Hard Seats.

1t is not well for sedentary work ers
to sit on cushions. In man, owing
chiefly to his erect carriage, there is
a strong development of the muscles
of the pelvis and the thighs, which
almost completely clothe the strong
bones Of that region. In the seated
position, to obviate undue pressure,
nature has provided proper cushion
over these bones. Hyrtls saying Is
we'll known, 1--WE sit on the fat Of the
seat as on q mattress"
In sitting ON a smooth and hard
surface the body rests upon three main
points, but in sitting on soft cushion
pressure is impaired to the muscles
and interferes with the circulation in
all their parts.
Great attention has been paid to this
matter in the construction Of bicycle
saddles and, speaking generally, with
very beneficial results. Nothing can
be said against a certain amount of
covering, if not too yielding, but the
Office stool, properly shaped, is an ex'
cellent seat.-Pearsons Weekly.

rhe Confederate Gent.

There was only one complete do
made for the purpose Of codntng money
by the Confederate States of America
that for a one cent piece, which was
made by Lovett, the Philadelphia en-
graver, in 1861. After he had finished
the dies Mr.. Lovett found that he was
unable to send them TO the persons
who had ordered tho work done, and,
becoming alarmed, he struck off"
twelve nickel cents and then carefully
secreted both coins and dies. For
twelve long years the engraver kept
his secret which was finally revealed
through an accident. One day in 1878
he went to the hiding place of the rare
coins and selected one for a pocket
piece and within the month passed it
out unknowingly to HaZeltine, the
Philadelphia restaurant keeper. This
man. knowing the piece to be Lovett's
work, sent it to J. G. Randall, the coin
collector. After some little trouble
Hazeltine and Randall succeeded in
buying the die, and from it they struck
fifty-five copper pieces, twelve in silver
and seven in gold. This accomplished,
they mutilated the die, and coin dealers
now hold Confederate cents at very
high figure.

Cows milk is said to be abhorred by

Cheese in Mexico is simply eurds des-

stampede tribe of mountain Indians,
They resent it as a practical joke in
questionable taste. But why the Ko-
reans eschew ice cream, as a traveller
reports is the case, is less easy to ex-
