Egypt took census Of his people 500
years before Christ The Athenian so
lon established census for the pur-
pose of facilitating taxation. We learn
that about 443 B. C. Servius Julius

dropped into oblivion. but was re

PERFORATED COINS.
Uncle Sam Tried Them Several Times,
but Without Success.


Perforated coins were never in IA
vor in the United states. though vari-
Gus efforts were made to popularize
them. The first United States coin
with a perforated center was gold
dollar issued In 1849. which had a
square hole In the middle OF the
planchet. 1t was the forerunner Of the
gold dollar issued by the United. States
mint in 1S40 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. 1t was
about the size of the bronze cent now
In use At that time the large. old
fashioned copperscent 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
Silver" The reverse showed an olive
wreath around the perforation and the
words, United States Of America"
The mint authorities undertook to
design a coin that would answer all
requirements, and the pieces were
struck with both pierced and perfect
centers in silver. copper, nickel and
composition metal. six varieties In all,
without counting the various metals.
but none of the designs was favored
by the government authorities, and
consequently they were never put In
general circulation.
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
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
United States since 1884 In that year
two pieces Of the denominations OF I
and cents were issued at the Phila-
delphia mint Harper's Weekly.

STAGE HANDS.
From the Important Carpenter Down
to the Lowiy "Grip."


to the Lowiy "Grip."
To the outsider the term stage hand
is applied to every one that works be-
hind the footlights except the players,
but there is quite an aristocratic line of
demarcation.
There are the stage carpenter and the
assistant stage carpenter, who build
scenery: there are the property man and
the assistant property mana who make
and shape all kinds of things out of
papier mache for properties and look
after the furniture and decorations of
the stage; there are the fly men, who
manipulate the ropes at the top of the
theater, hosting and lowering scenery
and also raising and dropping the cur
tain. The natural habitat Of these fly
men is on platforms up in the flies.
many feet above the stage, and when
not otherwise employed they have the
disconcerting habit of audibly gossip
ing and playing cards. Then there are
the electrician and his assistants, whose
business it is to operate the lights.
The humblest of the regular staff is
the grip This man handles scenery
and does general utility work about the
stage. When exigency demands the
force is added to from the roustabouts
who usually infest the stage entrance.
