Documents in the Congressional li

the establishment of the mint was
under discusslou In Washington's time
there were some amusing debates in
congress concerning the devices the
coins should bear. There Is one ac
count of a squabble over the design
for the Bilver dollar.
It appears that a member of the
house from a southern state bitterly
opposed the choice of the eagle on ac
count of Its being the “king of birds,
and hence neither suitable nor proper
to represent a nation whose institu

Judge Tlinclu-r in reply bad playfully
suggested that perhaps a goose might
suit the gentleman, as it was rather a

HOW TO REPEL A DOG,
Letter
Carrier Had ■ Remedy
Vicious Curs.
“No one comes in contact with all
sorts of dogs more than the letter car
rier." said the man in gray as the In
terviewer trudged along beside him.
“Take It outside the business districts
and every other family has a dog.
Many of them I pay no attention to,
but about one out of five aches to get
bls teeth Into my legs at first sight.
It Is a part of my duty to teach such
curs a lifelong lesson.”
"Do you kick them?” was asked.
“That would be foolish. I carry here
In my side pocket about a quarter of a
pouud of dry fine cut tobacco. You see
It Is almost as fine aa snuff The dog
that means to bite you won't come
charging down with a roar. He sneaks
up behind and gives a Jump in. I am
ready for It. Without seeming to be
watching. I know where he Is. and at
the right moment he gets the tobacco
dust In his eyes. Then there is a cir
cus. That dog goes through such a
performance as you never witnessed,
and his owner, man or woman, In-
dulges In all sorts of threats. I deliver
the mall and say nothing and go on.
The dog's eyes are sore for a fortnight,
and If he nfterwnrd meets me on the
street he will drop his tail and make
a bolt for home. It's a lesson he never
forgets, nnd I believe It also Increases
his owner's respect for Uncle Sam's
uniform.”—Chicago News.
The difficulty most people experience
in getting up In the morning can lie
easily overcome by a simple operation,
according to a medical authority. Aft
er the night's long rest the brain Is
1X<>n with somewhat Impure blood, and
toe lymph vessels which remove waste
matter are overfull and sluggish. This
Is why wo all crave another ten mln
utes In bed and why most people are
so morose at breakfast. Very slowly
the brain gets rid of the matters which
Interfere with its vigorous action, but
the process can be expedited.
If the Anger tips are placed against
the neck Just under the ear and moved
swiftly down to the front of the shoul
der along the course of the jugular
vein, the used up blood is drawn away
and room left for a fresh supply. This
should be done twice at each aide of
the neck, Then the hands should bo
placed on the back of the neck Just
under the skull and moved downward
as far as possible, This clears out
the lymph vessels and effectually pre
vents swollen glands, from which so
many people suffer.
After two brisk rubs of the lymph
vessels return to the Jugular veins and
then back to the glands, hnlf a dozen

OLD TIME THEATERS.
For
Way House and Stage Were
Lighted In Garrick’« Time.
It must have often struck people
when reading of the performances In
the eighteenth century how It was that
the lightning was contrived. The pow
er of oil lamps wits limited enough.
Theaters like Drury Lane and Covent
Garden were of enormous size. There
were no footlights, at least until about
the middle of the eighteenth century,
and they were the humble “floats.” dim
enough. Yet there was ample light to
observe expression and play of fea
tures. so necessary in Interpreting the
fine old comedies of character. Now
adays the stage Is one blaze. It Is lit
erally bathed and suffused In light.
There are no shadows, and yet it might
be said the amount of necessary light
is no more Chan there used to be and
Is not nearly as satisfactory. How was
It then?
In the theaters of Garrick and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the bends of the actors from the
arch of the proscenium and just out
side the curtain. When the play was
over, these were lowered slowly, a sig
nal for the audience to depart. These
chnndellers furnished a goodly amount
of light on n circular zone Immediately
below them. The actors' faces and fig
ures were lit in the natural way. as the
sun would light them, but the rest of
the stage was comparatively dark or
gloomy.—Blackwood's.
"E Pluribus Unum."
Roasting Coffee.
In Norway, where superb coffee Is
made, a bit of butter Is added to the
beans while they are roasting In the
covered shovel used there for that
purpose. In France as well a piece of
butter the size of a walnut Is put with
three pounds of the coffee beans, and
also n dessertspoonful of powdered
sugar. This brings out both flavor
and scent and. moreover, gives the
slight caramel taste which will be re
membered as a pleasing part of French
toffee.

Tewkesbury, where a famous battle
was fought during the war of the
roses. Is In Gloucestershire at the con-
fiuence of the Avon and the Severn
and 180 miles from London. The bat
tle was fought on the bloody meadow
Just outside the modern town, and. ac

A First Class Table. Comfortable Beds and Accommodate
A distinguished author once describ
ed an unripe persimmon as a fine In
centive to generosity, since we would
rather give it to another than eat it
ourselves. And perhaps the English
breakfast may be likened to the early
persimmon.
Monotony Is the keynote of the early
meal In a British household—not but
that the food la good and substantial,
but there is a sameness year In and
year out about the dishes that Is trying
Indeed to an American. Here is a list
of eatables and drinkables made up
from the breakfast menu of ten middle
class English households and ten pure
ly English hotels:
Porridge, served with sugar and
milk; ham and eggs, eggs and bacon,
grilled ham, boiled and poached eggs,
fried sausages, dried fish (herrings or
haddocks», dry toast, white or brown
bread and butter, marmalade or jam,
tea or coffee.
The man or woman who has been ac
customed to break the fnst with wheat
cakes and maple sirup, followed by
grilled bluefish and a Juicy porter
house or pork tenderloin, helped out by
freshly ground coffee, cranberry Jelly,
Virginian honey and a choice of a hun

bread and freshly baked cakes, sits

sigh.—From Derrick's British Report.
We are Indebted to John Adams for
our national motto, “E I’lurlbus
Unum.” While he wns minister to
England Sir John Prestwick suggested
It to Mr. Adams as a good motto to in
dicate the union of the colonies. It I
was submitted to congress and adopted
by act of congress June, 1782. The
eagle In its beak bears a ribbon on
which is the motto. In the early days
of Its use the eagle bore also in its I
talons a bundle of thirteen nrrows, but |
when, In 1841. a new seal was made to
take the place of the old one, which I
had become worn, only six arrows
were placed In the talons. Whether
this change wns ordered by law or not
Is not known. The old Latin motto
was In use In Englaud ns far back as
1730 on the Gentleman's Magazine.

A Curiosity About Eclipses.
The average number of total and
partial eclipses in any one year is four,
the maximum seven and the minimum
two. There Is nothing really peculiar
In tills except the fact that where only
two occur they are always both of the
sun There are more solar than lunar
eclipses, but the sun lieing so much
larger than the earth or moon the
shadow terminates In a point and Is
visible only along a narrow track,
while the lunar obscuration is fre
quently visible over half a continent.
