THE LIKENESS ON THE CENTS.

An Exception to the Rule Against POr-
traits ON American Coins.
New York Sun.
Coins OF most of the nations bear
upon them the face of their rulers. In
the United States each coin has an en-
blem of liberty. The first coins struck
after the formation of the Federal
Union bore the face of George Wash
ington. General Washington disap-
proved of the custom and ii was drop
ped. 1t has never been revived. Por-
traits of prominent Americans appear
upon postage stamps and paper money,
but never on coins. And 1t has been
ing men even on the currency and the
stamps
In England as soon as King Edward
succeeded Queen Victoria, the Queens
face gave way to that of Edward on
all the coins and stamps in the British
empire. The accession of a new ruler
in most monarchies means an instant
change in the design of the coins.
But there is an exception to the rule
of no portraits on American coins. The
emblem of Liberty on the 1~cent coin
is the goddess IN an American Indian
headdress, but the face shows no char
acteristies of the North American
aborigine 1t is the face of little
girl. Sarah Longacre Keen, upon whose
head was placed the feathered orria-

The Kansas wheat Harvest.


1t is our painful duty to announce
to eastern college students and others
who contemplate attending the wheat
harvest in Kansas that on account of
April it is likely that the usual boun-
tiful supply of cherry pies and cherry
bounce will be eliminated from the
harvesters menu this year. and 1t may
be that strawberry shortcake will have
to be limited to a small section per
capita. To compensate for this prtva-
tion, however, the fine apple crop last
fall assures an abundance of hard ci-
which will be served ad lib at noon
time and after supper. There will
also be plenty of foaming fresh but
termilk for those whose temperance
scruples preclude Indulgence in any
thing stronger. 1t is also barely pos
be embellished with roasted Chinese
pheasants, stuffed with Oklahoma pc
cans, and garnished with strips Of
Missouri bacon containing alternate
streaks of lean and fat. OF course, the
fried chicken, green peas, asparagus
and, custard pies will adorn the nlll or
fare as usual wherever hospitable
Kansas housewife presides over the
commissary department.
On the other hand. the late SHOWS
have assured a record breaking wheat
harvest, and abundant work at lib
Coburn declares that the last snow

A QUEER DECISION.

To the ordinary layman 1t lboks as
II the higher courts OF New York have
established a somewhat queer prece-
acts. In brief. the Court of Appeals
holds that "a prosecution for larceny
by false pretences cannot be sustained
where the person parting with tho
money or property does so for an ille-
gal purpose" Thus, as a contempt
court "a thief may provide himself a
safe defense by inducing his victim to
become a party to a violation of law.
Thus IL Brown induces Smith to trust
him with money to be used in gambling
and then Brown keeps it, no crime has
Smith may be prosecuted for attempt
ing to gamble"
This looks very much like hitting the
wrong man. If 1t is crime under
the laws Of New York to gamble. or to
advance money for gambling purposes,
we can understand how Smith may be
prosecuted. but although Brown really
SlOAo tlio AiOlCy taC ia" tOuSh
him. We can understand how Smith,
knowingly advancing money for an IL
legalspurpose. would be barred from
bringing civil suit against Brown
for the recovery Of the money, but we
are unable to see why Brown may not
be prosecuted for larceny. or for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenee.
without regard to any violation OF law
on the part of Smith. In other words,
q crime is crime. even when commit
ted by one criminal against another,
yet the courts of New York hold that
there is no law to punish the real
criminal in such a case. and can be
none until it is enacted by the Legis-
lature. Theye are some queer things
about law.

WOLVES AND FOXES IN WEST.
Reason For Prevalence of the For ne
On The CLAIMS,

Reason For Prevalence of the For ner
On The CLAIMS.
Kansas City Star.
Some Lamar fox hunters were dis
cussing the prevalence of wolves and
the decrease in the number of foxes
thereabout. This they explained east
ly.
In the first place. the wolf is strong,
hardy and a great breeder. A wolf
will begin to rear puppies when she is
a year old and there are from nine
to twelve in a litter. Usually every
puppy In the litter lives to be full
grown wolf Thus. the coyote as well
as the larger and more powerful gray
or black brethren multiply very rap
idly.
Then the wolf is not chased with
the zest and eagerness with which the
sportsmen go after Sir Reynard. The
ordinary fox dog won't go against a
wolf when he gets him at bay, and,
further. hounds that get into the habit
of chasing wolves can't tell the trail
of their quarry from that of the shep-
herd dog. The result is that every
farmer soon gets sore on O. bunch OF
hounds that are trained to hunt wolves
They are always cornering an inno-
cent farm dog and putting him to
death. thinking that they have run on
an easily VanQuished wolf.
"a fox" declared Mr.. Tlmmonds,
''on the other hand. is enc of the most
delicate animals in the world. In the
first place, he can't night. The very
moment dog catches him he gives up
and allows himself to be killed. Then
usually as much as fifty per cent. Sir
Reynard's only defense is his well
known slyness and intelligence.

also. has been prying into the mystic
ries OF life and death. and he comes
out with the assertion that old age IL
the very last thing a person should die
of. He says old age is disease which
can be cured, ana the cure for It is--
sour milk!
How does that strike the average
citixen7 and how can we bring about
harmony between these expert author
ities7 II Wiley is correct in saying
that no one should die except from old
age. and Mechnikoff is correct In say
can be cured. 1t win occur to the aver
age citizen that If these two wise men
will work together there will be no
need OF "cashing in" at ali---and then
how long would earth contain and
maintain the people? Nautilus and his
predictions would be more than justi-
fed.
This latest authority has discovered
that In the mountainous regions Of
Bulgaria the people live to q much
greater age than they do elsewhere.
Looking into this matter he found. or
believes he found, that their unusual
longevity was due to their liberal use
of sour milk. Then he goes into some
what elaborate explanations of the
kind OF milk to be used, how It is to
be prepared and taken, and all about It.
He tells us of the germs and microbes
that induce disease and old age. and
that these little pests love sour, milk
beyond all other food or drink; conse-
quently, IL they can be literally sup
piled with that they will stick to It
and not feed on human life.
All that is simple as rumoring down
stairs. you observe. ana between Wiley
and Mechnikoff the way seems open to
indefinite prolongation Of life on earth.
Yet we are compelled to admit that
there are serious difficulties in the way
Of carrying it out Not all can get the
sour milk of the right brand or in suf-
ficient quantities. and there are many
who would not drink 1t II they had
fountain of the genuine stuff. In short,
there are so many and varied reasons
why the theories and instructions Of
the learned professors cannot be ad-
hered to that we may reconcile our
selves to the stern fact that death will
continue to reap his harvest from
among the sons and daughters Of men
in spite OF all the doctors and scien-
lists on earth. still. 1t is matter OF
satisfaction to know that the average
span of life Is increasing and that there
are those who teach us that we can
prolong 1t indefinitely IL we will go
about 1T in the right way and stick to

4 CANDIDATES FROM THE SOUTH.

A CANDIDATE FROM THE SOUTH.
The Advertiser had occasion several
months ago to suggest II the National
Democratic ce.ses..e: az next year
should decide to turn to the South for
. candidate. there Is Texas states
man. Alabama born. who would adj
mirably meet all requirements. Our
suggestion Of Senator Culberson's
name met q wide and hearty response
from the press of the Union. Much Of
the comment, 1t is true. sounded as II
our contemporaries were playing with
the subject; as II they had small idea
that Southern man could be elected
IL nominated; that prejudices remain
too strong at the North. This we fear
Is true. The nomination of a South
ern man would probably produce
loud cutlery against rebels" ana mig
ger-drivers." and the war would be
fought over again on paper.
To distrust the North In this matter
is we know offensive to many of the
best people there. They profess entire
Willingness to let by-gones be by
a
cones and try to work together for
the common good of the country; and
they are unquestionably sincere in
these professions. They make 1t cer-
tain that Southern candidate for the
Presidency would receive large sem
timental vote at the North, good men
proving they wanted reunited coun-
tryFtn fact and not merely as matter
of pretense. What they forget in our
opinion Is that huge inert mass of vot-
ers at the North. back country farm
ers. who are still besieging yicksburg
or defending Cemetery Ridge at Gettys-
burg. A national convention would be
bound to keep this class in mind in
putting out a candidate.
The discussion OF a possible South
ern candidate, however. has done good
There has been a sort of taking stock;
and Culberson of Texas. Williams of
Mississippi and Daniel Of Virginia,
have each in turn proved they have adj
mirers in all sections. The country
has become a little more accustomed to
think Of the possibility of the great
conservative South once more furnish
ing leader in national policies. May
be. too. more Southern men In public
life will be encouraged to take up
sound notions in politics and these are
apt to be old notions. we may add In
this time when the Washington note
is fidgetiness. when the practice Is to
fdget and call it thinking, when the
"fidgetss, are offered as a sure mark OF
intellectual power, 1t would be
mighty relief to have body Of public
men from any section whose political
careers should be distinguished for

is probably about 10000 years since
anything OF the kind happened before,
and. diminutive as the disturbance is,
it has proved too much for the nerves
of the good folk inhabiting the i'm
mediate vicinity. The scene Of the
occurrence Is at Saon, village OF
about $50 inhabitants. some miles dis
tant from Montelimar. At the head
of the wild gorge. not far from the
village, is a mass of volcanic rock,
which has during the last five or SIX
days taken to throwing UP smoke and
occasional showers of stones. The
people around about are In a state OF
panic, and the houses standing at all
near the rock have been hurriedly
abandoned.
