A PROMINENT banker speaking of the
habit of holding coins in the mouth
while making change says: Il would
as soon pick up piece of dirt
from the street and put it in my
mouth as to hold in my lips nickels,
dimes and other coins, and think the
many women l see do it every day
would hesitate if they were to con-
S der where the coin might have been.
1t is not an uncommon occurrence for
us to receive coins so sticky that when
stacked up they adhered to each other
and we have had to pry them apart.
Sometimes have them soaked in warm
water and then washed"

result of his illness at that time.
DR.. Porter was most generally known
to the public perhaps, as the principal
editor of some revised editions of Web

of the institution were erected during
this period, including the art school.

ton of elective studies, although not at
any sacrifice Of the required course, of
which DR.. Porter was always an earn
est champion as opposed to the elective
system as it has been ella borated at Yale
His best known work as an author is
that on the Human Intellect" which
is used as text book at Yale and
many other educational institutions
throughout the country. In 1885 he
prepared life of Bishop Berkeley, fol-
lowed the next year by 'Kant's Eth
les, Critical Exposition"
DR.. Porter came OF a remarka BILE
