The Con,ederats Cent.

There was only one complete die
made for the purpose OF coming
money by the Confederate States
of America" that for a one-cent
piece, which was made by Lovett,
the Philadelphia en- yraver. in 1861.
After he had finished the dies Mr..
Lovett found that he was unable to
send them to the persons that had
ordered the. work done. and becom-
ing alarmed, he ''struck off" twelve
nickel cents and then carefully Sc
cretod both coins and dies For
twelve LONG years the engraver kept
his secret, which was finally revealed
through an accident One day, in
1873. he went to the hiding place Of
his rare coins and selected one for a
pocket piece, and within the month
passed it out unknowingly to Hazel
tine, the Philadelphia restaurant
keeper. This man knowing the piece
to be Lovett's work. sent 1t to j. c.
Randall, the coin collector. After
some little difficulty Hazeltine and
Randall succeeded in buying the die,
and from il they struck ffty five
copper pieces. twelve In silver and
seven in gold. This accomplished,

MYsreRlEs OF THE FLOWERS.
what Wnliam Hamilton Gibson Said of
Them In q I.es:.ura.

what william Hamilton Gibson Said of
Them In > Lecture.
The lecture was confined solely to
the subject of Decentralization
Starting with the discovery of Drew
in 1852. who established the fact that
unless pollen was deposited on the
stigma of the flower there could be
no seed, the lecturer brought his
hearers through the discoveries
made up to the time when Darwin
announced that cross-fertilization
was aided by honey-garhering in
sects.
The sage blossom was shown first
on the chart Tho mechanical device
revealed bee just entering the cup
in search of honey. AS the bee
worked its way into the heart of the
flower the stalnen was pressed down
until it touched its back, on which
the pollen was deposited. The stig-
ma was also forced to bend, and as
the bee crawled out the stigma
touched its back and took up the
pollen that was deposited there.
This was given as an example of
Decentralization where the stigma
was not below the stamen.
To prove that the bee was q neces-
sary aid to the propagation OF the
red clover and other flowers, Mr..
Gibson cited the following case:
.'Some years ago." he said. ''the
red clover, which is g. native of this
continent. was transplanted in Aus
tralia and New Zealand. 1t was not
the crop that was wanted, but the
seed, and when. at the end of the
season. no seed appeared it was
thought that the sell was not the
proper kind for the production of the
red clover. This was not so The
transplanters had forgotten to bring
along the bumblebee, and. naturally
tilization- The naxt year tha haA
wns pr0uguL, and the result was q
magnificent crop of clover.
Another fact would like to call
your attention to is that all flowers
in which the stamen is below the
stigma, so that the pollen does
not fall upon it. have some means of
attracting insects in order that the
pollen may be brought to the stigma.
They are brightly colored, fragrant.
or are nectar-producing. Any OF
these attributes will attract the In
sect. so that the pollen may be carried
to the stigma when the insect leaves
the cup"
"Freak" flowers, the lecturer ex-
planned. were also propagated by the
transmission Of pollen by insects.
The pollen of a deformed flower, he
said. was carried from its stigma to
that of another flower, and the de-
formity inherited in the product. 1t
is in this manner, he said, that
florists produce the queer-looking
Aowers that they exhibit at the horti-
cultural shows.

AnInterestinr Creature.

The slug and its habits and peculiari-
ties are well worth little attention
from those who are fond of the unusual
and curious things Of earth. A family,
upon moving into house, remarked
that the cellar was lined all over with
thin, shining tracks where some Shiny
creature had crawled For long time
the makers of the tracks could not be
found, but were at last discovered un-
derneath box in one corner where the
mice had carried some leaves and pieces
of vegetables. They were put into
glass fruit Jar and fed with leaves and
scraps of vegetables. They seemed to eat
but little, but were continually crawl
ing about the jar At the slightest
sound they contracted into length Of
not more than 21a inches, remaining
perfectly quiet for few minutes. when
they cautiously put out their feelers and
began to move The head seemed to go
on. and the tail was still until the body
measured almost inches, when grad
uallv the entire length moved slowly
alonY. AS it crawled up the side of the
jar the under side of the body could be
clearly seen through the transparent
material Its propulsive power seemed
to be a sort of endless chain arrange
ment that ran lengthwise from head to
tail. This slug is as thick as ones little
finger The longest specimen measured
a trife over inches in length. New

why Beer Kegs Are nrsae So Thick.

Why beer Kegs Are MAde So Thick.
1t takes long while foRa a beer keg to
wear out. 1t has a tough constitution
and is protected from internal decay by
coat of pure and hard pitch The pitch
used on the modern keg is much superior
TO that formerly used 1t is clear, taste
less and tough. An empty beer keg will
stand great many hard knocks before
the pitch scales off.
The kegs wear out when they do
wear, externally. They are wet and dry
alternately, and this promotes decay
Then they get a great deal of unneces-
sary banging around between the time
they leave the brewery and are brought
back again Everybody, frcm the driver
and railroad and steamboat hands down
to the barkeepers, seems to think the
kegs are indestructible A whole car
load of empty kegs is frequently thrown
from the car down TO the ground. A
single empty keg is often thrown Is feet
1t really isn't necessary to make t..,,
kegs as heavy, SO far as the keeping of
the beer is concerned They began by
being made heavy in the old days. The
brewers then deemed it absolutely req
uisite TO make them that way to with
stand the pressure of the beer The very
fact that they were made heavy and
clumsy subjected them to rough han
ding. Now they have to be made heavy
and extra material has to be put into
the heads and slaves simply because of
this handling and not from any danger
on account of the internal pressure of
the beer. Chicago Tribune,

PIONEER DAY-sTATEHOoD

The people of Provo yesterday cele-
brated Pioneer Day and statehood to-
gether. 1t is grand thing TO honor
the memories OF the old days of sacri-
fee, hardships and trump b. There
were many quaint old wagons, guns,
equippage, and very quaint old
men in line, bringing back strongly to
the on-lookers the days when these
men, their Duckskin suits, old time
rifles and frontier equippage were re-
alities and not the loving stimuli ations
by the children OF the heroes of the
early settlement of Utah. The survi-
vors of the Black Hawk Indian war the
Grand Army men and other bodies re-
presenting the men of today. How
ever, there was not single old Johnny
representative, albeit score or more
of the old battered men Of the gray and
of the south looked on, pleased and
amused spectators OF an anniversary
in which they had none but the sentl-
ments of neighbors and friends, no
thing of the enthusiasm which stirs the
blood Of participants, nothing save the
melancholy interest Of far-of glance
at scenes which interests others and
not ourselves. Utah has done wisely
in making of Pioneer Day one of her
most sacred festivals. The heroes of
her early struggles deserve all the
honor the state can pay them and after
which we hope to see her able to take
the burdens of the care of her aged,
INDECENT and manned old heroes upon
her shoulders. and in this way shield
them from the cold blasts of winter
and shelter them lovingly from the
blistering SUNS of the fierce summer.

cheering and the enlivening strains of
sweet music we're filing the air, the
thoughtful travelled in IMAGINATION
away to Washington to carry silent
greetings and prayers for the brave
and devoted gentleman to whose
genius and untiring labors we owe
the boon of statehood today, to the
party in power, without whose help
we had still remained aliens in the
land of our birth. With each recurring 2

Utah let her people assemble together
