"Very well you may," said wise mam

into training. The whole matter was first
explained to him; then Miss Flora took
card at haphazard frora the hall table,
went outside and rang the bell. . Wing

performance was gone through several

stealing carefully through the hall to

"What you want?" he said to the party
outside. "Yon got no ticket? You no

firmly.
There was a little smothered sound of
something outside the door.
Wing, waiting, held it just two inches
open. In a couple of seconds, which
seemed an hour to the little listening
party crouching at the head of the stairs,
two bits of white pasteboard were hand

Wing held them up a moment, then
said:
"Yon wait 1 see nm," and shut the
door in their faces. He rushed hastily

compared the two new ones carefully

Where Tobacco Is Raised.
Lancaster county, it appears, still
stands at the head of all the tobacco
growing counties in the United States,
with her 10,217.800 pounds grown in the
season of 188U. Fonr other counties
Christian and Henderson, in Kentucky:
Dane, in Wisconsin, and Pittsylvania
county, in Virginia, grow over 10,000.000
each. There are seventeen other coun
ties that grow from 5.000,000 to 10,000,
000 pounds each. Lancaster county's
product in 1889, as all know, was sold at
exceedingly low prices about the low
est in our hintory and even then pro
duced the growers $ 1,349.090. The
nearest approach to this by any other in
dividual county was iJSBO.840 by Hartford-county,
Conn. - . The product of
Lancaster county, in fact, fetched more
money than that of the entire state of
Connecticut or of Wisconsin or of New
York and Massachusetts combined.;

"I God We Trust"
The motto. "In God We Trust" which
ia now stamped upon all gold and silver
coins of the United States, was suggest
ed by an old farmer living in Maryland.
This conscientious Christian gentleman
thought that onr currency should indi
cate in some way the Christian charac
ter of onr nation,, which, he argued,
coma oe Dest aone by putting a motto
upon our coins expressing a national re
liance on .divine support in govern
mental affairs. It was in 1861, when S.
f. cnase was secretary of the treasury
that this man wrote to Washington re
specting his pet idea. . His letter was re
ferred to Mint Director - Pollock, who
disenssed thequestion in his report of
Pollock .and .Chase . were in favor of
introducing the motto at once, but con
gress gave the suggestion no attention
whatever. In his next annual report
Director Pollock again referred to the
matter, this time in firm theological ar
gument, saying, "The motto suggested,
'God Our Trust,' is taken from our na
tional hymn, 'The Star . Spangled Ban
ner;' the sentiment '.is familiar to every
citizen of our country; the time is pro
pitious; 'tis an hour of national peril.
Let us reverently acknowledge his sov
ereignty, and let onr coinage declare our
trust in God."
A two cent bronze piece was author
ized by congress to be coined the follow
ing year, and on April 22, 1864, the first
United States coin was stamped with
the legend, "In God, We Trust "St
Louis Republic.
'Ancleut Greek Corns.
To the Lythans . the innovation of
coining gold and silver is attributed, and
the year 863 B. C. is fixed as the era of
the invention. Some 800 years after
this, it may be noted. Croesus was king
of Lydia. The coins of that period were
not very elegant. Among the Greeks
banking was carried on to a considerable
extent.. - Homer speaks of brass money
among them in 1184 B. C, but it was
weights, not coins. But the art of coin
ing was soon acquired by the Greeks.
The earliest coins they made were some
what crude.
The original method of making a coin
was by placing a given weight of metal,
after it had been softened, over a die
upon which a national symbol or emblem
was engraved, and then pounding it
with a hammer on the die until a good
impression was obtained.' They were
rude and battered and showed a die im
pression on one side only, the other bear
ing the rough marks of the hammer
The earliest Greek coins were of Bilver,
whereas those of Lydia were of gold or
electron gold and silver. They were
of a sacred character, and the old in
scriptions were succeeded by representa
tions of the deities Brooklyn Eagle. .
