severe Punishment.

Sterling is derived from the name by
which the dwellers in eastern Germany
were known in the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries. They were called
Easterlings. The purity not only of
their money was very famous, but that
of their silver specially so, and coiners
and silversmiths were fetched from
those parts to improve the quality of
our own manufactures
So far back as 1897 two counterfeit
ers, who sold spurious silver articles
bearing simulated royal lion and the
goldsmiths' marks, were sentenced to
stand in pillory at Westminster, with
their ears nailed thereto and with pa
pers above their heads setting forth
the nature of the offense for which
they were so disgraced. After this
degradation they were publicly march
ed to Cheapside. put in the pillory
there. and had each one. ear cut off,
finally being conducted back to the
Fleet prison and having to pay fine
of 10 marks each.
1t seems that in recent times the rec
ord price for Elizabethan silver was
f70 los per ounce. For old articles in
this metal the sum usually obtainable
ranges from f5 to FIT per ounce, ac-
cording to the artistic Workmanship
displayed on them.-London Telegraph.

When I reached Leghorn 1 found my
self in the company of two people 1 had
heard of several times before in Italy.
They were James Saunders, widower, and
his daughter. Eileene of America. He was
a man of sixty and a half invalid. and
she was a girl of 20 who had an over
whelming desire to become an Italian
countess. Mr.. Saunders was frank,
blunt spoken man. hadn't known him an

daughter, but he had no use for a SON.
in-law not born in America.
II don't know what on earth possesses
the girl" he said, when referring to Eli
eene, who had been plain Ellen before
the steamer left New York, She's just
gone mad on the title business. At home
she'd have been satisfied with a colonel
a judge or an honorable, but now she de-
clares that nothing less than being a
countess will fill the bill. 1t seems as if
all the counts in Italy had heard of her
desires and the size Of my bank account,
and they have hung on our heels by the
dozen. It's no use for me to talk TO tine
girl. She gets highty-tighty the minute
we start to argue, and if don't cave in
to her she sulks for week. Do you know
anything about Italian counts?'

ing the hand of the fair girl before him
he was melted by love alone. He was
As years old and lonely. He wanted to
love and be loved Money TO him was as
to the cobblestones in the street. He had
estates in SARDINIA, in Lombardy and In
Umbria. He had castles in Tuscany, Ma
pies and Sicily. He had gold mines in the
Alps, silver minis in the Carnics and lead
mines in the Apennines. And as to his
social standing, who could desire more
than to be the confident of the ruler of
the land?
The old Count was a sleek, slick liar,
and 1t was entertaining to hear him talk,
but at the same time one could not help
but pity the father and feel provoked at
the daughter. The aged lover was still
exploiting, when he suddenly pitched for
ward out of his chair. The girl screamed
out and ran away to her room, and I was
for bringing a doctor as quick as posi-
BILE when Saunders protested:
Hold on a bit. The old vagabond has
only tainted away. Let's see what he
is made Of
We went to work, and the results were
strange enough. l brought soap and wa
ter from my room and the first thing we
took off was false brow. We got enough
enamel off his face TO reveal a score of
wrinkles, and it was discovered that every
tooth in his head was false. Under his
was stiffened with a corset. l believe that
it was the tightness of the corset that had
caused his faint. There was something
still to come. His right leg was supported
az the knee with a brace, and nose which
had been broken was neatly trimmed up
with wax When we had taken the old
fellow all to pieces he was a queer sight
to look at, and 1t was hard to tell whether
the heap on the chair or the heap on the
floor was Count Padova He had partly
revived before we got through and he
cackled away like an old hen.
And this groaned Saunders, as he
pointed to the heap on the chair, this
was to be my son-in-law! This was what
my daughter was to marry in order to be
called countessi I want her here"
He was back with her In a moment. I
lifted the Count to a sitting position, and
he was chattering of love and castles as
the girl got sight of him.
What have you done?" shrieked the
daughter, as she turned from the grisly
spectacle to u.s.
We've simply taken him apart" replied
the father, land the best part of him is on
the chair there"
When the would-be countess had fed
we sent for help TO get Count Padova to
his room. He had 10 be handled with
care. Any sudden move might have pulled
a limb or his head Off. There was cons.d-
eraple nlailty AMONG the servants, ana
IL was left to them glue the pieces to-
gether again and make a man. When
morning came he had disappeared, and
he had not even left a farewell note be-
hind. A day later Saunders said to me:
Lord man, but / feel like dancing a
hornplpel There Is 10 be no countess in
our family. Ellen has written to a young
lawyer in Chicago and said yes to his
proposition and we are making ready to
scoot for home Come out and have three
drinks and hurrah with meg'
