The Worrying Habit.

I asked a physician what cure he would suggest for the worrying habit "I would prescribe common sense," he said. And if a man or woman hasn't got a stock on hand and can't cultivate one no doctor can give 1t to him or her. This worrying nonsense grows The best means to cure it lies in the hands of the woman herself. If she will just call little common sense to her aid, resolve not to borrow trouble to be cheerful and think upon the best side of things, she will live longer and retain her beauty longer. Every wom- an wants to keep beautiful to the last Why does she take the course which is sure to make her yellow skinned, dull eyed and thoroughly unlovely?"
 Why, indeed?-New York Globe.

Vanilla.

1t is curious to read that vanilla was employed by the Aztecs of Mexico as an ingredient in the manufacture of chocolate prior to the discovery of America by the Spaniards and that it was brought to Europe as a perfume with indigo, cochineal and cacao ten years before the arrival of tobacco on our shores. The name vanilla is de rived from the Spanish vaina, a pod or capsule. Dampier described it as a little pod full of small black seeds and like the stem of tobacco leaf, so much so that his men when they found the dried pods at first threw them away, wondering why the Spanlards should lay up tobacco stems" - Chambers Journal.

COIN CURIOSITIES.
A Great Variety of Materials Has
 Been Used For Money.

A Great Variety of Materials Has
 Been Used For Money.
 Among the early Roman copper coins was one that weighed nine and one half ounces and must have proved in- convenient small change for the Ro- man matron when she went shop ping. China of all countries, ancient and modern, exhibits the greatest vari- ety in the matter of coins. The earli- est money on record, about 2000 B. C., consisted of shells and coWries. The cowry was used for small change, while tortoise shell and purple cypraea shells, the latter ranging in size from & few inches to a foot and a half in length, represented money of higher value. A decrease in the supply of shells and increasing prosperity called for more handy medium of exchange and cash, the coin with square hole in the center, came into existence and remains in use to this day.
 Among the earlier Chinese coins was one of porcelain about three-quarters of an inch in diameter and d quarter 
 Eternal Prosperity" A very curious knife money was at one time used in the state of Tsi. It was of copper shaped like a bill hook, about seven inches long and fitted at the end with q 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, begun about 1636, has existed up to the pres ent day. A curious coin made of mixture of silver and copper was long In use in Japan. It varied in size from a small pea to large bean. Lead coins were also used there for five cen turies. Glass was employed as a sub- stance for coin for many centuries in Egypt, while wooden money is men toned in many of the Buddhistic writ ings.

The Canadian Line.

The boundary line between Canada and the United States is marked with iron posts at mile intervals for a great part of its length. Cairns, earth mounds and timber posts are also used, and through the forests and swamps line a rod wide, clear of trees and under wood, has been cut. Across the lakes artificial islands have been made to support the cairns, which rise about eight feet above the high water mark. Exchange

No Romance.

He dropped her hand with a sigh of defeat.
 Mutely she looked into his eyes, as though seeking in his glance some mes sage that would convey the word she sought.
 With one slow look at her hand as it lay where he had let it fall. he shook his head slowly and said:

A Miser's Wish.

Greedylot, who is rather mlserly, was recovering from long illness. "How was it, doctor" he asked one day, 'that I was able to live so many weeks with out eating"
 "Why, you were fed by the fever"
 Are you sure?" Then after a mo- ment's reflection, T wish I could give 1t to my servants"

Speaking Their Minds.

The queer thing about the people who boast of always speaking their minds is that they nearly always have such disagreeable minds to speak. Did you ever hear any one preface a con- pliment, commendation or anything gracious or pleasant by saying, q sl- ways must speak my mind Y'-Wom- ans Life.

On the Common Highway.

We are learning that a standard of social ethics is not attained by travel Ing sequestered pathway, but by walking on the thronged and common road where all must turn out for one another, and at least see the size of one another's burdens.-Jane Addams.
