It is estimated by paper makers
that .the consumption of paper for
books is only six per cent, of the entire
manufacture, the greater portion made
being used in the form of wrapping
paper or paper for the newspaper
press.
The United States Tobacco Journal
declares that the bicycle has caused a
reduction for the last year of over 700,
000,000 in the consumption of cigars,
the reason assigned being that men sel
dom smoke while riding a wheel.
In "machine sizing," that is, the
fixing of paper by a machine process,
a solution of gelatine is employed. The
quality of the gelatine used depends
upon the kind of paper to be made,
For the finest qualities of note paper
the best grades of gelatine must be
employed.

An old-time cart of a kind that is
now very rare, even in the remoter
southern districts, was driven into the
market place at Lynchburg the other

wheels were solid blocks of wood,

of the cart was four feet high. A
diminutive red steer waa pulling the
wagon, a wizened old darky was driv

A Deer, l'anther and Locomotive Have m
Race In the Florida Woods.
C. C. Taylor, engineer of the Pablo
railroad, has pulled a throttle for 36
years, and during that time he has had
many novel experiences, but a few days
ago he had one that has no parallel
in his life s history.
It was during the run from Tablo to
Jacksonville. Conductor K. ltogero
pulled the bell-ord to leave Tablo at
flv p. m. The tr'n slipped out of the
depot nnd sped for home. About eight
miles this side of Pablo is Cedar swamp,
a tangled morass In which bears, wild
cats, deer, nnd even panthers have been
often killed. When about half way
through the swamp an immense buck,
wild-eyed and lathered with sweat,
nimle a cleiin leap of 25 feet to the track,
within 00 feet of the engine. An in
stnnt later there was a crash of the
underbrush, nnd out of it came an im
mense panther, running so fust that lie
seemed to be level with the ground.
He was ho enger to catch the game
uhead of him that he bad no eye for
the train.

The 1-oent copper . coin of the
United States is enjoying an Increased
popular demand. It is a significant
fact that the coinage of this piece has
of very recent years taken up more of
the time of the Philadelphia mint than
ever before. Three presses are now at
work there on copper coinage, turning
out 150,000 cents a day. This rate has
before been equaled or exceeded, but
it is worthy of remark now in view of
the previous great output of the copper
coins within the past dozen years.
Since the foundation of the mint in 1793
1,066,677,508 one-cent pieces have been
struck, and it is estimated that some
780,000,000 pieces are now outstanding.
But the great bulk of tbia coinage
has taken place lately. From 1793 to
the beginning of the civil war the coin
age of the cent piece did not average
much above $25,000 worth a year, or
2,500,000 pieces. Just prior to and dur
ing the war the coinage became un
usually large, but fell off during the
time of Inflated price to a marked ex
tent. But in 1880 the penny coinage
rose suddenly to an unusually high
figure, and has kept there ever since.
W ithin the past 15 years almost one-
half of the entire penny coinage of the
wdiole country has been executed. Of
the amount outstanding of 780,000,000
pieces, no less than 504,700,000 pieces
have been struck in the 15 years. And
the public demand for the coin appears
to be unabated and rather on the in
crease. The explanation of this is doubtless
to be found in the more general prac
tice of cash payment in the retail
trade and the great fall in prices which
haa come aliout in the past 20 years.
Tot long ago .the smrllest. coin known
in the general circulation wet of the
Mississippi river was the nickel 5-cent
piece. Only within a few daya the
larger St. Louis papers were charging
5 cents a copy for their issues, when 3
cents, 2 cent and even 1 cent were tne
prevailing rates farther east. Now pa
per costing only the fraction or a
nickel are the rule rather than the ex
ception In the west. The growth of
the country and the conietit.ion in
business would of themselves finally
bring the cent into active use there,
but the downward course of price ha
operated all over the country to make
it a much more active coin thnn ever
before. Odd prices are now frequent
even where pnrvhase are for round
amount or considerable sums. IV-nuy
bargnin counter in some of tbe big de
partment store have lately been Intro
duced. A 3-eent street car fare I not
unknown; and no doubt ia to become
better known.
In fact, so closely la the trade of the
country calculating Its prices that a de
mand may not be far off for the rein
trod net ion of the half-cent piece. Frac
tional part of a cent are now very
common In even retail quotation.
England find use for such a coin In
tbe bronxe farthing, France In the sou,
which la, however, more nearly the
value of a rent than a half-cent. Our
own coinage law nave autnorlxeil tie
coinage of a half-cent piece, and from
1793 to 111 a large number of three
piece were atruck. At two other e
rlod before tha war there was aome
coinage of this coin; but In 1457 It waa
discontinued, and ha not bern aince
revived. The J-cent piece wa drop-d
In 173, and the 3-eent piece In IMO.
Tba rrowlti' Importance of the
penny or, more properly, the cent, haa
an Important bearing on the economy
of the people. It give to the nickel,
tba dime, and all piece of money

than they had before, and teacheararw

to feel ashamed lo wait at the store

and the disputed chickens were so very
much like him in color and other -ways
that no one doubted they were his lineal
descendants. The rooster, when put
on the stand, began at once to crow
lustily, as if desiring to proclaim the
innocence of the accused, and furnished
much amusement to the court. After
hearing all the evidence in the case
and inspecting the rooster the judge
discharged the prisoners and told the
prosecutor that, while it was perhaps
true he had lost his chickens, yet he
was convinced they had become the
prey of owls or 'possums.
TE GOOD SAMARITAN IN CHINA
He Would Have Been Likely to Get Him
self Into Trouble.
One dark evening I was returning
home from a call on one of our Eng
lish neighbors in Taiyuenfu, writes
Prof. C. M. Catly in Century. When not
far from our Compound the road
crossed an open space of several acres
in extent. As I was finding my way
along by the dim light of a Chinese
lantern, I nearly stumbled over the
body of a man who had fallen by the
way. My first impulse waa to take,
hold of the person and ascertain if
help was needed; but for some reason
I did not, but hurried home to get aid.
Mr. X was still with us, and on hearing
my statement said:
"Yes, I know; the man is dead, end
it is fortunate that you did not attempt
to touch the body. Should we now
try to remove it, or even go to it, wo
should no doubt be seen, and at once
suspicion would attach itself to us, and
none could tell the consequences. We
might cause a riot before morning."
It should be said that this suspicion
would not have been because we were
foreigners, for a native under sim
ilar circumstances would likewise have)
run the risk of being charged with,
the murder. The Good Samaritan
would have fared hardly in China
or most likely would have been aus
pected of doing the kind deed for some
ultimate gain while the priestand tha
Levite would have been accounted not
nsjfd-hearted, bill prudeni.-.-, ,5

THANKFUL MOTHER'S BLESSING
Charity' Rewrd-The IMace Where It I
Never Cold.
There Is nn old lady on the West side,
white-haired, lienevolent-looklng
woman, whose GO yenrv of life have been
filled with good deeds, any the Chicngo
Times Herald. She is ulways doing
good, nnd the woithy poor always I'.nd
in her a friend in need. It was during
the first cold snap this winter that she
heard a poor widow, an Irishwoman,
with four small children, who were In
need of clothing to protect them from
the cold. Tbe next day, with a large
bundle of clothing, she vialled the com
fort Icks rooms of this unfortunate fam
ily. The mother had goneout,butthe
children were there, and this old Int'y,
whose charity work la of the practical
sort, proceeded to dress the little ones
herself, beginning with the youngest,
a mere baby. She was just fnelciilt.g
the lart button of the drraa of the
eldet girl when the door oened nd
the mother walked in. She waachillrd
through, tired, and discouraged from
ber failure to get work. It took but
an instant for ber lo grnap the situa
tion, and when shn looked Into the
kindly fore of tha benefai tre bereyea
were flllt-d with lear.
"(lod bleu ye, mum, for your kind
nra to my little otn-a," ah said, "and
may ye never go lo a place thai laeold "
"My good woman," replied tha eld
lady, "prrhape the reason I do thle ia
to avoid going to a plnce that ia hot,"
