and copper coins have no mint marks,
neither have coins issued at the Phila-
deiphia mint. Collectors often pay high
prices for coins bearing certain mint
marks which otherwise would not have
been worth more than their face value.
The first United States cents struck
for circulation bear the date Of 1893.
They are Of six varieties and are valued
at $3.50 and $685..
Very rare are the New York doubloons,
coined in 1857. Of which only five are
known to exist. On one side Of this rare
and curious coin is q picture of the sun
rising over a mountain, surrounded by
the legend, Nova Eboraca Columbia
Excelsior" Below is the name of the
designer, "Brasller.' The other side has
the original form Of the national motto,
"Inum G Pluribus.' There is a heraldic
eagle, on one wing Of which are the let
tels e. B. the designers initials.
These coins are worth about $500. The
last one sold brought $527. 1t hsd be-
longed to an old Maryland family ever
since it was coined.
The five-dollar gold piece of 1929 is a
rare coin. At one time only two were
said to be in existence, one in the Phil
adelphia mint, the other in Boston. but
q third was picked up in a New York
money changers shop q few years ago.
II was afraid at first that it might be
a countelllelt, SAID the collector of coins
who happened to spy it. The man was
SO delighted 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 received
an offer of $3.50; later $45O was offered by
another gentleman: $500 by another one.
but the gentleman, at last accounts. was
holding it for 81. 900. One of the most
sought after colonial coins is the Highly
copper. 1t was struck in 1877 by Samuel
Highly, who was physician and a black
smith at Granny, Conn. He got the cop
per from a mine neal by and shaped the
coin at his forge.
About nine years ago a silver sheEel
was found in Texas which dates hack to
12 T.. G. It's intrinsic value is about 50
cents; its value to collectors S.. 900.
One of the earliest known coins is a
di-drachm of an ancient Aeg;na, coined
about 700 b. G.. It's intrinsic value is 80
cents; it's market value 81.

should become such friends is the wonder
OF all Europe: even in the accidental oc-
currences of life they are dissin1ilar, the
Car having been blessed with all girls
while the Kaiser had none but boys unit
there We're six sons.
Fol a long time the Kaiser has been de-
slrlous OF forming a RussO-German alli-
ance. Germany and Russia touch each
other, forming a broad band across the
northern part of Europe, from the north
of which juts out the Scandinavian PEN
insula. Russia and Germany allied would
control all of northeastern Europe and
IT combined would embrace more square
miles than Austria, Italy, France and
Spain together.
The Kaiser is much older than the Car
having celebrated his fortieth birthday.
while the Gar of all the Russias is only
thirty-one.
The two rulers will meet the middle of
this month to enjoy one of those reunions
dear to the heart of each. It is said
that the Kaiser has prepared an elab-
crate plan Of mann for Russia,
where she touches the Baltic. to cores
pond with Germany's Baltic forces, and
that he has a diagram for ship patrol
which would protect Germany and Rus

ers are represented with their arms on
each others shoulders. the Kaiser glow

thoughtful. JOHN A. KEMPSTER.

usually from one to two weeks. At the
end of this spree nine out of every ten

homesick for the woods. And once sent
back there they c%ontentedly stay until
the grim reaper claims his inevitable re-
ward.
II have noticed a similar thing in this
country, and that is, that those hardy men
who took part in the winning of the west
and endured the hardship, toll, privation
and excitement attendant upon the set
thing of that wonderful region, are sell
dom content in any other part of the
world. Honors and millions may come
to them, but as the end draws nearer the
majority of them turn their faces to the
setting sun, and when the final roll is
called on the judgment day, most of our
hardy western pioneers will answer
'adsum' from the places they fought Sc
hard to conquer and to colonize."

KAISER AND THE CAR

Berlin Sept. 21.-By a plan, long cher
tshed in the hearts of both, the emperor
of Germany will meet his cousin the car
of Russia at Weisbaden, the middle of
the month, there to discuss their national
plans and enjoy a reunion and good fell
lowship such as exists between no other
two scions of royalty for the friendship
between the car and the kaiser passeth
that of ~brotherly love md is akin to that
borne by Damon for Pythias, such kim
ship of feeling as rarely is found upon
this earth.
The exact relationship between the
car and the kaiser is difficult to state,
SO complicated are royal marriages. The
mother of the Kaiser is the Empress
Frederick. She is the sister of the
Prince of Wales. The Prince of Wales
married Alexandra of Denmark: and AL
exandar's sister is the mother of the
Gar. To define the kin it may be de-
cided that the Kaiser's aunt by marriage
is the own aunt of the Car, this making
them cousins. But the Car married
Alice of Hesse who was an town. or
first" cousin Of h Kaiser; and again
they are related. Then there are other
ties, through the other side of the fam
lily but this is sufficient to show tina the
same family blood fnds it's way through
their veins.
Yet in no way are these two royal cous-
ms alike Take the external view. The
Gar of all the Russians is slender, pale,
narrow chested n without muscle. He
looks as If he were in poor health and it
Is claimed of him that he inherits that
dread disease of royalty, epilepsy, to
keep him ever an invalid.
The Kaiser, shorter, is stockier and full
chested. His voice is a deep bass and he
walks with a firm, stalwart stride. He
is quick and energetic in movement, in
striking contrast to the Car, who moves
slowly and weakly, and he is very fond
of out door sports, a method of enter
~tainn1ent which the Cza cannot endure
as he tires too easily.
The meeting his month is to talk over
the pet scheme o f the Car, the disar.
malnent of nations. To this the Kaiser
is vigorously opposed; and it was at his

IN his hands. If war was to be de-
clared, therefore, there is little doubt
that this fiery war lord would take the
field in person and that he would free
ly assume all the responsibilities for
the defeat or victory of his great arm
ed force. According to the constitution
the reigning princes of the empire
would be the virtual advisers of the en-
peror but it is doubtful if he would be
willing to listen to their advice, few OF
them being competent to assume this
prerOgative. In fact the man who,
next to the emperor, would command
the army would be General Alfred Won
Waldersee, one of the most scientific Of
the fighting men in Germany. He join
ed the army in 1850, and since tina time
he has held every grade of office from
that of cadet to the position which he now
holds, that of lieutenant general and per-
soma %adjutant to the emperor. During
that time he has been so fortunate as

TO receive much Of his training under
the eye of the great general. Won
Aioltke, and with such a man to curb
the headstrong tendencies Of the young
ruler the military affairs of Germany
cannot but be well administered.
Both King Humbert in Italy and
Emperor Francis Joseph is Austria
Hungary have the constitutional right
to CAIN the chief command Of the
army but in neither case would such
power be assumed. Tt is equally cer-
tain that the Prince Of Wales, even
if he should become King Of England,
would never take the field although
he would undoubtedly assume powers
that are now vested in other officials.
At present the technical head Of the
British army is the Marquis Of Lans-
dovne, the secretary of state for war.
but as he is a civilian without any mil
itary training he is practically little
more than a fisurehead. Field Marshal

mander. Upon the accession of the
Prince of Wales to the throne there
Will probably be a change in the COM
position Of the military administers
ton. The prince is not aman who
will sit silently and allow this power
to be kept from him and it is doubtful
if he would wen consent to allow this
position to BE- bestowed upon his broth
en-, the Duke of Connaught, although the
latter has shown himself to be a good
soldier INK an able commander. That
both Lord Wolse}ey and the Duke of
C~onnaught Will remain important fac
tors in military affairs of Great Britain
for a long time to come, however, there
can be no doubt.
Lord Wolseley entered the army in
1850 and has seen some OF the most
active service in all the wars that
have required the attention of the Brit
ish soldiers since that time. A few
years ago at a state banquet he was
toasted 10y thu queen IN person, an honor
that has rarely. if ever. been accorded
a military man in England.
OF course the Duke of C~onnaught
has had no such opportunities to dis
tinguish himself. the triinca and the
great Egyptian and Indian campaigns
coming at a time when he was still too
young to assume charge of the forces.
The creditab!e manner in which he went
through the battle of Te~l-El-kebir, how
ever, proved him to be possessed of the
proper martial spirit. and he will I'M
doubtcdly take advantage of the first
opportunity to show that he is fitted to
assume Of the army. 1t was
in the hope that he would yet be able to
obtain this position that he refused the
heirship to the duchy of SaNe-Coburg-
Gotha and it is possible that the Prince
of Wales might be ~pursuaded to consent
to allow this honor to be conferred upon
him. LIEUT. l.. b. STRONG.

Now that the air is charged with mar
tial spirit and echoes Of war and rumors
of wars may be heard in more than one
part of the globe it is interesting to ex-
anime the military construction of the
great nations of the world, to see what
character of armies would be thrown into
the field and who would command these
stupendous forces, if, by any unfortunate
chance, other important powers should
become a party to the present unpleas-
antness.
OF course we have had a slight illus
tration of what the United States could
do in time of war, for while the trouble
with Spain was of too brief duration to
enable one to judge of the full strength
of the reserve force of this country. it
gave the war department an opportunity
to prove that a mighty army could be
called together and equipped for duty in
a comparatively short time.

TIPS ON TEA.

For French tea take four t~easpoonsfuls
of tea. four cups of boiling water and
one square of cut sugar. Steep five to
eight minutes and serve without cream
or sugar.
A DIR. Johnson cup of tea is made by
pulverizing the tea leaves: moisten with
cold water and let it stand Is minutes;
add boiling water and serve at once, with
cream and sugar.
For tea a la Dewey, take the juice of
three lemons. three oranges, one pine
apple, shredded or grated, a wineglassful
of preserved strawberries or cherries, one
tablespoonful of Ceylon tea, and pour
over all one quart of boiling water; steep
for Is minutes before serving.
You can not have good tea unless you
use freshly boiled water. Water that
has been boiled for any length OF time
lacks life and gives a dull taste to the
detection. Use freshly filtered water.
and let it come to a hare boil. TIL Rus
