Told Stanley All About II.
During Stanley's last stay In London
he was present one evening at a very
swell affair. and the attention paid to
him was so annoying that he was de-
lighted when he had an opportunity of
slipping away unnotlced. He found a
quiet corner In the smoking room and
was enjoying a cigar when a spruce
young fellow, who, 1t turned out. was a
lieutenant in the navy, came up.
To Stanley's surprise, the lieutenant
began to tell him all about Africa, and
1t soon became evident that he did not
know he was talking to the great ex-
plorer.
Other listeners strolled in, and pretty
soon there was quite a crowd listening
to the young man telling the most as
tonishing things about the dark CONT
nent the Kongo, the shire district, the
native races, and so on.
At first Stanley endeavored to cor
rect his mistakes, but the lieutenant
knew better, and so he permitted him
to talk on. Finally this extraordinary
and laughable scene was brought to a
conclusion by one of the guests saying:
But, Mr.. Stanley. you told u.s.

While the first actual coming OF
money is attributed to Pheidon, king
of Argos, In S95 B. c., it must not be
supposed that there had not existed a
keen appreciation of the value and
uses of money for centuries previous
to the introduction of coinage. The
ancient Egyptians had a 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 it 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

nuggets of graded uniform sizes and

and stamping of disks made from the

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, it had to give way
before the demand for smaller and

A number OF species Of flies occur
In houses, but most Of them do not
breed there. The largest percentage
consists Of the common house fly
(Musca domestica). and this is nui-
sance in every sense of the term. 1t
is not only an annoyance, but is actu-
ally dangerous as a carrier of any
sort Of germ disease. The adult gets
into everything, walks over every
thing and feeds on or at least tastes
almost everything. Germs" may be
taken up on the hairy pads of the
feet from excrementitious matter, ex-
pectorations or other waste, and may
be carried to food or directly to the in
dividual. From sickroom, flies
should be most riHdly excluded.
House flies lay their eggs on and
their larvae live in excrementtious
material of many sorts; but the IA
vorite food is horse dung, and in a
small quantity of this a great num-
ber may develop. Sometimes they
are found in garbage pals or barrels;
but these are more usually used by
other species. The larvae of flies are
maggots. and 1t takes only a little
over a week for them to pass through
all the stages, from egg to adult. De-
velopment, therefore, takes place out
doors as a rule, and only the adults
come into the house. They hibernate
there IL given a chance. and in
well-warmed residence flies are never
entirely dormant.

How Her Life Was Saved When Bit

How few people there are who are
not afraid Of snakes. Not long ago a
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was
being driven by woman. The woman
promptly tainted and the car, left to
its own resources, ran into a stone
wall and caused a serious accident.
The bite of poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. X. NJ. Fishel,

stsndsrdlzine Education.

INe@eNN's
When Mr Carnegie established his
Foundation for the Advancement OF
Teaching. he may or may not have
had In mind a unifcation and stan.
dardlziug Of college education In
North America but that IL something
which his great gift is likely TO accom-
plish. The nominal purpose Of tho
Foundation Is 10 provide a fund the In.
come from which may provide ratir.
ing pensions for aged professors IN
such nOn-sectarian colleges of the Uni
ted States, Canada and Newfoundland
as are not supported by the state.
This purpose has been strictly aG-
herel to. but in order that Il might BE-
accomplished II has been necessary
for the president and trustees 20 do
much preliminary work. What is a col.
lege? What is "non-sectarian?' Does
a small grant from state constitute
state support? These and other siml-
lar questions were fundamental. In
order 20 settle the first one, says the
Youths Companion, the officers OF the
Foundation we're Obliged 10 establish
certain standards OF admission, cur.
riculum and graduation, TO which
tyery Institution which desires its pro.
fessors 10 benefit by the fund must
conform. The direct result IS a gen
eral raising Of the standard OF college
education throushcat North America.
The result Of the investigation into
the sectarianism Of colleges is having
the effect Of defining more clearly
than has ever been done before the re.
latlons between various denomina-
tons and the colleges with which they
have been related by bonds Of one sort
or another. This, too, is a gain. Still
a third result is the establishment OF
uniform system OF accounting nong
college treasurers, which, in turr, will
make possible a better knowledge Of
and chance for wise suggestions con.
cerning the investment OF college
funds. The value Of participation In
the benefit OF this fund is keenly felt
BY the colleges. A large part OF the
time OF the trustees is devoted to in.
vesugating the claims OF American in
stitutions which desire that their pro-
fessors shall share in the pensions
Jielded by the fund.
