The circumstances attending the
adoption Of the legend "E Pluribus
Unum" rs the motto Of the United
States have never been fully explained
by the historians. II was probably used
ON coins-and some say upon early
colonial fiags-long before it was regu-
larly recognized by the leading officials
Of the new republic. The Oldest coin
bearing tho motto in full is n colonial
rent coined by New Jersey in the year
1856. The same year il appeared On a
small medal recognized among the col
lectors Of coins as 1.-THE confederate. -
This medal was n national token. / be-
ieve, and was coined by authority Of
the general government. IL bore on one
side 3 stars and a blazing sun, the lat
ter surrounded by the word "Confetler.
alto. which gives it the name by which
il Is known 10 the numismatists.
The words in the headline are un-
doubtedly from Virgil's 'Moretus. a
poem devoted TO a description Of a Ger
tain salad In the rhynling recipe he
gives instructions for mixing the proper
herbs and pounding the same in n nur-
tar until the various colors blend as one.
Some one has very appropriately said
that 1.-THE colonies were mixed in tne
mortar Of the Revolution and came ont
as one homogeneous nation - 81.

man left his car to pick up a horseshoe.
For luck? Not at all, but because it lay
directly on the rail ahead, and in the in
terest of passengers and possibly rolling
stock he gathered it not over tenderly
and gave it a fling SO that it fell almost
at the feet of three ladies, one of whom
was about to pick it up, when practi-
cal member of the trio said: Don't soil
your gloves, and never mind if there are
three nails in it. 1t was not you who
found it, but the motorman, and he has
flung it away, good luck and all " The
citizen passed the spot three minutes
later, and no trace of the horseshoe was
found. Why? Because a Beacon street

Advice to Those Wishing to Commit Songs
or Music to Memory.
81 wish you would teach me how to
commit to memory the songs 1 want to
sing" said an amateur musician to
friend. Il have never been able to com
init my music to memory-at least have
never done so-and think it would be
of use TO me if l could.
1.-The process is not a difficult one. Z"
was the reply. Il have always found il
easy to remember songs and poems by
certain rule or method that adopted
long time ago Take any popular song,
The Last Rose of Summer, for exam
pie. 1t is a good plan to read it over and
get the sentiment of the verse, which
comprehends the idea of loneliness, the
fading away of beautiful things and the
lack of sympathy in sadness. The rose is
blooming alCne. Its companions are
faded AID gone. No flower or kindred
is nigh to share its pleasures or answer
to its sighs. This is the groundworll-
the skeleton, so to speak-of the verse.
Impress this firmly ON the mind and
familiarize the thought with the senti-
ment. Imagine the garden with the one
rose and faded leaves all around. Once
this is fixed in the memory it is COM
paratively easy to I'LL in the remainder
of the words. This is one of the simplest
and surest way Of committing the words
of song to memory.
with most people memorizing the
air of the song is much easier, and this
is done by humming again and a, ain,

take is made at the outset one is almost

A QUEER OLD sNeusHmAN.
Thomas Laugher and His Curious ExperI-
ences, Physical and Otherwise.

Thomas Laugher and His Curious ExperI-
enees, Physical and Otherwise.
Thomas Laugher, VINO is said to have
died at the age Of 112, has an amusing
record that connects him with Holborn.
He was well educated man, for he had
studied at Christchurch, Oxford, for 10
years. In early life he had been wine
merchant in Tower street and failed,
owing to the failure of a very large
house in the same trade, Neele, Fordyce
g. Co. 1t SO affected Laugher that he be-
came blind and speechless, and the skin
peeled off from the whole of his body.
Though a wine merchant, he never
drank any fermented liquor for the first
so years Of his life The old mans
memory was prodigiOus. He well re-
membered, in 1905, seeing Queen Anne
going to the house of peers, seated ON a
pilliOn behind the Lord Chancellor. and
he talked about the death of William
Ill He had been a well made man,
rather above the middle height. At SC
he had a severe fit of illness, and then a
fresh head of hair came, and new nails
on the fingers and toes. A contraction
that took place in the fingers of each
hand at this instant remained always
after. Nothing is said about new teeth
coming in his case, and he must soon
have recovered sight and speech, which
misfortune had deprived him o. so
abruptly.
He had n son, who died at the age Of
so, and whom he always called poor
Tommy" This boy of fourscore looked
very much older than his father, and the
fact led to some curious mistakes on the
part of strangers who saw them togeth-
er. Once, when they were walking in
Holborn, the son could scarcely keep
pace with the father-in fact, with so
great difficulty and distress did he do SO
that he attracted the attention of gen
tleman, who went up to old Laugher to
expostulate with him ON his want of
filial duty in not aiding more his vener-
able father. The old man told him Of
/ his mistake, but the stranger refused tc
/ give the least credit to his assertion un-
/ til somebody passing at the time, who
/ knew the Laughers well, certified to the
perfect truth Of the story.
All four turned laughers then; ut
their separation all Holborn beamed
with smiles, and grew quite radiant for
moment, but the next second it relapsed
into its bustling but somewhat melan-
! choly quotidian business-cash hunting.
/ One feels amused at this fussy moralist,
who showed such prevailing anxiety
4 and officiousness to direct others in the
path of virtue, smiting, as the mote, un-
: conscious of the beam.-Notes and Que

Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indOmit-
able will he has worked his way up
so as to sell so far, nearly 100000 Of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to disheGrten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world.
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200,-
600 more of his make; that means a
business of $50, 900 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel F.
Beatty, Washington, New Jersey, for
