Mr.. Kitamura Naojiro, sculptor of
.the marble statue of a female. priced
at $4,000 yen. which is exhibited in the
fine arts building of the Toxic expo
sition. proceeded to the exposition on
June IL. at Z a. m, and deliberately
knocked down the statue and destroyed
the head and arms with an iron ham,
mer. which he had originally used in
carving the figure. The reason for this
violent proceeding was that he con-
sidered that the prize committee of
the Toxic exposition had shown bias
in their awards, and were prone to con-
fine high testimonials to artists of
their own clique-Japan Advertiser.

CALIFORNIA MONEY.
Queer Early Coinage-D. Q. Mills Is
sued First Paper Money.

sued First Paper Money.
Coins in California till the fall Of
1856 were queer kettle of fish. More
than 60 per cent of the silver and at
least % per cent of the gold were for
eign.
Most Of the other gold coins were
private coins. Moffit Il Co. got a per-
nit from the government to coin gold.
Their coinage was stamped Motif &
Co."
We had all kinds of doubloons and
smaller South and Central American
coins. OF the smaller gold coins the
French twenty franc piece led all the
others.
The English guinea was fairly repre-
sented But it passed for only its face
value, while the other gold passed for
more. The twenty franc piece, value
1915, went at 81.
There was a still greater discrepancy
in the silver coins. A one franc piece
went for % cents, and the East India
rupee, value 40 cents, went for 90
cents; the five franc piece, 81. The
French silver represented about go per
cent of the silver circulation.
German silver thalers, worth GO cents,
went at 81. Everything above 90 cents
was 81, and everything above % cents
was so cents. French bank in San
Francisco was said to have got rich
shipping French coin in exchange for
gold dust United States coin was
scarcer until tho mint was established
In the fall of 1856 the banks refused
to take any foreign coins except at
heavy discount. The result was that
in a few months all foreign coin disap
peared. 1t proved a bonanza for the
saloon people. They would still give
drink for a franc, while the banks gave
only 1919 cents. The saloon people
gathered them and the rupees in at
old prices and sold to the banks for
bullion and made a good thing.
But for few years We suffered bad
ly for silver change. Even until 1856
gold dust circulated to q considera BILE
extent in mining districts, but the
scales were always used.
There was no paper money until d
o. Mills & Co. issued their gold notes
about 1853. In getting change for AT
old octagon $50, gold, often as many
as four or five nationalities would be
represented in the change. On ali
drafts sent east S3 was charged by the
express companies until Adams s. Co
and Page, Bacon & CO. failed and left
the field to Wells-Fargo: then it was
raised to So.
Greenbacks were never recognized as
money, only as commodity. They
were used for buying postage and rev
enue stamps. All mercantile billheads
and notes had the special contract en-
forcement for gold. California even
paid the claims of the federal govern
ment in gold. And it came in mighty
handy to Uncle Sam in 1862 and 1868.
The old style Californian still has an
inclination for the yellow stuf.-P. Z.

A Vague Prescription.

INDIANA WHEAT YIELD
ABOVE THE AVERAGE
Estimate Places 1t 100000
Bushels in Advance.
TWELVE YEAR AVERAGE.

Modern Miller of ST Louis estima-
ties the wheat yield in Indiana this
year at 3S,000,0 900 bushels. The pre-
dictions of this authority are general
ly accepted by the grain trade as
conservative. In view of the pessi-
mistic reports of spring and early
summer this estimate is something of
surprise to grain men. This is {. re-
duction of but 100000 bushels from
last years bumper crop and has been
exceeded but three times during the
last II years. The record crop was
that of 1898 when 51,000,000 bushels
were garnered. In 1902, the yield
amounted to about 44,000,000 bushels.
The average yield in Indiana during
the last twelve years amounted to
about 31,000,000 bushels.

WORM EATING.
One OF the Trades CIassed as DAN
gerous In England.

One OF the Trades Classed as DAN
gerous In England.
Time was when it was difficult to
set of twelve solid dining room chairs
for anything less than E10. But Nous
avons change tout celia they say in
Brittany. Nowadays, thanks to the
indefatigable labors. of the worm
eater, we can purchase furniture of al
most any age. in almost any condi-
ton of senile decay, for modest sum.
The worm eater is indeed public ben
efactor. one who does good by stealth
and would blush to find it fame if he
had not long ago renounced the gentle
art of blushing.
He is usually an elderly man with a
slight limp, is the worm eater. In ear
ly youth he was apprenticed to job
bling house carpenter, but by sheer
ability, by pluck. grit, perseverance and
the exercise of those qualities of body
and mind which men call genius, he
has risen above his station and the
sphere in which he was born and now
occupies q position in the professional
world as far above that of his original
employer as Portland place is above
Pimlico. He is not, however, unduly
uplifted by success. He does not de-
sert his old master. Nay. more, upon
his talents do the finances of his en-
ployer largely depend. Nainly may the
carpenter piece together fragments of
deal into the shape of a bureau; vainly
may he turn empty wooden biscuit
not look at his wares until the master
hand of the worm eater has been laid
upon these trumpery modern fabrics
with a mellowing touch that is only
comparable to that of Father Time.
Wrestling the common deal armchair
from the clutch of the carpenter, our
hero proceeds to paint 1t all over with
solution of beer and boot backing
until it presents the appearance of ex-
treme age. He then takes a diminutive
girnlet from his pocket and makes a
number of minute holes in the legs and
back of the chair until even an expert
would think that worm had been
making It's mighty nest for centuries
in the wood from which this article of
furniture is manufactured. The worm
while you wait hence the old saying
to the effect that the worm will turn.
You cannot prevent him.
