CENTS ARE LEGAL TENDER.


In Amounts of twenty-five or Under They
Will Go Anywhere In This Country.
There is one story so utterly ridiculous
that it seems incredible that 1t should ever
have been printed, which in ono form or
another makes the rounds of various news
papers of the country annually Look for
It, and you will sooner or later sec 1t crop
up again.
This tale is always based upon the IN
popularity of the cent pieces in the ex-
IRENE west and southwest. In its most
common form it tells of some eastern trav-
eler who attempts to dispose of hundred
or SO cent pieces in San Francisco, Ell
Paso or some other place. The tradesman
is always represented as looking at them
curiously and declining them.
The writers of these senseless tales may
have been in the west, or they may not
1t matters little Their story Is pointless.
They seek to brand the mythical trades
man as Of the same category with them
selves.
The cent is legal tender in amounts of
25 and less If an eastern man in San
Francisco or anywhere else owes debt of
25 cents and tenders 25 cent pieces in
settlement, the courts will sustain him.

the extreme west and south, but no one
need carry hundred of them in cigar
box or anywhere else as useless metal. If
you are In city that has not United
States subtreasury, go to the postoffice,
dump in 25 cents and see If you will have
any difficulty in obtaining stamps or pos
tai cards of like amount. If one is refused,
a letter of complaint to the postal authori-
ties will soon work the removal of an An-
ployee who would discredit United States
money.
1t is well to bear this matter of the legal
tender of a cent In mind. No one for
spite can make a person take more than 25
of them in any single transaction involv.
ing the settlement Of debt. One need
have no fear then of receiving 800 in cents
from some imbittered debtor.-New York

CHICKENS IN PARTS.



Butchers Tell Why Custom Common In
Paris Cannot Prevail Here.
From time to time squibs have appeared
in the public prints lamenting the fact
that those who do light housekeeping, and
especially those women who are occupied
during the day, cannot, like their Paris
prototypes, buy of the butchers in New
York small pieces of game or portions of
unlocked fowls. In order to get at the
reason why such convenient custom
prevails among the workmen of Paris and
does not here, a reporter visited Washing
ton market in'search of information on
the subject. "Why, bless you," said one
of the old time and best known butchers
there, you must know that the social
conditions are SO very different in Paris
from New York. In Paris there are thou
sands of women and young girls who live
in lodgings alone by themselves and who
directly buy their own food from the
marketmen and cook it in their rooms
Having no one to divide their meals WITH
they naturally desire TO purchase only
small portions of meat at time, for fear
if kept it will spoil, and then you know
their purses are very slim, over there
That's why they sell small bits Of meat
and game in Paris. :,
''In New York most all the women en-
ployed in business live at home with their
parents or in boarding houses, where they
also take table board. There's not a hand
full of them in the whole town who live in
lodgings and who prepare and cook their
own meals They never think Of such a
thing. If they do not cat in the house
where they sleep, they go to some cheap
restaurant. No, there is no demand for
small portions of meat and game in New
York. AS said before, thu social condi-
lions are SO different. New York World

Ocean and Railroad Freight.

Few people realize the extraordina-
ny difference between ocean tariffs and
railroad rates, or what an extent the
opening of the Manchester ship canal
will reduce the cost of transportation
of Manchester from this country.
Published rates show that grain is now
carried eight thousand miles at the
same rate for the entire distance as is
charged by the railroads for the hours
journey between Liverpool and Man
chester, while the published rates be-
tween Liverpool and London are equal
to l4,000-mile tariff at sea. This is
not suggesting that the English rates
are very much higher than those
charg, d in this country, for it is a
well know fact that the river and rail
road rates here differ so greatly that
percentage can scarcely be calculated.

Peculiarities in Massage.

Light friction of a part reduces sur
face temperature. In ten experiments
on healthy adults, whose armpit tenn
perature on both sides was equal, and
whose free surface temperature on the
surface of both forearms was before
massage SO degrees F. or more, it was
found, on subjecting the left forearm
to gentle upward friction, that while
the temperature in both armpits and
in the untouched free surface Of the
opposite limb remained constant, the
temperature of the left forearm fell in
all cases more than two degrees and in
three cases nearly four degrees.
After firm friction, rolling, squeez-
ing and kneading of the skin of the
limb in all cases, the free cutaneous
temperature rose toss degrees, but the
armpit temperature remained the same
on both sides, while in seven cases an
interesting phenomenon was noticed
on the opposite side-yiz, the right
limb sensibly perspired and the free
surface temperature of the untouched
forearm fell to 81 degrees during the
time that the firm friction Of the left
limb was in progress. In regard to
light friction it has been impossible to
detect any effect on the patients sente
of locality or on the temperature
sense. After firm friction of part
for five minutes comes a decided in
crease of the sense Of touch, and the
sense Of locality has in most instances
been apparently unprecedented

The fantastic and somewhat gro
tesque humor of the Thirteen Club, Of
New York, expended itself recently at
a dinner which was intended to assist
in giving the finishing stroke to the
superstitious notions which still linger
about the world from the days of our
ancestors. Everything was done by
theclub to challenge, defy andridicule
the current superstitions. The mem
bers and their friends dined in thir-
teens, walked under ladders, split salt,
crossed knives, had lamps in plaster
skulls and did many other curious and
absurd things at which many simple
people still tremble in these days.
