OLD FRENCH BOTTLE BOOKS
Pronounced Favorites With the Bibu-
Ious-volumes That Were Bound
in Human Skin.

An article in the Bookman by Wal
ter Hart Bldmenthal tells of the most
curious books in the world, and among
them he Classics the French bottle
books, which were used century ago
to carry more fortifying liquors than
the literary, Bottle books are as rare
as fish that climb trees" says Mr.. Blu
menthal. ''These curiosities were made
in southern France about a century
ago, and were held in high esteem by
judges, advocates and the learned gen.
try generally. The legal profession was
given to carrying its authorities back
and forth under its austere arm. Hence
these bottle books, which were made of
lustrous decorated dark blue faience,
In appearance not unlike fooled levant.
The contents were wholly liquid, or
partly literary with a terrifying COM

But she didn't need to, for Murray
asked Bob himself, and he asked him
a lot of other things, asked him to
look up the McIlvains and one Muir
ray especially and find out If he was
fit to be his brother-in-law, and
wouldn't he use his influence with his
pretty sister?
Bob was delighted, declaring that
the only thing against Murray was
that he was waffle fiend, but If Ruth
wanted to take the contract of baking
the wafiies and they would agree to
set up housekeeping in the Gentry
mansion, he'd have no objection to
him as brother-in-law.
OF course Ruth agreed after rea-
sonable amount of persuasion to take
the waffle contract and the Gentry
house by Murray's agreement was
saved from becoming rooming house.

HIGH HONOR FOR SMALL GIRL
Face of Ten-Year-OId Has Appeared on Millions of Coins of the
 United States.

The government of the United States in 1885 made an offer of S1,OOO for the most acceptable design to be placed upon the new cent coin soon to be issued. Some Indian chiefs travelled from the northwest to Washington to visit the Great Father and then jOurneyed to Philadelphia to see the mint. whose chief engraver was James Barton Longacre, who invited them to his home.
 The engraver's daughter, Sarah, aged TO- greatly enjoyed the visit of her fathers guests and during the eve ming, to please her, one of the chiefs took off his feathered helmet and war bonnet and placed it on her head. In the company was an artist, who i'm mediately sketched her and handed the picture to her father. MT. Longacre, knowing of the competition for like ness to go upon the cent projected, under the inspiration of the hour. re- solved to contend for the prize offered by the government To his delight the officials accepted it, and the face of his daughter appeared upon the coin, which was circulated about the nation for nearly a century. There were more than a hundred competitions. The cent bearing the face of Sarah Longacre has gone into more hands than any other American coin.

How EnqIand Grows.

great deal of interest is taken in England in the question of coast protection. The ocean. assailing the cliffs, gradually tears them away. but this very process furnishes a defense for the land by building up long beaches of sand and shingle which ar rest the waves before they can attack the cliffs. An effort is making to pre- vent, or better regulate, the removal of this material for construction and road building. because in many places it's removal has permitted the sea free ly to exert its power of erosion.
 The ordnance survey has ascertained that in the last half century England has lost 6.64O acres by sea erosion and gained 4S,OOO acres through re claiming land the existence of which is mainly due to material brought down by the rivers.
