VICTIMS OF CHEAP MONEY.
Hacaulay's Description of Those Who suf-
fered by Clipped Coins In the Severn
teenth Century.

Dfrtftptioh w no SUI
fered By Clipped Coins In the Severn
teenth Century.
Free coinage at 10 TO is equivalent
10 clipping from 10 to 80 cents from the
present dollar. II would give us a de-
based dollar of varying value. The
world has had experience with clipped
coins Poorly minted coins during
Queen Elizabeth's time made it easy to
clip them. Coin clipping was carried on
extensively during the rest Of the six.
teenth and during all of the seventeenth
century. BY 1895, Macaulay tells us,
"it could hardly be said that the coun-
try possessed, for practical purposes,
any measure of the value of commodi-
ties"
Speaking Of the effects upon the peo-
pie at large of this debased coin of un-
certain value, this great historian says
that sit may we'll be doubted whether
all the misery which had been inflicted
on the English nation in quarter Of q
century by bad kings, bad ministers,
bad parliaments and bad judges was
equal to the misery caused in couple
Of years by bad crowns and bad shil-
lings." He describes the workings and
effects in the following language:
But when the great instrument of ex.
change became thoroughly deranged,
all trade, all industry, were smitten as
with palsy. The evil was felt daily
and hourly in almost every place and
by almost every class, in the dairy and
on the thrashing floor, by the anvil and
by the loom, on the pillows of the ocean
and in the depths of the mine. Nothing
could be purchased without a dispute.
Over every counter there was wrangling
from morning TO night. The workman
and his employer had quarrel as regu-
larry as the Saturday came round. On
a fair day or a market day the clamors,
the reproaches, the taunts, the curses,
were incessant, and il was well if no
booth was overturned and no head
broken. No merchant would contract to
deliver goods without making some
stipulation about the quality of the coin
in which he was to be paid. Even men
of business were often bewildered by
the confusion into which all pecuniary
transactions were thrown. The simple
and the careless were pillaged without
mercy by extortioners, whose demands
grew even more rapidly than the money
shrank. The price of the necessaries
Of life, of shoes, of ale, of oatmeal, rose
fast
The laborer found that the bit of
metal which, when he received it. was
called shilling would hardly, when
he wanted to purchase pot of beer OF
loaf of rye bread go as far as six
pence. Where artisans of more than
usual intelligence were collected in
great numbers, as in the dockyards at
Chatham, they were able to make their
complaints heard and to obtain some
redress. But the ignorant and helpless
peasant was cruelty ground between
one class which would give money only
by tale and another which would take
it only by weight. "Macaulay's His
tory of England. F"

DOGS KEPT THEM WARM.
Knife Manufacturing Town Where the
Grinders Use Living Stoves.


Grinders Use Living Stoves.
Theirs, an old town in the Auvergne,
is famous for its steel knife industry.
The town has retained much Of its ro-
mantle medieval character. It's streets
are narrow and crooked, and the manu-
facture of knives, the principal industry
of the town, is not carried on in modern
factories, but in ancient, small build
ings along the little river Durolle,
which furnishes the power for the in
dustrial township. Curious and unique,
as everything else in Theirs, is the meth
cd of work of the people engaged in
grinding the knives.
Tho grinders, men and women, lay
stretched out on wooden planks, over
which they sometimes throw sheepskins
to soften the boards. Head, shoulders
and arms reach over the end of the
board, and with their hands they hold
increasingly the rough steel blades upon
the big grindstone which revolves be-
meath them by means Of a powerful yet
simple transmission. 1t is a very COM
ical aspect to see these people mt work,
particularly because every one OF the
workmen has small, long haired dog,
who serves as sort of live stove. Dur
ing the long winter in the mountains a
body stretched out ut full length suffers
much from cold in these i'll protected
mills, and since il is not possible for
the workman to warm himself by q
change of position or by moving his
limbs this peculiar expedient has been
adopted in Theirs. The dogs are well
trained to their Office. One whistle OF
their master calls them up, and sim
pie turn Of the body indicates to them
where they have to lie down to give
new warmth TO the body of their mas
ter. -Philadelphia Press.
