derful followers of principle and truth
in art, the japanese, have lesson to
teach us. When a Japanese connois-
seur breaks some precious piece of pot
terry or porcelain, he does not throw it
away with disdain, neither does he try
to deceive the casual observer into the
belief that it is unbroken. Instead, he
has it joined together, generally with
gold lacquer, in such fashion that the
fracture is boldly shown and comment
ed on. as it were, by the frank exposi-
ton of the method by which it is made
good. Curious enough, distinctly new
and charmingly decorative effect is in
most cases added by these irregular
gold lines, while the sense of crafts
manship is tickled by the marvellous
skill exhibited by the repairer in thus
welding together the two dissimilar
materials. Truth is preserved at no
loss of artistic beauty. Indeed, once
more it is made clear that the two may
always walk hand in hand.-Connois-

refuse to accept in payment for pur-
chases coins that are badly worn,
when they know beyond doubt that
such coins are genuine. The result is
that people who can i'll afford the loss
are frequently left with worn nickles,
dimes, quarters and even halves, which
they cannot pass.
Some firms will take this money, but
the majority will not, even though it
has been decided in the courts that so
long as piece bore any semblance to
money, beyond reasonable doubt, it is
worth its face value.
A short time since the writer got
hold of silver dime that was badly
worn (any one could tell it was dime,
however, and tried to pass it, without
success. A wager was made with
friend that the piece was worth its face
value. In order to see how many mer-
chants would refuse the piece, a negro
boy was sent to make a purchase. He
tried half a dozen stores, but none
would take it. Even the pOstoffice re-
fused to accept it in payment for post
age stamps.
The piece was then enclosed in an
envelope and sent to Washington, and
the inquiry made as to it's value In
reply, the director of the mint sent the
following letter:
Treasury Department, Bureau of
the Mint, Washington, March 4,
1902.
