1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.

consumption get a bottle Of

AMERICAN COINAGE.
The History of Inscriptions on
United States Money,

Said collector, whose fad is early
American coins, II am reminded by
the recent publication in the Times
Magazines of the mystery of the 1904
dollars, of many curious facts about an
early coinage which are very little
known outside of numismatic circles.
For instances, how many know that
the words e Pluribus Unum,' which
have appeared on various United
States coins and are on the standard
silver dollar and the nickel five cent
piece today, were never authorized by
law to be so placed ? Very few, and
yet, no doubt, as many know it as
know the latter motto. In God We
Trust, which appears on all the minor
United States coins, was likewise
originally stamped on them without
authority from the Government.
The motto e Pluribus Unum' first
appeared on the American coin in 1856.
There was no United States Mint then
and, in fact, no United States, the
constitution forming the Union not
having as yet been adopted. There
was private mint at Newburg, N.
Y, and e Piuribus Unum' was first
placed on a copper coin struck at that
mint. Very few collections have
specimens of this coin. It is very
valuable.
''In 1877 a New York goldsmith
coined a piece of money which was
known as the $16gold piece, and upon
it the motto was stamped in this
form, 'Unum E PIuribus.' Only four
of these coins are known to be in exis-
tence, and they are valued at more
than $4,000 each. New Jersey issued
copper coins in 1887 with the motto
stamped upon them. A great many of
our early coins, before there was any
legal authority for national coinage,
were made in England. Most of these
were copper, and were coined for
uiHCIOuO 0UdtCss aAu oil Jul 2 puC WOAuo
e Pluribus Unum.'
1.-The United States Mint was estab-
lished in 1899, but the use of the
national motto on any of the gold,
silver or copper coins was not author
lied or directed by any of the provis-
ions of the act establishing it. The
motto remained on our early gold and
silver coins until 1884, when it was
omitted from the Is cent pieces, and in
1887 from all silver coins. 1t was not
stamped on any coin again until it
On the nickel and the standard
silver dollar.
1.-THE words, In God We Trust,
were first placed on the two cent piece
which came into our subsidiary coinage
in 1866, but is now NO longer part Of
it. The motto was placed there by
direction of Jas. Pollock, then Director
of the o. S. Mint at Philadelphia, and
not by any legislation OF Congress
the minting of the two
cent piece. The motto was subse-
quently stamped on our silver half and
quarter dollars, the Mint thus body
declaring the theological status of the
country, regardless of the constitu-
ton Is attitude ON the subject. New

USING THE SMOKER.
Upon Its Proper Manipula ffOn De-
pends the PrOf1tabIeness of the
Bees and Hives.

No one should be without bee
smoker, even if they have but one col
ony of bees. Good manipulation of the
bees and hives depends upon smoker.
The smoker in your hands when work
Ing with the bees always makes you
the master, while without it the bees
are usually boss. The smoker Is the
beginners sure guide to success, If he
acquaints himself with the proper use
of 1t. There are many different styles
and makes of bee-smokers, but they all
answer the purpose very well. A smok-
er will cost all the way from so cents
to $1.50, but the cheapest will let you
out of many a difficulty with the bees.
Fuel to be used in smokers may con-
sist of cotton rags, shavings, but de-
cayed wood that is we'll dried is per-
haps the best
The beginner is apt to use the smok-
er too severely at first, and finally ex-
perience will teach him to use it spar
ingly. 1t is not only useless to smoke
bees too much. but it is damaging to
their best welfare at any time. Oc-
casionally we find very vindctive
colony that requires severe smoking,
but this is exceptional, and not the
rule by any means. 1t is best to try at
first to handle the colony without
smoke at all. but if they resist use but
little smoke at first. and In most cases
very small amount will answer much
better than severe smoking. I have
seen colonies driven into a fighting
mood just because they had received
too much chastising in the way of Sc
we're smoking. There are seasons of
the year that bees are more gentle than
at other times, and while they will al
low themselves to be handled without
making any resistance at all during
the season they are gathering honey
at other times they will promptly re-
bel.
After the close of the honey season
they become very irritable and usu-
ally smoke must be used to put them
in condition for handling. 1t is bestto
molest them as little as possible after
this time, other than see that each coli
ony is in proper condition, and all have
queens.-A. H. Duff, in Farm, Field and
Fireside.

Start in q Small Way

No man that has not handled hun
dreds of fowls should start In with q
big poultry plant. 1t Is better to be-
gin the poultry business as side is
sue and gradually develop it. The
side issue will teach many lessons
that will be valuable when il becomes
the main issue. The cost of learning
is considerable even with a small
flock. With large flock it frequent
ly becomes so great that the whole
enterprise is abandoned. Many a man
has sunk a large sum of money in
this kind of enterprise because he
tried to learn his lessons en- masSe,
with consequent disaster.

Evening at Sea.

The following was published In the
Vindicator in the sos and was handed
us by an old friend of Mr.. Tinsley, The
Retired Veteran who had cut it out
of the paper and preserved it as jen
both of prose and poetry:
There is but one spt t on the ocean thai
leads me to sort of fanciful realization
of future Iife 1t is that red arc made by
the setting sun especially if We be off shore,
and the birds are flying landward. The
roseate bridge thrown across the water,
swinging with the waves; the intense and
silver brightness of the centre OF the arc
framed in the evening clouds that roll
around 1T, and the cleaning wings of the
birds as they fash across the disc and dis
appear in the shining centre on their home
ward way, somehow bring to my mind the
gates ajar and souls flying from earth to
their flnal est.-ObservatiOnS of Retired
Veteran.]
Towards the border of the dark
Down falls the fading day;
Athwart the setting suns red are
The sea- birds make their way.
Landward they fly and disappear
In the unknown, that lies so near.
A roseate bridge across the waves
Swings softly to and fro;
A silver sea that red arc laves
Where sunset clouds hang low
/ see the sea-birds' cleaning wings
Flash O. 'er its disc like ghostly things.
Lie there, beyond that radiant bridge
On golden piers upheld,
Girt by the waves white crested ridge
The magic isles of ED?
Perchance in some forgotten day
Medea and Jason passed thatJway.
For me those shining waters hold
A glory far more strange
Than reflex light Of glittering gold,
Or wandering sea-birds' range =
And ancient fable never taught
A story with such meaning fraught.
Along the border of the dark
The day fades into night:
How swift across the suns red arc
Flashes the sea-bird's flight
Past Time, the imprisoned soul set free
Thus flashes to Eternity.

A Word About Comb Defects.

Side sprigs on comb are serious
defect, and it is not advisable to use
a bird in the breeding yard that has
them, as they are very apt to "show
up on the combs of the chicks from
such birds, says the Poultry Herald.
We have experimental with such
birds and have found that even where
this defect did not show up very
strong In the chicks of the first sea-
son, yet by the use of these chicks
the next season. the side sprigs would
be very numerous. 1t is better not
to make use of a bird that has them,
unless such bird is one of unusual
merit otherwise. Then one might be
excused for taking chances in using
1t. But as general thing one must
avoid such defects If possible, they
will be numerous enough without
breeding from birds that have them.

Bowel Trouble In Fowls.


Bowel trouble" says the Country
Gentleman, 'is frequent in some
poultry yards during the hot season.
In most cases 1t is preventable. Foul
drinking water, putrid meat and sour
food all tend to produce diarrhea in
the flock. Observe strict cleanliness
in the houses and yards, and give the
birds only pure food and water. Plow
or dig over the runs frequently, SOW
them down to rye or other grain and
SO keep the ground sweet. Fa11 runs
are prolific source of diseas& Keep
the grit and charcoal box full, so that
the birds may have free access to
them. Remember that one keep
clean Is worth many clean ups Do
not feed meat food too heavily while
the weather is hot, and be sare that
the fowls have plenty of fresh green
food or clean grass run. Don't over
feed. Quarantine all new arrivals"

GIRL TURNING INTO MARBLE
Strange and awful Experience of a
Chemists Daughter.

Miss Dorothy Stiles, the daughter of
a now retired chemist. formerly OF Co
lumbus, o., is dying at her father 8
home, seven miles south Of here. with
G. disease which has so far completely
set at naught the efforts of the physi
clans who have attended her. Will
liam Stiles, her father, is almost crazed
over his daughters condition, as he
takes upon"himself the blame for her
death-for. that death will ensue in
short time in the general belief.
Circumstances surrounding Miss
IStiles's illness are remarkable in the
extreme. The victim is q golden haired
girl, sixteen years of age, and until
seven months ago, her health had been
perfect. Even now the batfied doctors
can find nothing in medical annals up
on which to base precedent for the
strange case, and the girl is dying be-
fore the agonized eyes of her father
and mother.
Stiles, the chemist. was more Or less
of an experimenter in his profession,
and his home near Bay City contained
a fully equipped shop. A few months
ago-shortly before the date upon
which his daughter fell ill-he had
been experimenting with his strange
concoctions, and although it seems ab
surd to connect the two events, there
is strong belief here, shared by Stiles
himself, that his daughters sickness
or malady is directly due to his care

TURNING TO MARBLE.

The body of the girl is slowly turn
ing into marble, or at least a substance
which so closely resembles marble, that
no one has yet been found who could
tell of what material the girls body is
now composed, The aff1iction first
seized her. oddly enough at the should
er blades, hips, and feet, and has slow
ly been eating it's way through her
body.
During the first weeks of her terrible
trouble, Miss Stiles and those about
her believed the illness was merely a
stiffness of the bones, which in time
would wear away, and no attention
was paid to the case. A week later
the girl was bathing, glanced at her
foot, and was Mortified to see that in
stead of the healthy red flush which
should have marked her skin, the heel
was completely white-as white as the
terrible material which the doctors now
say form part of her body.
The frightened child ran screaming
through the house, related one who is
acquainted with the family, and her
mother, when shown the awful sight,
nearly went into state of collapse.
Her examination of the girls body re-
vealed that the white color had not
confined itself to the feet, both of which
were afflicted, but the tips of Dorothy's
shoulder blades also were similarly
CHASTITY. and her hips had begun to re-
semble the other affected portions.

IDEA IS SECUTED.

Stile IS idea Is secuted by the physic-
ians. They say that no concontion
could be made which would bring about
such dire results, but the father of the
dying. girl insists that his theory is
correct, and that the fluid be mixed,
contained properties, possessing the
power to turn his daughters flesh and
blood into cold marble.
The girl is still able to take food, but
at great effort. Her diet consists of
diluted foods. She has lain in bed for
six weeks, and no matter how long she
may lie in one position, she manifests
no restlessress or weariness, as would
be the case in an affection of the usual
kind.
The case mas attracted attention al
though efforts have been made natu-
rally enough to suppress all informa-
tion. The attending physicians place
the chlld's death at some time few
months distant. They say no earthly
power can save her, as the encroach-
ments of the disease will soon reach

FLESH LIKE METAL,

The fearful disease has mystifed the
physicians who have been called in.
Since it was first noticed, it has eaten
it's Way in until the flesh on the affect
ed parts no longer is yielding, but a
touch with any metal instrument will
give forth g. metallic ring, as though
stone had been struck. Both feet are
now turned to marble and portion of
the lower part of each leg. The right
leg proved more susceptible to the
dread disease, and is nearly paralyzed
to the knee
The hips of the afflicted girl no long
er have the power to bend. as in the
case of the feet and ankles, and the
power of action also has been taken
from her shoulders. However, the
girl can move her head slightly.
Bone, flesh, and sinew alike have
proved no obstacle to the inroads of the
strange malady. All have been chang
ed to the one CHASTITY substance, and
the death of the sufferer is merely a
matter of months.
Frenzied only partially describes the
condition of the girls parents. They
have watched day and night the silent
progress of the disease. and have seen
their only daughter approach DEATH
from condition of perfect health.
The grief f-stricken father is haunted
by aLother thought ever since the Ca
tastrophe became apparent. He thinks
| he is to blame for the illness of his
child, and his friends have been forced
| to keep close watch on his movements
for fear he would do violence to him
self. He confided to several people the
| day preceding the first signs of his
child's Illness, he had been mixing
some potion or other in the bathroom.
He declares that he spilled the stuff
into the bath tub. and when the girl
took her bath, the water was impreg-
mated with the fluid which, Stiles de-
clares, has brought her pitiful condi-
tiOn.
