Each One Is Perfect to Its Parents
and Perfect Nuisance to
Other Persons.

A baby is a small person about
which there is great diversity of opin-
ion This is because every baby is
considered perfect by the parents and
a perfect nuisance by everybody else
There is really nothing new about
the baby Its institution dates back
to the beginning of the world, and at
that time it was a garden production
The garden idea, however, is now OBJ
solete, and for many years the baby
has been grown in the house. with
early transplantings to the sunlight.
Every baby has a good voice, a dis
tinct resemblance to some rich rela-
tive, and an afternoon nap. The voice
is heard by everyone. but the resem-
blance is heard chiefly by the rich
relative. The afternoon nap is heard
of everywhere as being necessary to
the baby, but sometimes the nap is
more honored in the breach than in
the observance. After the nap the
baby is unable to understand why 1t

of the engraveT of the dies.
From what can be learned there are
only two specimens of the above dol
lar known in silver-the one owned
by Mr.. Granberg and another said to
be in the collection of an eastern his
torical society. The variety is also
known in brass and white metal. The
specimens in the latter two metals
are also rare and held at a premium.
The one in brass is much rarer than
that in white metal
The next rarest variety Of the con-

design to that mentioned above, but

ing this error, and the only one known
in the metal, was formerly in the col

that time the values of colonial coins
particularly have risen enormously
and that dollar would now bring

New York-A United States silver

at $4,000, which was exhibited at Chi

can Numismatic association, brought
to the immediate attention of both
the general public and collectors a

dollar or mark of 1888, proposed by
Robert Morris, the "Financier of the
Revolution"
This coin, which is known as the
continental currency dollar, is owned
by H. o. Granberg of Oshkosh, Wis,
and represents unquestiOnably the
very first metallic issue to bear the
stamp of the United States, or United
Colonies, as the confederation was orr
ginally known The continental dol
lar preceded by nine years the issue
of the first regularly authorized cent
of 1787-the Fugio or Franklin cent
and the issue of the latter coin no
doubt was largely Influenced by this
first dollar, for it Bore its principal
features of design.
The continental currency dollar is
about the size Of an ordinary silver
dollar and contains 37S grains of sill
yer. On the diverse the principal de-
sign is a sun shining on a sun dial,
with the word "Fugio" to the left.
Below the dial is the motto Mind
Your Business" a saying attributed to
closed by two large circles, while
around the border in large letters
is the inscription Continental Cur
rency, 1776." On the reverse is a
circle Of thirteen links, each of which
bears the name of one of the thirteen
colonies. In the center is a radiation.
which incloses a double circle, in
which are words American Congress.
We are One"
No definite information as to where
the continental currency dollar was
made can now be obtained. But it is
thought to have been produced N
Birmingham, England, in which city
were made many of the coins that
were circulated in this country dur
ing colonial days and the most of
which are now highly valued by col
lectors
The design of the dollar was evil
IDENTIFY suggested by the devices of
the first continental currency paper
issues. On the diverse side of one
of these notes was representation Of
sun as a human face shining upon
a dial, with the word "Fugio." Just
above was a representation of the
moon, also a face. (The latter, how
ever, found no place in the design of
the silver dollar.) Underneath the
dial was the motto Mind Your Bust

showed almost the Identical design
borne by the continental dollar and
seems to have been embodied in tact
