The Silver Penny.

According to high authority, the sill
yer penny of King Alfred is the earli-
est authentic Saxon coin that can be
traced with certainty to the London
mint. Athelstan, about 92S, was the
first British king to enact regulations
for the government of the mint, but
the coinage was debased by the mint
ers during the several reigns follow
ing. To such an extent was this fraud
carried on that In the reign of Henry

accept current money, and when the
king summoned the minters to appear
at Winchester only three men out OF
ninety-four escaped mutilation and

instituted a mint at Winchester in
1925, but the English do not seem to
have been proficient in the art of coin

of Edward l. the mint was kept by
Italians. In Henry Ills time English
money greatly improved In appear

first gold coinage in that country. In
the following reigns money was again

Ways of the Somali,

A correspondent gives n good de-
scription of the Somali, who as
fighting man Is not first class, though
he Is fond of drill and proud of his
uniform. But he is by nature decided
ly effeminate. His toilet is constant
source of anxiety to himself, and the
pains he will take to curl his crisp
black hair by the application Of vari-
Gus substances to his head are incredi-
Bile. He is fond of fnery, Of luxurious
and indolent habits and keeps up an
incessant fire of chatter. He Is grasp
ing and In the matter of food Is
greedy. Timld in the presence Of tho
European, he is easily excited and
quickly loses his head. Dancing is one
OF his chief pastimes, accompanied by
the loud clapping of hands and con
tinuous and monotonous wall, which
no doubt does duty for song. Somali
women never dance and scarcely even
smile. They are completely cowed by
the men, who treat them in most cases
unkindly If not actually cruelty. The
iSomali Is most punctiliOus hi the per
tormance of his religious rites, but he
