The En- glish Mint.

The coinage of English money is carried on at
off the coins for the whole British empire and
colonies with the exception of Australia; the
latter, and the East Indies, are supplied from
branch mints at Sydney, Melbourne, Calcutta
and Bombay. The English mint strikes also
gold coin for Newfoundland; silver coins for
Newfoundland and Canada; bronze pence aud half
pence for Jersey and nickle coins for the West
Indies. Sovereigns were first issued on July l,
1917; forms were introduced in 1919, and copper
coinage was replaced by bronze in 1860 The
present standard for the fneness Of gold coins
was established in the reign of Charles Ii. 1t is
not generally known that it is compulsory for
every person TO cut break, or deface" any coin
rendered to him in payment which is below the
the loss. This law, however, is never enforced.

Francis D. MouIton's Curious Assets.


A downtown bbliopole was asked yesterday
whether there was any demand among collectors
OF rare manuscripts for the budget of Beecher's
letters in the Tilton scandal which are among
the effects of the late Francis D. Moulton. He
replied that he had standing order from one
rich collector for rare historic manuscripts, and
that if he could he would bid literally for the
Beecher letters. and would be glad to take them
on speculation if his principal did not wish them.
The ''letter of contrition,' he added, would in
good times be worth from $500 to 81. 900, and he
thought that some of the others which contained
phrases that have become colloQualisms would
have good sale.

A Carpet Worth More OLD than New.

A precious carpet has been destroyed in San
Francisco. 1t had covered the floor of one of the
rooms of the mint, and had been used for five

was more precious than when it was new.
