we'll of New York, in his report to the
commander in chief, thus refers to my
suggestion, he having embodied my re-
port In full in his report: 'In these
Gays the children of the South and the
Nortn must habitate together in either
sectlon OF the, country, and be taught
tosetner In the common schools. There
fore, 1t is but just that personal preju-
dlces and conclusions concerning the
past should be omitted from the text
DOCKS, and that references to the Civil
War be histories only in fact as well
as in name, as suggested by Special
Aide Lancey of the Department of
Florida. l recommend therefore, that
as an assistance to Patriotic Educa-
ton in Schools a committee be ap-
pointed by the incoming commander
in-chief, consisting of seven members
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
to meet in conference the same num-
Der of influential men of the South,
with the object in view of arranging
for school history of the Civil War
which shall be acceptable to all Sec
lions of the country.
Commander-in-Ch Chief Leo Rassieur, in
his annual address read on Thursday
morning at the national encampment,
makes InlS reference TO the SUBJECT.
THE public schools of the country are
the fruitful field where patriotism can
be so planted and cultivated that moth
ing can destroy or eradicate it. Hence
every effort in this direction should be
continued with renewed energy.
The recommendation regarding the
preparation of a history of the Civil
War, by a committee, to be appointed
in our Order. and which is to act in
conjunction with a similar committee
to be appointed from the Confederate
soldiers, trenches upon the work of an
other committee of our Encampment,
which has done excellent service, and
hence should be referred to the appro-
pirate committee for consideration and
such recommendation as may seem
meet and proper. I am not surprised,
however, at this suggestion of the Chief
Special Aide, based upon the recon-
mendation of his Special Aide in the
Department of Florida, in view of the
report of the Special Aide from the De-
partment of Massachusetts,, setting
forth that the histories in his state
need looking after and correction"
Thus endorsed it seems to me that the
Executive Committee will report favor
ably on my suggestion and the joint
committee be appointed.

MINT MARKS.
Interesting Facts You Can Prove by
Closely Examing the Coins.

Interesting Facts You Can Prove by
Closely Examing the Coins.
"All coins of the same denomination
look alike to me-" says the average
person, who handles that form of spe-
Gle. Yet every coin of the United
States, of 25-cent piece, and
over shows distinctly what mint it
comes from.
There are only four places of coin
age in the entire country. These are
situated at Philadelphia, San Francis
CO, New Orleans and Carson City. The
first mint was established at Phila-
delphia; and as the founding of other
places of coinage was then unfore-
seen, there was no necessity for put
ting a mark on coins which came from
that city. But as the country grew
in territory, population and wealth.;
and as the mines in the West were
developed more and more each year, 1t
became necessary to establish other
mints, and to adopt a method whereby
the government could keep track OF
the output from each place, and. If an
error should occur in the coinage, could
at once locate the mint from which the
defective coin had come.
actly the same as others of the same
denomination. While on the one hand,
but little attention is paid to the differ
ences. in weight that every day wear
and tear. occasions on silver pieces. on
the other hand the slightest deviation
from the fixed standard in gold coin
necessitates the trouble of recoining
that piece. For these reasons, small
marks were put on coins which came
from minis other than that located at
Philadelphia.
To find the marks, turn the coin so
as to observe the tail side. Then look
directly below either the eagle, or the
bunch of arrows. If there be letter
in the place designated, it will be eth
err a small S, o, or the two double let
ters &C. Those bearing the letter are
from the mint at San Francisco. Oth-
ers having the letter are from New
Orleans, while those bearing the let
ters &C are from Carson City. If you
do not find any letter on the coin at
all. it is an indication that the coin
came from the city of "Brotherly
owe "

Nowen Mt Lower Rates in Hotels.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.

From the chicago heCOIu-Ilcidi u'
At the old-fashioned inns and restau-
rants in Sweden it is customary to
charge less for women than for men,
on the theory that they do not eat so
much. This amuses people, but 1t Is
rot so absurd as the practice of charg-
ing half-rates for children in our own
country. Everybody who has had any
thing to do with healthy boys or girls
knows that they usually eat twice as
much as the average grown person,
and yet at many hotels they are taken
at half price. At some hotels in Swe-
den a man and wife are charged as one
and one-half persons If they occupy
the same room. A husband and wife
may travel as one and one-half persons
by railway, and also by the post routes
furnishing their own carriage. On To-
cal trains on most of the railroads
there is no first-class accommodation
only second and third class. This is
said to be a political measure adopted
by the demagogues in Parliament to
emphasize the theory of equality
among the people. On all through
trains, however, there is at least one
frst-class carriage. The railway sys-
tenn of Sweden covers nearly 5000
miles. About half the roads are owned
by the government; the remainder by
private corporations. The cars are
comfortable and well kept, and upon
one of the roads there is dining car.

The mortality among distinguished
Union generals has been marked. The
Society of the Army of the Potomac
has had thirty-two presidents, and
more than half of them, 40 are dead
The Grand Army of the Republic has
had thirty commanders-in-chie and
fourteen are deceased. OF the noted
generals the most prominent survivors
are Gen. Schofield, Gen. Howard and
Gen. Sickles. On the Confederate side
the mortality is as marked. All the
secretaries of war, all the full generals,
and all but seven of the lieutenant
generals are dead. Grant and Lee,
Sherman. and Johnston, Thomas and
Hood, Sheridan and Stuart-all have
passed over the river. But the names
of Grant and Lee are being kept alive
and honored by Ulysses S. Grant, Srd,
and Robert f. Lee, Sd, talented young
grandsons, whose future careers are
full of bright and noble promise.

A FATHERS NATURAL RIGHTS.
They Do Not Extend to Deprfving His
Children of Education.
From the Indianapolis News.

The opinion Of Judge Bowling in holding
the compulsory education law valid, de-
clared some wholesome law. Supplemented
as 1t was by the ruling of the appellate
court affirming an order that a divorced
husband must contribute to the support OF
his infant child or go to jail, notwithstand-
Ing his earnings as an attorney-atlaw
were barely enough to support him in the
style in which he wanted to live, this opln-
ion is a forcible reminder that parents owe
a duty to their children which the state has
perfect right to compel them to perform.
The claim of a natural right" by the
father to do as he pleases with his own
children has been made before. and at
tempts have been made to justify the cruel
punishment of children and taking them
from good homes to be reared In poverty
and squalor on the ground that the courts
could not interfere with the fathers natu-
raj right to control his own children But
such claims have been denied. And when
father In Jay county asserted a natural
right to permit his child to grow up with
out the advantages OF training In the
schools. his claim was denied by the su-
preme court In the following language:
The natural rights OF parent to the
custody and control of his infant child are
subordinate to the power of the state and
may be restricted and regulated by munich
pal laws. One OF the most important nat
urdl uutles OF tne parent is his obligation
to educate his child, and this duty he owes
not to the child only, but to the common
wealth. IL he neglects to perform 1t or
wflfully refuses to do so, he may be CO.
creed by law to execute such civil obliga-
ton. The welfare of the child and the best
interests of society require that the state
shall exert its sovereign authority TO Sc
cure to the child the opportunity to acquire
an education"
1t would be well If all parents could be
made to understand that their relationship
does not give them any right to do or to
omit anything which conflicts with the best
interests of their children Of society in
general
