"RELIcs OF THE CIVIL WAR"

BargaiEs!-in army rifles,
Shown in a city store;
Piled up high on a counter
Stacked on the polished floor.
Rusty and old and clumsy,
Battered and scratched and married.
They are brought like slaves to market,
Placed under bargain card!
Long have you been in hiding,
Veterans of the war!
Many the shifts and changes
That have brought you where you are.
Like poor old Rip Van Wrinkle
You belong to another day.
To different scenes and duties
To times that have passed away.
Old guns, could you speak, you tell US
Tales of the battlefield:
OF death which you wrought, and havoc,
Of wounds which Eave long been healed
You would tell of a dauntless courage,
Of purpose grim and high
Whca made the men who carried you
Ready to win or die.
Heroes they won, and gave us
The country we call 1.-The free!
Where now all are friends and brothers
In the love of liberty.
And stacked there on the counter
queer old-fashioned band,
Are the tried and true companions
That helped them save the land.
Bargains in army rifes!''
All, well-we will take them home,
And count them among our treasures
In the days that are to come.
As they hang above our firesides
While their age and fame increase,
May their last days be their best days
And they come to their end in peace.
Mary E. Albright in Boston Transcript.

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.
Reasons for Difference in Tint
Metal for French Vintage.

Some time ago a Frenchman placed to-
gether a number of gold coins of French
mintage of the beginning, middle and end
of the last century. He was much sur
prised to see that they differed in color
He set about finding out the reasons for
this difference, and the results of his in
vestigations have been published i'll La
Nature.
There is a paleness about the yellow of
the 10 and 20 franc pieces which bear the
effigies of Napoleon |. and Louis NVIII.
that is not observed in the gold pieces of
later mintage. One admirer of these coins
speaks of their color as a beautiful pale
ness" and expresses regret that it is lack
ing in later coins. The explanation of it
is very simple. The alloy that entered
into the French gold coins Of those days
contained as much silver as copper, and
it was the silver that gave the coins their
interesting paleness.
The coins of the era Of Napoleon III.
were more golden in hue. The silver had
been taken out of the alloy.
The gold coins of today have still
warmer and deeper tinge of yellow This
is because the Paris mint, as we'll as that
in London, melts the gold and the copper
alloy in hermetically -sealed boxes, which
prevents the copper from being somewhat
bleached, as it always is when it is at
tackled by hot air. So the present coins
have the full WarmneSS of tint that a
copper alloy can give.
If the coins of today are not SO hand
some in the opinion of amateur collectors
as those issued by the first Napoleon, they
are superior to those of either of the Ma
poleons in the fact that it costs less to
make them. The double operation of the
oxidation of the copper and cleaning it off
the surface of the coin with acids is no
longer employed, and the large elimination
of copper from the surface of the coins,
formerly practiced made them less resist
ant under wear and tear than are the
coins now in circulation.

1t Served Us Well in the Past, but
New Conditions Demand a Change.

We have found that even among our

Prof. Woodrow Wilson in the Atlantic.
They give us unframed officials, and an
expert civil service is almost unknown

petty men of no ambition, without hope
or fitness for advancement. They give
us SO many elective offices that even the
most conscientious voters have neither
the time nor the opportunity to inform
themselves with regard to every candi-
date on their ballots, and must vote
for great many men of whom they
know nothing. They give us, conse-
quently, the local machine and the local
boss; and where population crowds In
terests compete, work moves strenuously
and at haste, life is many-sided and
without unity, and voters of every blood
and environment and social derivation
