Only some melted snow-f1akes,
That on the walk do lie,
And threateneth no evil
To any passer-by.
Only a wind all freezing,
That goes by in trice,
And 10! that snow, once melted,
Now changeth into ice.
Only an idle urchin,
Who chanceth by to pass,
And slideth on it deity
Till it is smooth as glass.
Only thoughtless walker,
Who looketh not before,
That steppeth on it lightly,
Then seeth stars galore.
Only cry of anguish,
And sputterings one or two;
And then a gush of cuss words
That makes the air seem blue.

The history OF the early mint resembles
the early lives of our most successful
millionaires in that it commenced to
make money in small amounts and in a
very humble way. The threestory struct-
ure, 81 and 80 North Seventh street, was
chosen as the site for the United States
mint, and there it remained from 1892
until 1888, when it was removed to its
present location.

agitated as early as 1852, when Robert

Garrett, of Baltimore. The silver quarters
of 1928 and 1927 are almost impossible
to find, and unused examples of these dates
would be eagerly bought at $3.50. The
rarest early American coin, however is the
gold hali-eagle OF 1915. In this year, dig
astrOus fire having occurred at the mint,
number OF dies were moved to Lancaster,
and owing to the confusion incident to
their removal and the lack of proper facili-
ties but few pieces were coined.

RARE AND VALUABLE COINS.

No pennies of this year have ever been
found. Should a genuine one turn up it
would doubtless bring an enormous sum.
OF the half-eagles but three have found
their way into collections, two of these
having been discovered in an old stocking
and sold to a New York broker twenty-five
years ago. The cabinet OF the United States
mint, which was begun as early as 1885,
although containing an almost complete
series OF American gold coin, could not OBJ
tain this date. 1t has quite recently made
valuable and important acquisition in
securing from II. p. Newlin one of the three
specimens in a remarkably fine state OF
preservation. The others are owned by
Mr.. Garrett and L. G. Parmelee, of Boston,
the latter being one OF the oldest collectors
and having cabinet OF American coins
alone valued at $4,000. 1t is stated that
another 1915 haH-eagle is in the collection
OF the Swedish mint The value OF each
OF the pieces is estimated at $500.

to its present site on Chestnut street, be-

TIE NEW CABINET,
By the Grace Of Lord Parneu.

The new English Cabinet as officially
announced on wednesday is as follows
Mr.. Gladstone, prime minister aud frs
lord OF the treasury; Sir Farrer Her
schell, lord high chancellor; Earl Spen
cer, lord president Of the council; NH !
/ 6. "a. Chill dtars, home secretary. Ear
Roseberry, secretary for 0ieign affairs;
Earl Granville, secretary for the colo
MES, Earl Kimberly ,sesr etary for India;
Mr.. II. Campbell Bannerman, secretary
for war; Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
chancellor Of the exchequer; the Mar
quis of Ripon, first lord Of the admir-
atty; Mr.. J.. Chamberlain, president Of
the local government board; Mr.. Geo.
Trevelyan, secretary for Scotland; Mr..
A. j. Mundellay president of the board
of trade; Mr.. John Morley, chief secre-
tary for Ireland. The following ap-
pointments have been made under the
new administration; Earl Sydney, lord
steward to the queens household; Mr..
Arnold Morley, patronage secretary;
Chas. Russell, attorney general. The
composition Of the new cabinet has
caused great surprise. 1t is thought
to show marks of q compromise. The
Daily News considers the new ministry
q strong one: and especially approves of
the appointmentof the Earl Of Rose
berry and John Morley. 1t says the
selection of the Earl Of Kimberly for
the Indian secretaryship is the only
choice that is likely to meet with neg
alive approval. The absence Of Sir
Harrington from the cabinet is matter
of regret, which may, however, at no
distant date be removed. The Standard
says: Mr.. L Gladstone in forming his
cabinet has made the best Of bad sit
uation. The members are men OF ull-
doubted ability. The selection Of for
eign affairs was the best that could be
made, and promises well for the good
will Of Germany The appointments
most likely to elicit criticism are those
