month in wages. American money is intro
ouced with 81 equal to $3.50 Mexican. This
wage Garner would get IS per month equal
to his 20 pesos, each a little larger than the
new dollar offered him. He would not un-
derstand this. 1t was feared to undertake
such violent change which would have in
volved the islands in labor disturbances,
have threatened peace and deferred invest
ments. 1t was thought better to adopt a
new coin about the size of that to which
the people had been accustomed, to put it
in circulation at one-half the value of the
American dollar, to restrict the coinage, to
redeem 1T on demand and to hold it to a
fixed relation to the money of the United
States. 1t is believed that this will give
the Filipinos a staple currency without
friction. The gold coins of the United
States will be legal tender in the Philip
pines and will be used in large transactions
on a basis of two pesos to one gold dollar.
Porto Rico and Hawaii will both have
the currency of the United States. The old
Philippine coins will probably be shipped to
Hong-Kong and sold"

MR.. sToDDARD'S TREASURES.
Artistic and Literary Accumulation of
Recently Deceased Poet.

Artistic and Literary Accumulation of
Recently Deceased Poet.
New York Evening Post.
In his later years Mr.. Stoddard was tried
with many Affections. He was paralyzed
in his right arm, almost blind, and a great
sufferer from rheumatism. In these dis
tressful circumstances. which compelled
him to lead the life almost of recluse, he
was deprived by death of the companion
ship OF beloved son and a devoted wife.
His house in East Fifteenth street contin-
ued, however. to the end to be the local
Mecca of many literary pilgrims. and de-
rived peculiar charm from the many
rare objects collected during Mr.. Stod-
dard's long association with literature and
the arts. On the walls are many notable
pictures. Among them may be specified a
figure by Eastman Johnson: one of AL
bert Bierstadt's finest landscapes, 1.-The
Castle in the Air.. which inspired one of
the owners best known poems more than
forty years ago, and two admirable port
rats of the poet. one the work of d. w.
Ward, and the other of George B. Butler.
Other pictures are a group of English
water colors, bought twenty years ago.
lneu tHeTe are TWO pdneiS, the WOTk OF
j. c. Thorn, and the gift of the artist.
Still more valued souvenirs include some
rare first editions. among them Keats's
copy of "Guzman de Alfarache," dated
1894; Gray's copy Of Voyages" filled with
marginal notes in Gray's handwriting, and
dated 1875: copy of 'Tristram Shandy,"
with Sterne's signature at the head of the
first chapter in every volume, and other
volumes which were the property of Pope.
Southey, Byron, Campbell and other poets.
As rare. perhaps. as any is a copy of his
own book. Footprints, published in 1919,
and now very rare. the edition having been
destroyed. already related. by Mr.. Stod-
dard himself
Another relic which he possessed is a lock
of Millions hair. which was once on the
back Of a miniature that Addison owned
1t belonged afterward to DR.. Jonson then
to Leigh Hunt, and was given by George
II. Boxer, of Philadelphia, to Mr.. Stoddard
There are two locks of the hair of George
Washington and William Cullen Bryant
and piece of the blue cloth from the cur
tain that hung over Robert Burns's bed
Among the great collection of interesting
autographs the poet specially priced those
of Lord Byron. Sir Thomas Moore. Cowper
Sheridan Robert Burns, Shenstone, Long
fellow, James Russell Lowell, Bayard
Taylor. Washington Irving. Sir Walter
Scott. Dickens. William Cullen Bryant. the
Brownings, Campbell. Edwin Booth Bay
ard Taylor and Eugene Field. He also
owned many autographed books from the
Elfzabethan period. some of them extreme
~ rare: ancient editions of old works. first
editions of American novels and poems. an
original copy of a poem by Lowell a page
of Southey's Joan of Arc" from the origi-
nal manuscript of Bells and Pomegran-
ates." Barry CORVALLIS THE Mothers
Last Song" the original manuscript OF
Browning's "Sardello,' and others of equal
interest. All these treasures Mr. Stoddard
has bequeathed to the Authors Club.

AT the last meeting Of the Anthropologi-
cal Society Hon. Ainsworth b. Spofford
read an interesting paper on The Folk
lore OF Popular Sayings" Among other
things Mr.. Spofford showed how a large
number of wise saws and sayings attrib-
uted to great men of the seventeenth. eight
zenith and nineteenth centuries were uttered
In somewhat different form by the great
men OF Greece and Rome, and also how a
great many other popular sayings had been
twisted, garbled and misquoted. He took
as an example the expression. I'm time
OF peace prepare for war" This. he said.
was attributed to George Washington. but
what the Father Of His Country really said
was: ITO be prepared for war Is the most
enectual means OF preserving peace"
