If it ia true that the man who la hitown lawyer haa n fool for a lawyer, it isquite as true of oue who act* a* his owndoctor; but there are pains or perhapsdangerous diseases like croup or ronvul-"iniiH that (dine too suddenly to send fora physician in season to cure, and it iswell to kuow what to do at once, and tohave the remedies at hand, says I>r. \V.M. Morrell in July Table Talk.

In every family there should l» a med-icine closet too high for childish hands toreach. All things which are poisonousshould be kept in three cornered bottlesthat there need never be any mistakeabout what one is handling, although noone should ever take anything to swallowwithout having looked at it.

lii tlii*closet should be rtripa of clothsewed toKetlier and rolled. These may-be three yards long and when the boycomes home with a broken arm or otherwounds requiring bandagiog the housemother will see the use of it. It takesbut little time when one has cloth to layaside to tear it into these strips two orthree inches in width. Old handkerchiefs,old liueo should also be laid into the cloa-et. A few sheets of mustard plasterswhich are ready for instant use, flaxceedmeisl, glycerine, witch-imzel, camphor,alum and sugar mixed, will be necessities.A bowl and spoon rightly belong here,too.

Anyone who once hears croup willknow it. A half teaspoonfulof alum andsugar will loosen the phlegm. 80 will aa teaspoonful of melted lard, or hot oil.The first named remedy ia the best.Then eoak the feet in water as hot as canbe borne, and rub the chest with turpen-tino or put on it a poultice of onions ashot as the flesh can bear.

An alcohol or gas stove la an invalua-ble addition to the home medicine closet'sstore*. There are few pains which arenot eased by the application of heat, andwater may be boiled more quickly overalcohol than in any other way. It in bel-ter to apply it in a hot water hag than bynet clothe unless one wants to get thesteam. In that case a wet flannel clothplaced around the water bottle will-givea steady water steam.

A liniment made of ammonia, sweetoil and laudanum, equal parts, is goodfor bruised surfaces, or for tightness ofthe chest. Another for lameness and forrheumatism is made of the whites of twoeggs, two tablespoonfula of spirits of tur-pentine, two tableepooopfula of vinegar.Before using either of these it shonld bewell shaken.

Turpentine is an excellent family rem-edy. As an inhalation, it is soothing inbronchitis, pneumoniu, coughs and an;luug trouble. Rubbed on the chest itwill eaee the pain of aching lungs.

For burns the application of pure lardmixed to a paste with flour will be foundhealing, and will prevent any scar fromthe itiured part. The same is true ofraw potato grated and applied on a cloth,the cloth being next the garment, theraw potato, with its juicebeing on the in-jured flesh. It must be removed as soonas dried, but its fiction ia marvelous insevere burns.

Children suffer from earache whichmay be cured by the fumes of chloroform.To apply it make a funnel of paper, dropinto it a bit of cotton saturated with thechloroform. Press the cotton in by blow-ing inco the large end of the funnel. Theapplication of a hop bag heated willoften ease the pain.

The simpler the home remedies theI letter. They are quite as efficacious andare safer. Salt, lemons and hot waterform a pharmacopeia complete enouKhfor use wishout the doctor's directions ex-cept in accidents and croup. The cura-tive effects of salt have never beeu knownas they should be.

Sore and it,fiamed eyes arc relieved bybathing with salt water. Sore throatyields to a gargle of the same. The mostobstinate cases of constipation can be ab-solutely cured by the persistent use ofhalf a teaspoonful of salt in a glass ofwater taken just before goiug to bed, orthe first thing in the morning. Consti-pation is one of the commonest evils.

Baths of salt and cold water will rousea sluggish skin to action, and will curecold feet. Salt used occasionally is agood dentriflce acd keeps the teeth freefrom tartar. Salt and water naed on thehair now and then stops its coming out.

lemons are a* near beinj; a panaceafor all ills as anything can be. Chronicsick heartaches and biliousness will dis-appear if their victim willdriDk as soonas riling, before dressing even, a g\»»s ofwarm water with Hie juice of half a lem-on and no sugar.

Lemon juice and tufiar will cure acough and hoarseness. It will relievefeverUbneet and thirst, lemonade as adrink in sprint; a?d summer will preventor cote "that tired feeling." Hot lemon-ade taken soon enough will break up acold. Chilblains rubbed with a piece of

lemon sprinkle) with salt willdisappear.CornH will do tbe same if Union juice isadministered by dropping it on atalebread and bindiiiiion them.

Lemons lined as soap remove staina androughnesa from the hands. A lotion ofhalf glycerine and half lemon juice is aperfect cosmetic for taking utf tan andkeeping the tkia white and smooth. Ithas bwn'said iliat lemon* rubbed on tbethe mot* of the hair will prevent it*turn-ini: gray and falling out, but for that thewriter will not vouch.

Hot water is called for in all cases ofviolent pain, colic,convulsions, headachetired feet and body. Used any way it iagood. Indirection will be overcome byit ifone haa "itrit" enough to have thestomach washed out by means of a stom-ach pump, or by drinking water as hotas it can be borne until the stomach willno longer retain it. The remedy it notpleasant but it cures.

Every family should have a list ofpoisons and their antidotes in sight in themedicine closet, and have the antidote*within reach if there are small childrenin a family. Whatever the poison if onedoes not know tbe antidote, induce vom-iting a* quickly an possible. Strong saltwater lukewarm is an emetic always athand. Alknlis nre rendered harmless byacids, and vice versa. Ifby mistake oneswallows ammonia drink vinegar immed-iately.

The greatest need of the home doctorix a cool head, which should be alwayswith her. Allmedicine* are useless with-out it.

Mn it'Utilising i.i'.iii-t.

Skeleton leaves were one ot the favoritedecorations for parlors in the days ol ourgrandmothers, and can be arranged intoa dainty and pleasing souvenir of thesummer. Make a solution of concentrat-ed lye in hot water in the proportion oftwo ounces of lye to a quart of water. Ifthis is not convenient, dissolve fourounces of common washing soda into aquart ot water, adding about two ouncesof fresh quicklime, boiling for about aquarter of an hour, and when cooldecanting the liquid from the sedi-ment. Place the leaves in this solution,and allow them to boil about an hour,when the pnlpy part allows itself to beremoved. The leaves are carefully re-moved by floating on a piece of gloss,and the pulp is removed by gently tap-ping with a stiff brusb.

From time to time the pulp should bowashed away by allowing a stream ofwater to flowon the glass. Nothing butthe network of fibres of the leaf shouldremain.

The skeleton leaves are bleavhed byplacing them in a shallow dish of waterto which about a teaspoooful of chlorideof lime has been add»d. In a day or twothey will be bleached to a pure while,when they should be removed to a dishof pure water for a fiual cleaning. Theyshould be dried by being pressed betweenfolds of clean cloth, and are then readyto lend themselves to any ornamental de-sigu one wishes.

In olden times it was the custom 'forIndies to give their sweethearts hnndker-cbiefs with their initiate embroidered withthe fairdonor's hair, Anger rings ur watrhchains made from hair. Such fashionshave died out, but the fashion of embroid-ering handkerchiefs with hair has beenrevived.

It may not be known that for embroid-ering purposes hair should be soaked inboilinic water before u«ing it to make itsoft and pliable, so that it can be thread-ed iv a flue needle and used like nilk.One method is to lay down severalstrands o£ hair and sew or couch it downwith tine silk. Feather stitching is oftendone with hair, and with a littlepracticeis very effective. In figure embroideryhair is used for the eyebrows and eye-lashts, making the figure uaiich morenatural looking.

The diameter of the silver dollaris ex-actly an inch and one-half, and its thick-ness eighty-thousandths of an inch.

Jefferson is said to have been the firstAmerican statesman to suggest the dollaras the financial unit of our currency.

The standard dollar was authorized bynet ot congress, February 28, 187H, andcoinage was begun in the same year.

The common nickel (5c piece) was au-thorized by act of congress May It!, 'KWJ,and its coinage wag begun the same year.

Id IfM congress provided for the Usu-ing of four coins: A $10 gold piece, adollar of silver, a 10c piece and a coppercent.

The old-fashioned copper cent was au-thorized by act of congress April '2i, 17U2,and its coinage was begun the followingyear.

The la nickel piece received the au-thorization of congress by a law pannedApril3, 1805, nnd its coinage was begunthe same year.

The eagle, being the national bird, appears on many of our coin*, and its namehaH been appropriated to the golden ten-dollar piece from that fact.

The decimal system proposed by Mor-ris was this: Ten quarters, one penny ;ten pence, one bit or one bill; ten bits,one dollar, ami ten dollars, one crown.

The bronze 2c piece was first coined in1804, being authorized by act of congressin the same year. The issuance of thiscoin was discontinued February 12, 1873.

Our coinage once comprised a $.'!gold piece. The authorized act for thiscoin was passed February 21, 1853, andi'a coinage was begun in 1854. Itis saidthat very few ofkb(M pieces nro cow inexistence.

A United States historian says that"the first coins struck by the UnitedStates mint were sori'.e half dime*, in17!)J; the first dimes were struck inFrance from old silver family platrfurnished by Washington, the coins beingknown as 'Martha Washington dimes,'from an adnptation of the liberty head tothat of Martha Wasbingtou."

The 5c silver piece, familiar to our fath-ers, was authorized by congress April 2,1792, und its coinage wbb begun the sameyear, its coinage was discontinued rebruary 12, 1873.

The first step taken by uur governmentin the direction of a coinage was in 1781,when Robert Morris was intrusted witlithe duty of investigating the subject andmaking a report.

The mint report says that "the nickel5c piece furnishes a key to the metricsystem of measures and weights. Thediameter ofthis coin 1s two centimeters,and ite weight is five grammes."

The trade dollar was originally coinedfor foreign use, particularly in oureast<"ntrade. It was authorized by act of con-gress, passed February 12, 1873, and ittcoinage was begun in 1874.

A pleasant 'guess' is to name bow-many dollar bills would be required '.weigh as a $1M gold piece. Answersfluctuate between 300 hs the lowest and1000; the correct number being thirty-four.

The silver 3c piece, once familiarat thecounters of post olliceit, was authorizedby act uf congresß March 3, 18-31, and it?coinage was begun the game year. Itecoinage was discontinued February 1-',1873.

The purpose of coing a 3o piece was tofurnish a proper equivalent fur the 3cpostage damp when that stamp was idvie fur letters. This coin was competedof 75 per cent of silver and 25 per cent ofcopper.

The "Fugio" coins were struck in NewYork and were »0.-a!le.l from the deviceemployed on the reverse of the coin, thisaiuoiiK the other things being a dial withthe word, "Fugio," and inscription,"Mind your business."

The first law of congress on the subjectofcoinage provided that ihe coins SDOuldbe dated according to the year in whichthey were issued, and accordingly thefoins issued under the law of 178(3 weredated iv the following year.

The first United State* coins bore thelikened* of Martha Washington. Thegeneral was ureatly annoyed and had thedie altered, fearing that his political op-ponents would construe the immage onthe coiu as indicating a desire for royalhonors.

It is said that the $20 and $3 gold piecesand the "Bland" dollar are the onlycoins perpetuating the designer's nmne.Underneath the lower line of the medalUon ou the obverse of the gold piece is

J. B. L. (Jmnes B. Langacre). In near-ly the same position on the obverse efthe "Bland" dollar Is the letter "M"; italso appears on the reverse, upon the leftfold of the ribbon uniting the wreath, be-ing the initial letter of Morgan.

One million standard silver dollarsweigh 312,5000,000 grain* or 859,375ounces troy, or 71,0 M.M pounds troy, or58,028.57 pounds avoirdupois, or 29,464"short" tons of 2>XX) pounds avoirdupoiseach, or 26,307 "long" tons of 2240pounds avoirdupois each.

The 20c pieoe was authorized March 3,1870, and its coinage was begun the sameyear. Its coinage wan discontinued byact ofcongress May 2, 1878; great incon-venience and annoyance to the publicarising from the confusions of this coinwith the 25c piece.

In 1784 Thomas Jefferson made a re-port to congress recommending theSpanish dollar and subsidiary coinage aathe system of currency. The smallest coinswere to be of copper, 200 making a dollarand suggested that the decimal systeu ofincrease in the different pieces should beused.

Our nickel coins aro really misnamed,and should be styled copper coins. The3o nickel contains 75 per cent of copperand only 25 per cent of nickel. The ordi-nary 5c nickel in common use has thesame proportions of copper and nickel,three-fourths of the former «nd one-fourthof the latter.

It is not generally known that the word"dollar" appeartt in Shakesprar'a works,being used in Measure for Measure, writ-ten in 1603, in act i., sceue 2, "To »3000a year"; in Macbeth, written ia KiOti,act i., scene 2, where burial is refused toSweno's men until 'Ten thousand dol-lars to our general use" have been paid.

The drat coins really deserving tbename of United States coinage were stuckoffas "pattern pieces" by Benjamin Dud-ley, at tbe instigation of Robert Morris,and were laid before congress in 1783 asspecimens of what tbe coinage shouldbe. They were a "mark" and a "quint"and thus desciihed : The "mark"—ob-verse ; an eye, the center ol & glory, thir-teen points, cross equidistant, a circle ofas many stare. The "quint" ij similarin design, the value on reverse beingnoted.

Seven different explanations have beenmade of the origin of Hie dollar mark,one ol the most reasonable making it acontraction of the letters U. 8. writtenover each other in the style of a mono-gram, while nuotlicr doclurea it to be ». untr.-.i-t Km nf the emblem formerly nse<lon a Spanish piece of eight. Thin was arude representation of the pillars of Her-cules, crossed and united by a scroll,with the motto, Plus ultra. Thn hurriedattempt to represent this device in writ-ten characters resulted, it is said, in thesign now used.

Miss Anna Williams is the name of thelady whose profile is stamped upon theBland silver dollar. When the designerMorgan came to this country from Eng-land in 1870 to make a drawing fur a newdollar he settled in l'hiladclphia with theaim of Americanizing his work, beingdesirous to pres>eut as the principle figurea representative bead of nu Americanbeauty, finally selecting Mins Williams,who was living at the time with her auntin the city. Sho »mh ijikoiihc'u us of the'lltimu'e Ude of thi' oke'ih f-l.e gave sit-tiugH fur, and nut unlil two years afier-ward ri.i-i the secret dUclOMd.

To cain an Men ef h billiou of coins"place a five-dollar gold j>ie<e on theground and pile upon it a» many as willreach SO feet in height; then place num-bers of similar columns in clone contact,tormina a straight line, and making awall 20 feet hi&li, showing only thetbin edges of the coin. Imagine twosiu-h walls running parallel to each otherand forming a loots street. It would benecessary to keep on extending thesewalls for miles; nay, hundreds of mile*,and still be far short of the requirednijiiibcr, aud not until we had extendedour imaginative street to a distance uf23803amiles that we khall have present-

ed for inspection one billion of coin*."

According to one authority, the word'dollar" is a corruption of the German

word "thaler," the form in Dutch being'daalder," Danish "daler" and Italian

"tallero." All these different forms werederived from Joachim's Thai, a Bohem-ian town where the Count of Schlick, A.D. 1518, coined some excellent pieces ivsilver of 1 ounce in weight. From thename of the town came Joachim's Thal-er, applied to the above named coins aswell as that of Sohlicken thaler. Hence,Joachim's thaler pieces were lirst con-tracted into Joachim's thalere and theninto thalera. These coins gained such areputation that they became a pattern,so that others of the same kind, thoughmade in other places, took the name, theword aßiuiminit different spelling throughthe Low Countries, reaching Spain asdollars, and through its provinces trans-mitted to the Western Hemisphere, whereit was applied to coins prior to the adop-tion of the Federal currency. In coinagethe word 'dollar' in a favorite, beingfound under various spelling in almostevery part of the globe."
