Small Change IN California.

Just now there is a curious mosaic of
customs in California with respect to
change. In early times no miner or bus
mess man expected to give or take the
exact change. Anything less than a
quarter was too Insignificant for any
Californian to recognize. A New York
newspaper was sold at two bits. A quar-
ter of dollar was recognized as change.
Finally dime came to be recognized as
small change, although it was very hard
for Forty-niner to come down. He
was willing to sleep in his blankets and
do-his own cooking, but to recognize
small change was too much Tor him. In
time the five cent piece made its appear
ance. 1t was an honest silver coin, and
was gaining ground rapidly. But after
q while five cent nickel made its APP
appearance base, bastard coin, well
calculated to excite contempt. There
are now two usages in this state-one of
which is of pioneer times and the other
of more modern date One discards any
sum less than dime, and on all small
transactions will take 90 per cent. addi-
tional rather than make the exact
change. The other recognizes the fact
that times have changed; that an arti-
Gle sold for dime is not worth Is cents,
and that it is not honest to take it

The Question of Quota.

When the governor of Oregon tele-
graphed to the secretary of war, at the
beginning of the Indian outbreak, that
temporary issue of arms was necessary
to enable him to protect the settlers, he
received an answer as follows: You
have more than your quota of arms"
The governor, however, was equal to the
situation. He telegraphed in reply:
" We have more than our quota of In
dians." The required arms were there
upon at once issued.

THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BE EX-

Persons who have had little experience as adver-
tisers often have pretty clear understanding of
what they would like to do, but entirely gnor-
ant of the probable cost

vertising calling for investment of 5000. and

having contemplated an expenditure exceeding 500

question had been asked: " How much money are
you prepared to devote TO this adyertisng?n
