Writing from Paris. Victor Aubur-
tin says OF the New French coins that
for hygienic reasons and to reduce the
weight the old coppers will soon be
replaced in the circulating currency
by little nickel pieces. some of which
will have holes. No one will deny,
he says. that the copper pieces are un-
clean and that they may be the means
Of spreading disease. but still the
French people will part with them re-
luctantiy. The pieces coined in the
early SOS bear Napoleon's head. In
1859, after Solferino. a laurel wreath
was put on the head. The coins OF the
republic had handsome women's heads.
And these historical monuments will
now disappear-monumen which one
may carry in his pocket; and they
have this advantage OF those OF mar
bic and bronze: they can be exchanged
for oranges.

Something Bound to Happen

A young man who had been born
and reared In the back woods went to
Chicago and made a lot of money
Then he returned TO his native vii
lage and asked his father TO take
trip to the Windy City The old man.
however. was not enthusiastic over
the proposition. He had read OF fires,
motor car accidents and other catas-
trophies in big cities. Finally. after
much argument and persuasion on the
part OF his son the father reluctantly
consented TO undertake the journey
AT little country station he was
panic stricken and tried to get per
mission to go back home. Once on
the train his nerve began TO revive
and all went well until the train dash
ed into a tunnel as black as night.
When this happened the old man
grabbed his umbrella. hit his son a
whack on the head and cried out:

The BLESSING Of the Word

II is the highest wisdom to avail
ourselves OF every help to right Ilv.
ing There is no other help compar.
able TO the Bible: there are number
less books and tracts on ethics. on the
conduct OF life. on holy living and holy
dying. But the Bible is the light from
which all these are lighted. ana they
shine only in proportion as they re-
feet its teaching and spirit. Why
should people prefer the tricklinx
branches to the full tide OF the cen.
trail stream; or the twinkle OF the
small incandescent bulbs to the blaze
of the sun? However II may be ac.
counted for. the old book brings to the
sincere and inquiring heart a message
Of life and light. helping every man
to know himself In his weakness and
strength. and showing every man the
remedy for his weakness and the

S0LACE IN HIS MISFORTUNE
Entomted Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days Of Suffering.

Miners are among the most heroic
people in the world. Danger is always
beside them. and they are schooled to
believe that any time they will come
face to face with death. The result OF
this is that they are humorous in
their boldness.
In one Of the mines of Pennsylvania
there was a cave-in which imprisoned
a miner named Jack Thornton. The
accident happened on Friday after
noon. and the fellow laborers OF the
entombed man set to work at once to
dig him out II was not until Sunday
morning. however. that they reached
his prison chamber. and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been suiocated or starved to death.
One Of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks OF
the rescuers and called out:
Jack. are you all right?"
"Ali right" came the reply. and
then after a pause: What day Is
this,-
Sunday exclaimed the friend.
Gee" exclaimed Jack. I'm glad OF
that. That was one Saturday night
when those saloonkeepers didn't get
