AMERICAN MONEY.

The 2-cent bronze piece is COM
posed of IS per cent. copper and per
cent Of tin and zinc.
The 1-cent bronze piece is composed
Of 95 per cent. Of copper and per cent.
of tin and zinc.
The silver half-dollar was authorized
April 2, 1902, and coinage was begun in
1894.
The 10-cent silver piece was author
ized by congress in 1892, and its coin
age was begun in 1896.
Tie nickel cent was authorized Feb
ruary 81, 1857, and it's coinage was be-
gun the same year.
The SIS gold piece was first coined in
1795, by virtue Of an act of congress
passed April 2, 1899.
The first regular silver coinage to be
passed out in the order of business was
in October, 1892.
A mint report says that "the nickel
5-cent piece furnishes key to the met
rio system of measures and weights.
The diameter of this coin is two CEN
timeters. and it's weight 10 grammes. "
The trade dollar was originally coined
for foreign use, particularly in our
eastern trade. 1t was authorized by act
of congress, passed February IL, 1873,
and it's coinage was begun in 1874.
"A pleasant guess is to name how
many dollar bills would be required to
weigh as much as $40 gold piece. An
swers fuctuate between 300 as the low
est and 1000; the correct number be-
ing a."
The silver Scent piece, once famil-
lar at the counters of post offices, was
authorized by act of congress March 8,

Nearly Every Civilized Nation on Earth.
st. Louis Republic, January z, 1896.
One of the largest institutions in this State
is the Stark Bros Nurseries and Orchards
company at Louisiana, Mo-, and Rockport,
Iii. The trade Of the firm extends not only
throughout the United States, Canada, Ger
many, France, Italy, Hungary and other
foreign countries, but it has number of Gus
toners both in New Zealand and Australia.
Eighty years ago there came from Ken
lucky to Pike county The late Judge Stark,
then young man fresh from Old Hickory's
New Orleans campaign. He started the
nursery and planted the first grated or
chard in the state, having brought the scions
on horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
firm has more than l 900 travelling solicitors,
and employs more people in its offices than
would be necessary to run a large manufac-
turing concern. The extensive packing

tracks. From these packing houses hun
dreds Of carloads of trees are shipped an
nually. The nursery grounds embrace
number of farms convenient to the city. and
even extend to Rockport, Ills, where there
is plant of several million trees.
The popularity of the concern is the
establishment of large orchards. These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly so,
600 acres, and more than 3,50 600 trees on
the partnership plan. The firm is also in
terested in about as many more trees on the
cooperative arrangement.
Louisiana firms have more travelling men
upon the road for them than any other city
OF the world of it's size. This, of course, is
largely due to the large number of men en-
ployed by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who
furnish their men the most complete, up-to-
date outfit ever issued. They are increasing
their force of statesmen daily, and room for
more. 49,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The angels may have wider spheres
Of action, may have nobler forms of
duty, but right with them and with us
is one and the same thing
Nothing more powerful argues life
beyond this than the failure of ideals
here. Each gives us only fragments of
humanity, of heart, of mind, of charity,
of love and of virtue.--Anon.
