GREEKS FIRST TO USE COINS
Originates in the Custom of Marking Gold Ineots to Guarantee
 Weight and Purity.

The invention of coinage is due to the Greeks, most probably to the bank CTS of HaIicarnassos and adjacent Asia Minor Greek colonies, who toward the end of the eighth century B. c. began stamping the small gold and electron ingots which passed through their hands as currency with a mark of some sort intended to guarantee the weight and purity of the metal; such ingots very soon assumed round and more regular shape, which We find al ready in old silver coins from Egina, nearly contemporary with Asia Minor beans" declares a writer in the Sat urday Review.
 Curious to say, none of the surround ing peoples with whom the Asiatic and European Greeks were in constant communication, political or commer- cial, took up the wonderful invention which at present seems to us of such obvious necessity that we scarcely realize how the civilized world of old could have got on without it. As a matter of fact. however, neither the Phoenicians, with their practical com mercial sense, nor the Lydians or the ,Persians who claimed the supremacy over the cities where the new cur rency was Initiated. nor of course the Egyptians ever had coinage. till the conquests of Alexander disseminated the Creek civilization all through the eastern world. The Romans came to know it through the Greek cities in Sicily and Magma Grecia, and began striking silver coins toward the begin ming of the third century, B. c.
 In the meantime, with the Greeks die sinking, like everything else, had fallen within the domain of art, and their coins remain forever a standard of beauty for the artist and model of perfection for the die sinker.

Short Weial,t on Elour.

Retner a startling condition of af. fairs has been uncovered in me Dis trict of Columbia by the annual re. port of Col. W. C. Haskell, sealer of weights and measures. In that re. port is shown loss of quite s42, ,O00 annually that is sustained by con- sumers of flour in the district by req son of short weight. He says that by a carefully prepared set of figures he has discovered the consumers are paying approximately $500 a day for flour that they do not receive. He says that four is not the only com modity that the public pays for that is short weight. He declares that cereals and breakfast foods O. all kinds, as well as candy and other goods. are short of weight, and that while consumers pay good prices, they do not get the quantity that they pay for.

Before the Days of Spoons.

Felix Platter, a young Swiss, went to Montpelier. France. in 1852 in or der to study medicine. He lodged in the house of his professor, Catelan, one of the greatest doctors of his time, and yet, writes Platter, in his diary, We were compelled to eat our stew in the usual French fashion. that is to say, picking the meat out with our fingers. and then drinking the broth. In vain we begged our hostess to let us have spoons, for not a single one was to be founs in the house, the only implement on the table being a large knife fastened with an iron chain. No one here seems to have ever heard of spoons, which we at home find so useful" Montague was astonished when he visited Swift zerland in 1880, to find that "at ali meals they put on the table as many spoons as there are people present"

Much Artificial Indigo Used.

Artificial indigo. manufactured id Germany, has rgined the indigo indus try of India. Tn recent times $25, ,000,. 900 yorth of indigo was exported ev- cry year from India and the surround ing islands and countries But by 1903 the German export of artificial indigo had risen to s6,250,0OO, and the Ger man product is now imported into in- dia Consumers of indigo, who were continually in trouble over the vari- able purity and quantity of the prod uct from the indigo plant, find the arti- fcial product pure and cheaper than the natural The artificial production of indigo was accomplished only after 8 years of experimenting and after more than $4,OO0,000 had been spent. The process depends upon a peculiar action of mercury called catalysis. Mercury's peculiar power in these ex- periments was discovered by mere chance-some mercury happened to find it's way into an experimental flask as the result of a broken the1 uometer. This little accident made co umercial indigo a reality and reversed the eco homie relations of states.

RETIREMENT. SUPERSrlTIONs
Officers ef the Army and Navy Lsery About Reaching the Age
 Limit.

It seems right odd, but there i5 not c bit of doubt fin Washington that of fcers of bOth the army and navy are getting little leery of the retirement business. It is pretty hard for any officer who feels that he has really iCst reached the point where he can do his best work, and that he might go on for ten years doing It. to meet UT with the retirement law, which says that he must step down and out
 But the worst of it is that the figures will show that 1t is rare thing for an officer in either branch of the service 10 live more than half a dozen years after retirement. In the navy officers are retired at 62 years of age and in the army at GA. Since January 1, five rear-adrlirals on the retired list, seven brigadier generals and one lieu. tenant general have died. Of the ad- T2ira-s. four had noI reached 70 and the other was S4. Of the army, four were less than 70 and one was S5. That 9 man does not wear out at the age at which the army and navy de- pGrtments retire their men is evinced by the supreme court. Of the nine justices, seven are past G. the retir- irg age of the army, and four of them have passed 70, yet all are active men, tally and physically. It is thought that one reason for the sudden deaths in the army and navy is that after a service of 40 years or more employ trent in other lines after retirement is so circumscribed that few of those who retire ever enter any other busi- ness. Being in the full vigor of their mentality and in sound physical con dit!on to find themselves without any adequate occupation to employ their minds lets them down too suddenly, and, having nothing to do, they come to believe that they really are grow ing old, and the first thing you know they are gone. It is said that the matter is to be brought to the atten-
 ton of congress at the next session, with an idea to make use of the tech nical education of the retired officers.

are talkings constantly of the tricks and delays of the law. They con trast the long drawn out rials here with the expedition that is shown in England. Mob leaders can and do play onathe sentiment that is thus created. It is capital for all who pro pose to take the law into their own hands.
 We sincerely hope that the leaders at Cairo may be punished. The duty of the state its courts and its peo- pie is clear. and the good name of the state is intimately concerned. But even while that duty Is being per formed let us see if we cannot do something to banish that distrust of the law that makes the public senti- ment that is so helpful to lynchers by legal reforms that will assure us swift administration of justice. This is by far the most promising and prae- tical way of getting rid of lynch law and lynching in all parts, of the Unit cd States.-Chicago Record-Herald.

HIS PERFECT TRUST
HARRiMAN's FAITH IN WIFE A
 BEAUTIFUL TRAIT.
Moral Drawn from Fact That Raft road King Left Vast Estate Ab- soIutely to His Loved
 Life Partner.

Edward E. Hartman was never given to free and frequent condolences. He was naturally reticent concerning his personal affairs. He was often called secretive and distrustful. In business he took all of the usual pre- cautions to prevent the misuse of pow CT or the abuse of opportunities by other men. But it seems that in so vital matter as drawing his win he placed all of his interests in the hands of one person. He named only one heir and gave that single bene- ficiary his entire estate and his abso- lute confidence. He left everything 10 his wife.
 This extraordinary disposal of a very large estate attests the complete trust which the powerful. wary and masterful railroad magnate had in the woman who had been his true help meet and the partner of all his good fortune and bad, from early manhood. In her he reDosed entire faitN. Of her sound judgment and her fidelity to his wishes regarding proper pro F4oADh AOA AAH NliAtuE Eus lOi tAdIlD4ts he had no doubt whatever
 Such is the common experience of the greatest money kings in America who accumulate their vast fortunes themselves. With few exceptions they have been models of domestic faith fitness and loyalty, end they have de- pended greatly upon the women who have shared their fortunes and often their labors, through the rlost diff cult and critical years of their careers. It is evident that in so far as it is possible to argue from ma1y striking examples to d general rule one of inc best means of winning great busiress success is to marry a good, sensible woman and to be en. tirely true and loyal to her and make the closest and most trusted business adviser and associate of tne life part ner who must share in all of the hus- bands fGilures Gnd disappointments and ought never to lose her full en- joyment of any good fortuJ:o which may come to him.

Caesar the Great nessrovsr.

Caesar was not a great statesman, but he was great destroyer In him were personified all the revolutionary forces, the magnificent but devastat- ing forces of a mercantile age in con flict with the traditions of an old world society-its religious skepticism, its indifference to morality, its insen- sibility to family affection, it's oppoT- tunist and undisciplined politics, it's contempt for precedent and tradition, its eastern luxury, it's grasping militar- ism, its passion for the baser forms of commerce and speculation, it's first tentative efforts towards intellectual refinement, its naive enthusiasm for art and science. There is hardly a stranger irony in history than that the rulers of Germany and Russia should have assumed the title of this prince of revolutionaries. For we fail to grasp the true significance of Cae- saT's career till we discern that, like Pompey and Crassias, and the other great figures of his day. his mission was primarily destructive-to com plete the Reorganization and Gissolu. tion Of the old world, both in Italy and the provinces, and thus make way for a stableT and iuster system. But when he imagined that he could apply his unrivaled powers of mind and will to all the intellectual and social iniu ences of the time, and direct them to his own purposes, he displeased all parties and was removed from the scene.-From Ferro's Greatness and Decline of Rome"

HE WANTED TO SEE SEYMOUR
Refused Interview, Disappointed Loy- al Subject of His Majesty Had
 His Revenge.

Lots of funny things happened dur ing the visit of the warships. says the New York correspondent of the Gin cinnati Times-Star. One daily joke was the effort of every French waiter in town to visit the French ships. No matter how battered and rusty they might be in appearance, everyone was there with cardcase. and it was grand sight to watch the air with which each presented his pasteboard to the boatswain's mate in comUand of the cutter that went between the ships and the landing stage This un- fortunate tar had to decide whether or not Alphonse would be a welcome guest on board the ship, and if bis de- cision was adverse enough French lan- guage was wasted around that stage to keep young ladies' seminary run ming all winter-except that it wasn't that sort of language. Much the same sort of thing happened with the other ships. One rusty old chap, with the weirdest shade of red beard ever seen of the vaudeville stage, climbed half way up the starboard gangway of the Inflexible ~Intil he met the middy on duty. By, young feller." said he ''Tyke my card to h. old Seymour, wot? Tell i'm loyal subjick. of is majesty. Gawd bless i'm, is wytin' down ere to see i'm"
 The middy said that Admiral Sey- mour was not receiving that dag
 But, bliLle you down't understand" ," said the loyal subject. Him ole Jack 'Iggins, wot as run a whaIer outen St Johns for forty year. Wen you tell the h'admiral about me 'ell be glad to see me. Take 1t from me e will, young feller."
 The middy said that Admiral Sey- mour was not receiving that day. Old Jack Higgins turned beautiful green.
 Hall me loife hive ben a loyal sub jick." said he. Now, Hi 'opes that you get into war with them Dutchies and they blow your bloomin' h'eyes ! h'out. Hand Him goin' over to tell {! 'em so"
 It happened to be the receiving day | on the German warships. Just how MT. Higgins made known his change of heart cannot be related, but two hours later he was wildly drunk on | the landing stage. "'Rah," said he, flor king and kaiser hand old Jack I7'gins. We're bruzzers all"

an Bracelets.

An ingenious jeweler has decided to have no more lost fans in the the aters or bathrooms. He has fashioned a bracelet which holds the tiny hand fan securely, yet gives easy manipula- tion and grace movement to the wrist He first contrived a carved tortoise shell, 10 which was attached a dull gold chain. The shell handle of the fan carried out the carved idea. This was so successful and so sensible that other more individual ideas have been evolved. White ivory, carved so deli cately that it is hard to realize that 1t iS not a band of creamy lace around the wrist, is used for the bracelet of white fan which hangs from silken cord. Then there is a lovely jet idea from which is sus- pended a black spangIed fan. Gold and silver ornamented with jewels are legion Indeed, the bracelet is a won wonderful decorative ring. which com pines beauty with utility in this ncv thought for evening wear.

WHY NOT REFORM
 AMERICAN JUSTICE?

The virulence with which in the Steinheil case the president of the court pursued the prisoner has caused much unfavorabI~ comment in this country and in England of the French procedure in c-ITninal trials. To those untrained in the French practice the spectacle of the judge coadueing the prosecution from the bench and using all his power in the presence Of the jury to break down the accused has seemed a hideous travesty upon 5s,s.ice, says the New York World.
 M. Barthou, the minister of justice, has been so impressed by foreign crit icism that he proposes to make a rad teal change in the role of the French judge by stripping him Of the author ity to examine witnesses and making him judicial officer in the English sense of the word instead of presi- dent Of the court and chief prosecu- tor in one. It is a singular triumph for foreign opinion that so notable reform should be brought about in France this way.
 American pride may flatter itself that we are superior to such influ- ences in this enlightened hemisphere. Foreigners sometimes have the imper- tinencs to comment on the laws de- lays in the United States. They have expressed amazement that legal meth ods such as marked the various Thaw trials and insanity proceedings should be tolerated by a people that delights in calling itself practical. The i'm munity enjoyed by rich and powerful thieves and scoundrels seems puzzl- ing to them Why has no one been prosecuted, they ask with an air of Bewilderment, for the Reinsurance frauds. for the Metropolitan Street Railway frauds. for the Sugar Trust weighing frauds? What are the courts doing when more crimes of violence. venaIity and corruption go unpunish- ed in one year in New York City than in all of Great Britain?
 Such questions leave us undisturb- ed. Fortunately We know our own business better than any foreigner can know it, and are not So sensitive to the remarks of outsiders as the French Imagine what a reception would await any officer of the gov erument who arose before the great that the reflections of Europeans up on our legal procedure and methods Of justice were well founded and that immediate reforms were necessary if we desired to retain the respect of the world and our own selfaDpToyal,

CAIRO LYNcHINGS
 DIsCRAcEFUL AFFAIR.

The city of Cairo and the state of Illinois are disgraced by the lynch ings of Thursday night. Moreover, the shame to the state is all the greater because recent events in it's history have encouraged race riots and the criminal acts of the mobs. H. linois citizens have condoned such oItrages and worked up an un|rit- ten law which they hold superior to the law of the land. The usual story is varied, however, by the lynching of white man. He. Q wife murderer, was treated like the negro who had 'brutally assaulted Q white woman. Evidently something more than race problem is involved, and there is a hint at a universal cause where lynch. fngs occur in the statement that jus tce had been so slow in dealing with the white man that intense public in dignatibu had been aroused over the delay.
 Of course an analysis of mob pas sion is not likely to indicate that the mob mind is given to reasoning, and it is easy to realize how impulse sways men and women immediately after such a brutal and reyoltina crime as that committed by the negro James. It drives them to frenzy, and il.c frenzy, the absence Of the usua restraints to which civilized peoplt ere accustomed explains their ow- subsequent excesses.
 Nevertheless, there had been req soning in the case of the white man and in one way and another it is fel throughout the country. American
