The Original Penny.

The old, old penny in England, as in
other countries, was of silver, and its
appearance throughout the earliest pc
Rod OF it's history would rather astonish
those who know nothing of numismatic
lore. From the Saxon times, in which
it was the only piece of silver extant,
till those of Edward l. it was stamped
with square cross. This enabled the
coin to be readily broken into halves
or quarters, which then served the pur-
pose of halfpence OF farthings. But
the latter coin was not much inferior to
the value of the present nglish penny,
inasmuch as the unbroken piece was
valued at one-thirtieth of mark, or
three-pence sterling. At this time five
of them seem to have made shilling,
so that the relations between what are
now chief English silver and bronze
coins have entirely altered in the course
of six centuries. King Edward. who re-
formed coinage, like everything else,
was the first to issue pennies without
the indented cross; and to make up for
the loss of the queer-shaped half-pen-
MES and farthings hitherto in use, sup
plemented the silver coinage with Cir
cular pieces, bearing the same value
and determination. He fixed the stand
ard of the penny moreover, by ordering
that it should weigh thirty-two grains
of wen-grown wheat or, which was
probably a more accurate test, that
twenty pennies should weigh one ounce.

To Keep Very Shaded Places Green.
Germantown Telegraph.


Especially in the front yards of dwell.
ings, both in town and country, which
are much shaded, we often see the
ground completely bare, not living
thing being perceptible. Sometimes
there are many nearly nude, struggling
limbs lying upon the ground or very
near it, which are unsightly and. every
way worthless, that ought to be cut
away. This would give room there for
the growing of some plant or vine that
would be adapted to it, and which
would not only cover the naked spot
and make it '.living green" but
would be adding very much to the gen.
eral appearance of the premises. The
best vine for this purpose is undoubted-
ly the periwinkle. It will grow almost
anywhere in the shade if the proper at
tention is given to it, but not otherwise.
Il is a beautiful vine. and will densely
cover the ground, producing nearly the
whole season very pretty blue flower.
Weeds, however, are its deadly enc
mics. 1t cannot fight them. Steadily
they encroach until they drive away
our favorite and occupy the ground of
battle. A little help now and then,
however, will defeat the common ene-
my. and allow us to enjoy the cool
looking, popular evergreen for many
years without renewal.

Artesian Wells in New York.
New York Evening Mail


Much interest was felt in the under.
taking, about year ago, OF boring an
artesian well under the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The drill was driven down to q
depth of 2.l00 feet, almost half mile,
but no important vein of water was
struck, and the enterprise was aban-
doned. It is not difficult, however, to
secure an ample supply OF water by
such boring. especially below Twenty
third street, the depth Of the forty q
fifty artesian wells now in use here be-
ing from 800 to 500 feet One of the
most successful is that of Bauer & Betz,
brewers, which is 500 feet deep, and
yields 1900 barrels of water daily.
The cost of an artesian well is about
5000, so that none but large consum-
ers of water find it an object to bore
such wells. Many brewers. manufac-
turers. botelkeepers, and other large
consumers of Croton, pay % water-tax
Of from $1,000 to $4,000 year; and
for them it is economy to bore artesian
wells, the water of which is free from
vegetable matter and other surface inn
purities. Its temperature. 81 degrees
the whole year, is so low that little ice
is required where it is used. Mr., Jesse
Button, the contractor, who has been
boring wells for thirty years, suggests
that artesian wells might be bored
along the Croton acqueduct to increase
the water supply. He thinks it would
oe possible to add 100000 barrels
day to the Croton supply from one well.
