Liquor Traffic Excluded.

New Hampshire was formerly @ prohibi-
ton state, but the law was not enforced
and "speak-easies" and blind tigers" were
FOUND In every village. Recently q local
option law was passed under which by
vote OF the people, one saloon may be IL
censeo for certain number of inhabitants;
and the number OF licenses varies accord
ing 10 the population. But only IS out
OF 235 towns in the state voted to allow
saloons and they charge 81 200 a year for
license. which Is almost prohibitiye Tho
village OF Hanover has sufficient population
for one saloon. but voted against license
and there Is saloon within a radius ~
twenty-eight miles.
Hanover stands on the east bank of the
Connecticut river and at the Vermont end
of a bridge is the town OF Norwich where
a groceryman. named George F. Kiblng
several years ago used TO sell liquor to the
students. He was detected, indicted tried
and convicted on forty different counts and
sentenced by the court to one year In the
workhouse for every ofrense. which made
a total Of forty years imprisonment After
he had served little more than two years
scarlet fever broke ont IN his family his
wife and several children being taken
a ticket OF leave from the workhouse In
order that he might look after them and
was shortly afterward pardoned upon q

never return.
Norwich is the scene of Hoyt's farce. "A
Temperance Town" and kibling. who was
an habi;ual offender against the prohibition
laws Is one OF the characters.
Under the local option laws Of Vermont,
which are similar to those OF New Hamp-
shire. the village OF Norwich is entitled
TO one saloon. and a majority OF the cti-
voted for II. This caused great
anxiety among the college authorities

It is a strange but we'll authenticat-
ed fact that the wild creatures of the
woods dislike the sound of that solemn
hymn ".Old Hundred" Muir, the nat
uralist, proved the truth of this by
singing 1t In the woods of the sierras
to the birds and squirrels, which were
very tame from never having been
frightened by the report of gun or
other alarming sound. They would
come and sit near him upon the
branches Of trees and listen to any
lively tune he might sing, blinking
their bright eyes as though they liked
It, but2at the first sound Of "Old Hun
dred" they would beat quick retreat
to their holes or nests and never. ap-

MONEY SYSTEMS.
The Worlds Coinage Middle and the
&s Range Of Units Of Value.

The Worlds Coinage Middle and the
.~&s Range Of Units Of Value.
@ Twenty-six different monetary units
are used by. the forty-eight principal
countries Of the world. Thus Great
Britain uses the sovereign or pound
sterling, France and six other countries
Of Europe use a unit equal to the
franc, and Canada and the United
States use the dollar:
K In value these different units range
from a. to 494.33 cents Of money Of
the United States. They are represent
ed in their turn by coins the values Of
which are either multiples or fractional
parts Of the value sof their own chief
units, and there are no doubt at least
200 such sufficient coins not one of
which seems to have a value equal to
that Of any commonly known unit Of
weight, as the. gram, for example, or
the ounce of gold, although forty-three
Of these forty-eight countries have ac-
copied gold as their standard measure
Of values,
! This lack Of logical relation Of coins
to any widely used unit Of weight of
the precious metals may be due to the
fact that money systems seem to have
grown up haphazard, under diverse
conditions of life, in different parts Of
the world.
Such diversity in moneys may have
been Of little moment when millions of
people spent their lives knowing moth
ing Of the existence of other millions
and there was little traffic. But these
differences in monetary units are Of
Importance now that international
commerce includes millions Of tons Of
products of the toll Of all lands and
billions Of dollars each year to settle
its bills, for such differences put upon
trade wholly unnecessary tax. No
account is made here Of the burden
laid on domestic trade by like varia-
ton In the value of such units at home,
as Of the tael of China, which has six
teen different values within that en-
pire.-Moody's Magazine.

FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her In Five Days.

"After my granddaughter Of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by a furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part Of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered a great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,

OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN.
Armament Of Old Craft Was Made to
Last.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago.
The cannon were all of the smooth
bore kind, and in order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full Of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also u%nsuccess-
full. The mi were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna.
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament of
the war craft which sailed the seas
in 1872.
