COINS OF THE PAj»T. * Gold Piece* That Were Once Common. Out Are Nww Karel? Seen. Rc.-ent mention of the disappearance of the ¥2.50 g. Id piece from dn-ulati :i and tbt premium this coin commands as a curio has set many to rummax..l4 in old pocketbooks and bottoms of cash boxes and drawers in search of odd or out of date coins Seme have found a $2.50 piece, but not many, Ike $3 piece, once quite common, but always a sort of curiosity, is oftener found, and many have specimens of the little gold coins representing 25 cents and 50 cents which were not minted by the government and probably Jiave not so much gold in them as they represent. They used to pass as coin, but were never in general circulation, being so easily lost that they soon became scarce. One of the handsomest coin relics seen is a $lO gold piece bearing the mint stamp of 1799. It is larger than the present $lO piece. The owner has it hung in a band and wears it as a charm on his watch chain. The owner says he refused an offer of $15.) for this relic. The oki octagonal sso pieces were quite common in California in early days, when gold dust was largely used as a circulating medium. They were made of pure gold. and. while they had not the elegant finish or the gold coins minted by the government in these days, many still remember them as the handsomest coins they ever saw. Many people now would consider them handsome on account of the SSO in them.—New York Tribune.

BURNING THE YULE LOG. Th? Custom One of Ancient Origin* The Vule Candle. The custom of burning a large log of wood which is known as the 5 ule log is very ancient in its origin. All through the middle ages every farmhouse, cottage and castle in England burned its Yule log upon the hearth, the log being dragged in with much ceremony. At Yuletide when the great log fiamed In chimneypiece and laugh and Jest went round. The word "Yule” itself seems to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon "Geol.” meaning December. Earlier still the Yule, or midwinter, feast is seen in its most flourishing state among the Norsemen, who commemorated the fiery sun wheel with a mighty feast. They believed that during the twelve nights from Dec. 25 to Jan. 6 they could trace the actual movements of their great Odin, or Odhlnn. the god of storms, and other deified beings on the earth. The Yule log. with its cheery blaze, comes to us across the centuries as a dim memory of the fires lit to celebrate the setting out of the sun on his northward journey toward the light and warmth of summer. A large candle known as the Yule candle used also to light the Christmas eve festivities. It was a bad omen if the candle burned out before the evening was at an end.—Detroit Free Press. ALWAYS BE &NGUINE. Keep to the Highways and Slfon the Baek Alleys of Life. Keep to the broad highways of hope and cheerfulness. Expect to succeed. Think success, and you will succeed. Keep out of the back alleys of gloom and pessimism. Join the procession of the cheerful, the willing and the hopeful. Be sanguine. Know the pleasures of living. Enjoy the sunshine of hope. Keep away from the scavengers and ragpickers who infest the back alleys of life. Your pessimist is your scavenger, your ragpicker. He may be a necessary evil, a boil as it were on the body social, but too much of him Is fatal. He never gave the world a smile. He never contributed to the good cheer of any human being. He never lifted the gloom from any distressed soul. He is the antithesis of progress. He is the pollywog which in the evolution of life is continually dragging backward toward the slimy past, resisting the progress of development which must go on with or without him. Beware of the encroachments of the carping, pessimistic spirit. It is a hardy plant It takes root easily in the mind, and, like the thistle, when once it gains a foothold it is well nigh impossible to uproot it, but it cannot live in an atmosphere of sunshine and cheerfulness. Therefore, keep to the highways. Keep out of the back alleys.—Exchange. Children’s Weight. Some curious experiments have been made at one of the royal philanthropic Institutions in Copenhagen. For some years back the seventy boys and girls in the place have been carefully weighed every day in groups of fifteen and un der. Thereby it is proved that the children gain weight mostly in autumn and in the early part of December. From that time till the end of April there is scarcely any Increase in weight. More remarkable still, there is a diminution till the end of summer. Hob«on*R Choice. Tom—l’ve been bidden to her wedding, but I’m not going. Dick—But your absence will surely be noticed. Do you think you can afford that? Tom—Well, when you can’t afford to have your presents noticed your absence is imperative.—Philadelphia PreM. Where It Should Begin. “But why do you have your hero marry in the first chapter?” they asked. “Because.” replied the author, “it has always seemed absurd to me to end a novel just where a man’s troubles really begin. That’s where you should begin the story.”—Chicago Post. When a man teils you that all women are delusions and snares, it's doughnuts to fudge he has been snared by a delusion.—Cooking Club

The Table* Turned. A sterv is told of a high Indian officer who was in the habit of soundly thrashi'-Df his stv.uKs when they dis Pl. ;'—<l him. One day be ordered his khausamah to go to a summer house in I the compound and wait for mm there, presently turning up with a heavy horsewhip. He then addressed the ot fender: . “Now, you scoundrel. I’ve got you in a place where no one can hear, and 111 just thrash you within un inch of your life!" Thf servant. though a man of powerful physique, squirmed, native-like. “Sab. you sure no one can hear; “Yes. you scoundrel; I've brought you here on purpose!” “Then. sah. I think I thrash you. And he did it so thoroughly that bis raster was not visible for a week. The Humorous Suabiano. “Next to the Americans." said Max Nordau. "I think that the Suabians are the most humorous people in the world. A Suabiau if he has nothing funny to say keeps silent. Stupidity is unknown among this race. “One night in Suabia in my early youth I called on a Suabian maidan. She was very pretty. Perhaps I stayed longer than I should. Suddenly, at any rate, the young girl's mother called in a loud voice from upstairs: “‘Gretchen! Gretchen!’ “ ’Yes. mother,’ Gretchen answered. “ ’Gretchen, it is very cold here. Will you ask that young man to shut the front door from the outside?’ ” An Unselfish Husband. Conjurer (pointing to his cabinet)— Ladies and gentlemen. I now call your attention to the great illusion of the evening. I will ask any lady in the audience to step on the stage and enter the cabinet. I will then close the door. When I open it again, the lady will have disappeared, leaving no trace. Husband (to his wife!—Matilda, my love, do oblige the gentleman and walk up.—London Telegraph. a Solar Plexus Blow. Mr. Staylate—l was going to call last evening, but I understood you were out. Miss Patience—The idea! I wish you had called. Mr. Staylate—Ah, you were really at home, then? Miss Pa tience—No.—fUiledelphia Press. Poland China Hogs for Sale Both sexes, large, growthy fellows of a large litter; something that will do the farmers lots of good, at farmers’ prices.
