cal year closed on June 3. total If
$626, 900, 900 of this amount had
been redeemed through the method
of accepting the certificates at par

Why Coins Arc MilIed.

Did you ever look at the edge of | dime or quarter? They are diff ferent from pennies and nickels, for all silver and gold coins have what are called "milled" edges, while the edges of pennies and nickels are smooth. The reason for this is that some dishonest persons used to clip pieces off the coins, especially the gold ones, and then sell these scraps of precious metal when they had saved great many.
 Every year the nation lost large sums of money this way, and the thieves would smooth the edges off so well that it was hard to find out who was guilty. The best way of stopping this practice was found to be to "mill" the edges of the most valuable coins, SO that no one could pare them without letting it be seen at once.-Kansas City Star.

EWED THE SAVAGES.
And In the Twinklina of an Eye the
 Treaty Was Signed.

The ambassador who would pro feet his eountry's rights must exer- else tact and call in.o use the deep est learning. And, after all, his plans may be frustrated or unex- pectedly furthcred by some happen ing entirely beyond his control. In biography of Sir Robert Hart, Juliet Bredon instances a treaty without parallel as case of good luck.
 During one of those terrible storms which periodically sweep the shores of Formosa an American ves- sel was wrecked and the crew eaten by the aborigines. The nearest American consul thereupon jour neyed inland to the savage terri tory in order to make terms with the eannibals for future emsr- gencies.
 Unfortunately the chiefs refused to listen and would have nothing to do with the agreement prepared for their signature.
 The consul was irritated by their obstinacy. He had a bad temper and a glass eye, and when he lost the first the second annoyed him. Under great stress of excitement he occasionally slipped the eye out for a moment, rubbed 1t violently on his coat sleeve, then as rapidly replaced it. This he did there in the council hut, utterly forgetful of his audience and before soul could say the Formosan equivalent of "Jack Robinson"
 The chiefs paled, stiffened, shud- dered with fright. One with more presence of mind than his fellows called for pen.
 "Yes, quick, pen." the word passed from mouth to mouth. No more obstinacy, no more hesitation; all of them clamored to sign, will ing, even eager, to yield to any de- mand that a man gifted with the supernatural power of taking out his eye and replacing it at pleasure might make.
