Surrounding the effigy. Reverse, the
same as former pieces. The coin was
again, beginning with this second issue,
reduced in size by one-sixteenth of an
inch. There was no further change
until 1889.
In 1884 there were also two distinct
issues of the quarter-eagle; the first was
identical in every detail, except date,
with the coin of 1921. The second is a
reduced fac-simile of the last described
half-eagle, the only difference being the
exergue: "215 D." These designs were
continued in use until 1910.
The coinage of eagles was resumed in
1888. The diverse of the new piece Of
that year, presented: A Liberty head,
facing to the left, hair done up in knot,
and curls falling over the neck, a coronet
upon the forehead, bearing the word
"Liberty." Around the edge of the
field are thirteen stars. Exergue, 1888.
Reverse: An eagle with the q. S.
shield upon its breast, an olive branch
and three arrows in the talons. Legend:
United States of America; exergue, "Ten
D." In 1866, a change was made by the
introduction, on the field Of the reverse,
above the head and between the wings
of the eagle, of a scroll inscribed, ain
God We Trust" and this constitutes the
only change that has been made in the
Half-eagles in 1889 were struck from

when the scroll, with ain God We Trust, 4"
was introduced upon the reverse. Since
that time the only variations have been
in the dates of issue.
The quarter-eagles of 1910 were made
RI hn 10 IN,
pearance, having the coroneted Liberty
head, ETC., as described, with exergue

been no further change to the present
time.
The double-eagle was first coined in
1S49, being authorized by act of Con-
gress, dated May of that year. It's
weight was ordered to be $40 grains, and
fineness 900. The diverse of the new
piece showed a Liberty head, facing to
the left, hair in knot, curls falling
about the neck; the head carries a cor
onet on which is inscribed Liberty"
thirteen stars are around the edge of the
field, and exergue, 1S49. Reverse: An
eagle with wings expanded and elevated,
on its breast the United States shield; a
divided scroll, passing downward on each
side, bears the words, "E Pluribus
Unum;" a halo, or blaze, extends
wing, inclOsing thirteen stars; in the
talons are grasped barbed arrows and
an olive branch. Legend, "United States
Of America. Exergue, Twenty d"
The same devices were continued upon
the coins of this denomination until
1866, when the motto, an God we trust,
was inserted among the stars, inside of
the halo circle. No further changes were
made until 1877, when the exergue on
the reverse was altered to read twenty
dollars" and the style then adopted is
still continued.

weight was fixed at 25-s grains, the gold

PEcULIAR rNFATuArIoN.
Different Methods OF following the
Injunction Love One Another"

Do men ever. fall in love with each
other?
Women do. Not long ago a young
woman in New Jersey was married to
youthful laborer on her fathers farm.
Sometime afterward it was discovered
that the husband was a female; the
young wife refused, however, though
earnestly entreated by her friends, to
give up her chosen consort. The strang-
est part of the discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband was a.
woman before she was led TO the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange
infatuation for one of their own sex,
they at least often give evidence of the
fact that they love one another.
1t is a proud possession-the knowl-
edge that one has saved precious hui
man life. Meriden, Conn, is the home
of such a happy man. John h. Pres
ton, of that city, July 18th, 1890, writes:
give years ago I was taken very sick,
I had several of the best doctors, and
one and all called it a complication of
diseases was sick four years, taking
prescriptions prescribed by these same
doctors, and truthfully state never
expected to get any better. At this
time 1 commenced to have the most
terrible pains in my back. One day an
old friend of mine. Mr.. R. T. Cook, of
the firm Curtis & Cook, advised me to
use Warmers Safe Cure, as he had been
troubled the same way and it had effect
ed cure for him. L bought six bottles,
took the medicine as directed, and am
day a we'll man. am sure no one
ever had worse case of kidney and
liver trouble than had. Before this
was always against proprietary medi-
cines but not now, oh, no."
Friendship expresses itself in very
peculiar ways sometimes; but the true
friend is the friend in need.

The second $50 "slug" is generally
similar to the first, but is much more
finely finished, and the error of transpo-
sition is corrected to read, Augustus
Humbert, Assayer of Gold, California,
1851. The "Fifty D." is also changed to
Fifty Dolls. In both pieces the edge is
grained, and the reverse, in each variety,
shows peculiar and intricate lining,
but bears no inscription.
A twenty-dollar piece, circular in form,
with diverse similar to that within the
circle of the "slug," except that the
scroll is inscribed 500 Thous.. and the eX
cirque reads Twenty D., came, in 1853,
from the San Francisco Assay Office. Its
reverse bears the same web-Work of
lines as the $50 piece, but across the
center is an open space on which is let
tered in three lines: United States Assay
Office of Gold, San Francisco, California.

design with the last described, bu t hav-

date, 1852, in the lettering of the re-
verse, is another specimen of this par
ticular coinage, all Of which is marked
by the grained edge, and all Of which,
too, are invariably found equal to the
weight and ineness claimed.
A three-dollar gold piece was author
lied by act of Congress, dated Feb. 81,
1853, the weight to be TIA grains, fine
ness 900. The first coins of this denom-

verse is: A head, representing an Indian
princess, with hair lightly curling over
the neck; head crowned with a circle of
feathers, on the band Of which is in
scribed Liberty, and around the edge,
as legend, United States of America;
reverse: a wreath of tobacco, corn,
wheat and cotton plants occupy the
field; in it, in three lines, appears:
Dollars: 1854. No change was ever
made in these dies except for date of year.

It is comforting to know that the
danger of being buried alive exists al
most solely in the imagination. Yet this
fear haunts the minds of SO many of
our fellowmen that it may hardly be
regarded as strange, in some respects,
that number of physicians in city
near Philadelphia banded themselves
together to devise means to prevent
such catastrophe in their own case.
And when physicians could take such
measures in view of supposed dan
ger, it is not remarkable that the com
munity should have a special and ex-
aggerated horror of being buried alive.
But this horror is as unreasonable as is
the timidity of the physicians referred
TO. There seems to be no good ground
whatever for supposing that it is pos,
sible, In this enlightened age, for any
person to be committed to the grave
while yet living. Stories reporting
such occurrences are by no means rare;
but any one who examines them closely
will certainly remark that they are
wholly lacking in originality, and that
there is in fact so strong a resemblance
between them as to excite the suspicion
that one has been copied from another.
Investigation will show, too, that this
suspicion is a well-founded one.

Offers and minks were very scarce
in Connecticut a dozen years ago, and
it was feared the animals might become
extinct, for their hides were worth
from So to so piece, and everybody
hunted them. Then suddenly fashion
changed her mind about the value Of
mink and otter skins, the price went
down, and now the animals abound in
the State again. So numerous have
minks become there that they are get
ting to be quite familiar with country
people. Recently a mink, frightened
by a sharp thunder storm, fed out of
meadow, rushed into a farmers dwell
ling, and raced from room to room IN
til hound caught him upstairs in a
chamber A still more remarkable In
cident occurred in Hartford few days
ago. A mink trotted right into the
heart of the city, among throngs OF
people on the streets, and passed all
kinds of dogs with impunity, and fin.
ally made his way into the back yard
of a big store on Asylum street. In the
yard men cornered him and tried tc
capture him alive, but he fought sc
desperately that they had to kill him.
