Thirteen Rules In Coins.

81 have never been able to compre-
hend," said a veteran numismatist,
why so many Americans should be-
lieve that a vast amount of i'll luck cen
tiers around the number 10.
''Thc commonest of all our silver
coins is the % cent piece. In the words
quarter dollar are 13 letters. Thirteen
letters compose q Pluribus Unum. In
the tail of the eagle are 13 feathers and
in the shield are Is lines. There are 10
stars and IS arrowheads, while if you
will examine the bird through a micro
scope you will find Is feathers in his
wing"

DRIN EN FROM HOME.
Young Married Couple Flee From Mys
 trriouS Noises

Newark, Feb 9.-Driven away from their home i'll the dead of night by ull- canny sounds and doings of mysterious origin, Ar and Mrs Martin Durkin, of No -Sf Ferry street, Newark, are stay ing temporarily with Mrs Durkin's sis ter, at No 22 Fillmore street. They are not naturally SuperstitiouS or cas- fly unneiFed, but after several weeks Of annoyance and investigation they could stand it no longer, and on Tues day night they left their apartments. Others who have Investigated the mat ter are equally mystitied
 Mir and Mrs Durkin were married on December It. Previous to that date they had placed furniture in the Terry street house, and Mir Durkin slept there several nights to guard against q visit from burglars The first night he was awakened several times by what seemed to be two men wrestling with the furniture in the front room. He investigated. with no result. The next night he heard foot steps as of several men walking ,lD- stairs to the door of the kitchen. He opened the door and looked out, but there was no one ill sight. He said nothing to his prospective bride about the matter, putting it down to extreme nervousness on his part.
 They had been married a week, when, or the night of January 16. they were awakened about ? o'clock by what seemed to be a great commotion in their parlor. Durlin investigated very quickly, but could find nothing The next night. about 9 o'clock, while they were sitting ill the kitchen. they were so sure of the approach up the stairway of a party of friends that Mrs Durhin threw open the door to give them q hearty welcome. Again there was no one in sight.
 They were roughly awakened a few nights later. they declare. and found that their pillows had been pulled from under their heads and tossed to the foot of their bed. The next day they agreed to move. but fear that their friends would twit them about being afraid of ghosts deterred them from such action.
 However, last Monday and Tuesday nights. the ghcstly manifestations were so severe that they could not sleep. and late on Tuesday night they became so terror stricken that they left the place and will not return.
