A unique gold coin has just been, purchased by the trustees of the British Museum with the assistance assistance of some private subscribers. It is the only known example of the gold coinage of the Anglo-Saxon King Offa (A. D. 757-796), the most celebrated of all the Mercian princes, princes, the friend of Cliailmagne and the recipient of many presents from that Emperor. The coin is remarkable-not only nn account of its uniqueness and of the fact that it is the earliest gold coin that can be definitely ascribed ascribed to any English king, but also because, although it was struck by a Christian king, it bears a Moham medan inscription in Arabic. s At the time of the issuing of the coin the Arabic dinar formed a large part of the gold currency of Europe Europe and it is believed that it was for this reason that Offa caused an exact imitation of an existing Arabic Arabic coin to be made for his own use. The coin is in a very fine state of preservation. The existence of this specimen has been known since 1841. It was obtained in Rome by tlie late Duc'de Blacas, but from 1841 till 1907 nothing was known of its whereabouts. * ' "Why do people speak of the human race ?"

The time was near for Roger and Fred Mason to leave the big woods, where they had been camping, lne brothers were" feeling sad, but on Saturday, just as the sun was sinking sinking in a blanket of red and gold m the west,, the two brothers saw a canoe coming dowrf the lake ; as it glided nearer they could, see. Uncle ; 7rank in the bow, and right beside aim a brown, furry head that bob >ed up and down. j "Skip has come!" they shouted,, and ran to the landing to greet him. A few minutes later the water spaniel spaniel was leaping about them and barking his delight. When mother saw Skip, she said, "Something exciting is sure to happen happen now." And something did. It was three days afterward that Roger and Fred and the water spaniel started to go down the path that led to a little pond, where father and Uncle Frank and Happy Lewis, the guide, had gone to catch some trout for s Upper. The path wound in and out through the trees, over knolls, and down into dells where the spruce trees cast dark shadows. After a- while the trail branched into two paths, and the boys went to the right. They thought they would soon come in sight of the pond, but they walked a long distance before they caught a glimpse of water through the woods. "There it is!" shouted Fred, and the three left the path and dashed through the brush to the shore. But no one was -in sight. "Perhaps they're round that point," said Roger. i ■ . The bovs and the dog made their way along the shore, and finally they gained the cove behind t 6 point. No one was there ; they shouted, but no answer came. _ "I don't believe this is the nghr pond!" declared Fred. "It doesn't doesn't look like the one. This must be the lake. Let's go back. Together they found what seem ed to be the path that they had followed followed ; they turned their backs on the lake ; but they had not gone far before the trail began to grow dim, and at last the boys could not tell whether they were walking in a real path, or in one of the narrow runways that deer and rabbits make. Then they noticed that the sky beyond the tree tops was covered covered with dark clouds. A storm Was coming, and they were lost ! They tried to find the path again, but it seemed to have disappeared completely. Skip was worried also, also, as they could see from the way in which he whined and looked into their faces. Then the first big drops of rain began to spatter through the trees, and the forest suddenly grew dark. "We must go somewhere," said Roger, trying not to let Fred notice notice the tremble in his voice. It began t-o rain harder, and as the boys trudged on, the woods seemed filled with the sound of the drops pattering against the • leaves. Suddenly Skip stopped before a huge fallen log. Sniffling as he went, he led them round to one end, where they faced a wide opening, and without a pause Skip walked in. . "The rain won't touch us if we follow him!" cried Fred. He crawled crawled into the hollow log on hands and knees, with Roger close at his heels. Inside there, was space enough for them to lie down. Skip curled up on the dry, rotted wood at their feet. Roger and Fred lay close together, together, with hands clasped, wait? ing for the rain to stop, and wondering wondering how they could find their way back to camp. But the rain did not stop, and with night black darkness came. The boys grew drowsy in spite of their fears, and finally fell asleep. The next thing that they remembered remembered was hearing a sharp bark. Then they «at up. The water spaniel spaniel was snarling and growling.as he never had before, and there, in the round opening at the end of thé log, was a black shadow with two shining shining eyes looking straight at them. Skip leaped forward. There was a strange grunting sound, a sharp yelp, the noise of something crashing crashing through the brush, and then the water spaniel came back, whining whining a little, and growling gruffly in his throat. - The brothers were trembling as they patted him- "Good Skip ! whispered oger. "You drove him away. You wouldn t let him hurt us, would you?" They sat for a long time, hardly- daring to move, while the water spaniel still growled softly. At last daylight'came. Tàe rain had stopped, stopped, and they crawled from their strange shelter. In Skip's nose were two queer thorn-like things, that he kept trying to scrape away with his paws. Roger pulled them out carefully, and the tears came into both boys' eyes at the pain they could see that it caused their pet.

In a moment they heard an answering call, and ran toward it. Over a ridge, Happy Lewis, father father and Uncle Frank appeared, and the boys were so happy that they had hard work to keep from crymg. , , . , V On the way to camp the ooys tola of the adventure in the night, and about the two queer thorns that Roger had pulled from Skip's nose.

Mother graves' Worm Exterminator will drive worms from the system without injury to the child, because its action, while fully effective, is mild BEAUTIFUL WORK OF NATURE Wonderful Falls of Kaietenr in South America. Dr. H. E. Crampton of the American American Museum of Natural History, writing in Harper's Magazine of his visit to the falls of Kaietenr in South America, and which rank among the greatest in the world, says : "Then came the first close view of Kaietenr. Eeaving my colleague,| Dr. Lutz,, to look after affairs a£ Tukeit, and taking provisions and equipment for a field base on the Potaro above the falls, on July 19, I climbed the steep walk of the gorge to the high plateau above. The path debouched; from the forest on to a rocky plain bearing very little soil, and, guided by the roar of troubled waters, I proceeded to the brink and looked out upon a work of nature whose beauty is unsurpassed. unsurpassed. . .

When Sir John Millais was painting painting "Chill October," among the reeds and rushes of the Tay one afternoon a voice from behind a hedge asked, "Man, did you ever try photography?" "No, never," said Sir John, and he continued to paint slowly. "It's a hantle quicker," said the voice. "Yes, I suppose so," the painter agreed.
