Eyptian cshs

Egypt ia the reservoir for all the
moneys in the world, says Cairo letter.
The coins of nearly every European
country are in daily circulation, and
even the rupee of India and Burmah is
not uncommon. The best accountant
in America might come here, with
nothing to do for three months but to
study the complicated exchange sys-
tenn; and will warrant that. even then,
these cunning money-changers could
cheat him right to his face. 1t is .
work of years to learn the relative val
ues. IL England establishes protecto-
rate here, one of the first things she
should - and doubtless would-do,
would be to stra;ghten out these mex
tricable tangles.
To begin with, there are the coins of
Egypt proper. [ pretend TO know only
few things about the financial ques-
ton here, but perhaps they will serve to
confuse the reader, and that is nv aim.
Take the plaster first. The regular or
thodox plaster is a thin silver coin,
nearly corresponding to our nickel or
picayune in value The piasters have
to be made SO thin that they crack
very easily in handling. and then they
are not taken in trade. / suppose
nearly one-third of the pissters in circu-
lation would not be taken al the banks.
Then there are silver ha f-piasters and
silver quarter piasters. Now here comes
in the first complication. The donkey
boys have got TO speaking of the half
plaster as plaster, and this usage,
which is, of course, q miSnomer, has
now become universal. Instead of the
plaster and the alf-piaster, one only
hears of the biz and little plaster, and
many a row ari ,eS every dav from
the confusion and misunderstanding
brought about by this absurd system.
But this is not AL. There is also a
series of copper piasicrs, haif-piasters.
and Guarler-pasterS. the value of which
is only one-eighih of that of the silver
coins. This outrageous confusion of
names is all among the distinctive
Egyptian coins.
A plaster is supposed to be made mp
of forty parns. whatever kind of plaster
meant. There is no coined para, but
there are copper multiples OF the para.
fives, tens and twenties. The other
pisdu gnu iOoIits huN
the silver dollar, with its fractions. The
latter is not good out of Egypt, and, al
though | often get ten or fifteen differ
ent kinds of coin in change, | seldom
get these.
The chasm between the plaster and
the higher denominations is filed up
with francs, shillings. napoleons, rubles,
forms, sovereigns, guineaS, and thou
sand and one European coins. Ninety
seven and one-balf orthodox piasters
are now reckoned as the equivalent of a
sovereign, and seventy-seyen piasters
six para as napoleon-twenty francs.
One should be particularly careful not
to get English Shillings for change.
since it is possible to lose As high as
fifty cents-American mODey-on a
single sovereign.-COr. ". o. Times

The BAzoo learns that Westover is fro mn

sues them for their crimes, has sough
shelter and protection from the woman be
swore to love, honof and cherish, and e'er
this is in Chicago trying to make his peace
with the wrouged ones who have suffered
