A strong man with steady hand will
manage this matter, and not permit
any of the liquor to get into the eyes OF
mouth If the sheep are dipped soon
after shearing, one half minute In the
warm bath will be sufficient, and four
or five men will dip 500 head in day;
the cost will not exceed five cents

If the sheep are badly affected with
scab they should be dipped again IN
the course of two or three weeks. The
lambs should also be dipped. and then

What Battered Coins are Worth.

1t is estimated by the Treasury
officials that if coin is not in active cir.
culation, or is frequently transferred in
treasury and custom transactions, S2C
gold piece should continue current fOI
fifty years, an eagle for thirty years,
a half eagle for twenty years, and 81
and $3.50 pieces each fifteen years.
Inasmuch as coin can not continue in
circulation even for Il short time with
out some loss of weight by natural
wear. Congress has established a
margin of loss within which coins will
be received at the Treasury at their
nominal value. Section II of the act
of 1873 provides ''that gold coins which
have become reduced in weight by
natural abrasion not more than one
half of one per centum below standard
weight after period of circulation of
twenty years, and proportionate rate
for less period, shall be received at
their nominal value at the Treasury
and its Offices" The standard weight
of the double eagle is 516 grains, and
the amount of abrasion allowed by law
is 2 5S-100 grains, thus leaving the
least current weight 513 42-100 grains.
The legal standard of the gold dollar is
25S grains. The legal deviation from
standard weight of the dollar is one
quarter of a grain, hence it will con-
tinue current until reduced below
25 53-100 grains. This margin allowed
by law in the case of the gold dollar
exceeds the legal limit of wear as ap-
piled to other coins by nearly one
eighth of grain. All gold dollars
coined since 1871 are within the legal
tolerance, if not fraudulently reduced
in weight. All double eagles. if not
artiiicially reduced. will be found within
the limit of natural abrasion allowed
bv law. The same is true of all eagles
coined since 1896, half-eagles coined
since 1866. and quarter-eagles, or $3.50
pieces. il coined since lSE1..
The law provides no way by which
uncurrent coins. either of gold or silver,
NAV be redeemed at their real value.
The only means at the disposal of the
holder of these coins is to present his
gold at the mint, where it will be
received at its bIlliOn value and re-
coined into standard coins, the Govern
ment charging him the actual cost of
coinage, or if he has mutilated silver
coins he must sell them to the Govern
ment for what they are worth as bull

Il GLOVE.
Yesterday I found a glove,

All, yesterday found glove, ~
Grown shabby, full OF tiny rips,
But dear to me because my love,
Once through it thrust her nnger-tlps'
glove one would not care to see
Upon his arm in public street;
Yet here own there IS for me
No relic in the world more sweet
A faint, far scent of lavender
Steals from il, as the clover sTEclt
When through the fields | walked with her
And plucked the blossoms for her belt.
Faith! but loved the littIa hand
That used to wear this time stained t5ing.
Its slightest gesture of command
Would set my glad heart fut'erlng.
Or if il touched my finger, so,
Or smoOthed my hair-why should lspeak
Of those old days? 1t makes, you know,
The tears brim over on my cheek.
Poor stained. worn-out, long wristed gioYel
think it almost understands
That reverently and with love
hold it in my trem bling hands.
And that il is so dear to me,
with its old fragrance far and faint,
Because my mother wore it, She
On eartn my love, in Heaven my saint.
