QUAINT OLD
INDIAN COINS
So Adulterated That They Were Not
Even Accepted In England as
Value In Metal.
. JnJfJ08 the Independent state of Hy
derabad, India, obtained a modern mint
and called In the coins that had been
current up till that time. The old mint
off Hyderabad was little more than a
coppersmith's shop In which scrap cop
per of all sorts was melted up, ham
mered Into plates, cut up into very
rough approximations of. one tola In
weight, and stamped between dies, one
(if which was In the nnvll and the oth
er In a toll held in tongs. A blow from
a sledge, hammer made the Impression.
There was no regularity . In shape,
weight or stamping, nor was the metul
uniform in quality. ' ,;.
TJie mint could not furnish supplies
fast enough, and licenses were Issued
to coppersmiths to assist In production.
JS'aturully, the Scientific American
States, nonllcensed persons began to
manufacture, and adulteration with
lead was so .flagrant that when several
tons of these coins were sent to Eng
land as old metal they were returned
on account of their Impurity and were
finally worked up into brass for local
consumption. A "dub," If held in the
flame of a spirit lamp, would before It
reached red heat begin to discharge
very fine jets resembling mercury ; the
lead, having reached its fusing point,
burst from the copper with a force in
dicating a very high internal pressure.
, ' Guard Your Breath. '
"A man's breath," says Popular Sci
ence Monthly, "Is often a betrayer of
Becrets. He may have been out lntv,

When ho reaches hoi.ie his loving wife

not In the manner jou were thinking
of. It Is Intended to protect dentists,
barbers and physlc;tns from inhal

so as to cover the nostrils and held in

partition wall of th nose on the in

The English govetnment, after long

Lord Wllllon Bentlnek formally abol

SPUD-FED HOGS
Nne Valley Man Uses Surplus Po
tatoes For Feeding Swine.
W. W. Lloyd is in Portland looking
after a shipment of a car load of
hogs, the last of this year's crop. ir.
Lloyd has shipped several cars of
hogs this season, all of which were
partly potato fed. The exact weights
of the the "potatoes given to the hogj
are not at hand, but they will run into
tons and tons. The most of thum were
bought from producers at DO cents
per 100 pounds. Tho price made it
possible to feed the potatoes to hogs,
and while' it was small, it was that
much for the potato raisers, for with
the surplus on hand last spring they
would have rotted unless used for hog
feed. Some of tho potatoes were fed
raw and some were-cocked in large
kettles.
Judging from appearances now the
potato crop growing will be lightor
than last year, and the price will bo
too high to permit ol spud hog feed.
Mr. Lloyd is raising a patch of currol3
to feed the porkers this coming winter
and spring. With grain at three to
four cents a pound, some cheaper feed
is necessary if there is to be a profit
in hog raising. Pine Valley Herald.
