CONCERNING canned goods: Re
move the contents the moment the cans
are opened; otherwise there is danger
Of poisoning from the action Of the air
upon the soldering. The quality Of
the contents may be tested by pressing
the bottom Of the can. II the contents
are sound the bottom viii be solid and
impossible to push up. If the contents
are decompose1 the tin will rattle like
the bottom OF the sewing machine oiler.
Reject a can that shows rust around
the inside Of the cap. also all those that
do not show the amber line Of resin
around the edge. If tie latter is absent,
the sealing was affected by muriGtic
acid and the contents may be poisonous.

Lucx COINS AND CHARMS.
Articles Carried to Keep on Disease
and Appease Witches.

On the 23d, an ~extravagant gentle
man stopped at a Denver fruit store =
purhased five cents worth Of peanuts OF
the presiding genius, who happened tq
be a small boy whose brown skin and
black eyes denoted that he vas child OF
sunny Italy. As the gentleman was IN
no hurry, and as the dirty awning over
the peanut stand afforded some shelter
from the rain, the gentleman fingered,
ate his purchase and chatted with the
boy. When he had finished his chat he
gave the boy a nickel. The youth
smiled, thanked his ~benefactor, spit
upon the coin and put it in his pocket.
why did you spit upon that nickel be-
fore you put it into your pocket ~
asked the gentleman.
"Me spita on hicks for lucks."
The act of splitting on a gilt coin to
bring luck was a new thing to the ques-
toner, but it set his mind upon the sub
iect Of lucky coins, and during the day
he inquired among his acquaintance
with a view of ascertaining how many
of them carried luck coins OF pocket
pieces. He found that almost every
man whom he met carried some sort OF
coin, medal or odd article in his pockets
either as an oblation TO Dame Fortune
or as souvenirs.
The greater number of coins were
either from foreign minis on were coins
of the United States, either counterfeit
or SO badly defaced as to be of no use as
legal tender for anything. Several were
1-cent pieces, which until very recently
were almost useless in Colorado, as only
dimes and niekles were used as small
change.
One young married man, who had
Just declared that he hadn't got a cent
with him, fished a very black nickel out
of his pocket when the matter Of souv-
enirs came up. He said that that didn't
count for money, as he carried it for
ten years and wouldn't spend it. When
asked why he treasured it SO carefully,
he smiled sheepishly and said: well,
