"What if it ie?" said Miss Royston, fashingi defliance upon him fromi her eyes. ''It is nothing to you." "Nothing"?" Ie cried.

There is (uite a full collection of Ancien Doinls onl view in New York, 1t is quito evident that early English -oins took something of the Greek designs md later the Roman, though very much hanged. OH mniny early coins the fable of .he wolf suckling the twins is repeated, but t requires a very ingenious amount of num amatic acquaintance to discover it. This murious diversi m in art Is shown by Evanis n his "Ancient British Coins." Originally .he fine coinage of Phillip was used as type a Britain, but gradually worse copies being nado from bad imitations, in time all sem 3lane of the stater was lost, until only the ,rown, throwhig locks, and an ear became visible. There is nothing more remarkable ,han this transition in art from the really nblime to the ludicrous. Those barbarians vho invaded Macedonia after Alexander, hough having Greek art constantly before t heir eyes, did exactly the same thing as the 'arly in 's. Of ancient British coins here are two examples, of Anglo-Saxon uoney some 12. There is a Danish silver >enny of Cnut or Canute, both rare and fle; >t William the Conqueror there are three xamples, the Wi'llam being rendered, as s usual, Pillem Rex, both P and V having men use' I or V. There Is a rare silver >enny of Rufus, which both Ruding and Inwkins have declared to ie authentic, for L has always been more or less troublesome o make exact, differences between the mon y of the Conquerer and his illfated son. Ato Plantagenet money, reiarkably good .nld varied; is represented by soe 29 pieces. I n the first of thercigns of this dynasty the .1 nonnayer struck not only his own name on he piece, but that of tihe town where the i oin was issued; after Edward ii., only the I own appears. in tIe Tudors there are 35 aeces. The No. 44, a shilling of Edward e TI., 1549, is the earliest piece in the col- I 'etion which hears a date, but the Edward's >f 1517 also hmd the ditte. The No. 51 of .a lie same King, 15,53, a gold sovereign or t louble rial, is the first dated English gold oin. There are some good examples of ammered monicy. The Stuart collection, vith Oliver Cromwell and the Common vealth, with the Stuart Pretenders, is large ad of exceeding interest. The No. 70, a ames 1. gold rose to riil, though a flat lece, is distinguishable for its art, showing hat iclief is not always necessary in order r produce effects. There are numerous leces of Charles I. which are very good, nd in excellent preservation. The No. 86, shilling, is a fine type of Briot's skill. I here is an exceedingly rare piece, a silver ound of Charles I., 1642; also one of the e nmie date of a half.pound. As it is often tated that the pound is an Imaginary unit, is worth while calling attention to these a wo pieces. There are always som good v ileces of the time of Oliver Cromwell, the vork of a dye-sinker called Sion. It is, 0 ierhaps, strange that this name recalls a t amous Greek ar.tist, who left his impress ii the finest of all Greck coins, the money t ,f Syracuse. There is a strange bit of num- t mutic his.tory attached to these coins of ,romwell and the Coummonlwmealtlhi Haw- I ins. the author of "Tle Silver Coins of - ingiaid," an excellent -book of reference, aft out in his work all mention of Crom mell, for he wias in 1841, when his book V vas prInted, too good a royalist to al.low hat the greatest Commoner of the world ad ever existed at all. No. 118. a gold wo-guinen piece of Charles 11., is a rare iece, Tiho guinea was introduced when {ew-Netherlands was taken from the Dutch. e n this department of the collection there b 3 a satirical ' medal, representing Queen milo as Dlalllah, cutting -off the hair of 1 ouls XIV., (or was it lils wig?) the King r s Samson. 0On the reverse, the King, who as has gout, is dancing to the Queen's 1 arp. The Hanovarian succession, of p ourse, is very full, and has innumerable, I are, and curkus pieces, for it is not always lie coins wvhich are near to present times I vhichi arc the easier to obtain. Onastronmes In the Tyrol.. Tfhroughiout South Germany the English r raveler is apt to complain of the prominent a >lace wvhich veal occupies among gastrono- g ale materials, and Tyrol is no exception o the rule. It must be said, however, f hat much ingenuity is displayed in varying t lie forms in which it appears. Moreover, y is a fact that other kinds of aninal food re obutainable. Beef is tolerable, ham anid f 'aconf are miuch better than an Englishman, f vhto is ap~t to think that swine's flesh Is t uncatable on the Continent, wvould suppose. ~hamois, when fresh (which it seldom is. t hat served at tables ('hoto being preserved hi rom the p~revious winter in picklc), and j oc are yory tolerable. But it is in her mdhigs that the Tyroleso cobk displays ecr genius. M. Albert Wolff, Frenchman ' hough lie is, hats rendered homage to the ~ xelence of the Tyrol mnehlspcisen, and C heir variety is Inexhaustible. Let not the english hotusewife, however, hope to "pick fi mp a wrinkle," unless she be one wvho can ii ontemplate wvithoumt dismay the use of a a lozen eggs and a pint of cream to a single ish. It is on the unlimited supply of the e ngredienits, as well as on her own skill, a hat the Tyrolese cook relies. In the mat- 1 er of drmk the strangers wvIll fare 'is evoll a1 ,s elsewhere. Just as In Switzerland, thero .re two kids of wine-red amid white- I >oth very decent when not too new; but j hey are not, as in Switzerland, bottled and i zbolled according to the price which the z onsumer wish,.s to pay. Till recently, lie regular measure was the #citel, about wvo-thirds of a pint ; but of late years the t ire and Its fractions have come into goe a al use. .. A 5wieoti Diamond Test.
