N*w lllwr Coins
..Tta* Director of the Mint will in-
Mgurfite the new year by issuing the
new silver coins—half-dollar, quar-
ter-dollar and dime—bearing the new
design. The Mint at Philadelphia
has commenced on the coinage of
these pieces, and the mints at San
Franciscoand Now C rleans will as soon
as the dies reach them. The silver
used in this coinage will consist of
the uncurrent silver coins now in the
Treasury awaiting recoinage, and the
coinage will be conducted until the
balance of the appropriation availa-
ble for recoinage, now about $22,000,
has been exhausted. The Director
hopes to recoin at least a million dol-
lars of the uncurrent coins in the
Treasury into the new coins under
the existing appropriation, and when
it is exhausted Congress will be urged
to make a diflciency appropriation to
continue this coinage. The new
pieces will be transferred from the
Mint to the Treasury at Washington
and the different Sub-Treasuries as
fast as coined, so that they may be
distributed in all parts of the coun-
try.—American Banker.
A Curious Distinction.
A curious distinction has been
made by Justice Lawrence, of Man-
chester, England. He decides that
although "to call a man a thief is
slander, to call a man a d—d thief is
not." The latter is, he decides,
"abuse, merely," and of mere abuse,
however vulgar, the law of libel and
slander takes no account.—Waco
Day.
Liver Complaint-Bllllousneas.
The chief symptoms of this dis-
ease are depression of spirits, foul
coated tongue, bad tasting mouth,
disagreeable breath, dry skin with
blotches and eruptions, sallow com-
plexion and yellow eyes, tired aching
Bhoulders, dull pain in right side,
faintness, dizziness and irregular
bowels. This complaint in all of
:ts torms can be readily cured by
tskingDr. Gunn's Improved Liver
fills as directed, and a lingering
spell of sickness will often be warded
off by their use. Sold at 25 cents a

Johnson County Review.
one that tells us that a continual
dropping in a very rainy day and a
contentious wo nan are alike. Many
men know that it is indeed "better
to dwell in the wilderness than with
a contentious woman."
When such men, broken in spirit
and bitterly disappointed in all thei.
hopes of happiness, go to the wilder-
ness or to some other place where
they can have peace, the preponder-
ance of sympathy is with them in-
stead of with the wives they leave
behind.
The writer very well remembers
being in acourt of justice in the west
when a divorce case was on trial.
The plaintiff, an unhappy, deject-
ed looking man, took the witness
stand, and, pointing toward his wife,
a shrewish-looking woman, said in a
high-pitched, screeching voice:
"Well, jedge, all I got to say is
that that woman has jawed stiddy
for nineteen jears!"
Think of nineteen years of "stiddy
jaw!"
The complaining, fault-finding,
scolding man is an even worse blot
on the fair face of creation than the
scoldiug woman, and all women who
have such husbands to their portion
should be forgiven much.—J .L. H.

No healthy person need fear any
dangerous consequences from an at-
tack of la grippe if properly treated.
It is much the same as a severe cold
andreqvires precisely the same treat-
ment. Remain quietly at home and
take Chainberlin's Cough Remedy as
directed for a severe cold and a
prompt and complete recovery is sure
to follow. This remedy also coun-
teracts any tendency of lagrippe to
result in pn'eumonia. Among the
many thousands who have used it
during the epidemics of the past two
years we have yet to learn of a single
case that has not recovered or that
has resulted in pnemonia. 25 and

This same lady also spoke of a so-
ciety in China called the Society of
the Heavenly Foot, comprised of
young men who pledge themselves not
to marry a girl unless she has a foot
as large as heaven intended it to be.
Would that we in America might
have a similar society, called the So-
ciety of the Heavenly Waist, com-
prised of men who would pledge
themselves not to marry a girl unless
she has a waist as large as heaven in-
tended it to be.—The Household.

A Heavenly Waist.
Barbarous as is the fashionable
Chinese foot, and extreme as must
be the suffering to produce the
"three-inch gold lilies," as they are
poetically called, the result to life
and health is far less dangerous than
the compression of the waist by tight
lacing. An American lady, who has
recently come from China, tells the
following incident:
A Chinese woman was looking over
an illustrated American paper of
fashions. All at once she exclaimed,
pointing to some of the figures,
"You say 'China woman, pinch foot,
Some impertinent questioner had the
brazen assurance to ask, some time
since, who got the $ 1,000 000 saved
to the people of Texas by the railroad
commission? So far, the beneficiaries
if any, have made no leply. However,
if this $1,000,000 was saved to the
people, which necessarily diminished
the revenues of the railroads that
much, which in turn was taken from
the wages of railway employes, which
in turn caused the strike on the Aran-
sas Pass railway system, which in turn
threatens to involve in the same strike
every railway system in the state.
