FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS
Over the Tubs.

Up from the laundry, all day long,
Comes the Groom of little song;
Low and plaintiVe, it's measures seem
To rise and melt with the wreaths OF steam.
Mrs. McGill in the mist below,
Heaping the linen, snow on snow,
Sings at her task as the moments fly;
Still as the busy hours go by,
Mrs. McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Bare are her strong arms; rough and red
Her hands, with striving for daily bread.
While she works in the steam and foam,
Thoughts of the 'chlder left at home,
Come to cheer her. till, after all,
The day seems short and the washing small;
For mother love, WITH tender spell,
Is working its ceaSeleSS miracle;
While Mrs. McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and Washes washes and scrubs.
Down through the areaway there floats
The cry of the newsboy, strident notes
Telling how on field of fame
A warrior won him herOs name;
The sailors chung to q reeling deck
And served the guns Of a shattered wreck,
A hero mounted the ladder tall,
And plucked life from the flaming wall;
While Mrs. McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Six o'clock! And the music swells
Loud from the threats OF a thousand bells;
So at last when the shadows fall,
She draws about her faded shawl,
While sweet content in the rough, worn
face
Kindies brighter than beauty's grace.
Home she hastes, where the long day
through
The little ones watched and waited. too
While Mrs McGill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.
Mrs. McGill, your humble name
Has no place in the rolls of fame
Little it matters to such as you;
Brief the page is the names are few,
Still I know that your faithful love
Finds a place in the scroll above.
SO when my heart grows weak and faint
This is the thought that. stops complaint:
Mrs McGilI over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.

An Elastic Currency.

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 of hardened
vegetable gum, the original source Of
supply being the bola tree and a bluff
of emery sand.
Dozens of trusty officials are constant
" employed in collecting bola gum and
sitting and pounding the sand which is
to be used as alloy"
The coins so struck are not on y unique
and curious on account of the material
used in their composition, 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 piece of money" can be &C.
quired with such small expenditure of
time or goods as the bola gum ''coin;"
consequently such pieces are valued very
lightly by those unlucky enough to come
into possession of few millions of such
disks.
1t is almost impossible to frame a
very definite conception Of the small
value of this standard of exchange. A
cent could readily be exchanged for TO-
600 freshly minted bola gum coins
