The Exa,a Blind. spos.

The blind spot in the eye is where
the optic nerve comes through the
retina about one-tenth of an inch
nearer the nose than the center.
To test it close your fists with your
thumbs outside and held against
each other. Extend your arms.
Shut your left eye and look fixedly
with your right eye at your left
thumb. Separate your hands, and
when they are about six inches
apart the right thumb will go out of
business temporarily, for its picture
will fall upon the blind spot.

TRADE DOLLARS.
Authorised In 1879 and Demenetixsd
by the ACT Of 1887.

Auvnori1ou IN 1910 ana bomonottEoo
by the ACT Of 1887.
A trade dollar is slightly larger
than standard dollar, but it is not
current coin, and its metal value is
only about 40 cents, though coin
collectors will pay 80 cents for it.
So many of these mongrel dollars
were in circulation generation ago
that most persons we're watchful to
avoid getting one, but in recent
years they have been so rare that
many people never have seen one.
Trade dollars were authorized by
congress in 1873 for the purpose of
stimulating commerce with the ORR
ent. For many years the Mexican
silver dollar had been highly val
ued coin in nearly all far eastern
countries. Hundreds of millions of
them were shipped to China, japan,
the Philippines and other countries
in that part of the world to pay for
the products exported from them to
Europe and the United States.
American lawmakers thought
that coin of practically the same
weight and size as the Mexican dol
lar bearing the imprint of the Unit
ed States could be used advanta-
geously as a substitute for the Mexi-
can dollar.
In the five years beginning with
1878 the United States mint pro-
duced nearly 36,00o,000 of these
dollars. Most of them were export
ed, but enough of them remained
in this country to be embarrassing
because of their similarity to the
standard silver dollar, and in 1887
congress provided that for six
months thereafter all trade dollars
presented to the treasury should be
exchanged for standard silver dol
lars, and after that time the trade
dollars were left to shift for them
selves, being worth only their metal
value plus whatever premium coin
collectors might be willing to pay
for them. Nearly 100000 of
them were redeemed, and when the
period for redemption ended only
2s4,5S7 of them remained in this
country, less than per cent Of the
number that had been coined.
The trade dollars have on one
side sitting figure of the Goddess
of Liberty and on the other an
eagle Of different design from that
on the standard dollar. The inscrip-
ton is UNITED States of America,
Trade Dollar, 420 grains, 900 fine"
The standard silver dollar weighs
412.5 grains. The weight Of. the
Mexican dollar is 41779 grains, but
97.27 per cent Of it is pure silver,
80 that though it weighs less its
metal value is about Z per cent
more than that of the old trade dol
lar. Probably this is the reason
that the trade dollar never made
hit with the people of the far east.
There is ground for suspicion that
the originators of the trade dollar
thought the orientals might be
duped into taking it in preference
to the Mexican dollar because of it's
slightly greater weight, notwith-
standing the fact that its silver val
ue was about z per cent less. But
the oriental money changers quick
ly learned this difference in value,
and the deception wouldn't work.
The trade dollar was authorized
by the coinage act which became
famous under the designation of
'the crime of '73" in the free silver
agitation which began a few years
later and continued for more than
twenty years.--Kansas City Star.

Out in every tempest, out in every gale
Buffetng the weather wind and storm and hail.
In the meadow moving in the shadowy wood,
Letting in the sunlight where the tall oaks stood,
Every fitting moment each sxillful hand employs
Bless me were there idle farmers boys?
Though the palm be callous hold fast the plough,
The round cheek is ruddy and the open brow
Has no lines and burrows wrought by evil hours
For the heart keeps wholesome, trained in Natures
bowers
Heaty, hearty pastime, the spirit never clogs;
Heaven bless the manly, honest farmers boys,
AT the merry husking, at the appe-bee,
How their hearts with genial, harmless glee
How the country madens blush with conscious bliss,
At the lovewords whispered with parting kiss.
Then the winter evenings with their social joys
Bless me they pleasant, spent with farmers boys

The Battle at Sahuaripa.

Saturday of last week Mir. Ignacio Bonillas. the we'll known engineer, returned from an extended profess sional visit in the Sahuaripa dis trict of Sonora, where he was en- gagged several weeks. Mir. Bonillas was in the vicinity of Sahuaripa at the time of the battle between the in8urrecto Talamantes, from Mayo joa, and the federal force from Moctezuma under command of Chiapa, prefect of the Moctezuma district, and he gives the first clear account of the battle that has come out that is not colored. According to the account given by Mir. Bonillas there was some real fight ing there, the killed upon both sides numbering about eighty, and somf forty being wounded.
 The fight occurred upon the twenty-eighth of January. The &n8urrecto8 took refuge in the church at Sahuaripa, which was sur rounded by the federals, who Occu- pied every point of vantage housetops of surrounding buildings, etc. The in8urrectOS kept up wig orous fire, doing great damage un- til their ammunition was exhausted. |. Then Talamantes emerged from the church, and surrendered. He. said that his rebellion having failed he accepted the result and asked to be shot immediately, stipulating only that his two sons be shot first. He was accommodated. In a very few moments all three were dead.
