.E PIurihns Tnum.-

The circumstances attending the
adoption of the legend ''E Pluribus
Unum' as the motto Of the United
States have never been fully explained
by the historians. 1t was probably used
on coins-and some say upon early
colonial fags-long before il was regu-
larly recognized by the leading officials
of the new republic. The Oldest coin
bearing the motto in full is a colonial
cent coined by New Jersey in the year
1886. The same year it appeared ON d
small medal recognized among the col
lectOrs of coins as 1.-The confederate. y
This medal was "A national token, be
heve, and was coined by authority OF
the general government. II bore ON one
side Is stars and blazing sun, the lat.

A more remarkable case than any Of

There are other head ushers who tell
you to hurry mp OF step lively. They
give loud warming that all coupons must

They shout, Hey, there!" and are
constantly distracted because Of the inn

The Missing Birds.

The bluebirds, yellow birds and black
birds seem TO have disappeared from
western New York this year. Reports
from careful ornithologists III many
counties show that these birds have not
appeared this spring as usual Walter
Burke of Batavia writes: Where are
the blackbirds? These birds i'll past
years congregated i'll large numbers in a
little grove near my residence and filed
the air with their melodious singing,
but now it is all hushed and still -
The Livingston Republican says
1.-THE absence of bluebirds has been
commented ON by several papers, and,
come to think of it, we haven't noticed
any bluebirds or yellow birds either,
but the orioles are flashing through the
foliage i'll considerable numbers and oc-
casionally trilling few bars of song. .

OUR lNcomPARAeLe ICE CREAM.
Europeans strive TO Initiate It, but Their
Efforts Have Been Vain.


Ice cream is pre-eminently an Ameri-
can speciality. All the Atlantic passen-
ger steamers plying between this port
and Europe take aboard in Now York
sufficient supply of ice cream for the
VOYAGE back to New York as well rs for
the outward journey, despite the fact
that the cost of the article is greater
here than abroad, and that it is expcn-
sive stuff to keep. The round trip Occa-
pies at least three weeks, and the cream
has to last that period, one week of
which the ship is tied up in dock, with
the cream eating " Ice Ill the rcfriScr-
ator at a prodigiOus rate. When the au-
tumn rush homeward sets i'll AID the
steamers are crowded to the limit, the
amount of ice cream thus carried fam
this port and kept at least two weeks for
use on the return voyage Is big item
in the provision account. Many kinds Of
provisions and supplies are cheaper IN
Europe than here, and of these the
steamers lay i'll n double stock at the Eu-
ropean ports. Ice cream, too, Is cheaper
in Europe, but it has the fatal disad-
vantage that it is not ice cream as the
American regards the article
Ice has come To be less of a novelty
ON the table i'll Europe III recent years,
mainly, doubtless, because of the insist
ence of the thousands Of Americans who
make Europe their summer playground.
Ice cream, too, you can get i'll most of
the big cities, even in England. But it
usually lacks the main, indefinable quail
tiles that make it so attractive at home.
Europeans may talk about the inimitable
bouquet of their wines, but the bouquet
of American ice cream Is beyond them.

tages and facilities, rs is claimed for the

conclusion that only the "sorbetto" one

Venice approaches the delicious perfec-
tion of the ordinary every day ice cream

Venetians themselves eat ice cream,

In Africa there exists certain mem
Der of the crab genus commonly known
as The great tree crab. This peculiar
shclIhsh has an offensive triyk of
crawling up .hc cOcOJnut trees, biting
OF the cocomuts and then creeping
down again backward.
The theory is that the nUts are shat

is thus enabled to enjoy "A hearty meal
Now. the natives who inhabit regions
infested by this i'll conditioned crab are
well aware that the lower portion of the
crabs anatomy is soft and sensitive. and
they believe that the "bivalve" was
thus constructed in order thar he might
know when he had reached the ground.
and when, consequently. he might with
safety release his grasp Of the trunk
So what they do in order to stop his
depredations, which often ruin the Co
comut crops, is this: While the crab is
engaged in nipping off the cocuanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive row of long nails right
around the tree, allowing an inch or SO
of the nails 10 project.
The crab has no knowledge Of disas-

of the Colorado Legislature has
refused to have her picture
taken in order to complete the
group which an insane custom
has made an essential feature
of every legislative body. This
refusal would raise the hope
that the custom is about to be
broken, and thus afford another
substantial reason in vindicat-
ing the wisdom of selecting
women to Office, except for the
fact that the House has Just in
