PROFIT IN GOOD CENTS.
Make Good Margin ON Gem

To pass counterfeit $1,000 bill is
an extremely difficult undertaking,
because the very size of Il invites close
but counterfeit cents will
pass about as fast as YOU hand them
out, even in banks. under the eyes Of
experts, for their insignificant size dis
arms suspicion. This fact is being
very strongly impressed on the Off
GERS of the national Subtreasury. who
are now in receipt of an immense mum
Der Of these humble little counter
feits, says the Chicago Tribune.
About 500 of these little bogus coins
are arriving at the subtreasury daily,
and the April report shows that l3,16s
counterfeit cents were received out
Of total of 373,s7O; yet the secret
service men are not able to locate the
counterfeiters. 1t is found that the
counterfeit cents are growing more
and more like the genuine ones, as
practice is making perfect, and it is
often with difficulty that they are dis
tinguished.
A strange feature of the business is
that the bogus cents are intrinsically
worth as much as the genuine ones.
They have the right quantity and
quality of metal in them, bear the
proper image and superscription, and
yet represent only II cents, in value,

coins, struck at the United States
mint, are legal tender for 81 1.2O The

THE LION AND THE MIRROR.
King of Bensts Frightened by His
Reflection In small Piece of
Glass in boys Hands

Possibly a lions wife would appre-
slate a looking glass, but a small mir
ror in the hands of small boy so
frightened and. excited Big Ben, the
largest lion in the Philadelphia ZOO,
that, says the Press, the keepers
feared he would do violence to him
self.
Ben had been in an angry mood all
day. The presence Of the small boy
was particularly distasteful to him,
and the lion ragged and stormed as only
a big lion can. The lad waited until
the TRADE was over, and then drew a
hand mirror from under his coat and
held it directly i'm front Of Ben.
The lion looked. Then he jumped
for the intruder that dared face him
in such a fashion. but brought up
against the bars with force enough to
throw him to the floor. Surprised at
the appearance of he lion in the glass,
he filed the house with his roars. The
keepers ran to the cage and endeav-
ored to quiet him. but he continued
the uproar until exhausted.
In the meantime the adventurous
N'"'H H'' ulNd pptdItu anu WIS ulS-
covered in front Of the wolves cage
trying TO excite them. lie was led
from the garden and warned to keep
| away.
About a year ago a serious disturb
ance at the 700 was due to the fla sh-
ing Of a mirror in front of the lions
den. At that time the lions. with the
exception Of one or two Of the widest,
were kept in one cage.
a visitor held mirror in front Of
them one afternoon, and the beasts
were thrown into panic. They fought
and dashed at the bars with such vio-
lencc that ii was feared several would
| die as n result of their frantic strug-
giles. II required the efforts of all the
keepers for several hours before they
could be quieted.

The casual everyday accomplish

not be what is rather vulgarly de-

must understand and be familiar
with the myriad little usagcs that
form society's unwritten law To be
at ease in any set, to be equal to
emergencies, to carry oil an awkward
situation with urbnnity and perfect
Sclf-posscSsi ion--this faculty wins un-
stinted admiration from woman.
And then there are the things that

passed through an experience this
morning full Of the greatest peril, AMI
from which he barely escaped with his
life. In all probability in his maturer
years he will never come SO near death
and escape from it.
A runaway horse, mad with fear, and
plunging wildly down an alley whers:
the baby peacefully reposed in his little
carriage, ran over the infant, smashing
the carriage and hurting the infant into
the dust. That the child was not killed
instantly, and mangled in a horrifying
manner, Is a miraculous part of the
story.
AS it was, the infant, who is wee
fellow, and looked like death after the
accident, from the loss of blood. was
seriously injured. His forehead was
laid open with a deep cash; the skull
where this wound was made was badly
bruised and his right eye was hurt.
The infant was dressed in loose
gown, and the elbow Of one sleeve Of
the latter was saturated with blood.
