MONEY SYSTEMS.
The Worlds Coinage MIDDLE and the
Range OF Units of Value.

The Worlds Coinage MIDDLE and the
Range Of Units of Value.
Twentysix 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 unit equal to the
frame, and Canada and the United
States use the dollar
In value these different units range
from "A to 49433 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 of their own chief
units, and there are no doubt at least
200 such sufficient coins not one of
which seems to have 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-
cepted gold as their standard measure
of values.
This lack Of logical relation of coins
10 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.

powntroadan Husbands.

The middle class woman in England
now generally affects to be superior
to the social position she occupies; she
endeavors to dress, live and act up to
the highest standard she has adopted
as her own. This attitude and its at
tendant circumstances eventually in
duce the ordinary middle class husband
to regard her as socially superior to
himself. In time, from this cause, he
becomes little better than a footman
to his own understandable in Lon
don Truth.

An Old Soma.

From the hieroglyphics on an Egyp-

almost identical with one sung by the
Egyptian peasants considerably over
5000 years later than this was written:
