People, you will find upon it the true
portrait of IN American eagle that was
for many years familiar sight in the
streets OF Philadelphia. PETER" one
OF the finest eagles ever captured alive,
was the pet of the Philadelphia mint,
and was generally known as the mint
bird" Not only did he have free ac-
cess to every part of the mint, going
without hindrancc into the treasury
vaults where even the treasurer of the
United States would not 20 ale. but
he used his own pleasure In going
about the city, flying over the houses,
sometimes perching upon lamp-posts in
the streets. Everybody knew him and
admired him; and even the street BOYS
treated him with respect. The govern.
ment provided his daily fare, and he
was as much a part of the mint estab-
ltshment as the superintendent or the
chief coiner. He was SO kindly treated
that he had no fear of anybody or any
thing, and he might be in the mint vet
if he had not sat down to rest upon one
OF the great fly-wheels. The wheel
started without warning, and Peter was
caught in the machinery. One of his
wings was broken, and he died a few
days later. The superintendent had his
body beautifully mounted, with the
wings spread to their fullest extent; and
to this day Peter stands in n glass case
in the mint's cabinet, where you may
see him whenever you go there. An cx-
act portrait Of him as it stands in tho
case was put upon the coins named.

Civilization has not carried us entire

While we will not openly admit, says
the Pittsburgh Commercial-Telegrap
we arc superstitious there are very few.
who can say they are entirely free from
it.
n great many people believe sew
enth son has some occult healing
power, but it is not generally known
thet q particular ceremony must be OBJ
served ut the moment of the infants
birth in order to give him his healing
power. The person who receives him
in his arms places in his tiny hands
whatever substance she decides he shall
rub with in after life, and she is very
careful not to let him touch anything
else until this has been accomplished.
If silver is to be the charm she has pro-
Vided siX-penny or threepenny bit;
but as the coinage of the realm may
change possibly during his lifetime,
and thus render his cure valueless, she
has more likely placed salt or meal on
the table.
Sometimes when the parents arrange
that he Is to rub his own hair the father
knecls down before his newborn son
and the little fingers are guided to the
head and helped to close upon a lock of
hair. It is essential that whatever sub
stance seventh son rubs must be worn
by his parents as long as they live. Not
long ago Dublin shopllccper, finding
his 0rrand boy very dilatory in his
duties, made inquiries rs to the cause.
To his surprise he found that the boy
being n seventh son of n seventh SON
was often wanted for his services among
the poorer classes and was consequent
lY detained.
