DIXON, CAL. March 16.-Giving 3
kick at what was taken at first to be
a metal washer, $50 gold slug, one
of the few in California, was picked
up by Mrs. Charles Buecke, In a field
near her home, where 1t probably had
been covered by dirt for two score
years or more.
In the days Of the gold excitement
In California. many OF these slugs
were coined by private interests under
the quasi-supervision of the govern
ment, and were generally In circula-
ton along the coast, but their pro-
duction was discontinued in the early
eos.
About so years ago stage line ran
through the field In which the coin
was found, and II Is thought that
some passenger In those early days
dropped 1t. The rarity of the coin
makes its present collectors value
about $500.

History of the
Common Pin

The common, ordinary garden variety
Of pin has been quantity and pointedly
termed the emblem Of attachment
and IL is a wonder TO think that women
ever lived without these attachments,
for there Is hardly an hour Of the day
when we do not have the need OF pins
They hold many Of our hats together,
and a woman-has even been known TO
keep an obstreperous shoe button in
place with their aid. The ordinary pin
was first invented and brought into use
about the beginning OF the sixteenth
century. though there we're pins made
Of metal in their present form as early
as 1913, and in that year an English
statute was passed called IAN act for
the true making Of pynnes," which lin
tied their cost not to exceed s shillings
and pence a thousand.
Previous to this pins were made OF
lockwood, bone and silver. but only the
rich. of course. could afford TO buy
these. The poorer classes having TO
use pins made them of common wood,
like our skewers.
When pins first came into use they
we're a favorite New Years gift. Men
presented them to the girls of their ac-
quaintance much as they do flowers in
these days. or husbands gave their
wives an equivalent in money, which
was called pin money" an expression
which later on grew to be known as the
amount Of money which a husband laid
aside for his wife for her private ex'

A DELICIOUS CAKE.

A DELICIOUS cake Is made by us
ing English walnuts and raisins

sifted several times with half level
teaspoonful OF soda and a rounded tea
spoonful OF cream OF tartar. Beat the

uaily and continue beating until light
creamy mass is formed. Add the yolks
OF the eggs, beat again and stir IN the
milk. Sift the -four several times with

OUR FRIEND THE MIRROR.

A girls mirror Is a wise and candid
friend IL she studies Il with an honest
desire to remedy what she finds amiss.
Dull eyes and a rough ssllow skin are
natures plea for more fresh air and ex-
ercise, and no cosmetics can take the
place Of these, but a careful survey Of
herself will show her many small ways
in which the general effect OF her
appearance may be improved. 1t would
be well n women talked occasionally
before a looking glass. for this would
cure them Of many mannerisms which
annoy their friends. Vlvacious girls
often make quite unnecessary display
Of teeth and gums when speaking.
Some twist their lips into all kinds Of
fantastic shapes or frown ferociously.

glasses they would soon mend their

GROWING OLD

why do some women grow old and
others keep the secret Of perpetual
youth? Here Is the answer.
one reason why the average woman
wears out, grows plain before her hus-
band. is that. through a mistaken idea
OF duty. she lays out for herself at the
beginning OF her married life scheme
or plan Of duty and employment for
her time every hour filled with work.
with rare and short periods Of relaSa-
zion.
This she follows religiously for years,
feeling that she has done her duty. be-
cause every household event occurs
regularly and on time. while she soon
becomes a mere machine, a thing with
out life OF itself or volition. She set
ties into a rut and goes round and
round and round on the same track

BUREAU
COVERS

WITH the. old mahogany furniture
w which every woman aspires 70 In
these DAYS the fluffy little bureau scarf
OF lace and sheer linen is decidedly out
OF the picture, and from a hygienic
standpoint the fewer nuffs In the sleep
ing room the better.
Bureau covers that are meeting with
favor this season are OF pique In shades
70 match the coloring OF the apartment
or they are OF pure white. and each
cover for bureau. chest or table Is OF
the same material This gives an indi-
vidual touch to tho room not afforded
by the covers Of lace and linen.
A pique Is chosen OF a fine but firm
weave, and the covers are cut to NJ the
tops Of the pieces they are designed 70
adorn. The ends do not hang over as
they did IN other years. The cushion
top may be cut from the corners.
One design Is used on all the covers,
that OF a buttonholed scallop for the
edges done in mercerized cotton after
the scallop has been heavily padded
with darning cotton. White Is, OF
course, the most serviceable color, but
the shade harmonizing with the room
is much liked. The newest idea Is to
work the scallops in white and use the
room tint as an outline. old blues,
chinese red, duh rose or warm browns
give pleasing results.
Most women take their sets to the
shops 10 be stamped. And 1t is wen TO
remember that about a half inch OF
material should be allowed for shrink
Ing above the regular dimensions Of the
covers and enough Of the edge to work
the scallop nicely. And, by the way. do
not cut the scallop until the work is
completed, and to insure the life Of the
scallop the edge should be first run on
the sewing machine before buttonhol-
ing.
The monogram or initials Of the own
er appear on these covers. For a dress
ing table or bureau the marking OF the
monogram should go across the front
so II comes in the middle Of the length
or IL can go Immediately in the middle
OF the cover
For a table the marking goes across
the front edge in the middle or diago-
nally across the front right hand cor
ner. Pincushions this year are small
or than they have been. Those four or
FIVE inches square or three and half
bv six are in good proportions. The
edges are scalloped like the covers and
the monogram placed directly on top in
the center Of the cover. The pinoush-
ion is usually Of satin. and the pique
ton buttons over it so that laundering
OF the piece is easy work.
