cording to Homer, covered the meadow

Brothers and Sisters.

1t has been proved again and again
that boy without a sister is much to
be pitied; that a girl without brother
is to be condoled with. And why? Be
cause the mutual society improves
both. The boy teaches the girl to be
wider minded, less petty and narrow
more manly physically, and, above all
to understand something Of the OPP
posite sex. Again, the boy is hun
dredfold nicer for having a sister. He
confides his little scrapes to her, and
she, with her gentle Unborn goodness
helps him and advises him to avoid the
pitfall again.-London Queen.

GREEK COINS.
How the Ancients Tested the Purity
of the Metal.

How the Ancients Tested the Purity
of the Metal.
The first coins of gold and silver that
have come down to us are now dated
as rule in the time of Croesus, who
lived about the middle Of the sixth
century B. G.
1t may readily be imagined that
mere lump of gold, supposed to be OF
certain weight, would be subject to
skepticism unless it were guaranteed
by some recognized authority. So, in
order to save reweighing and testing
at each transaction, these ingots or
coins were stamped with the authorita-
tive mark of a prince or state. So
stamped they become the true coins
in spite of the fact that, contrary to
modern custom, they were not at all
regular.
But, in spite of the guarantee that
| might be afforded by the mark Of
state or a prince, we find the Greeks
applying certain tests to determine the
genuineness Of the currency offered to
them. Plating was easily detected by
| jabbing the suspected coin with some
sharp instrument. At other times the
tombstone was used. One which was
| known as the "Lydian stone" was sup
posed to reveal a proportion Of foreign
| metal as small as barley corn in a
slater. Another test, in the case of sill
yer, was to polish the coin and then
breathe on it. If the moisture quickly
| disappeared the metal was pure. Yet
another way to detec alloy was to
heat the coin or coins on redhot iron.
If the metal was unalloyed it remain
ed bright, If mixed with other sub
| stances it turned black or red accord
| ing as it was more or less impure

OLD ROMAN NAMES.
The Peculiar System That Was In
Use by the Nobility.

Use by the Nobility.
The noble Romans were peculiar in
their system of nomenclature. They
had the praenomen, the nomen and the
cognomen. The first of these distin-
guished the individual and was equiva-
lent to our Christian or baptismal
name. 1t was usually indicated by a
single letter, as A. for Aulus, or by
two letters, as APP. for Appius, or three,
as Ser. for Servius. The nomen was
distinctive of the gems or clan and has
no corresponding appellative among us.
The cognomen was placed last and des-
ignated the familiae, precisely answer
ing to our surname. Sometimes a
fourth name was added, the agnomen,
in consequence Of renowned action,
some conspicuous event of life or fea-
ture of character. Scipio, in addition to
his regular names, was styled Africa
nus after his conquest Of Carthage.
The name Germanicus was assumed
by those who distinguished themselves
in the wars with the Germans.
In female names the Romans indulg-
ed but small variety of appellation,
and fancy had little or nothing to do
with their invention and bestowal.
When there was but one daughter in a
family she received the feminine ter
mination of her gentle name, as Tul-
liza, the daughter Of Marcus Tullius
Cicero, and Octaviae, the sister of Oc-
tavius Caesar, ETC., which names were
retained even after marriage. When
there were two daughters one was
called Major and the other Minor, as
Cornelia Major and Cornelia Minor.
If there were more than two they were
distinguished by their number, thus:
Prima, Secunda, Tertia, Quarta, etc.

Solitude is matter of taste. 1t has
been the subject of much discussion.
Volumes have been written in praise

if she liked being alone. "That de-

IN SOUTH CHINA WHERE
BOYCOTT HITS HARDEST

South China Is scene Of greatest
boycott activity against America.
Hongkong Is principal port and dis
tributing center for southern China.
In the export trade Great Britain
has a commanding lead, with Germany
second.
Sale Of American goods Is now con-
fined almost exclusively to the for
cigner and for transshipment to
French China.
In 1895, American -four trade was
3.4N9,64S one-quarter sacks. In 1900 it
was 6.20J,OOO One-quarter sacks.
This startling decrease is not due
entirely to the boycott. as Australian
competition has figured conspicuously.
Natives prefer American flour and
would return to it if the boycott were
removed
Even educational institutions around
Canton and Hongkong are teaching
boycott to children.
The Chinese are exceedingly keen
In trade. 1t is difficult to gain their
confidence. but once obtained no
further difficulties need be appre-
hended.
They buy only what they want. not
what the foreigners think they should
buy.
Flour. Kerosene. sewing machines,

are the only imported commodities rep
resented by Americans.

TAUGHT TO RAISE BANANAS.
How a Cape Cod Fisherman Became

How a Cape Cod Fisherman Became
the liking of Jamaican"
In the Worlds Work Eugene +. Lyle.
Jr.. tells the remarkable story of Cap
tain Baker and jamaica how this
gentle Cape Cod fisherman became the
king OF Great Britain's richest West
Indian isle. The history of the CON
quest began thirty-five years ago with
an armada of one lone schooner. She
had two masts and could carry 100
tons. Her owner aud skipper was Lor-
emo Dow Baker. the son of II whaler
and child of the sea as we'll. lie
took cargo to AngOstura and on his
return trip carried Il lot OF bananas.
But by the time he reached New York
they had all rotted. The next time
he went he got very green bananas.
The fruit was not plentiful. SO he be-
gan to teach the people to grow them.
'"rhe first man who has ten acres in
bananas will be rich man." he told
them with earnest conviction. He
touched intimately the lives of the
blacks. He was known in their homes
and at their church socials and he
helped them to build the chapel for
which inevitably they were collecting
money He talked to the school chill
dren. rooms full Of bright-eyed little
picknnnnies. and he told them of the
good of money. Then he told them
how to get it. Grow bananas" he
said. "GrOw them wherever your man.
my will let you have foot of ground"
Captain Baker had to push his com
paign of education at both ends. In
Jamaica he taught people to grow ban
anas, but in the United States he had
to teach people to eat them. They
were not yet an ordinary article of diet
and. moreover. the yellow kind from
Jamaica was comparatively unknown.
But he has succeeded. He revived
the island from economic prostration
and it is fiourishing. He did it by
making the banana trade.
Captain Baker still lives mt Port An.

lean town. but a Boston town. In the
summer he goes back to Wellheet.
