80 Piuribus Unulnv on Our Coins.
According to the United States mint
officials, the words, "E Pluribus
Unum," as they appear on our coins,
are there without the sanction of law.
The legend first appeared upon a cop
per coin struck " at the Newburg
On. " mint in the year 17S6. The
United States was very young at that
time and could not afford the luxury of
q mint, so private individual of the
name of Brasher opened the Newburg
coming establishment with the inten-
ton of turning out money Of the realm
for all corners. Exactly how the words
"E Pluribus Unum" came to be used
rs a motto is not known, but one thing
is certain = the Brasher copper coin
bearing that legend and the date of
1IS6 is the most valuable metal disk
ever minted on this continent.
Some time after coming his famous
copper with the odd Latin motto as
above described Brasher tried his hand
on a large sized gold piece, producing
the coin known to the numismatics as
"Brasher's twenty" The Brasher
twenty was not a twenty dollar gold
piece, however, for it lacked "a of
weighing enough but of late years it
has become very scarce and valuable
because of the fact that the legend in
scribed upon it reads ''Unum e Pluri-
bus" instead of "E Pluribus Unum."

a CanfuI of Wind

The origin of the phrase, "a capful
OF wind can be traced to Il Morse
king, Eric VI. who died in 907 A. d.
He was credited with the useful power
of directing the wind to blow where he
wished by the simple method of turn
ing his cap to that point of the COM
pass. His powers were much appreci-
ated and trusted and resulted in his
being known as windy cap" There is
no evidence as to whether he could reg
ulate the force of the wind as well as
the direction. Presumably he could, or
his faithful believers would not have
been so many. A "bagful of wind is
another common expression and indi-
Gates something like gale. This has
been traced down to the classical leg
end of Aeolus and his captive winds
confined in bags.

The VIII to Die.

Two or three years ago, in Lanca-

whose wife was lying supposedly at
the point of death. Thou nun stop

the other. Thou mum stop it, 1 tell

reply, a dialogue for which the writer
can vouch.
A clergyman had placed on record a
similar instance. Visiting a sick pa
rislioner, he was told by the doctor that
the sicliroom was full of mourners. as
surfing the woman that she was about
to die. And the woman was dying
from suggestion, though organically
there was not the least reason why she
should. The clergyman entered the
room and cleared out the doleful ones.

Lime and Clover.

Various explanations have been Of
fered for the soil condition known as
Glover Sickness" or the failure of
soils otherwise productive to produce
good crops of clover, and it is doubt
less true that various causes do con
tribute to this result. But that in
many cases it may be due simply to
an acid condition of the soil, which can
be readily corrected by the judicious
application of lime. is very clearly
shown in experiments recently reported
by c. f. Thorne of the Ohio station,
and the character of the growth of
clover furnishes a good means of de-
termining whether lime is needed.
