Earl Stevens . well-known and
popular young man Of this place, was
taken to the ST. Mary's Hospital at
Rhinelander last Monday, and was
operated upon for rupture.
Earl hurt himself about two years
ago and paid no attention to it the
time. He has been unwell off and on
during that time until Monday he be-
came SO sick that his parents had to
take hiE to the hospital. After the
examination by the doctor he advised
an immediate operation, which was
done and it was successful, and re it
had been delayed single day, it is
doubtful whether Earl would have
survived it.
Mrs. Stevens returned home Satur-
day, and we are glad to announce
that Earl is resting easily and will be
able in few weeks to return home.

But the ounce and touch varied endlessly
in different places. This was greatly 10
the loss and inconveni ence Of the people.
When foreign trade began, the foreign
coins gradually came into circulation in the
ports. The Spanish dollar and the Mex
lean dollar were the coins used. These
were both Y in weight, but the Spanish
dollar was purer silver and so exchanged
for more cash. The last few years the
Spanish dollar Is gradually disappea ring
and the Mexican holds the field. The prod
uct Of the Mexican silver mines is sent to
the United States, where it is converted
into silver bricks. 1t is then sent back to
Mexico to be coined, whence 1t is exported
to China. This is exceedingly profitable to
Mexico. Some copper is put into these
dollars. Now the Chinese officials are
endeavoring to divert these profits into
Chinese hands, coining the dragon dollars in
weight and touch the same the Mexican.

writer thinks that it would be much better
to allow the whole amount to be paid N

The largest number of blind addresses
are the result of the close similarity be-
tween names of post offices in the same
state. New Jersey, for instance, has not
only Morristown, but a Mauricetown
ard Moorestown. And here is an aston
iShing list of what may be called pairs of
twin names in Pennsylvania: Bala and
Bella, Coldereek and Coles Creek, Dilliner
and Dillnger, Drifton and Drifting, Dru-
more and Dunmore, Hamilton and Ham
linton, Roland AMI Rowland. Mistakes in
ADDRESSING are inevitable when such
names as these are given by word of mouth,
as friends in parting beg each other to
''be sure to let me hear from you" This
class now and then furnishes some amuse-
ment, as, for instance, where the name ot
Helmetta, N j., appears as Hell Meadow"

The apparatus for dealing with this
class Of difficulties consists chiefly of
remarkably high outfit Of books of refer
ence-directories of cities, gazetteers. di-
rectories of every trade and occupation,
the army list, the navy list. the register
of lighthouses, registers of persons spe-
cially interested in various artistic and
scientific pursuits (such as the Naturalists

lister. 1t needs a trained judgment, al
most equal to an instinct in it's effect, to
guess in which OF these books name
is most likely to be found. 1t may have
been easy. for instance, to decide on gen.
eral appearance that Miss Mary Murphy,

ope is addressed, need not be looked for
in the Social Register. but many cases re-
uuire a much closer consideration of all
the details.
The cream of the collection, regarding
it as a museum of epistolary curiesities,
is in the foreign written addresses. Most
of these have been condemned as 'hards''
and laid aside by the sorting clerks who
handle the incoming foreign mails, and
the necessity for a specialist to do this
work of deciphering in the New York
post office is doubtless due to that city's
