PRIVATE COINAGE.
At One Time Ii Was quite Common
In This Country


The history Of the issue of coins Ia
this country by private individuals and
companies would make very interest
ing book When gold was struck in
North Carolina "A man named Bechtler
started mint Of his own there, which
was abolished by law ia 1S49. Half
eagles, quarter eagles and one dollar
pieces issued by him were largely cir
culated In the south and west. Al
though Of honest gold, they were about
21a per cent under value on an average.
About the same time Templeton Reid
coined gold In Georgia He moved to
California IN 1919 and minted eagles
and twenty five dollar pieces on n con
siderable scale Many companies and
refinerles IN California and elsewhere
made II business Of striking gold coins
during the same period. Naturally
there was a great temptation to make
these coins under weight and Of in
ferior fineness The Mormons in Utah
issued eagles, half eagles and double
eagles which bore on the diverse an
eye, with the legend, Holiness to the
Lord"
Quantities Of twenty-five cent and
fifty cent gold pieces were likewise
manufactured at San Francisco, the
former containing only about six cents
worth of the metal and the latter
twelve cents worth. Years ago a lot
Of these were taken over 70 Germany
and circulated there, which elected q
formal diplomatic protest from that
government The private minting bust
ness was finally stopped.

Distress Signals at Sen.

When ships ut sea are in want Of
provisions and starving the signal used
is a pendant with ball underneath
Should the signal be reversed /. e.,
ball uppermost it would signify that
the vessel addressed was running into
danger If a ball should be hoisted
superior to Il large square flag 1t would
denote that the cargo is on fire or ship
leaking and requires immediate assist
ance. All distant signals" are an
swered by hoisting a ball at ships

OH shore and are used at all times
when the colors Of a ships flag cannot
be distinguished. The above are inter

Great Men Who Were LittIe.

Canon Kingsley not long before his
death drew attention TO the number of
short men who could be seen IN a Lon
don crowd. He looked upon 1T as sign
OF the deterioration Of the race. But
there are those who look at II as an
indication of progress In intellectual
lines at least. for many If not most of
the great men of history have been men
below the medium height. Canute the
Great was q singularly small man. Ma
poleon was undeniably short, Nelson
had no height Of which he could boast,
and the great Conde was hardly more
than five feet tall. Hildebrand-Greg
ory VII.-the greatest of all the popes,
was quite diminutive person. Mon
taigne was short; so was Pope, "a little
crooked thing that asked questions"
so was Dryden, and so was Scarron,
who alluded to himself as "an abridg
ment Of human miseries" on account OF
his short stature and III health

Where He Made HIs Money

Years ago a gentleman settled in the
south Of England and became very
popular IN the nelghborhood. The coun-
ty families could never discover how
he had made his money, but were sat
isfied by his solemn assurance that 1t
was not in trade. Nothing could ex-
ceed the ordinary gravity Of his de-
meanor which, indeed, caused him to
be placed on the commission Of peace,
but now and then, without any appar-
ent provocation, he would burst into
such laugh as no one ever heard be-
fore except in one place.
Where they could have heard it puz-
zled the county families for five and
twenty years, but at last he was be-
trayed unconsciously by his own grand
child, who after n visit to a travelling
circus innocently exclaimed, why,
grandpa laughs just like the clown?'

Promptly the next morning Trent,
clad In the most disreputable clothes

seen hanging about the Barrydene
hedges. When the daughter Of the
house finally made her appearance 1t
was not so early, though, as he had
been led to believe. He walked In bold

the early Trents-the market garden
ones-that he'd come to help. Miss
Barry's face turned n riotOus red, and
she tried TO dissuade him, but for an
hour or more he digged and delved at

A story of Sir Robert Ball.

Sir Robert Ball, the noted British as
tronomer, on one occasion went to a
remote town III Ireland to lecture on
his favorite topic. Arriving at the sta
ton, he looked for the expected convey
ance, but found none. After all the
other passengers had disappeared a
man stepped up and said, Maybe
you're Sir Robert Ball" On receiving
an affirmative reply the man hastily
apologlzed, saying Sure, your honor,
I'm sorry kept you waiting. but l was
tould to look for an intellectual gintle-
man" Sir Robert thought that under
the circumstances 1t would be better
not to inquire what was the mans idea
Of intellectually.

Aside from their use as food by man
and beast and as fertilizer in agricul-
ture, seaweeds have numerous uses in
the arts and sciences. From them are
obtained soda, chlorides, sulphates, sill
icates, iodine bromine and gelose.
They have ever occupied an important
place in the rude pharmacopoeiao OF the
untutored savage as we'll as of the

ren. Certain varieties are used in stuff
ing chairs and beds. They are especial
ly suitable for the latter purpose, as
their aromatic smell is said to drive in

a letter from a chap who has regularly
made II n practice 10 borrow money
of him In this letter the chap who ls
always in financial difficulties surpris-
ed his correspondent by saying:

Of borrowing from you, l incIose here
with $50, which | am going to ask that
you will lay aside for me for a rainy
day"
But the artist couldn't find any re-
mittance in the letter. He searched for
It on the floor, under the table-ln fact.
everywhere he thought he might have
dropped 1t. Then quite accidentally he
turned over the sheet on which the let
ter was written and discovered this
postscript:

the magistrate no sense of honor, where
the roads bear no vehicles and the
ships no keels, where old men fly kites
and the needle points to the south.
where the place of honor Is on the left

How Rats Multiply,

increased to GJG.S sos. Calculating that
ten rats eat as much in one day as a
man, which We think IS rather under
than over the fact the consumption Of
these rats would he equal To that Of
65 ESQ men the year round and leave
eight rats IN the year to spare. Null
tiplylng in this rapid way, 1t Is provi-
dental that the rat has so many nat
ural enemies All these to the con
trary Notwithstanding, he often proves
sufficiently troublesome TO make the
community conspire against him. In
Ireland they sinGe the hair Of rat
which has been caught. but otherwise
IL is unharmcd In Germany they let
one loose with a small bell attached to
its neck The tinkling Of this as the
belled rat chases his friends produces
panic among them and causes them
10 flee the premises.
