PENNY WISE.

Change In the Money Using Habits of the
People.
Americans of the class who go to
Europe take note that in Germany
coin is used called a pfennig and
worth quarter of cent and that
in France confines are in use, which
are current at one-fifth of a cent.
This practice of using money in such
minute divisions excites the con-
tempt Of Americans, which is, how
ever, returned by the Germans and
French and is expressed freely at the
foolish and wasteful Americans
who, in their own country, make no
use of any coin less than cent.
And yet there is a change gradual
ly extending over the United States
in what may be called the money
using habits of the people. There
was time within the remembrance
of western and southern Americans,
before United States silver coin was
in general circulation in the Missis-
sippi valley, when the picayune, a
Spanish coin worth when in good
condition 81 cents and when worn
smooth 5 cents, was the smallest
coin in use. From the picayune
came the word picayunish, signify
ing a small, mean, penurious ma
ture. In New England, where the
people so divided the dollar as to
create many fractions and continued
to speak of shillings, pence and half
| pence long after our separation from
England, copper coinage was main
tanned, and people contended for the
odd cents and even half cents due
them in making change from the
earliest ages, but beginning west Of
the Hudson there was until com.
paratively recent period an absence
of copper coins, nothing for sale at
less than cents and general dis
position to speak lightly of even
cent transactions.
This has, within the present gen.
GRAFTON, greatly changed. The nicke
has come to stay, and cents are ev
erywhere in circulation. The gov
eminent set al example in first re
duoing letter postage to 3 cents an6
later to 2 cents. The proud, naughty
and lavish American found himse].
compelled to deal in coins less thar
S cents. The cheapening of postage
led to the selling of many articles
of common use, such as newspapers
at less than S cents, and whateve,
sacrifice Of pride it may have cost
the average American found himsel
buying these things at the reduced
prices and dealing in nickels ant
pennies. It was come down, bu
it came.

these so called dealings were not tn
result of decreasing wealth in tn

he takes pie because he has vague

Then, again, he knows pie, and he is

Out Of the sun, out Of the blast,
Out of the world alone l passed
Across the moor and through the wood
To where the monastery stood.
There neither lutte nor breathing fife.
Nor rumor of the world of life,
Nor condolences low and dear
Shall strike the meditative ear.
Aloof, unhelpful and unkind,
The prisoners Of the iron mi.ld,
Where nothing speaks except the bell,
The unfraternal brothers dwell.
And ye, o brethren, what if God,
When from heavens top he spies abroad
And sees on this tormented stage
The noble war of mankind rage
What if his vivifying eye,
o monks, should pass your corner byp
For still the Lord is Lord of might
In deeds, in deeds he takes delight;
The pillow, the spear, the laden banks,
The field. the founded city marks.
He marks the smiler of the streets,
The singer upon garden seats.
He sees the climber in the rocks.
To him the shepherd folds his fiocks.
For those he loves that underprop
With daily virtues heavens top,
And bear the failing sky with ease.
Unfrowning caryatides.
Those he approves that ply the trade,
That rock the child. that wed the maid,
That with weak virtues, weaker hands,
Sow gladness on the peopled lands,
And still with laughter, song and shout
Spin the great wheel Of earth about.
But ye? Dye who linger still
Here In your fortress ON the hill,
With placid face, with tranquil breath.

With careless looks may pass you by

 'Bo" says the Gila monster is almost IS large as the alligator and eats eight dollars worth of eggs every day. The firm will soon be bankrupt unless the monster can be induced to adopt the 1iet of the alligator. The only reason the show does not start for the coast at once is because, as "Bo" says, the monster is growing at the rate of three inches per day. The expedition will leave as soon as the hideous reptile of the Gila attains the size of his darker complected companion of the Colo radO.
