VALUABLE AMERICAN COIN.
The Perfect Silver Dollar of 1904
$1,000 Paid for One.

The Perfect Silver Dollar of 1904
$1,000 Paid for One.
The most valuable American coin to.
day is the perfect silver dollar of 1904
Its highest auction price is 81 900; there
is a record of 81, 200 having been paid
for one at private sale. Only thirteen
of them are known to exist, says the
San Francisco Examiner.
Lyman H. Low of New York city, in
discussing the subject of coin collec-
lions, said: There are many rarities
in the different series of United States
coins, and some of them command pref
ty high prices. That which has the
highest record with us is the 1904 dol
lar and there are probably several hun
dred mistaken claims made each year
by persons who think that they have
one of these dollars. This mistake
arises from confusion of other coins
bearing the same date with the United
States silver dollar. The Spanish
American eight-reals piece, or dollar,
is dated 1904, and the Bank of England
has an 1904 issue, which is stamped
Five shillings or dollar Occasionally
some bunglingly altered coins turn up
as 1904 dollars. Next to these rare sill
yer dollars the coin collector prizes the
half-eagles, or S. gold pieces, of 1916
or 1922. These are worth from $500 up
ward. OF the other Tarities in the gold
series the most notable are the 81 piece
of 1875 and the So pieces bearing 1875
and 1875. In the series of silver half
dollars the most valuable are the coins
of 1876 and 1897. The lesser lights
among those sought by collectors are
the halves Of 1894, 1901, 1902, 1915 and
1852. High prices are realized by sill
yer quarters of dates prior to 1915,
when they are in the mint state or not
very much worn. The quarters most in
demand and consequently most valua-
BILE are those of 1923 and 1927 An
1902 half-dime is very valuable. A
choice specimen will bring 500 or over
at any time. The 1904 dime is probab-
ly the rarest, and it is fair to say that
any early American dime in a high
state of preservation is valuable. This
statement applies also to almost any
OF the copper cents bearing dates prior
to 1910, especially when they are in
the mint state or near thereto. The
rare sets of copper cents may be noted
in the following order: 1893, 1904, |
1898, 1909 and 1911. In the issues OF |
other dates the question of preservation
is most important The old 2-cent piec-
es, which were coined from 1854 to 1873 |
have no special value, except those of
1873. The 1873 coins were never struck
for general circulation, but were put in
proof sets of that date.

,JOE'S AMILY.

Until she married Amily had been
possessed Of considerable self-wil and
some sharpness of tongue; but now,
after three years of Joe Strong's ex-
elusive society, she had become sub
| dued creature; her face seemed to have
assumed a submissive expression OF
habitual Difference. Why she had
chosen Joe from among many admirers
no one could imagine, for he had not
even the advantage o. good looks; the
sluggishness of his mental capacity
was portrayed in every line OF his
hard, clean-shaven face. He was
man from whom women were wont to
shrink, with an instructive conscious
ness that he looked down upon them.
Men thought him honest, and, by rea-
son of his physical strength, generally
deemed it wise to be civil to him,
though few really liked him.
No one had seen Amily inside a
church since her wedding day, nor did
she ever tell her friends of her own
meek suggestion, on the first Sunday
of her married life, that she and her
husband should go to place of wor-
ship together.
ooh, it be wurship, be it?" Joe had
said, with his broad, southern drawl.
Look here, you can wurship at home!
That be what 1 married We fur-to
wursh-up and do my chores"
Amily shut her lips, to open them no
more on that subject in his hearing.
This statement included Joe's entire
creed on the subject of womankind. He
did not iIl-treat his wife; and in so
much as he never spoke to her without
swearing, she grew accustomed to that,
and at last did not even notice it.
Neither was he a drunkard; he con-
sidered that man has q perfect right
to get drunk every night of his life if
he chooses; but he so hated having
headache in the morning that, for his
part, he preferred to keep sober.
The woman began to think that she
was turning into machine for scrub
bling, cooking and. sewing. 1t seemed
10 her, after three years, that no world
existed outside her four walls, from
which she only escaped when she went
marketing with Joe on Saturday
nights. Of course she might have gone
had never said she wasn't
to; but the inclination to do so seemed
to have died, along with her self-will,
and her joy of life, and her religion
She did not realize how unhappy she
was. She thought she was only i'll,
and perhaps more lonely on that ac-
count.

Is in effect denial of the suzerainty

control of the Transvaaps relations
was not, in the British view, at all

According to the Indian Engineer the
merchant marine of Japan has in
creased since the Chinese-Japanese war
from 10000 to 100000 tons of steam
shipping. Lines are now organized
sailing from the chief ports of Japan
to China, India, Europe, America and
Australia. This growth follows a
change from an agricultural to a man
ufacturing nation. In 1872 Japan only
exported manufactured articles to the
value of 100000; in 1895 exports of
this class amounted to $4,000, 600, or
40 per cent. of her total exports.

MINIATURES OF THE EYE.
Painters Now Reproduce the Optics for
Gifts to Friends

Gifts to Friends.
Among the latest novelties in what
might be called love tokens to very
dear friends is what is called 1.-THE be-
loved eye" This, of course, is not the
genuine article, but a miniature paint
ing Of the human eye, done most ex-
qulsitely on ivory and set about with
precious stones, The painting of the
eye alone is by no means a trivial
task, and the one who wishes to offer
presentment of his or her optic to
the beloved one must give many sit
lungs to the miniature painter in order
TO enable him to produce the exact col
or and expression, so the fad for "be-
loved eyes" is too eccentric and too
costly to be lasting.
