Two You've GIRLS SUDDENLY LEAVE HOME
AND CANNOT BE FOUND.
On Saturday afternoon, about two O'Clock,
Young lady, about Is years OF age, residing ON
W.st second street, sisted to her mother that
she was going to spend the afternoon with
friend. and started out. Nothing unusual was
thought of the occurrence, until the approach OF
bed time, and her non-appearance began TO Il u
the heat Of the mother with uneasineas. Ihe
hour grew la,e, and the maternal anxiety IN
creased TO such an extent, that messenger was
sent TO the place where she proposed to spend
the afternoon, when the astounding intelligence
was received that the girl had not been there
at all. ,,,
A vigorous search was then commenced. The
residences OF all her acquaintances were visited
but no trace Of her whereabouts could be ascer.
| tainet. Telesrams were sent 10 friends an"
relatives in Chester and Philadelphia, but the
an swer came back that the girl had hol beer
seen. All day. yesterday, the search was con-
btinued, but up to this morning, no clue ot he'
disappearance could be oblsed.
Upon examination at home i, was ascertainet
that some Of her clothes were m'ssine,bn1 as sh'
took no bundle with her when she went ont it i
not known whether this can rghtiniy be c"ll
pied with her disappearance or not
S me time during the evening, it was dI-cov
cred that another young girl, living in the sam
neighborhood, was also missing. The searc
for her whereabouts has been, thus far. a
f,u,,less as the other. The two girls have bee
extremely intimate, for some time past, and In
general supposiion Is that they have gone oil o

Apples,

With us the value of an apple as an ar
ticle of food is far moderated. Besides
containing large amount of sugar, mucil-
age and other nutritious matter apples con
tain vegetable matter, apples contain vege-
table acids, aromatic qualities etc. which
act powerfully in the capacity of refriger-
ators, tonies and antisceptics and freely
used at the season of mellow ripeness. they
prevent debility, indigestion, andayert with
out any doubt, many Of the ills to which
the flesh is heir>-The operatives Of Corn
wall, England, consider ripe apples nearly
as nourishing as bread and far more so
than potatoes. In the year 1sO1-whieh
was a year of much scareity---apples were
sold TO the poor, and the laborers ascertain
ed that they could stand their work on
baked apples without meat, whereas potato
diet required meat aud other nutritious
food, The French and Germans use ap-
pies extensively, az do the inhabitants Of
all European nations. The laboren de
pend upon them as an article Of food and
frequently make dinner Of sliced apples

Effect of Rum on Chickens.

A French doctor has recently been max
ing some curious experiments as to the
effect Of alehohol on fowls. The birds
took TO dram drinking with evident delight,
and many an old cock consumed his bottle
of wine day, so that ii became necessary
to limit the allowance. They all lost flesh
rapidly, more especially those which drank
absinthe. Two months of absinthe drink
ing was found sufficient to kill the strong
est cock or hen. The fowls which indulg-
ed in brandy alone, lasted, however. four
months and half; while the wine bib.
bers survived for ten months Their crests
also swelled to four times the original size,
and become unnaturally red. The PaR
.NaH Gazette, doubts whether man is JUS
titled in trying experiments with the dumb
creation with the view Of aseertaining how
far he may himself venture 10 get drunk
with impunity; but having proceeded thus
far, be may as well go a step further, and
by the introduction of the teapot into the
hen house find out whether there Is any
ground for the suspicion entertained in
some quarters as to the innocent properties
oftea. A few experiments in late hours
might be made with advantage at the same
time. A party of carefully selected cocks
and hens might be allowed to mingle in
the festivities Of the London season, return
ing to their roost at the hour when they
usually commence to caekle and crow. II
would possibly be found that one week Of
political reunions, concerts, balls, and crush
es, would be as disastrous in its effects as
two months Of absinthe drinking.

thiHy-four years. Subsequently this mint
was given up, and coins we're struck in
England for the New Colonies as well as
the Carolinas.
In 1862, an act was passed in Mary
land 'for the setting up of a mint within
the province" though the law was never
carried into operation. Lord Baltimore,
however, had coins struck at home aud
sent over, bearing appropriate colonial in
scriptions. Eighty years later than this,
King George l. attempted TO introduce
into all the Colonies the circulation of coins
made Of "pinchbeek, giving to one VIII
liam Wood by royal patent, the right to
make them. We are told that "he had
the conscience TO make thirteen shillings
out of a pound of brass. This was called
Woods money" and was Indignantly re
fused both in America and in Ireland.
In 1776, New Hampshire passed laws
for a mint, which, however, was never es-
tablished. But Vermont did establish
one in 1885, at Rupert, at which, not only
coins of her own were made, but subse-
quently few Of the earlier coins Of the
Federal Government. Connecticut also,
in the same year established mint at n.
H., where afterward three hundred tons Of
the first copper coins of the Federal Gov.
eminent were made. New jersey estab-
lished two minis in 1897; one at Elizabeth
and another near Morristown. Massaehu-
sets, in the same year, rc-established two;
one on Boston Neck and one in Dedham.
These are some of the mints Of the early
days, but it would require more space than
we can spare, to describe the various coins
which they issued.
The plan of the National coinage was
presented by Jefferson in 1856, and, with
few changes, was the same as is still
continued. The designs upon the coins,
as is well known, have been quite frequent
ly altered The first cent, of which the
large quantity above mentioned was made
in New Haven, had on one side a chain of
thirteen links, with the words Omitted
States around it, and Eve are One" in
the centre On the other was sun-dial.

Business, below. This was perhaps the
most unique design and inscription of any
in the whole series of coins, which com
Prised, besides the two copper coins, FIVE
silver and three gold. One silver and four
gold coins have since been added The
weight of the copper cent has been four
times reduced; at first it weighed two hun
dred and sixty-four grains, or a little over
half an ounce. The gold coins have been
reduced in weight once, and the proper
ton of alloy also changed An important
reduction, it will also be remembered, was
made in 1883, in the silver coinage
