the execution and spread the news Of

had an idea that when one Of them has

which had not been brought to light,

why Coins Are Cast.

The principal reason that coins are
struck and not cast is the well-known
fact that molten metals contract on
cooling. Thus counterfeit coins, which
are always cast, show fatal variations
in size, which authentic stamped coins
do not. Secondly. it is impossible to
get the same sharpness of delineation
as in stamping, and lastly, xasn the
stamping machine is once set up the
process Of striking coins is infinitely
cheaper and more rapid than that of
casting could ever be.-Cincinnati En-
quirer.

A new spefil seems ID threaten white
.meaf in South Africa. They are.in dam
ger Of being cut into love charms and
used to Increase the marriage rate
among the natives. The flesh of Eu-
ropean IS considered by the black in
habitants of Natal as charm powerful
enough to compel the love of any un-
willing maiden. When young black
man loves maiden and his love is not
reciprocated, he goes to witch doctor
and asks for love philter. Other
philters Of milder potency having
been tried and the maiden still remain
ing obdurate and refusing to love her
black suitor, the witch doctor, as last
resort, prescribes the flesh of white
man.
Murders committed for the posses
sion of the coveted white flesh, while
not common, occur from time to time.
News has been received from Natal Of
the hanging at Harding of witch doc
tor and his pupil for the murder of a
farmer named Kay The farmer was
dragged from his bed at night and, after
being stabbed several times with an
assegai, his throat was cut and his body
left on the veldt. Part Of the dead
mans neck was cut away, and subse-
quently found in the witch doctors

head devil' in the murder was a witch
doctor named Umtani. With him was
associated his.pupil, SibalweIi.
Sibalweni had not set taken his de-

INDIAN REVENUE.

The recent events in connection
with the culltctioD Of revenue due
the Cherokee nation az royalties
on hay. coal. cattle. merchandise,
etc., by the Unned States authori
ties opens an interesting series Of
problems When the Curtis bill
became a law the Indians natur-
ally ielt that great injustice had
been done them. in that their rev
enues were thereby cut of. and as
their laws could not be enforced
either in law OF in equity in the
courts, they were without remedy.
The righteousness of the course
being pursued by the interior de-
partmenl must certainly be con
ceded by all thoughtful and fair
minded people, both Indian and
white, throughout the country. H.
is an act OF good faith on the part
Of the government, and il is but
simple justice that the Indians
should not be deprived Of one sin
gle iota of their rights under the
laws and treaties in force in this
country at the time Of the passage
of the Curtis bill.
To assume that the Indians have
no right to the revenues due them
from the sale Of their hay. coal,
timber and the grazing Of their
lands. together with other taxes,
simply because their courts were
abolished, is unwarranted and
would be great injustice to the I
tribes.
AT the rate the taxes are now be.
ing collected aud placed to the
credit of the Cherckees, by the time
allotment comes the tribe will have
q handsome sum to their credit
1t may be many years-before thest
Indian nations are entirely abol-
ished and final settlement made
with them, and it is an encourag
ing sign to see the United States
showing good faith u
them inahe collection Of revenues
due them II may mean the be
ginning Of new and better era
for the Indian, who has been wont
TO believe himself a hopeless and
much abused party.

rhose whose Eears Arc WrougAt "
DnriHs the 1Dark scenesw
AZ the Play.

"Dark changes al the when
stage and auditorium are suddenly
wrapped in black darkness, while a
scene is changed--are greatly dreaded
by many women play-goers, who in
stantly become nervous till the lights
20 up again. II never have an instant's
peace" said a lady, speaking Of her
dread Of the incident, still the light is
| turned on again. Sometimes feel that

locating feeling and sometimes feel
as though should faint If didn't see
light somewhere. For heavens sake,
whoever introduced the idea, and why
in the world do they have those hor-
rid, awful, terrifying dark changes?"
The dark change" is not of very re-
/, cent origin, and is introduced to height
en- the dramatic effect of the play--to
prevent the audiences attention wan
dering from the story as told in one
scene till the thread is taken up in the
next. What the dramatist and man
ager always aim at is to gain and hold
the auditors attention, not to let it
wander, as it does during an entr' acte,
when the curtain goes down, the lights
go up and a buzz of conversation
springs up all over the house.
Try the theory on yourself Begin
to tell story. Let no interruption oc-
cur, and see what sort of hit you
make when you have to begin again
with: "As was saying" It's apt TO
be more like "As | wasn't saying" for
you'll find that the attention of your
audience has to be gained over again,
and the restarted story does not seem
like the same thing.
The dark change" prevents this.
What dim quiet there is in the audi
torium, with all eyes-though you can't
see them-riveted on the darkness into
which the stage vanished.
This is the theatrical why" of it,
but for the benefit of nervously inclined
women who get Q smothering feeling
when the lights 60 out and who repress
a desire to scream some words of COM
fort may be said.
Don't get scared when with sudden
click every one of the hundreds of cleo
trio lights goes out. Don't imagine that
the man who turned them off has gone
away and can't instantly relight the
house. With the turn of a single but
ton he has plunged the auditorium and
stage in darkness, but with another
turn of the button, on which he keeps
his hand, he can instantly fill the the
ater with blaze of light.
He stands in the proscenium arch,
just off the stage-the first exit"-and
never leaves his post. He keeps his
hand on the button and the attention
of eye and ear upon the house. If you
were to utter that repressed cry or
faint in half second the house would
be relighted, whether the stage was
set or not.
It's the business of 'the man at the
electric switchboard. to watch the
house narrowly. You needn't be ner-
vous
"But suppose screamed and the but
ton didn't workg' Miss Nervous says.
Don't scream. But if you did and the
button didn't work, shrouded gas jets,
Ut, are in the auditorium, and they are
-eady to at once make the place light
and discover you looking exceedingly
foolish.
Don't be afraid of sthe dark change"
