TOBACCO AS LEGAL TENCER
In Colonial Times, and After, Weed
Was Looked Upon as Money
in the South.

In colonial times, and indeed after
the independence of the United
States had been established, tobacco
was legal tender in the southern
states. Thus in Maryland and Vir-
ginia all government fees and taxes
were payable in tobacco until 1906,
when federal money was substituted.
But in the meantime the District of
Columbia had been ceded to the fed
eral government, with such laws as
were in force there, unless specifical-
ly altered by congress. So, as con-
sequence of the pressure of other
work and interests upon congress, to-
bacco remained legal tender in the
District of Columbia until recent
times. As late as 1888 the fees of
the clerk of the supreme court, for
example, in any transaction where
the federal government was itself
party, were still appraised in pounds
of tobacco and settled at the treasury
by the old standard of valuation. 1t
is possible that there remain some
exceptional fees overlooked by con-
gress which may still be settled in
tobacco.

GREAT LOSS OF LABOR.

Probably no reader has the least
idea what is the total amount of i'm
prisonment to which offenders IN
this country are sentenced every
year. The figures are remarkable. In
round numbers $50 people receive
sentences of 1900 years penal servi-
tude and $4,000 people receive SEN
fences of 16,6O0 years imprison-
ment. That is a total of 10000
years. What a dreadful loss this is
to the country! Not only have all
these people to be fed, clothed,
housed, guarded, but they are prac-
tically idle-or, at least, their work
is of little value. The great ma
jority Of them are in the prime Of
working life, aged from 20 to Co.

TOLD BY ROARING MUSCLES
Strange Sounds in Human Body That
Enable Physicians to Diagnose
Disease.

"If a writer wrote of roaring
muscles, you would laugh at him.
Joints crack, the stomach thunders,
but muscles, you would say, don't
roar. That is your mistake. They
do"
The speaker, physician, put his
finger in his ear.

said he. ''Try it, and you, too, will
hear the sound. And to prove that

FIGHT ON MOSQUITOES.

Some of the cities of Florida are
almost entirely dependent on els
terms for water supply and it has
been realized lately that these tanks
must furnish favorable place for
the propagation of mosquitoes. One
of the suggested means of conducting
warfare against the pest consisted Of
stocking these reservoirs with small
fish to feed on the mospito larvae.
This method has been tried in one
place and another in Florida, and
has proved successful in every case.
The fish eat the larvae greedily,
keeping the water clear of them,
and live for years, even in tanks that
are covered, and their living place
one of darkness.

INGENIOUS DEVICE.

When the members of the British
Institution of Electrical Engineers
paid a visit of inspection to north
ern Italy lately they were interested
in device used to protect the over
head transmission lines of an electric
traction system from lightning dis
charges. The device consists of jets
of water, which form a permanent
earth at the Monbegno generating
station on the Valtellina line. The
electric resistance of the Jets was
said to be sufficient to prevent a seri-
Gus loss of current, while not too
great to enable them to serve for
protection against lightning.

SULTAN'S CIGARETTES.

The sultan of Turkey is very par
ticular concerning the quality of his
cigarettes, which accordingly have to
be made in a small factory in the
royal palace itself. Some half
dozen workmen are daily engaged,
and Turkish grown tobacco is raised
specially for the sultan's use. The
best crops in the country are marked
for his special benefit, and what is
not actually selected for making into
cigarettes must be destroyed. A
hundredweight Of leaves may be
turned over before pound sufficient
ly fine is found.

Finding this work interfering with
his own professional labors, the en-
gineer produced an apparatus for
rocking the cradle by electricity. He
had another switch connected with a
photograph, which as soon as the
cradle was set in motion played some
lullaby, favorite of the little one,
and so sent him to sleep. The en-
gineer has also constructed an cleo
trio apparatus which gives the little
recipient its milk at intervals.

HIS ERROR OF JUDGMENT.

81 like the looks of that honey"
said the customer. 81 think I'll take
about four pounds of it."
The grocer's boy was about to
wrap it up when the customer sud-
denly stopped him;
"Hold on" he said, els that Cali
fornia honey?"
"No, sir" answered the boy. cts
the home grown kind"
"Well, then, l won't take it. Some
people don't like the taste of Cali
fornia honey, but it just suits me.
That's the kind | wanted"
After the customer had gone away
the grocer's boy went into the back
room and kicked himself.
1t was California honey.
Always tell the truth, dear chill
dren. Sometimes it pays best.

KNEW WHEN HE WAS HAPPY.

The soul of an editor who died
of starvation was being conducted to
the Elysian fields. As they passed
the portals of the internal regions,
he asked his guide if he might not
go in and look around. The guide
consented, but warned him to stay
only few minutes, as he could not
wait long.
A long time passed, and the editor
had not returned; so the guiding an
gel went in search of him. He
found him before cage in which a
number of doomed wretches were
being toasted on red-hot griddles.
Over the cage was the sign ''Delin-
quent Subscribers"
Come" said the guide; eve must
be going
Don't wait for me-" replied the
editor, "I'm not coming. This is
heaven enough for me n-Lippin-

THE CARBURETOR.

The carburetor is an apparatus in
which is effected the mixing of the
fuel necessary for the operation of
internal combustion motors. Such
mixture is composed of atmospheric
air and the vapors of liquid hydro
carbon in proper proportions. In
order that it may give the best re-
suits, carburetor should furnish an
accurately proportional mixture,
that is to say, one containing just
the proportions of fuel required, and,
moreover, containing such fuel as
nearly as possible in the state of va
por.

MIGHT BE BETTER EMPLOYED
Suggestion That Large Fund Be
Raised by Sale of London's
Disused Churches.

A century ago there were 100
churches within ''the square mile" of
London city. Now there are little
more than half that number. 1t has
been suggested that 80 of these
should be demolished and the funds
thus liberated employed in church
work elsewhere. The site Of All Hal
lows, in Lombard street, is said to be
worth 100000, while that of st.
Michael's, Cornhill, is valued at no
less than three-quarters of million
sterling. st. Peters, Cornhill,
stands on equally valuable ground.
The aggregate site-values Of the 80
churches which it is proposed should
be incorporated with other parishes
is put down at three and half mil
lions.

EVIDENTLY FEARS BOMBS.

Prince Ferdinand, who now styles
himself car of Bulgaria, rules over
a turbulent and not easily governed
people. Continual watchfulness has
made him extremely nervous. Some
time ago he was out driving in Carls-
bad, and appeared to be deeply bur-
led in thought. AS his carriage was
turning corner a street boy picked
up paper bag that was lying in
the road, blew it up with his mouth
and exploded it with loud report.
The prince started to his feet, gave a
terrified glance around, sprang from
the carriage and made off rapidly in
the direction Of his hotel.

VICTORY OVER GYPSY MOTH.

A. II. Kirkland, superintendent
OF the gypsy moth campaign in Mas
sachusetts, has determined by obser-
walton that the young of the gypsy
moth are not able to feed on the
pine for the first three weeks after
Matching. 1t follows therefore that
plantations of white pine may be
made without fear of the depreda-
tons Of these insects provided all
underground and contiguous decidu-
Gus trees, etc., are cut away, as any
caterpillars Matched within territory
thus protected would starve.-From

A SAFE FUTURE.

A doctor had discarded his horse
and buggy and had bought an auto.
As usual, the repair bills begin to
mount up. Whereat a patient re-
marked: cit would have been cheap
er to stick to the horse and buggy"
''Not cheaper in the long run" re-
torted the medico. 'You know the
state supports automobile owners in
their old age"
81 never heard that!" exclaimed
the patient, in surprise.
ooh, yes" the doctor answered
him, "when the automobile drives its
owner either to the foolish house OF
the poorhouse."

the more robust American vines. To
