Undo Sam Makes a Profit of SB7O on Every Million Coined—lso,ooo Aro Turned Out Dally. 17 HE long despised coppor oent t " haa entered upon a new era of tisefuluess according to tho authorities of the Mint at Philadelphia. The Mint has beon turning out pennies lately at un as tonishing rate, says tho New York Journal. Ever since September I throe presses have boen working eight hours a day stamping Unolo Sam's de sign upon littlo disks of bright new copper. The average daily output has beon 150,000 cents. This represents a profit to tho Government per diorn of a trifle over $l3O. There is money ia minting cents from the Government's point ol view. The coppor "blanks" are not made by the Treasury, but are bought under contract. They aro turned out by a firm inWaterbury, Conn., and they oost Uncle Sam only $7300 per mill ion. In other words, for soveu and throo-tenths cents ho obtains material which by a simple process of stamping is transformed into tho worth of sl. Tho profit on each 1,000,000 cents is sued is SB7O. Until within the Inst few yoars tho blanks for cents aud uiokels wore made at the Philadelphia Mint, but it was found to be more convenient nnd about as ohoap to purchase thorn from privato parties. The eontraot for pro ducing them is awarded annually to the lowest bidder, aud on this account their cost varies somewhat from year to year. Those coins are considered merely us tokens, und their intrinsic valuo is of no consequence whatever. They are noitber counted nor tested by assaying at tho Mint, being weighed in bulk only. One pound avoirdupois of the blauks for cents costs the Government twenty cents, and makos $1.40 worth of pou nios whon coined. In othor words, thero aro 146 blanks to tho pound. The blanks are shipped to tho Mint in strong wooden boxes. They ore ex tremely protty, looking liko so much gold whon bright and new. In fact, visitors to the Mint frequently mis tnko tho contents of boxes that stand open for gold, and it is a common thing for them to 6ny that thoy wishod thoy could bo permitted to take away all that thoy can carry. This oft-ro poated remark always exoitcs a smile, inasmuch as tho strongest man could not oarry SIOO worth of the blanks without groat difficulty. All of tho United States conts are made at tho Philadelphia Mint. During tho last fiscal year 26,014,277 of them wcro mintod. Tho produc tion of cents roso throe years ago to nearly 100,000,000f0r a twelve-month. A steady stream of these littlo coins tlow from Philadelphia to most parts of the country, though iu some locali ties thoy are not circulated at all. But it often happens, a3 at present, that tho demand oxcccds the supply. Tho odd prices fixod by dry goods firms nowadays havo something to do with tho unusual demand, inasmuch as thoy rcquiro tho making of small change on nearly every purchase. Such prices seem to havo an attraction for the public, and particularly for women, who aro apt to buy au article for $1.98 when they would not pay $2. Then, again, tho slot maohiues absorb au immouse number of peuuies. But nftor all the movemont iu favor of chcapor newspapers has done more to plaoo tho little old rod cent on a plane of rospootability than any other agency. Very fow pennies come back to tko Mint for reinelting. The stream of coppers flows out continually, but its history is liko that of many rivers in Wostorn deserts, which are lost finally )n tho sand. Nobody knows what be comes of tho millions on millions of cents that are minted annually ; they simply vanish out of sight and are gone forever. Tho phenomenon seems a strange one, but it is easily account ed for. Pennies are subject to moro accidents than any other coins ; they chango hands ten times as often as dimes, it is reckoned, aud being of small value, they are not cared for.

This seoms to hold good in tho case of the ltov. N. IJ. Jonos, pastor of tho Port Fulton M. E. Church, who lias just returned from Greenwood Sanitarium, where ho was treated for snaku poisoning. Mr. Jonos was bitten by a red headed adder a year ago while at Itising Sun, aud ho had to walk nearly a half hour beforo ho gained medical assistance. Ho was unconscious for several hours, aud it was thought he might not re cover, but finally he did get well. This year, nearly at tho corresponding dato at which ho was bitten, all the symp toms reappeared in a milder form, liii ankle swelled and hiH skin discolored in spots. He suffered at tho same time much pain. He foarsthat he will have a recurronco of tho trouble every year, especially since it is well known that tho futher of the l!ev. W. H.

Lust Resting Pluco of tho Great Preal ldent'a Father and Stepmother, At the Shiloh Church, half way be tween the quiet country towns of Farm- Ington and Juuesville, in the southern part of Coles Coun ty, 111., is a beautl i fully situated coun fc'jirrV try buryin round Jl'hm known us tho Gor- ° 11 Cemetery. Here, among tJio fJJjik modest headstones • tJult mar k the \y graves of other BAIIAII LIKCOLN. pioneers, towers tlie marble shaft of ono who, while living, was reckoned no better or greater than his neighbors, yet, now that time Is still adding luster to the fame of his groat son, the name of Thomas Lincoln and all that per tains to his life, his death and place of burial is coming into historic prom inence. The graveyard Is a pleasant drive from Mattoon, Charleston or Greenup, and many visit It during the summer months, but as the grave is overgrown with weeds and 110 flowers are near, it would seem that the visit ors are attracted more through curi osity than to do honor to the dead. The grave of Thomas Lincoln was left unmarked from the time of his dentil in 1831 until 1880. After Abra ham Lincoln was elected President he visited his father's grave and left word to have estimates sent him of the cost of a tombstone, hut the war coming 011 it was never attended to. Thus rested the ashes of tho pioneer, almost forgotten in tho excitement of the times when his only sou was acquiring tho height of his fame, until Geo. B. Baleh, a local poet of 110 mean talent, wrote a poem 011 "Tho Grave of tho Father of Abra ham Lincoln." J 7.^. were published gjAlTfCßlitf ill Lippiucott' Magazine and other publicu lions nnd a copy TIIOMAS LINCOLN sent to Ilobert MONUMENT. Lincoln, who promptly responded l>y offering to pay the expense of a monu ment for id s grandfather's gravo. Meantime tho poem had aroused tho patriotism of Coles County citizens and some funds had been raised, BO that when tlie draft was made on the young er Lincoln it was for only $llt!. Tho monument is a plain Grecian obelisk of Italian marble, 1) feet 8 Incites in height, by no means the finest in this rural graveyard, and bears the follow ing simple inscription: * THOMAS LINCOLN, * * father of * * Tho Martyred President, * * Horn * * Jan. 0, 1778: * Died • * .Tail. 18, 1851. * On the base is tlie word "Lincoln" in large letters, and a small footstouo bears the letters "T. L." The monu ment was placed where It now stands ou tlie 7t.'li day of May, 1880, twenty nine years after Mr. Lincoln's death. Thomas Lincoln's second wife sleeps by Ids side, ami she, too, deserves more than passing notice in tlie pages of his tory. Abraham Lincoln loved her as a mother, and it Is said that lie owed much of his straight character and uo blcness of soul to her training. When ho was elected President, and before going to Washington, ho visited his father's grave and the lowly homo that had sheltered him for so many years. Siie, with a mother's intuition, was fear ful of the great task lie was undertak ing of leading the nation in its hour of greatest peril, and told him she knew FOUR CHICAGO GIRLS ABROAD.

Two miles southeast of the graveyard Is tho old Lincoln farm on Goose Nest prairie—so named In early days be cause the woods surround it in the form of a goose nest—to which Thomas Lin coln moved from Macon County, the only move he ever made after coming to Illinois. Abraham Lincoln helped build tho old log cabin here, but never lived UOMLT OF LINCOLN'S FAIIKNTB. with his parents in it, having started in life for himself just at this time, but it was on this memorable ground that his father and stepmother spent their last days. John Ilall, a landmark in tlie county's history and a good type of the now almost extinct Illinois pioneer, owns this farm and makes his homo here. His mother was a step-sister of Abraham Lincoln, and they rode in the wagon that brought the Lincoln family from Spencer County, Ind., to Illinois, in 1830, when lie was but a year old, the future President driving the ox team that hauled them. After tho death of Thomas Lincoln, Mr. Ilall bought the place of John D. Johnston, Lincoln's step-brother, and has held it since, Grandmother Lincoln making her home with him until her death. In 181)1 John Hall sold the old log house to tho A lira ham Lincoln Log Cabin Association to be removed to tho World's Fair. He also transferred to them, hoping they would be better pre* served in their keeping, all tho relics ho hud in his possession. Clearly a Stand-Off. Rome years ago two ofllcers in tliti British army in India had a difficulty which resulted in a duel. The colonel, the challenged party, was an old cam paigner who had won ids laurels in the Crimea, and was a gallant soldier. The choice of weapons being his, ho named pistols, and elected that tho affair should occur in a dark room. We se cured a room twenty-feet square (sayg the narrator of the incident), closed every crevice that would admit light, placed our men in corners diagonally opposite and withdrew. Each man was provided with three charges, and when these were exhausted we rushed in to gather up the mutilated remains. Each man stood erect and soldier-like in his corner, untouched; but directly behind the officer who had given the challenge were three bullet-lioles made by the colonel's pistol. "llow is this?" said tho grizzled major; "had you been standing here when thoso shots were llrod, you would have been killed." The culprit was forced to admit that he had dropped to one knee. "You are a cow ard, sir, and unlit for the company of soldiers and gentlemen!" cried the major, "Hold on, major!" said tho col onel; "it is a stand-off. While ho was on his knees in one corner I wus on my stomach in the other." "Bunkins, I guess, is about the smart est man of his years in this commu nity," said the citizen who observes. "Knows a great deal, does he?" "Knows a great deal? I should say so. Why, sir, that man knows almost as much as his 10-year-old daughter who Is In the high school."—Washington Star.

A reporter callod, on Wednesday evening, May 8, 1895, at tho rosf donco of Mr. Willinm McMahon, No. IGBB Pearl street, Brooklyn village (Cleveland), 0., to learn, If possible, the cause of tho noticeable Im provement hi his physical condition over that of a year ago, when he was a sutTorer from indigostton and various organic disorders. "You see," began Mr. MeMuhon, "to start with, my work—that of setting typo at the cuse--ttllow9 mo little ehanco for bodily oxoroise, and is alto get her too confining for anybody who is in tho lonst subject to indiges tion or dyspopsia. Terhaps not moro so than many another mechanic or artisan who is constantly Indoors and under sovero mental strain, while tho physical development is sadly in need of something to keep it in trim. Well, that has been my com plaint for vuars, and some months ago I became very bilious, and con stipation made lite miserablo for me at times. Then it took a seat in my LIVEIt, which became noticoably Inactive, and I became alarmed about it. Tho first tiling I turned my attention to was to secure a 'liver regulator,' which, however, failed to regulate; noxt I sought rollef in 'liver pills,' which so pained and gripod mo that the cure was, I thought, worse than tho disease. Tho next tiling I did was to throw away tho whole 'shooting match,' and rosolvo to tako no moro propri etory medicines. However, on hearing my tale of woe, ono day, at the offleo, a fellow-workman offered mo a small Tahule—ltipans ho callud it—which, he said, ho would guarantee to act on tho liver. I took it under protost, expecting to bo doubled up in about fifteen min utes with the 'gripes.' But I was agreeably surprised in its notion. It was very gentle, and I resolved to try a box.
