THE MJTILATION OF COIN.

The mutilatiou Cf silver coins has be-
come Il matter of SerinuS Importance to
tie public. There has been more or less
mntiIation ever since there WAS coin. bus,
until about three years ago. the noles
were only punched in silver and gold for
harmless purpose. with no idea OF gain.
There was never any difficulty in passing
these mutilated coins. 1t was noticed
about three wear ago that the market was
being filed with punched coin. 1t was
asceltained upon investigation that there
was wholesale system of punching GO
ing on for the abstraction of bullion.
WHERE THE COIN Is PUNCHED.
The operators in slipped coin have
principally worked in Philadelphia. New
York and st. Louis. At other points
coin mutilation has gone on. but not to
the extent or with the system that has
characterized the operations in ST LOUIS.
New York and Philadelphia. In New
York the mutiation has been carried on
bv bard of Cuhans They have reduc-
ed the work to Il science. In mutiiating
the coin they take from each piece about
one twenty-tifth OF the bullion contain
ed. They place about a hundred coins
of the same size in shell or tube. ON,
oll top of the other. This shell is then
placed standing upon a drill worked b,
machinery. The drill goes straight
through the stack Of coin and punches
out piece from each. These pieces fall
into a receptacle placed below to receive
them. As most of the people engaged
in this punching operation are traders il
a small! way they have until recent,
passed the punched coin at par valne
without any trouble.

Inconsistencies ON the Stage.
Peaks sun

There is no person in the world that
is easier satisfied to overlook the incon-
sistencies that show themselves on the
stage ut theaters than we, but once in a
while there is something so glaring that
it pains us.
We have seen actors fight duel in a
piece of woods far away from any town,
on the stage, and when one of them fell,
pierced to the heart with a sword, we
have noticed that he fell on a Brussels
carpet. That is all wrong, but we have
stood it manfully.
We have seen woman on the stage,
who was so beautiful that we could be
easily mashed il we had any heart left
To spare. Her ewes were Of that heavenly
look that has been written about here
tofore, and her smile was as sweet as was
ever seen, but behind the scenes, through
the wings, we have seen her trying to
dig the cork out of a beer bottle with
pair of shears, and ask supe, in harsh
tones, with a gentle oath, where that
corkscrew was, while she spread mustard
on piece Of cheese, and finally drank
the beer from the bottle, and spit the
pieces of cork on the floor, sitting strad-
die of a stage chair, and her boot heels
upon the top round, her trail rolled up
into ball. wrong side out, showing dirt
from forty different stage floors. These
things hurt.
But the worst thing that has ever
occurred to knock the romance out of
us, was TO see girl in the second act,
after twelve years is supposed to
elapse," with the same red stockings on
that she wore in the first act, twelve
years before. Now, what kind of way
is that 1t does not stand TO reason
that girl would wear the same pair of
stockings twelve years. Even if she
had them washed once in six months,
they would be worn out. People notice
these things.
What the actresses of this country
need is to change their stockings. To
wear them twelve years, even in their
minds, shows an inattention to the de-
tails and probabilities of play that
must do the actress an injury, if not give
them corns.
Let theater goers insist that the stock
ings be changed oftener in these plays,
that sometimes cover half century,
and all will be more at their ease, and
the stockings will not be mOtheaten.
Girls, look TO the stockings, as your
audiences do, and You will see how it is
yourself

Bismarck's Alleged First Love

Correspondence of the Pesti Hiriap
For some months there resided in the
family of neighboring land proprietor
lin the TOrontal tomitatl II lady, past
the age of 90, who in her youth was Bis
marcks first love. She was born at
Greifswald, where her parents let rooms
TO young students attending the univer-
sity in that town. About the year lSi0
certain Count St, who later on
made a brilliant military career, lived at
their house and frequently received the
visits of fellcw student from the Agri-
cultural Academy. This visitor was Otto
Won Bismarck, who soon conceived
tender affection for the ~ year old
Josephine the daughter of the house,
and manifested his sentiments in serren-
ades and similar spectacular tokens of
his affection. Owing to some unpleans-
ant little conflicts with the academical
authorities, he was obliged to leave
Greifswald, his departure, however, in
no way preventing him from addressing
the most tender and touching epistlcs 10
the sweetheart left behind. In one of
these missives he formally sued for
Josephine's hand, which, however, was
promptly refused HIM by the parents,
who strongly objected TO give their
daughter to $50 i'll reputed young
mon." Thereupon, in 1912 the CORES
pondence ceased altogether. Josephine's
parents. who had met with sad financial
reverses through the instrumentality of
their own spendthrift son. emigrated to
America minnesota in lSl5, and after
wards went TO Brooklyn to live, where
in 1852, after much reluctance on her
part, Josephine became the wife of a
Hungarian emigrant and dealerin petro
