MarcariO Gonzales had an exam.
lining trial before Justice Anton
Adam this morning. He was

went to the Salado and when they

and dried grasses lay on the floor among

lay on the centre table, dangerously near
the student lamp. The dust-pan reposed
upon the mantelpiece between Aunt

Cut the Pennies In Tv9.

How many collectors of coins know
anything about the curious half pence
issued centuries ago by English authori,
ties, half-rence in the truest sense of the
words, since they were nothing more
than minted pennies cut directly in halfa
Specimens of these coins have been dis
covered frequently among the buried
treasures which from time to time have
been unearthed in Great Britain. In
Lancashire in 1910 were found a rare lot
of coins, among which were several
pennies of the time CT Alfred and Ed
ward divided in this way.
Similarly divided pence of the time of
Edward the Confessor have been found,
and in speaking of the discovery in
1888 Of a number of these curious halt
pence of the time of William the Con.
queror, an unquestioned authority states
that they were probably issued from the
minis in that form, since the whole col
lection had evidently been in circula-
ton.
In the British Museum in London are
specimens of these divided coins issued
under various monarchs from Alfred to
Henry H., with the latter of whom the
custom ceased. An eminent Archaeological
accounts for the divided coins by saying
that this doubtless arose from the scarcity
of small change, which was in part
remedied under the reign of Edward l.
by the coinage of half-pence and farth-
iDgs.--Chicago Tribune.

The waking OF Scissors.

Though no complexities are involved
in the making of scissors, or much skill
required, yet the process of manufacture
is very interesting. They are forged
from good bar steel heated to redness,
each blade being cut off with sufficient
metal to form the shank, or that ,des-
tined to become the cutting part and
bow, or that which lateaf ON Is fashioned
into the holding portion. Is For the bow
a small hole is punched, and this is
afterward expanded to the required size
by hammering it or a conical anvil, after
which both shank and bow are filed into
a more perfect shape and the hole borel
in the middle for the rivet. The blades
are next ground and the handles made
smooth and FURNISHED with oil and
emery, after which the pairs are fitted
together and tested as to their easy
working. They are not yet finished,
however. They have to uu 1er5o hard,
ening and tempering and be again ad-
iusted, after which they are finally put
together again and polished for the
third time. In comparing the edges of
knives and scissors it will be noticed, of
course, that the latter are not in any
way so sharply ground IS the former,
and that, in cutting, sci&sors crush AMI
bruise more than knives. - Inventive

CHASTITY Vision in an Ocean storm.

According to q Sydney correspondent,
a letter has been received in the colony
from P. G.. Hart, mate of the 81 , Pee
bleshire, from which it appears tat the
vessel on her voyage home had | trying
experience, during which they passed a
wrecked vessel, on whose decks W re her
dead crew, probably twenty haa i. 1t
seems from she letter that when OF Cape
Horn the Peebleshire met with a hurri-
cane, during which it was not safe to
put a stitch of canvas on the vessel.
She was therefore hove to under bare
poles, in which state she driftei for some
hours. While being carried along thus
a wrecked ship was seen aud the PEBBLE
shire was taken quite close to her. To
the horror of those aboard the ship about
twenty dead bodies were seen on the
deck of the stranger, being washed about
by the seas which were sweeping over
the vessel. The sight was witnessed
under the light of a brilliant moon and
during the howl of the nutf.csae, wnica
made the experience as weird as could
be imagined. After a bit the wind
moderated and sail was set to a moderate
extent, and the Peebleshire was carried
away from her CHASTITY companion Pali

Utilizing Old Barrels.

The Standard Oil Company has over

where they are reftted by a large mum.
Der of coopers. :
The barrels are gathered up in sll'
parts of the Old World and brought
across the Atlantic to be used for fur
Their shipment. At the shops in this
country they are renewed with hoops
and broken slaves, and then glued and
filed with refined oil Tor the home mars
ket. Formerly second. hand barrels
were used the second time for exporsa
shipments, but in the last few years all
those that are brought back empty are
afterward used in the domestic trade.
There are now several large vessels
on the way across, loaded with empty
oil barrels. Besides these there are
thousands of secondhand barrels gath
cred up in all parts of this country. Some
are brought here and others are seat to
the refinery in Cleveland, but the bulk
is taken to the Eastern oil works.
The export as we'll as the import
transportation of refined oil is mostly all
in tank cars and in tank vessels over the
ocean. The transportation os the refined
oil from here is getting less every day.
The average is not more than 200 barrels
a day, and this is nearly all taken away
in bulk. All the new oil barrels that
are made around here are turned out al
the Workhouse and they are all taken to

Why Icelanders Emigrate.

The interior of Iceland is a bowling
waste of sand and ice, traversed by
darling glacial rivers, aud utterly in,
capable of supporting more than a few
scattered inhabitants. Grass is the only
considerable crop. The hills and the
valleys are t~reeless aud afford at best but
ycanty pasturage for horses, co vs. AMI
sheep. Roads and bridges scarcely ex-
tst. The backs of horses are the only
means OF transportation across country.
Small boats carry travellers over
dangerous rivers, while the horses swim
on ahead. Hardly anything that minis
ters to comfort, to say nothing of luxury,
is produced in Iceland. Every nail in aD
Iceland house, every pane of glass, every
bit of wooden flooring, every insignif
cant bit of furniture, has to be trans.
ported laboriously from n of the sea.
ports to its destination.
That the 70, 900 inhabitants of Iceland
are poor goes without saying. There is
little or no home market, for every Ice.
lander has the same products to sell as
his neighbor. Money circulation is small
and the farmer barters a certain number
of horses or sheep or rolls of dried fish
or bales of hay for a supply of groceries
and other necessaries of life. New York

Best Position for Healthy sleav.

A doctor writing in a medical paper
says SAN immense number of people
sleep on the left side, aud this is the
most common cause OF tie unpleasant
taste in the mouth in the morning, which
is generally attributed to ~dyspepsia. If
a meal has been taken within two OF
three hours of going to bed, to sleep Oh
the left side is to give the stomach d
task which is difficult in the extreme to
perform. The student Of anatomy knows
that all food enters and leaves the stomach
on the right side, and hence sleeping on
the left side soon after eating involves 8
sort of pumping operation which is any.
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also interfered
with considerably, and the lungs are un'
duly compressed. 1t is probable that
lying on the back is the most natural
position, but few men can rest easily so,
and hence it is best to cultivate the
habit of sleeping on the right sids."

It is the army of railroad employees,
