Coins Of the Orient.

China, of all countries. ancient and
modern, exhibits the greatest variety
IN the matter of coins. The earliest
money on record, about 1000 b. c.,
| consisted Of shells and cowries. The
cowry was used for small change, while
tortoisehell and purple cypraea shells,
the latter ranging in size from few
inches to a foot and a half in length,
represented money for higher value.
A decrease in the supply of shells and
increasing prosperity called for more
handy medium of exchange, and cash,
the coin coin with square hole in the
center, came into existence and re-
mains in use to this day.
Among the earlier Chinese coins was
one of porcelain about three quarters
of an inch thick bearing the legend,
Eternal Prosperity" A few curious
knife money was at one time used in
the state of Isl. 1t was of copper
shaped like bill hook, about seven
inches long, and fitted at the end with
ring. During periods of metal scar
city in China iron, lead. tin. baked
earth, grain, silk, and shells have been
used as circulating medium.
In Japan an iron coinage, began
about 1885, has existed up to the pres
ent day. A curious coin, made of a mix
ture of silver and copper was long in
use in Japan. 1t varied in size from a
small pea to a large bean. Lead coins
were also used there for five centuries.
Glass was employed as substance for
coin for many centuries in Egypt, while
wooden money is mentioned in many

Des Moines, July 1.-THE famous
Temple amendment protecting railroad
employees in their claims for personal
injuries was decided to be constitu-
tional by the state supreme court Sat-
urday This decision affects every rail-
road company and their thousands OF
employees in Iowa. In brief. it declares
unla wful any contract between the
railroad company and its employees, by
which the employee is made to sign
away in advance any possible injury
his right to damages.
1t has been the custom of Iowa rail-
roads. particularly the Burlington,
which was the defendant in the pres
ent case, to maintain relief depart-
ment " and all employees participating
in the benefits of this department
were required to sign a waiver Of
their rights to bring suit for damages
in event of injury. The decision just
handed down administers severe
blow to such relief departments as
the employee is not stopped from
bringing any suit for damages.

KEEPS SILENT
Anderson, the Moorhead Murderer
His Defense.

OF Anderson. II this should be fact,
1t is generally admitted, there would
be great difficulty in making a sue
cessful defense. Those who talked
with the murderer a few minutes
after the crime and even the next
day are ready and willing to go on
the witness stand and swear that An
derson appeared perfectly rational.
"I'll kill any - of like
that every time he tries to do me"
Anderson is alleged to have stated
when asked few minutes after
Crume died why the crime had been
committed.
But Anderson's ideas of the world
have changed apparently since his i'm
prisonment. He is now as mild man.
nered as any of the prisoners in the
Jail and appears to be worrying great
ly. While he has not yet written
to his relatives in Canada. his attor-
ney has for him and yesterday let
ter was received from the murderer's
father. The contents of the letter
have not been made public but it is
suspected that the information was
forthcoming that ample funds would
be provided for the defense.
For several days after his arrest
Anderson declined to give any infor-
nation as to his place of birth other
than that it was in Peel county,
Ontario. Recently, however, he has
confided to the Clay county authorities
the name of his father and the town
in which he resides in Peel county.
He further told that he had brother
residing some place in North Dakota,
the exact location he claimed that he
did not know himself.

T|L[MAN IS AFTER
THE SCALP OF
BARNES
Morris Affair Aired Again by
His Recommendation for
Washington Office.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, June Ex-senator Till
man interrupted the regular business
of the senate Thursday to speak on his
resolution calling for an investigation
into the election of Mrs. Minor Morris
from the White house last January.
He complained that this resolution
had been pushed aside constantly for
one reason or another. He spoke of
Mrs. Morris as an elderly lady and re-
ferring to his former discussion of the
case, said he had been charged with
going very far in characteriZing her
ejectment from the White house as
brutal and cruel" He recalled that
on that occasion he had been charged
by another senator with an effort to
vent his personal feelings against the
present chief executive. He had not
then been able to supply the proof.
Since then, he had been held up to
scorn for having presumed to express
his honest feelings and he never would
have again approached the subject,
"but for the fact that the name of
the man. Assistant Secretary Barnes,
who must be held resopsible for the
act, had been sent to the senate for
the postmastership of Washington"
This nomination, he considered
equal to throwing the matter in the
teeth of the senate, although the
senate had not shown its teeth on the
subject He then detailed his efforts
to have the nomination of Mr.. Barnes
rejected, reading his letter to Senator
Carter, chairman of the subcommittee
having the nomination in charge, and
such other matter bearing on the sub
ject. He told also of his Intellectual
efforts to secure an investigation of
his charges against Barnes, and then
said that in order to justify his bring
ing the matter into the open senate,
he had drawn his resolution so as to
provide for an investigation of the
action of the police in the matter Of
Mrs. Morris expulsion. In order that
he might not be accused of unfairness,
Mr.. Tillman had read Mr.. Barnes de-
Tense of his conduct in the Morris af-
fair.
He also read the statements of Ell
mer E. Paine, who was, he said, one
of the six newspaper men at the ex-
occurred. He commented at some
length on Mr. Paine's statement, say
ing he was the only one of the six
who had ever had anything to say
about the matter outside of their own
papers or in private conversation.
This he spoke of as remarkable" and
then quoted extracts of Mr.. Paine's
statement. His statement was re-
fered to as in substantiation of the
White house statement
In contrast to that statement he pre-
scented what he declared to be the
facts in the case. They were in
cluded in a statement from James H.
Price, another newspaper man, who
had witnessed the occurrence. In Mr..
Paine's statement it was reported that
Mrs. Morris was treated as consider
ately as possible, while Mr.. Price said
she was Carried of like sack Of
salt"

They are unable to get line on what

Anderson has changed greatly in

The Bordeaux Mixture.
Is made of dissolving pounds OF
copper sulphate (blue stone) in 25
gallons OF water or in smaller GUAM
tity of water which Is afterwards d.
luted to rs gallons. Add to this 5
pounds of freshly slaked lime, being
sure to strain it through a fine sack OF
screen to remove the coarse particles.
Stir thoroughly and pour into the bar
rel which can then be filled up with
water. Keep stirring as long as any
OF the mixture remains. Where much
spraying is to be done stock solution
may be used to advantage. Two gall
Ions of water will take up almost ex-
actly pounds of copper sulphate.
Put rs to so pounds of sulphate into
coarse sack and hang it in the top
of barrel, three-fourts filled with
water. Allow it "a hours to dissolve.
This is frequently more convenient
than weighing as each gallon of the
solution measured out will contain 3
pounds of sulphate. Lime is added to
neutralize the acid. To determine
whether enough lime has been added
use droy or SO of solution of potas-
SUM ferrocyanide which can be
bought at any drug store. If this
turns brown when it strikes the Bor-
deaux mixture, more lime must be add
eded. If no change in color occurs the
Bordeaux contains enough lime and
the acid has been neutralized, but it is
we'll to add little more lime, as an
excess does no harm while deficiency
will cause the Bordeaux to burn the

six ounces of Paris Green mixed with
pail of water should be added to SO
