said the collector OF coins who
happened to spy it. The man was so de-
lighted to secure it that before leaving the
shop he bought several other coins which
he didn't want He paid only Sc for It, The
same day he was offered $3.50 later $3.50 was
offered by another gentleman; $500 by an
other one, but the gentleman, at last ac-
counts, was holding 1t for $1,000.
One OF the most sought after colonial coins
is the Highly copper. They were struck in
1881 by Samuel Highly. who was a physician
and a blacksmith at CRANKY, Conn, He got
the copper from a mine near by and shaped
the coins at his forge.
About nine years ago silver shekel was
found in Texas which dates back to i42 B. C.
Its intrinsic value is about so cents; its value
to collectors $4,000.
One of the earliest known coins is a
dldrachm of ancient Aegina, coined about
60. b. c. It's intrinsic value Is 80 cents; its
na'ket value 81.
The coins spoken OF in the bible are
shekels, which were Of silver; the widows s
mite, the tribute penny and the "Judea
CAPITA" the bronze coin struck by the
! Emperor Titus to commemorate the destruc-
/ tion of Jerusalem and the dispersion of the
Jews
In Japan coins are generally OF iron, and
in Siam they are chiefly of porcelain
Whales teeth form the coinage OF the Fiji
islands. They are painted white and red
the red teeth being worth about twenty times
as much as the white. These teeth are worr
as a necklace instead of carried in pocket
book.
The entire collection OF coins and medals
in the British museum consists OF ESQ., ,00C
specimens, and is one OF the finest collec-
tons in the world At the Philadelphia
mint is a good collection Of American coins
but the government only allows it 5000 G
year to buy coins with. The British gov.
ernment spends $1,000 year for coins.

fulness. Mercy on me! / never heard OF

Don't folks in the city know how to make

Il s'pose they do" answered Addie, but
not as good as yours. Nobody can make It
like you, no matter how hard they try.
Everybody says so. You'll make the candy
for uncle won't you?"
Why yes, especially as he's paid for 1t

Miss Sanders. But does your mother know
I anything about this?" she asked abruptly,
faint color coming into her pale cheeks
why, no! She was over to Miss Smiths
when father brought me the letter, and l

afraid her secret would be guessed The

RUBBED TAR ON HIS HAIR.
Prank of n YounEster that Caused
Much Scrubbinr.


On Sixty-fourth street, Chicago lives a
man who has fair haired boy about years
Of age Of whom he is very fond, and natu-
rally somewhat indulgent.
He heard that liquid tar was good thing
to apply to leaky roofs, so, as the top of his
back porch leaked in an unpleasant fashion
during a shower, he decided to fix it. He
procured some tar, put 1t in an iron kettle,
warmed 1t, and, climbing upon a ladder, at
tended to the leak.
AS special favor his young son had
been permitted to witness the performance.
When the father had occasion to descend
and go into the house for something he
needed the child was solemnly warned not
to touch the tar kettle.
But when the. father returned the fair
haired child had been stirring the tar with
a stick and was in the act of wiping the
same on his hair.
They sat him in the bathtub after his
clothing was removed and applied lard In
liberal quantities to his golden ringlets. This
softened the tar after awhile, but as it soft
ened 1t ran down over the cherub. and
was several days before repeated scrubbing
restored him to his original beautiful color.
