Cracked silver Coins. ~~~~

The stamping machines at the gov
eminent minis, embodying as they do
all the best inventions obtainable, yet
do not do their work with absolute per-
lection in every instance. Occasionally
silver dollar is turned out with q
trifling defect, and then the coin gcner-
ally causes more trouble, many times
over, than it is worth. This imperf C.
ton is slight crack in the edge of the
coin, which is likely to escape the no
tice of any ordinary scrutiny, but like
the rift in the Lutte Of which the poet
sings, it makes the dollars music mrste.
The commonest way to test 4 silver
coin to find out whether it is counter
felt or not is to drop il on a table or
counter. If it. has q clear ring it is sup
posed to be good As a matter of fact,
some counterfeit coins now current,
which are made of anthony and tin,
have a sound almost identical with that
of real silver dollar. What makes this
test still more uncertain is the fact that
real silver dollar with the little rift
sounds as if it were lead when dropped.
The opening destroys its jingle just as
a crack ruins the righteousness of a
bell,-N. Y. Tribune

The Punishment Inflicted Upon Persist
ent Rum Seller.
A man of fifty years of age has been
sentenced to sixty-three years impris-
onment for selling liquor, being con-
yicted on 723 out of 900 indictments.
That sounds like law in some other
country than this, hut it is what has
happened to G. f. kibling, citizen of
Norwich, Vt, little hamlet just across
the river from Hanover, the seat of Dart
mouth College.
Every college graduate for the last
twenty years at least knows "kib, for
he has dcfed the law and the prophets
as exemplited by the august faculty of
the college, and has supplied the ardent
more or less surreptitiously to all the
students who chose to call on him.
Its quality has been terrible, its cost
far from moderate, yet it was liquor,
and that was enough. Time and time
again has the faculty nailed him.
Countless times has the victim appeared
in court and penitently taken oath not
to sell again.
He has even signed documents prom
ising TO keep the students dry which
would be posted upon the college bull
letin board for the Gelcctation and
guidance of the boys, who on
that promise were allowed to
get their meals at his hotel, for

The State of Vermont. as is well
known, has vigorous prohi5itory law

HIS son, true to his early training,
promptly turned States evidence

AN AFTERNOON GOWN.

A Neat and Tidy Wrap for Home Wear.
A pretty and well-made dress for re-
ceiving guests on ones day ut home is
of black peau de sole brocaded with
pink Pompadour bouquets, with the
upper part of the bodice and the sleeves
of pink bengaline studded with jet.
The round high bodice with edges
slipped under the trimmed top of the
skirt has the back laid in two small
folds from the shoulders to the middle
of the waist line, and the sides fitted by
under-arm forms. The front is a corse-
let cut in three sharp points at the top,
edged with narrow jet gimp, and fast
ened on the left side Above the corselet
is seen full w aist gathered ON the
shoulders made of ADse-pink, bengaline,
with a small faring collar of pointed
jet gimp. through which inch-wide pink
satin ribbon is drawn and knOtted in d
bow at the throat: frill of black lace
stands inside this collar. The large
tapering long wristed sleeves of pink
bengaline are dotted in diamonds at in
tervals of two inches, with faceted jet
nail-he ads fiat at the back, and sewed
on with strong linen thread. The cuffs
are of the pointed jet gimp, with rib
bons run through and tied in bows.
The skirt of six straight breadths of the
brocade lies five in ches on the floor in
the back. The three front and side
breadths are trimmed at the foot with
a ruffle of black surah edged with lace,
showing an under ruffle of pink benga-
line, and headed by band of pink satin
ribbon overlaid with open jet gimp.
These three breadths are kept separate
from the foundation skirt at the top,
and are passed over the edge of the
bodice, making it round waist; they
are gored (by small darts) to the size of
the waist, are trimmed with the pointed
jet gimp, then laid in cross plaits at the
back, and hooked there to meet in the
middle. The middle back breadth and
half of the breadth each side of it are
gathered at the top to little band only
three inches long, and are hooked at
each end of the belt of the lower skirt.
Each of the remaining half-breadths on
the sides is gathered in n pointed puff,
and provided with hook to meet an
eye set on the bodice above it.-Harper' S

The Shah as m Artist.

The Shah of Persia is a fair draughts-

IN order to perpetuate landscape, a

wishes to visit Europe once more. and
he has expressed his intention of visit

however, no one seems to believe in this

KING ALCOHOL.


Eleven Million Gallons Consumed in this
Country In One Year.
The Census Office has issued census
bulletin No. %, which embodies the
preliminary report on the quantity of
distilled spirits consumed in the arts,
manufactures and medicines in the
United States during the year ended
Dec. 81, 1889.
The report shows that the total
amount of all forms of distilled spirits
consumed by wholesale druggists and
manufacturers, eleemosynary institu-
tons and retail apothecaries amounted
to 1O,97G.S42 proof gallons. This report
is the first ever made that was at al!
trustworthy, as previous reports of the
same nature were merely estimates
made by various persons, based upon
such miscellaneous information on the
subject as could easily be secured.
Census schedules to the number of
400, 900 were sent to all the druggists
wholesale and retail, manufacturing
concerns using distilled spirits, hos
pitfalls, dispensatories, asylums and
other institutions Of like nature in the
United States, so that the vast number
of detailed statements returned TO the
census Office enabled the special agents
to secure accurate and interesting in
forRatiop.
OF the total number of gallons of dis
titled spirits consumed in the United
States in 1859, 6,745, 152 gallons We're of
alcohol, 2,O29, 900 gallons of whisky,
1,453,04S gallons of cologne spirits,
288,374 gallons of brandy, 222,295 gal
Ions of gin, 1S9,5S gallons of rum and
1892 gallons of highwines, making the
total consumption 10.976,S42 gallons.
Cologne spirits is used for many pur-
poses for which alcohol, ON account. of
containing certain impurities would be
unsuitable. This is particularly true in
relation to the preparation of a large
number of fine chemicals Whisky.
brandy, rum and gin are likewise used
in the manufacture of proprietary med
icineS and contain pharmaceutical
preparations, tinctures and medicinal
wines

1t appears that alcohol, as such lin

by certain foreign elements 1t is

trade furnish the information that fully

these foreigners. Competent authori-
ties in New York City estimate that
about fifteen barrels of pure alcohol

poses in the coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania and other sections, and very
considerable quantity finds its way to
the low grogshops of the country,
where it is compounded into low-grade
whisky and retailed over the bar.
The returns sent in from all the vari-
GUS sources of information sought by
the census office have been compiled
into various tables, and show that out
of the aggregate 10,9I6.S+3 gallons of
distilled spirits consumed during 1880,
the wholesale druggists and manufac-
turers used 7.966,6lO gallons, the clee-
moSynary institutions used 1O2, 100 gal
Ions and the retail druggists used =, 9O5,-
Alp gallons.
In all the interests and spirits COM
bincd New York led the States with
1,TG0, 343 gallons, closely followed by
Illinois, which is credited with using
1906, 322 gallons; Pennsylvania is third
on the list with t. La, 941 gallons: Missou-
ri comes fourth with 1,07l ,O6s gallons,
barely leading Massachusetts, which
took care of LOIS, $50 gallons all these
figures representing proof gallons.
The eleemosynary institutions of the
country consumed 2.327 ordinary gal
Ions of cologne spirits, and of this
amount the District of Columbia used
1,433 gallons.
In view of the fact that the retail
druggists are often accused of selling
whisky, brandy, rum and gin rs bcver-
ages, the table devoted to the retail
apothecarieS is especially interesting.

A saloon-Eecper's Idea.

An American barkeeper, who wants
TO sell out his place, has lit upon a
novel idea for doing it. Here's his idea:
To every person who buys, check will
be given the amount of his purchase.
When five dollars worth of checks are
gotten they can be returned and a
ticket will be given him. Then, at the
end of given time, say two or three
months, the present proprietor will re-
sign and the bar-room, with all its con-
tents, turned over to the holders of
these tickets. These can then settle it
among themselves as to which one is
the owner. They can then rattle for it
or do what they please with it. 1t viii
be theirs jointly. and they can settle it
it in any way they desire as to who is
TO have it.-Albany Argus.

"Night-Caps" and Eye-Openers."


Both the 'night-cap' and the eye
opener are evils said local physi-
clan, recently, but between the two,
if one must be chosen, take the night
cap When a man gets to drinking
early in the morning as regular GUS
tom he is pretty far gone. A drink be-
fore breakfast is a pretty certain indi-
cation of half-dozen others be-
fore shutdown. The effect of a morn
ing drink wears off very shortly, leav-
ing the drinker collapsed just at time
when he is busiest at work, and it is
natural for him to drink again to brace
himself up. At night, however, while
he sleeps nature repairs the damage, or
part of it. which he has done by soak
ing his stomach with alcohol. If a man
must drink he ought to have sense
enough to steer clear of the 'eye-open-

ers and is the hardest to tear loose

APPROPRIATIONS.

Mr.. sayers and the Clerk of the House
Make Estimates on the Total ApPrOPria-
tions by Congress - Either Estimate
Heavy Enough.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Mr. Sayers,
of Texas, of the democratic minority of
the house appropriation committee,
has prepared a statement of the ap-
preparations during the past congress,
as compared with the appropriations
during the fftieth congress, which
shows that the total appropriations
during the congress Just closed were
81, COG, $40, Al, against SSH, 1868, $50 dur
ing the preceding congress. These
amounts include the permanent
annual appropriations. The total APP
preparations for the first session of
the Fiftieth congress were 1922, 626, 34S,
and for the second session 1895, 337, $40,
and for the first session of the Fifty
first congress S464, 442, $40, and for the
second session S541, S27, ca, to which Mr..
Sayers' estimates-SS5, 0OO-shOuld be
added for various small items. Included
in the appropriations for the Fifity-first
congress are So, z2Z, 600 for the refund
of the direct tax and SO, GOO 600 for
sugar bOunties, the latter being in
cluded among the permanent annual
appropriations
The following is an approximate
estimate prepared by the clerk of the
senate committee on representations:
Amount of regular bills, including de-
6ciencies and miscellaneous apprOpria-
tons, S361, ZOO, 900; amount of regular

priations for the first session, about
S1O1, OO0. 600, and permanent aPprOpria-
tions for 1Ss estimated S122, 600, 600.
This makes a grand total of S9S9, 600, coo.
