Face Of Ten. Year-Old Has Appeared !
on Millions of Coins of the J
United States. .
The government of the United States
Is 1885 made ill) offer of $1,000 for the
most acceptable design to be iplnced
ppon ilu' new < ent coin soon te be
issued. Some ? Indian , chiefs traveled
from the northwest to Washington to
visit ilif < J rent Futher and then,
.tourneyed to Philadelphia to see the
"whit, whose chief engraver was James
Barton 1 .01 urn ere. who invited them to
his iioiue.
The engraver's daughter, Sarah,
aged I'). greatly enjoyed the visit of
her father's gutvsts and during the eve
niug, to please 'liter. one of the chiefs
l?ok off his feathered helmet and war
bonnet and placed It on her head. In
the company was an artist, who ihV
mediately sketched her and handed tin
picture to her father. Mr. Ivongacre
knowing of the competition for a like
toss to go upon the cent projected,
?ndcr t ho Inspiration of the hour, re
solved to contend for the prltce offered
fcy the government. To his delight the
offlclnls accepted* It, and till" face of
his daughter appeared upon the coin,
which wns circulatod about the nation
for nearly a century. There were
mire than a hundred competitions.

How England Grows.
A great deal of Interest is taken
In England in the question of coast
protection. The ocean, assailing the
cliffs, gradually tears them ayvny, but
this very process furnishes a defense
for the land by ..building up long
benches o^-saml and shingle which ar
rest the waves before they can attach
the cliffs. An effort Is making to pre
vent, or hotter regulate, the removal of
this material for construction and road
building, because in many placcs It*
removal lias permitted the sen free
ly to exert its power of erosion.
The ordnance survey has nseertalned
that in the last half century England
has lost 0,040 acres by sea erosion
and gnlned 48.000 acres through re
claiming land the existence of which
is mainly due to material brought
down by the rivers.

gathering the huts In various Islands.
In Tahiti the natives climb* the trees
with (he help of a strip of groen.
fibrous bark torn off the stem of a
hibiscus tree. After knotting the two
ends together, tho climber' slips hlu
feet half through the circle, and.
standing with his legs apart, so as to
stretch the thong tight, ascends Ihe
tree In h series of leaps, with a foot
nn each side of the trunk.
"A practiced climber will thus
mount trees of a ^very considerable
height with a celerity and ease which
do not suggest the long practice actu

Ready for Gabriel.
A negro doughboy who had hit
Paris on A. W. O. L. and supplied
himself generously with the vln sis
ters, .mingled with stronger waters,
woke suddenly In a still befuddled
condition in the great urban ceme
tery of Pere la f'hniso. whither his
uncertain steps had taken him. To
make It worse, there was an air raid
going on.
The brother looked around him out
of half closed eyes. On every side
stretched long rows of white monn
ments. Sirens shrilled from the city
streets. Dazzling beams of white
light stabbed the heavens. There
could be but one conclusion.
Hastily searching his, pockets, he
drew forth his remaining possessions
? a bottle of vin blanc, a park of
greasy cards, a much worn pair of
Ivories ? and hurled them from him.
"Git gone away f'un^ me. evidence."
he muttered. "Now eome on. Mlstur
