Tho Very Useful Cent.

Pennies. 30 long despised in the south
and west, are now demanded by those Sec
lions so eagerly that the Philadelphia
mint. the only n manufacturing minor
coins. cannot keep up with tho demand.
Three million pennies were. made at the
mint last month, but If double that num-
Der had been produced it is probable they
could at once have been placed in circula-
ton. With tho influx Of common. vulgar
copper pennies In the extravagsnt west
and tho ~aristocratic south. there is drop
in the general prices. particularly of small
articles. This. while beneftins the buy
ers. will also do good to merchants by In
creasing consumption to q very decided
extent. Pennies are very good things.
particularly il one has enough of them,
and their widespread introduction all over
the United States, though rather late in
coming. now seems assured. Trade Re-

Unhewn stone monuments are among
the most interesting relics Of prehistoric
man found in France and other portions
Of Europe. the ancient province Of Brit
.tany being especially rich In them. The
builders, Nh. Thomas Wilson states, are
supposed to have come from a more or
less remote east during the polished stone
age. bringing Q knowledge Of agriculture,
some ideas Of government and a religion,
with less Of art than the inhabitants Of
the country before them possessed. They
buried their dead, and left tho magnif-
cent monuments rel them which, to the
number Of moro than $500 In France and
more than LOCO in Brittany, are now be-
ing carefully restored and preserved by
the French government. Some of these
monuments arc made up Of many i'm
mense stones, while others are really col
lections Of monuments in great numbers.

A Violation OF TINS RUE must result In q
run. Another idea ON which judges
should lay great stress Is that the knees
must not be bent when the feet strike
the ground, and remain rigid until after
they leave it. This Is absolutely neces-
sary in fast walking, although . man can
walk fairly With his knees bent If he tries
to. but nothing can be more awkward or
unnatural. This rule necessitates . third,
which is that the heel of the forward foot
strikes the ground simultaneously as the
toe of tho rear foot leaves it. This gives
rise to the popular expression, heel and
toe walking Any n who observes
these rules will walk fairiy."-D. J. Nc

Score one failure for Bismarck. The
establishment of colonies, spropos of
which he displayed such enthusiasm a
few years ago. and for which he nearly
precipitated q war with Spain, Is &C
knowledged by his official organs to DO an
utter failure. Prince Bismarck's purpose
was to divert the stream of emigraDts
from the United. States to some land OF
lands where they would continue to be
German in speech, tastes and habits, in
stead Of becoming speedily unrecogniza-
bic as of German origin. This he pro-

mo SOFT smell and the Hard Shell.
It is q popular fallacy that soft shell
crabs are q different species from hard
shell crabs. Practical fishermen and
scientific books both disprove. it. The
soft shell crab is the hard shell crab soon
after it has .moulted. Four times q year
to the young crab and once or twice q,
year to the grown crab comes Q season Of
peril and fear. He crawls into q dark
Granny or nook in the rocks, swells out
until he cracks open his shell, and then
creeps out. This operation is sometimes
extremely painful, for his claws are much
larger than the joints through which they
must be pulled, and they are often LAGER
ated in the process. If his flesh did not
become soft and watery before shedding
he could not get out at all.
When the crab has moulted, the once
mailed warrior, who feared no foe except
o more powerful antagonist of his own
kind, is at the mercy of any enemy who
can get into his retreat. When the
female crab mouths her male consort
~chivalrously guards the entrance to her
hiding place until her skin is covered
with . fresh deposit of lime. The ex-
perienced eye ar tell when the change is
approaching. Last year q number Of
''shedders" established themselves on the
Thames, a few miles south of Norwich.
near Fort Point. They caught hard shell
crabs, imprisoned them in q crate be-
meath the water, and when the shells had
been shed, the soft shell crabs" were
shipped to New York and other points,

Old Times.

Ed. Register-Yesterda as I stood
on the sidewalks of Ironton. and look
ed up and down the streets, 1 saw in
every direction boys of all sizes and
conditions, from Snow white to sutty,
with as great a variety of sleds as there
were boys. Sleds bought at the store,
painted with all the fancy coiors, with
the name of the sled painted on it, and
slides Of lower degree. Some made of
old boards nailed together, with no
name, and do believe that some. of
those same old board sleds could go
faster and farther than any of their
finer neighbors, and as L looked at
those sleds going down those steep
streets, as swift as an arrow from the
bow, / Just thought there is no telling, by
the looks of thing-looks are deceiv-
ing; you can't always tell what man
de by his clothes. And as ] watched
those boys, I wondered some OF them
did not get run over, as they crossed the
streets where there were so many teams
constantly going and there the thought
came back to me of my boyhood dsys,
when / owned a sled made of boards
q real clipper-and how /, with all the
other boys and girls, used to go coast
ing down those steep hills on each side
of our schoolhouse. What splendid

The Jefferson Democrat says, after
giving the result of the late local op-
ton election in Iron county:
Bro. Axe can now climb down off the fence
and take his beer, as before. The position
must have been very trying to his nerves,
and they undoubtedly need some bracing.
When there's a family row the wise
man on the outside stays there, while
the fool rushes in and gets broken
head from both sides of the mouse. If
the REGISTER had taken sides in a
contest where many of its most earn
est friends and supporters were arrayed
against each other, long after the hush
of silence and peace had fallen on the
battlefield, its editor would have been
cussed and viciously discussed by all
parties. He preferred to stand on one
side-speaking of his editorial person
and let the angry contestants fight it
out. This may not have been heroic,
but it was comfortable and practical:
especially so, since the top rail in the
REGISTERS case was broad and had
no splinters.

was wholly ignorant of that fact. AL
though we have been publishing a

we were ourselves not aware that such
was the case. hence we think the Judge
was excusable for not knowing it. We

Iron county voted wet last Saturday and
will, consequently, be a sort of Botany Bay
for the dry counties all around it. 1t is per-
haps as well. A sort of penal colony where
outlaws can go when it gets too hot for them
in civilized communities is an unfortunate
necessity, and poor old Iron county may
thus offer some excuse for its continued eX-

misfortune it is to live in the county, and we
sympathize with them.-BOnne Terre Reg
