consequently they were never put in

The only gold half dollar ever pro-
duced at the United States mint was
struck in 1852. 1t had perforation
in the center, and the diverse showed
a wavy circle around the perforation,
with the inscription, United States of
America" around the border. The re-
verse was blank. The coin was eX-
actly half the weight of the dollar.
Regardless of the generally accepted
idea the gold fifty cent pieces with
which the public is familiar were not
an issue of the United States. but were
manufactured by California jewelers..
There has not been any attempt to In
troduce the perforated coin in the

Different Now From What II Was
When Dickens Visited Us.
When Dickens came over to America
some seventy odd years ago there was
one large table in the dining room for
the passengers. The first officer sat at
the head, carving the turkey with all
the grace he could command between
lurches of the good ship. trusting TO
Providence that the gravy would not
slop over. The passengers sent their
plates along the line and waited for
their belpings.
Today the dining room of a large
ship looks like the dining room of
fine hotel. 1t is just as exquisitely ap
pointed and has every good thing to
eat that can be found on land. In
fact. one of the new ships has a res
taurant named after a famous one in
New York, and the two keep in touch
by wireless so that the menus. day By
day, are the same. Think of having
your dinner arranged by wireless

Early Saxon Customs and the Advent
Of the Flowing Veil.
In the old days, as now. the bride
generally dressed in white. From early
Saxon times down to the eighteenth
century a bride of the poorer classes
came to the wedding arrayed in plain
white robe as n public warning that
since she brought nothing to the mar
riage her husband was not responsible
for her debts.
Brides soon began to add some little
touch OF color. Blue was for constan-
cy and green for youth, but in some
places these might not be used be-
cause of feuds between families having
| these tints in their liveries. Yellow
might not be worn. as it stood for
jealousy; golden might not. as 1t
meant avarice.
| The Anglo-Saxon bride went to the
wedding with her hair hanging loose
as a sign Of freedom, but upon reach
! ing her new house Immediately bound
| it up as a sign Of submission. In the
days of Shakespeare the veil began to

VARIcOSE VEINS.
Their Causes and Effects and En-
Treatment They Require.

Treatment They Require.
A varicose vein is an enlarged and
twisted vein, generally in the leg. 1t is
caused by stagnation of the blood.
Often the patient has hereditary pre-
disposition to varicose veins or he has
a weak heart, with consequent tend
ency to sluggish venous circulation.
Anything that interfereS with the
flow of blood through the veins may
bring on an attack. Pressure from a
tight garter and very severe muscular
exertion are often exciting causes. Per-
sons who are obliged to stand for sew
eral hours at a time, like policemen,
washerwomen and saleswomen, are Of
ten subject to this trouble. Under or
binary conditions the blood in the legs
must run up hill constantly in order to
regain the heart. In the case of those
who stand most of the day the blood
has to work hard hour after hour in
order to overcome the force of gravity,
and as a result the veins gradually en-
large and harden.
In mild cases of varicose veins, espe-
cially in young and otherwise healthy
people, the symptoms are very slight.
There is a feeling Of weight in the leg
and a dull ache toward the end of the
day. The ache is soon relieved by the
patients resting with the leg somewhat
raised so that the blood can flow back
more easily. Sometimes painful cramps
complicate the trouble, and the cramI
is likely to return again and again until
life becomes a burden.
More serious complications are throm
bosis Tor the CLOTHING of the blood il
the vein) and phlebitis Tor infamma
ton of vein. Often form Of &c
zema appears in the skin of the leg, oil
an ulcer may arise. When varicos'
veins are very troublesome surgica
treatment is advisable, but the milde
cases can be much relieved by rest ant
proper bandaging,-Youth's Companion

Perforated coins were never in ia.
vor in the United States, though yari-
GUS efforts were made to popularize
them. The first United States coin
with a perforated center was a gold
dollar issued IN 1S49. which had a
square hole in the middle of the
planehet. 1t was the forerunner of the
gold dollar issued by the United States
mint in 1s49. The coin was engraved.
not struck from dies.
The next United States coin with a
perforated center was issued from the
Philadelphia mint in 1850 and was of
the denomination of / cent. Ii was
about the size Of the bronze cent now
in use. At that time the large. old
fashioned copper cent was in general
circulation. and the perforated coin re-
ceived the name of ring cent" The
designer reasoned that by means of
the perforation the cent could be dis.
/ tinguished by touch from the dime.
Another perforated cent issued the
same year showed two rings In the
field with the words. Gent. One-tenth

wreath around the perforation and the
words. United States OF America"
