invariably accompanied by Miss Sullivan

She has the most indOmitable enthusi-

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Oct 15.-The first

with the keenest interest for a girl who

more than the ordinary degree Of exulta-

DEMAND FOR HALF-CENTs.
mpetitiOn In Prices Now Calls for
,
the Small Coin.

Comp etitiOn In Prices Now Calls for
the Small Coin.
The coinage Of the half-cent is being
demanded from numerous quarters. In
the early history of the country this
coin did not seem to be needed. Busi-
ness had not reached the degree Of di-
vision and specialization that rendered
it useful In all the new countries. where
resources have to be developed, there is
disregard for detail and of small things
AS civilization progresses and popItla-
ton increasing the trading and every
day business is done on finer lines
convenient small coins for use in small
transactions conduce to economy and saw
ing. says the Bankers magazine In
California in the pioeneer days there
were no coins less than a dime All
transactions in which change could not
be exactly made, less than dime, caused
q loss to one side and a gain TO the
other For a long time California af-
fected to despise nickles, but the adyani-
age of making closer and juster change
gradually recommended itself, and now
even the copper cent is gradually gaining
ground In that state of great resources
and large ideas.
The demand for the half-cent comes
from those sections Of the country where.
the struggle for existence is becoming
more difficult, and where the subdivis-
ions of business and competition in prices
cause the loss of even a half-cent In
making change a serious matter. There
are many things sold for cent which
would be sold for a half-cent if such a
coin existed. The dollars would proba-
bly, take care of themselves better If the
half-cent were in existence to be taken
care of than they are now, when the
cent is the least coin that can be looked
after. To add the half-Cent to our coins
would increase the profits Of small deal
ers, and possible economies to that class
of people who are obliged to make small
purchases. AS it is now either the seller
or purchaser in these small dealings,
which by their number are of great i'm
pOrtance, loses or gains.

foreign languages Helen was quite at

and since she learned to speak English
by placing her fingers upon the lips of
her instructor she could, of course, learn
the oral part OF any other language in
precisely the, same way For the rest
