The pope recently entertained the
members of the Sacred college with
the recital Of how a certain gold coin
had been given to him as a jubilee gift
by the diocese Of Acqui. This coin
was discovered in 1898, while excava-
lions were being made for the founda-
ton of a new church at AcQui. Upon
examination 1t was found to be the
only coin in existence Of the period
of Innocent TX. The diocese of Acqui
was unable to pay the architect who
had drawn the plans for the new
church, SO 1t gave him the coin with
the understanding that IL he sold 1t
for more than $1,000, the amount OF
his bill, the surplus should be returned
to the diocese. Later the clergy col
lected the $1,000, bought the coin, and
presented It to the pope. This coin
was the only one lacking to complete
the Vatican collection Of coins issued
under all the popes.

Finally the bird trapper was con-

five dollars for each bird found In his
possession. The case was appealed.
and finally passed upon by the su'
preme cour. Of the state. which up
held the lower court and gave the
victory to the members OF the Audi

then current market rates were worth
so cents apiece, or $3.50 for the five

The state department OF agriculture
has taken a step which may help to
solve the problem of adjusting the
matter of labor for farms and at the
same time put dwellers in the city In
the way of acquiring knowledge and
health, says the Troy IN. ~ Times.
The department has issued bulletin
asking for volunteers from boys and
girls in high schools who wish en-
ployment during the summer vacation.
The boys are to have farm work OF a
character suited to their capacity, such
as aiding In the planting and gather
ing of crops and helping the farmers
In other ways, all Of which will tend
to tighten the labor Of the agricultur-
ist and also give the boys valuable In
sight into farm life. The girls for
the most part are expected to serve
as clerks and stenographers and to
do light duty about summer resorts, al
though probably there will be no OBJ
lection to letting those so disposed act
as helps to rural housewives. That
the idea is not wholly repellent to the
youthful element Is shown by the fact
that there are already over $500 ap-
plications from high school boys OF
New York city alone, the young fell
lows being DESTROYS Of engaging in
the occupations suggested. Who knows
but the high school boy Of the pres
ent will be the successful farmer Of
