BROTHERS OF rHE AUTUMN.

BROTHERS OF THE AUTUMN.
Brothers OF the autumn-here's our
Lodge of Love,
The rainbow Of the foliage and the
bright blue dome above;
The rustic of the brown leaves,
The whistle of the gale;
The sunbeam on the mountain
And the gold mist in the vale.
Brothers of the autumn-watchword
have we none,
Except the love of living where the
autumn sunbeams run;
Our secret known to all men,
Our ways TO all men free;
The crimson of the sunset,
The turquoise of the sea.
Brothers of the autumn-a glowing
cheek for sign,
The dreams our only mamma and the
fresh air for our wine;
The fairy fiddle answering
The Jingle of our feet,
And the gypsying adventure
In the clean world all so sweet.
Brothers of the autumn-our creed
the tingling mile,
The laughter of the clean heart and
the sunshine of smile:
No dues except devotion
TIC all life's lure and Zest-
To love the common Daylight
and leave TO God the rest.
The BenZtown Bard.

WEIGHT OF COINS.

The plan of treasury and federal
reserve authorities 10 propose legis.
lation for withdrawal from circula.
ton of gold coins used on the Pacific
coast and their concentration in bank
vaults, particularly those of federal
reserve banks, calls attention 10 laws
governing weight of various gold coins
put out by the three United States
minis
Weight of standard unit, the gold
dollar, is fixed by law at 25.S grains,
nine-tenths of which is fine and one
tenth copper and nickel alloy. Coin
age of the one-dollar pieces, however
has been discontinued since 1890, and
the only denominations now minted
are the double eagle, eagle, half eagle
and quarter eagle.
1T is practical impossibility to
coin pieces weighing absolutely the
amounts assigned by law. At least
it would hardly pay the government
to have the minis exercise the great
care necessary. The law allows a
certain complete leeway, known as
limit of tolerance, so that newly
coined double eagles and eagles may
be under standard or full legal
weight by as much as grain (al'
most cents), while maximum def.
cheney on new half eagles and quar-,
ter eagles is one-quarter of a grain
(almost l cent?. The table below
gives in grains the standard or full
legal weight of the four denomina
tons currently coined tolerance al
lowed when new, and minimum legal
weight of new coins:
