THE UNIT OF VALUE,
Look at Silver Coins of 1892.

Hon. L. Bradford Prince, Chief JUS
tice of New Mexico, lately in an inter-
view said:
"a couple of months ago there was
great discussion at Chicago as to
what was the unit of value under the
original coinage act of 1892, which
embodied the views of Washington,
Hamilton and jefferson. They made
large bets on the subject, some con-
tending that the unit was in silver
and some in gold, and finally the mat
ter was referred at one of the clubs to
Judge Vincent, who rendered deci-
sion, which was no sooner made than
it was controverted.
"The joke is this. that the people Of
Chicago never thought of looking at
the coin itself to see whether it said
anything on the subject.
Now here" said the governor, TAX.
ing out of his pocket two finely pre-
served specimens of our early silver
coinage, "here are two silver dollars,
one Of 1895 and one of 1902. On the
diverse side of each is the word lib
erty' and the date, on the reverse ~.
S. OF America Now look at the edge,
where the milling is placed on the
more modern coins. What do you
see One dollar, or unit, one hundred
cents
"If the Chicago brethren had only
thought OF going to the coin itself as
witness they would have seen in a
moment that the silver dollar was the
unit by this direct statement printed
on its very substance. You know the
silver dollar never varied in weight in
the United States, from the foundation
OF the government to the demonetiza-
ton in 1873, when it was worth $1.O2
in gold dollars. When the change in
ratio was made in 1884 it was the gold
coin that was altered, not the silver
dollar. The latter was always the i'm
mutable standard of value until
struck down by the monopolists, who
desired dishonest, constantly in
creasing single standard, in 1873.
When the unit question comes up
again Just remember to look at the
coin ITSELF"

Women I'm Rolling Mills.
New York Recorder.

Mrs. Hattie Williams, of Pittsburg,
is probably the pioneer American wo-
man in a tin plate rolling mill. Some
weeks ago Mrs. Williams asked work
OF the Monongahela Tin Plate Com.
pany on the ground that her husband
was i'll and could not support the
family. She was set at work separat-
ing the tin plates as they came from
the rolls, in which task she proved go
proficient that five girls were put at
this work under her charge as fore
woman. Now it is proposed to put
100 girls and women at work in the
mill at posts where no great physical
strength is required. Mrs. Williams
had worked ten years in Welsh mills
and has experience. She earns SIG
per day, which is in excess Of her hus.
bands wages when he was at work.
1t is we'll known by Americans who
have peeped beneath the fair crust OF
British institutions that British wo-
men not only work in tin-plate mills,
but in file factories, in the hand man.
ufacture of hob nails and in other
trades where iron is handled, besides
at the pitbrow of coal mines and in
other places where women do not
work in this country. Nor are any of
these tasks necessarily more unfemi-
nine or less healthful than work in
the box factories, shoe shops and cot.
ton and wooden mills, where women
have been 50 long employed.

SEvEN-HANDEO EUCHRE.
Definite Points Given That Will
Enable One 20 Play the Game.
Philade1phia presa

Phllauelphla Prese
For pleasure, pure and simple, seven
handed euchre clubs may be cited as
models. The game is played with a
full pack OF cards, and the joker is
used. Seven cards are dealt to each
player, giving first three and then
four and leaving four on the table.
This quartet is dubbed the widow"
The player on the left OF the dealer
makes the first bid of 2. 3, 4. 5, 6 or 7
tricks, naming the suit, the highest
bid getting it. The bidding is done in
turn. The person who secures the
bid then selects three other players
partners-thus pitting four against
three. II the bidder wins, he and his
partners each count the amount bid.
If he fails, he is euchred, and the
three opponents count each the
amount bid. While one can play a
quiet, steady game, taking no risks
and holding high cards or the joker
play for a euchre, the spirit Of extreme
feminine politeness engendered by
this fad OF the hour requires that q
person holding the joker should bid
the limit, seven, thereby always intro
ducing an element of chance i'm the
contest and giving each one more
show.
Prizes are played for. A certain
number Of points gained can be the
limit or a given period of time as
agreed upon. The one holding the
highest number Of points at the de-
cisive mement wins.

places. Landlords do not lean toward
our way of thinking, and generally
they object to renting us room for
the purpose OF discussing suicide"
The club now has 90 members.
There have been six suicides. There
are no officers. A chairman is chosen
at each meeting and he ofiiciates.
Dice are thrown to determine who
shall turn the fatal wheel. When the
number is announced three cheer. are
given and the drinks are "on" the
victim, and he receives the congratu-
lations OF his cOnfreres.
Here is list OF suicides up to June
10:
March 12-Frederick Ochmer, "a
years old, No. 1881 First avenue.
March 27-Msrie Ochmer. 80 years
old, No. 800 East Ninety-eighth
street.
April l1-Jacob Il. Gumbert, Al
years old, No. ,425 First avenne.
April 26-Otto Schwernell, age un-
known, No. 1885 First avenue.
May 1l-Martha Balmar, about 80
years old. No. 300 East Seventy-fifth
street.
May 26-Peter Bouderhof, sc years
old. No. l,456 Avenue A.
June lO-John Zuckfuss, 43 years
old, No. 1927 Avenue A.
1t will be observed, from the names
given, that, with but single excep-
ton, all seem to be of foreign birth,
or at least have not been residents of
this country long enough for their
names to become Americanjzed.

THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
Ii Was Built by oliver Evans, Whs
Couldn't Lay Up Money.
st. Louis Globe-Democra

ot. LOUIS Gl0be-Democrat.
The real inventor of the locomotive
never realized cent from his inven-
ton.
His name was Oliver Evans. He
was born in Delaware in 1856 and
spent all his life perfecting inventions
which were destined to bring him
nothing but more poverty. He was
the original inventor of the high pres,
sure engine used in locomotives, the
only kind that could be employed to
advantage in this form OF transporta.
ton, but realized nothing for his idea
His application of the notion to
both land and water power was some
what novel.
In 1904 the municipality of Phila'
delphia called for bids for the dredging
of the river and cleaning of the docks
Evans put in bid lower than any oi
his competitors, and when it was &C.
cepted determined to build steam
boat to do the work.
He fitted out a scow with a steam
engine, building both the engine and
the scow in his own workshop.
When the boat was ready to be
launched, Evans determined to give
the people of Philadelphia an object
lesson in mechanics, so he put the
boat on wheels, fitted up push wheel
behind, set his engine to work and
propelled the boat through the streets
to the river in the midst OF an open
mouthed throng, not a few of whom
had dim idea that he ought to be
arrested for witchcraft.
When the boat reached the bank oI
the river, the wheels and axles were
taken Off, the craft WAS launched
fitted out with other wheels and made
to. do the work of dredging the har.
Dor.
So far as the invention of mechani.
cal devices went, Evans had splendid
genius, but when dollars and cents
came up for consideration he was a
mere child, and even allowed himself
to be cheated out OF the money that
was due him for cleaning the Phila.
delphia harbor with his new-fangled
steamboat.

The Railroad Kidney.
Lon don Public Opinion.

This complaint is now recognized
by medical men. 1t is caused by an
artificial stoppage Of the pores OF the
skin. If any person will examine his
hand after riding two or three hours
in train-and this is especially true
if he be perspiring-he will find his
hand is dirty. But closer exami'
nation will show the existence of a
fine CRIME, the particles of which, so
soon as the perspiration ceases, act as
minute corks stopping up the orifices
of the pores. How deeply this CRIME
works into the skin is shown by the
fact that after q railroad trip one
washes ones hands and face two or
three times before they become clean.
It is this CRIME which produces rail-
road kidney. OF course, it is not sup
posed that an ordinary healthy per.
son will contract this disease in q trip
of day or two. But where q person
Is already sufferer from chronic dis.
ease of the kidneys it is possible that
. week on railroad trains would ag-
gravate his malady to an appreciable
extent.

Scribner.

There is absolutely no reason for
STOPPING over the handles in either of
the two ways go commonly seen, and
there is no excuse for so doing in
ordinary road riding. 1t may be
necessary for the " scorcher" when en-
gagged in scorching" to assume the
one or the other of these attitudes-to
sprawl with the body straight, but
almost horizontal, and the head close
to the handle bar, or to bend the up
per part of the back as if trying to
break it in its middle and throw the
shoulders forward as lie desiring to
make them meet across his breast.
Even though one who is not scorch-
ing" he does not need to make himself
hideous object to look at and also re-
duce the benefits Of wheeling to a
minimum, so far as its effect on the
chest capacity is concerned.
