The New Small Coins.


THESE coins, as they really are TO be,
will give us homogeneous and systematic
series, doing away with all the copper,
bronze, and low nickel alloy in the easiest
possible manner, and with the least posi-
ble departure from what already exists.
In The first place, all are TO be Of the same
material-the rich nickel alloy, of one.
quarter nickel, three-quarters copper,
which the experience of this country in
the present fye.ce and three cent coins,
and that of Belgium in her entire set of
small coins, have shown to be eminently
suitable for this use
Secondly, The weight of the flve.cent
coin remains unchanged at five grains, and
that of the three-cent coin is altered but fit
tie, only enough TO raise IL to three grains.
The one-cent coin will now, for the first
time, be brought into accordance with the
other subsidiary coins, but the proportion
of weight was not adhered TO because one
grain appeared In practice TO be rather
too light. For the contrary reason II was
decided not TO issue ten n.cent coin of this
alloy, since a colt Of ten grains was
thought rather too heavy for convenience.
Thirdly, The devices Of the present
three-cent coin have b, en- adhered to for
the entire series, those devices being, per-
haps, the handsomest that have yet been
engraved at our mint, and equal to the
best produced anywhere, both for design
and beauty of execution.
The new coins are 10 be redeemable by
the Government, and any of the old coins
are TO be taken in exchange for them.
They are to bo legal tender for all purpo-
ses to the amount of one dollar, except for
payment of duties on imports.
1t may not be generally known that
nickel approaches so nearly to the pre-.
cious metals in its chemical properties
that some distinguished chemists, writing
shortly after its discovery, or rather after its
production in the metallic condition, claim.
ed that it should be ranked among the pre-.
cious metals, aud though that claim has
been exploded, its whiteness, unaltcrabil
ity and beauty give it deservedly high
rank among the metals. It's market value
is nearer that of silver, than silver is tc
gold.-Phiidddphia BNletin.

How TO Split Wood Easily.

A GREAT many hard.working men, who
have never been accustomed To commit
their ideas To paper, understand that any
kind oi firewood, or timber that is being
split into oveu.wood, or riven into slaves,
or wagon spokes, will separate much more
easily when split slab fashion" than
when separated in the direction from the
heart toward the sap portion of the log or
stick. There is philosophical reason for
this, When stick is split "slab fashion" !"
the parts are separated between the annual
concentric Gircles of the tree, one of which
Is formed every growing season. The
union between these annual LAYERS, or
rings of wood, is not so perfect as il is be,
tween the particles which form ring or
circle of the wood. Inexperienced labor.
ers and boys do not always understand
how much advantage may be taken of
their haId labor, when splitting wood, by
understanding this fact When a log is
sawed into short cuts, for example, 10 be
split into tirewood, two iron wedges and a
beetle would be necessary to open cut
through the heart But by taking of thin
slabs, most OF the splitting may be done
with only an axe, Sugar maple sometimes
is 50 difficult 10 split through the heart,
that a laborer may drive in all his wedges
and gluts without being able To open log
four feet long whereas, were the cut
slaObed, the splitting could be performed
with comparatively little labor. Then,
after n log is split into thin slabs, the labor
of splitting the slabs the other way will
be comparatively light,-Relrh sad

hold q good cutting edge When the
blade near the cutting edge is ground too
thin, the steel will turn over, thus forming
a festherejge, or break-out. After the
blades have been properly ground on a
stone that runs true, the edge will be
coarse and the knife will not cut at all
satisfactorily until the edge has been made
more perfect by means of fine.gritted
milestone. A coarse stone is very un.
suitable thing for putting knife in order.
A good oil-stone, that will cost fifteen
cents, should be employed by every family
when putting knives, shears and scissors In
order. Such a milestone will save vast
deal Of perpleKity. An expert carver will
not take the keen edge off his knife, the
first slash, by drawing it across bones, but
he will keep half the edge sharp by using
the heel Of the blade to cut among the
bones 49, Erckdage.

Skating.

THE following paragraph from the
Philadelphia Age is commended TO the at.
tention of parents
Skating is admirable exercise. It brings
all the muscles into play; fills the lungs
with fresh, pure air; hardens and braces
the constitution, and invigoratcs all parts
of the human frame. But, like all other
exercises it should be taken in moderation,
and with proper surroundings Four or
five hours on the ice, with the thermomc-
ter down in the teens, is too severe q tax
on the lungs, especially of young or old
people. 1t does harm instead of good.
Then, again, that amount of mere physi ca
exercise is more than should be taken, if
beneficial results are expected. In some
cases, also, comfort, as far as clothing is
concerned, is sacrificed on the altar of
fashion, and young gentlemen and ladies
appear in costumes more fitted for the
ballroom than the river or the rink.
Colds, coughs and consumption follow, as
a matter of course. These cases are bad
enough; but they are, if possible, over
matched by the conduct of parents in ex.
posing little children on the ice for hours
with insufficient clothing. This is prac.
ticc that cannotbetoos severely condemned.
Many children are killed in this manner
each winter, When people indulge in
winter sports, let them prepare for the oc.
casion in a suitable manner, and then no
bad consequences will follow. Especially
let them take care of the children.

Funny thing baby is,
With its little wrinkled phiZ,
Scarce hair upon its head,
Notified, purple, white and red
From the cunning cherry nose
To the tiny puckered toes;
Winking at the naughty light
Iniuring it's tender sight,
Beating with its chubby fists,
Entering the crowded lists,
Little struggler in the strife
On the battlefield of life.
Truly, very certain tits
Funny thing a baby is.
But the passing days will bring
Changes unto everything.
Nature no distinction shows,
And the baby daily grows.
Scanty hair IS getting longer,
Little limbs becoming stronger.
Parents watch with longing eyes
Baby freaks with sweet surprise.
Thus in loving rivalry,
Eager each the choice to be,
Long before the child can walk,
In that wondrous baby-talk
Ooty, gogen, da, da, da,

'Tis no matter; that will quite
Depend upon IDS appetite
Charming little mystery,
Worthy of history.
Maybe 1t will come to pass
That the little uniformed mass
Has mighty mission here
ON this tossed and troubled sphere,
Ii boy perhaps twill be
Greater man than you or me.
Maybe'll be to Congress sent;
Maybe mako President.

She the scepter yet may wiold.

Win for her a golden prize
But the issue none can tel,
Be IL III or be IL well;
Yet a truth most certain tits,
Funny thing n baby IL.

An English paper says; at is some
what hard upon railway companies that
they should not only be heavily amerced
in damages for injuries caused by acci-
dents, over many of which they have no
control, but it is still harder that they
should be called upon to prosecute travel
ers who inflict injury upon themselves by
their own rashness and disregard of the
compaDy's regulations Last week a lady
and gentleman were both fined for the
carelessness which had caused the injury
they had sustained from the absurd custom
of getting out of trains before they are
stopped. II is useless To show how few
are the seconds saved by this hastiness,
and how great is the risk incurred. The
only way of putting check to the prac-
tice is by enforcing the penalties for run
ming the risk. By all MEANS then, let the
law be enforced, and lot it be understood
that railway companies will enforce il /;
and even if its enforcement in the cases of
those who have received personal injury
be means of calling public attention 70
