A penny is the most ancient of En-.
slish coins. The word was originally
used for money in general. 1t is first
mentioned in the laws of Ina, king of
the West Saxons, about the close of the
seventh century. and was of silver
deeply indented with a cross so as to
be easily broken in two or four parts.
1t is the radical denomination from
which English coin is numbered. weigh

tieth part of a pound. 1t is stated
elsewhere that Ethelbert, king of
Kent, coined pennies between $50 and
GIG A. d. Edward !. coined gold
pennies. In 1897 copper pennies
were used. and bronze ones in 1900,
valued at half the copper ones. The
United States coined copper cents and
half cents in 1898, in 1857 a nickel cent,
and in 1865 a bronze cent The word
penny is derived from the old German
word "phant," a pledge. 1t was the
only coin current among the Anglo
Saxons. After Edward III. the coin
decreased in value. To the lowest coin
Robert Morris gave the name Of cent"

of a dollar. Its first coinage vas in

nary pits. such as are sometimes used
in storing apples and potatoes, are
very satisfactory. The most common
way of making these is to select a
high, dry, welI-drained spot, dig ont
the earth about one foot deep, and line
with hay or straw. Fill this full and
round up the heap well. Cover with
straw, then with about three feet of
earth.
The pits may be circular or elongated
like a hay rack. They are much easier
removed when wanted for NE if a door
Is arranged at one end, so that the
frost can not get ut the roots, but
which can be opened without moving
any earth. A pit % constructed that
one end will come against the side of a
barn with the opening in the barn wall
has been used with satisfactory re-
suits. 1t is best in this case to build a
temporary wall against the end of the
pit about one foot from the main barn.
Fill the intervening space with straw
or sorSe loose material. This prevents
contact between the earth and the barn.
Otherwise the barn might be damaged.
1t also serves Il good purpose in keeping
out cold. II the doors are properly ar
ranged, this IS a very convenient plan.
The main point to be looked after y
wlntering roots is to keep them as coil
az may be without any danger of freez-
ing. If toe wsrm, they shrink, be-
come soft and lose much of their value

For real economy there is nothing
more satisfactory to buy for a tea gown
than taffeta silk. 1t may cost a little
more at the outset, but it will stand a
great deal of wear and tear, and it is
not going into the cleaners hands at
regular intervals, as is the case with
wool crepon. A particularly pretty
gown of t~affcta, in silver gray, shot
with gold, is made with a graceful
Vatican back and a full front, held
in n V-shaped band. Over the Shout
ders is n full cape continued into a
prettily drapcd fichu, and edged all
around with gold satin baby ribbon.
The sleeves are full and held in at the
wrists by bands of t~affeta, covered
with a succession of rows of the gold.

AGRICULTURE IN EUROPE.

In France asparagus must have two
qualitics-size and flavor. The soil
must possess a double propertyi it
must be light and rich. The richness
a be obtained by manurcs, but the
light quality is q purely geographical
question.
The violet crops in the south of
France gave only moderate yield this
season, not quite sufficient to supply
the local manufacturers. For several
years the violet plants have suffered
from n blight that has injured the
Towering.
EFFORTS are being made to have a
sanitarium established, as 4 landing

In Australia in growing sweet pota-

until perfectly fine and then made into
small ridges about thirty-three inches
apart from center to center, and the
plants are set eighteen inches apart
To insure accuracy n machine is made
with two wheels to mark two rows at
once, making a mark across each
ridge every eighteen inches. Between
10, 1000 and 1 1000 plants are required for
an acre. and this number of plants can
ordinarily be grown from a barrel of
