There is one means of preserving
peace, harmony and good-will in our
rifci:tl relations which, although very
simple, wry just and manifestly very
effective, is pcrhap3 more frequently
.shunned and disliked than any other.
It is the frank admission of having
. heen in the wrong: Nothing bo quickly
disarms resentment, calms irritation,
melts away cold displeasure, turnH
finger into tenderness, and changes
a defiant attitude to ono of sympathy,
as this candid confession, and yet few
words arc more rarely uttered. Tho
simple avowal of the truth, without ex
cuse or palliation: I was wrong." or
"I was mistaken,' or "1 regret having
said or done as I did" is worth a

then confession to the one who ha
been wronged is a debt which justice
demands, and which magnanimity will
hasten to pay. Very often it is the only
reparation that it is possible to make.
There is no hesitation as to the duty of
restoring what has Immjii borrowed or
making good any property of
our
neijrjioor s mat we may nave injured;
yet if we have hurt his feelings or in-
ured hi goo.1 name, or in any way
taken some drops out of his cup of hap- '
pin 'ss which can. not be restored, is it i
too much for us to confess the wrong ',
and to express whatever regret we
truly feel? Is there not. something
mean and ungenerous, as well as nil- i
just, in the spirit that refuses to niako
the only possible atonement? And yet
how common is such a refusal! What
i-tlie reason that this is held to bo
jHuard a task? Why is it that men
;jr "ajnen who would scorn to evade
a'lu-JJiietary obligation will, time after
time, and day after day, evade the debt
of honest confession which thev owe to
their fellow-men? Are they ashamed

A few muffs of velvet or dress ma
terial have a broad band of duck's
breast down the middle.
The violin gown is pretty, simple
and very much worn. It consists of
an accordion-plaited Ekirt. full or
tucked waist, finished by a broad sash,
with high puffed sleeves.
A full skirt of jea-green crepe,
looped at irregular intervals over a
petticoat of dark-green velvet, a velvet
Directoire coat with a full crope bust,
will make a becoming gown for a
blonde.
Quite a new arrangement for the boa
is to pin ono end to the dress front,
draw it around the neck and carry it
down to the left side of the waist quite
under the arm. Pin here again and
let this one end hang.
Patent leather has been largely sup
planted by the kid and satin shoes.
This is hardly a cause for grief, as the
constant contraction and expansion of
tho varnish by heat and cold rendered
j them disagreeable for constant wear.

their makers, have relaxed sadly of

RARE AMERICAN COINS.
rhe Price Which Collector Have to Pay
for Bop of Theaa.
Of the silver dollars nearly all th
earlier issues are in demand at a slight
premium, and that of 1794, in which
the Goddess of Liberty is depicted with
flowing hair, is worth 20. As for th
dollar of 1804, of which few are known,
any copy in good condition will brinjf
1200. Tho flying eagle of 1838 and 1839
and the coins of 1851. 1&2. ami 18o8
with the liberty-loving lady seated are
worth at least $15 each. The one timo
despised trade dollars, issued 1879 to
1883 inclusive, are at a premium of 10
cents each. Of half dollars those of
1796 and 1797. with fifteen or sixteen
stars, bring T15 each. Others of value
are dated 1794. 1801. and 1802. andthero
are many more, such as 183G with a
liberty cap, 1838 with an "O mark
under the head, and a coin of 1853
with Liberty seated, which are worth
from T2 to $5 each. The scarce quar
ters are those of 1823 and 1827 with
the head to the left, each valued at $15.
while the 179G fillet head is to be had
for f2 and that of 1804 for $1. Twenty
cent silver pieces of 187C bring 30
cents; those of the succeeding year aro
cheap at $1.50. The dimes of tho
grandfathers are mostly worth from
five to twenty times their face value,
while half-dimes in slh-er bring from
fifty cents to $2 each, and a special
brand of the vintage of 1802 will com
mand $25. Silver three-cent pieces
run from 20 to 50 cents: nickel fives 15
to 30 cents each, and nickel threes 15
to 25.
There is a great demand for old cop
per cents, the first ambition of every
collector being to start even with tho
procession in 1793 or so and bring it
down to date with a coin for each year.
It will cost him from $1 to $3 for tho
various kinds issued in 1793, ?3 for
1799 and $2.50 for ISO 1. With the ex
ception of a cent of 1809 with the head
to the left, the rest are reasonable in
price. Half cents are in demand, and
readily command from $4 to $6 for
those of certain years lietweeii 1831
aud 1849. But in these it must not ho
understood that those of all years are
equally in request. Those issued 1810
18 inclusive, with the head to the left,
average about $5 each. Washington
medals, old-fashioned cents, and tho
copper issues of New York. Vermont,
Massachusetts, and a foreign country
known as New Jersey bring, provided
they have the necessary earmarks,
sums ranging from $1 to $10.
There is not much call for gold coins,
but trial pieces aro valuable, and good
proofs of doublo eagles of some years,
as 1853 and 1850, bring a small pre
mium. Scarce half eagles are those of
1815 and 1822. and worth fully $20
each. On other dates from 1795 to
1834 some 20 to 30 per cent, premium
is paid. Three-dollar gold pieces of
1805 and 1870. with the figure of an In
dian Princess, brings $0 and $5, re
spectively. Quarter eagles of early
dates run from $3 up to $9. and there
are many gold dollars for which a slight
advance on their face value must be
paid.
Intending collectors need not dis
tress themselves in looking for dollars
of the years 1805-'35, inclusive, for Un
cle Sam was either short of metal or
otherwise busy those thirty years and
none were coined. There were no
cents rushed on the market in 1815,
aud no eagles from 1805 to 137. inclu
sive. The Confederate States made a
die for a silver dollar and struck off a
few. but ran out of silver. An authen
tic coin of that issue would bring
$1,000. As a contrast to this it may be
noted that you can get a jH:nny of the
Ca'sars for 50 cents. Chicago Tribune.
AMERICAN MUMMIES.
An
IntertMtinc I!rery Made
Kivrrtt Mmlrr .MniititHiii.
In tin
A Mexican archaeologist, Senor Mar
ghiere. has recently made an interest
ing discovery of naturally mummified
human bodies in a cavern in the Sierra
Madre Mountains. The cavern is of a
natural origin, and lies at tho height of
about 7,000 feet above the sea. The
mouth of the ojening had been artifi
cially closed with sun-dried bricks and
stones, so contrived as not only to close
but to conceal the entrance. In tho
cave tho dessicated remains of four
human bodies were found, apparently
all members of one family, the father,
mother, a boy and a girl. Tho bodies
were in the position so commonly
givon to the dead by American Indians;
they were in a sitting posture, tho
hands crossed over the breast, and the
head inclined forward toward tho
knees. They all were placed with their
faces toward the East, and were
shrouded in burial garments.
In articles concerning these remain
the writer assumes that tho preserva
tion of the bodies was due to the jecu
liarly high and dry atmosphere of this
southern clime and elevated level. In
this conclusion he is mistaken, for the
reason that, in at least one case of a
human body, discovered about fifteen
years ago in a cavern near the Natural
Cave in Kentucky, a similar natural
desiccation had taken place. The re
mains were those of a child twelve or
fourteen years of age. The unfortu
nate creature had evidently been lost
in the cavern, and had wandered until
starvation brought about death. The
position of the body was that of per
fect repose, showing that the sleep of
exhaustion had passed into the rest of
death. In this case, as in that of tho
remains found by Senor Marghiere.
the integument was well preserved,
there being no trace of decay in any
part of the form; even somethiugof the
expression of the face remained despite
the emaciated look given by the pro
cess of desiccation.
Whenever the circumstances of bur
ial are such as would be afforded by
any caverns in this country, where the
access of the germs which conduct the
fermentative process of decay is pre
vented, and where the air has an ordi
nary dryness, a like process of mum
mification would certainly ensue. It
thus seems probable that the Egyptian
took aa unnecessary amount of pains
to preserve their dead in the mummified
condition. In their dry climate the
same end could have been attained by
much simpler processes. As far as the
preservation of form is concerned these
mummies of Mexico or Kentucky are
bodies as well preserved as any ei
those from Egyptian burial place.

raid upon the town of Wetherby. when
I was commissioned by the vicar's wife
' (a lady whose charity was unbounded)
I to deliver to twenty-seven families
! some nourishing food which she was
I going to give them. When I hud fin-
i ished my mission the kind old lady
wished to give mo some remuneration
I for my trouble, but as I declined to ac
cept any she insisted upon my taking
tea with the servants. After tea, the
housemaid said to the cook: "Now,
Jenny, let us throw the cups," and as
I was only a boy aud naturally curious
to know what they were about to do.
I was very attentive. She threw her
own cup first, and declared: "No luck
in it" She then threw mine, and said.
"Tlioo's luck, mi lad." She next
threw Jenny's, and exclaimed, "Put

Johnny was Jenny's lover, and. as

Jenny, I went with her. Just as we
turned the corner close to the house
where she was going sure enough
there was Johnny knocking ut the
door. I then went home, and you may
be sure after what I had witnessed Ie
catne thoroughly converted to the be
lief of the cup business. Some time
after Jenny, the cook, having left her
place, came to stay at our house for a
fortnight- Reing a lively sort of girl
and full of necromancy, we often had
a bit of fun at the breakfast and tea
table by her throwing tho cup. On
the morning of her departure she said
j to me: "As this is tho last timo I
shall be with vou for some time we
will throw the cups.' She then threw
mine, with the same result; it had al
ways been "good luck." She then
threw her own cup. as she had done
