While the first actual coining Of
money is attributed to Pheidon. king
Of Argos, In 805 b. c., It must not be
supposed that there had not existed
keen appreciation Of the value and
uses of money for centuries previous
to the introduction of coinage. The
ancient Egyptians had gold and sill
YER standard of currency, and their
money was in the form Of gold and sill
yer ornaments, rings and nuggets. the
purchasing value of which depended
on their weight The Greeks improved
somewhat on this system by first mark
Ing the weight on gold and silver mug
gets so that 1t would no longer be
necessary to reweigh them every time
they were to be used for purposes Of
exchange or trade. Then came the In
PRODUCTION Of gold, silver and copper
nuggets of graded uniform sizes and
value. The next step was the molding
and stamping of disks made from the
precious metals. Some of these first
coins were enormous. the idea appar-
emily being to discourage the greedy
from attempting to accumulate and
carry around too many Of them. There
were copper coins as large as dinner
plates. While the idea was based on
excellent motives, 1t had to give way
before the demand for smaller and
more convenient forms of currency,
and the giant pennies soon dwindled
In size to meet the popular demand.

Dividing the Trout Family.

The majority of naturalists divide
the SALINE. or salmon, tribe into four
speeies-the salmon. the sea trout, the
brook trout and the lake trout Scam
dinavian biologists reduce these four
to two species--salmon and trout-con-
sidering all the different kinds of trout
as mere varieties of one species. There
is little doubt about the identity of the
lake trout and the brook trout, and ex-
perIments by Mr. Cllgny with the fish
of northern France make 1t appear
that there is no more doubt about the
Identity of the common trout and the
sen trout.
IL there be II difference between the
adults of the two varieties there Is
none between the fry, The fry of the
two kinds cannot be distinguished one
from the other until the trout, leaving
fresh water, seeks brackish water In
preparation for acclimatizing itself In
salt. This takes place from May to
July. during which time the fry of the
common or brook trout. If brought into
brackish water. gradually assumes the
livery of the salt water fish. There Is
no room for doubt. according to this
French zoologist. that the sea trout and
the brook trout are one and the same
species. The sea trout are branch
Of the brook trout II some Of them
are Matched as sea trout. many others
are hatcheG as brook trout. and these
young fish in descending the rivers be-
come true sea trout.-New York World.

A STORY OF NELSON.
The Presence of Mind of the Grea,
Euolish Admiral.

The Presence of Mind of tho Great
English Admiral.
Captain Mahan relates the following
anecdote concerning Lord Nelson's let
ter proposing a truce to the crown
prince of Denmark, dispatched In the
midst of hostilities:
The decks being cleared of all parti-
tions fore and aft and all ordinary con-
yeniences removed Nelson wrote in
full view of all oil the deck where he
was. at the casing of the rudder head
standing, and as he wrote an officer
standing by took copy. The original,
In his own hand, was put into an en-
yelope and sealed, with his arms. The
officer was about to use n wafer but
Nelson said:
mo; send for sealing wax and can
die"
Some delay followed owing to the
mans having had his head taken off
by ball. "Send another messenger
for the wax" said the admiral when
informed-of this, and when the waters
were again suggested he simply reiter
ated the order.
A large quantity Of wax was used
and extreme care taken that the i'm
preston OF the seal should be perfect
Colonel Stewart asked:
why under so hot fire and after
SO lamentable an accident have you ut.
tached so much Importance to cir
eumstance apparently triding"
Had l made use of a wafer" re-
piled Nelson, "the wafer would have
been still wet when the letter was
presented TO the crown prince. He
would have inferred that the letter
was s0nt Off In hurry and that we
had some pressing reasons for being In
Il hurry. The wax told no tales"

A SMART ENGLISHMAN.
Tho Story He Told Of His Experience
In "the States"

\ tail, practical Engllshman went over
10 the States" the ether day from
London. He took lodgings at an inn In
Il small village, which shall be name
less. He had dinner, and among these
who sat at the table with him was the
waiting maid, whom he designated as
SERVANT" but he received an indig-
nant correction from the landlord
''We call our servants. sir, helps
They are not oppressed; they are not
Russian serfs."
"All right" said the Britisher; Il
shall remember"
And he did, for in the morning he
awoke the whole house by calling out
at the top of his voice, which was like
the tearing OF strong rag.
Help, help! Wafer, waterr
In an instant every person equal to
The task rushed into his room with II
pail OF water.
Il am much obliged TO you, am
sure" he said, but / don't want SO
much water. you know ] only want
enough TO shave with"
shave WITH said the landlord.
What did you mean by calling: Help!
Water? We thought the house was
afire"
you told me TO call the servant
help and | did. Did you think
would cry 'Watern when / meant 1re?"
The explanation, II would SEEM was
satisfactory, and he can call the serv-
ants servants" as much us he likes at
that place now.--London Answers

SENATE OF LllLlpUT.
The Way Or. johnson outwitted the
House of Commons.

House of Commons.
Parliamentary bodies were long
great stronghold of resistance to the
press Reporters were strictly barred
from them, and reports of their pro
ceedlngs were sternly punished, It
was among the triumphs for the right
and for common sense which Franklin
achieved that he caused the chamber
OF the provincial assembly of Pennsyl-
vania to be thrown open TO publicity
Nevertheless no reports were allowed
Of either the Continental congress or
the constitutional convention.
DR.. Johnson's violation of the cher
ished privacy of the British house OF
commons is a classic story. He report
ed its debates without entering Its sa-
cred precincts, aud In order TO escaps
ported them without mentioning the
body or any Of its members by name
Setting up an imaginary senate of
Lilliput' and giving fictitious names to
the leading members of parliament, he
edited for years the readers of the
journal which then boasted the .lar-
gest circulation" In England
Receiving few scanty notes OF what
was going on at Westminster, he elab-
Grated them into brilliant spread He
was, indeed, the illustrious founder OF
the immortal craft of rewrlters. His
discerning readers came to know not
only that the senate of Lilliput was the
house of commons, but that "Blefscu"
stood for France and "Mildendo' for
London; that "sprugs" meant pounds,
that "Nardac" was the Duke of New
castle, and so on. What his notes lack
ed his imagination readily supplied.
Never was the eloquence of pariia-
ment more brilliant than in Johnson's
reports of the debates, in which, he ad-
mitted, he took care that the Whig
dogs got the worst of 1t, although Pitt
himself must have felt Modified when
he read the wonderful outburst attrib-
uted to him by Johnson on "the afro
cious crime of being a young man." 1t
Is the best remembered of all Pitts
speeches, and II was written by John
sou .'ln u garret In Exeter street,
Boston Globe.
