SOAP Used as money.

Harpers Round Table has an amusing
account of a traveller who went many
years ago to Mexico and found the ma
tivesl using a strange kind of currency
Says he:
In one of the small towns 1 bought
some lime and gave the girls one dollar
in payment. BY way of chance she re-
turned me forty-nine pieces of soap the
size of a small biscuit. l looked at her
in establishment and she returned my look
with equal surprise, when police officer
who had witnessed the incident FASTENED
to inform me that for small sums soap
was legal tender in many portions of the
country.
Il examined my change and found that
each cake was stamped with the name of
a town and of a manufacture authorized
by the government The cakes of soap
were worth three farthings each After
ward in my travels frequently received
similar change. Many of the cakes show
ed signs of having been in the washtub
but that, l discovered, was not at all I'M
common. Provided the stamp was not
obliterated the soap did not lose any value
as currency Occasionally a man would
borrow a cake of a friend, wash his hands
and return it with thanks. 1 made use
Of my pieces more than once in my bath
and subsequently spent them"

Courage nnd Tenderness Combined

Here's story of girl whose coura ge
brought the blush of shame to a number
of strong men, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. A trolley car of the Peoples Traction
Company while bowling along German
town avenue, near Ontario street, yester-
day morning, struck a small deg. The an
imal rolled under the car and became
wedged between the motor box and the
truck frame. The car was stopped and the
poor dog lay there, bowling pftifully Ii
was found to be impossible to extricate
the dog from the outside, and the con-
ductor accordingly went into the car and
lifted the trap IN the floor. The dog lay
directly under the opening, with his mouth
gaping wide in agony. At the sight of the
dog the conductors courage forsook him
and he gave up mis- intention of extricat-
ing the poor brute. There We're about As
people in the car. twolthirds men, and
five of them policemen. None of these men,
however, offered to relieve the dogs suf-
fering. The pretty young woman who sat
near the open trap appealed to the men
to take the dog out. No one responded,
and so she stopped down herself and lifted
the dog carefully from under the truck
The other women applauded her loudly,
and the men Joined in rather sheepishly

1t should be gratifying to all Georgians,
and to all Americans, to note the at
tentions that are being paid in England
TO the Hon. Charles F. Crisp. He has
been entertained by the speaker of the
House of Commons, has received marked
attention from a number of English states
men. and has been entertained by several
other important though unofficial
personages. In a certain sense
Mr.. Crisp is representa-
tive American statesman in England, and
the courtesies he is receiving are intended
as compliment to the American peo-
pie as well as TO the recipient as an in

Crisp and his country that is being dis

The extra election in the Tenth dis
tict has been fixed for date less than
two months off. The time is ample, how
ever, for the candidates to do all of the
campaigning that will be necessary. In
deed, it is probable that even a shorter
campaign would have suited the voters
better. In the latter part of this month
and during September the farmers win be
very busy with the harvest and it would
not be surprising if they should fail TO
turn out largely to the campaign meet
ings. 1t may safely be assumed that the
farmers have about made up their minds
not to temporize longer with the popu-
list humbuggery, and that on oct. 2 they
will take a day off and bury Tom Wat
son and his party under snow bank OF
ballots.

"The Fads OF the pay.v

At a meeting Of the Professional Wo-
mems Club in New York the other day
the "fads of the day." as followed by
women, were considered in a dozen able
papers by as many able members of the
club. Up to this time we, and possibly
a majority Of other folks. have been OF
the opinion that websters die
tionary gives correct defini-
ton of the word fad: that is, a hobby,
freak or within. 1t appears from the pa
pers read at the meeting referred to, that
the compilers Of the dictionary knew very
little about fads. and bestowed upon the
word fad much less attention than its
Importance would seem TO call for. For
lit is learned from the papers of the Pro-
fessional Women's Club that about every
thing that a woman does is a fad, that the
term is generic. and may be sub-divided
into as many heads as the proverbially
dry midsummer sermon. For instance,
Mrs. Haryot Holt Cahoon in her paper
divided all fads into three general classes,
namely, making. owning and doing"
In the first she included spinning, weav-
ing. discriminating, embroidering. deco
rating and a number of other employ
ments which most folks have an idea
are downright hard work. If being en-
gagged in useful employments like those
named is the following of fad. the growth
of the making" class of fads is greatly
to be desired.
Among the followers of fads Of the sec
ond class are the collecting iends-those
people who are always after autographs
or brass buttons. or postage stamps. or
coins. or colonial furniture. and the like
This particular species of fad, the col
lecting mania. may have certain value
as an educator. Some of the victims of
the collectors have been known to swear
in several languages and in strange oaths
never before heard in civilized countries
The third class of faddists embraces those
who do things-kiss a pug dog, for in
stance, or drink patent medicine nostrums
for imaginary ills. or wear sleeves that
are bigger than their skirts, or make po-
Htical speeches. or ride the bicycle, or
wear pants"
The foregoing will give some idea OF
the Importance of the fad from the point
of view of the members of the club
named, and shows that the new woman
substitutes the word fad in place of the
old word fashion, besides making it en-
brace lot that isn't exactly fashionabl
The tendency of the fad. employing the
term in its broad and all-embracing sense.
according to the unanimous conclusion of
the essayists of the Professional womans
Club, is in the right direction, and it's in
fiuence is elevating. And it may be that
the essayists are correct. If the fad has
been correctly defined. it is one of the
very greatest factors in the progress. OF
the world; and TO perpetrate a Hiberni-
cism, progress never goes backward.
