The gila monster, the largest lizard
of America, is found in the sand
deserts of Mexico and the southern
part of the United States. 1t belongs
to the only species of venomous lizard
known.
The Indians and Mexicans dread
this little hard-biting reptile, whose
bite is, however, seldom fatal to man.
When frightened or angry its
movements are very rapid. Some
men who had caught one of these
monsters tied it up with string and
commenced teasing it. Presently the
creature became furious. The spec
tators knew nothing about it's ability
to spring until it suddenly leaped
fully two feet of the ground and bit
mans hand.

Injurious Coal Smoke.

John w. Wainwright, of New York,
says there are four sets of particles
in smoke: unconsumed carbon parti-
cles, tar vapors, steam and particles
of dust and ash from the CRATE The
proportions vary with the condition
of the top of the fire and the COM
pleteness of combustion. The SCOT
and the tarry constituents settle on
buildings and on plants and cannot
be easily washed off. Plants do not
grow as well, the air that we breathe
is not so pure, the light is obscured,
the chemical rays are cut off, fogs are
increased, and the destructive action
of the sun on bacteria is lessened.
Smoke, by its irritating PARTICLES and
acids, is harmful to the tissues of
eyes, nose, throat and lungs; it ag-
gravates heart troubles, increases
nervous diseases, lowers the tone of
the general health, is dangerous to
the aged, and lowers the buoyancy of
the spirits. Record.

A LEGEND OF MAMMALIAN. ;
Emperor's Fate Said to Have Been
Foreshadowed by Cracked Die.

LmpeTorS rate oatd 10 11aNe bScA
Foreshadowed by Cracked Die.
The sale few days ago for SGT
each of two specimens of the gold
twenty peso pieces coined for the mn
fortunate Macmillan Of Mexico and
dated 1866 brings attention to an in
teresting series of coins which made
their appearance during the brief PEE
Rod OF the attempt to establish Eu-
ropean monarch upon the throne OF
the Montezumas.
OF course one of the first acts of
Macmillan upon his accession to the
throne was the striking of coins bear
ing his portrait and title. The silver
coins were of five, ten and fifty centa-
vos and one peso.
The copper coinage of Macmillan
consisted of but single denomina-
ton, the one centavo piece. The story
was generally circulated at one time
that only ninety pieces Of the twenty
pesos nominations were originally
struck. This statement has not been
confirmed, but it is fact that the
coin is scarce.
The first Of the issues of Maximli-
ian attracted notice on account of the
statement that the engravers Of the
pieces which show the Emperor's bust
had executed the design in such a
manner that by reversing the coin a
likeness of donkey was produced.
1t requires great deal of imagina-
ton, 1t may be said, to work out such
a resemblance.
There has been an impression that
all the coins of Macmillan are scarce.
but this is not so. Great numbers Of
them were struck and as the Mexican
dollar has for many years been a fav-
orite form of currency in the Orient
millions of such pieces found their
way to the Eastern countries during
the reign of MAMMALIAN The idea
that the one peso piece was held at a
high premium may be accounted for
about 1868 that the Austrian Govern
ment was buying up all the Maximil-
ian dollars at SIS each.
There is said to be one extremely
rare variety of the one peso which
was struck at the Mexico City mint in
1866. According to one story, the
first dies broke after thirty-fve pieces
had been coined and this number rep
resented the age of Macmillan when
he was shot. 1t was said also that
one ball pierced his forehead at the
exact spot where flaw appears in the
die.
AS matter of fact, says an expert
numismatist, die did so to pieces
after few coins had been struck and
the subsequent dies were Of far infer
ior workmanship. The coins of the
first set are identified by the letters
on the inscription of the diverse,
which are shorter than those on the
usual issues, and there is a depression
in the temple of the Emperor's por-
trait.--New York Sun.

sums of money have been diverted
for other purposes than those desig-
mated or intended by the law. The
investigation about to be begun by
the House is intended to uncover as
many of these abuses as possible.
Speaker Cannon named Represen-
tatives Olmstead, Of Pennsylvania,
chairman; Currier, of New Hamp-
shire; Young, of Michigan; Brantley,
of Georgia, and Bowers, of Missis-
sippi, as members of the special COM
mittee authorized by the Tawney res
olution to investigate the various
branches of the Government Secret
Service. Messrs. Brantley and Bow
ers are Democrats. Mr.. Bowers is
a member of the Appropriations Com
mittee.
AS the result of the passage of sew
eral laws in the last few years, with
other reasons, the number of men en-
ployed to discover violGtions of stat
utes has increased nearly twentyfold
within decade. According to Mr..
Tawney, the number of these men on
the Federal roll just prior to the
Spanish War was less than 200; to-
day it exceeds 5000, and the appro-
priations for their maintenance have
jumped from a little over $1,000, 900
to seven or eight times that amount.
This is aside from other expenditures.
Some of the large items contained
in the current appropriation act, that
is, those that were passed last winter,
were shown by Mr.. Tawney and Mr..
Smith, another member of the APP
preparations Committee. They are as
follows:
For the detection of violations of
the postal laws, $1,105, 900.
For the detection of violations of
the internal revenue laws, $125,000.
For TIE detection of frauds on the
customs, 100000.
For the detection of counterfeiters,
$4,000.
For Investigations by the Bureau
of Corporations, $175,0O0.
For special agents and inspectors
in the enforcement of the Interstate
Commerce act, $450,000.
For the detection and prevention
of depredationson publiclands, $780,
600.
For the investigation of Antitrust
law violations, $250,000.
VI 6pSCldl d6SAlS 1OT the FSuSlO0
Bureau, $3S0,000.
For the enforcement of the Meat
Inspection law Congress appropriated
$4,000, 900, the bulk of which is said
to have been expended for inspection
services.
Similarly large part of an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the enforce
ment of the Pure Food act, it is as
serted, is paid out for inspectors.
sum approaching 100000 annual
ly is said t. be expended for the en-
forcement of the immigration and
Chinese exclusion laws.
All this is aside from apuropria,
lions for the collection of evidence in
the ordinary litigation which occu,
pies the time of the Department of
Justice. including The pay of United
States marshals, special attorneys and
experts of various kinds. 1t readily
can be seen that with appropriations
made in lump form. such as the fore
going. it is difficult to segregate the
amounts paid out for actusl work of
detection of all kinds. and it is this.

cation is expected to disclose.

STREET CAR LOUP PLAN BAD
other Cities Getting Away from Them
M Fast as Possible, says
n. A. LeussIer.

other cities which now have street rail-
way loops are getting away from them as
fast as possible" said r. A. Leussler,
secretary and assistant general manager of
the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail-
way company in reference to the action
Of some of the members of the real es-
tate exchange, in recommending that the
street railway company change its system
OF cross town lines to the loop system.
THE disadvantages Of the loop system
are almost too numerous to mention The
loon system makes a great congestion of
cars in the crowded district of a city,
and makes a big delay to all cars on every
line. IL some blockade happens on the
loop, either by reason OF fire, or a dis
abled car or a broken-down wagon, the
entire system Is crippled and the cars are
tied up on every line.
THE best modern accepted practice is
to utilize as many of the down town streets
as possible, instead of confirming the traf-
fic to the few streets which could be used
by loops. It takes perhaps ten minutes
longer for a passenger to go from one
section Of the city to another where the
loop system is in use. In Des Moines they
are doing away with the loop system as
fast az possible, as the people have become
heartily tired Of it."

News from Peru Normal.

PERU, Neb., Jan. 2s.-(Special.)-Prof.
Loomis, head OF the department of domestic
economy in the Normal, who is away on
leave Of absence, writes that her report be-
fore the Home Economic association on the
Peru plan of elf-boarding dormitories for
girls was heartily received, and that the
president of the association commended the
plan very highly.
The new plan of registration devised by
President Crabtree and Registrar Overbolt
is working out very nicely. According to
the old plan it was necessary to allow two
or three days between the first and second
semester for registration. With the new
plan now adopted it is possible TO register
all the students without any break between
the semesters. The old semester will close
Friday and the new semester work will be
taken up next Monday.

at some point In the state, and which is
seeking a location. President Zimmerer ap-
pointed a committee from the club to as
sist the local Odd Fellows in selecting a
proper location for the home, and 1t was
suggested by the president that when the
committee of Odd Fellows comes to Sew
ard to look at the several locations that
have been selected that as many citizens
as possible go with them. The matter of

JOY WORK

Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their way
to work? Noting the number who were
forcing themselves along because IL meant
their daily bread. n the others cheer
fully and eagerly pursuing their way be-
cause of love of their work.
1t is a fact that ones food has much to
do with il. AS an example:
II an engine has poor oil, or boiler is
fired with poor coal, a bad result is GER
tain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the key
stone that sustains the arch of health's
temple and you will find "Grape-Nuts"

We have thousands of testimonials, real,
genuine little heart throbs, from people
VINO simply tried Grape-Nuts out of curl
osity-as a last resort-with the result
that prompted the testimonial.
II you have never tried Grape-Nuts. it's
worth while TO give IL a fair impartial
trial. Remember there are millions eat
ing Grape-Nuts every day-they know. and
