LOYAL SCOTCH TERRIER.

The loyalcst of dogs was probably
the little Scotch terrier to which
Edinburgh some years ago erected a
statue. For over eight years Grey
friars Bobby, as he came to be called,
slept nightly on his masters grave
in Greyfriars. He spent Oh hour or
two a day in the curator's house, but
night always found him again on the
grave, however cold or stormy the
weather. Locked doors failed to
keep him in. There was always the
window. And it was not till eight
years had passed that Edinburgh
learned of him, and then it was over
the prosaic question of finding the
man who ought to pay the dog Ii
cense. That tiny statue on the
street corner outside the graveyard is
worth looking at even to the man
who does not know the story.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

COINAGE IN FORMER TIMES
Gold Money Was First Minted by tho
Lydians and Silver on the
Island Of Egins.

Earliest history refers familiarly
to the use of gold and silver as a
purchasing medium, but the metals
were exchanged in the form of bars
or dust for many centuries. Even
today the Chinese prefer their gold
and silver in bullion form. In the
great African desert a sale is for so
many ounces Of gold dust IT,
credit Of making the first gold coins
is given to the Lydians by Herodo-
tus, and the first silver coins are sup
posed to have been minted on the
Island Of Egina $50 b. G. There
are TO be found in the various large
museums of the world coins of Per-
STA issued $50 b. C. The earliest
coins known in Palestine were called
Daric, or kings money (from Dari-
us), and were coined 450 E. G.. In
the year 139 b. G.. Antiochus VII.
granted the privilege Of coming
money among the Jews to Simon
Maccabeus, and the various pieces
are dated Gin the first Cor second)
year of Simon, benefactor Of the
jews, high priest" The earliest
y.,.iyal mention Of wealth is that of
Abraham, when he left Egypt to re-
turn to Canaan, and the 1000 pieces
Of silver that Abimelech gave to
Abraham for Sarah's use. Abraham
bought the cave of Machpclah and
weighed to Ephron 400 shekels of
silver. Achan stole a wedge of gold
weighing so shekels.

NEW HARsoR FOR CHINA.

The proposed construction of a

free from ice troubles in winter, al

HOW SOAP WAS DISCOVERED
savonna Flshwfe Boiling Lye Of SODA
Stumbles on Il by
Accident.

Soap was discovered by accident.
The word is derived from Savonna,
the town in Italy where the epochal
discovery took place. 1t happened
that a fshwife of Savonna once had
occasion to boil some I've of soda in
an iron pot. When she got through
she found that she had a semi-huid
substance that made lather in wa
ter and had the curious property of
removing dirt. Now. the fact that
it removed dirt was esteemed of
small importance in Savonna, except
for the mysteTiousness of the cir
cumstancc. So the Gshwife made in
quiry Of other members of the fam
lily and found that the iron pot had
contained olive oil. OF course, she
had not bothered cleaning the vessel,
and the natural affinity between oil
and I've when boiled together had
done the rest. The great secret of
soapmaking was out at last, and the
human race was ready for another
upward stride comparable to those
taken after the invention OF the art
Of cooking, the discovery of the prin-
ciple Of the wheel and the devising
Of the alphabet.

SUICIDE RECORD OF VIENNA
During Last Year 567 Persons Took
Their Own Lives in the Capital
Of Austria.

Austria's capital continues to
maintain its unenviable notoriety for
the number of suicides. The figures
just published for last year are the
highest ever recorded. Altogether
no fewer than 567 persons took their
own lives in Vienna, 4O5 men and
1872 women. In addition to these
there were 891 attempted suicides,
of which 400 were by men and 392
by women. The total number Of
suicides and attempts averages al
most exactly four a day for the year.
April and November showed the
largest number of suicides, 50 and
SO respectively. September had the
least, 38. The majority of the vic
tins either found or sought death by
hanging; next came shooting, drown
ing, poison and throwing themselves
out Of windows. The oldest victim
was man of ninety, and the young
est boy of twelve. Both threw
themselves out of windows.
Love troubles were the motive for
most Of the suicides, and after these
came family differences, mental dis
orders, sickness, poverty and general
WEAKNESS of life. In one-fourth of
the cases the motive was unknown.

HORSES DEAR IN SPAIN

Horses in Spain--are ridiculously
expensive. Out of curiosity | priced
one pony-a five-year-Old, of very
poor quality, but southland | was
asked 5000 for an animal which in
England or America would be worth
500 at the outside Obviously the
owner raised the price for the ben
efti of a foreign stranger. but even
so it was ridiculous. II is worthy
of note that at the last horse show
in Seville a party of English visitors
ali hunting men-agreed. after in
speeding the exhibits, that they had
not seen a horse which any of them
would care to possess. The truth
of the matter is that the Spaniard,
though as a rule an excellent rider,
is no Judge of horseflesh-at least
according to English standards
The type of horse he admires most
is the English hockney. and it is
the funniest sight in the world 10
