COINS OF THE PAST. Gold Piece* That Were Once Common, but Are Now Rarely Seen. Recent mention of the disappearance of the $2.50 gold piece from circulation and the premium this coin commands as a curio has set many to rummaging in old pocketbooks and bottoms of cash boxes and drawers in search of odd or out of date coin. Some have found a $2.50 piece, but not many. The $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 have not so much gold in them as they represent They used to pass as coin, but wer. never in general circulation, being so easily lost that they soon became Bearce. 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 $l5O for this relic. The old octagonal SSO pieces were quite common in California in early days, when gold dust was largely used as a circulating medium. They were mude 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 oil account of the S3O In them.—New York Tribune. BURNING THE YULE LOG. The Cuitom One of Ancient Origin* The V ule Candle. The custom of burning a large log of wood which is known as the Yule 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 flamed In chimneypiece and laugh and jest went round. The word "Yule” itself seems to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon “Geol.” meaning I'ecember. Enr.ler 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. t> they could trace the actual movements of their great Odin, or Odhinn, 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 Christmae eve festivities It was a bad omen If the candle burned out before the evening was at an end.—Detroit Free Pres*. ALWAYS BE SANGUINE. Keep to the Hlirhwnyß and stfaa the Back Alley, ot Life. Keep to the broad highways of hope and cheerfulness. Expect to mxveed. Think success, and you will succeed. Keep out of the back alleys of gloom and pessimism. Join the procession ot the cheerful, the willing the hopeful. Be sanguine. Know die pleaaorea of living. Enjoy the sunshine of bop«. Keep away from the scavengers an* ragpickers who Infest the back alien 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 eheer of any human being. He never lifted the gloom from any distressed soul. He is the antithesis of progress. He la 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 th® carping, pessimistic spirit. It is a hardy plant. It takes root easily in the mind, and. like the thistle, when once 1 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. Sonic curious experiments have been made nt 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 under. 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. Hoheon’a 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 ab aence Is imperative.—Philadelphia Presa. Where It Should Begin, ’’But why uo 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.
