wiIl Danish Old Mexican Coins.

The circulation Of large 1-cent cop
per coins, generally known as "cen-
tavos grandes," and also the scent
silver coins called "quintos." will
cease at the end Of the year. and be
replaced on the first Of January with
new, small 1-cent pieces and the 9TH
ers by 5-cent nickel coins.
Owing to the announcement that
this money will soon be out Of exist
ence, frequent incidents occur be-
tween the public and the merchants,
especially In small stores, where they
refuse to take those coins and the
people are compelled to go to many
places before they take them.
To prevent such trouble, the banks
and the mint will exchange those
coins for new 1-cent and scent pieces,
and in order to prevent the lack of
change in the commercial transac-
tons and in the market, the mint will
strike a sufficient quantity to furnish
the public all that is needed in Janu-
ary of next year.-Mexico Herald.

Responsibility Of Almanac Makers.
Compilers of almanacs in France
are legally responsible for the accur-
acy of their publications. This point
was determined in case tried in the
days OF Louis Philippe. Ouvrard, q
well-known army contractor, fell into
difficulties and was severely pressed
by his creditors. According to French
law debtors cannot be arrested be-
tween sunset and sunrise.
One evening Onward sailed forth
IN quest of fresh air and was seized
by bailiff as be stepped out Of his
house. He protested, and produced
an almanac showing that it was threS
minutes past sunset The bailiff pro-
duced another almanac. showing that
the sun did not set for another nine
minutes.
On his release from prison Ouvrard
sued the publisher of the almanac
which had misled, and obtained dam

unfortunately, Inevitably brings with
it feeling of independence, and inde-
pendence is not only dangerous under
those conditions, but entirely con-
trary to tho Japanese ideal. More
over, early marriages interfere with
education, to the great disgust OF
those girls who love 1t and want to
graduate; and education also raises
ideals in girls mind that the man
selected for her husband cannot come
up to. 1t is easy to see that the in
evitable result will be read1ustment

PREACHED HIS BEST
CANDIDATE THOUGHT HE MADE
AN IMPRESSION.
But He Should Have Heard the
Comments Of the Flock He
Was So Anxious to
Shepherd.

The candidate has done his best.
He believed that 1t had made deep
impression on the church, before
which he was "candidating." He
might have changed his mind had he
heard the following comments on his
effort by the people as they passed
out of church or fingered for the aft
ernoon tea sort of chatter that OBJ
tains in some of our modern
churches:
We'll. how did you like him?"
Fairly we'll. but he amt no way UP
to what dear Pastor Elder was"
did you notice that he said eye
ther?' l always hate to hear a min
lister say that"
His deliv'ry want none too good.
1 could not make out some of his
words"
II didn't Just like him having that
pink rose in his buttonhole. Looked a
little vain to me. like to see min
lister dress rather soberly."
Didn't his coat fit awfully? Did
you notice that the sleeves were too
long? And his trousers were too
short. think that minister's dress
has lot to do with the impression
he makes"
'I can't bear to see a man with his
hair parted in the middle, and II he
should be called to US I wouldn't make
no bones of telling him 3d."
Wasn't some Of that poetry he
quoted beautiful? do love to hear
a minister express himself in poetry"
Seemed to me he wasn't very deep.
When you come to think 1t over, he
didn't say much I hadn't heard be-
fore"
Seemed to me he was rather sing
song in his delivery. Didn't Pastor
Fourtherly have beautiful delivery?
He never said much Of anything. but
his delivery was SO beautiful that he
held you with It,"
the pulpit with his fist. l like to see
minister calm and dignified in the pull
pit. Always makes more Of lasting
impression"
"Did you notice the way he began
SO many his sentences with And?
And was Just reading the other day
that one should never begin sent
ence with and"
81 didn't like the way he rolled up
his eyes. It seemed 30 sort Of sane
timonious."
'It didn't seem to me there was
much real spirituality in his sermon,
and don't like a sermon unless 1t is
downright spiritual"
II don't believe that he is the man
for u.s."
Seems to me that he's better suit
ed to some church where they don't
really expect much Of the minister"
'If they called him think that !
