TWO RARE COINS.
Both These Pieces Belong to tho Time
of Louis Napoleon.

Aumismatists have interesting
objects of search in two coins thai
belong to the transition period be,
tween the French republic and the
second empire.
one Of these is an extremely rare
coin that was struck off just at the
moment of the assumption of the
reins of empire by Napoleon Ill,
Only the die for the diverse or
head of a new imperial coin had
been completed, and by some ac-
cident, or possibly by mischievous
design, coin was struck off that
bore the head of Napoleon ILL.,,
Emperor, on one side and
'French Republic" on the other.
This contradictory coin is of inter-
est to. others than numsmatiSts,
for it symbolizes in striking way
the sudden changes in French poll
ties.
With the other coin IA singular
story is connected. While Louis
Napoleon was prince. president,
just before he made himself emper-
or, decree was issued ordering a
five frame piece to be coined bear
ing his image.
The dies were made, and one coin
was struck off as sample and sent
to the prince president for APP
proval. But some time passed be-
fore he examined it. When at last
he gave it his attention he was an
noyed to find that lie had been rep
resented on the coin with ii love
lock, or hooked lock of hair on the
temple, which he actually did wear
at that period, but which he
thought unsuitable to so dignifed
and permanent a representation of
himself as an eiligy on a coin.
The prince president sent for the
director of the mint and ordered
him to remove the love lock. Then
he found that his silence with re-
gard to the, piece had been taken
for approval and that the stamping
of the coins had begun.
The work was stopped and the
image deprived of its undignifed
lock. But the twenty-three coins
that had already been struck off
were not destroyed and are now re-
garded as of great value.-Chicago

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall Top

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that in

on meadows from fertilizers which are
applied in the summer or early fall. This

especially adapted to top-dressing and

las have not only been approved by the
Vermont Experiment Station, but have
been used with excellent results by a
great many farmers in Vermont and
have proved thoroughly reliable We
can also furnish the materials for mix
ing fertilizers in accordance with these
formulas We should be pleased to send

THE CARDIFF GIANT.
A Famous Fake That Even Deceived
Many Scientists.


In the autumn of 1869 it was ru-
mored through the Onondaga val
ley, in New York state, that CO.
iossal petriiied man had been UNI
tarthed by a farmer of Cardiff, a
village not far from Syracuse.
Abandoning their crops, the coun-
try folks for miles around hurried
to see the marvel and were closely
followed by the jewellers in SYRIA
cuse and other nearby cities. Soon
the lucky farmer, who had set up a
tent over the hole where the alleg-
ed petrifed corpse lay, was doing a
profitable business in admission
fees. Those who paid to enter be-
held at the bottom of a six foot pit
the figure of an enormous man,
with the limbs contracted, as
though he he'd died in agony, and
the body discolored, apparently
from long contact with the earth.
Nobody was allowed to touch the
petritied man, fact which doubt
less accounted for the delay in ex-
posing the fraud. And so lifelike
was the appearance that even sci
entists pronounced it genuine,
story being finally circulated that
the remains had been positively
identified by an Onondaga squaw
as those of a gigantic Indian
prophet who had died many centu-
ries before and had predicted that
his people would see him again.
The Snowman, Barnum, vainly tried
to buy the giant, and a syndicate
was actually formed to exploit it
from town to town.
But day came when the famous
paleontologist, Professor Marsh of
Yale, managed to make a close OK
animation and at once pronounced
it a humbug, carved out of soft
stone, and that very recently. In
vestigation then showed that the
farmer had been sending large
sums of money to a man in the
west named Hull. At that juno
ture, unluckilv for the conspirators,
Hull himself appeared at Cardiff
and was Immediately recognized by
several farmers as a man they had
met one night at a roadside tavern
when he was carting a large box,
which he explained to them con-
tanned some tobacco cutting ma
chinery consigned to parties in
Syracuse. Following up this clew,
it was found that no such box had
passed through the tollgate be-
tween Cardiff and Syracuse, and
ultimately full confession was OBJ
tanned.
1t then appeared that the giant
had been cut out of a block of
stone, the work being begun at Fort
Dodge, la, and completed at Chi
cago, whence the grotesque but real
istic statue was shipped to place
near Binghamton. Here Hull load
ed it on a wagon and carried it to
The Cardiff farmer, who was his
orother-in-law, and between them
hey managed to bury it secretly. 1t
S worth adding that some twenty |
years later a similar hoax was per-
in Australia, the swindlers |
a vast amount of money |
