STARS ON COINS AND FLAG.
Little Heraldry Lore Shown In the
Five and Six Points.

The stars on the great seal and the
seal Of the president Of the United
States are five-pointed. while on the
seal Of the house of representatives
they are six-pointed. The Is stars on
the diverse of the present half and
quarter dollar are five-pointed. The
reverse OF the present half and quar-
ter dollar is a copy of the great seal,
except that the clouds are omitted. Il
is evident that heraldry has not taken
a very strong hold in these matters
in the United States. therefore 1t is
not in the power of anyone to say
without doubt why the difference in
the stars on the flag and the coins.
So far as is known, with the exception
of the reverse of the present half and
quarter dollar. the stars on American
coins are copied from the colonial
coins, which were, no dodbt. made
after the manner OF English heraldry.
while the flag was made up after the
design OF Washington's coat-of-arms,
containing three five-pointed stars.

How many of the Wide-Awakers

called whippoorwill? That's a queer
name for bird, isn't it? 1t is called
that because it's note sounds like the
word. One is rarely seen in the day
time, for it seldom appears until after
the swallows have gone to their
roosts, when it skins along the sur
face of the ground, seeking moths
and other soft-bodied insects, of which
1t is very fond. Sometimes it appears
also between daybreak and sunrise.
and its low notes are heard then as
in the evening. Strange to say. it
does not bull nest, but lays its
eggs, generally two, of a greenish
white spotted with blue and light
Drown, in a sort of hap-hazard fash
ION, on fallen leaves. One popularity
Of the bird is the formation of its
mouth, which shows how nature
adapts living things to their necessj-
ties and surroundings. The mouth is
wide and gaping, and has stiff bristles
at the base Of the bill to keen insects
IRON escaping after they are caught.

pictures, no diagrams. but facts,
There are some papers which put a
thing in one day and contradict it in

thing that happens, such as two or
