New Place For the Cockswain.

Veteran Oarsman Fred Plaisted pre-
sents AN interesting subject for discus
sion. He would like to know why it
wouldn't be good thing to place the
cockswain Of an eight cared crew in the
bow instead of the stern, as is the Gus
tom.
Arguing in favor of placing "coxy"
in the bow, he says:
If seated in the stern and down in
the bottom of the boat, the cockswain
rannot see any object on the water di-
rectly ahead of the shell without lean
ing to starboard 1r port and if he does
so he tips the boat on her side, which
results in the loss of Roadway and pre-
vents the crew from catching the water
firm and together. If the cockswain
cannot see ahead, the boat is likely to
strike any object which might be in the
course, New York Telegram.

Glad to Get Rid of Them.

which was written the following notice,
"Dinners-as much as you like for "A shil-

The Carter White Lead Company
stands ready at any and all times by
practical tests to prove that the carter
Lead will cover one-fourth more sur
face. and do it better. than any brand of
lead manufactured by what is known as
the old Dutch Process. and also to prove
its superiority in body whiteness and
durability.
We invite practical painters to make
INDEPENDENT tests by carefully measuring
surface and weighing the leods TO be
tested and then comparing results,
which will in every instance prove that
Carter Lead will cover one
fourth more surface
The superiority of Carter Lead is due
to improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which a perfect corrosion is obtained,
and, consequently, when you purchase
a keg of Carter Lead you get a keg OF
Lead that is perfectly corroded.

CHINESE SHOES OF SILVER.

/ New Yorker Finds some Unique fea-
lures In Oriental Money.
A New York business man, who has
been spending several months In recent
travel through China and Japan, writes TO
a friend In this city an interesting ac-
count of some phases of the monetary sys-
TENS prevalent in the orient. In China
money transactions are puzzling To foreign

81 vets kindergarten features. The sill
yer shoes of Shanghai interested the New
Yorker greatly. These shoes, which con-
stitute currency in Shanghai, are ingots OF
silver shaped something like shoe and
weighing about 90 taels each.
These shoe ingots are made current 10y
the Hong koo. who assays the silver and
affixes tn each ingot "a stamp, recording its
"toque, or touch, and purity. The Hong
Koo derives his authority entirely from an
arrangement among the native bankers
He is not an official of the Chinese govern
ment. In large native transactions these
shoes form the principal medium of ex-
change Throughout China they range In
weight from half tael To 100 taels. Ac
cording To official statements, the Chinese
money of account is as follows Ten cash
or Ii, one candareen; ten candareen or fun
or fen, one mace; ten mace or tsien, one
tael or lang. The lowest link in the Chi
nese chain is the cash or Ii, which is repre-
scented by an actual coin. The candaroen
the mace and the tael, however, are simply
denominations denoting certain fixed
weights of silver
The Ii is also called Yin and by the Dutch
pitjes But although supposed by some
foreigners 10 be "a silver coin, the Chinese
Ii is made from an alloy of copper iron
and tin. Ii is circular, seven-eighths of
an inch in diameter, with square hole in
the middle. Around this hole are i'm,

At these ports, however, clean or unchop-

largely in paper money, called kinsatsu,

at once.
One raJah who refused to give the req
uisite number of sittings also refused TO
allow Mr. Prinsep TO take away his jeweled
coat TO paint. Finally the artist told the
rajah's son unless his father let him Dor
row the coat he would be Obliged TO paint
the rajah attired in his cooks garment.
Prinsep got the coat Another rajah
would not eat in a room where European
had been, and always washed himself after
shaking hands with white man. 1t was
a trying year passed by the artist. He had
to compose doggerel poetry to amuse his
sitters; witnessed elephant and buffalo
fights, and was thrown from his pony over
n bridge into "a stream. One rajah took
some interest in the sittings and asked to
be painted fat. He was rather proud of
his bulk, and 10 was reputcd that he was
able TO cat whole wild boar at one sitting.
