 Everybody knows that the blanks for coining nickels and cents are turned out ill this city. The bright circles with their milled edges are stamped out, all being of uniform size and weight. The transfer to the mint is then made and the number of pieces in q package is reckoned by its weight. One hundred pennies weigh exactly one pound. When these pieces reach the mint they are subjected to d finishing process, which consists in stamping them with the de nomin ation, lettering and characters seen on the coins when they reach the pu olic Tc accomplish this great pres sure is needed, as the pieces are not heated again after leaving the factory, the amount of pressure required is simply enormous, considering the size of the pieces. The copper pennies require pressure of 10 tons avoirdupois, while with the nickel piece it is necessary to put on a pressure of from 12 to l5 tons.

Two facts brought to the reporters notice are of interest. One is, you can always stop an impending sneeze-sven in a grippy time-by firmly and decided ly pressing a finger upon that part of the upper lip where the septum, or divi- sion between the nostrils, unites with the lip. (Burglars. 'tis said, know the trick, and resort to it in critical mo- ments, when threatened sneeze might betray their presence.) The other item is not less curious. Ask almost any body to tell, without looking at his watch, what Roman characters on the face of it indicate 3, and he will say III. Right. Now what indicates 4? Ten to one he will say "IV." Almost anybody would. Look at your watch and see.
 Young girls of New Haven have formed an anti-chewing gum club, and are seeking recruits with good success. The abstinence chewing pledge taken by the members is for two months. If they remain firm in the faith to the end of that period they will be invited to swear off for life. A lady interested in the club has promised those who abstain for two months reward of merit in the shape of liberal donation of candy. Some of those in the reform have the crusading spirit, and propose to extend the work to this and other cities. The tutti-frutti dealers view the movement with alarm.

"One reason why men arc not success full in shaving themselves" said . bar Der day or two ago. "is because they do not pay any attention to their tools. 4 barber sharpens his razor with the utmost care twice for every man he slaves, and yet there arc lots of men shaving themselves, who sla,n a razor over the strap two or three times before they begin operations, and never bother about the matter again. And that's just where they make a mistake. have been in the business for many years and 1 am still wondering why . man ever goes to a barber shop to ge, shaved"

 What makes the peculiar fascination of the game of draw poker, and why does it hold such a sway over those who have become more or less proficient in it?' is double-jointed question often asked. From what 1 have seen and heard should say it is because of all games of cards poker is the most socia- ble. It gives you the chance to select your party, and you have right to chaff and blackguard your adversary and do everything you please with him. This is something which no other game admits. The poker player has five cards, and he does with them as he plsases. They may not be worth cent and yet if the holder has what they call nerve, the cards may bring him many dollars. In addition to being the most sociable, poker is also the best game one can think of offhand in which to indulge, if one has too much cash in hand.

 The Republican this morning printed the life story of Edith O'Gorman, the escaped num-. as told by herself, with out criticism or approval, showing it's characteristic spirit of unfairness. Here is the story of the woman's life as told by the Now York Sun In 1888 Miss O'Gorman was expelled from Q convent in Paterson, N. J., being discovered late at night in one of the halls under suspi cious circumstances. She afterward pleaded in person and by letter to be allowed to return, the original letters being still in existence, but was refused re admission. She next figured in an escapade at Jersey City, where she was handled roughly by an editors wife, for cause. In 1879 the Boston Republic printed an account of an escapade in that city in which Miss O'Gorman and Q certain Professor Auffray were the principals Those facts about the woman have never been denied.

Note Book.
 Much speculation has been induleed in during the past week. by catholics, as to the meaning of the remarks of the American's Saturday contributor, "That there are tendencies in the Catholic church. as distinct from the Catholic people, which should b. plainly dis cussed and firmly resisted" The con- tributor is supposed to be . Catholic, and, as such. Catholics claim he should know that while tho tendencies of the individual may be bad those of the church cannot be for Catholic teaching maintains that the church has been divinely established, miraculously sus- tained, and according to the promise of Christ. will be under Divine guidance until the end of time. What then, they ask Mir Contributor, are those tenden- cies so noxious in the church yet not perceived in Catholic people.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
PARIS, June 25.- BY cable to the New
York Herald. DIR. Brown Sequard has
again come to the fore. 1t will be remem-
bered what a sensation he created a wear
ago by the discovery for which he claimed
the same virtue of the Fountain of
YOUTH" and scientists gave his discovery
the cold shoulder and the Academy of
Medicine refrained from appointing a
special committee to consider the subiect.
as it has often done in analogous cases.
Recently the Academy of Biology, before
which DR.. Brown-Sequard read first his
report en- the discovery, was notified that
the learned doctor desired to acquaint them
with new developments in the system.
During the winter months while residing in
Nice, he experiments with septic mice
lions of his famous solution and found i'm
mense benefit from it. In his report DIR
Brown-Sequard claimed that by the new.
treatment there had been rapidly cured
cases OF chronic intermittent fever, rooted
neuralgia, rheumatism, insomnia and even
leprosy. His system finds no more favor
with scientific conferes than did his first.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Among the bills
reported from the committees and placed
on the calendar was the House bill to au-
thorize the secretary of the interior to sub
nit to Congress proposals for the sale Of the
western part OF the Crow Indian reserva-

The House bill for the admission of Wv

Arkansas, addressed the Senate and de-
clared himself in favor OF the admission of
Wyoming and all other territories except
Utah, when they had sufficient population and
sufficient wealth to justify the assumption
of state government. but he was unwilling
to see Wyoming admitted in the way now
proposed and proceeded to state his reason
why. In his opinion the passage of the
pending bill would be exceedingly unwise.
There was no authority for holding a
constitutional convention, Jones said. and
he opposed the participation of women in
the vote on the constitution. He opposed
the constitutional provisions for woman
suffrage; for holding real estate by aliens.

sion Jones declared himself in favor of
passing an enabling act for all the terri
tories except Utah, and admitting them as
states after they had complied with the
provisions Of the act, and he moved as a
substitute for the pending bill one for such
enabling act. In the further course of his
arguments Jones referred to the wives of

two dollars for a shampoon Mr.. MarUin

and he discharged Sturm. With the help
of Gebhardt and friends Sturm opened q

angry before, he was in worse temper

recollecting that Freddie owed an account
