"E Iluribus Unuin" on Our Coins.
According to the United States mint
odicials, the words, ~ Pluribus
unuH," as they appear on our coins,
are there without the sanction OF law.
The legend first appeared upon II cop
per coin STRUCK at the Newburg
IN. W mint in the year 1856. The
United States was very young Mt that
time and could not afford the luxury Of
mint, 50 4 private individual of the
name OF Brasher opened the Newburg
coming establishment with the inten-
ton of turning out.moncy of the realm
for all corners. Exactly how the words
"E Pluribus Unum' came to be used
as motto is not known, but one thing
is certain = the Brasher copper coin
bearing that legend and the date of
lISG 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 large sized gold piece, producing
the coin known to the numismatics as
'Brasher's twenty" The Blasher
twenty" was not a twenty dollar gold
piece, however, for 1t lacked ST 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 Il Pluri-
bus" instead of 'E Pluribus Unum."

The VIII to Die.

Two or three years ago, in Lanca-
shire town, willie a fair was in prog
ress, to the proprietor of steam
roundabout there came a shopkeeper
whose wife was lying supposedly at
the point of death. ~rhou nun stop
thy organ" he said. "Why?" asked
the other. "Thou nun stop it, tell
thai. My missus cawn't dec" was the
reply, a. dialogue for which the writer
can voucll.
A Clergyman had placed on record q
similar instance. Visiting a sick pa
rishioner, 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.
You're not going to de- he said.
"What! I'm not dying, parson? Then,
thank God, I won't@ That woman was
well in next to no time and round at
the vicarage thanking its master for
having saved her life.-St. James Ca
Zette.

The preparation of peppermint is es-
pecially an American industry. The
peppermint is cut when in bloom, like
hay. dried, placed in close wooden watts
and steamed. The oil cells burst and
the oil passes upward with the steam,
which is condensed and conducted into
a receiver, where the oil rises and is
plped off. 1t takes about $50 pounds
of dry peppermint to produce one
pound Of oil. An acre of land yields
from six to ten pounds Of oil, often
more, even as high as fifty pounds.

Every town has a knocker. A man
who goes around with a long face
and throws cold water upon every
proposition that confronts the peo-
pie for solution. He goes to pro-
spcctive promoters and tells them
the thing they propose to do is i'm
possible and that if they do it, he
sees only failure for them. He sits
about in public places and uses his
hammer perpetually. He has driven
many good opportunities away from
his town by his foolish knocking.
Sometimes he has considerable in
iluence, and is consequently the
more to be dreaded But whether
he is influential to any great degree

plies his trade is able to accomplish
