"A cOAT-OF-ARMs.
How One May Be Acquired for a
Consideration in England.


The practice OF granting arms Is still
in vogue In England, Ireland. Scotland,
Austria, Spain. Portugal, italy, Germany,
ETC., and at times the Pope, as sovereign
pontiff, exercises the power.
Indeed, 1t is by patent or grant alone
that n new family can lcgtimately ac-
quirc a coat-of- farms.
The modus opernndi in England, for
example, is rs follows: The applicant
for patent Of arms Qrom the CROWN
may employ any member he pleascs Of
the Heralds' College. and through him
present Il memorial to the Earl Marshal
of England, who acts for the crown in
these matters, setting forth that he (the
mcnorialisD Is not entitled to arms or
cannot prove his right to such, and
praying that his grace the Earl Marshal
will issue his warrant to the kings-o
arms, as arms can only be brought II
confirm to him due and proper armorinl
ensigns, to be borne according to the
laws Of heraldry by him and his de-
scendants This memorial Is presented
and a warrant is issued by the Earl Mar
shall under which a patent of arms is
made out, exhibiting painting of the
arnorial ensisns granted the royal arms
Of England, the arms OF the Earl-Marshal
and those OF the college, and describing
In official terms the proceedings that have
taken place and a correct blazon OF the
arms. This patent is registered in the
books Of the Heralds' College and re-
ceives the signatures Of the garter and
one or both OF the provincial kings-of-
arms.

a man and his male descendants This

for a great art that shall manifest itself
in the dress the home, the civic and
personal life of the Individual not less
than the product of his hand"
Accomplishment in Art
Miss Myrtle E. Tesley OF the Poly
technic gave an address on art Work in
the Public Schools" saying in part:
"The idea of handicraft In art educa-
ton or of applied work, or by whatever
name it may be called, is, from my point
of view, to train the hand by using and
manipulation of different kinds of mate
rails in order that 1t may minister to
the Individual and make him more per-
feet and more complete intellectually,
physically morally and spiritually.
IF person is able orly to draw 1t is
of very little use, as it is of very little
use to carve only. But If the individual
can both design and weave, If he can
make things both useful and beautiful
that ministers to his wants.
THE manner of the doing of thing,
the expression of ones happiness in his
work, that is the true art, and there Is
an element of it In everything that we
do. But there is not an element of 1t
in the mere result of technical skin and
cleverness which often passes for art,
but which lacks sincerity These state
HleHlS may seem INCONSISTENT, Dul 1eSl
that they will justify themselves. Art is
not so much the product of ones work
as it is the ready expression of ones at
titude toward that work. In earlier,
simpler times than these, when 1t was
the joy of the worker to put his utmost
powers into the work which was part
of his life, the real relationship between
labor and art was shown, but later when
machinery came to be used more COM
monty, art and labor become separated
and all personal interest and sympathy
between the maker and user was lost.
"Art, above all things, should express
an idea. The value Of the material found
In the art treasures of the past is in Its
adaptation not in its reproduction.
when Napoleon created his artistic
environment. when the empire furniture

for some time, was planned and built,

NEW DOUBLE EAGLE
WE'LL MADE COIN
HIGH RELIEF MISSING ON LATEST
ISSUE
Money Can Be Stacked Quite as Easily
as Cal Pieces of Other Denom-
natlons-Bankers Are
Pleased
By Associated Press.

BY Associated freSS
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE new
$50 gold piece designed to better con-
form with the tastes of the bankers is
now in circulation. The new design SUBJ
stantially conveys St. Gauden's ideas, but
has been altered in detail to such an ex-
tent that praise and admiration has sup
planteu the criticism which broke out
several weeks ago when the original coin
left the Philadelphia mint,
The new double eagle can be stacked
quite as easily as any other coin. The
high relief to which bankers found OBJ
lection has been reduced, though both
sides are concaved, the eagle and the god
dess standing out boldly. The new de-
sign virtually a compromise with re-
gard to the ''pantalooned" eagle 1t can
not be said that the designer dispensed
with leg adornment of the eagle, yet
those who have objected to this feature
have no grievance, as the legs are OBJ
scured.
The, figures 1907 have displaced the
Roman numerals. The sharp edge of the
coin has been eliminated. Around 1t are
stars and the phrase .E pluribus unum-"
There was a great demand for the new
issue yesterday when the first consign-
ment of the 100000 was delivered to the
cashier of the mint for circulation. About
half of this sum was divided among local
banks and trust companies. The coiners
are striking off coins at rapid clip ard
today second consignment will be de-
livered.
The error of the designer of the old
double eagle, If such 1t may be called.
had singular result. There were 5000
of the original design issued and while
this meant $160.O0O in circulation the high
premium of $40 on each coin brought
$240,O0O. 1t is sid that all of them have
been bought up by collectors.
