MILLS ARE NEVER COINED.
They Have Never Been Anything Bat
a Figure i'm the World of


sSThe mill in coinage exists only in
the school books used in the primary
schools. 1t has never existed anywhere
else. and from the nature of things
never cam" observed a leading tnan-
cial man the other day, to a reporter
for an eastern paper. 1t is a mystery
to everyone why it was ever originated,
for as a unit of value it is only a fiction
There are no mills, never have been
and never will be under the circum-
stances, therefore L don't see why 1t
is put in the books in the primary
schools, with the explanation that ten
of them make one cent. L am glad TO
know that the mill does not get any
more into the school books of the grad
ed schools beyond the primaries. /
have been a banker for 80 years, and
know nothing of the mill except VIA
wa told me the first week l went to
school. All my life has shown me tina
I was told wrong and that there are
not ten or any other number OF mills
in a cent.
Several weeks ago / was in Portugal.
and I had decided to return direct to
Boston from Lisbon rather than to
sail in the ordinary way to New York
and from there to Boston by rail. On
applying at a hotel for a room l asked
as is customary, what was the price
The clerk answered $50 reis per day,
This was q new one on me, for. though
had run up on a number of different
coins in my day here and in various
parts of Europe, it was the first time
/ had heard of a rel. Somehow l did
not like the sound of the wcrd, and
turning to another clerk, asked what
was the price of a tirst-class passage
on a good steamer from Lisbon tc
Boston. He answered that it was so,
COO reis,' and seemed to be willing tC
send me off on the next steamer. Thi:
necessitated my asking for an eXpla
nation, and, as the clerk talked Eng
lish as well as / did, / asked him II
nut his refs into American dollar'
and cents. This he did by explain
ing that the prices charged for
room. without board, was rs cents pc
day, and that the steamer fare wa
$50, This led on to a talk of refs
which is the unit of Portugal. i
value it represents about the same a
a mill. The hotel clerks told me tina
there were no refs as a matter of fac
in Portugal. and never had beer
though all values were based on theT

rot On workman Went to the FACTOR
les ON the Day the American
Circus Came to Town.

Aix-la-Chapel1e is a busy manufae-
turing town in Germany. close to the
Belgian frontier. on a little tributary
of the Meuse river. It has nearly 1OO,-
900 inhabitants and its numerous adj
vantages make it a very busy ana
thriving city. It's sulphur and thermal
springs originally made its fortune
for Charlemagne was so pleased with
them that he made the place the cap
itaI of his empire, and though n
town hall now occupies the site OF the
marble palace he built. the chapel
that he erected and in which ne was
buried still exists as a part OF the
cathedral. Nearly 10000 visitors Hock
to Aix-la-ChapeIle every gear to take
the waters; but the springs are by no
means the only source of its prosper
itv. It has large elements OF wealth
in it's coal, lead and zinc mines, IN
its Woodworking establishments n
in it's cloth mills and manufacturers
of needles and pins. A large part or
the people work in the mills
Late in September last, says the
New York Sun. the inhabitants OF the
busy town had a new sensation. 1T
was an American circus, and curiosity
was aroused to the highest pitch by
such advertising as the people had
never seen before. The interest IN
the billboard display and in the circus
itself when it entered the town with
a great blare of trumpets was so
great that Consul Brundage thought
it worth while to send a report about
1T tn the state department.
The art display on the b~illboards
was a revelation to everybody. Inc
thrilling and marvellous scenes to be
witnessed under the canvas were de-
nicted in the most expansive n
highly colored style of American cir
Gus art. Nothing like the magnitude
and stunning character of this bill
posting had ever been seen in the
town before and the free show given
on every dead wall was the talk OF
Aix-la-ChapeIle for a fortnight before
the circus arrived. Thousands
tbronped around the circus grounds
when the big wagons and tent hands
arrived and the way the rings were
prepared and the tents erected caused
even more establishment than the
spectacular billboards.
In fact, by the time the canvas door
flap was turned back and the ticket
seller was ready for business every
body in the town had taken a hand in
advertising the great American show
There was no work for the factory
hands that day. Not a workman went
to the factories and every spindle IL
the town was idle. \ every per
formance," writes Consul Brundage
ssthe tent was full. The vague an
tipathy felt by the people for TIT
United States has been turned int
respect and awe. The people nov
say: Anything is possible to Amer
icans.'"

wEAKNEss OF HUMAN NATURE


Talk about the frailties Of human na.
ture," said yell-known insurance agent the
other day. relates the kansas City Journal,
mo one else has 80 good an opportunity to
discover them as an Insurance man. An In.
cident occurred few days ago that showed
me q side OF q neighbor's character which
! had never suspected 10 exist. A fire broke
out In his home. and, do you know, that
mad. went three blocks to. q Telephone to re-

house.

house?"

smile. What i am saying 10 that the ac-
tions Of that man are sad commentary on
human nature"
