Tho World Has way OF Doing Thinga
Backward.
Did 1t ever strike you as being at all
peculiar that we should use the dollar
mark 80 before instead of after the lE-
ures in expressing the sum Of s, 10, 20
or any other number OF dollars? We
may say twenty-five dollars" plain
enough for anyone to understand, but
as soon as we put the expression into
figures and characters 1t Is dollars
twenty-five" ($25) instead of 25$, as It
should be. Nor is this all that is pecu1
liar in this connection. In every coun7
try which has written language and
a system Of coinage the abbreViation
for the unit Of value precedes the ng-
ures. In England the pound mark G)
Is used In the same manner that the
dollar mark is used in this country,
while the same popularity Is notice
able in Germany, where the abbrevla-
tion m. (fOr mark) appears preceding
the number, just as the French abbreVi-
alton fir. (for france is used in France
If authorizations are not used the leg.
end is more apt to be correct. We find
that in Mexico they have "2h pesos"
instead of ''p 21S," as one might expect,
and in Newfoundland they have plain
two-dollar piece. So, too, in France,
where the abbreviation Is not used we
find such pieces as 40 francs" "2O
francs" and 40 francs" In Germany
they have piece marked "X thaler, =

has been suggested that we use ouI
money abbreviation backward because
the Romans in expressing pounds" al

was used 1t always preceded the figures

How Unused Railway Tickets May Be

do neither, and accept the loss when
the ticket is worth less than a dollar.
Indeed, many men do not realizs thai
railway companies stand ready to re-
deem unused tickets, even Of small
value, so that the companies must b(
richer by many thousands Of dollarl
per year by reason Of this neglect or
ignorance. Every railway ticket beara
the name Of the general passenger
agent Of the road issuing the same. II
is a simple matter to inclose the ticket
with letter directed to the general
passenger agent, asking him to refund
the money paid, and explaining the rea'
son why the ticket is left unused IN
the hands OF the purchaser. 1t Is cour'
teous to inclose stamped envelope In
which the money may be returned
When all these things have been done
the company usually acknowledges the
receipt Of the ticket holders communi.
cation and promises to investigate the
matter. The investigation consists II
the proper Identification Of the ticket
and little bookkeeping to set all right
in the accounts. Then the purchaser
receives from the company a check fol-
the amount due, along with letter re-
questing acknowledgment on the part
Of the recipient. That closes the trans
action, and there is no material loss on
either side.

Performed Some Acts That We're No ton

An incident not on the bills occurred
during Ringing Brothers circus per.
Torrance the other day, says Boston
Herald. During number on the pro-
gram in which the several rings and
stages Of the show are used by seriea
Of trained animal acts, a troupe Of
monkeys were performing in one ring,
when tall young Vermonter, with just
enough Of mountain dew under his belt
to make him rather numerous, threw
a half-pint bottle Of liquor into the
arena. Paddy-Rooski, one Of the per-
forming monkeys, no sooner saw the
bottle than he ran away from his train
er, snatched 1t from the ground and,
with the quick instinct Of the eaters
Of everything" or the "bandarlog," az
Rudyard Kipling calls them, pulled the
cork, and before he could be prevented
poured the fiery liquid down his throat.
The liquor took an almost immediate
effect, and Paddy-Rooski had a high
old time and performed some pranka
that were evon more amusing than
those on the program. He leered cum
ningly at his companions, tottered
about the ring and refused to take his
position among the other monkeys, at
the same time jibbering and chattering
in way that only needed words to
make an intelligent drunk. Prof. An.
dress tried every means known to the
monkey trainers art to subdue the
hilarious Paddy-Rooski, but to no pur'
pose. From his gleeful state he soon
merged into one of anger and proceed
ed to do up the other members Of the
monkey troupe in regular pugillstiG
style. One Of the attendants secured
a small net, and throwing it over the
intoxicated monkey secured him and
carried him into the dresslng-room. AS
Paddy-Rooski vanished behind the
dresslng-room he let out yell that
would have done credit to a Kansas
farmer full Of bootleg whisky"

This plant is much noted and cul-
tivated in England and France. 1t is
said to be native to England, but that
its culture began first in France, where
it was doubtless named. 1t is especially
fitted for limestone soils, especially
where the limestone comes to within
three or four feet of the surface. The
chalk districts in England are the scene
Of extensive culture Of this plant, as
the chalk Is but one form Of lime. It
does not do well where there is no
lime.
When young and tender sainfoin will
not endure the cold, but after the sec
ond or third year 1t becomes more
hardy. There are many parts of the
United States where limestone soils
abound and where this plant would
doubtless prove Of great value.
Where 1t is cultivated In England 1t
Is allowed to remain four years on the
same ground, after which the ground is
put into other crops for a period of
four years. When the sainfoin is to be
put onto a piece Of land 1t is generally
sowed with oats, the sainfoin seed be-
ing put on at the rate Of four bushels
per acre. 1t is frequently pastured for
the first two years after being sown, as
the first and second years do not gen.
orally yield large crops Of hay.
On soils well-suited to its cultlva-
ton, 1t will grow for six or eight years,
when it will be driven out by weeds
and grasses. Flowing the land after
salnfoin is difficult, as the roots are
large and tough.
Sainfoin should be cut at poisoning
time whether it is to be used for soil
ing or for hay. 1t is very liable to be
damaged by rain, in curing, as the
stems are hollow. The aftermath makes
good feed for horses, sheep and cattle
The seed ripens in July, but as the
lower part of the head natures so much
earlier than the upper, and these seeds
are larger and more plump, 1t Is best
to harvest them when the lower ones
are fully ripe, as they will become liable
to be shaken out and lost II the heads
stand until the upper portion is ready
to harvest.

taste or artistic intellects, yet Her
Maiesty's creams are popularity regard
ed by the British public with feelings
akin to veneration, in spite Of the fact
that they are foreign-bred, and not ex-
actly very sorty lot. Apropos Of the
aforesaid creams-which, as all the
world who is interested in horses proba-
bly, is well aware, hail from Hanover
it may be said that the Herrenhausen
stud, whence they come, likewise pos
sesses a strain Of pure white Royal
horses, a great popularity amongst
which lies in the fact that they are as
white as milk when foaled, and do not
grow lighter in coat, as is the case with
the ordinary grey horse, with increased
age. The pure white foal which was
on view last week at Darlington was
quite lusus naturae, especially as, be-
ing dark in eye, there can be nothing Of
the albino about it; but If scientifically
bred from, it will be interesting to learn
whether it is or is not possible to found
a strain of white horses. Greys are still
fairly plentiful, but breed Of whites
might be worth encouraging, as, beyond
all question, there are plenty Of persons
who buy horses who would be attracted
by the rarity of the color.
