A Famous Drummer.

Probably the most remarkable
drummer who ever lived was Jean
Henri, the famous tambour-major of
Emperor Napoleon. One of his feats
was to play on Is differently toned
drums at the same time in so soft and
harmonious a manner that, instead
of the deafening uproar that might
have been expected, the effect was
that of novel and complete instru-
ment. In playing he passed from
one drum to the other with such
wonderful quickness that the eyes
of the spectators could hardly fol-
low the movement of his hands and
body.

THE WORLDS CURRENCY.
A. Comparison OF the Coins of the
Principal Countries.

Two very interesting questions
have been offered by one of our Eng
lish contemporaries, and which are
rarely touched upon except from the
dry-as-dust standpoint of statisti-
-cians. They are: How much coin
is there in circulation? and what is
the money appetite of different parts
of the world?
Answering the first question the
writer states that Of the three most
valuable mediums-gold, silver and
paper-there is over $12, 100000 700
in circulation, divided as follows:
Gold, $3,775, 100000; silver, $685.
100000; paper, 81, 400,000,000.
Copper coins are not taken into con-
sideration.
The comparison of the gold coin
held in different nations is shown by
table which places France in the
first place, the United Kingdom sec
ond and the United States third. In
silver coin India holds first place,
France second and the United States
third, with England a poor fifth.
This answers the second question,
In 20 years the specie reserve in the
banks of the world has trebled, while
the paper issue has only risen 33 per
cent The ratio of paper money in
general use in 1870 was 38 per cent,
and in 1890 70 per cent. 1t also APP
pears that the amount of capital
employed in banking has almost dou-
bled since 1870. The checks paid in
New York and London in one month
aggregated $6,350,O00,000.-N. Y.

Camphor.
Ocrat.

In olden times camphor was chief
ly produced in Sumatra, Borneo, and
other parts of the East Indies and
China, but nowadays most of the
crude camphor of commerce comes
from Formosa and Japan, mainly the
latter.
The camphor tree is an evergreen
of singularly symmetrical proper
tons and sometimes resembles the
linden. It's blossom is white flower,
and it bears a red berry. 1t attains
a huge size and a great age, some of
the trees being fully Is feet in diane
ter and upwards of 800 years old.
Formosan camphor is unequal to
the japanese article in many ways,
but this is due largely to the fact that
the Formosans, being savages, are I'M
skilled in collecting and treating the
gum. Japan's annual output over
and above that consumed at home, is
about 100000 pounds, of which
about one-fourth comes to the United
States and the remainder goes to Eu-
rope.
Crude camphor is got by boiling
the wood after it has been cut into
chips. 1t has to be refined before
use, and until recently this refine
ment was carried on in America and
Europe, exclusively; but the Japs
have now learned how to do the work,
and are exporting the refined as well
as the crude article.

HE LOOKED LIKE JOE.

An aged man and woman stopped

building a few days ago and looked
across at that rather imposing pile.
'Phey we're plainly but neatly dressed,
and while it was evident they were
from the rural districts, there was
nothing in their appearance to at

waiting for a crosstown car close to
where the strangers stopped. To him
the aged man turned.

Things Children Should BE Taught.

The raising of children has become a
scientific question. Froebel, in his kim
dergarten methods, showed how utterly
we were at fault in some of our most gen.
orally accepted theories of education.
While the proper schooling of children Is
important in molding them intellectually
the training they receive in the home is
ever more important in molding their
characters. The New York World gives
tho following points that children should
be taught:
That teasing is a positive crime.
That they must eat bread before cake.
That bedtime is not movable" hour.
That they must speak respectfully to
the servants.
That bawling over bruises is unworthy
sturdy beings
That they should not appeal from the
decision of one parent to the other.
That punishment follows in the wake
of prevarioation and of hiding more swift
ly than it follows active mischief.
That IL is in bad taste for them to tell
oil that they learn Of the neighbors' do
nestle arrangements through playing
with tho neighbors' children.

How an English Rector Defends His Visit

arrived on an extended visit to Killa-
marsh, an important colliery center in
Derbyshire. The rector, the Rev. Il. j.
Metcalfe, a well known and highly popu-
lar Clergyman, visited the theater For
this he was criticised by some of his par
ishioners. He has therefore issued the fol-
lowing letter to his flock:

now staying in this village, ii may be well for
me to give an explanation of my so doing. /

Holy Spirit a theatrical company comes into
this place with every probability Of staying
some time They do not come here to break
either the laws Of God or man. Their profess
sion is quite a lawful one. Now if every one
who is respectable keeps away from these
places what will they become? Centers of sin!
Whose fault is it, then, that this is the case2
Is it the fault Of the company who come here
to amuse the peoplep ! say il is not 1t is the
fault of those persons who think themselves
too respectable to Ego to such "a place" The
proprietor of "a company like this here now is
only too thankful to have the help of good
people to raise his performance and make it of
a more refined and improved character. What
pity it is that some of our people are such
towards that they must set upon our young
men and boys instead of coming to me. If /
am doing wrong, why don't they come and
tell me and teach me better, instead of throw
ing their sneers out at those who can't help

say, but those who say these things are not
those who would be led anywhere better An
other thing they say is, "He would not do it..
only he wants some money out of them"
