Ls paysan ct 10 miroir
C'etait au temps GU Ron ne con-

Jnsque.la, il ne venait a lid6e
de personne de s'admirer. Cest
q peine 81 Pom Sc regardait dams
fonde limpide du ruisseau GU dams
le poll DIES beaux meubles.
Or, On jour IN paysan trouva
sur son chpmin IN charmant petit
miroir encadre de nacre, perdu
sans doute par quelque jolie demoi
selle.
CONNIE il n'avait jamais WI de
glace, il s'ecria en- voyant ses
traits !! "Quoi, VOLTA mon pere qui
m'apparait: c'est lui, c'est bien
lui !n
Eft dams son amour flial, il partlt
important sur son cnur lie miroir
Quill croyait 6tre une plaque Ell
chantee. II lie cacha avec prudence
dams un grand vase ct D'osa meme
montrer sa trouvaille a sa femme.
Dix fois par Jour, il veDait furti-
vement cOnSiderer les traits de son
pere.
Ce manege d'allees ct venues
tinit par %exasperer sa femme qui
etait tres,jalouse, CONNIE plusleurs
de son sexe. Ellie fit tant de per-
QUESTIONS dams tOus les coins de sa
demeure quelle decouvrit lie fameux
miroir.
Ellie ne Pedt pas plus tot entire
les mains, qu'elle murmura en-
palissant:-Ciel! VOLTA une femme!
All VOLTA pourqnoi il Sc cache! II
ne maine plus! il m'elolgne pour
voir celle-ci. Ellie Sc nit a pleurer
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
4 peine le brave homme est-il
rentre quill volt sa femme accourir
a lni furieuse: "Gueux, dit ellie,
vous me delaissez pour d'autre.'
En- montrant la glace ellie criait:
Je lie vols la, la, REGARDED:
LIE pauvre mari croyait rover.
Comment? je te delaissef c'est
faux, c'est faux; je maine que tot.
-Menteur!
Ellie lui fourre lie miroir sous lie
nez.
-Mais je tie jure quill ny a pas
d'aurre femme que tot lei. Vols
toi-m6me.
Et il lui repasse lie miroir.
-Coquin, tn to moques de moi,
tn oses soutenir que ce nest pas lie
portrait dune femme.
DE nouveau lie mlroir passait ct
Iepassait CONNIE une navette, ct
les grOs mots p%leuvaient de plus en-
plus aigres, a lie brave homme
commeneait a perdre patience.
La femme s'arr6tait ct disait i:
Passe encore 81 ellie etait jolie,
mails voyez, c'est un monstre.
On allait venir aux arguments
f%rappants quand un vieillard q
barbe grise passa lentement ct
vint demander la cause de leur
querelle.
-J'ai trouve, dit lie mari, cette
plaque enchantee qui me montre
pimage cherie de mon pere; vous
pouvez voir vous.meme.
Ne lie croyez pas, 1eplique sa
moitie, c'est la figure dune femme,
dun monstre.
-Passez-moi la chose dit lie
vleillaId impossible.
Alors prenant lie miroir, il le
considere avec surprise, s'essuie
les veux, regarde, regarde encore.
Entiu, apres un grand silence, il
dit:
-Vous nagez tous deux dams

Notifications in the System of Coinage
Proposed.
The Federal Congress OF the Republic OF Mex
leo has now under consideration a new system
OF coinage, which Is designed to replace the old
system, not only in It's metric arrangement but
in the fineness of Inc metal Tue present die
used in coinage was adopted In August, 1928,
and was imperfec;ly executed. An attempt was
made TO improve II in 1867, but the change was
unsuccessful for obvious reasons, aud on May
20, 1873, there was return to the old standard
or type Of coinage.
The system under consideration Is as follows:
The coinage TO consist Of pieces OF gold silver
and copper or bronze; the monetary unit to be
the silver dollar, 9C3-1000 fine, and weighing
q grams 13 milligrams. The SUBDIVISIONS TO be:
The 20-cent piece, weighing grams 415 MILL
grams; 10-ccnt piece, 10 weigh grams 707
milIigTams; scent piece, 10 weigh l gram 354
mllliErams; all Of them 903-100O fine. The
measurements 10 be: The collar, SO mllllmeters;
the 2O-cent piece, - millimeters; tile l0-ceut
piece, II mlllimeters; the scent piece, IA MILL
meters. The variations permitted from the re-
