MARKS ON MEXICAN MONEY.
Cn'nese Bankers Put On Their Seals
to Guarantee tn ce~nu;reness

tNS enuineneSS
AS everybody knows, Mexican dol
iars circulate In large quantities in
the Far East, especially in China and
the Philippines, where bankers send
large quantities of Mexican silver dol
lars every year.
A year ago a reporter saw ono NJ
the Mexican pesos that had been in
circulation in China for some time.
and was surprised to find it covered
with small Chinese characters, like as
many seals. This dollar was shown
to Liang Hsun, Chinese minister, who
explained the presence of the marks
as follows:
THE bankers, Of whom there are
hundreds in China, who receive Mexi-
can dollars, afix to them their seals
to guarantee their legitimacy, and as
pesos circulate and go from n bank
to another they are being marked by
all the banks who receive them. In
banker who sealed it last has to
change it for good money and with
draw it from circulation.
When the pesos are completely
covered with seals they are sent back
to Mexico to be recoined, the expense
being paid by all the bankers whose
seals are see on the coin. 1t is in
accordance with a recent agreement.
But it often happens that dollars, al
though marked all over their two
faces, continue in circulation and are
highly esteemed, as the seals are so
inc. The decision to seal pesos was
taken because illegal coins began to
circulate in China.-Mexican Herald.

ing secrecy, had its origin B. C. ATT, at
which time Pausanias, the commander
of the confederate fleet of the Spar.
tans and Athenians, was engaged in
an intrigue with Xerxes for the sub.
jugation Of Greece to the Persian rule
and for the hand Of the monarch's
daughter in marriage.
The negotiations were carried on in
a building attached to the temple of
Minerva, called the Brazen house, the
roof Of which was a garden forming
a bower of roses, SO that the plot,
which was carried on with the utmost
secrecy, was literally matured under
the rose.
It afterward became a custom
among the Athenians to wear roses
in their hair when telling secrets that
they wished to be kept i%nviolate.

War humor.

"War has its humorous side" said
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, though the hui
NOR is always grim.
I'm n of my most perilous Indian
campaigns l overheard a group of pri-
Yates saying goodnight to one another
on the eve Of an engagement. These
youths were in different regiments.
They knew the coming fight would be
a hot one. They knew it was prob
able enough that they would never see
n another again.
"And so, as they separated, one of
them said:
"'Well, good-by, boys. AS the coons
Wen all meet at the hatter's."'"

WORMS ON THEIR TRAVELS.
Met With in Millions in Forests Of
Hunuarv and Norwav.

Hungary and Norway.
The Sciara, of the genus Tipulx, a
tiny wormlike creature which is
found in the forests of Norway and
Hungary during the month of July or
early in August, gather in huge num-
bers preparatory to migrating in
search of food or for a change of con-
ditions. When setting out on this
journey they stick themselves togeth-
er by means Of some glutinous mat
ter, and form a huge ~serpentlike mass,
often reaching a length of between
forty and fifty feet and several inches
in thickness. AS the sciara is only
on an average of about three thirty
seconds of an inch in length, with no
appreciate breadth whatever, the
number required to form a continuous
line of the size above mentioned is in
calculable.
Their pace is, Of course, very slow,
and upon meeting an obstacle, such as
a stick or stone, they either writhe
yer or around it, sometimes break
ing into two bodies for the purpose. A
celebrated French naturalist says that
if the ear portion of this snakelike
procession be brought into contact
with the front part the insects will
keep moving round in that circle for
hours, seeming to realize that
they are getting no further on their
journey. If the portions be broken in
two the procession will unite in a
short time. When the peasant meets
n Of these professions he will lay
some obstacle in front of it. If it
passes over it it is a good omen.

CHAPTER VIII.

Joyce gave way altogether after her
final interview with Alan. She had a
long Illness, which almost terminated
fatally; but she vas young, and had
always been strong. In the end her
youth triumphed. although she made
no efforts to get better. Life was ter
ribly hard. She loved Alan with every
fibre OF her being. She had known the
Joy Of being his wife, and now he was
an outcast from home, miserable.
wretched, dragging on a joyless exist
ence; and she had not even the priv
ilege of ~consoling him. She knew him
to be as unhappy as she was, and she
was suffering all the rest of their lives,
and Joyce had to learn patience from
that hardest OF taskmasters-sorrow.
Her father took her abroad. OF
course her story was a nine days talk;
but she was much beloved, and was
generally pitied and condoled with.
Alan and she had been so happy, and
had borne themselves so well and
modestly, that there was no one who
did not feel for the young couple
whose happiness had been so suddenly
destroyed.
But poor Veronica. she went back to
her lodgings that night broken-heart-
ed. It was not only that she had lost
the hope OF life with Alan, but she
could see that she had given him his

woman! She was intensely human.
was poor Veronica, and the knowledge
that another woman had all his heart
hurt her UNNECESSARILY. He did not
love her! He had never loved her!
But she had the boy. 1t was some
thing that she could press his curly
head against her aching heart, and
drop her tears upon it. Poor little
soul! The only bitter resentment she
had felt against Alan was that he had
failed to notice the boy. But still she
had him-he was her own. She wait
ed patiently until she should hear
from Alan. She had waited SO long
that a little more or less waiting did
not matter. And he had said he would
write-he was certainly q man to be
trusted. I
And on the third day q letter came.
Veronica could not guess what 1t had
cost Alan to write 1t. He did not want
to be harsh and cruel towards the at
~fectionate creature, whose only fault
had been that she had not been drown
ed In the ~shipwreck, and yet he felt 1t
difncult to be kind to her who had
spoilt his life. He wrote that hence
forth she and the boy would b his

little thing, it would comfort you

girl; but l might get to hate her when

He rose slowly and painfully. A
great terror came over Joyce. You
will see me again, Alan? This Is not
good-by. l could not bear it-oh, l
could not! Tell me you will come to
me again and kiss me good-by! Oh,
