Heavy Demand for Pennies.

Ever since August last there has
been an exceedingly heavy demand on
the United States Treasury for one
cent pieces. This demand is not con-
fined to any one commercial centre, but
comes alike from all sections Of the
country. Treasury officials attribute
1t to the growing custom in dry-goods
establishments and other business
houses Of marking down prices from
round figures, which practice natur-
ally requires a good supply of pennies
for making change.
The Treasury Department is doing
its best to meet, the demand, and for
the last two months the mint az Phila-
.delphia has kept three presses con-
stantly in operation for. the. exclusive
coinage of one-cent pieces. The daily
OUTPUT has been 10000 pieces Of the
value of $500. The Government ap-
parently derives a profit Of $1,000 a
day on this coinage, the seigniorage be
ing at the rate of nearly 80 per cent
OF the face value of the coins. This
profit disappears, Of course, when the
coins are redeemed. 1t is estimated
that there are TS0,00O.O00 one-cent
nieces outstanding.

Crime Amona Animals.

Almost every form and variety of
human crime is TO be. found among
animals. Cases of theft are noticed
among bees. Bnehner, in his "Psy-
chic Life OF Animals spesks of thiev-
ish bees which. IN order to save them
selves the trouble Of working, attack
well-stocked hives n masses, kill the
sentinels and the inhabitants, rob the
hives, and carry of the provisions.
After repeated enterprises Of this de-
scription they acquire a taste for rob-
berry and violence; they recruit whole
companies which get more and more
numerous; and finally they form regu-
lar colonies Of brigan9-bees. But it is
still more curious fact that these
brigand-bees can be produced artif-
cially by giving working bees a mix
ture of honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire taste for this
beverage, which has the same disas-
trous effects upon them as upon men
, they become ill-disposed and irritable
and lose all desire to work; ancA fin
ally, when they begin to feel hungry
they attack and plumber the well-sup
piled hives There is one variety OF
bees-the Sphecodes-1which lives ex
elusively upon plumber. According L
Marchall, this variety is formed Of
individuals of the Halyetes species
whose organs of Notification were de
fectiye, and which have gradually de
veloped into separate variety, living
almost exclusively by plumber. The!
may thus be said to be an example o
innate and organic criminality among
insects, and they represent what Pro
fessor Lambroso cabs the born Grim
inals-that is, individuals which ar

If A QUEEN, WHY NOT A PHYsI
CLAN?

) The British Royal College Of Physi-
clans had lively debate over the pro-
position to admit women to the exam
nations and diplomas Of the college.
and then rejected it by a vote Of 50 to
80. Some Of the arguments for the
-opening wedge" were ingenious, Sir
BENJAMIN Richardson, for instance,
contending that when the college was
founded no woman had ruled over
England, but since then the nation had
had four queens. And If a woman
could be queen why could she not be
a physician? DR.. Payne said that the
women examined for degrees at the
University Of London ranked as high
as the men, and Sir William Broadbent
reminded the committee that since wo-
men were bound to become doctors
regardless of opposition. it would be
better for the public that they should
come under the jurisdiction Of the Col
Iege of Physicians.

Tn. Lion. Charge.


1 have heard a tigers charge de-
scribed as series of bounds, says a
writer in Scribner, but as have never
had. the distinction. of being charged
by one can give no opinion. From
lions have received the attention sew
.ereal times. On such occasions when
a yellow body, all muscle and bone,
and weighing some five hundred
pounds, is rushing into you with ire
mendous force, the mind is naturally
so intensely concentrated on ones
aim that it is not likely to take in de-
tails, and should be sorry to assert
positively that lion does not come at
one by leaps. But the impression
gathered from those exhilarating mo-
ments was that the lion ran In at me
with pounding action Of his paws
and at q great pace.

Clanton, of Monroe, Is the efficient
principal. He and his associates in
the work are greatly encouraged by the
liberal help and sympathy of the best
citizens of Monroe and vicinity.
The largest illicit distillery that has
come to light in Lincoln parish was
captured Thursday morning by posse
of United States officers, consisting of
Capt. ]. NJ. Martin, Messrs. Calvert,
Lizemore, Bernstein and Nichols.
Messrs. Martin and Bernstein came
over from Shreveport on freight train
Tuesday evening, and met the other
officers somewhere near here. The dis
tillery was consummated about s
O'Clock, end over 5000 gallons of mash,
a large quantity of cornmeal and the
liquor in the different stages were to-
tally destroyed. The outfit was re-
ported to have been complete in every
particular, and the proprietors were
enjoying a thrifty trade. The distillery
was about four miles southeast of Rus
ton, near the jackson parish line.
There is difference of opinion as to
whose land it was on. There is no
doubt, however, that it was the prop
erty of white man, but the only per-
sons present at the time of the raid
were two negroes, supposed to have
been in the employ of the owners.
Both of the negroes escaped. One OF
them was shot in the back and seriously
injured. Later, when he was caught
by the officers, he had changed his APP
pearance by shaving, and. when asked
why he was so bloody, claimed to have
been shot at negro frolic the night
before. Lincoln parish seems to- be
more than any other infected with
these moonshine stills. There bave
been over dozen captured here before,
bht in spite of the frequent successful
raids of the. United States .marshali
there seems to be plenty of white corr

Hot Water for the Face.

The hot water remedy is always the
best one for making the complexion
beautiful.
1t is very simple and equally safe,
two good points in its favor. If per-
sisted in blackheads will soon depart
and the complexion will assume the
pink and white appearance of a baby.
The hot water treatment should be. in
dulged in every night and morning.
At night the face should be bathed
II water as hot as one can stand and
then thoroughly rubbed with a good
cold cream. Be careful to use a cir
cular motion in rubbing.
In the morning the cream may be
omitted and the face first bathed in
very hot water and then dashed with
cold water. The diet should be watch
cd with care and much fruit should be
eaten. Grape fruit is specially noted
for its good effect upon the complex.

Largest Mirror In the World

The largest French plate-glass mir
ror ever brought TO this country, and,
according TO the importer. Jacques
Kahn, the largest mirror in the world,
has been set up in the dining-rpom Of
the new portion of the Hotel Savoy,
says the New York World. 1t took
two days and a night, with over score
of workmen, to get It from the steamer
to the hotel and to set it in place.
The dimensions of the mirror are
15S by 1853 inches. making about ia
square feet Of glass. 1t is nearly half
an inch thick. The glass alone weighs
900 pounds, and the combined weight
Of it and the case it came in was over
a ton. .s
The mirror is not only the largest
but the most expensive in the world,
its actual cost being ia the neighbor-
hood Of $1,000. The cost of manu-
featuring the one glass would have
been about $1,000. but five different
glasses had to be cast before this per
feet one was made. The expense OF
moving 1t was fully $500.
The package was so large that there
are but two steamships in commission
which could bring it across the ocean.
