COINS UNDER WEIGHT.

In England lps the Duty Of Thoss Who
Get Them to Break Them.
1t is the duty Of each loyal British
subject not merely to refuse gold coin
that is under certain weight, but to
break 1t.
EVERY person." the act reads, "shaiI,
by himself or others. cut, break or de.
face such coin rendered to him in pay
nlent and the person rendering the
same shall bear the loss"
But in spite Of this act it Is a risky
business interfering with coins which
you may suspect to be under weight
or spurious. Some months ago a Grims-
by woman offered half sovereign in
payment Of goods to local shopkeep-
er. The latter put the coin in a test
Ing machine and, as 1t broke In two,
refused to take it.
The coin, however, was pronounced
by experts to be perfectly genuine,
and when the case was taken into a
court Of law the shopkeeper was order
ed to refund 10 shillings to the Gus
toner.
Money. both gold and silver. wears
out at startling rate 1t Is reckoned
that there is usually f100O0O.OOO In
gold coin in England, very large pro-
portion of which is locked in the strong
rooms OF banks. Yet of that which Is
In active circulation the wastage is so
great that during every twelve months
10000 worth Of gold and silver Is
rubbed of into fine Pearson's
Weekly.

The case of Helen Powell turning
her poor old widowed father over to
the care Of his housekeeper, Miss Will
lard, a woman of thirty-fve, puzzled
the social world of Deerfeld. The wife
and mother died when Helen was six
teen years old. and Miss Willard nat
urally assumed. or, rather, continued to
administer, the household affairs. In
deed, she had been during Mrs. Pow
ellis illness Indispensable. A few
months after her mothers death Helen
went to boarding school and remained
there for three years except during va
cations, when she visited some one Of
her schoolmates.
Miss Wizards entrance to the Pow
ell household occurred when Mrs. Pow
ell was taken ILL., Some one was need
ed, and Miss Willard, who was social
acquaintance of the Powells, volun-
teered. Her offer was considered by
her friends 10 be one of self abnega-
ton, for she needed no compensation

Bette came singing down the garden
path. A broad brimmed hat shaded
her pretty face, and she carried a
small trowel; therefore 1t was evident
that this sunshiny morning was to be
devoted to the cause Of gardening.
She chose to begin her labor in plot
Of ground close to the hedge and, aft
er digging vigorously for few mo-
ments, paused to contemplate q pack
age Of small envelopes whereon gor-
geous roses were pictured In profu-
sion. A frown wrinkled her forehead
as she read the puzzling directions,
and she decided to seek information on
the subject by inspecting the flowers
upon the opposite side of the hedge
1t was this adjoining garden with its
riot Of bloom which had inspired Bet
tie with the desire to initiate. She
stood on tiptoe and peered over the
hedge, but instead Of the roses she ex-
pected to see Bette found herself look
ing directly into pair OF surprised
brown eyes.
I'll beg your pardon she stam-
mered in confusion. II am going to
plant some roses" she explained. ''and

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

To remove f1sh-bone from the throat. swallow a raw egg. A drop. of kerosene on the hinge of 9 door will stop it's squeaking to clean it. Use stiff nail brush. Dishes favored with lemons are among the most palatable known. A clam shell placed inside the ket- tie will prevent the formation of lime. aA
 excellent for removing ink stains
 Embroiderdes and colored garments should be ironed on the wrong side. Covering the pan in which the fish is cooking will make the fish soft Clean tins with soap and whiting. Marble should be washed with am- monia and water rather than soap and water.
 when making a steamed or boiled pudding pleat in the cloth at the top
 The soft brushes used for polish ing hardwood floors may be washed most thoroughly by the use of kero- -sene.
 When beating eggs observe Nthat there is no grease on the whisk. as 1t will prevent the eggs from frothing.
 A glaziers knife will be found an excellent thing with which to scrape and clean the bottoms of tins and kettles.
 To cool an oven while baking new CT leave the door open, but cool 1t bS the dampers or removing one of the plates over the oven.
 Garnish turkey with cubes of cranberry jelly, wreaths of celery leaves and pieces of celery split in the narrow points and curls or beet pickles cut into stars and hearts to add a touch Of color
 To insure Q properly aired house in winter, see that at least one window in each bedroom is down little from the top. Half an inch will be enough to let in fresh air without creating a drauglt.
 In scalloping oysters, do not use much of the liquor. Milk may be substituted Put on plenty of butter, twice as much on the top layer as on Che under ones, or it will not be we'll browned.
 The careful housekeeper covers her mattresses and. other ticking with un- bleached muslin to keep them clean. This should be pasted on, or, better yet should be provided with buttons and buttonhoies.
 When carpets are not taken up they can be greatly freshened by washing over with water, to which table spoonful of ammonia has been added to each pail of water This should be done after a thorough sweeping.
