MINT MARKS. -

Every coin of the United States, OF
twenty-five cent piece and over. shows
distinctly what mint it comes from.
I here are only four PLACES of coinage
in the entire country. These are stu
ated at Philadelphia San Francisco,
New Orleans and Carson City. The
first mint was established at Philadel-
phia, and as the founding OF other
places Of coinage was then unforeseen,
there was no necessity for putting q
mark on coins which came from that
city. But as the country grew in ter
ritory 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 gov
ernment could keep track of the out
put from each place. aad, II an error
should occur in the coinage, could at
cnce locate the mint from which the
defective coin had come. All coins are
supposed to weigh exactly the same
as others of the same denomination.
w ullt Ol lit olIC uouu, but AASeAS ~
tention is paid to the differences IN
weight that every day wear and tear
occasions on silver pieces, on the other
hand, the slieh est deviation from the
fixed standard in a goll coin necessl-
tates the trouble Of recoining that
piece. For these reas ms small marks
were put on coins which came from
mints other than that located at Phlla-
delphia
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 a letter
in the place DESIGNATED. it will be
| either small S, o, or the two double
letters &C. Those b airing the letter
are from the mint at San Francisco.
Others having the letter are from
New Orleans, while those bearing the
| letters &C are from Carson City. IL
you do not find any letter on the coin
at all, it is an indication that the
coin came from the city OF "Brotherly

BIRD vIeNTRILOQUIsTs.

Many birds have the gift Of ventrilo-
ouism. They use their power to good
effect because by it they are often en-
ahled to mislead their enemies, al
though ornithologists say they do SO
unconsciously, because often when the
birds resort to ventriloQuism to throw
their persuers of their track silence
would have served the purpose much
better. The pinnated grouse. or prairie
chicken, has this power to q remark
able degree, as its tone when produced
but a few rods from the listener often
has the effect Of C. sound originating
nearly q mile distant. The little bird
known as the Maryland yellow throat,
which lives in low, bushy swamps dur
ing the summer, shows considerable
ability as q ventriloQuist, and during
the nesting season makes use Of the
power as a protection-though appar-
emily an unnecessary one, for the nest
Of this species is generally so carefully
hidden from sight that 1t is almost
impossible to find it. When person
approaches the vicinity of its nest,
though probably within few feet Of
the intruder, it will throw its voice
back and forth so realistically that it
is almost impossible to locate the bird

He was eager for a playmate.
He was hungry for toy.

There was little room for him.
He must never scatter playtnines,
He must never romp and play;
Every room must be in orde.

Of his throat and neck until there was

at the point where the throat-latch cir

keep his throat in this abnormal con-
dition until he was hitched and the
rider was out OF sight. Then he would
relax the muscles, rub his head against
the post until the top Of the bride

Of the laxity of the throat-latch 1t was
an easy matter for him to pull his

THE COUNTY PAPER.

The masses know but little of
the struggles of the local or county
papers. They appear every week
and the locals are hastily read
and the paper is thrown aside,
with the remark that there is
nothing in it. Too often this is
true, and true because the strug-
Cling editor has not had the help
and encouragement that his en-
terprise deserves. So few are will
ing to furnish items of news and
give material help by subscribing
and paying the subscription and
advertising in it's columns. Many
village has grown into a town
and many town into a city
through the influence Of the local
paper. 1t has brought wealth and
prominence to many, while it has
remained in poverty. Many would
feel ashamed to live in town or
county where there is no local
paper, and yet fail to give sup
port to the one they hae.-Christ-
