THE SILVER DOLLOR.
"Did you ever study a silver dollar?
Tom Purccll of the Hampton, Iowa,
Chronie, has and he declares that
every mark on it is made for a pur
pose., and It Is interesting to know
ailiuut nome of them. You will no
Clce that around the edge of the dol
lar Is a raised ring. This is to keep
the face of the coin from wearing
away when two coins ae rubbed to
setlier. The little scallops on the in--siilt
of the raised ring are called
"breeding" and are made to keep dis
honest people from attempting to
counterfeit the coin. The dollars
now being minted bear the head of
EfbPTiy on one side. This head is not
designed from the imagination of
an engraver. A young Philadelphia
"lady named Anna Williamson pos
sessed such perfect features that the
.SOTtTJiment engraver secured her
permission to copy her head. She
died recently in poverty, which seems
hardly right when we consider what
wealth her classic profile is repre
senting thruoghout these United
States and our possessions. On the
xevorse side of the dollar our nation
al T)lrd, the eagle, is shown, In one
, talon Is a bunch of ariows, and In
.he other an olive branch. That sig--aiifles
that our country is great either
an war or peace. Partly surrounding
the eagle is a laurel wreath. The
ITaurel wreath has been the symbol
of victory and possession since the
days of ancient Greece. Tt adorned
alike, tho brows of poet1", sculptors,
stfliletes and warriors. Just below
the wreath you will sometimes find
si-very small letter. If this is an "O"
the dollar was minted in New Or
Seans. The letter "S" indicates that
2t raine from San Francisco. If
thore is no small letter shown, you
Binow that the dollar was made at the
snint In Philadelphia. If a silrer dol
lar was melted it would not be worth
a dollar becauuse it doe not contain
enough silver. It Is the stamp of
tho government which causes it to
pass at its present value. Take all
the silver dollars you have and ex
amine them to seo where they were
made. Then think how easy it is to
lose them, and deposit them in some
good bank for safe keeping.
KISSING IN PHILADELPHIA.
In Philadelphia they have organ
ized a sort of movement against kiss
ing, the naughty habit that spreads
diseases. It is especially directed
against kissing babies by which, they
ay, "moro diseases are communi
cated than In any other way." It
was generally supposed people hnd
qult the pestiferous habit of gissiug
wo believe, everywhere oxcept in
Philadelphia. It Is no longer con
sidered tho proper thing even for
candidates for olllce to go about
nmong tholr constituents kissing tho
Siables, in exchange for votes. All
such barbaric customs have been
rologated to tho past and to Phila
delphia. No woman of refinement
permits Tom, Dick and Harry to kiss
tier baby, any more than she would
permit thom to kiss her. In Japan
tuother8;do not kiss even their own
Ymbles, and tho babies aro probably
lietter off on account of the omission.
The Philadelphia movement may go
so ffir ns all that, before a stop Is
jint to It. Another thing thoy havo
lone in Phllndolphla Is to declare
that In a little while longer all kiss
ing will bo rologated to tho Ignorant,
to the holpollol, as tho Greeks used
to put It. In tho futuro, at least In
Chat city, any ono who lclsses any
body at all, ovon tho houso dog, will
Sjq dologatod to tho outor darkness
of vory pollto society. Thoy will bo
tho vulgarians, tho porsons without
Jbreodlng, tho lmposslblo ones.

Presence of Mind.
They were sitting In the alcove,
She'd a niece upon her knee:
Chaperons, although unconscious,
Children very well can be.
Pauses In the general chatter,
Sometimes come a thing to rue.
Suddenly a voice, beseeching,
Cried, "Oh, aunty, kiss me, too!"
Every one at that reception
Crowded 'twas a sunny day
Heard that artless little maiden
Give her pretty aunt away.
Here one smllad and there one titter
ed, Spinsters murmured, "Not quite
nice!"
From the alcove came distinctly:
"Grammar, pet! Say, 'Kiss me
twice.' "
