Money Made of Bola Gum.

The mint officials of the Malayan
Peninsula claim the distinction of coin
ing the most unique piece of money
now in use in the world. This curious
coin is simply a thin disk or wafer of
hardened vegetable gum, the original
source of supply being the bola tree
and a bluff of emery sand. Dozens of
trusty officials are constantly employ
ed in collecting bola gum and sitting
and pounding the saud which is to be
used as alloy. The coins so struck are
not only unique and curious on account
of the material used in their compost
ton, but because they have the least
exchange value of any medium, unless
we except the shell money Of the west
coast Of Africa. No other pieces of
money in existence can be acquired
with such small expenditure of time or
goods as the bola gum coin; conse-
quently, such pieces are valued very
lightly by those unlucky enough to
come into possession of a few millions
of such disks. 1t is almost impossible
for a European to frame a very definite
conception of the small value Of this
standard of exchange. A cent could
be readily exchanged for 10000 freshly
minted bola gum coins-London Chron-
icle.

An Old-Time Gamblers Reason for
EscheWfnE Poker.
A party of w%ell-dressed men met at
a leading hotel last night. A game OF
poker was proposed, when n of them
said:
81 never play; so you will have to
excuse me, gentlemen"
"Why, l played with you several
years ago." said one.
'Yes; but since that time my mother
died. For years before her death |
was a professional gambler, and 1t
nearly broke her heart, for she had al
ways hoped 1 would make my mark in
some honorable profession. At her
death-bed. three years ago, l promised
her that l would touch another
card; and l have kept my word. l
never WILL"
His companions were visibly affected
by this candid recital, and one OF them
said:
Il honor you for your course, n we
will not play poker tonight. l suppose
you went into a profession when you
ceased your career as a gambler, and
hope you have been successful"
Very" replied the reformed card.
player. Gin the three years l am
about $4,000 ahead, and l would not
have been worth a dollar if l had con
tinued in my former course"
May l ask what profession you now
follow?"
Certainly. 1 am a bookmaker. Bet
on horse races exclusively"
Then silence reigned.-Boston Post.

Vanderbilt Wa. in the Game.

Z II ~ "AAC
'Tll bet those fellows won't have q
bit of fun" said an official of the New
York Central railroad, who was watch
ing the Vanderbilt party start for the
Pacific coast. Then he added: II don't
suppose they will have a single game.
If they did and some n held a pretty
fair hand Cornelius would raise him a
million dollars, and then where would
the man with the cards beg This
reference to poker games led to n of
the party telling a story about William
H. Vanderbilt. Mr.. Vanderbilt had a
few friends out with him on a trip in
his private car, and a quiet little game
Of poker was proposed. The tacit
agreement was that the limit was to be
So. The game went along with the
usual fluctuations, until suddenly one
of the party caught an excellent hand.
He took advantage Of the fact that it
was not an ironclad limit, but only a
tacit agreement. and insisted on rails
ing $50. w. H. Vanderbilt's eyes
twinkled. When it came around to his
bet he "saw" the $50 and then said:
'Ill raise you $4,000" But you can
not do that" protested the first bettor.
"Oh, yes, 1 can," responded Mr.. Van
derbilt serenely. The first bettor threw
down his cards and said: well, I
know I have the best hand, but / can
not see that raise" '"Too bad" was
Mr.. Vanderbilt's p%hilosophic remark;
''you ought not to have broken through
the fence on the start."-New York

ridden the goat" he turns a deaf ear
to it all and selfishly leaves his neigh
Dor to find it OUT for himself.
Did you ever compare riding a BIZ
cycle to climbing a ladder? The sim
ilarity is surprising, and in order to
demonstrate the idea more forcibly
three illustrations are given herewith,
showing a man climbing a ladder in
three different positions. The first po-
sition is represented by A, whose lad
der is placed in a position almost per-
pendicular; his hands are grasping the
two rails of the ladder. AS he pro-
ceeds to ascend, step by step, he has
to grasp tightly with his hands or he
will fall backward, because the point
of equilibrium is ahead of his weight;
or, in other words, his feet are ahead
of his body. His upper-limb muscles
are doing very much more than would
be necessary should the ladder be
placed at a lower angle. When he
steps up a step he raises his entire
weight, plus the pull" by the grasp
Of the hands, which pulp acts direct
ly upon the muscles Of the back and
abdomen, helping largely toward ex-
haustion. In fact, the action of any
unnecessary muscle tends to exhaus-
ton, and exhaustion invites discour-
agement, especially to a bicycle rider.
If A climbs very far his back or alb
domcn will be the first to feel the
strain; yet his position or the ladder
is about the same as that adopted by
the average beginner on the bicycle,

who will continue to ride in this posi-
ton unless he be of an observing dis
position, or unless some friend actual
ly teaches him better. Even then he
will. argue that he has reasons for
doing so; first, because it appears to
be common sense to sit erect as if
riding horseback; second, because the
machines are built that way-except
the racing machines, and of course he
does not want a racing machine or
any "bending over" He has read too
many articles on the evils Of bending
over.
Now. let us look at B. Did you ever
stand at a public stairway and give
notice to the position people most al
ways assume when climbing the
stairs? Do so, and you will observe
that they all lean forward a little
slightly bending the back. Why is
this? Nature tells us that it makes
the work easier, and we certainly do
find it so. The bicycle rider who has
found this position has found the
easiest position. He can travel more
miles in a day and feel less tired. He
has passed into the second and higher
stage of riding a bicycle. He now
possesses greater possibilities, and his
interest in cycling is doubled. He has
made a discovery; he afpires to take
his next long run with a set of wheel
men who ride faster and farther than
his usual companions. What was only
a fad to this man has now taken root
in him and he becomes an enthusiast.
He is criticised by the inexperienced
multitude for 'becoming a scorcher,"
or for cleaning overs" but you will no.
