Two Articles Western Soldiers Need.

Two articles western soldiers Need
Soldiers i'm actual service on the from.
tiers use two articles which the govern
ment does not provide. The one is
what the soldiers call ''slicker," a
heavy, oiled cloth overcoat to protect
the body against rain. The govern
ment issues a rubber blanket which is
inadequate, and most of the troops
wrap it around their wearing apparel
and purchase the 'slicker" at their own
expense. The other necessity is a pair
of goggles for every man on duty on
the plains and in the mountains,
whether in summer or winter. When
ever detachment is sent out during
the winter months, when the ground
is covered with snow, some of the men
are certain to be afflicted with snow
blindness, and, as long as they are in
that condition, are useless for service.
Goggles or smoked glasses, such as the
British government issues to its troops
when serving in tropical countries,
would eifectually prevent snow blind
ness and would obviate much suffering
from the alkali dust which, in large
districts OF the west, is almost as bad
on the eyes as the glare of the snow

The history Of the issue of coins in
flis country by private individuals and
companies would make very interest
ing book. When gold was struck in
North Carolina a man named Bechtler
started a mint Of his own there, which
was abolished by law in 1S49 Half
eagles. quarter eagles and one dollar
pieces issued by him were largely cir
culated in the south and west. AL
though of honest gold they were about
l-2 per cept. under value on an aver
age.
About the same time Templeton
Reid coined gold in Georgia. He moved
10 California in lS49 and minted eagles
and twenty five dollar pieces on con
siderable scale. Many companies and
reiineries In California and elsewhere
made business Of striking gold coins
during the same period Naturally
there was a great temptation to make
these coins under weight and of infe-
rior fneness. The Mormons in Utah is
sued eagles, half eagles and double
eagles. which bore on the diverse an
eye. with the legend, Holiness to the
Lord.
Quantities of twenty-fve cent and
fifty cent gold pieces were likewise man
ufactured at San Francisco, the former
containing only about six cents worth
of the metal the latter twelve cents
worth Years ago a lot of these were
taken over to Germany and circulated
there. which elected a formal diplo-
matte protest from that government.

The Future of New Zealand.


Professor George NJ Grant, writing
of New Zealand in Harper's Magazine,
says:
One is tempted to ask, for what
other spot has the Almighty done so
muchl For nowhere is there a fairer
land. Nowhere is labor more sweet or
recreation more shared in by all classes.
Every township has its park, race
course and playground; the cities have
these and everything else that can be
imagined Picnics are universal The
long summers and bracing winters make
open air amusements delightful. Sports
are taken up eagerly, from coursing
matches over rough ground and pig
stalking, to cricket, football and vol
unteering
From the beginning generous provi-
sion was made for schools and colleges,
the people-in the South island espe-
cially-having the spirit of the men
who colonized New England. No one
with eyes in his head can fail to see
that the New Zealander of today is
laying the foundations of a mighty
state, though he may not be able to
believe that one of his descendants is
likely to sit on a broken arch of Lon
don bridge and sketch the ruins of ST.
