Fourteen Mistakes.

A list of "the fourteen mistakes oil
life" was recently given by an English
paper. The list is not exhaustive, but
is certainly suggestive:
1t is a great mistake to set up oul
own standard of right and wrong, and
judge people accordingly; to measure
the enjoyment of others by our own
to expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience In youth; to endeavor to
mould all dispositions alike; to look
for perfection in our own actions; to
worry ourselves and others with what
cannot be remedied; not to yield in
immaterial matters; not to alleviate
all that needs alienation as far as lies
in our power; not to make allowances
for the infirmities of others; to consid-
er everything impossible that'we can
not perform; to believe only what our
finite minds can grasp; to expect to be
able to understand everything. And
the last and greatest mistake of all is
to live for time alone, when any mo-
ment may launch us into eternity.

Coinage Facts Worth Knowing.

The first financial legislation by CON
gress under the Constitution was the
act of April 26, 1899, which fixed the
weight of the gold dollar at q grains
and that of the silver dollar at 416
grains; and these weights obtained till
the act of June %. 1884, reduced the
weight OF the gold dollar to 25.S grains
1000 fine,) leaving the silver dollar un-
changed; and these weights again OBJ
tanned from that time till the act of
July Is, 1S47, reduced the weight Of the
silver dollar to 412.5 grains. leaving
the gold dollar unchanged. The weight
of the gold dollar has never been chang
ed since that time. and the weight of
the silver dollar Including the trade
dollar has never been changed since
that time in weight; but the act of
February IL, 1878, known as the de-
monetlzation act, discontinued the
coinage of the silver dollar and author
lied the coinage of the trade dollar of
420 grains of standard silver.
These conditions prevailed from that
time to February %, 1878. when the
Bland-Allison act, restoring the coin-
age Of the standard silver dollar Of
412 grains under somewhat different
conditions, became the law of the
land; SO that barring the trade dollar,
the weight of the silver dollar has
been 4l2.5 grains ever since July IL,
1887; and the weight Of the gold dollar
has been 25.8 grains ever since the
18th day of June, 1884; but leaving
out the trade dollar, the amount of fine
silver in the silver dollar-371 rs grains
has never been changed since it was
fixed by the very first financial act OF
Congress on the subject in 1882; the
difference between 416 grains and 4l2.5
grains was made up Of alloy; but the
amount of fine gold in a dollar has been
changed since that time, it was origi-
nally 49, Is grains, but was reduced by
the act of June IS, 1888, to %. % grains
fine gold. The coinage ratio i'll 1872
was Is to l, i. g. Is grains of silver was
equal to grain of gold; but the act of
1884 and 1887 changed the ratio first to
1902 to 1, and then to the present
coinage ratio of Is 988, commonly
called 16 to 1, which has remained the
coinage ratio between the two money

A fellow who wasn't posted might
suppose that educated wOrkingmen
we're heavy drinkers, but it's just the
reverse. The average upper class me-
ch anics drink very seldom, but when
he does he generally takes a good one.
The heavy tipplers are the chaps who
take small drinks and lots of them,
and a house that has very swell GUS
tom will get from 80 to IS out of a gal

fifths of a gill to each customer. In
such establishments the glasses are
often very thick AMI the inside is
round on the bottom. They are de-
