QUEER cuRRENCY IN AFRICA.
Only cowrie Shells and slaves Are
Used In Business.
From tho Contemporary Review.

From the Contemporary Review
The only recognized currency in Kano
and throughout the greater part OF the
West African hinterand consists of cow
RE shells and slaves. Near the coast 800
cowrie shells represent the value Of an
English penny. In the far interior the
value Of a shell is doubled. Even here 10
shiliings worth OF money weighs 100
pounds. Cowrie shells are, indeed, a per-
feet caricature Of what currency should
be, lacking as they do the three charac-
terlstics which, according 10 political econ
omlsts, a medium Of exchange should pos
sess-namely, intrinsic value, scarcity and
portability.
Where any larger amount Is concerned
than can easily be paid in Shells slaves
are used as the medium of exchange.
a sort Of feudal system prevails through
out the greater part OF West Africa, the
smaller towns paying annual tribute 70
the larger. Thus Kano has upward Of
200 towns which pay tribute to its King,
while il In turn pays tribute TO Sokot0
Nearly the whole of this tribute is Dah
In slaves. Were slavery suddenly abol-
ished, the whole system OF government
would be dis0rganized and It would be
impossible for most OF the towns to find
any other currency In which 20 pay. What
obviously needs to be done Is TO introduce
a regular coinage. This can only be done
by the presence In largely increased num-
bers Of Europeans In the country, by
whose means any coin which might be
thought desirable would soon obtain cir
culation.

Society is all a-gossip over the domestic
wraugle of an artist Of distinction and his
wife, both well-known in Washington, the
former home of the couple A. G. Heaton
and his wife. who was Miss Griswold Of
New York, occupied a beautiful residence
on Seventeenth street and because Mrs
Heaton was not as socially ambitious as
her husband, appears to be the principal
ground for the divorce proceedings now in

Artist Heaton went 10 Oklahoma to legally
