HOG COINS OF BERMUDA.
Rare Specimens of Early Minting for
the English Colonies.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The sale of two Sommer Islands shiings
of slightly different design the other day
for $50 and s61 calls attention To the earliest
coins struck for the English colonies In
America. No coin collector is satisfied that
he has fairly started on his way to acquire a
representative set of colonial coins unless
he has a specimen of the "Hoggie" by
which the Sommer Islands cent or shilling
is generally known
These coins We're struck in England for
use in Bermuda, the Sommcr Islands are
now known. The name Bermuda is sup
posed to have been given the islands be-
cause of the fact that a Spanish vessel
named Bermudas was wrecked there some
time in the latter part of the sixteenth CEN
fury. Another account states that the
name came from Juan Bermudas, by whom
the islands were discovered in 1882. Aboard
at the time was a number Of hogs which
were being conveyed to the colonies in the
Spanish West Indies. The hogs swan
ashore and in time became very numerous.
In 1900 an English expedition to Virginia
under command of Sir George Sommer, was
also wrecked on the Bermudas and the
crew subsisted for time on the wild hogs.
1t Is said that Sir George Sommer. from
whom the Islands were afterward named
made another trip to the islands and died
from excessive eating of the fresh pork
In 1872 number of colonsts of the Vr-
ginia company settled on Smiths Island In
1915 appointed Daniel Tucker governor of
the islands Under the latter's administra-
ton the first specimens of the copper coins
or "hogge money" made their appearance
There were but three denomnatons-shil-
ling. sixpence and threepence. The shilling
shows hog on the diverse. Capt. Smith
explains, In memory Of the first landing
with XII directly above. Around the CEN
trail design is beaded circle. At the Dor
der is the inscription, "Sommer Islands,"
while at the extreme edge is another beaded
circle. On the reverse is a crude represen-
tation of full-rigged ship, with flag fly
ing from each of the four masts. around
which is a beaded circle at the edge The
coin is Of copper. weighing III grains. some
what lighter than our old large coppers. and
bears no date, although 1t Is thought it was
struck some time in 1915
! The design of the sixpence is nearly the
same as that Of the shilling, but above the
hog are the Roman numerals "VI" The
Inscription reads "Sommer Hands," with
the first So In the latter word omitted.
: The only specimen of the sixpence known
was dug up in a garden in Bermuda some
years ago, and afterward came into the
possession of q Brooklyn collector.

Billy Shevlin, who had also acted (unsus-
pectedly as unoficially) as advance agent
of Give Standish's tour, had in three re-
spects excelled the authorized agent In

the other had been a failure. In the sec

rush was on again. At FIRST anticipating
the easy triumph which their type so love,
the toughs had turned from the milder fun
OF frightening girl OF the better class TO
the momentary work of thrashing the soli-
tary man who had interfered with that
simple amusement. Now, bleeding faces,
swollen eyes and more than one fractured
jaw and nose had transformed the earlier
phase of rough spirits into one OF murder
Gus rage.
The man who had so mercilessly punished
them must not be allowed to escape alive.
The tough never fights fair. When fists
fail gouge, bite or kick is considered
quite allowable. When. as in the present
instance, the intended victim is so protected
as to render these tactics difficult OF sue
cess. pockets are usually ransacked for
more formidable weapons.
Ansefs arrival on the scene had but
checked the onrush. No two men. big and
powerful as both were, could subdue
hold out against that assault.
Give struck, right. left with the swift
ness Of thought. And each blow crashed
into yielding, reeling flesh.
Down whirled Ansel's chair on the bullet
head OF one man. and down went the man
beneath the impact.
Up whirled the chair. and again it de-
scended on another head-descended and
shivered into kindling wood.
Dropping the fragments, Kalr ranged
close to Give. and together the two struck
out, the one with the wild force and fury
of a kicking horse, the other with the
colder but no less terrific accuracy OF the
trained athlete.
A tough. ducking one of Ansel's Wild
swings ran in and caught him about the
waist. Doubling his left leg under him.
Karl caught the mans stomach with the
point of his knee. The assalant collapsed,
gasping. But the momentary lapse of the
tall New Englanders fsuc attack had
opened a breach through which two more
men rushed and flung themselves bodily
on him.

Deterioration Of Railroads.

We have had a long series OF years OF
vast prosperity. The general business of
the country has been able and willing to
pay for the making of good railroads. for
ample, modern equipment and for prompt,
rapid service. Furthermore. the shipping
public and the investing public together
certainly have paid over to the men In rail-
road control an amount OF money quite
sufficient to have given us a series OF
trunk lines like those of England and Ger
many, with well-graded roadbeds. heavy
double tracks, permanent bridges, decent
stations. ample terminal facilities and good
rolling stock and general equipment For
all these things our prosperous American
public has not only been willing and able to
pay, but has actually planked down the
money. What is the result? We have a
small and select population of plutocrats
who control our railroads and have some
how managed to put into their private pock-
cts some hundreds or thousands of millions
Of dollars through their ability to skim the
cream of the countrys prosperity, while at
least a hundred thousand miles of our rail-
road system has become unfit for the ordi-
nary needs of current traffic, with the rot

curves and bad grades surviving from
the early period Of railroad engineer

Nature Books.
From the London Spectator.

from the LONDON Specthtof
The stream of books about birds and bird
life in the woods. the fields and the gar
dens flows from the publishers houses with
undated force. Some writers dilute the

others regale us with a little entomology
and botany; and others, again. introduce
dash Of astronomy and describe the rising
and setting Of the planets. But ornithology
Is usually the backbone Of these books. II
is an attractive subject, but there is
sameness about many Of these writer's.
They seem to be unaware that nearly all
they write about has been observed and
described before. The reviewer who reads
about a dozen new books year in which
the song of the thrush and the robin are
described, the nest Of the sparrow and the
rock photographed. the Towering Of the
primrose and the lesser calandtne depicted
in glowing language. may be forgiven IL he
becomes critical. Yet the person who OBJ
jected to these books on the ground that
they were not worth writing would indeed
be a curmudgeon. The only question seems
to us to be whether they can find readers.
II they do, we are convinced that no literl-
ture Is more harmless, and perhaps none
gives greater pleasure to those with country
tastes who are compelled to spend their
lives In dreary towns.

thrilling pastime of beating well-dressed

had barely time to get his back into the
shallow angle between the bullying outer
bases of the two proscenium boxes. Then
the rush was upon him.
Hitting clean and straight and with the
speed and unerring deadliness Of the train

held his own. There was no question Of
guarding. He relied rather for protection
on the unusual length Of his arms.
Nor could blow be planned beforehand.
It was HIT hit. and keep on hitting Fully
twenty youths and men surged forward at
him, and at nearly every blow one went
down among the pushing throng. But for
each who fell there were always two more
to take his place. The impact and crash
of blows sounded above the yells and
shuttle of feet. This was not boxing. 1t
Only his semi-sheltered position and the
seif-confusing hurry and numbers of his az
sailants kept Give on his feet and allowed
him to hold his own.
