The silver dollar IN the United States
celebrates its IQ2d birthday next fan The
first silver dollars were made al Philadel
p1ia ln the old mint in 1874 They were
absolutely necessary for the transaction
Of business. and though the machinery
for making them was most primitive,
they got made somehow.
And very pretty coins they were.
Around the edge there were letters,
zone HUNDRED cents. one dollar, or unit"
There was no hint on either side OF the
coin Of it's value. The microscopic let
tering along the unmilled edge told the
story only.
on one side was a liberty figure with
flowing hair surrounded by fifteen little
stars for the fifteen states and on the
other side was a spread eagle. with
laurel wreaths and United States Of
America These coins are now worth
about $500 each or more for private col
lections. They were two grains heavier
than the silver dollar of to-day.
The silver dollar kept on being coined

were silver dollars coined in the United
States. The colonies got up their own

There are some singular things about
the making of dollars, just as there
are about the making of pins. Extremes
meet sometimes in similarity. Dollars
disappear apparently of the face of the
earth Just as pins do. There are millions
OF them made every year, and millions
more are needed. True. millions of new
people are born. But the people of the
United States do not increase in popula-

you and at the heavens. Her words are
few, but she emphasizes them with telling

ready to foreswear the world for her and
fight the demons who thwart her. She is
the most telling Of all. But she must be
beautiful and dark. Light blue eyes can
not do what brown eyes can.

eyes, and that is upon the mischievous girl

you were not so afraid of her! She

BELIEVES PROVIDENCE SENT

One day while she was sitting by me a
gust of wind blew a, paper in the door. Sis
ter picked it up and asked if she would read
it for me- Scarcely had she done so when
she noticed the accounts of the wonderful
cures that a Doctor Abbo had perform
ed. She could not help thinking of them,
and when my husband came home he also
read them. He tried to get the paper off
his mind but could not, so after talking to
sister about it he went TO Doctor Abbo' s
Office and brought him to see me The doc
tor examined me and said 1 had a stric-
ture of the bowels and there was no rea-
son for me to die with that. He was GER
tain that he could perform an operation
and make me alright.

THE FORGET-ME-NOT.
Something Concerning the Name
and the origin of the Same.

From the Newcastle Chronicle.
The forget-me-not, or water scorpion
grass, blossoms in June and continues
towering till August. Two or three wild
flowers are occasionally hohored with this
sentimental name. In Queen Ellzabth's
time it was often applied to the ground
pine, a small yellow flower found on san
dy banks or gravelly fields, with its bios
SONS so hidden among a profusion of
leaves as to somewhat resemble a pine.
In our days the germander speedwen is
sometimes designated the forget-me-not:
but it is seldom so called by persons well
acquainted with flowers, and it probably
| originates in its being mistaken for the
myosOtis. Whether the species of myoso-
tbs which grows in the fields, the small
brilliant blossom of which looks like a
cluster of blue turquoise, or the large kind
which grows on the stream, be the true
olden forget-me-not, may be disputed Bot

England, seem to agree that it is the lat

NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA.
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that 2. p. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried 2. p. p. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases Of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that 2. p. p. will not make
total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. p. P Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. p. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by p. P. p, Lippman's Great Remedy
Ladies, take p. p p. and rid your
face of pimples. blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.
