with too good success, said Dora, com.
ing bravely forward. Nov, Mr.. Con.
MELTON, l want to know if you are always
in this-this shape? l thought ghosts
can make themselves invisible if they
try?"
"They can. l can, answered Connell-
ton.
well, I'll tell you what we will do for
you, said Dora, for really it is too cold
weather to turn even ghost out of
doors if you will make yourself invisible
you can have the use of this room free
until spring. You don't mind renting
out room, do you, John, so long as we
don't get any pay for it?"
Yes do, Dora, said Lindsay. Its
just like your generous heart to offer to
keep Connellton, but we can't afford to
do it. Now be off with you.
SO Connellton arose and his lessened
figure crept deiectedly downstairs and
out of the house.
Just before he opened the front door,
he gave Mrs. Lindsay one of the large
sealskin gloves. He threw it down at
her feet. Its trophy, "he said mourn
fully. Keep it for my sake.
Dora Lindsay put big bow on it and
tied it round the middle with a piece Of
ribbon, and keeps it UP over one corner of
the mirror in the dining room chamber as

Ex- Governor Swineford says the re-
sources of Alaska have never thoroughly
been looked into by the Senatorial com.
mittees sent to visit the country,
And they never will be-" said Mr..
swineford, when United States Sena-
tors are sent to look over the ground.
Two committees were sent to Alaska dur
ing my administration. but they did
nothing but play poker and view the

country, and days when they were sup
posed to be gathering material for good
report of the condition of things to be
presented to the Senate they were en-
gagged in the pleasant pa" te of playing
a $25 limit game. No committee was
sent to Alaska this year, and it is just as

speaking ON THE Christian in Conver-

3 $50 the tongue also is little mem
and boasteth great things behold how

Vose said in part An unbridled tongue
is dangerous Ii interferes in family
life and turns happiness To bitterness.
Ii was once said that there are two
things in this life about which we should
not worry: First, the things we can
help. and, second, the things we cannot
help.
Ii is often thought that in the home
one can talk in the plainest of ways.
The conversation of home should be free,
healthful and instructive. The Lords
prayer recited at meals makes life sweeter
and makes us more forgiving. The
candid friend most Injuries our feeling.
Idle words should not be spoken. Jeer-
ing words often ruin mems souls. Much
of the teaching of Christ was 10y talking
Many men have initiated Him. The
words that mothers have spoken to their
sons have moved the world. Words are
deeds if they have n soul in them and
are the only things that live forever.

NEW COINS IN TWO MONTHS.
Designs So Fine That They will be I'm
possible to Counterfeit.

Designs So Fine That They will be I'M
possible to Counterfeit.
ror the past six months the Director OF
the Mint has been engaged In selecting
designs for the new Issue Of dimes, quar-
ters and flfty-cent pieces authorized by
the last Congress. These designs have
now received final approval.
The designs selected are entirely differ
ent from any Of those that have appeared
on the coins Of the United States, and
have been selected from over 800 drawings
and photographs which were submitted to
the department. They consist OF female
head on the diverse OF the coin and a
symbolic device Oh the reverse, as at pres
ent, but the position and details of the
canoes are essentially different from any
yet issued.
In making the dies for the new coins
the government has adopted, an entirely
new process. and the aid OF ssnachine will
be called on to execute work that would
be impossible for the most expert die
sinker to accomplish.
In making the first models OF the design
the artist takes q quantity OF white wax
and mixes IL with proportion OF resinous
gum. To this mass is added vermillion
enough to give it brilliant red color, and
Lueu tne ulALuTe Is kneaueu unCeT warm
water until 1t Is perfectly homogeneous.
When this bright red wax Is ready for use
the artist sketches the groundwork OF his
design on large piece OF slate and pro-
ceeds to make a cameo many times the
size OF the die he intends TO produce.
With skil!ul fingers he moulds the wax un-
I'll II approximates the contemplated de-
sign. and then he brings a number Of
little lockwood gravers into play With
these he brings bis wax model up to a
high state Of finish, but even then he is
not satisfied. and TO complete the work no
tool Is delicate enough.
The gravers are thrown aside, and with
the nails Of the thumb and little finger OF
the right hand, which are allowed to grow
very long, and are pared TO the desired
shape with a razor-like knife. the work is
completed. With these two nails the hair
OF the female head is finished up, the ex-
preston OF the eyes is corrected and tho
fine line work OF the design on the reverse
side OF the coin Ia made
The artists who do this work are as
careful OF their hands as piano vlrtuoso.
They never dream OF carrying anything
as heavy as an umbrella for fear that its
weight would injure the delicate sense Of
touch necessary for the use of the thumb
and little finger nails.
The models OF tho coin thus made are
ready for the machine which makes a re-
duced copy In the shape OF dies from
which the coins are stamped.

Bishop Johnston Mt st. stephens.

At st. Stephens Church last evening
the Rt. Rev. j. S. Johnstone, Bishop of
Texas, spoke on mission work of the
Episcopal Church in that State. He
said \: BY the spirit of God is it that
good results are accomplished. Ny own
bishop once said, The efforts are ours.
the results belong TO God After 1900
years of waiting what do you suppose
Jesus Christ is most interested about
II is that He shall see this world rescued
from sin and redeemed to God.
Americans should be interested in
Texas for there has been done some of
the most gallant deeds ever recorded.
The work has been most gratifying.
Where there were six churches there are
now thirty-one and where there were
five ministers there are now eighteen.
The communicates have increased from
800. five years ago, TO 1000 at this time,
and there are now two schools when at
that time there were none. In other
ways has the work gone on and SO let
MS not talk of expenses when souls are
being saved for God and let us do what
we can to shed light on the dark places
of the earth.
