The half Cent.

The bargain counter of the depart ment store, which has been fought over by women for the past decade, and which has houriShed despite the united efforts of the come artist and | tie joke writer is receiving official recognition as an American institu- uan. It's influence has dictated a bill which is to be submitted to Congress authorizing the coining and circula- ticn throughout the United States of half cent pieces.
 Did you ever see a half cent piece: Did you ever hear of one;
 The Republic has made diligent efforts to lind a St. Louis man or woman who ever bought anything with one. without avail.
 Yet there was time when half-cent coins were in daily circulation in the United States. The first coinage bill passed by Congress provided for their issue. ThIs bill was passed on April ,, l792, and signed by President Wash ington. II fixed the weight of the piece at l32 grains and provided that il be made of copper.
 On January II, l793. the weight of the coin was reduced to l04 grains, by act of Congress, and on January 26, l796, it was further reduced to s4 grains, by proclamation of President Washington. It remained at this standard until February 2l, 1857, when further coinage of half-cent pieces was forbidden by Congress St Louis Re public.

Life in Washington.

The city of Washington. where are brought together the new rich. sue cessful politicians and the foreign dip lomatS, is roaring caldrOn If social enmities. says the Mexican Herald
 Every trife is magnified, and the world of Washington, outside of the large Senegambian population, is torn daily by new auarrels. "Turkeycock' Ambassadors strut about in a high rage, ladies of the legations are regis tering snubs and afrrontS, and the smart set from New York is rutlled by sights whenever it deigns to visit the national capital. Plutocratic Snobs and snobbesses are yeXed at diplomats
 and the latter cordially detest them and would treat them the more rigOr- ously were there not expectations of hospitalitieS to come to Newport, Bar IIarb0r and LenoX, for the diplomat enjoys good dinners and loves 10 lin- ger where high priced chefs are ems ployed. Washington huStesSeS are angered by the exhibition of prefer ence indiscreetly shown by the young members of the corps diplomatique for the rich women of the smart set of New York, who entertain lavishly and with splendor unknown to the dowagers of Washington. And so it goes in the social world of the newer America which waXes fat on oIl and steel copper and packing food pro- ducts. The ideals of the great demo- cratic Republic, and the reign of equality and a wholesome simplicity, have vanished in these high imperial days of great fortunes, social swagger and university presidents trailed at the coat-tails of the trust magnateS.

The philosopnx of sneezing.

Why do you say, tod bless you'
 when l sneeze. grandma?', asks the child of today; and, as grandma does
 not know, grandpapn will possibly
 mutter to himself: "Ha. that's one of the questions that children may ask, and the men cannot answer. The Jew
 ish rabbis of old, whose opinions on matters of this kind must be accepted unhesitatingly, as no one else of any importance appears to have been look ing on at the creation of the world, say that when Adam and Eve sinned it was
 enacted that mans death was to be sud den, ending unexpectedly in sneeze, induced probably by the sweat of his brow being checked by n chill. But Jacob, set back, presumably, in the history of the world few ages, saw this terrible state of affairs and wres- tied with the angel over the poin t whether men should fall tU piece s when they sueezed. He gained the victory. but the angel made n condi- tion with him that the sneeze snould only prove mortal when those who stood by omitted to say the words Good bless you" IL 50 happened afterwards that Jacob sneeaed one day
 when there was nobody by to say the words, and the result was that he grew ill and died lingering death, a thing unknown in thr good old death-by- sneezing days Ever since then, fear ing the sneeze. as sign of not sudden death, but of approaching disease, men never omitted the salutation of God

 Under the law san Juan is made the capital of the island. Ii is there that the Governor will reside during his four-year term. The Executive Council is also appointed for four years. The members of the council are the Secretary of the Cabinet, the Auditor, the Attorney General, the Treasurer, the Commissioner of the Interior. the Commissioner of Educa. tion and five others making eleven in all The five others who will have no ministerial functions, may be citi. zens of Puerto Rico,
 It is in the Governor Cabinet ano Council, that the power of the President lies. The people them selves elect the lower branch of the legislature.
 Any native Porto Rican can be elected to this branch of the Govern ment, provided he has property Co the value of sl00 and can read and write either the English or Spanish Ian guage. The island is divided into seven districts, so that five Delegates shall be elected from each. Unlike the Council, these legislators serve only two wears They can take the iniative in legislation and pass such bills as they please. All measures, however. have to pass the Council and be approved by the Governor before they become laws, 50 1t is easy to see that the power of the Porto RicanS themselves amounts tO very little when opposed by the power of the President.
