THE TRUTH ALWAYS. **When you are in doubt tell the truth." It was nu experienced old diplomat who said this to a beginner in the work. It may pass in some things, but not in business. Fraud and decep tion are often profitable so long as concealed; yet detection is certain, sooner or later; then comes the smash-up and the punishment. The best and safest way is to tell the truth all the time. Thus you make friends that stick by you and a reputation that is always worth twenty shillings to the pound everywhere your goods are offered for sale. We are able modestly to affirm, that it is on this basis that the world wide popularity of

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION* rests. The people have discovered that this medicine is exactly what it is said to be, and that it does what we have always declared it will do. Its nature also has been frankly made known. It is palatable as honey and contains all the nutritive and curative properties of l'ure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from frash cad livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphates and the Extracts of Malt and Wild.

I was shown a specimen by the cashier at the Assay Office adjacent, but cannot endorse all that is being said in its favour as a product of the aumismatic art. It certainly does not match the English sovereign, its equivalent, either in the simple -impressiveness of its design or as an emblem

of national character expressed in the currency, of the State.

Apart from the decision of Congress to restore to the gold coins of America the motto In God We Trus," omilled by St. Gagdens for artistic ieasons, with the assent of President Roosevelt, on the ground that it was superroga“ tory, there was a practical difficulty of stacking Conveniently and safely the St. Gaudens design. In the new coin the designs of the eagle on one side and the head of an Indian chief in feathered war bonnet on the other are ruok into the metal like a cameo; so that the face of the coin is smonth, to the touch, and no portion protrudes from the level of the field of the coin.

́plicity of heads now appearing in the various jesues. In the process of simplification it has ban decided to limit the designs to two, the portraits of Washington and Frankilo. Wash- ington, typifying the national idea, and regarded | as " pator' patrim," will appear on all denominaț tions, with one exception, the one-cent stamp. For this Franklle is to be retained, the favour being shown to him alone by reason of the peculiar and unique place which he holds in the memory and aff:clion of the American' people.

The only decoration is a few Jaurel leaves with “U. S. Postage at the top and the valņe at the bottom. The portraits will appear in direct profile, though hitherto the faces of both "Washington and Frankila have appeared in aa three-quarter aspect. This change is made partly for economy's sake, effecting a saving of £400 a year, as the stool plates from which the alamps are printed will not need to be re- placed so often. The fine lines of the three- quarter face soon became indistinct. The United States is thus following the custom of other nations in using the same head of the suler through all- the denominations, and is giving up the variety which has almost ran riúi in special issues.
