New Orleans and Carson City. The

there was no necessity for putting a
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 we're developed
more and more each year. it became
necessary to establish other minis, and
to adopt a method whereby the gov

defective coin had come. All coins are
supposed to wigh exactly the same
as others of the same denomination.
While on the one hand, but little at
tention is paid to tire differences in
weight that every day wear and tear
occasions on silver pieces, on the other
hand, the slightest deviation from the
fixed standard in a gold coin necessi-
tates the trouble of recoining that
piece. For these reas ms small marks
were put on coins which came from
minis other than that located at Phila-

To find the marks, turn the coin so
as TO observe the tail side. Then look
directly below either the eagle Or the

BIRD =

Many birds have the gift of ventrilo-
uuism. They use their power to a good
effect because by it they are often en-
abled to mislead their enemies. al
though ornithoIogists say they do so
uneonsciously. because often when the
birds resort to ve%ntriloquism 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 a remark
able degree, as its lone when produced
but a few rods from the listener often
has the effect of a 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 a ventriloQuist, and during
the nesting season makes use of the
power as q protection-though appar-
emily an unnecessary one, for the nest

thing in the world to catch him. Real

He had a way of swelling the muscles
of HIS throat and neck until there was
probably a difference of several inches
at the point where the throat-latch cir
cled his neck near the head. He would
keep his throat in this abnormal on
dition until he was hitehed 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
slipped over his ears, and then. because
OF the laxity Of the throat-Iatch it was

head through the frame of the bride
