We have coined since 1878 more than
four hundred millions of silver dollars,
which are maintained by the govern
ment at parity with gold, and are full
legal tender for the payment of all
debts, public and private. How are
the silver dollars now in use diff

use under free coinage? They are to

he had been pleading the cause of his
countrymen with indomitable courage
and admirable skill. Yet Franklin was
not asked to write the declaration of in
dependence; and although he and Ad-
ans made a few verbal amendments,
the credit of that great state paper be-
longs to Jefferson. And why was 1t
that this responsibility was placed on
Jefferson, ant not on Franklin?
think the explanation lies in the fact
that Franklin was a humorist. Not only
was Franklin's sturdy common sense
felt to be too plain a homespun for
wear in the courts of Europe, when the
thought needed to be attired In all the
lofty rhetoric that the most fervid en-
thusiasm could produce, but also, I
fear me greatly, his colleagues were
afraid that Franklin would have his
joke. 1t would be a good joke, no doubt
probably a very good joke; but the
very best of jokes would not be in keep
ing with the stately occasion. They
were acute, those leaders of the con-
tinental congress, and they knew that
every man has the defects of his quail
ties. and that humorist is likely to be
lacking in reverence. and that the writer
of the declaration Of independence had
q theme which demanded the most rev.
erential treatment
So it was that Ben amin Franklin had
to pay the penalty of humor IN the last
century. just as Abraham Lincoln had
Ito pay it in this century. Because Lin
coin was swift to seize upon an incon-
gruity, and because he sought relief for
his abiding melancholy in playfulness,
there were not a few who refused to
take him seriously.
Even after his death there were hon.

Ptolemy of Egypt, Antigonos OF Mace
don, Magnas of Cyrene and Alexander
Of Epirus!
1t was already a splendid city in the
Fourth century B. C., in the time of his
grandfather, Chandragupta- the Greek
Sanoracottus, as we learn from the
glowing descriptions of Megasthenes,
the AMBASSADOR of the successor of AL
eNarder the Great At that time the
buildings were all of wood. like the PAL
aces and temples of Burmah in the pres
ent day. 1t is a matter of history. how.
ever, how Asoka found this capital OF
wood and left it of stone. But before
the dawn of our era this great city had
decayed with the fall Of Asoka's dy-
nasty and the smaller succeeding dy-
nasties and the transfer OF capital
elsewhere. In 400 A. d. the Chinese
pilgrim Fa Han reported that it lay
deserted and in ruins. Since the Mo-
hammedan invasion in the Twelfth CEN
fury A. ID. the very site OF this city was
forgotten. II was known to be some
where near the modern town OF Patna
In Bengal; but most of the experts and
other. who had deliberately searched
for it believed that it had been entirely
washed away by the Gauges. Then it
viii be remembered that Surgeon MAJ.
Waddell in 1892, during a flying visit
10 Patna, found that the leading land
marks of Asoka's capital still existed.
He found several sculptured stones and
images of the Asoka epoch lying on the
surface or built into houses or walls.
and these, together with the position OF
the old mounds, many of which still re-
tain their ancient names, enabled him to
fix with certainty tie limits OF Asoka's
citadel. and also to indicate roughly
the possible sites of particular buildings
for exploratory excavations, without
IL.
tions could be decisively attempted.
Unfortunately, most of the likely
mounds now contain Mohammedan
graves. for the Mohammedan invaders
were wont to seize the highest mounds
for their residence and burial grounds,
and for centuries they have used these
ruins as a quarry for their building ma
terial. Still, a beginning has now been
made, and already at Patna, where five
years ago no stones of the Asoka period
were suspected to be, there may now be
seen pieces of the well-known stone
posts, the so-calleld Asoka ratings, with
their quaintly-6gured medallion-hks
bosses, by which Asoka perpetuated in
stone the original wooden fences which
surrounded the sacred Buddhist spots
And close by one may see, about IL feet
below the present surface, parts OF

The late shah was a good king. an
smiable despot, firm. Hise. and merci-
full ruler, who had the welfare or Persia
at heart, and was neither a tyrant nor
q voiuptuary. His pleasures were sim-
pie in the extreme; he was a sportsman
par excellence, a man who delighted
in the hunting OF big game, a fine shot
with a gun or rife, one who. like the
late king of Italy, rejoiced in violen;
exercise as a relief from town life and
the cares of state. The late shah was
no idle or vicious despot; he did not
smoke, and his diet was of the simplest.
and he was a merciful king. He il was
who did away with the hateful custom
Of the shah presiding in person at exc
cutions. 1t was said outside the country
that the late shah was a monster of
a.arice; this was hardly so. for the vast
sums exacted as fines and brides from
the grsndees Of the Kingdom were not
spent in show and riotous living. but
placed in the royal treasure house as a
nest-egg for the evil days that may come
