perceives that he is about to die he
sends for the priest and begins to bar
gain with him about the cost of his
funeral. The moment he dies all pots,
pans and kettles in the house are turned
upside down to prevent his soul taking
refuge in any of them, and great care is
taken to prevent either man or animal
especially cat or dog-from stepping
acros his body, " otherwise, in the
opinion of his family, he would turn
into a vampire. and 80 be q continual

Aluminium for Coin.

1t is suggested in England that alu-
minum be used for coming pieces of the
value of G5. The advantage to be
gained thereby is that the metal lie 80
light that il taken from the pocket in
the dark it would be instantly recog-
nized as neither gold nor silver. Also
the weight of lead and pewter alloys
would make it impossible to pass off
spurious aluminium coins. A serious
DIR. wback will be found in the rapidly
increasing cheapness of aluminium. To
be OF any use the coin would have to
possess ar intrinsic value. and an
aluminium coin worth f5, even at pres
ent prices, would have q weight and
bulk decidedly burdensome to carry
and inconvenient for general use.
