Recoinaga of old Coin.

From the resumption Oh Spccle pay
: ments in 1879 down to the year 1900
The constant increase in the stock Of
subsidiary coin required by the grow
ing population and trade of the coun-
try was supplied by the zrecoinage Of
old and uncurrent subsidiary coins
which accumulated in the Treasury
under the resumption act. In 1900
as this stock was running low, au-
thority was granted in the monetary
act of March II to the Secretary of
the Treasury to divert bullion pur-
! chased under the act Of July ID, 1890,
for the coinage Of silver dollars TO
Sthe coinage of subsidiary pieces. In
der this authority about $33,0O0,000
has been coined since 1900.
The stock Of bullion in the Treas.
fsury was exhausted more than year
: ago and since then no bullion has
been available for SUBSIDIARY use.
The Stock Low.
The stock in the Treasury had be-
: come so low that it was apparent,
{ according to the Department, that the
demands of constantly enlarging
trade could not be met without addi-
tional coinage. The Secretary of the
Treasury was in doubt whether exist
ing statutes authorized him to buy
bullion for this purpose and more
over, was of the opinion that it ,sould
be better policy to meet future de-
mands for subsidiary coin by the re-
coinage of.silver dollars in the Treas
ury, and so recommended to Con.
gTess. Congress, however, having
failed to act upon his recommended
ton Secretary Shaw requested an op-
inion from the Attorney General as
to his authority to purchase under e1-
isting law and received a favorable
reply, based on section 1886 of the
Revised Statutes. The policy now
announced was accordingly dcterm-
ined upon.
The government has been out Of
the market for the purchase of sill
yer since 1898 except as the agents
of the Philippine government in the
purchase of little over thirteen and
one-half million ounces costing ST.
376,995, OF an average of $O.54 1-2.
The lowest price for silver was
touched on December 3, 1902, when
the price on the London market was
equivalent to $0.47S per fine ounce;
The average for last year on the Lon
don market was 81 cents per ounce
and for The month Of July last &C
cents per ounce.

Washington, D. c., special.-For

GOOD coLoRs FOR HOUSES.

1t is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints
and coloTs wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
OF Just what tints are best TO use is,
therefore, rather hay.
One writer on paint, in a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those Colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
VIII protect house bette" than those
which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red is a good color because it
turns back, or reflects. the rcd rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays
In general, therefore the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, 50 far as wear is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds. browns, grays
and olives which. considering the va
rious tones these tlnts will produce.
will give wide raEge from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints. such as cold
yellows Qike lemon), cold green's
(likc grass green. etc), and the blues.
IT must be understood that no viz
tue is claimed for tints in themselves.
irrespective OF the materials used in

GAS USED UNDER LIME kILNs.
Innovation ty Connecticut Company
Is a Success.

The New England Lime company,
Of Winstead, Conn, asserts that It is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow
ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the
discovery of gas as a substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con-
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability of gas
have been demonstrated beyond q
doubt. Had it been impossible to find
substitute for wood, said a member
OF the company. it would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no cinders-and the
lime produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro-
duces more intense heat, and conse-
quently increases the capacity of the
kiins. The daily output at the COM
pany's kilns is increased from 80 bar.
rels per kiln to 100 baTrels, or a total
of 700 barrels daily.

THE STORY.

~ Moses did not return. Days grew
into weeks, and the weeks into a
month, and still the absent leader
had failed to put in an appearance,
so that even Aaron was troubled by
the long absence, and found increas-
ing difficulty in answering the qucr-
rs Of the people and quieting their
murmurings.
This condition of affairs in the
camp OF Israel encouraged certain Of
the more turbulent spirits to speak
openly against Moses and to call into
question not only his devotion to Is
rael, but his honesty of purpose in
leading them thither, as well as his
right to remain away for so long

next session OF congress to prevent
another appropriation for the free dis
tribution of common garden seeds.
Congress now expends $242 900 a year
In giving away the commonest varie-
ties of peas. beans. turnip. squash and
pumpkin seeds. They are divided into
100000 packets so that the packets
cost about half a cent each. But as
large part OF the appropriation Is
expended in clerk hire. packeting the
seed. etc, the actual value of the
seed in packet is much less than
half cent. These packets are put
up in packages Of five packets. the
total cost of the packages being about
two cents each. and they are purchas-
able anywhere at five cents. Each
member of congress gets 10000 such
packages. which he distributes TO the.
voters of his district.
The farmers say that these pack
ages contain so little seed as to be Of
no value to them. while the total ap-
preparation, If expended in sending
out really rare and valuable seed. or
In maintaining national agricultural
college, or divided among the state
agricultural colleges, would be OF i'm
mense value to the farming interests.
They therefore protest against the
waste of public money. The seeds
men claim that as congress has al
ready expended 100000 in giving
away turnip and watermelon seed. it
is time it should give away saws, axes.
or hoes and give the seed trade a rest.
Those who believe that congress
should cut off this pcrquisite OF ita
members now used for political pur-
poses. are writing their senators and
representatives, urging them to abol-
ish the free seed distribution. and the.
National Grange, many state and local
oranges, horticultural, agricultural
and other societies are adopting reso-
lutens condemning it. Mr.. William
