s,29s,Ooo,ooo FRANCS MISSING.
Half of Frances Coinage for a Century
Has Disappeared.

What becomes of all the money that's
coined is a question that is now puzzling
France because of a report by NJ Ar
naune. director of the mint, published re.
Gently. This document asserts that s.
293,OO0.0O0 francs, Q.65S 600. 0001 of
coined money has disappeared from cir
culation in the last 100 years
The present gold coinage Of France
dates back to 1903, the silver pieces to
1876, copper to 1852. They began to
make nickel coins in 1908. In the cen.
fury from 1903 to 1908 there was coined
q total of about 15,9l6,0O0,0o0 francs
From this there is a deduction TO be
made for certain issues demonetized and
for light pieces recoined. The net
amount was 15.2S3. 100000 francs.
More than half of this has disappeared
Estimates of the money in actual circu-
iation in France have been made by the
state in 1878, 1885, 1891, 1897 and 1903

thought that in a gaeat many cases il
~ purely nervous or hysterical affiic-
tion This statement, though coming
from one of the leading authorities on
the brain and the nervous system, will
not by any means convince all sufferers
that their attacks are often imaginary or
that fit of sneezing can be provoked by
an association of ideas rather than an
actual irritation.
To substantiate his assertion this
specialist claims that he can produce a
violent attack of sneeZing ON the part of
a patient by himself smelling of a bunch
of artificial paper roses. The sight of
the flowers coupled with the thought of
their scent, is sufficient in such nerv-
Gus system to influence the patients
sense of smell enough to make him be-
heye he actualiy does smell the roses.
1t is the strong effect of the mind
which sometimes brings recurrence of
the malady at regular seasons of each
year. One afflicted looks forward with
dread to a certain date. remembering
that it was on such and such a day the
year before that he suffered an attack.
When the day arrives he finds he has not
feared in vain. for with it come the
expected sneezes and their attendant dis
comforts.
