Tho Out of Date poubIoon.

Should the reader find a pirates buried treasure he will have to dis pose of his Spanish gold at its bullion value, for since Aug. 1, 1908, when the common crier made proclamation from the steps of the Royal Exchange of London that after that date the doubloon would cease to be legal ten der in the West Indies, including Brit ish Guiana, the doubloon has not been the precious thing 1t was. In 173O and for about a century after it was worth $S, "more or less" It has ceased to be coined in its native coun- try, Spain, and since 1908 it has been unpopular in the West Indies, where for a long time it figured in a mixed circulation embracing British, United States and Spanish coins. In the in terest of romance, however, the name at least must survive. It signifies nothing more than that the coin was double the value of a pistole, but the doubloon was never such a mouth fill- Ing mockery as pieces of eight" which suggest great riches, but mean only Spanish silver dollars. pieces equtva- lent to reals.

EnqIand's Great Wall.

Directly across the north of Eng land, between points near Carlisle and Newcastle, ran Hadrian's wall, the northern boundary of the Roman em- pire. It is generally supposed to have been erected by the Emperor Hadrian between IF and 139 A. D. The wall was of stone and was eight feet thick and twelve feet high. It was guarded by eighteen military stations, gar risoned by cohorts of Roman soldiers, and at intervals of a mile were forts built to contain eighty men each. Be- tween every two forts were four watch towers. South of the stone wall was a series of earthen ramparts, and be- tween the two ran the great military road, still in use as a highway. Of this vast work comparatively few DOT tions remain, a matter of wonder, per haps, when one sees the solidity of the sections of the wall which still stand, but easily explained by the fine stone walls in the immediate vicinity.

An,aI &n Aunid DiMnrnA.

My advice to husbands who wish to avoid divorce is this: Don't quote mother. Call up your wife while at business and ask how she is and tell her that you called her up just to hear her voice. Take her box of candy, one of the new books that she is in- terested in, a flower, even if 1t is faded and you have picked it up off the street; a pretty pin or handker- chief, and don't ever lay your head on your pillow at night without having done something to gain and obtain a firmer hold on your wife's love. Kiss her every day. At least once month meet her downtown and take her to dinner and the theater. Don't ever stop courting, for as soon as you do some other man will begin. Make your wife your companion. Take her out with you, and when you have to have a big time take your wife along and the divorce evil will be lessened. -Leslie's Weekly.

It is understood that the Perry company had offered $7OOO before the case came to trial t } settle the claim, which was refused, and 1t Is probable that the arrangement for a settlement calls for a considerably larger sum than was offered at that time.
