Marking Light-weleht Colin.

United States Treasurer Gillian has
made statement to the Secretary of the
Treasury in regard to the manner of
marking lightweight gold coin at its
bullion valne instead Of at It's coinage
value by weight. He states that ct Is
the practice of Sub-Treasury officers to
mark gold coins, which when rendered
at their full face value In payment of
public dues, upon being weighed, are
found to be short of the weight at which
they can, under the law, be accepted at
their full face value. This is done be-
cause of the action of banks and others
In paying out ut the full face valuation
coins, which have been repeatedly re-
turned to the Treasury officials because
below the least current weight. To avoid
the labor of weighing the same coins over
again, the coins are marked when they
are rejected. The mark is in no sense q
mutilation, as it takes away none of the
substance of the coin. 1t does not de-
stroy the legal-tender quality of the coin;
nothing under the law can do that which
does not destroy the identity of the piece
rs gold coin. Gold coins however mu-
tilated or abraded, are legal tender at
their weight. The marking does not affect
their value. They are not light because
they are banded, but they are branded
because they are light. AS to silver coins,
the principle was established nearly
two hundred years ago that the public
should bear the loss upon clipped silver
pieces. There is no existing law author
izing the Treasury to take mutilated coins
otherwise than by weight, and if the his
tory of clipped coin in England in 1895
isregrarded, there probably never will
be. Since the action of the Mint in re-
eeiving mutilated silver coin at its bullion
value by weight, such coin has been dis
credited by the public. and has virtually
disappeared from circulation. Silver
coins, however much reduced in weight
by natural abrasion, are redeemable at
any Sub-Treasury at face value. It
would be small penalty or none at all
against clipping should clipped pieces
be redeemed at their coinage value by
weight. :.

The Rest RacOn.

The best bacon is made from pigs
which will not weigh more than I25
pounds when dressed. The rashers, or
strips for the bacon, are cut lengthwise
OF the pig and about half of the sides
are used. The portion next to the back
bone is fatter. and lacks in muscle, and
is not so good on this account. When
bacon Is made from small pigs-thosc
weighing less than 100 pounds-the
whole of the sides are used. Red and
Black Berkshire hogs make the best
bacon because they have the largest
proportion Of lean meat. Six pounds
of salt and four ounces of saltpeter
should be- used for 100 pounds of meat.
Five pounds Of brown sugar may also
be used, or two quarts OF molasses. IL

Fashions in Wedding Presents.

The French husband begins to pay his
brides bills before marriage. The bride
groom-elect formerly sent unmade dress
patterns" of rich materials. He now
has to present them already made up.
The brides mother usually furnishes
three gowns, the wedding dress, the trav-
cling dress, and one other, which is worn
at the family party preceding the we'd
ding, called the contract" party. The
future husband is expected to furnish all
the others, the number varying from
four to twelve. sa5ls f,.r.al.
In England the husbands share of
wedding preparations includes the house
linen. which is, of course, marked with
his family initial, and not that of the
bride. In this country we follow the
cosy German custom, though not entire
ly, for whereas the Fraulein begins to
have table cloths, napery and sheets made
up for her future wedding long before
any bridegroom makes his. appearance.
and in fact while she is still at her school
books, the American girls purchases of
hOuse-linens are the first indications that
the wedding is near at hand. There is a
great deal of pride and considerable
money to be expended in these dainty
preparations, and the poorest girl in this
country much prefers to furnish this part
of her future home stores for herself. If
the husband expects to supply her bridal
wardrobe, that is left until after the
wedding; but the French fashion is
frank enough, and there can be no decep-
ton about the cost of dressing a wife,
with these preliminary bills to pay. But
what a remarkable diversity of good
taste, or what is considered good taste, in
different countries these wedding customs
show. Though we take many fashions
from France, it is not likely this will
ever or soon be adopted here's. Louis

THE most cleanlv dressing for a bur

Inc most Clearly dressing Tor a burn
or scald is to saturate a soft piece of
fabric with alcohol, lay it over the burn,
then cover it with cotton or finely picked
oakum. 1t may be thought, says the
Boston Journdtof Chemistry, that alcohol
applied to burn will produce more pain /;
but try it, and you will be agreeably sur
prised to observe how quickly it will
allay the pain. Subsequently disturb
the dressing as little as possible; wet the
dressing occasionally with alcohol, and
the result you will find better than by
any other method. Boston Transcript.
