The police system of the city of
Mexico beats anything in America.
A Mexican policeman is strong, fine
looking young man, wearing a military
uniform and openly displaying a six
shooter. He does not spend his time

crowd of people. His beat is the

Currency of the Cannibal Islands.

Mr.. Walter Coote has described
some curious moneys of the New He
brides and the Solomon Islands. On
one of the islands he noticed a neatly
kept house, which he was told was the
money-house. Entering it, he found
a number Of mats hanging from the
roof, beneath which fire was con-
stantly kept up, under the effect of
which they became covered with a
black glistening coating and adorned
with festoons of SCOT. 1t was mans
business to keep the fire always burn
ing, and so low as not to scorch the
mats A well-colored mat is worth
about as much as a well-grown vigo-
rous boar, This is the strangest of
all kinds of money, for it must never
be taken from the money-hOuse, even
when the title is transferred from one
owner to another. The inhabitants Of
Santa Cruz Island use for money,
rope-ends, about an inch thick, and
ornamented with scarlet feathers,
which are worn about the waist. The
traveller could not obtain new coins of
of this kind, but found them current
everywhere. The specimens he bought
were already old, and the feathers
grown dingy. The money of the Sol
ONION Islands consists of neatly work
ed pieces of shell Of about the size of
our shirt-buttons. They are strung
on strings about four yards long, and
are distinguished under the names of
red and white money. Dog-teeth are
of higher value, and comparable tc
our gold coins. They are usually
worn on string around the neck
Mr.. Coote saw necklace of this kinf
that was valued at about one hundred
dollars. Marble rings are also worn
on the breast for ornaments, and as
valuable money.

A Laundry Romance.

Five years ago a remarkably bright
and pretty girl of IL worked in San
Francisco laundry. The son of
wealthy parents fell in love with her,
She returned his passion, but said she
would not marry him, as he wished,
because she was uneducated and
coarse. Then he offered to send her
away to school. She accepted this
offer. During the ensuing four years
she was in Montreal convent, very
apt and studious. The training
wrought all the change that was desir-
able. and the wedding took place. with
long tour in Europe afterwards. The
couple returned to San Francisco late
ly. To show that she had neither for
gotten nor was ashamed of her former
employment, the bride gave grand
supper to those of her old companions
who could be brought together

The Grant Family.

Gen. Grant was lineal descendant
of Matthew Grant, who emigrated
from Devon, England, to Dorchester,
Mass, in 1880, and removed therefrom
in 1886 to Windsor, Connecticut,
where he became town clerk and chief
surveyor. One of the descendants,
Noah Grant, was captain of a COnnec-
ticut military company sent against
Crown Point in 1855, and was killed
in action at the battle of Lake George.
A second Noah Grant, grandfather
of General Grant, served during the
revolution and afterwards removed to
Westmoreland county, Pa, where
Jesse Root Grant was born. The fami-
ly moved to Ohio in 1899. At that
time schools were almost entirely un-
known in that country. and the only
education Jesse Root Grant obtained
was derived from a few months
schooling when he was about fifteen
years of age. His father, although
tolerably we'll educated himself, took
little interest in instructing his chill
dren, and the family could not well af-
ford to seek abroad for the advantages
which they lacked at home. Young
Grant had a matter of-fact turn of
mind, and seeing that he was destined
to obtain his living by the sweat of
his brow, he cast about for some re-
munerative employment He finally
selected the tannery business. In
1920 he removed to Point Peasant, a
small village 25 miles from Cincinnati.
! Here he became acquainted with his
future wife. This lady, Miss Hannah
Simpson, was born in November, 1893,
in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania,
where she was brought up and educat-
ed. In 1918 she, with her fathers
family, emigrated to Ohio and settled
( in Claremont county. In June, 1921,
{ Mr.. Jesse r. Grant and Miss Simpson
married and settled at Point Pleasant.
On the 9th of April, 1922 their first
child, Hiram Ulysses, WAS born.--Phil-

New Theories About Eating.

DR.. r. M. Hodges, once read a paper
before the Boston Society for Medical
Improvement, in which he touched on
this question upon which doctors disa-
gree, and said: '1t is common i'm
preston that to take food Immediately
before going to bed and to sleep is un--
wise. Such suggestion is answered
by reminder that the instinct of ami
mails prompts them to sleep as soon as
they have eaten; and in summer an
after-dinner nap. especially when that
meal is taken at midday, is luxury
INDUCED in by many. If the ordinary
hour of the evening meal is six or
seven o'clock, and of the first morning
meal Z or S o'clock, an interval of
elve hours, or more, elapses with
out food, and for persons whose nutri-
tion is at fault this is altogether too
long period of fasting. That such

Grants PeculiaritIes.

In battle or in command he wore a
blue blouse and no sword, a plain
slouch hat, dark trousers, and top
boots. Even his horse equipments
did not indicate his rank. When he
went to Europe in 1878 he was COM
PEELED to buy new uniform, as his
old ono was worn out. He bought
but three while general of the army.
At table he ate but little, and that of
the plainest, and in the latter years of
his life used no wine. As an escort
for ladies, the assurance of one of the
brightest and most lovely women who
has graced Washington social life, that
General Grant was the most accepta-
Bile Of all the escorts she had ever had
at dinner" is warrant enough for the
statement that he was a gentleman in
social life and at the table. lie was
entirely moral man, never using
profane language, and had contempt
for vice and immoral men. He was
fond of children and they of him-b be-
cause of positive evidences of benevo-
lence of both head and heart. He
stood fatigue readily, and could go
without food or sleep for long time
On horseback he sat easily and rode
with grace-as West Point men usual
ly do. He had keen memory for
those who abused him, either by
speech or in the press, and never for
got them. He hated and liked with
manly vigor. He had one old-time
virtue, fast becoming obsolete, devel-
oped in the highest-he liked his

and only put in caches alter freezing
weather has come on. The general
impression of people is that they
drink oil (rendered from fats) of all
kinds almost as copiously as we drink
water, and yet l have seldom seen
them do this, and understand that it
is only done to avert starvation, except
salmon OIL l doubt if they use as
much oil as some civilized nations.
In the shape of huge chunks of blub-
Der from the whale. seal, or walrus,
they consume enormous quantities.
but to drink it in the pure state, or to
even use it as dressing for any other
cooking, is very rare indeed. The
Esquimaux in and around the mouth
Of Blacks Great Fish River catch
quantities of fat salmon, and great
deal of oil is obtained from these fat
fish. This oil have seen them drink
and have so used it myself. About
the middle of December, 1879, in our
midwinter sledge journey from the
Arctic Sea to Hudson Bay, our supply
of toodnoo (reindeer fat) ran very
low, and so did the thermometer, and
we noticed the disappearance of our
fatty food very conspicuously in the
greater effort that was necessary to
keep warm. After matters had been
running this way two or three days,
one of my Innuit sledgemen came to
me and showed me couple of recep-
tacles, being reindeer bladders, each
holding nearly a quart of salmon oil,
and poured me out gill of the stuff
from one, which he told me to drink
to drive away the cold. My repug-
nance for the odor l soon overcame,
knowing the usual after effect, and
downed the dose as an old topper would
his morning drink, but with a horrible
grimace. l might add that the effect
of warmth, a pleasant glow all oveI
the body, was apparent about as soor
as if l had taken that amount of alco
hol, although one would imagine that
the oil would have to digest according
to known laws of assimilation before
producing warmth. Several times af

and always found the same effect O.

Dairy Cows In Switzerland.

An American, who has spent some
time in France, writes: Now that CO.
operative cheese and butter "farmeries
are the order of the day, wish to
draw attention to the special breed Of
cattle in the Canton Of Appenzell.
The cows are good mixers, small but
we'll built, admirably adapted for
mountainous regions, and easily cared
for. They are small feeders, and their
milk is as rich as Jersey, and abun-
dant as Kerry or West Highland COW.
They yield from fourteen to twenty
quarts of milk day, but the average
daily yield for the year is about eight
quarts. The cows are hired for the
summer pasturage on the slopes of the
Alps, for 16 or 20 francs, and descend
in the autumn, comparatively fat. The
proprietor himself, or member of his
family acts as herd, and superintends
the sale of the milk at the central de-
pot. or more generally converts it him
self into cheese. He may have from
twenty to sixty cows. The latter
never exceed six hundred weight.
They receive the bull when 18 months
old, and when they have had six
calves are fattened for the butcher.
Young bulls of 2 to 3 years old are
selected to serve. Cows intended for
the summer highland pasture are pre-
ferred if they have calved in Febru-
ary, and for lowland grazing if in
November. Calves destined for the
butcher are only allowed to suckle
their mother three or four times. They
are then fed from the pail twice a
day, milk and water at first, then pure
milk mixed with the refuse of the
cheese factory; but they are finished
off on goats milk. The cows are
milked twice day, and receive salt
every second day. They are daily
curried, and occasionally washed.
When wet, after storm or rain, they
are rubbed with a wisp of straw
this keeps away, it is considered,

cow as an Arab loves his horse; he
employs neither whip, stick, nor dog.
