ANOTHER DOUBLE EAGLE.
Little Known Pattern Piece Made in
1905 by the Chief Mint Enuraver.

In the interest excited by the Saint
Ga.de2s aS:sSas fer coins the existence
of an entirely different double eagle
made by the chief engraver of the Unit
ed States mint in 1906 seems to have en-
tirely escaped the notice not only of the
general public but even of coin collect
ors. who usually keep In close touch
with everything pertaining to the coin
age of this country.
Charles f. Barber, chief engraver of
the mint, who executed the designs for
the present nickel five cent piece, the
dime, the quarter and the half dollar,
engraved the dies for q new $50 gold
piece when q change In certain United
States coin designs was proposed a few
years ago. From these dies two speci-
mems were struck, one in gold and the
other in base metal, gilded, to show
the diverse design. The two pieces
were placed in the coin cabinet at the
Philadelphia mint, but even the coin
experts have overlooked them.
The diverse shows a large head of
Liberty Of original design. Around the
borders are i3 stars and below is the
date, $780, The reverse Is distinctly
different fro many other United States
coin design.
A standing female figure fills the CEN
ter of the field. She holds aloft In her
left hand q pole, s~aTTHouhted by a tiny
Liberty cap, while the right hand is
placed IN the nilt Of a hword, the point
of which rests upon the ground.
Directly behind the figure is an ag-
gressive Locking eagle, with partly
opened wings. in an attitude Of protec-
ton. Behind the head of the figure Is
q series of ~radiations, between them be-
ing the motto "In God We Trust" Be-
low the figure OF Liberty is a fasces
placed In q horizontal position.

Fish Hooks Of Oceanic.

, T1AlpSf y Wcchiys
Modern fishing tackle. as displayed
In h window OF the sporting goods
shop. consists Of an immense variety
OF patent appliances, each warranted
to be infallibie for attracting and en-
snartng some particular member of the
fish tribe: but the hook. that simple,
though important feature, Is absolute
ly essential and has remained prac-
tically unchanged in form during many
centuries. Probably the earliest exams
pie Of a metal hook Is one that was
found In Switzerland. and dates back
to the bronze age. There is no es-
sential difference between this ancfent
hook and the finest ones Of steel that
are produced today.
To go back as far as the stone age.
we hay only to turn to the inhabitants
of Oceania, because these natives have
never progressed any further In the
art of capturing fish than did their
ancestors centuries ago Their hooks
are of two main classes, those to be
baited and those to be used without a
bait. The former are Of Woo or turtle
shell, fashioned either from a single
piece or having the point fastened to
the shank. Most of these are intended
to penetrate the mouth Of the fish al
though there are others that act as
gorges and catch athwart the mouth
or gullet. and thus enable the fish TO
be drawn up. The largest types are
used in New Guinea and Micronesia
for the capture of sharks, while the
Solomon Islanders have tiny shell
hooks for taking mullet.
The Polynesian hooks are generally
barbed n some curious specimens
nave been collected in New Zealand.
One of these is made from a section
of a dogs j~aw-bone, a single tooth,
which has been filed to a sharp point,
being left for the barb. In this same
country a hook that has been pointed
with human bon is regarded as pos
sessing exceptionally fine qualities for
attracting the fish.
The best workmanship Is exhibited
In the hooks which are used without
bait and which correspond to our
spoons. Pearl or other iridescent shell
furnishes the part which attracts the
fish, and frequently the shank consists
of the ribbed part OF q shell, near the
hinge of the valve, thereby giving the
hook a spinning motion Is 1t Is
drawn through the water. More eiab-
crate designs have a wooden shank,
neatly curved and inlaid with a silver
Of haliotis shell, while the barb is of
sharpened bone. The extreme delicacy
required In accurately piecing togeth-
er one of these composite hooks may
be imagined, and a great expenditure
or time n abor Is necessary. Hence
fully and only used on lines of heavy
vegetable fibre which seldom break
except under extraordinary strain.

Cured by C%uticura for $50.
when my little boy was two and a

cheeks with eczema. 1t was the Itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and If he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth

but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed doc
tors and medicines until we had spent
fifty dollars or more and baby was get
ting worse. / was so worn out watch

good results of the Cuticura Remedies,

for I bought only a dollar and a half's
worth of the Cuticura Remedies (Cuti-

they did more good than all my doc
