The others territory embraced a part

the two operators, leaning back in
their chairs. were discussing the news
of the day when the sounder Of the
southern wire began to click. The OBJ
orator exchanged the few necessary
preliminaries. then began to typewrite
the message. The man on the western

A Brave Rriton.

When the attack was made on Sidop.
during the war with Syria. it became
necessary for the British troops to ad-
vance across a long. unprotected
bridge in the face of battery Of six
guns. which completely commanded the
approach. The men were unwilling to
expose themselves to certain death,
when Arthur Cumming. carefully dress
ed in full uniform. stepped forward to
the middle of the bridge 1t was i'm
mediately swept by the fire of the bat

away, there stood Cumming intact,
carefully brushing the dust from his
boots, after which he stood erect. fixed
a single glass in his eve and looked
back at the men. This was too much,
and they captured that bridge and bat

twice. three. four, FIVE, even nine

Mountain Terraces In Luzon.

Governor General Smith of the Phil.
ippines recently made tour of the
mountain provinces Of northern Luzon,
chiefly inhabited by pagan tribes On
| his return to Manila he said: 1.-THE
journey through the mountain country
was a revelation. I have never seen
such cultivation as we saw in the
mountains. Those people have ter
| raced the mountains in some instances
thousand feet high, and every bit of
the land is under cultivation.
II do not believe there is anything in
the world that can equal the manner
in which the people of the mountains
have made their country productive.
1t certainly surpasses anything / have
ever seen. The terraces in Japan are
pygmies compared with it, The earth
and stone We're brought for miles, and
the most wonderful part about it is
that the terraces are as solid and sub
stantial as if they were part of the
mountain ITSELF
Some Of them are seventy or q hun
dred feet high and remain undisturbed
through all sorts of weather and land
slides. And at the time these terraces
were made the people were under
arms, working with their knives and
shields close at hand and with sentries
on every high point of land and noun

throwing them into little piles and put
ting down notes on slip of paper.
When he had cleared up the lot he
said had $1O.25 coming to me.
'At first thought he was doing me.
but he was not. He showed me a
dozen or so italian coins that had been
demonetiZed and were worth about 40
cents on the dollar. There was a nice
little pile of counterfeits that were not
worth Il cent, and altogether only
about third of the coins that
brought home were worth their full
value
"The only ccn~o.ation l had was thai
| thanked my stars | am in the inSur
ance business and not in the exchange
business. for my poor little brair
could not carry half the things that
those fellows have to remember"
n The man with the coins did not ex
-agGarate. There are thousands of diff.
ferent coins floating about that
money changer has to know. He has
to keep In mind every demonetized
coin made within the last hundred
years.
In addition to that, there are counter
feits. The Immigrants bring over heaps
Of bad coins. Many Of them buy up
counterfeits cheap, with the hope of
exchanging them at Ellis island.
Then there are the coins Of the South
American countries. They are worse
than those of the European countries.
Brazil, for instance, has a scheme all
its own. Certain notes are good for ten
years. After that time for every year
they lose 10 per cent of their face
value until the whole value is used up
and they are worth only the paper
they are printed on.
AS one man expressed 1t, you have to
know the history Of the world to be a
money changer. A peculiar part Of the
business is the reshipment Of coins
back to the countries whence they
came. Often during the rush season
one firm sends back a million coins,
while 1t Is estimated that in the course
Of year 100000 in foreign money
is reshipped to Europe and a million to
the rest Of the world.
Money changing is business Just
like any other. They do not exchange
they buy it, and when you go
there with foreign coins they buy them
from you at stated price. When you
go there to get foreign coins you buy |
them from them at certain price just |
as you buy eggs and cigars.-New York |
