a NEW SEAL,


The New Device Which Authenticates All
Governmental Documents.
The new die for the great seal of the
United States, which was received at
the United States Department of State
on April u, and has been used on com
missions since then (the first on which
it was used being that of Mr.. Jordan,
the new Treasurer of the United States)
is only the third one accepted for and
used for the purposes designated by the
law which ordered it in 1899, and which
readOpted the design first ordered in
1882, since the latter date. The new
die which conforms more strictly to the
letter of the law designating what the
national coat-of-arms should be than did

in 1871, and is more aristocratic than
that of the first die made, all three of
which are now in the Department of
State, and which ! have lately COM

hOgony case, and the press for making
the impression on papers, and the die
itself. one thousand dollars. 1t was or
dered a full year ago. and was made by
Tiffany IL Co., in New York. Its case
is five feet eight inches high, and about
half as wide and deep. The original
die had thirteen arrows in the eagles
talon, as the law expressly stipulated,
but when, in 1871, the old one having
become worn, a new one was made,
somehow it happened that only six ar
rows were put in the eagles talon.
Nevertheless, the seal was accepted and
used until the new one arrived, with all
the arrows the law required, on April
u. So now we have our national
culver full of arrows. But, better still,
the new seal can, by a special arrange
ment of the machinery, cause the
eagles head to turn in any direction a
treaty may require when its impression
is to be stamped upon one With the

DAISYS BIRTHDAY.

How They Found Out What She Needed
Very Much and Had SO Long ''Spected."
Daisy is little girl who lives in
Providence, r. L, and I suppose some
of the children who read this story will
laugh, and say; "Oh, my! How funny Z!
We knew all about this in the time of
it. 1t was little Daisy Vineron, you
knew"
Long before Christmas Daisy had
been saying, very wisely; Il 'spect to
have sled, Trismas, and a wax doll !"
And she called one day on her sister
Lou, who was Just married, and told
her she "'spectcd the doll would have
a pink dress, and she cOnfided to her
brother Tom, Louis husband, that she
"'spected the sled to be a green one. y
So, of course, it happened that. among
the many gifts on the Niueron Christ
mas-tree, Daisy found the expected
sled and doll. She was delighted. and
danced about like Il fairy; but as she
loaded her sled with her presents, she
said with little sigh of regret: Here 5
my doll and oranges and candy and
popcorn balls and A b C book, but |
'spected somefing else"
1t was in vain they all coaXed. Daisy
kept her own counsel in her own curly
head. She often said, however: at is
stwange, because it is somefing ! need
so much
On New Years Day another deluge
of presents came to surprise the dainty
pet There was q white kitten, with
blue ribbon round its neck; pair of
white mittens, with swan down around
the top; a satin hood trimmed with
swan s-down, and, best of all, Daisy
thought one for the wax doll Just
like it.1
They are beautiful" SAID Daisy,
''and L flank you, but they WASH t

Daisy had heard her mamma say: 81
do hope the children, in buying gifts
for me, will remember my needs this
year, for | need certain articles very
much. Daisy was coaxed again by
brother Tom and by al the other
brothers and sisters IN vain. She would
shake her sunny head and purse up her
cherry lips and say: 1t 5 stwange that
you can't see for yourselves what |
need"
The weeks rolled by until the spring
days came, when the sled and mittens
and hood where laid away for another
winter.
'Daisy's birthday comes this week, :"
said Lou, one pleasant May Sunday aft
ernoon, when all the family were gath

and Sunday-school.

'Don' t they give fings to good girls on

out now, but she shook her head grave
ly, as usual.

BETTlE'S BEAN-BAG.
y Kind Little Sister, and What She Did
for Her Brothers.

for Her Brothers.
"Plcasc make me a bcan-bag, NAM
ma"
Bottie's brothers had a small gym
nasium in which some of the neighbors
boys came to play with them, and had
great fun with bean-bags
Mamma took piece ofstrong, coarse
netting which lay in her work-basket,
and sewed it into a bag, Bette thought
it nicer than those the boys had, for
when she went to put the beans ill they
showed through.
When mamma sewed it up she went
out to play with it, and found it very
nice indeed, much nicer than a bail, Tor
it was easier to catch, and never hurt
her hands.
Il do hope every mamma makes q
bean-bag for her little girl" she said to
| herself
1t got dirty very soon, though, with
being flung freely about the garden
paths and the dusty porches. Bette
made up her mind it wanted washing,
so she laid it under the pump and gave
it good soaking. She thought it looked
very much improved, and set it care
| fully away to dry
'And FL wash all the boys bags"
she said. "What nice little sister
| they Il think am!'
No one saw her as she brought them
all by turns and gave them thorough
shower-ba1h, then carried them back to
the gymnasium, and piled them up as
she had found them.
The next day She went for her bag
but what had happened to it?
1t seemed so crowded full of beans
that it was as hard as Il ball.
Laws, chile.' said old Dinah, with a
smile at her little disINayed face; don t
yer know beans Il allus swell when yer
vets 'em?"
is it all spoilcd?" asked Bette,
looking ruofully at it.
"Mebbe dey'lI shrink if yer dries it,
| but mcbbe not"
Bette laid it on the piazza in the
bright sunshine, and went to see what
her little brother Ray was so rery busy
about on the lawn.
Way NOW gass," he said, working
very hard to push his mother carpet
sweeper over the green turf.
She tried to help him for a while, but
it did not seem to NOW well, so she
went back to look after her bean-bag.
1t was harder than ever, and she flung
it away and forgot all about it.
Two or three days later the BOYS
came to have "a Jolly bean-bag fight,
as they called it. A great cry went up
from the gymnasium.
''Hello! What in the worlds the
matter with our bean-bags?"
washed en-, said Bette, looking
very penitent as the damp, moldy,
solid things We're brought out.
Mamma laughed very heartily, but
not a boy laughed until she had promised
to make dozen new ones.
''What are those coarse-looking leaves
growing among the ciematis-vines?"
asked mamma, about month later.
81 Il see, " said papa. "Bean-leayes, :"
he said, going nearer. "But how could
they have got here? I'll root them
out
He hunted about at the foot of the
tTplliS, behind thick sweet briar bush.
This seems to be the root of the
natter he said, bringing out a square
muddy mass from which bean-vines
were growing.
Its my bean-bag!" cried Bette
