PRICE THREE CENTS.


1t is said that the great ape of Siam is
in great request among the Siamese mer-
chants as cashiers in their counting
houses. Vast quantities of base coins
are known to be in circulation in Siam,
and, according to advices from that
scorched up little oriental kingdom, no
living human can discriminate between
the good and bad coinage with as much
accuracy as these apes, These monkey
cashiers possess the faculty of distin-
gushing the rude Siamese counterfeits
in such an extraordinary degree that no
trained banker can compete with them
in their unique avocation.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatively put each coin presented to
him in his mouth and tests it with grave
deliberation. From two to five seconds
is all the time this intelligent animal re-
quires in making up his decision. If the
coin is all right it is carefully deposited
in the proper receptacle; if base it is
thrown violently to the floor, while the
coin tester makes known his displeasure
at being presented with the counterfeit
by giving vent to much angry chatter

A Chinese Girl's Life.

The Chinese girls education begins at
six years of age. Then she must submit
to the bandaging of her feet, which cruel
custom cripples the poor child and
causes her untold suffering. But as
small feet are considered mark of great
beauty this ,arbarous custom, which
has obtained in China for ages, is still
practiced. The bandages are changed
as often as they become soiled, but the
practice continues until the girl reaches
the age of nineteen. Sometimes, when
about ten, the homes of the toe are broken
to prevent further growth.
AT nineteen the girl is married. But
courtship, as it is known among the
Americans, isnot understood or tolerated
by the Chinese. Mutual affection is not
the foundation of the marriage, but the
children are betrothed in infancy by
their parents, and when grown are
obliged TO fulfill the engagement. Phil

COuldu't Dance.

One of our northern friends who has
been travelling in the south found him
self at q railroad station at which quite
a crowd of negro boys were gathered
Some of the passengers amused them
selves by tossing nickels out among the
crowd to see the urchins scramble for
them. One strong fellow managed to
get the lions share of the contributions,
using his superior skill and muscular
power to good advantage and imposing
upon the weaker and more awkward.
With his mouth, which answered the
purpose of pocketbook, full of coin
obtained thus by hauling, pulling and
showing, he was invited to dance for the
delectation of the company, whereupon
he unhesitatingly declared that it was
impossible, for, as he said, "Pse got re-
hgion." That was where he drew the
line. He could pound and shove and
misuse his superior strength to obtain
money from his weaker companions, but
he couldn't dance.-Richmond Religious
Herald.

Election day is an exciting one in
Greece. The last one was especially 30
in Athens. The people were 10 vote for
members of parliament. The election
occurs every four years. For a week
previous to the polling all the men and
boys were parading the streets, headed
by band. The Greeks are blessed with
most powerful lungs, and their shouts of
''Vivap fairly drowned the braying of
the donkeys. The interest was so in
tense that the young children shared it,
and an American lady, passing ''mite
Of a boy" ON the street, who was escort
ing little girl home from school, gal
lautly carrying her books, heard him
ask her if she had vote!
The voting takes place in the churches
on Sunday, consequently the customary
service is dispensed with. In the church
to which an American gentleman sue
ceeded in finding access there were
ranged round the church forty-two
boxes, that being the number of the
candidates.
These boxes were something the shape
of tea box, one half painted white,
with Eyes" on it, and the other half
black, with ''No" on it.
Tin tubes projected from the front
outward. Looking through these tubes
one could see that the boxes were divided
into two compartments. Beside each
box stood a representative of the candi-
date, and over the box appeared the
candidates picture. Each voter, as he
entered the church, had his name and
address registered, and check given
him. The above mentioned representa-
tive then gave the voter a bullet, or
vote, made of lead.
Formerly the dishonest voter would
slip another bullet up his coat sleeve,
and as he raised his arm to the tube the
bullet would roll down, and two votes
instead of one be cast; but the repre-
sentative now watches to prevent cheat
ing. Negative votes as well as afirma-
tive must also be cast; that is, if voter
objects to q candidate, he must cast a
negative bullet. The voter, of course,
casts one vote at each box, or forty two
in all.-Cor. Youths Companion.

A oueer pistinction in callfornia.

There were some queer distinctions in
those days. One Sunday, going to the
butchers booth, l found customer
ahead of me, who inquired if he could
not have piece of a liver which was
hanging on tree in plain sight
Don't know if you can or not" said
the butcher.
s'Id like to know why? Eve been
trading with you all along, and never
asked for liver before; but want some
variety now"
'sStand around and let me look at you.
No, you can't have any liver"
''Well, whyf
"There amt enough to go round. I
have to have some rule about givin' it
out, and l have decided that no miner
can have scrap of liver from me unless
he wears a canvas patch on the seat of
his pants.'
The canvas patch was a badge of prece-
dence as well recognized in our camp on
the Trinity as the star of the Order of
the Garter is in Great Britain. e. g..
Waite in Century.

To Cure Corpulency.

To open the sewerage system of the
body and expel the waste matters which
have accumulated is of the first impor-
tance in the treatment of corpulence
Hot water and exercise will largely do
this. That the overworked digestive Or
gans may be relieved the quantity of
food should be the smallest possible con-
sistent with strength. Foods which bur
den digestion or favor the production of
fat should be excluded from the diet.
Every corpulent person who observes
these simple rules will soon find himself
growing lighter in weight and his gen
eral health improving, physical as well
as mental His gain will correspond to
the degree of faithfulness with which he
adheres to this regimen. And once he is
back to near the standard of weight he
will need no urging to ever afterward
obstruct threatening corpulency. .-Bos-
ton Herald.
