The arch8ologist of the Chicago Trib-
une, in porting over ancient tones, disoov-
cred that Hit with a brick" is not an
Americanism, but had its origin in ancient
Rome. The standard coin in Rome was
the aes, or libra, and it weighed pound.
1t was the shape of a brick, and when the
influence of a Roman senator was wanted
it was obtained bygiying him libra, and
his constituents alluded to him as being
hit with a brick" Hence, it seems,
there was a financial question in ancient
Rome as well as in modern America.

said he might be good lawyer but not
an expert bookkeeper. The result was
that the same paper which published
the item regarding julie Marsh and
Rodney Conger printed full account
of Joe Harmon's vindication.
In the meantime Joe Harmon was
trying in the excitement of money get
ting to drown his grief. He hungered
for some word from his old home and
had a news agent secure for him an oc-
casional copy of the Washington Index
He chanced to get the very copy con-
tanning his vindication, but his joy over
that was killed on the instant by hap
pening TO see the item regarding julie
and Rodney.
An issue received some time later
stated in plain terms that the wedding
was to take place after the ball on the
coming Washington birthday celebra-
ton. Wild with anger and jealousy,
the desire was instantly born in his
heart TO be present at the ceremony
and confront the faithless julie.
At last 1t occurred TO him that IL he
could be present as the drum major
he would be sufficiently disguised. The
wedding day was To take place in the
hall just before the dance and he knew
the band would be there in full dress.
He acted on the idea and the day be-
fore the celebration he reached Charl-
ton and from there was able To- make
satisfactory arrangement with the
present leader of the band. For a con.
sideration the man, stranger TO Joe,
agreed To make himself scarce at the
proper moment and let Joe take his
place. The scheme worked 20 perfec-

of the band undiscovered and unsus-
pected. The signal was given and Joe
waved his baton, when the band struck

Joe flung off the hands which grasped
him and threw his big hat upon the
floor, crying out; julie, don't you know

Then up went a great cry of Joe
Harmon! Joe Harmon and with one
eager look, with one little cry of ''Oh,
Joe!' julie fell in his arms and cried.

In the morning people had wished
that Joe Harmon was there TO lead the
band. Joe Harmon had come and the

the happiest affair ever held in that
hall, and that tenth anniversary of the

The "Mint House" of Boston.

The "mint house" IL Boston existed
about thirty-four years. All the coins
issued from it bore the dates 1852 or
1862, the same dies being used, prob
ably, throughout the thirty-four years OF
coming. Some coins had been made
in Bermuda for the use CT the Virginia
colony as early as 1914 Copper coins,
bearing the figure of az elephant, were
struck in England for the Carolinas and
New England in 1854. CONS were also
struck for Maryland, bearing the ettigy
of Lord Baltimore. A mint was estab-
llshed at Rupert, VT, by legislative
authority in 1885, whence copper cents
were issued, bearing on one side pillow
and sun rising from behind hills, and
on the other a radiated eye, surrounded
by thirteen stars.-Boston Cultivator.

The Dorset sheep has become exceed
ingly popular in the last two or three
years. This popularity is due to its re-
markable tecunditv and its habit OF
breeding at any time of the year, thus
producing lambs that may be sold at the
holiday season, when all the luxurles OF
the table are in the greatest demand. 1t
is somewhat strange that this sheep has
been so long neglected, but the low price
of most farm products has been spur
to enterprise in this direction, and this
useful sheep may now be considered as
fully naturalized on this side Of the At
lantic.
This sheep is wbite-faced, in fact all
white, and has a close, short fleece Of
four to five pounds and tuft on the
face. It's mutton is next to the South
down in general estimation, but the car
cass is larger. The most valuable char
acteristic, however, is the early breeding,
taking the ram in the spring and rearing
lamb in the fall, SO as to be fat for

holiday in England, and more thought
Of, perhaps, than here. They breed

produce two, and generally multiple,
births within the year. The second
lamb, however, is generally not pure
bred, but cross intended for mutton,
and for this purpose the spring lamb is a
cross commonly of the Southdown, and
it is sent to market as such, on account
of the greater popularity of this black
hroo1 in Eprl1Ch markets. There
is unquestionably wide place for this
valuable breed in America, where the
sheep industry is not nearly so we'll de-
veloped as it should be.-New York

The Andes Slowly Sinking.

The startling announcement is made
that the whole range of the Andes is
slowly sinking into the earth's crust. As
proof of this La Gazette Geographique
says that Quito was 1896 feet above the
level of the sea in the year 1745; in 1900
it was only $50; in 1881, 1867. having
sunk twenty-six feet in the tifty-five
years following 1745, and but three feet
during the thlrty-one years which inter-
vened between 1900 and 1881. In 1868
the city's level had been reduced to
$500 feet above the level of the Pacific
Ocean. To sum up the total, we find
that Ecuador's capital has sunk seventy
six feet in 122 years. Antisana Farm,
the highest inhabited spot on the Andes
$4,000 feet higher than Quito itself,
which is the highest real city on the
globe), is said by the same authority to
be 21S feet lower than it was in 1745.

The Yosemite Valley in Winter.

Snow storm follows snow storm.
Winter has spread his icy mantle over
the Yosemite. The mighty cliffs and
domes look down upon the valley as in
the summer months, but it is with for
bidding stateliness and with threatening
aspect. How changed the scene and
different the attractions! The smiling
vale is no longer gay with gorgeous
bowers and bright with green meadow
lands; no longer is it resonant with the
hum of busy insects, the murmuring
lullabics Of slumbering streams, and the
Joyous songs of summer birds; zephyr no
longer whispers to the pine fronds as he
floats softly through the forest; and echo
no longer repeats the EXPLANATIONS Of
glad visitors The MERGED rolls its
swollen current impetuously through the
valley, flooding many an acre of the
meadowland-for rain as well AS snow
has fallen; the woods are hOarse with
protesting against the ferceness Of the
storm blasts; the snow-slide holds the
behOlder in awe as it races with the
waterfall in its downward plunge, and
slabs of talus and unshapely chunks of
rock loosen their hold Of their parent
cliff as water and weather do their work
and are washed with din and headlong
speed down into the valley. 1t is true
that such terrifying storms do not occur
with frequency, but one such was wit
messed by Mr.. Hutchings and his family
during the winter of 1867, when they
were the only residents in the valley.
On that exceptional occasion the rain
poured down necessarily for ten sue
cessive days; all the meadowland was
covered with a surging flood; large
trees were swept over tie ridge of the
Upper Yosemite aud shivered into frag-
ments on the granite rocks, and pines
and cedars were blown down and piled
in confusion upon each other by the
wind storm that followed the rain.-

WHEAT FOR FOWLS.

Wheat is a grain that lens like and,
in moderation, should have at all sea-
sons. In the wheat fields after harvest
they naturally seek and live the greater
part of their time picking up the loose
wheat found about the stubble field. For
laying hens this grain fed in the morn
ing three times week will do much to-
ward bringing them into condition to
lay. Too much, however, has tendency
to fatten rapidly, retardlng laying. Good
old wheat is always cheaper food than
screenings. Barn-foor sweepings are
nearly as good.-American Farmer.
