YOUR GOLD COINS
sss " Any Of Them 10 Stamped With
the Letter L.

the Letter L.
II got hold OF a gold coin q short
time ago. and ii was marked with a
letter l., which supposed had been
stamped upon II by some one who
wished to keep watch as to whether he
ever had II in possession again. I
pasesd 1t along, to my landlord. I think,
and thought nothing more about 1t for
several months. Then found out that
had been passing light coin"
"How is that?' was the question Of
listener.
"All coins, whether gold or silver,
upon which large l. is stamped are
light weight. When you get one Of
these stamped coins, the only thing to
do Is to take II to some assayer, who
will weigh II and pay you about 10 per
cent less than the face value Of the
coin for II, He will then place It In
crucible to be melted into gold bullion.
"The government itself mutilates
these coins and In so doing turns the
ruined currency right back into circu-
lation. where some innocent party win
become victlmized by them.
when the light coins are rendered
for duties on imports they are weighed
at the custom house, quickly stamped
L for light and returned to the I'M.
porter. II the latter cannot pass the
coin off. he must take 1t to the retort
to be melted
"The light coins may be rendered
light In the ordinary course Of abrasion
In circulation or they may have been
sweated by parties who sell the gold
dust thus bruised Off the coin. The
common mode of sweating is to place
a number of gold coins In sack and
shake them up for long time, when
the gold dust will gather at the bottom
Of the sack. Utica Observer.

Mules and Gray Horses.

II wonder II that truck driver knows
Of any good reason for hitching that
mule with the gray horse?" remarked
a Georgian as he saw such a team
halted at Chambers street and Broad
way. Lets ask him."
The driver only knew that the team
was always driven together by order
Of the stable boss.
"Well," went on the soptherner, "since
l was a child I've always seemed to
know that mules will follow q gray
horse or hitch with him where they
won't have any truck with a horse of
any other color. I've seen the most
unruly mules behave properly when

er heard good reason given for the
fact"-New York Sun.

THE STORY.

THE clank Of the heavy chains
i sounded with each step of the fet-
tered captives as they plodded slowly
over the dusty highway. Jerusalem
had fallen before the mighty prowess
of the army of the king of Babylon,
and now the captives and the treasure
which had been gathered in the city
were being carried back to Babylon.
Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard,
had taken good pains to see that the
choicest Of the people and the best
Of the treasure of the citylwer Sc
cured to take back as trophies of war
for his king. First came a detach-
ment Of the Chaldean army, then fol.
lowed the long line of camels and
horses bearing their burden of the
spoil OF the city. Behind these slow.
ly and painfully plodded the men in
chains, and with them the women and
children.
Among the number was the prophet
jeremiah. Fettered like the rest, he
plodded on over the road, grooming
within himself, and saying:
"Oh, II the men Of the city had only

TO CLEAN SATIN SLIPPERS.
Rubbing with Stale Bread Is Perhaps
the Best Method.

II you wore satin slippers last win
ter and find upon taking them out this
season that they are soiled it is well
to clean them at once.
Never leave off the work Of freshen
ing and renovating party things until
the day you are invited to go out. One
always has an unexpected invitation
and finds to her misery that all her
party finery needs two or three days
work on 1t.
So get out your evening slippers
now and see that they are thoroughly
cleaned and ready for wear.
If the satin is but slightly soiled, get
some pieces of stale bread and rub
the surface gently with 1t. This takes
off all small discolorations.
Kneaded rubber will do the same
work, although some women do not
like it because it crumbles on on the
satin.
II the slipper is still soiled looking
after this treatment, rub the entire
surface with the thread. Remember
not to go against or cross it.
White flannel should be used-a
clean piece-dipped in spirits of wine.
II this rubbing is done gently and
evenly over the surface the effect is
excellent.

BULGARIAN SITUATION.

most serious issues being settled by

LYDIA e. PINKHHM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gem
uine testimonials as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkhams Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, anywOmananyd aymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
+. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to a healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

of Benjamin. not far from Jerusalem. He
began to prophesy in the thirteenth year
of Josiah's reign, about 70 years after the
death OF Isaiah the prophet, and con-
tinued to do so all through the troubled
times of the Babylonian invasion. His
utterances were regarded as OF evil omen
by the rulers of Jerusalem. because he
counseed submission to their Chaldean
foes Other prophets, such as for in
stance, Samuel. Elisha, Isaiah, had been
sent to arouse the people to resistance
and preservation of the national auton-
omy. but he, under Divine revelation. was
brought to see that the only safety lay
In submission to the Babylonian king,
and the advocacy of sach a policy
brought upon him the charge of treach-
cry and desertion of his nations cause.
AS a result of all this there fell to the
lot Of jeremiah sharper suffering than
any previous prophet had experienced.
The ultimate fate of jeremiah is uncer-
tain. but according to Jerome he met
death in Egypt at the hands Of the Jews
who had fled thither. and who had COM
PEELED him to go with them.

Making Butter Balls.

The reason so many women find 1t
trouble to make butter balls is that
the butter is not of the right consis-
.ency and the paddles are not cold
enough.
Butter should be soft enough to
mold easily, but far removed from the
Melting stage. The paddles should be
tipped into ice water, so they do not
stick.
Serving butter in this form, besides
being. daintier, lisa decided economy.
In helping oneself from slice men
and children are apt to do 1t too lib
orally, and large part of 1t is wasted.
Keep the butter balls on the ice I'M
til just before serving.

sERMONETTE.

"Nebuzar-adan the captain OF
the guard (of the Chaldean army
let him (Jeremiah) go from
Ramah, when he had taken him
being bound In chains among all
that were carried away captive"
There is no more comforting
} thought nor one which is
greater source of strength to
} the child of God than to know
that "the Lord knoweth them
that are his,' and that he twill
guard and keep"
The one who walks with God
never has to worry about what
} man may do to him, knowing
that God will not suffer any
thing to happen to the one who
is doing his will but such as
shall be to the ultimate bless
ing Of the Individual and the
advancement Of his kingdom
among men.
II was this which made Jesus
SO calm and peaceful in the
face Of his enemies and led
him to say in the face of Pilates
threat: "Thou couldest have no
power at all against me, except
Il were given thee from above"
II is this point which we wish
to make concerning the
prophet jeremiah at this crucial
period in his life.
He had been seized with
other Jews, put in chains and
J dragged part way on the long
journey from Jerusalem to Baby
, lon. Might he not have we'll
felt that God had forgotten him
. and that he was being unjust-
ly dealt with by the ChaIdean
. army, for had he not for years
been counseling submission to
. the yoke of Babylon's king?
Here he was being dragged off
In chains just as though he
were of the number of the re-
; bellious and ungodIy Jews. And
! no doubt such treatment was a
, source of grim satisfaction to
the Jewish enemies of Jere-
mlah, who perhaps even chided
. him with the fact that his
friendliness to the Chaldeans
) had not seemed to help his
: cause any.
) But see how Jeremiah proved
: double source of blessing and
; service. II afforded Nebuzar-
: adam the chance to give before all
; the other Jews that splendid
: testimony that jeremiah had
; spoken the very words of God
2 and It again offered jeremiah
. the opportunity of proving his
love for Jerusalem and devotion
. to the spiritual interests Of
those who remained behind. II
. would have been more comfort
= able and safe to have gone on
. to Babylon under the personal
: patronage and protection Of
. Nebuzar-adan than to 90 back
8 to ruined and poverty-stricken
9 jerusalem, but jeremiah chose
8 the latter course of self-abnega-
. tIon. And God knew and un-
. derstood and cared for him, az
. he ever will him who serveth
him faithfully.
