Though not every one realizes II. there
are fashions in lingerie. as in every other
kind OF woman's wearing apparel. The
time was when we had our underclothing

three or more pieces, each on separate
drawstrings or clumsy Wristbands, and

were gathered all around are now gored
closely, or are even entirely circular at
the top. thus bringing a bias line OF the

the most used. Women who object to

SILVER CENTER CENTS.
Another of Those Rare United States
 Coins Has Turned Up.

4 curious cent. dated 1792, which has come into the bands of q coin dealer. is said to represent the first atempt to strike q coin of this de- nomination at the United States mint at Philadelphia, says the Washington Post.
 On the obverse is a rather ugly head of Liberty to the right. with hair flowing behind. and below, in small figures, is the date. "1792." Around the border is inscribed Liberty Par cnt of Science X Indust." (ry). On the reversee is a wreath inclosing the words One Cent" with "1-100'' below and surrounding the whole central de- wise is the inscription United States of America"
 The piece is much smaller than the ordinary Colonial cent, being about the size of the half cent struck in the year following It is composed of copper. but before placing the blank in the coinage press a small plug Of silver had been inserted in the middle, and the rarity now is known to coin collectors as the silver center cent" II is said the intention in putting in this plug of silver was to bring up the intrinsic value of the coin to exactly one cent.
 It is thought that the cent was the design of q blacksmith named Peter GetZ. of Lancaster. Penn, a self taught engraver who was employed at the mint when that institution first began operations in 1792. and who cut the dies for several other varie- ties of the early coins. The same de- sign was struck in plain copper. but without the silver plug, and this va riety. too. k very rare.

ITALIANS IN PANIC.
Willing to Accept Checks While Yan.
 kees 1emsn Pay in Currencv

kees Deman Pay in Currency.
 J. H. Hale, whose peach orchars ir South Glastonbury and Seymour in 1 this state, and in Georgia, make him the most extensive grower of such fruits in the country, employs a num- Der of Italians, and he has always in- sisted that he never had more in- dustriOus or fruitful help than he gets from them. He was in Hartford, recently, and told a mosts interest ing story about these men.
 MT Hale said that the panic of '93, when currency was even more scarce than to-day, his bank asked him if he could not reduce his payroll and use some checks. He went to work to see and he found his Yankee en- ployes insisted on seeing their money, but the Italians said they would take whatever he might give them. That was not all, either. One of the Ital- ians called him aside and said that, if he was in trouble, the Italians would help him out
 He declined the help, declaring that the trouble was with the banks and not with him, and was only temporary, and said that, if they had any money to spare, they ought to let him put it in the bank, as that would help the situation out. They hustled about a bit and brought him S1,20O in currency, which he deposited.
 Tuesday it occurred to Mir Hale that perhaps his Italians had some more currency saved up that would be useful in circulation. so he got them together and explained to them that ready money was wanted and that holding it was injuring the busi- ness of the country. Whoever had any money put away should get it into the bank. if he wanted to help out. The spokesman of the men said they would like to do what they could to help the country. and without talk ing even a receipt from him gave him 5000 to carry 10 Hartford and put into circulation.
