About Star Points on Coins.

Few people, with the exception of
coin collectors, notice such minor de.
tails, but it is a rather interesting fact
to note that on one side of some Of
our coins the stars have five points,
as upon the flag, while on the other
side the stars have SIX" an official
of the Washington mint recently re-
marked.
I'm English hcraidry," ne contin-
ued "a correct star had six or more
enthusiastically six. When designs
for the first American coins were
made the heraldic usage was followed
and the stars given six points. The
flag of the nation was made up very
largely from the coat Of arms of the
Washington family, in which, for
some reason, the stars have but FIVE
points.
ION the diverse of our present
quarter and half dollar the stars, 10
in number, are six pointed while on
the reverse they are five pointed. This
difference is due to the fact that
the reverse of these coins is simply q
copy of the great seal Of the United
States, except that the clouds are
omitted. On the great seal and on
the seal of the president the stars
are five pointed, while the seal of
the house of representatives shows
six pointed stars"

Rnadside Trees In Hanover.

The German province of Hanover,
says the st. Louis PostDspatch, owns
1867 miles OF highways, on which
there are 1874 fruit trees-pear,
cherry, plum and apple-sufiicient If
set out so to an acre to form an or
chard of more than 300 square miles.
The fruit raised on these trees Is a
source Of income for the province,
witch sometimes makes 100000 year
by selling the products of this elon.
gated orchard.
The province maintains a nursery of
4O3 acres to supply young trees for
roadside use aud for promoting the in
terests Of fruit culture. The profit Of
a tree is very small, but the Hanover
people do not worry about that. Shade
is afforded in summer, the roadbed Is
free from dust, the presence of trees
retards the washing out of the soil
from the banks into the roadside
bitches and the attractive appearance
of the roadside stimulates an interest
in tree culture and benefits the prov
ince in many other ways. They find 1t
worth while.
