Origin of a Name.

Every schoolboy, as Lord Macaulay
would say, knows that the halfpenny
Of Scotland is called "bawbee," but
how 1t came to receive that name is n OF
a matter of such common knowledge.
1t appears that the first attempt at
the portraiture of the unfortunate
Mary, Queen of Scots, was made in the
earliest infancy, and her wee" face
was engraved upon the Scottish half.

In 164S, when she was but nine months
old. A number Of these small coins are

fingers unlocked his box.
The major began to disregard hi,
dress; often his neckties were NOT
carefully tied, nor his boots polished.
nor his silk hat ironed. He no longer
frequented the armory of his old
regiment, nor his club. He had no
desire to meet men he knew.
1t was after he had received a let
ter from Jeanne urging him not to
delay any longer in the matter of
making Blanche his wife, owing to
the great likelihood OF the girls dy-
ing suddenly, that he bethought him
self that he had neglected his ward
very much, considering her solicituds
In his behalf. He knew the girl was
thinking Of him, for every time he en-
tered his room at Lyndhurst he saw
evidence of her thoughtfuIness in
fresh flowers cut in the conservatory
by her own hands.
On this day, when he arrived n
Lyndhurst, he went into the library.
His father, who had been in his life
time a distinguished surgeon, had left
= good collection of valuable medical
works. 1t was Jeanne's allusion to
Blsnche's critical condition that
caused him to look up a descriptio -
Of her malady. "Aortic sneurlsn.s

perhaps she does deserve better luck
than to be the wife OF . poor man."
Had he been as suspicious and as OBJ
servant as many detectives he might
have noticed that the words "aortic

surface Of the paper across the text,
e. IL some one had written them with

"but you are not blind, Maj. Goddard.

TO BE coNr1SuEp IN ous MEX


The interest laws OF China, with
which the operations of banking are
intimately connected, date from the
year 1850 of our era. The enormous
rate of interest is curiously defended
by several writer's. 1t results, they
say, in securing economy, in order that
the borrower may repay the loan. in
producing greater industry. in deter
ring persons from borrowing, in reduc-
ing the number of renters of land, thus
increasing the number of land owners.
and IN inducing circumspection in re-
gard to new enterprises. 1t is further
stated by men of business that this
80 per cent. is also a maximum founded
on the probability that the oscillations
in the price of silver will never exceed
that sum. 1t must be understood also
that the ordinary rate of interest rare
ly exceeds 20 or % per cent, and that.
money may be had as low as l2 per
cent, though the rate sometimes ex-
ceeds even 80 per cent.-Forum.
