HAS CHANGED MANY TIMES
Viciss:tudes of the Silver Dollar Dur. ing the Many Years That 1t
 Has Been Coined.

The silver dollar has undergone many changes since it was put in circulation in 1194 On the face of the first dollar there was stamped the head of young woman, turned to right and with her hair flowing az if she was in gale of wind; but. i'll 1f96, congress came to her relief and ordered her hair to he tied up with 8 bit of ribbon. The 15 stars, which appeared on the first dollar, were after this reduced to the orig inal B, in recognition of the num- Der of states. In 1886 the design was again changed and the dollar bore the figure of woman dressed in flowing garment. The design CT forgot, however, to put in the B stars, and the coin was discarded, the new design. having the woman surrounded by stars. Her hair was defiant and stiff looking, and in 1888 dollars were issued which were more artistic in treatment. The first dol lars bearing the motto "In God We Trust were coined in April, 1864, and in 1873 the era of the trade dol lar began, lasting just five years. The liberty dollar made its appearance in 1878. Miss Anne W. Williams, pub- lie school teacher of Philadelphia, sat for the portrait.

The youth hap pened to look up from his work one day, and saw the president dreaming at his desk.

ROOT COTTON FOUND IN ORIENT.

An interesting new tropical prod net Is the ''root cotton," described by $. kusano, Japanese botsnist. It is q fibrous covering of the roots of Fagara integrifoliola, an abundant plant of the Philippines, and espe- cially of Botel Tobago, an island near Formoga. The substance seems to be kind of cork tiesue, resem. bling the ordinary cork developed on the bark of trees. The fibers, of light straw color and silky luster, are very fine, soft, and weak, and srs easily pulverized to waxy powder, They are less hygroscopic than ordi- nary cotton, having remarkable re- sistanee to wetting by water. In Botel Tobagc the natives use the root cotton for calking boats, and in the Philippines it is employed for such purposes as stufing pillows. Not least of the advantages of this mate rial as possible article of commerce is the fact that it can be remete:l without injury to the roots, thus making cultivation simple.

"Tt's easy enough to show Spartan composure on other peoples behalf, ; said, in a Fourth of July address, Mayor Thomas Tiedeman of Savan- nah.
 "You're heard, perhaps, of the two Hessian soldiers under Cornwallis during the revolution. These men were acting as scouts in a swampy forest. They got separated, and, an hour later, one came upon the other up to his chin in a bog of quick sand.
 "'Ach, Hans, Hans, how am I to get out of this?' the poor fellow shrieked in fear and anguish.
 "T don't think you can get out of it, the other answered with true Spartan calm"

MEXICAN MURDERS HIS COUNTRYMAN

Thursday morning last Francis co Garcia killed his partner, an unknown Mexican who answered to the e-name of 'Whitey," in one of the alleys back of the Metho dist church, by striking him in the face with a brick.
 It appears that three Mexicans came here Wednesday night from a grading camp near Gallup, and proceeded to imbibe too freely, and having had previous difficult ties in camp, renewed their quar- rel here. Garcia it seems had no grudgeto settle and only explains his act by the statement that he was drunk.
 Garcia claims to be of Navajo blood and offers no excuse for his crime.
 The murdered man, of whom little is known, was about 30 years of age and was only known to his companions as 'fWhitey." !" He had left the company of his companions and was walking through the alley when Garcia caught up with him and after a few words slapped Whitey's face and immediately followed it up with a brick full in the face.
 The murderer after felling his man went over into Mexican town with Amelia Baca, who was an eye witness to the affair, and who tried to prevent the crime. J. J. Tatum, the dairyman, was also a witness to the murder. Officer Yount and Chief Bledsoe placed the men under arrest and lodged them in jail.
 A coroner's jury composed of J. F. Mahoney, foreman, Fred K. Ellis, c. H. Mulholland, Andy Montana and Ed Wing was sum. moned and rendered a verdict o1 murder.
 Garcia and Baca shad a hearing
  last night before Justice Hanser to late for this weeks issues but both men will undoubtedly be sent. to. Holbrook to await tht action of the Grand Jury.

As showing the wonderful prcdee- tivity of the soil in some of the le- calities of New Zealand, one grower recently took g cases of Bon Cretien pears off single tree, while several plum trees actually fell over owing to the enormous weight of fruit the trees were carrying This is not sa isolated case of heavy bearing, as numbers of other growers in the same districts have had similar ex- periences.
