Where Pennies Are Coined.

1t is not generally known that all
the minor coins of Ia,e metal,
such as pennies aud nickels, are
made at the Philadelphia mint, and
that nearly 1OO,OOO,OOO pennies are
coined here every. This large
number is occasioned by the fact
that thousands of pennies are lost
annually, and the government has
difficulty in maintaining a supply.
The profit of the government on
their manufacture is large. The
blanks for making them are pur-
chased for 81 a thousand from a
Cincinnati firm that produces them
by contract. Blanks for nickels
are obtained in the same way, cost
ing Uncle Sam only cent and a
half apiece.
Gold is coined in Philadelphia
and San Francisco. Not enough
of it comes into the mint at New
Orleans to make the coinage of it
worth while. Gold pieces are the
only coins of the United States
which are worth their face value
intrinsically. A double eagle con-
tains 500 worth of gold without
counting the one-tenth part copper.

CRIMINAL LAWYER
An Eloquent Defense of That
Much Abused Practitioner.
RIGHTS OF ACCUSED PERSONS.

Governor johnson Considers the Calling
of the Criminal Lawyer Rather Higher
Than That Of the Civil Practitioner.
Some Popular Errors and Prejudices.
At n recent meeting Of the ST. Louis Po-
litical Science club ex- Governor Charles P.
johnson made an able and eloquent de-
fense of the criminal lawyer, of which tho
following is O condensation:
The prejudice that exists In the minds
Of many against the criminal lawyer arises
out Of tho character and methods of some
individual practitioners and as applicable
to tho criminal law or the criminal lawyer
as q class of the legal profession Is unrea-
sonable and unjust There IS no branch
in any of the great professions, if honestly
pursued, but Is respectable, and in which
honorable distinction can be attained.
Still, though L do not desire to draw any
invidious comparison, 1t seems tc me there
Is moro reason for prejudice against the
civil than the criminal lawyer. The civil
lawyer today fights for dollars and cents,
and while the rights Of property may be
very sacred the rights Of individual liberty
are much moro so. The result of civil
lawsuit has little to do, as q rule, with the
happiness, welfare and fate Of a family.
The result Of a criminal case may bring
disaster upon not only the accused, but
ruin, degradation and disgrace upon all
those connected with him. -,
There are a limited number of born
criminals. They arc rarely the subject Of
defense by the criminal lawyer. There is
little in their lives or their being upon
which to base rational defense. They are
what are called professionals, " or abnors
mally criminal; but, If you will examine
the records Of the criminal courts, out of a
hundred men charged with crime, you
will not find tenth of this character.
The mass Of humanity charged with
crimes against the state belong to differ
ent order Of men. The bulk Of the crimi-
hal classes are those who come within the
rule: Of their act being a simple affair Of
yielding to an evil impulse or vicious

GOOD FOR EVERYBODY

Almost everybody takes some laxative
medicine to cleanse the system and keep the
blood pure. Those who take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR liquid or powder}
get all the benefits of mild and pleasant
laxative and tonic that purifes the blood
and strengthens the whole system. And
more than this: SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR regulates the Liver, keeps it actiys
and healthy, and when the Liver Is IN
good condition you find yourself free from
Malaria, Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick
Headache and Constipation, and rid Of
that worn out and debiltated feeling.
These are all caused by sluggish Liver.
Good digestion and freedom from stomach
troubles will only be had when the liver
Is properly at work. If troubled with any
of these complaints, try SIMMONS LIVER

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when the languid exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid. and
sluggish and the need of tonic and alter
ative is felt. A prompt uso of this medi-
cine has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and freeing
the system from the malarial poison. Head

A Race Of Ieft.hapded People.

may be hereditary 1t is quite pos
sible that race Of left handed people
may have been developed, although
statements as to the existence OF
preponderence Of left handed individ- /
uals ID various parts OF the world /
have not been ferified. Various
theories to account for righ
'handedness have b cen advanced. It
if we'll known thatl each side Of the
brain is connected mainly with the
movements and sensations OF the
opposite side Of the rodv, and DIR. L.
A. Lundie. al English physician.
gives reasons for believing that the
real cause of right handedness is
kind Of left brainedness. When the
power of speech is lost, 1t IS found
that a portion of one side OF the
brain only is affected. From this 1t
appears that the faculty Of speech
rests in on organ Of the left brain
| calle d-after it's discovercr-Broca's S
convolution, but when the mental
faculties have not been otherwise ln-
jured, it has proven to be possible
to restore speech by educating the
portion Of the right brain correspond
ing to Broca's convolution. The nor
mally active speech centre, however, Is
not always on the left side. In some
individuals it is the right side of the
brain that has been educated fol
speech, and singular fact is tha
such persons are lcft-handed. DR.
Lundie finds it practically useless t
combat strong tendency to lett
