CHINESE MONEY.
Some fs Good and Some Is Counter
felt, but 1t All Goes.


Emile Bard. Frenchman, has an
Interesting chapter Oh the money OF
china in lis book, Chinese Life In
Town and Country" He explains that
the unit of Chinese money Is the taei,
which is not coin, but weight OF
silyer-the ounce, of which there are
sixteen to the catty and 1900 to the
picul. The commercial tael Is that of
Canton. which should weigh 37.7S3
grains, but usually weighs 1888. Then
there Is the tael of Shanghai, which
weighs 3G.G, and the revenue tael, used
In valuing imports md exports, and
each large city has it's own, that of
Tientsin worth from + to 6 per cent
more than that of Shanghai. Business
estimated in taels Is carried on by the
use of Spanish dollars or silver ingotS.
The former are weighed and stamped
by every south China merchant and
have to be remitted continually. The
ingots of silver are cut from bars into
pieces that the operator estimates Will
weigh 80 taels. Naturally each one
who handles them weighs them.
Banks store their money in cellars,
III boxes carried back and forth by
coolies" says NJ. Bard. This explains
the item of transportation which is de-
ducted from the face Of Chinese
check when it is cashed 1T q bank.
One can judge Of the complications
consequent upon this system of con-
version of taels of different values into
ingots OF different weight and purity,
especially as asSayers of different To-
calities refuse to honor the stamps Of
other cities" In places where the dol
lar is not used small payments are
made by cutting up an ingot. "The
scale used in weighing these fragments
has two sets of markings; one for re-
ceipts and one for payments"
China's national coin Is the cash,
round copper coin with a square hole
through it. The cash or sapak dates
from at least 2300 r. c. Eight pounds
weight of cash makes dollar. Years
ago an emperor decided to double his
funds by giving copper cash double its
value. In certain parts of the country
this performance is still In effect. IN
other parts II or s. cash are counted
as 100.
In Honan the Chinese 60 to market
with two kinds of money, one real. the
other counterfeit Some articles are
bought with one, some with the other.
Certain articles have two prices, one
In good money, one In bad.

A Singular BetrOthal.

The way the Slngalese and Tartar
tribes have Of popping the question
is singular. The man sends and pur-
chases the lady's wearing apparel. OF
course if she does not like the gentle
man she need not part with the con-
tents Of her wardrobe, but II he is the
favored one she readily does so, know
ing that when the evening comes they
will be returned to her by the suitor
In person. He spends the night be-
meath the same roof with her, and the
next day, after a certain amount Of
feasting Is gone through, the couples
thumbs are tied together, and thence
forward they are man and wife.
