THE DESIGN OF THE NEW COINS.
Gold and Silver Pieces Planned for the
PhilIpplnes-Medals for Heroes.

Charles E. Barber, chief coiner at
the Philadelphia mint, has been in
Washington in consultation with the
director of the mint and the secretary
of war in regard to designs for a new
medal Of honor and for the silver
coins which will be issued for the
Philippine islands If the bill now pend
ing in the senate relating to the cur
rency Of the archipelago becomes la
The present medal Of honor, which
issued by authority Of congress, to So.
diers for distinguished service and
personal bravery, was designed forty
years ago, and is not considered, eth.
er in artistic merit or design, appro-
pirate for the present day. In the case
of silver coins for the Philippines it is
proposed to get up the designs and
prepare the dies in anticipation of the
passage of the bill. This is a tedious
work, requiring great care and involv-
ing labor that will extend over several
weeks.
The prevailing distress in the Phil
ippines growing out of the deprecia-
ton of the silver currency in use there
and the imperative urgency of rem
edial legislation encourage the secre-
tary of war and other responsible
authorities to hope congress will take
speedy action on the relief bill, and in
anticipation of that it is proposed to
have the mint begin work at once on
the silver coins. The bill makes the
United States gold dollar. of 25.S
grains the standard unit Of value,
thus placing the islands on a gold
basis. 1t also authorizes the coinage
of a silver peso of 416 grains, two OF
which are to have the value OF one
gold dollar.
1t is estimated at the war depart
ment that it will take about six
months to get the dies prepared. At
conference held recently between
the director of the mint and Colonel
Edwards, chief of the insular bureau,
the design for the coins were passed
upon. and Colonel Edwards intends to
have the work begun Immediately.
The design for the silver peso is to
bear the words, "Un Peso-Filiplnas,"
with a female figure striking a ham,
mer on an anvil. In the distance a
smoking volcano Is seen.
The copper coins are to bear the
same scene, with a male figure sitting
by the anvil. On the reverse is the
American shield, surmounted by an
eagle, and the words, United States
of America" with the date.-Washing-

THE GOOD WIFE SHE SCORED.
What Happened When One MIR. Good
Came Home to Dinner.

When Mr.. Good came home to din
ner he found his wife in a state akin
to dependency, which was quite un-
usual with her.
why my dear, what is the mat
ter?' he anxiously inquired.
Matter enough" said she. "Our
servant has left us, and here is a
letter from Sarah Armitage saying
she will be here tomorrow, and OK
poets to stay over Sunday with us.
What on earth is to be done?"
"Oh, ,hat will be all right said
Mr.. Good. Harold can act as dining
room waiter, Mile can be maid of
all work, and you can be cook. You
know you are a good one. We will
get along swimmingly."
"And what will you do?" quietly
inquired Mrs. Good.
ME? Oh, I'll be gentleman" he
replied.
every well, we will try our plan
Edmund" she said cheerfully, but
am afraid that we shall feel rather
awkward in our unaccustomed roles.
Mr.. Good says she was as cheerful
as a lark all the remainder OF the
eyening-Cassells Journal.

Or. Milburn's Prophecy.

DR.. Milburn, the blind chaplain Of
the United States senate, who has
resigned, being now in his oightieth
year, once said to a senator: Never
allow a session to be opened without
prayer having been frat offered. II
you do my boys will be sure to get
into trouble. THE same senator recalls
that on the day Of the Tillman-M
Laurin fracas DR.. Milburn was too III
to attend and the session was opened
without prayer. The verable chaplain
deyoutly believes that the .iouole re-
suited from that omission.

Maps Are Incorrect.

1t is a popular saying in Scotland
that when the North Pole is discover
ed Scotchman will be found settled
there. 1t is not surprising, therefore,
to find a Scotchman setting matters
right in the matter of the Canadian
Rockies. The existing maps are all
wrong. according to the Rev. James
Outram, the gentleman in question
Mountains of great size exist where
none are shown on the official charts
One he discovered stands 11,700 feet
above sea level. Mr. Outram explored
an ice field which he estimates to be
200 square miles in area. II supplies
water to three different oceans-the
Atlantic by way of the Saskatchewan,
the Arctic by the Athabasca and the
Pacific by the Columbia river.

Fixing the Weddlnu Date.

A curious old marriage custom, call
ed locally "the settling" still survives
in County Donegal, Ireland. and in the
Scottish districts of Kintyre and Cow
al. After the marriage has been pub
licly announced. the friends of the
couple meet at the house Of the brides
parents to fix suitable date for the
ceremony. A bottle of whisky is open
ed, and as each guest drinks to their
happiness. he names date. When
each guest has named date, an aver
age is struck. and settling is COM
plete. Neither the bride nor the bride
groom ever thinks of protesting
against the date so curiously chosen.

over Precipice Did Not Hurt Big
Rocky Mountain Ram.
The man who tells of having been
forced to kill deer out of season to
save himself from being run over by a
black tail has been indicated. Such
stories have always been put down as
merry jests over an lnfraction of the
game laws, or as fictions inspired by
the pipe.
But George w. Wilson, a Denver
contractor, vouches for an incident
that occurred In the mountains a
short time ago which shows that fact
may be stranger than dreams. He is
Interested in an enterprise that con-
templates bringing the waters of the
upper Grand river across the range to
irrigate the land In the Poudre valley.
Men have been at work for several
months constructing q ditch in the
neighborhood of Cameron Pass, be-
tween the headwaters of the Grand
the Cache la Poudre.
"A gang of our men were eating din
ner on bridge on the mountain side"
said Mr.. Wilson, when they were
astounded to see a mountain sheep
drop in their midst as If from the
clouds. 1t was big ram, with enorm.
GUS horns. 1t landed among them,
scattering the cups and dishes and
creating CONSERVATION. The foreman
threw down a coffee pot and grabbed
at the animals legs, and several of
the boys sprang up to help him. But
the ram was too quick for them. II
gained its footing in a moment and
sprang away, and was soon bounding
up the rocks. Reaching a safe place
on an overhanging cliff, it stopped and
paved up the loose rocks, stamping
with excitement.
THE boys watched the performance
/ in amazement. Before any of them
could recover his self-possession
enough to go for a gun the big horn
poised and gathered itself for a few
seconds and then leaped out into
space. Evidently It had tried this
jump when it alighted in the camp
This time, however. It made a more
accurate calculation and put more
force into its effort, for il shot away
over the men, descending in the rocks
belo wthem. II struck on uneven
ground, rolled over several times, but
in an instant was on its feet and

was soon out Of reach and sight
