HeBGoBLINS A BLESSING.

Infants Whose Days are Haunted by Giants
| and Bears.
I The best results of fiction for the
young are to be found in the enrich
ment OF the imagination, not in the cul-
, tivation of the moral faculties and the
genuine nursery literature is so clearly
imaginative that no healthy minded
child mistakes such moral lessons as
may be drawn from it. For my part, T
should rather trust the morals of the
young to the most improbable nursery
tales than to the lifelike, hateful nara
tives or real life in which the daughter
in-law is set against her mother-in- law.
Is it worse for an impressionable
youth to contemplate the ingenious de-
pravity of the wicked uncle in The
Babes in the Wood" than to imbibe
from the latest, most improved fiction
the insidious poison which makes him
critical of his own parents disciplinary
methods with him, says an article in the
atlantic, because they differ from those

10 draw upon my own recollections,
my childhood was haunted by bears.
They were not bears out of books, so far
as L can remember, but a childish for
mula for the dark unknown which is
apt to frighten every little stranger who
comes alone into this great world of
ours.
Many an hour have I lain awake in
an ecstasy of trembling lest the sonor-
GUS breathing of the sister asleep at my
side should be loud enough to rouse
;he dire beasts from their lurking
places. Yet those hours did not "em-
bitter my infancy" nor do they now in
retrospect cause me poignant grief.
What does shame me is the remem-
brance of other hours of that same pc
riod when was trying to adjust my
emotions and actions to an agreement

est acquaintance at the time.
l am aware that there is another side
to this subject. There are ignorant
nursery maids capable of embittering
any infancy by their manner of intro
ducing hobgoblins to it; but so long as
there is mother love in the world there
will be mothers wise and eloquent
enough to act as the guides and inter-
prefers of childhood in its excursions
into Fairyland, and children who will
rejoice to their latest day in the goodly
heritage they possess in the realm which
is ruled by an aristocracy of Red Riding
Hood and her peers.

he cared not whittier. He would not
be truculent; he would look him square,
ly in the eye while he told him every
bitter word, even to the last one.
He looked up, resolved and intent
upon his purpose But just inside the
door which had been closed behind them
stood another man, a stranger. George
recognized his presence at the same in
slant, and turned angrily upon the in
truder.
What is your. business. sirT' he de-
manded "This is our private office"
"Very well. My business is private:
at least 1 suppose you would rather have
it So"
"What do you want?"
For answer the man threw back the
lapel of his coat, disclosing the bright
shield of an officer.

AS time passed he grew more and

brooding over the remembrance of those

He had got up and was holding her
hand in silent farewell. He looked at
her searoh:ngly and made movement
as if to draw her toward him. Then he
raised her hand to his lips, let it fall
again gently and went away.
The trip south did not serve much to
divert him. He felt a sense Of isolation
from his fellow passengers felt as if in
some way he were marked man; fan
cied that they could discern from his
bearing that he had been in prison. This
made him morose. and more than once
he was inclined to turn back. But he
kept on, finally deciding that he would
go down where George was, get his
money out of the business as soon as
possible and 80 abroad, where no one

The One-Cent Coin.

Few of the present generations have
any knowledge how the present one
cent piece came into circulation. Prior
to the civil war the coin which repre-.
sented one cent weighed exactly half an
ounce. There were plenty in circula,
ton for the population at that time.
But when the war broke out it seemed
as if coins of all denominations had
been swallowed up. Tokens of various
kinds We're made first of cardboard
then of metal.
A small coin about the size of the
present one-cent piece was produced,
having upon it various devices such as
Not one-cent, y" Good enough for de-
fence, Our country forever. From
six hundred to one thousand varieties
of these tokens were made and issued.
As they were taken to represent
cent by everybody, those who had cop
per enough on hand, and could make
or procure moulds or dies, realized
good profit from the making and issu-
ing of these tokens. The size and
weight were convenient, and the United
States Government saw that the people
were better pleased with the smaller
piece, although comparatively valueless,
than with the one-half ounce coin.
AS the object was to keep the sub
sidiary coins in the country, and as the
people were content to use the smaller
pieces, the experiment was tried in tho
issue of the turkey buzzard' mixed
nickel cent. They were larger, thicker,
and heavier than the present cent, and
did not please as well as the tokens had
pleased. After trying two or three is
sues of the nickel coin, some with the
Indians head. the United States Gov
ernment decided upon the present style
of coin.

SILVER DCCKWING GAME BANTAM AND
WHITE CRESTED BLACK POLISH.
White Crested Black Polish when we'll
bred are strikingly handsome fowls.
They invariably command the admira-
lion of visitors to poultry shows who
may indiiferently pass by the more com
mon breeds and wonder what it is in
pure bred fowls that so many people
profess to fancy, The Polish, or Po-
lands. as they used to be called. have
been bred pure for many years, as they
are one of our oldest members of the
standard family. But old AS the breed
is, thoroughly good specimens are none
too plenty. Fancicrs who delight in
breeding for fine points, and who prefer
a fowl that when they do succeed in
getting it up to a high standard will be
something they may well be proud of,
often find much recreation and genuine
pleasure in yard of White Crested
Black Polish.
