MOST IMPORTANT COIN.

The most important coin issued by
Uncle Sam is the nickel" according
to the masses. Certain men high in
the official world in Washington not
long ago were discussing currency, and
one of them ventured the suggestion
that Congress should pass law elimi-
mating the five-cent pieces. An inves-
tigation proved that the nickel was
the most used coin in the country to-
day.
In fact, almost any other coin could
be dispensed with more readily than
the five-cent piece. 1t is the staple
price of a variety of articles, more so
than any other piece of money. 1t is
the exact price of a loaf of bread, a
street car ride, a bag of tobacco a
shine and a dozen and one other things
that amount to a surprising total when
set down and added up.
It's most recent use is in paying adj
mission to the rapidly increasing mo-
ton picture shows. 1t is used extern
sively in telephone calls and slot ma
chimes. Without it all these would
have to be made over. The nickel
bobs up in use. There is no likelihood
that the government will soon elimi-
nate this coin of consequence, as such
an action would result in a nation

A MILLION IsIsnGRANTs.

During the fiscal year ending June
80, 1910, 1,041,570 immigrants reached
American shores, of whom 1876, O3S
were males and 3O5.532 females. The
largest number of immigrants came
from southern Italy, 1858. The
Poles came next, with 128,348! then
Jews, S4,260; Germans, 1880; En-
glish, 53,49S and Scandinavians, ST.
0S7. No other nationality exceeded
$4,000, but practically all races under
the sun were enumerated among the
arrivals. Korea sent the smallest
number, 10.
Only twice In American history han
the immigration during any year been
larger. The year 1907 holds the rec
ord with 1,2S5,349. During the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1906, the arrivals
totaled 1,100,735. Most of the south

CHINESE INNS.

The best Chinese inn is vastly in
ferior to the worst hosiery in Eu-
rope or America. The menu consists
solely of boiled millet, which the
Chinese eat by means of chop-sticks.
1t is long, however. before a foreign
er learns to manipulate thes.. little
sticks or ivory or bone in lieu of fork
or spoon.
But, surely, rice, vegetables and
eggs are obtainable even in an iso-
lated country? Not among the noun
tains of China; the mountaineers
only stare in blank surprise if a de-
mand is made for such luxurious
fare.
The sleeping accommodations in
these inns, or Khans, is as primitive
as the food is frugal. All the guests
lie down in a row, upon raised
earthen platform, in an opening of
which a fire has been built. This
couch is. therefore, in fact, kind of
stove. Each sleeper is enveloped in
a wadded coverlet or pei-wo.
Living amid such surroundings, it
is not surprising that the native is
often i'll. Leprosy fevers and con-
sumption are common in China.

SQUIRRELS IN CAPITOL
GROUNDS.

There are lots of squirrels in the
capitol grounds lin Washington, and
the pretty little things have lost their
fear of their natural enemy, man,
because, of course, they are protected
from destruction as far as mad-made
rules will do this. The children in the
parks play with them very gently and
not infrequently these small creatures
in their search for something to eat
will run up a mans trousers leg and
then there is a circus. but one of
them broke into the United States
capitol the other day. He got in on
the senate side into the marble room
and perched himself on the weather
instruments which are handled by
Mr. Jones. What that small creature
did to the set of astronomical instru-
ments was d plenty. He was finally
chased out, running down the ele-
vator shaft all by himself.

after those of Constantinople and Sc
Inns mosque in Adrianople. In its
courtyard stands an old stone, across
the top of which there is groove pre-

ance of the express commandment of

But another of Serajevos hundred
mosques has a much better legend. Be

the seven holy dervishes who were be-
headed 200 years ago for great theft.

CRITICISM.

Criticism may be the kindest thing
in the world or the cruelist. 1t may
be like the surgeons knife, which is
sharp and gives pain, it is true. but
which saves life; or it may bear more
resemblance to the poisoned dart of
savage. The difference is in the mo-
tive prompting the criticism. Bring
your motive out into the sunshine, and
see if it belongs to the region of light
and air, or if it would flourish better
in the dark and dampness that nourish
Shiny, creeping things. Let our wom-
en- readers bear in mind that ct is
much easier TO be critical than TO be
correct" 1t is much easier to point
out flaws in somebody's life than to
live falwless. The knowledge of our
own weakness should help us to be
merciful, plying, tender. And If the
time comes when our friend needs our
criticism, let US offer it So lovingly
that though it may wound her, she
must still feel that we could not have
remained loyal and kept silent.
AS well say it as think it." No. not
quite as well, If the thought is an I'M
lovely one! Do not even think it. of
you can help it, for there is never an
unworthy thought that does not hurt
in some way the mind that harbors 1t.
But when it is put into words and
passed on to someone else, its harm
fulness is at least doubled, and NAV
be many times multiplied hurting
everyone who hears, and perhaps do
ing injury to many others besides.
Sometimes, it is true, wrong thoughts
will come-unkind, unjust, suspicious
and will cling for time in spite of
honest efforts to put them out of mind.
For these we are not altogether re-
sponsible, it may be. But for the
spoken word and the evil it may do.
each one of US is entirely account
able. Many women, in an unthinking
lack Of vanity, fail to realize how much
influence their unconsidered words
carry Others mistakenly fancy thai
sincerity requires them to say all thew
think. 1t will be worth while for both
to set a little loving guard upon their
lips. And You Will be surprised, if YOU
have not tried it, to find what a helm
1t is toward thinking only such
thoughts as are worthy to be frankly
expressed, to steadfastly refuse utter
ance to all which are not.-Tablet

that anything is the matter, because

atty next in dread to the death SEN
tence This phrase natural life puz-
zles some people, who wonder If the
law recognizes any unnatural life y
1t does not, but the old common law
did recognize an unnatural death, as
well as a natural one. When man
or woman takes the monastic vow,
people still speak of it as leaving the
world" In medieval times that was
considered form of death, and the
phrase natural life" came into use
to describe an existence terminated by
the grave, not by the convent or the
