Uncle Epuralm had two hogs, which he kept in a pen at the rear end of his little lot. They were of the razor back" variety, and although they were fed bountifully with kitchen waste, it seemed impossible to put and fat on their attenuated frames. One morn ing when be went out to feed them they were not there. They had dis appeared, leaving no clew as to the manned in which they had made their escape. "What's the matter, Uncle Eph?" inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep dejection with which the old man was looking down into the empty pen. "My hawg8 is done gone. Bah," he answered. - "Stolen?" "No, sah. I don't see no signs dat anybody tuck 'em." "Did they climb out over the top?'" "No, dey couldn't 'a done dat." "How do you think they got away?"

ENCOURAGING SIGNS CF LIFE Liberal Contribution in United States and Canada for Work of the Foreign Missions. f In spite of the financial depression the offerings of the United States and Canada for foreign missions increased last year $602,000. The increase of in come from the foreign field was even more remarkable, being $1,360,000. The total gifts on the foreign field was $4,844,000, and this amount 'was 48 per cent, of the total amount con tributed for foreign missions by the Protestant churches of North America. The increase of native converts last year was 164,674, or over 450 a day. The cumulative effects of the foreign mission enterprise is shown by the fact that it took 100 years to gain the first million converts. The second million were secured in 12 years, and they are now being added at the rate of a million in six years. The percent age of the increase of the church membership of America was one and one-half, while the increase of Amer ican missions abroad was 12 per cent. Two members were added in America for each ordained minister, while 41 were added in the foreign field for each ordained American missionary. The Missionary Review of the World. They Win.

De- Acids Used to Remove Small Quanti ties of Metal from Coins Probe for the Lincoln Penny Jewelry Fad. New York. Federal secret service agents under orders from Chief John E. Wilkie, have been making a canvass of jewelers' and electroplating shops in the Maiden lane district in an effort to run down persons suspected of stripping coins that is, removing small quantities of gold or silver from the surfaces of coins by a chemical process. Inquiries also were made as to several new kinds of coin jewelry, Including articles made from Lincoln pennies. ' The inquiry as to coin stripping was started after many circulating coins, including $20 gold pieces, were found to be short of the prescribed -weight. The loss seemed to be more than is usual when coins are worn off from frequent handling. They are suspi cious that coins have been reduced in weight by the stripping process, in which. they are. dipped for an hour or .two in aqua regia, a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids. Into which an electric current is turned. When the electric power and the strength of the acids are fixed in the proper relation to the weight of the coins treated, it is believed, the metal is "sweated" oft the surface of the coins so smoothly that they are not changed in appear ance. Valuable, quantities of the precious metals have been obtained criminally, it is suspected, through the stripping of many coins. The. detached metal clings to a receiving plate, from which it is readily collected by the strippers, who have no difficulty in selling it for cash to jewelers or even to the gov ernment, since there is no suspicion of the method by which it was ob- John E. Wilkie. tained. The coins are passed into cir culation at their face value. Coins also have been stripped, it is sus pected, by using them for short inter vals in electroplating tanks. Many coins that have been offered for deposit at banks recently have the designs brought out more sharply than is natural. It is supposed that these coins have been stripped and were left in the acid hath too long. But even in these coins the untrained eye would see no sign of mutilation. One of the largest electroplaters said that strippers could take as much as a pennyweight of gold, worth more than a dollar, from a $20 gold 'piece with out making any easily perceptible change. There is no risk of loss In damaging gold coins, because if the acid should eat too much or roughen the surface the entire coin may he melted up and the metal sold for an amount equal to the value of the coin. A special difficulty in getting evi dence against the stripper is that even if he be caught with the coins in solution nothing is proved, as he can say that he intends to use the coins, instead of bullion, for plating, and will not try to ' pass them as money. There is no law against dis solving or melting coins, provided they are destroyed as currency, and many jewelers fuse gold coins instead of go ing to the trouble of getting bullion for the purpose. None of the estab lished electroplaters is suspected of being engaged in the illegitimate prac tice. It is supposed that temporary plants are put up by strippers in se cluded lofts of factory buildings, as little equipment is required. The fad for Lincoln pennies In jew elry received attention because a gold plated penny might be mistaken for a five-dollar gold piece. It was re called that when the five-cent nickels were first used they did not have the word "cent" on them. Many such coins were plated with gold and passed on ignorant immigrants as five-doliar gold pieces. The secret service men who in quired here as to the use of the gold plated pennies made no objection to such plating. Jewelers have made inquiries of the authorities here and in Washington, and have been in formed that the law as to mutilation of coins applies only to gold and sil ver coins. Besides, pennies are made more valuable by gold plating. In certain western cities, it is re ported, the federal authorities have prohibited manufacturers of jewelry from plaiting Lincoln pennies with gold. That is held to account for an Increased demand on the manufactur ers here who make the pennies into scarf pins, brooches and other art! cles.

SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT SLEEP "I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cutlcura Rem edies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cutlcura Soap to wash her with and then ap plied Cutlcura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,' together with Cuticura Re solvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she Is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was Covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect nntil we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H.

But it has illuminated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When the blood is " bad " or impure it is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is also clouded, the mind and judgement are effected, and many an evil deed or impure thought may be , directly traced to the impurity of the blood. Foul, Impure blood can be made pure by tbe use ot Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It enriches and purities the blood thereby curing, pimples, blotches, eruptions and other cutaneous affec tions, as eczema, tetter, or salt-rheum, hives and other manifes tations of Impure blood. In the cure of scrofulous swellings, enlarged glands, open eating ulcers, or old sores, the " Golden Medical Discovery " has per formed the most marvelous cures. In cases of old sores, or open eating ulcers, it is well to apply to the open sores Dr. Pierce's All Healing Salve, which possesses wonderful healing potency when used as an application to the sores in conjunction with the use of "Golden Medical Discovery" as a blood cleansing constitutional treatment. If your druggist don't happen to have the "All-Healing Salve" in stock, you can easily procure it by inclosing fifty cents in postage stamps to Dr. R.V. Pierce, 663 Main St., Buffalo, , N. Y., and it will come to you by return post. Most druggists keep it as well as the " Golden Medical Discovery." You can't afford to accept any medicine of unknown composition as a sub stitute for "Golden Medical Discover'," which is a medicine of known com position, having a complete list of ingredients in plain English on its bottle wrapper, the same being attested as correct under oath. .
