CENT HAS BECOME POPULAR
Cheaper rrlces Mnko Enormous Ue >
ranmM for the Small Cola
Less than twentyfive years ago that
Coin of the United States designated
one cent was unknown to tho far
West and seldom seen In tho old north
western states says the Washington
Post Nothing was sold for less than
nickel and prices were arrnnpnd to
make even change Now In nil tho
states Including those of the Pacific
slope which were the last to succumb
cents aro In common everyday uso
and prices are arranged arcordlncly
The effect of the change Is of course an
Increased coinage demand Three
presses In tho Philadelphia mint are
turning out 15000 cents a day It Is
stated that from 1793 to the beginning
of our great war the colnaso of the
cent piece averaged only J25000 worth
a year Just before and durlns the war
the coinage became unusually largo
but during the period of Inflated prlce3
It fell oft very materially In 1SSG
however there was a sudden and great
rise In cent coinage and there has been
no return to low figures Almost one
half of the entire cent coinage of the
United States has been executed In tho
last fifteen years or to be exact 301
700000 of the 780001000 pieces out
standing have been strurk since 1880
And still the demand continues
If this chacgo had set In whon the
crash of 1873 cr that of 1893 came on
It would have been regarded as a nat
uraj result of hard times But as It be
gan with tho return of nrnwMlty after
resumption Fome cxnlnrtntlnn other
than that of financial stringency Is re
quired to account for It The Portland
Oregonlan thinks that probibly the
potent Influence In oxtfillnir the use of
copper cents Is the reduction of Drlce
through Improved machinery and les
sened cost of production of articles of
universal use which nlwnss are sold
separately like newspapers It says
tho Bale of papers for fractions of a
nickel everywhere east of the Missis
sippi has created an enormous demand
for pennies and predicts lhat this de
mand for pennies will be quite dou
bled before long by the Inevitable fall
of the price of a single rldo on a street
car below E cents
Tho use of cents Is not a peculiarity
of the poor Many of the most costly
goods such as Bilks velvets and laces
aro marked so as to require change
tn thlscolh Writers on economic sub
lets state that the use of small coins
IS greatest with the most highly1 devel
oped nations We havo beard but one
objection to this reform In tho United
States and that came from a rastor of a
Wesleyan church He complained that
on the Introduction of the copperusing
ainblt In his town the collection fell off
more than GO per cent I

Bniito of Color In AtilmaU
It In next to Impossible to clto an
Instance In which a dog Identifies an
object by Its huo and there Is little posi
tive evidence that the largerquadrupeds
have much sense of color Domestic
cattle are so far affected by violent con
trast of white and dark that the pres
ence of a black white or very clearly
spotted animals In the herd sometimes
results in calves being thrown of tha
same color or markings But though
red la said to Irritate a bull and to
xclte hunters by association of ideas
the latter statement rests partly on sur
mise Tho writer has seen a setterrefuse
to retrieve a black rabbit becauselt ap
parency thought it3 master had shot a
black cat But a houseliving dog shows
no preference for a red carpet or rug
over a blue or a variegated one and
expresses no surprise or curiosity
Whether Its master wears a red uniform
or black evening suit None of the cats
whether wild or tame show any par
tiality for bright hues and among all
the stratagems used from time imnjo
tnorlal by huntors the use of color as a
luro for quadrupeds is notably absent

peals that on tho voto by which Con
gi penman Abbott was ndjMdgcd en
titled to the seat In the easo of Kearby
vs Abbott two lepulitluins were ab
sent The vote stood therefore two
for Kearby and live for Abbott
There are nine members of the com
mittee and tho absence of the two
republicans at the time the voto wns
taken creates some doubt as to the fu
tuie of the case No one knows what
these two will do If they should re
fuse to sign tho majority report width
gives Abbott tho scat then there will
bo four republicans on the mlnouty
report If they agree with the majority
then It Is highly probable that there
will not be a mlnoilty report
If there Is n mlnoilty report signed
by four republicans It la nfe to siiy
that tho case will bo fought further In
tlio house So far tho two absent
members have not given out what they
intend to do Should four republicans
sign a minority report then there will
be the majority report witl threo dem
ocrats and two republicans on it This
would uiuke the caso very Interesting
