delighted at having dis covered a profile that exactly ruinnea his ideal of beauty closed a bargain then and there with the waitress for the use of her classic features in the design for the coins It

her patrician expression and Greek pro file The design for tho coins was pre pared by Mr St Gaudens at the ro quest of the president When it was noised abroad that Miss Cunninghams features had been copied the matter came to the attention of the Pennsyl vania state council of the Independent Order of Americans and tho members resolved without disrespect to Miss Cunningham or her race that it was unpatriotic to stamp the money of the United States with the features of a foreign born girl no matter how beautiful and that it ought to bo pos sible to And an American born young woman whoso profile would suit the requirements The protest of the or der has been duly called to the atten tion of Secretary Cortelyou of the treasury department Conspicuous among those who are under charges in

Smith In his quaint History of New England and the Summer Isles published in Lon don in 1624 gives probably the first written account of the muskrat He says that the mussacus is a beast of the form and nature of our English water rat and adds that some of them smell exceedingly strong of musk These animals may he caught in almost any sort of trap baited with sweet apples or parsnips MuBk rats have very strong teeth and can use them on wood effectively so It is wise to protect all corners and cracks in your wooden traps with pieces of tin or sheet Iron They have good noses and can smell an apple a long distance off Place your traps in tho shallow water at the edge of the mill pond or stream inhabited by these rats and they will doubtless find It without difficulty Young muskrats are very gentle and playful and may be handled without fear They do not grow fierce with age if reared in captivity and ac customed to gentle treatment Receiving Tommy There is a certain Inspector of
