Mr.. Charles Nathan visits st. Louis IN
the interest OF the proposed English

ports Of the Caribbean seq, Venezuela,
the Island Of Trinidad, British Guiana,
on one route, and the semi monthly
steamer to touch at the ports OF ia

SO, 600 tons OF cargo shipped monthly to
thes0ports and Brazil, OF the value OF
$40, 900 600 year, while coffee and other
products are received reaching double
that amount.
This is a very valuable trade, which,
from our nearer proximity to these for
eign markets, ought to be entirely con-
trolled by our manufacturers and mer-
chants. 1t is important to have the
names OF our business community
brought prominently before these large
consuming markets. Some OF our citi-
zens comprehend the advantage thor
oughly of being brought into direct COM
munication with foreign consumers, and
as Mr.. Nathan's stay Is very short
among us, we recommend those he has
not the time to visit to call on him at

THE CHRISTIAN BESANT.

When the Crusaders had succeeded in
gaining permanent loothOl4 in Syria,
Wnen Jerusalem was Christian King
dom, and TripoIi, Antioch, and Tyre
priucipalities governed by western
knights, with a curlousiy mixed popula-
ton OF French, English, Italians. Arabs,
Turks, Greeks, aud Syrians, then arose
the need OF a special mint tor the use OF
intruders; aad then, too, 1T became
necessary to devise coinage which
should commend itself not merely to the
ruling races put also to their Mohamme-
dan subjects aud those turbulent Emirs
who, to protect themselves against their
Seljuk Suzerain of Persia, had estab-
lished friendly relations with their old
enemies the Franks.
The easiest solution OF the difficulty
was to initiate the coinage OF the neigh
boring FAltimite KhaIifs of Egypt, which
was then current throughout Syria.
That the Franks of Tyre adopted this
plan is recorded by the Arab historians,
aud in the museums Of Europe are many
curious gold pieces, bearing rough lml-
tatiUns OF the Arabic inscriptions of the
originals. These the Mohammedan
writer's call Tyrian ("5urp') dinars, and
the Christian chr0nIClers nams the coin

the besant SdTTdCenuS, which Is the orig

were now worked by the skill and
enterprise OF Venetian merchants, these
sarracentate Desants in imitation OF
their Moslem neIghb0rs, and the ourren-
cy was readily accepted by the native
races. These adventurous coiners knew
not the perilous position they mad made
for themselves. In the innocence oil
their hearts they had probably never
thought OF The lmpiely Of issuing coins
inscribed with the formulas Of Islam,
however indecipherable, but they were
soon 10 learn The error OF their ways.
