supplied by Australia. The production of coal in India is steadily increasing. In 1885 there were mined 1,295,000 tons, while last year the figures were increased to 3,167,000 tons. The Bengal collieries are responsible for about 2,500,000 of the total. Much attention has also been paid of late years to the discovery of mineral oil wells, but the success attained has not been very encouraging so far, though some 36,000 gallons of oil were obtained from the Digboi field in 1895. The bor lug at Sukkur has failed to leach an oil bed, though it has been carried "to a depth of 1,500 feet, and is to be sunk 200 feet further before being abandoned. REPUTATION TOO GOOD. Confession of a Jooalar Han Who Llrad Up to Ills Raeord. I have been told that I came into this world with a grin on my pink face. In stead of protesting when the clergyman who baptized me sprinkled the water in my left eye, I took the whole thing as a good joke, which led my nurse to predict that I would have a short life. My conduct during my first couple of years showed that I had made up my mind to make it a merry one. The reputation for good nature which I have had from my earliest childhood has proved my greatest affliction.' The popularity which I enjoyed as a baby with all those who came in contact with me lias stuck like a leech. Having reached the age of discretion, I am ex pected to be hnppy under all pcmsJblu circumstances. My friends tell me that they never met anyone who equnled me In evenness of temper. They are care ful to spread my renown among those who are strangers to me. The result is that I feel obliged to live up to my re pute. I go about ready to turn on a fictitious smile at a moment s notice, My tailor may be pressing me for pay ment of his bills, I may be suffering from the remorse that follows a late dinner. I may have Indigestion, or. In fact, suffer from any of the Ills that afflict humanity; yet if I see a friend in the street I must grin like a monkey and laugh like a mule. Why? Tie' rause I am a good-natured man. Smil ing haa become such a habit that I beam unconsciously, and if there ia a baby in the elevated ear or street car at the time, the little wretch is sure to express a desire to ait on my knee and pull my linntnchc, oil ot which is a rati of extreme embarrassment. Naturally shy and diffident, my alleged good nature gives roe an air of extreme ease In dealing with strangers, espe cially old maids, clergymen and police. My life Is one long bluff. I am a whlted aepuleher. There Is deceit In the corner of my mouth and the twinkle of my eye. I am not allowed to Indulge in the blue or to be miserable. If any one Is despondent, he or she would resent tny failure to make fun as a per sonal Insult, I have been In love many times, but in no rase, has the girl deigned to take m seriously. Terhaps It Is just a well, because in the mr- rled state the rnsak Is nulcVly torn off, What a revelation my reul nature would have tx-n! The worst thing of all is that I am looked on a harmless. The world oitlvely reftmes to saaoclut" guile w ith so genial a man. Yet I feel thst I rould lie a great and historic criminal If I hud the opportunity. I suppfwe I shall le unchanged to the last, and wink at the undertaker. N. V. Sun. BEAU BRUMMELL. A laa flravo rasaoas laatr sat wit.

HordM of Potato Beetle Hake an On slaught fjpoa landing Arm Worms and tho Battle Lasts -for Boars. Cosmua Eckenrode, of Pike township, was in Reading the other day, and gave the details of a most extraordinary oc currence which happened upon his farm recently. Mr. Eckenrode has a potato patch of about an acre and a half near the western line of his farm, adjoiniug the land of Samuel Eenderdine. This place was so infested with potato bugs that several weeks ago he gave up any hope of having a crop, and he allowed the bugs to have their own way. In spite of their numbers, however, they had not succeeded entirely in eating up the rapidly growing vines. The army worms invaded the farm of his neigh bor, Mr. Keuderdine, and crossed over into Mr. Eckenrode's land. Mr. Ecken rode went out to observe the progress of the pests, and in doing so came to the potato patch. Hcj found potato bugs assembled in countless thousands on the edge of the patch nearest to Mr. Kenderdine's land, and facing the di rection from which the army worms were coming. When Mr. Eckenrode first came to the potato patch the advance guard of the worms were arriving. As soon as a worm would come within reach of the bugs one of them would fasten itself upon his back and begin to eat him, just as if he were a succulent potato vine. The result would be that before his wormship could advance a yard he would begin to writhe and wiggle in the agonies of death, and would soon be hors de combat. The worms, whose appetite is a most voracious one, appeared to be all m suspecting of the design of the bugs, and upon their first npproach invaria bly attempted to ea.t them, supposing, no doubt, that they were some new kind of vegetable, but the hard shell of the bugs served as an impenetrable armor, rendered them perfectly safe against any weapons the worms could bring against them. " It is needless to say that Mr. Ecken rode watched this curious battle with intense interest. In a short time after his arrival the worms began to come by the thousands and tens of thousands, and the battle raged most furiously. The army of potato beetles was appar ently numberless, and as fast as the army wormscame on they were attacked and killed in the way before described. Sometimes when there was an unusual ru.sh, a sort of Pickett's charge, as it were, the inflow of worms would ad vance for a yard or two within the line of the bugs, but only to add their dead bodies to the wriggling, writhing mats. The slaughter went on at such a rate that in a few hours a strip of ground about ten feet wide along the edge ol the potato patch was covered to an aver age of a foot in depth with dead worms. In the meantime the neighbors for quite a distance around had heard of this unique battle and hod assembled to watch it. From early morning until late in the afternoon it kept up, when not only did the advancing army worms begin to thin out, but the barrier raised by the dead bodies of their companions prevented further advancing In that direction. Thetv. by some sort of an ap- parent understanding a'mohg' them, the worms changed the direction of their march and ceased to advance up on the demesne of the bugs. The latter, shortly after this took place, scattered back among tho potato vines and re turned their usual occupation thereon. There were to all appearances but few casualties among the bugs, al though many of them were caught in the crush of the advancing worms and smothered or trampled to death. One day lately hundreds of people from all over Pike and adjoining town ships came to view the results of this strange battle. Mr. Lckenrode esti mates that the dead worm will proba bly weigh eight tons. He intends to use them for fertilizing purposea. Phila delphia Press. Well aod Pomp Aeeoant.
