exchanges to break the force of the
fact that the prices of the necessar;es

hold bunch of arrows and in the
other an olive branch of peace. In his
baak are streamers inscribed with the
national motto "E Pluribus Unum,"
and encircling the eagle near the edge
of the coin are the words. Omitted
States of America" Beneath the tail
feathers of the eagle in raised letters
is inscribed half or quarter dollar &C
cording to the denomination.

of James G. Blaine, is quoted in the
dailies as saying that "Mr. Blaine is

When [ began to attend Mr.. Blaine
last spring he was suffering from an
acute illness. He was in very bad
condition and completely broken down
by overwork. did not know what the
outcome would be. Now there is no
doubt in my mind, for Mr.. Blaine's
health is excellent. He is back to his
normal weight. He has a good appe-
