BABSJOf BUNGLES Jewellers Advlaed by Secret Service Men That It la Against Law to Mutilate Money. Now York, N. Y. Secret Service men are notifying Jewelers In Maiden lane and elsewhere who have been In the practice of converting gold and sliver colnu Into ornaments and sell ing them at a profit that this is a violation of a federal law and must cease. The usual process of the Jewellers has been to make pne side of the coin smooth, so as to engrave a monogram or other design on it, while the other side remains the same as when It left the mint. A revival of a demand for bangle bracelets has been one of the causes of the mutilation of coins. Banglea were a fad twenty-five years ago, when a young woman was proud to have her arm encircled In a brace let to which were fastened many coins bearing the monograms of the young men of her acquaintance. Besides the use of coins for ban gles they have been meeting with favor of late in the manufacture of scarfplns and also hatpins and vari ous other articles of Jewelry. The opinions of federal attorneys In several cities were obtained by the Secret Service, and It was decided, Inrtead of commencing any legal pro ceedings, to notify the Jewellers that the practice must cease. It is point ed out that the coins so mutilated may again go Into circulation as their Identity Is not destroyed. Manufacturing Jewellers are in the haMt of melting gold coin Instead of buying the metal in bullion, and this Is permitted, as the coins are then destroyed as such. It is often more convenient for Jewellers to get coin then gold bullion for melting, and an advantage In using the coin In this wpy Is "that the metal has the govern ment guarantee of quality and needs no further assay. Some Jewellers think that the fed err' authorities are go.lng too far in Interfering with the bangle industry, as they say a person who owns a coin may do as he likes with It providing he does not try to pass it as money after mutilating It. OO OOOOOOOQOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Not Wrong to Kiss Girl You Knew In School Days. Sterling, 111. "Kissing a pret ty girl with whom there has been an acquaintance for years extending through school days, does not constitute a case of assault and battery, but It Is the result of uncontrolled emo tion and I thereby discharge the defendant from this court," was a report of the verbal decision handed down by Justice Frank Miller of Chadwick In a suit brought by Ethel Buyers, a school teacher. Miss Buyers and Frank Davis attended a party and in the course of the evening amusements Mr. Davis kissed the teacher in spite of the fact that she protested. She became angered over the affair due to taunts received and final ly secured a warrant for Davis's arrest charging him with as sault and battery. HIS INSURED WHISKERS BURN. Lloyds of London Will Have to Pay Up on the Policy. Portland Ore. Fred W. Palmer of San Francisco will on returning from here to his own city collect the insur ance on his whiskers. Fifty years of age and endowed with considerable capital, Palmer when his hair began to thin out Insured the fad lug hirsute growth for 9100. At the Game time he took out a $50 policy with Lloyds of London Eng. through the San Francisco agent on his whiskers, which, alas, were then waist low. Being pronounced perfectly bald in two years after taking out the pol'cy, Pa'mer collected the $100 on his hair. But his whiskers clung lovingly to his chin until last week in Vancouver, B. C. While smoking a cigar In the lobby of the Vancouver Hotel on a ra'ny afternoon Palmer fell asleep and the lighted cigar dropped down into the facial foliage and set It on fire. Palm er's own private blaze was put out with a fire extinguisher. , LOMBROSO'8 SKULL FOR PUPIL. Famous Criminologist Wanted It Ex amined for Science. Turin, Italy.

Woman Kills a Dtsr at BOO Feet. Northfleld, Mass.

IN THE LAND OF TAILLESS CAT IN the Isle of Man nre many curi ous beliefs. The last night of the old year was called Qunaltngb, and It was the custom for par ties of young men to visit from house to house nnd sing a soug wishing the Inmates long life and happiness nnd plenty of potatoes and herrings, butter nnd cheese, that they might sleep well during the year and not be disturbed by even "the tooth of a flea." On finishing the song the party was in vited Into the house, the darkest mem ber being 'always the first to enter, nnd they were regafed with good cheer. For a light haired man or any woman or girl to enter a house on New Year's day Is dreaded by nil. If such a catas trophe takes place, on him or her will be cast the blame for every accident that befalls the home during the year. Great care is taken to brush the car pet of a room from the door .to the hearth and not from the hearth to the door. This makes all the difference between good nnd bad luck, health and death, to the family during the year. On New Year's eve It was also the custom to rake the ashes of the fire over the kitchen floor. The next morn ing the n6hes were eagerly examined for the trace of a footprint. If one was discovered with the toes pointing to the door It signified that death would certainly enrry off one of the household during the year; if the foot, however, pointed from the door to the hearth then an addition would be made to the family before twelve months had gone. San Francisco Chronicle. New Year's Bells. Paullnus. bishop of Nola, Introduced the bell into the Christian worship In the year 400 A. D. The first bells were made in Campania; hence the term campanile, or bell tower. The adoption of the bell into the services of the church soon gave the chimes the com forter's office in the minds of the de vout. In their simple faith the wor shipers believed that consecrated bells had the power to prevent storms, to drive away evil spirits and to bring re pose to the sufferer. The direct forerunner of the New Year's bell Is what was known as the "passing bell." This was rung nt the death of a believer. In theory devils troubled the expiring patient. More over, they lay In wait to trouble the soul the instant it passed from the body. But the peals of a consecrated bell were believed to possess a potency that the most malignant of devils could not withstand; hence with every death the ringing of the holy bells exorcised the evil spirits and assured the soul a happy passing Into a future of un troubled peace. From this ancient custom developed easily and naturally the habit of ring ing out the old year and ringing In the new. The parallel between the death of a human being and the death of the spent old year Is clear enough. All that was evil in the old year, all that It had brought of misfortune nnd wor ry, was supposed to be resolved into nothing by the music of bells ascend ing the starlit skies at the" mysterious midnight moment of transition. St. Paul Pioneer Press. A National Pay Day. New Year Is the national pay day in China. All accounts must be squared up at that time, and the man who can't raise enough to pay his debts has to go into bankruptcy. The laws are such that the creditor can enter the debtor's house and take what he pleases if there is no settlement. To prevent such action families club together and make all sorts of compromises to keep up the business reputation of the clan. New Year's Is a great day for the pawn brokers; their shops are crowded with people who want to redeem their best clothes before the new year. There are crowds who want to pawn other .things in order to get money to pay their debts. Pawnbrokers receive very high rates of interest, in which they are protected by the government Philadelphia Press. Sweeping Out the Old Year. On New Year's eve in Yorkshire and some other parts of England people with blackened faces, decked with rib bons and paper flowers, etc., each car rying a broom, go the round of the houses and offer to sweep out the old year for the occupants. They are gen erally rewarded with crescent shaped New Year's cakes or butter and eggs. When Pop 8wore Off. When pop swore off last New Year's My maw was awful elad, Although she sorter cried a bit. But that's a way she had. Pop said that he'd 'a' done It Jest after C'rlstmas night Except that he was waltln' fer New Year's to do It right. When pop swore oft last New Year's It seemed like he was sore. He scolded maw an' kicked the cat Clean through the kitchen door. An' as fer me, good gracious. He licked me good enough Jest 'cause I asked hlra how It felt To do without the stuff! When pop swore off last New Year He didn't smile fer days, But seemed to mope around the house With Jest a stony gaze. An' there was simply nothln' That seemed a-pleastn' htm. I never see a man so stern An' grumpy-like an' grim. When pop swore off last New Year's It lasted fer a spell. But when he started up again Maw said 'twas Jest as well. I guess she knows her business. It made pop act so queer I hops he ain't a-goln' to do No swearln' off this ysarl Bum a. gtlMea. For a Theme; ANGELS. BY THE REV. WALDO A. AM03. Text: Matthew 4:6: "He shall give !n angels charge concerning thee and " their hands they shall bear thee up r.t at any time thou dash thy foot j.jdnst a stone." One evening when the poet Shelley ivss at University College, Oxford, he nd a fellow student named Hogg be .tmc engaged in a warm discussion t the dinner table as to the compara 've merits of German nnd Italian lit-'i-ature. The discussion was carried m with great ardor for an hour or nre, Shelley defending the Italian writers, and Hogg siding with tho Germans. Then It was proposed that 'ho disputants should continue their debnte in Shelley's rooms. On reach ing his study the poet turned to Hogg and said: "To tell you tho truth, I hove no knowledge of the Italian lan zinge, and I know absolutely nothing 'bout Italian literature." Hogg con 'e.ed a like ignorance of the Ger ipn language and literature, and 1 ere the discussion ended. Let us begin, then, by saying frenk y that you don't know anything al tut 'nsels, and neither do I. There have eon times during the course of his ory when people thought that they ':nnw a great deal about them. The medieval scholiasts, for example, em to have had Inside Information which enabled them to give the most totalled account of the nature auS 'nhlts of angels. Even as recently ns ISTo a Mr. Duke, of London, publish ed a book on "The Nature and Em ployments of the Holy Angels." Sev eral years ago one of the sculptors en Siped In decorating the new cathedral in New York was brought to book when his chisel produced a woman an icl. for any one who knows anything it all knows that all angels are of the male persuasion. Apparently, condi tions in Heaven are somewhat differ ent from what they are In this world; 'r among the "angels I have known" r-eral have been of the gentler sex. t'b whole attitude, however, which '-nmpts a man to write a book on the i nre and employment of the angels, r seriously to discuss the question of l""ir sex, finds scant sympathy nt the "-osent day. Nowadays we regard fl'? angels of Scripture as part of the "OPtry of religion; we regard them as products of the poetic imagination, Tho give expression to their hopes and fears In song and verse; we as sociate them with shepherds and star lit nights and with "the storied land across the Syrian Sea." Consequently, wo resent any attempt on the part of the theologian to reduce the angels to terms of dull prose; we resent any attempt such as that of Father Rack ham to determine what speech Is cur rent In the world beyond, for we know that the speech of the angels is poe try, the language of the heart, and tlifit that language Is universal, know ing naught of accent, gender, mood or tense. While the angels are the peculiar province of the poet, we prosaic folk may, however, apply our scientific method to what the world has thought about angels. We must stndy histori cally the gradual development of the ld?a of angels without feeling that we arc rushing in where poets fear to tread. Our word angel Is derived from the Greek word meaning a messenger who conveys God's words to men. In the later books of the Old Testament and in tho New Testament we find the Influence of the Persian religion, with which the Tews had come Into contact for several hundred years, we find archangels, Michael, Gabriel and Rap hael, with Persian names. The back ground of the Bible, the background of the Master's mind, Is the popular thinking of the day, and consequently we find In our Scriptures this celestial company adapted by the Jews from the poetry and religion of Persia. In cluded In this heavenly hierarchy were guerdlan angels, and recording an gels, angelic messengers, in ancient times, as in our own time, were the products of the poetic Imagination. When I say that the angels are part of the poetry of religion, I do not mean that they are unreal. Tho things of poetry are more real than the things of prose. The angels are the products of the imagination, but we must remember that the Imagina tion Is no airy and playful thing. It Is that deep and essential faculty which in a Newton leaps from tho falling apple to the movements! of the stars in their courses; it Is that ideal Izlng faculty which In a Darwin wings its daring flight from a fow observed phenomena to a universal process of evolution. There are angels, then, guardian angels, recording angels, and angels who carry to and fro the mes sages of God. Swedenborg, the philos opher, believed In them cp thoroughly that he used to go Into his church all alone in the early morning and preach to them, and if tho sermons wero ex pressions of his own deep and earnest conviction, I've no doubt the ancols heard him. There are guardian angels. Of their nature and employments we know nothing. But they are the spiritual forces pt are above and around and ail aboltt us. TRIAL LIST, Wayne Common Pleas Jan.
