Wild sehsms. Of pin,erat.s.

Wild Schemes Of 0inocratos.
The most remarka ole proposal ever
made about Mount Athos was that Of
the architect Dinocrates. His plan
was to cut 1t into the shape Of a g.
gantic statue Of Alexander the Great.
holding In the right hand a city, In the
left q tank that was to receive all the
waters Of the region. Alexander was
much taken with the scheme. But It
was eventually rejected on the ground
that the neighboring country was not
fertile enough to feed the Inhabitants
Of the projected city. Another Of Dinoc-
rates. plans was a temple to the wife
Of King Ptolemy Of Egypt with a roof
Of loadstones that would keep an iron
statue of her floating in the air.

when they see It Nevertheless many
Of us have noticed on fine. cloudless

AusTIN's Eeo1IsM.

Il Cropped Out Strong In Comparing
Himself With Tennyson.
Austin might almost be said to rival
James Mcneil Whistler as having Civ.
en- rise to humorous anecdotes-with
this difference. that while the anec
dotes Of Whistler exploited his wit or
his superb arrogance ("Why lug in
velasquez?" ) those Of Austin were bas-
ed on little more than the fatuous self
esteem which enabled him (f ability

so called criticism. "The Poetry Of the
Period" to attack Tennyson. Brown.
ing, Matthew Arnold and Swinburne
as If the author Of the book were the
superior of the whole pack Of them.
1t was apparently not this book. but
a later criticism written in 1885. which
led Austin. to boast of his friendship
with Swinburne and to declare that.
though he had been forced to criticise
Swinburne. the latter had not permit
ted it to disturb their relations. It
proved that Austin's criticism had at
tracted so little attention that Swim
burne had not ever heard Of 1t. and
when. following Austin's boast. he
took pains to read it he became very
angry and would have nothing to do
with Austin.
It was the same faulty which led
Austin in his autobiography to adver-
tise his own ultra responsibility as
compared with the possible 'Hlow tone"
Of others. Tennyson might be acquit-
ted perhaps Of once using an improper
word in conversation. but Tennyson
certainly smoked. Austin never

Perforated coins were never In ia.
vor In the United States. though var.
Gus efforts were made to popularise
them. The 6rse United States coin
with q perforated center was a gold
dollar issued in l840. which had Q
square hole 10 the middle Of the
planchet It was the 'forerunner Of the
gold dollar issued BY the United States
mint In l840. The coin was engraved.
not struck from dies.
The next United States coin With q
perforated center was issued from tho
Philadelphia mint In 1850 and was OF
the denomination Of 1 cent. It was
about the size Of the bronze cent now
In use. At that time the large. old
fashioned copper cent was In general
circulation. aud the perforated coin re-
ceived the name Of ring cent" The
designer reasoned that by means of
the perforation the cent could be dis
dnguished 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 nom 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 1859. 1t had a p%erforadon

q 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 6fty cent pieces with
which the public Is familiar we're 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 5 cents were issued at the Phila.

CLEANING ILaees.

Cleaning in gasoline is perhaps more
satisfactory than washing in water for
most laces. A good way to clean
tabots. collars and cuffs and other arti-
cles made Of lace is to put them In a
glass jar. cover them with gasoline
and let them stand overnight. In the
morning shake out the lace and clean
any spots with fresh gasoline. Shake
it until it is dry or else pin 1t out on
an ironing board or pillow. The gaso-
line can be saved and used again.

FInANCIA AND COMMERCIAL
A REARaSH DAY.
Losses of from One to Two Points
 Sustained by Leading Issues.

New York, April Quotations of stocks were again scaled down today It was a traders market and traders were bearish. Losses of one to two points were sustained by a long list of stocks, including such market lead CTS as Reading, Union Pacific and Alnalgamated- The higher prices for Americans in London before the open ing here were ignored and initial prices were irregular. The list re sisted the effect of bear selling for a time and then broke sharply Later the market rallied but still lower prices were recorded before the close.
 The market was influenced unfavor- ably by further severe declines among the newer industrials and by heavin ess of some of the standard investment stocks and bonds. New low prices were established by Pennsylvania New I Tork Central RumeIy, Mexican Petroleum and California Petroleum New York Centrals heaViness was as- soclated with a report that the com paAF was to put out a large note issue. The opinion was expressed that the success Of the recent offerings of Se- curities will have large bearing upon the outlook for the market. The de- cline of old established bonds since the offering of new issues at higher figures has tended to restrict invest = probable that the degree of favor with Which the new issues are received will serve as an index to investment conditions Some significance was at tached to a. sale of the new St. Paul 1-2 general mortgage bonds at a fraction below the subscription price.
 Bankers said that western and southern banks were drawing down their New York reserves. The effect was not reflected in the local money market owing to the ligftness of the demand for funds.
