When the English first occupied the IS

century, it is estimated that there were
about 100. 600 Maoris in New Zealand. They
were divided into tribes, each having It's
own uuwrittcn laws regarding land, cuitl-
walton and other social matters.
The English found that they had a genius
for war. showing unusual ability In build

and they experienced considerable diiiicuity
in subduing them.
The Maoris were also skilled IN seVerai

There are about 5000 Maoris left. These
have retired to the northern provinces of
New Zealand. where certain reservations
have been set apart as their exclusive prop
erty.
Schools have been established which the
Maori children attend regularly. 1t is said
that such of them as continue into the
higher branches of learning are worthy
rivals of white students. Some of the
Maoris have become large landed proprie-

and especially of the fact that their women
obtained this privilege at the same time
that 1t was given to the white women Of
New Zealand, in 1893.

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

SOco AISI AdESA IAOASy.
From the P. E. Magazine.
Coins in California till the fall of 1855 were
a queer kettle of fish. More than GO per
cent of the silver and at least Is per cent
of the gold foreign.
Most of the other gold coins were private
coins Motif & Co. got a permit from the
government to coin gold. Their coinage
was confined to 10 and 20 cents, and were
stamped 'Moffit & CO..
We had all kinds of doubloons and smaller
South and Central American coins. OF the
smaller gold coins the French 2O-franc piece
led all the others.
The English guinea was fairly represent
ed. But it passed for only its face value,
while the other gold passed for more. The
20-franc piece, value 1913, went at 81.
There was a still greater discrepancy In
2o cents, and the East India rupee, value
45 cents, went for 80 cents; the fve-franc
piece, 81. The French silver represented
about GO per cent of the silver circulation.
German silver thalers, worth - cents.
went at 81. Everything above 80 cents was
81 and everything above % cents was 80
cents A 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 the 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
franc, while the banks gave only 12s cents.
The saloon people gathered them and the
rupees IN at old prices and sold to the banks
for bullion an made a good thing
But for a few years we suffered badly
for silver change. Even unit. 1886 gold

ways used.

Greenbacks were never recognized

used for buying postage and revenue
stamps All mercantile bilheads and notes
had the special contract enforcement for

1862 and 1863. The old style Californian
still has an inclining for the yellow stuff.

sPEcTAcLEs MODERN INVENTION
Glass Made by Ancients Not Perfectly
Transparent.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Did Nero wear spectacles? Pliny relates
that the Emperor Nero used a precious
stone through which he gazed on the gadi-
atorial combats DR.. Magnus the latest
authority to examine the passage critically,
holds that this means that the emperor was
in the habit of gazing upon an emerald
which he used to carry with him for the
purpose of resting his eyes when they be-
came tired of looking at the shows.
This view is corroborated by the belief
of antiquity that green has restful effect
upon the eyes. Contrivances for bringing
the rays of the sun to a focus in order to
produce combustion have been employed
almost from time inmemorial. Burning
glasses were used to kindle fires, and these
must have been of considerable size even
in a country like Greece. where the sun
shines hot most of the year. Moreover, we
are told they were kept in chemists shops
for the purpose.
Though the art of making glass of certain
kinds is old, spectacles had to wait the d-s-
covery or invention of some method that
would produce 1t perfectly transparent
Specimens of glass have been found IN
Egyptian tombs more than 1000 years old
and glass bottles are represented on tombs
at least 1900 years earlier. In 1hesopo-
tamia the art of making glass has been
traced for at least 2Go0 years b. {.
But all the glass of antiquity was OF IN
ferior quality and was almost useless for
purposes where the rays of light were to be
transmitted unbroken and with und min
iShed energy.
Mirrors also were made in Egypt thou
sands of years before the Christian era.

recluse for forty years he is known as
Brother Andrew. To the world in which he
lived before he entered the Trappst mon

Henry Gillespie.
Brother Andrew was on his way from
Chicago to Tomah, Wis. to visit a sister.
For the last forty years he has been in
unbroken seclusion within the walls of the
Trappist monastery at Dubuque, Iowa.
This monastery is one of two such insttu-
tons in the country. Because of the H.
ness and death of a sister in Chicago
Brother Andrew got a leave of absence of
five days to attend the funeral and visit
relatives.
Upon his entrance once more to the out

and donned the same broadcloth suit in
which he applied to the monastery for ad-

CORRECT SPELLING.
The Old-Fashioned Style Has Been
Readopted.
From the Utica Press.

From the Utica Press.
The Importance Of correct spelling is not
likely to be overestimated How best to
teach spelling in the public schools is a
question which has been very much dis
cussed, and about which there is a variety
Of opinions. 1t is taught differently now
from what 1t was in the old days and
the question is whether the rising genera
ton can spell better than its ancestors If
children could only be made to appreciate
how essential the ability to spell correctly
is, and how much it would be worth to
them in future life, they would all strive
for excellence in this branch. 1t is worth
while to stimulate interest in it wherever
possible, and no better way is found than
through the old-fashioned spelling bee and
spelling down In school
Return has been made that ancient
practice in the public schools of Cleveland
and the authorities there are quoted as
saying that the children in the elementary
grades spell six times better than they did
before. If 1t has worked as we'll as that
in Cleveland, it will work well elsewhere
and deserves to be added to the curriculum.
The value Of the spelling bee is simply that
1t makes a contest and competition of it,
in which children are anxious to excel, and
will study more for that than for the mere
purpose of learning their lessons.

Within the little sanctuary now stands a
bishops chair, known as The Glastonbury
Cathedral an ancient and historic monu-
ment. which will stand for all time as a
witness of the affection between the British
and the American churches. Glastonbury
Abbey, in England, is associated with the
earliest history of the church, reaching
back to the days when Christianity was
first introduced into ancient Britain as ira
dition has it, by Joseph of Arimatnea him
self The abbey has been rebuilt again and
again, much of the original material being
incorporated in each new structure, until
the present building, which dates from the
time of Richard Occur de Lion and the CRU
stones from the old Abbey Church were
sent to Washington as gift from the
church of Glastonbury to the churchmen of
America. These stones have since been
shaped into bishops chair for use in the
cathedral.
In the little sanctuary also is an altar.
which will be placed in the cathedral as
soon as that building is ready for it. II

which tell the story of the crucifiXion, en-

Solomon al Jerusalem, from which the ma
quarry is in the side of skull-shaped hill.
which many people believe to be the real
Calvary, and upon the other side of it is
a sepulcher with two chambers chiseled out
Of the living rock in which many believe

Tomb because the late Gen Charles Cor
don wrote number of articles to prove
that it was the real Holy Sepulcher.
