Diana of PhiladeIphia.

At the mint In Philadelphia are q
number of coins far more precious
than any which find their way into
circulation. They are collection OF
curios. and many of them date from
times of great antiquity. Perhaps the
most interesting among them Is
handsome coin bearing on its face the
profile of a woman which has a strik-
ing resemblance to the goddess Of
Liberty of our own currency. Under
meath is the single word Demos"
which is the Greek for people. On
the reverse of the coin is beautiful
figure of the goddess Diana arching
her bow, and the inscription trans
lated into English reads, "DiaDa,
Friend of the Philadelphians."
The coin was minted more than
1000 years ago at the city of Philadel-
phia, in Asia Minor. where there grew
up in later years one of the seven
churches of which st. John writes.
The prize was discovered some years
ago In Europe by citizen of our own

coins. BY him 1t was appropriately
presented to the mint in Philadelphia.

Graveyard MARRIAGES.

A strange custom prevails among a
certain tribe in the Caucasus. When a
single young man dies some one calls
upon a bereaved parent who has car
ried to the grave a marriageable
daughter in the course of a year and
says: Your son is sure TO want a
wife. I'll give you my daughter, and
you shall deliver to me the marriage
portion in return" A friendly offer of
this description is never rejected, and
the two parties soon come to terms as
to the amount of the dowEy. which
varies according to the advantages
possessed by the girl in her lifetime

Farewell, Mother, thou hast left us,
But the time will not be long,
Ere again we hope to meet thee,
In the summer land of song.
Thy loving hands now folded
Across thy peaceful breast,
Never more with work will weary,
They forever are at rest.
In the grave thou hast no knowledge
What may be thy loved ones lot,
Though thy sons may come to honor
In the grave thou'll know it not.
Soon the threefold message will be
given,
In every land and cline,
And God himself in Heaven,
VIII declare the end of time.
Then, Dear Mother, we will meet
thee
On that bright celestial shore,
And with songs of triumph greet
thee
Where parting is no more.

An effective cleaning and polishing
device for sadirons has been designed
by New Jersey man. 1t consists of
triangular box in two parts and
large enough to permit of the free
movement of the iron within its bound
aries. In the bottom of one side of
the box is a felt pad. which is saturat-
ed with oil. On top of this is laid a
piece of fabric sufficiently porous to
allow of moistening from the lower
pad In the other side of the box is a
piece of corrugated metal. To clean an
iron the implement is rubbed over the
oil soaked cloth till the rust on it is
softened. 1t is then rubbed over the
corrugated metal and the surface
cleared of grit as far as the corruga-
tions can do this. The final polishing
is done with a dry flannel cloth. The
box is made with the two parts hinged
so that they can be folded up when it
is not in use and will not take up SO
much room.
