can Interfere with a Congression-

COIN SOMETHING OF A FREAK
Albanian the Possessor Of Silver DOL
lar with Two Heads-lts
History.

Hansel W. Compton has just re.
turned from New Orleans, La, where
he went upon a business trip, bring
ing with him the only genuine silver
dollar with heads stamped on both
sides ever seen in Atlanta. And there
by hangs tale. relates the Atlantic
Constitution.
Mr.. Compton got this silver dollar
in change and did not notice the un-
usual fact about it at the time. Some
time later he was matching a friend
for car fare, happening to use this
silver dollar, when he noticed that the
coin fell heads every time. He
looked closer and saw that there was
a head on each side of the dollar. I'm
der one head were the figures 1906"
the date of the initial stamping, and
under the other "19O9." the date of
the second stamping.
He showed it to several New Or
leans men, who offered him various
premiums the highest being $40. all of
which he refused.
The story in connection with this
coin is as follows: An employe in
the New Orleans mint, whose duty
it was to run the silver coin through
the dies to have the head stamped up
on it substituted current silver dol
lar for the coin Immediately after
the head had been stamped upon it,
with the other side unstamped and
perfectly slick. This was in 1906.
Three years later he ran the coin
through the stamper for the reverse
side, impressing another head and
1909 upon it. The fact that a coin
had been put in, at the first instance.
to replace the half-coined dollar, pre-
vented detection. In this manner, it
is explained, the silver dollar came to
have it's two heads.

A Taste for Good Books.

If were to pray for a taste which
should stand me in stead under every
variety of circumstances. and be a
source of happiness and cheerfulness
to me through life and shield
against its ills, however things might
go amiss and the world frown upon
me, it would be taste for reading.
speak of it, of course, only as a
worldly advantage. and not in the
slightest degree. as superseding or
derogating from the higher Office and
surer and stronger panoply of re-
ligious principles-but as taste, an
instrument, and mode of pleasurable
qualification. Give man this taste,
and the means of gratifying it, and
you can hardly fail of making happy
man, unless, indeed, you put into his
hands a most perverse selection of
books.-Sir John Herschel.

PAY HIGH PRICES FOR PIPES
Smokers Known to Expend Large
Amounts on Adornments for
Their Favorites.

Tennyson delighted in an Irish clay
and birdseye tobacco, while Bismarck,
who reduced something like 1000
cigars to ashes every year, was great
ly devoted to his old brier pipe, the
fumes of which we're, to quote one au-
thority, Comparable only to mix
ture of sewer and gasworks."
The kaiser always smokes pipe in
private, and, like the prince of Wales,
favors the small brier pipe.
On the other hand, there are many
middle-class men to-day who smoke
pipes costing many dollars. For the
most part they are presentation pipes
Of carved meerschaum, or o fthe brier
type with gold mountings and the
choicest amber mouthpieces. OF
course, you can make pipe as ex-
pensive as you please. You can
mount it with diamonds, rubies and
emeralds, and run up the value to an
enormous extent, or you could have
an oriental hookah at anything from
$500 to $1,000.
The most costly pipes of to-day are
those used by the Dutch and the Ger
mans. They are of formidable dimen-
sions, some holding as much as a
pound of tobacco These pipes are
mostly of the meerschaum variety, and
some are carved so elaborately as to
command $1,000 each.-Stray Stories.

NURSE LEFT HAIR AT HOME
Had Good Reason for So Doing, But
Landlady Received Something
OF Shock.

'In spite Of the fact that it's so COM
mon these days, it made me uneasy"
said the woman who keeps dodgers.
'"The professional nurse who rooms at
my house-the one with great pile
of light brown hair-was called out on
an emergency case night before last.
When l went up in the morning to do
her room I found she had left her
hair hanging by the mirror. thought
of course, she was coming back, or
would telephone for it, or send an A.
D. t., or something. But the fore
noon passed and no word came from
the nurse. I kept going up to the
room to look at that hair; it seemed
to fascinate me; and then it got on
my nerves. Don't know why, but
was obsessed that something had hap
pened to the nurse. You know, they
are such good lodgers-pay SO well
and out most of the time-that I take
a special interest in them.
so finally 1 thought to look in her
call book and found that she had left
her number. Then telephoned her.
I was a good deal relieved, and lit
tie amused, too. You see, she had
gone out on contagious case, and
she doesn't wear her best hair at such
times-too much trouble to keep it
disinfected, she says. But she was
grateful to me for calling up.
Wouldn't I please put it away in the
top bureau drawer. She had not in
tended to leave it out"

Russia's Free Tea Stalls.

The Russian government is COM
monty supposed to be autocratic and
even despotic, but, like other autocra-
cies, it has an odd way of being at
times quite paternaL. In ST. Peters
burg tea stalls are provided by the
authorities for the prevention of the
spread of cholera. The disease was
traced to the use of polluted drink
ing water, and accordingly the govern
ment established these stalls all over
the country for the supply of bever-
ages that should be free from all sus-
picion. The notice on top of the stall
states that the sanitary committee
provide hot water, tea and sugar free
of charge to all corners. The attend
ants are paid by the government. and
are not allowed to take any money for
their services.-Wide World Maya

Photography by Phosphorescence.

There is sometimes employed
abroad an ingenious method of making
Photographic copies of plates and en-
cravings in books which cannot be re-
moved from the Libraries, and where
the use of the camera is prohibited. A
cardboard is coated with phosphor-
escent substance, exposed to sunlight
or electric light, and then placed at
the back of the engraving, while a
dry Photographic plate is placed on
the face of the engraving. The book
Is closed, and after a period varying
from 18 to 60 minutes, depending
largely on the thickness of the paper,
a satisfactory negative Is produced.
The book is enclosed in a black cloth
during the manipulation.

Triumph for Americans.

The English hostess for various rea-
sons, the principal one being that she
cannot help herself, now accepts the
invasion of her American sister, the
magnificence of her entertainments
and the wonderful individuality of her
costumes with equanimity, says a
writer. The days are long since past
when the American woman had diff
Guilty in making a place for herself in
English society. and past also are the
days when she was treated as a Gu
riosity and expected to act and talk
after the manner of the immortal
Daisy Miller. Nowadays she reigns
supreme. In fact, 1t is fashionable to
be American.

Uses Animals Make Of Their Tails.

Horses. cows and other creatures
use their tails as fly fappers. Cats,
squirrels and many more twist them
around their necks for comforters.
The rat has raised the use of the tail
to fine art, for by it's means it guides
the blind and steals jelly. oil and
cream out of jars and bottles.
The macaco plays as merrily with its
tail as kitten does, and the marmo-
set while it sleeps uses it's tail as a
sort of blanket.
The raccoon catches crabs with its
tail. Every one knows how the mon
keys journey through painless forests
by swinging from tree to tree, while
the fishes steer their way through the
water by their tail fins.
The ant eater puts up its big bushy
tail for an umbrella. The vanity Of
the peacock is fed by the beauty Of

STRANGE FREAKS OF NATURE
WeII-Authenticated Cases OF Dumb
ness Which Scientists Are Un-
able to Explain.

The London Lancet recently dug up
from it's old files the following story:
A farmer of Somersetshire made a
vow in the presence of his wife never
to speak to her again If she bore him
another daughter. He already had
three. A son was born, but, strange
to say. when the child became old
enough to talk and did talk to his
mothers and sisters, the father could
never get word out of him." and
what was more the boy could not talk
to any man. This was assumed in the
neighborhood to be punishment OF
the man for his rash VOW. The re-
publication of this curious case led to
the appearance of another similar tale
of intermittent aphonia, vouched for
by a clergyman of Bath. In this in
stance a young man of % years had
never spoken to his father nor to any
one in the neighborhood but his moth
er and sisters. And he could not talk
with them in the presence of his IA
ther. But when he visited the clergy
man in neighboring town he talked
as well as anyone. When asked for
an explanation of his curious actions
he had none to offer. Il simply can't
talk, no matter how hard l try was
the substance of his answer. He had
heard something of rash VOW" by
his father. but could give no further
details. If these stories are to be ac-
cepted as true, they may perhaps be
explained as the result of what are
called fixed ideas," which sometimes
dominate slightly disordered or un-
steady minds
