" all of our full-welght silver COINS
To remedy this evil congress. by an act
of February 81, 1858, reduced the weight
of the half-dollar from FOG grams to 1875

fractional. silver coins were legal tender
for all sums, but by this act they were
made legal tepder for five dollars only.
1t will be seen that from the founda,
ton of the mint down to 1879, gold and
silver stood upon a plane of absolute
equality as to all rights of mintage and
power of legal tender, and the unit rest
ed on both metals alike. Holders OF
gold and silver bullion were allowed.
throughout this period of more than
three-quarters of century, without
any discrimina ton whatever, to deposit
their metal and have the same coined

to the required standard for coinage.
In 1867 an international congress was
held in Paris, at which the representa-
tive from the United States, Samuel 3
Ruggles, favored a common unit of
money, which was to be gold. In June,
1868, JOHN Sherman, chairman of the
senate finance committee made re-

The act of 1878 was specially un.

assaulted Us well as vigorously defended.
Numerous resolutions were introduced
into the Forty-fifth congress to restore

congress of the United States bears date
Of April 2, 1902. This act provides for

The section referring to silver says that
the government mint shall cola dol

4-l6 parts Of a grain OF pure, or 4lG
grains Of standard silver. In this coin
age act the words dollars or unit were
applied equally to dollars of gold and

year the ratio Of pure gold to pure sill

thirty-one years after the French act of

In the Lake of the Woods country,
which may be described as wilder
ness of forest. rock and brushwood,
a race of wild dogs have esta blished
themselves and are increasing in
numbers SO rapidly that fears are en-
tertained tllat the animals will yet
become troublesome. When the
Canadian E,.cific railway was under
construction the camps of the work
men had Of course TO be frequently
moved, and dogs were often left be-
hind, and eventually, like wolves
and foxes, found means of sustaining
themselves.
The animals are large, lean, short
haired and generally red or red and
white in color. They are exceeding
ly wild and fly on the first approach
of man. In winter they live by
catching rabbits that abound in the
wilderness of brushwood; in summer
the wild dogs catch fish that crowd
the smaller streams that connect in
land lakes. The Indians detest the
wild dogs, as they pursue game and
take the bait from traps and are
general nuisance. Sometimes a wild
dog is taken in a trap that has been
set for other animals, but the beasts
are exceedingly cunning, swift and
watchful. Pilot Mound Sentinel.

A Bird That Is Feared.

The elster (pica candata) is bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs to
the raven tribe and is about the size
of dove, with black and white
feathers and long pointed tail. 1t
builds it's nest in orchards and its
life is sacred. If it is seen three
times in succession on the same house
top, in a place remote from its home,
it is believed to be sure sign of
death in that house. If it flies over
a house where any one is i'll and
gives it's peculiar cry the sick person
is sure to d but if it does not scream
the patient may recover. tits better
for the sick person if the bird does
not come near.
No one could be hired to bother
these birds for fear they might seek
revenge and if by chance one of
them should die, it is a sign of bad
luck to the owner of the property
where it was found. The bird is a
valuable insect destroyer, and in this
way probably more than compensates
for tho fear it occasions among the
farmers Philadelphia Ledger.
