iheseare requests which come to the
director of the mint in almost every
mail. Some of them are from young
people whose fathers probably would
know that the director of the mint is
not a dealer in old coins. But many of
them are from men. and women in fact
most of them are from adults who have
read paragraphs in the daily papers tell
ing; of the enormous prices paid for rare
coins afr ajHeioa" faleit A paragraph
goaig the round of the newspapers tell
ing of the remarkable price paid for
some coin which the lucky seller picked
up in the ordinary course of trade will
start the cranks and youthful enthusiasts
writing to the director -of the mint until
he gets sick and tired of letters which
say, "I saw in the paper the other day
how a man sold a dollar for $200."
Almost all of the people who write are
people with battered coins to sell Any
coin which, is well worn and whose date
is obscure is picked out as a possible
prize winner. Possibly Director Preston
covrld make a good speculation in rare
coins occasionally if he would answer
these letters. But he never answers
any of them. In the drawer of his desk
are some little pink slips printed in the
department printing office. These little
slips start off like this :
Not In the Old Coin Business.
"The director of the mint does not
undertake to pass upon the character,
value or identity of uncurrent United
States or other coins or to decide ques
tions in numismatics, whether referring
to obsolete United States coins or oth
ers. Application should be made to
curators of uumismatical societies or to
coin dealers. Nor does the director un
dertake to explain the minute differ
euces which from time to time have
taken place in dies of United States cur
rent coin. No premium is paid by the
treasury department or by any of its
branches on United States coins, how
ever rare. No 'premium list' of coins is
published by the government."
And from this the little pink slip goes
on to explain that the mint will not un
dertake to do private assayinc. When
ever one of the coin cranks sends a let
ter of inquiry to Mr. Preston, he in
closes one of these slips in a govern
ment envelope and mails it
How Early Coins Were Made.
"We don't name any particular coin
collector," said Mr. Preston in a con
versation with me a short time ago.
"If we did, the men who made inquiry
might not be treated fairly by that col
lector and we would be held responsi
ble. We could ndt send any one a list of
the variations in the designs of coins bo
cause we have no such list. In the early
days of the coinage of the United States
the design of a . coin was leit pretty
much to the engraver. That is why
there are so many slight variations in
the coins of the same issue in the early
history of our coinage. We do not allow
the engraver to depart from the design
adopted now."
Some Valuable Coins.
The only perfect collection of United
States coins in the world is in the mint
at Philadelphia. There is one piece
there which is absolutely unique. It is
the $20 goldpiece of 1849. The $20
piece was authorized in that year, but
delays in the mint made it impossible
to coin it. The die was made, however,
and a pattern piece was struck. There
is no other $20 goldpiece of 1849 in the
world. One could easily understand a
collector of coins who was an enthusiast
oiVincr some enormous price for this
onin if it conld be had, and one could
believe that it might be worth the price
paid. But it is pretty hard to under
stand bv what combination oi con
ditions the silver dollar of 1804 got its
value. The United . States
mint coined just 19, 570 of these dollars;
yet coin dealers will tell" you that there
are not more wiau cig-uu o .
outside of the mint, and their value is
reckoned at $1,000 each. There were
only 321 dollars coined in 1805, yet for
collectors' purposes these coins are plen
tiful enough. The half dollar of 1804
is reckoned a rare coin; yet nearly 160,-
000 of them were coined.
When a wornout coin comes to the
treasury it is supposed, to be turned in
to the mint without examination fur
ther than to ascertain whether it is gen
uine or not. But I suspect the clerks of
the treasury department of keeping a
pretty clear eye open, for rare specimens.
I am afraid that if a dollar of 1804 came
to the treasury in .the course of business
some other dollar would get into the
melting pot. j

r.;fr Preston does not turn a
wholly deaf ear to the numismatists.
In certain parts of the Alpine i"
there are portions' delivered over to the
chamois as their own, in which no gun
may be tired, where the beautiful crea
tures may be sure of rest and security,'
in which they may nurture their young
and to which, when hard pressed, they
may flee, as to cities of refuge. In Tyrol
such an asylum is called, gamaenfrei
heit Of late years it has become necessary
for law in Switzerland to extend its
protection to the edelweiss. This pecul
iar and beautiful flower is much in re
quest, both by lovers, who present it to
their sweethearts, and also for the for
mation of little -mementos for travelers.
The edelweiss does not require an al
titude so great that it is near the snow
nor a precipitous Tock to crown. - The
poor plant has been driven higher and
ever higher and to inaccessible points as
the only places where it can live unmo
lested. At Rosenheim, on the Bavarian
plateau, at the roots of the mountains,
are fields of edelweiss, where the plant
is cultivated to satisfy the insatiable
visitor who insists on going home from
his holiday with a tuft in his hat and
on sending dried specimens to all his
friends. Chambers' Journal.

Justice BradwelL fat and comicaL
presided over one court at ,' the armory
the other morning and mowed down the
evildoers right and left. '
Justice Bradwell is quick and snappy.
He gets through with-a case much oouer
than the average police justice, and his
decisions have a flavor of deep original
ity. Among the first prisoners brought
before him was a batch of mixed colors,
captured in an opium den. There were
nine in the bunch, and bight of them
solemnly swore that they were not
smoking opium and never rolled a pill
in all their lives. The court rolled his
eyes in. utter amazement' and urgent in
credulity. "Tell me." he said, "wasn't there
anybody smoking in that place?"
And the ninth prisoner, a little, black
negress, piped up: "I was, yo' honah!
1 went down dar to smoke, an I smoked,
Bah."
' The court looked at her solemnly.
"Misguided wretch 1" Iks exclaimed.
"So you confess your crime? Well,
well! It would be a shame and a con
tamination to put you with these inno
cent people who never use the drug.
Therefore I will discharge you and send
the others to the Bridewell. " Chicago

sentiments, it is announced that since
the war terminated all restrictions upon
the propagation of the Christian reli
gion have been expunged from the Chi
nese code. On the other hand, the war
seems to have had the contrary effect on
the Japanese, as we find the imperial

To be 104 years old and still earn a
living as a laborer is a feat of which
few persons can boast. That, however.
is just what Barney Morris can claim.
Barney is a collector of the stray
pieces of paper that And their way to
the grass plats and drives of Prospect
park in Brooklyn, and he is faithful at
his task as the youngest of all his fellow
workers.
This queer old man was born in Ire
land in 1792 and came to the Uuitod
States in a little sailing vessel 73 years
ago. He was a cab driver in, Brooklyn
as long ago as 1846 and continued his
vocation until advancing age forced him
to abandon it,
A look at him, however, as he travels
about tho park gives the impression that
he is a mau of about 60. Short, wiry,
moving about at a fairly rapid pace,
small evidence of his great age is appar
ent, and his bright blue eyes have a
keenness that is lacking in the orbs of
many men half a century younger.
Barney lives with his wife she is
the third helpmeet he has had in a
modest frame house at 366 Warren
street. So far as appearances fro his hold
upon life is not slight. He has no idea
of closing his career and is sure he will

Soft shelled crabs are a great luxury,

that a majority of those used in the

He is the possessor of perhaps the
purest and most perfect English prose
stvle. of a kind at once simple and
scholarly, to be found in the language.
He has written in the "Life of Nel
son" perhaps the best short biography
in that language and other things nos
far behind this. No Englishman has
ever excelled him in range of reading
or in intelligent comprehension and
memory of what he read. Unlike many
bookworms, he had an exceedingly live
ly and active humor. He has scarcely an
equal and certainly no superior in the
rare and dltncult art of discerning and
ranging the material parts of a histor
ical account The pedant may glean
but the true: historian will rarely reap
after him. And in poetry his gifts, if
they are never in the very highest, are
60 numerous and often so high that it is
absolutely absurd to poohpooh him as a
poet Saintsbury.
Bujmiruc a Heretic
A quotation from "The Case of
Heresy," 7 Coke, 66, says: "The arch
bishop and other bishops, and other the
clergy, at a general synod or convoca
tion, might convict an heretic by the
common law. But for this, that it was
troublesome to call a convocation of the
whole province, it was oidained by the
statute of 2 Henry IV, chapter 15, that
every bishop in his diocese might con
vict heretics. And if the sheriff was
present, he might deliver the party con
vict to be burnt, without any writ de
haaretico comburendo, but if the sheriff
be absent or if he be to be burnt in an
other county, then there ought to be a
wrifeide haeretico comburendo. " This
revered common law authority should
What She Was Iff oat Proud Of.
A pretty little story is told about Mrs.
A. A. Johnston, the dean of Oberlin
college. It is said that she never leaves
American soil without carrying with
her a silken American flag. On one of
her early trips abroad she went to a
pension in a German city to perfect her
self in the use of the German language.
It happened that representatives from
several other countries were there.
On the evening of her second day in
the establishment the herr doctor, who
sat at tho head of the dinner table, be
gan to question each young woman in
turn of what she was most proud in
her own country. One mentioned great
victories, another illustrious men and
women. Each one had an appropriate
answer. Mrs. Johnston was in despair,
for while she understood German ahe
could not speak it
She must represent the United States
properly, but how? When the herr doc
tor bowed politely in her direction and
waited for her reply, ahe bowed sweetly
in return, left the table at tho same
time, returned in a moment and, with
a smile of great pride, unfurled her flag
before him. "Bravo!" cried he, and all
the young women joined with him.
