THE BLAND DOLLAR.
Something About the Face that Is stamp
 cd Upon 1t.

cu Gpon It,
 There is a curious story about the nead of Liberty on the obverse of the Bland dollar This is said to be mod eled from the head of Miss Anna w. Williams, now instructor of philosophy and methods of kindergarten training at tho Girls Normal School in Phila- delphia. At the time the Bland dollar made its first appearance, the secret leaked out somehow, and to avoid tho notoriety the most indefatigable efforts were made to deny the fact, and even to this day it is difficult to get any of Miss Williams friends who are in the secret to admit it. Her name went broadcast over the land. however, and from almost every quarter of the globe was deluged with the most fattering offers of marriage. Miss Williams was a student of the Academy of Fine Arts when Engraver George Morgan. who made the pattern from which the dol lar was copied, was casting about for model. Some ladies among the stu dents at the academy wore selected to pose. The contour of Miss Williams features was chosen as coming nearest to the pure Grecian ideal. Before tho pattern was finally adopted it was sent to the Academy to get the opinion of some artists as to it's artistic merits. The profile was criticised in several particulars, chief among which was regarded as too prominent chin. But the authorities at the mint thought it was one of the most beautiful types of faces that was ever submitted for the head of coin. and it was adopted As to Its strong resemblance to the origin al, those who see Miss Williams often- est are best able to testify. It Is con sidered n good likeness, but drawn somewhat finer than the living modal. Mir. Morgan, by the way. is an English man. and some people insist that he managed to declare his origin in tho Bland" dollar. By holding the coin with tho date uppermost, and cover tho tiguro with the finger on line across eye to the hair, the profile developes a likeness of King George. tho chin being his nose. Holding the coin in tho same position. and covering the medallion on limo from tho base of the cap, the curl of tho hair develops lien with its nose facing left From tho II. lustrated American.

Naturalists say that tho feet of the common working boo exhibit the curious combination of basket. a brush and n pair of pinche-s. The brush, the hairs of which are arranged in symmetrical rows, are only seen with high-grade microscope. With this brush of fairy delicacy tho bee brushes it's velvet robe to removc tho pollen crst with which 1t becomes loaded while sucking up tho nectar of flowers. Another delicate apparatus is tho spoon-shaped appendaxe that receives tho gloanings that tho boo wishes to carry to the hive. Finally. by opening the brush" and tho basket" by means of neat little hinge. the two become pair of pinchcrs. which ren- dor important scrvice in constructing the cclls for reception of tho honey.

felt regarding the quality Of the entertain

dispelled before the evening wss over; fol
every one was highly pleased with the intel

whole programme was one which might be
repeated many times over to the same par

everything advertised but added consider

novelty, both the solos and trios, while the
violin solo by Mr.. Glassford showed that
