Ancient Currency

Henry Canon brings to this Office a
piece of colonial scrip. of the face
value of nine pence, issued by the
colony of Pennsylvania in 1777. 1t is
the property of his daughter, Mrs.
Lila NJ. Keinath of New York City,
having been preserved in the family
of her husband for several genera
tions. Its imprint is as follows:
(Face) ITO counterfeit is death.
Nine Pence. Philadelphia. Printed
by John Dun 777. Nine Pence.
Back Nine Pence. This bill shall
pass current for nine pence according
to act of general assembly of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the
twentieth day of March In the year of
our Lord one thousand seven hundred
and seventy seven. Dated Nthe
seventh day of April, A. D. 1877.
Nine Pence"
There is nothing about the bill to
prevent any printing shop from read
lily duplicating them and it is likely
the inability of the government to
print scrip in manner to prevent
conte rfeiting made it necessary to
print upon this issue the terrifying
warning above noted, ITO Counterfeit
is Death" This scrip doubtless con-
stitutes at the present time a legal
demand against the State of Pennsyl-
vania or against the United States
government, but its owner would not
part with it for many times its face
value.

1T SEEMED INcURABLE
Body Raw with acknowledgement
from Hospitals as HopeIess-cutl-
eura Remedies Cured Him.

From the age Of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in its
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in
durable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for a cure. Six months
ago we purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and today he is perfectly cured.

THE HORSE OR MOTOR?
What Kind of Force for Flowing Shall
Be Used2

On the ordinary farm the animal is
still of greater service than any me
chanical force. The steam pillow is
good on the large area, but the man
of small means and having under his
control a small farm will depend on
the horse or the OK, the mule or the
COW. Which kind he shall use must
be governed by the conditions under
which he works. 1t may be surpris,
ing to those living on the prairies OF
the west to learn that even oxen ase
still used for the work of blowing.
But on hilly, stony land the OK is
fact that he is slow makes him the
more valuable, for when the pillow is
moving among stones and roots it is
better that it move slowly than rap
idly. But on the lands of the west,
says the Farmers Review, a fast
moving animal Is needed, and
the OK is outclassed. The same
variations apply to the use of plows
drawn by electric motors and to
greater plows driven by steam. Some
experiments have recently been made
in Germany to determine at just what
point the steam pillow is more val
liable than the pillow drawn by horses
or oxen. The conclusion is reached
that it is impossible to make an esti.
mate. In the report the cost of
power machinery for blowing and
%cultivating small farms is said to be
prohibitive, but where farmers owning
large areas a cooperate and buy a
steam plow this is declared to be a
matter of economy.

The Pillow in Use.

serves to enter the earth or less
deeply as the pillow is drawn forward,
and carry the excavated material to
the surface. At Its forward end this
blade is braced by means of a support
D, which is tasted to the beam A. At
the forward end of the beam A Is a
clevis bar E, which is secured at its
upper end to draft bar F, extending
to the rear of the beam A. In this
clevis bar are a series of a%pertures
adapted to receive a link to which a
pulley block is connected. This block
serves to receive the cable that is
passed to the windlass or drum Of the
traction engine, for the purpose OF
drawing the car forward. Owing to
the lightness of this pillow, it may
readily be loaded upon a truck and
transported from place to place.

The Christmas Tree Scare.

The chief forester of the depart
ment Of agriculture, Clifford Pinchot,
says that as far as endangering future
forests is concerned, the effect Of cut
ting for Christmas trees is infinitesi-
NAL compared with forest fires and
wasteful numbering. He says that
trees suitable for Christmas do not
grow in old forests, where reproduc-
ton is most important, but in the
open. Even If serious denudation
were threatened the proper remedy
would be not to stop using the trees,
but to adopt wiser methods of cutting
and growing.

Too Interesting to Bury.

There is a certain little southern
girl who is very fond of her negro
nanny. The nurses name is Sally,
and she is a large woman, so she is
known as Big Sally. Ethel, however,
calls her "Biggie" for short. One day
her mother took her to a museum,
where, among other things, there were
some stuffed animals. Ethel was
greatly interested, and for many days
she did not tire of talking about them.
Perhaps a week later, at the supper
table, after a preoccupied silence, she
said:
Mamma, when Biggie dies I'm not
going to have her buried; I'm going to
have her stuffed"
