An Indian Native Mint.


 Captain Temple, in an article on the coins of modern Punisub chiefs in the new 1n- dian Antiquary, describes the Patiala mint and the methods of minting practiced there. The mint. he says, is an ordinary Punjau courtyard, about twenty feet square in the open part, entered by gate way leading into a small apartment doing duty ss an en- trance-nall, the remainder of the courtyard being surrounded by low sheds opening into it. These buildings, which look like the ''rooms" of serai, are the workshops. The method of coining In this very primitive tsmint' is described as follows: "The silver after being assayed is cast into small bars by being run into grooved iron moulds. The melting is done in the courtyard in very small quantities in little furnaces inprovised for each occasion. The thickness of the bars is about the diameter of the rupee, and when cold they are cut up by hammer and chisel by guesswork into small weights, and weighed in small balances as accurately as hand-weighing will permit. These are after wards heated and rounded by hammering into discs, and again weighed by hand and corrected by small additions of silver ham, mered in cold or by scraping. After this the disc is handed over to the professional weigher, who finally weighs it by hand and passes it. It is then stamped by hammer ing, being put between two iron dies placed in strong wooden frame. These dies are very much larger than the coins, so that only portion of the legend can come off, and the eoiners are not at all careful as to how much appears on the coin. The only thing they do Is to try and make the partiou- lar mark of the reigning chief appear. If they do not succeed, it does not matter paHchn

 It Is more dangerous to travel in some countries than in this.

They first of all court acquaintance with passengers in sarai or some other place, and then gain their confidence on the plea of being fellow-travellers going to the same place. When they reach place convenient for the purpose, they poison the water or food of the passengers, who become insensi- ble, and then they decamp with all their property.
 The acquittal of Charles Silyerman by g Pennsylvania jury of the charge of selling liquors without license in the town of Leechburg, about two weeks ago, is the latest application of the original package decision of the Supreme court. Silverman, az an agent of the Cincinnati brewing com. pany, shipped carload of Ohio beer into 6 Pennsylvania "no license" town, and sold the stuff in the original packages in spite of the State laws. The judge instructed the jury to acquis if the original packages had not been broken, basing his decision on the Supreme court decisien, and refusing to ap' ply State or local statutes to the case.

sOIRNTIFIC wHER.

And now we are told that adulterated beer is better than that which is not adulterated. The ways and means committee of the house is considering bill to prohibit the use of other ingredients in beer than malt, hops and yeast, which were formerly thought good enough. The scientific gentleman who appeared before the committee In behalf of the brewers said that the modern methods produced light, nutritious, full-favored beverage, while beer made of hops and malt only contained more alcohol, less nourishing elements, was less pal- atable and more liable to become cloudy and sour. W. H. Miles, chairman of the executive committee of the brew- ers' association, made this declaration: We claim the right to avail our- selves of the laws of chemistry in studying the nature of the material wa employ and of using such combinations of the cereal or their constituents as shall bs shown by such investigation to produce the best beer. As a result of the progress of this scientific study of our business, we are to-day producing beers which are healthful and nutritious, containing but or 5 per cent. of alcohol, while If confined to the use of malt alone, as was the practice 30 Tor 40 years ago, the ale or beer in daily use would not keep unless made 50 strong as to contain 7 to 9 per cent. of alcohol.
 This Is plausible, but the fact remains that there is abundant evidence that such beer is much more harmful to the drinker than the old kind was,

The Craze fer Dancing.

From 8 Letter in the Boston Transcript
 Dancing seems to be the faTorits amuse- ment this year, and every theater that can add dancer to its company does 80. Even at Roster & Bials, where Carmencita holds sway, there are four other dancing girls. As rule, leave Roster & Bial's when Car menoisa's dance is done, but the other night I saw the announcements little farther down the bill of the "Gaiety long skirt dan eers," go I decided to wait to see them. It took good deal of courage, for the regular performance st this theater hall is not edify- ing. There are four se-called "Gaiety dan csrs," and they wore long skirts, that is, long for ballet dancers, but they were far from being equal to real daisty dancers. They were pretty good, however, and the little one deserves front place in the ranks of. the high kiokers.

MIR. wHITMoRR,s CASE.

Deep interest is felt in Mir. Whitmore's case all over the city. He has been connect ed with the High School long time, and many classes have profited by his instruo- ton. There is no question as to his ability as teacher and disoipNnarian. He has been well liked both by pupils and teachers. He has been uniformly patient, courteous and industrious. He is good scholar hira- self, and has done his best to make good scholars out of those under his care. Charges have been made against him, and some evil dence has been brought to support them. How much and what kind cannot be told until the Board makes it's report. But there is general feeling that his present position Is, in part at least, the result of sort of conspiracy against him, and public opinion Is strongly in favor of his retention in his place if there is no insuperable obsta. ole to it. It Is understood that ever since he became the head of the High School he has had to labor against the covert opposition of the superin- tendent, who was strongly against his ap- pointment. A few of the teachers under him seem to have thought that their bread could be best buttered by taking sides against him, though most of them have stood by him. He has been in difficult position, and seems to have made some miss
 takes. There are few who wouldn't under
 such circumstances. But it fs not charged
 that under his rule scholarship in the High
 School has deteriorated, or that he has not,
 for the most part, done good and faithful
 work.
 We have taken soms pains to ascertain what the people think about the matter
 We find that the opinion is almost unani
 nous that he should be treated with all tht
 leniency possible. There is no danger tha
 he will make the same mistakes over again and his efficiency and ussfuluess would b'
 increased rather than diminished. The gen eral feeling is that he should have fai trial under the new superintendent.

This disposes of the new suit brought by Judge Terry's widow, and also terminates all other litigation in the well-known case.

JEM STANLEY'S FEAT.
A Sixteen-Year-Old Boy Bags an Ari-
iona Lion.

A special to the Philadelphia Times from
Tucson, Ariz., says: Arthur Stanley is miner
who lives near Tucson, and it was his habit
always to 60 armed in hopes of killing off the
mountain lions which came down from the
hills in the night and carried away his young
sheep. The old man had two sons James and
BERTHE, the first sixteen and the latter five
years younger. The elder Stanley always
warned his boys to take the family rife with
them when they went to hunt the cows. For
getfulness came near costing both the boys
their lives recently. One day last week at
sunset after finding the cows the BOYS were on
their way home when their dog brought lion
to bay on the top of high rock. James didn't
want to lose SO good chance to bag lions skin,
so he told BERTHE to run all the way home and
get the rifle, promising to keep the lion at bay
till the little boy got back with his fathers gun
Through fright and fatigue the little fellow lost
his way and didn't reach home at all that night.
James, who had been reinforced by a neigh
boris dog. set both animals to worrying the en-
ragged lion. which came down from its perch
and attacked the boy. James was saved by a
big hickory club and by the pluck of the two
bull dogs. All were badly bitten. James left
arm was torn, and when the dogs finally drove
the lion up tree, wearying Of the doubtful
struggle, he hobbied home for the rife, hobbled
back and brought the lion down from the top of
the tree after it had fatally wounded one of the
dogs. The lion was a full-grown male and
measured 81 feet from tip to tip. BERTHE Stan
ley was found at daylight two miles from home
asleep in the woods and James is now the hero
OF the Tucson valley.
