FoOIscap Paper.

Everybody knows what foolscap
paper is, but many would be puz-
zled to tell how it came to bear
that singular name. The explain
alton is as follows: When Charles
the First found his revenue short
he granted certain privileges,
amounting to monopolies, and
among these was the manufacture
of paper, the exclusive right of
which was sold to certain parties,
who grew rich and enriched the
government at the expense of those
who were obliged to use the paper.
At this time all English paper bore
in water-marks the royal arms.
The parliament under Cromwell
made jests and jeers at this law,
and among other indignities to the
memory of Charles it was ordered
that the royal arms be removed
from the paper, and the fools cap
and bells be substituted. These
were also removed when the rump
parliament was prorogued, but
! paper for the size of the parlia-
ment's journal still bears the name
of FOOLS cap"

Our Gold Circulation.
Economist.

ECOuOUllSl.
It is gratifying to observe that
there was an increase of over
S24, 600, 900 in gold and gold GER
tihcates in circulation in the
United States during May. This
is a sort of initiation that the coun-
try can we'll stand any time, and it
is in pleasing contrast with that
form of initiation which was so
zealously advocated during the
greenback craze.
The entire increase in the coun-
try's circulation was S23, 43O,817.
1t will thus be seen that there was
decline in some of the items.
This occurred particularly in
United States notes, which fell
from S337,13O,321 to $685. $751;
893. Silver dollars also decreased
slightly. The entire circulation of
money in the United States June l
was s., 743, 6S1, 12O, which provides
S3245 per capita on all estimated
population of 81 $4,000. Of this
total 81, 1877, 23O, 667 is gold. The
entire stock of gold and gold
bullion used as money in the Unit
ed States June l was 81 400, 921, :
374, the difference between that
amount and the amount in circula-
ton being represented by gold coin
and bullion i'll the treasury.
1t was only a few years ago that
the estimate of the treasury depart
ment of 81, 900, 900, 900 as the stock
of gold used as money in the Unit
ed States was questioned by some
statisticians and houted by the
Populists. There is no doubt OF
the correctness of those figures or
of the estimate of the present time.
1t Is a splendid basis for our bust
ness and for credit money out
standing, and inasmuCh as the
country is now working under an
avowed gold standard we may be
sure of a greater steadiness in our
currency hereafter than we have
had in the past.
Society is to blame for many
wasted lives.
To exci.e envy is to makes
emies.
Those who live for pleasure
alone do no good to themselves or
TO others.

hzS, ue wus quIUe rormaI. Ine widow stood 1t for a couple of weeks and then began to feel piqued over 1t. The only one she had to consult with was her hired girl, and one day she said to her:
 Don't you think the new hired man 6 queer acting fellow"
 Hes very standofRsh, see. He hasn't asked me two questions since be came"
 'Tne others used to ask you about me, didn't theyT' Queried the widow.

 And they said 1 was smart and good lookingY
 'They were forever saying so, and l can't understand about Thomas, as hs makes me call him."
 The widow couldn't either. She want ed no marriage proposals, but she did want to feel that she was of some ac- count in the hired mans eyes. It mlRed her to find that Parker treated her as lndlfferently as the well pole, though with the greatest respect, and that be preferred to sit in his own room of an evening rather than enjoy her society In the family room. She discovered that he was better educated than she was, had good business Ideas and that he could beat her all hollow at buying and selling. She had a rag to chew. and she chewed 1t for many long weeks. She had threatened to bounce him if be fell In love with her, and now Ghe was mad because he hadn't.
 AS she chewed she found herself ad- mIrlng and liking, and one day when Rhe was churnlng the butter It came over her all at once that she was actu- ally In love. Butter went up to 40 cents a pound In sixty seconds, and the hired girl found the widow blushing like 6 girl of sixteen. When the butter had come and been poured out of the churn the blushing woman walked out on the veranda. where Parker sat sharpening an aI, and. walking up to him, she asked:
 ''Do you really think those other men were idiots"
 "For falling In love with youT he asked without raising bis eyes.
 "Y-yes."
 ''Well, perhaps not"
 "You-you mean

The Last versaif,eu Bourbon.

There is at Versailles an orange tree some five centuries old. This tree, which was taken from FOntainebleau of Versailles on the completion of the orangery, was already famous under the title of the Grand Bourbon. Ac- cording to tradition, the tree had been planted in 1421 by a Princess of Ma varre and after several changes of owners came into the possession of Francois l., by whom 1t was placed al FontaInebleau. When 1t reached Yer sailles the king came to visit it, and two grand Bourbons were then face to face. The man passed, and even hia bones, torn from their tomb at St Denis and tossed Into a trench, have perlshed. Not a pinch of his dust re- mains. But the tree lives and blooms md bears fruit, the only Bourbon at Versailles, serene, invlncible, enthron' ed.-Farmer's VersRnleR
