Monkeys as Coin Testers.

It is said that the great ape of Siam
is in great request among the Siamese
merchants as cashiers in their count
ing houses. Vast quantities of base
coins are known to be in circulation in
Siam, and no living human can dis
eliminate between the good and bad
coinage with as much accuracy as
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty of distinguishing
the rude Siamese counterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no train
ed banker can compete with them i'll
their unique avocation.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatively puts each coin presented
to him in his mouth and tests it with
grave deliberation. From two to five
seconds is all the time this intelligent
animal requires in making up his de-
cisiOn. If the coin is all right, it is
carefully deposited in the proper recep-
tacle; if base, it is thrown violently to
the floor, while the coin tester makes
known his displeasure at being pre-
sented with the counterfeit by giving
vent to much angry chatter.

The shepherd distinguishes sheep
where the town dwelIer sees nothing,
because the one is accustomed to the
place and objects and the other not.
The herdsman distinguishes cattle and
the huntsman his prey because they
are practiced and see little differences
which perhaps they cannot describe,
but which they perceive almost uncon-
sciously. The sailor and the longshore-
man detect what the visitor fails to
see out on the horizon and will tell you
Of the peculiarities of rigging which

The man who essays to give lecture
or talk in the ''sIums" must have his
wits well in hand. He may encounter
apathy, but he is sure also to find an
embarrassing readiness of tongue.

Of "Christmas In the Home" telling
them of ways In which the day might
be made bright although money was

Confederate Bills.

The passage of Confederate bill as
money is not violation of the statute
Of the United States which makes it
an offense for any person, except I'M
der authority of a proper officer, to
have in his possession any obligation
or other security engraved and printed
after the similitude of any obligation
or other security issued under the au-
thority of the United States, with in
tent to sell or otherwise use the same,
but to constitute a violation of such
provision the instrument used must in
it's inception have been intended to
simulate some obligation or security of
the United States. The general like
ness which one form of paper money
bears to another is not sufficient.-111

A Marriage In Persia.


Before dinner is served the bride
goes to the bath accompanied by fe-
male relatives and friends. At night,
rs the procession of the bridegroom
approaches, aims are distributed, and
women and children look on from
neighboring roofs. Loud cries from
the women welcome the bridegroom
on his arrival, while the bride, care
fully yelled, mounts the horse await
ing her at the door. All the men who
have been Toasted and entertained join
In the procession, in which lanterns
are borne. The brides departure is the
signal for the discharge of fireworks
and great beating of the big drum.
The final ceremony is similar to one
observed by the Arabs and the Copts-
namely, the sacrifice of sheep. These
are killed as the bride steps over the
threshold Of her new home.
One wonder what the idea is under
lying the sacrifices. Are they intended
as acts of Precipitation inherited from
an earlier age, when people thus en-
ieavored ito appease the anger of the
gods' or of the spirits of their an
,estors? Or is it merely way of seal

A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm of fire at night is the
brassy cough of Group, which sounds like
the chldren's death knell and it means death
unless something is done quickly. Foley's
Honey and Tar never fails to give instant
relief and quickly cures the worst forms of
Group. Mrs. P. L. Cordier, of Manningto ton
Ky, writes: ''My three year old girl had a
severe case of Group; the doctor said she

relief and saved her liie." Refuse substi-
