Tn. Typical American.

The typical Americans have all been
western men, with the exception, let MS
say, of Washington. Washington had
not had much of European culture. The
qualities that made him great COM
mander and great president were
qualities which would have made him
an equally great frontiersman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton or Madison
or Livingston or John Adams or the
Pinckneys living tolerably ON the from
tier. They are not Americans in the
sense in which Clay and jackson and
Lincoln arc Americans. We may wish
that the typical Americans of the past
had had more knowledge. more Guilt
waited appreciation oi the value of what
was old and established, jngter view
of foreign nations and foreign politics;
that they had been more like Webster
and less like jackson, and We may hope
that the typical American OF the future
will be wiser and better poised. But in
the meantime the past is TO be under.

The smooth raised edge around the
face Of modern coins, and inclosing the
device as a frame incloses picture, not
only adds great deal to the beauty Of
the piece. but serves double utilitarian
purpose. first TO protect the designs from
wear, and second to afford horizontal
surface so that the coins may be piled
mp vertically one on top OF another
without danger Of topping over. A.
soon as the raised edge Is worn from a
coin il loses its clear beauty Of design
