THE FLOYDS.

The Floyds came as the second

Lecture Course, Thursday night,
and they we're a whole entertain
ment in themselves, although the
musician, Mr.. Allard, added to the
enjoyment OF the performance.
Not once was the interest of the
audience allowed to flag, the un-
interrupted flow of talk was bright
and catchy, and the dexterity of
wholly undetected were the
duced the wonders. 1t was quicker
than the flash of an eye in every
case. He had the children enchant-
ed at once and the older children
sat in big-eyed wonder while
strange things were passing be-
fore them. Mrs. Floyd showed her
self a true telepathist and the feat
of telling instantly any object
passed Mr.. Floyd, as he went rap
idly up one aisle and down the
other, was followed with the clos
est attention. The objects were
unusual often, but the time of the
watch or the date on a coin was
not too exact for her to be. Her
figure work was equally wonder
full and interesting. Perhaps, the
feat which puzzled the most, was
the handcuff act, where Mr.. Floyd
handcuffed, tied in a bag and put
in a packing trunk changed places
with Mrs. Floyd in about four sec
onds' time. The show was clean,
interesting and expert exhibition
OF the magicians' art, which the
Floyds were careful to emphasize
was not supernatural power, but
pure slight OF hand and optical il
lusion. It was the best thing of
its kind which has come to Brad

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.

Germany and Bulgaria are con-
tending for the honor of sheltering
the Oldest woman on earth. Up to a
recent date a certain Mrs. Dutkie-
witt, a resident of Posen, a city in
Polish Germany, held the old age
record. According to documents in
her possession she was born Feb
ruary 21, 1885, and is now over 1875
years old. But now a resident of a
small Bulgarian village named Bahia
Vasilka claims to be ten months Mrs.
Dutkiewitz's senior. The record of
her birth in the Greek church in her
home town gives the date as May,
1874. She is now living on the
farm where she was born and where
she worked in the fields for over 100
years. Her only companion is her
son, aged ninety-nine, who still tills
the soil and does the chores. He left
the farm but twice in his life to
serve short terms in the army.

CHINA TEA.

Some interesting statistics have
been gathered with reference to the
great decline in China's tea trade.
From 1878, when tea was first in
troduced into England, until 1887
China held exclusively the tea trade
of the world. Then India began to
enter the tea market. The Chinese
tea trade reached high tide in 1886
with a total export of 300,000,000
pounds. In 1884 China furnished
about 70 per cent. of the worlds to-
tai, India and Ceylon Is per cent,
and Japan and Formosa 10 per cent.
But at last accounts, when the total
consumption had increased to 644,-
100000 pounds, China contributed
only 80 per cent, India and Ceylon
60 per cent, Japan and Formosa 10
per cent
The decline in China tea is as
cribed to careless methods of culti-
walton and preparation of the leaf

PEoNS TREATED AS SLAVES
Barbarities Committed in the Rubber

barbarities committed by rubber adj
venturers to get cheap labor. They
sntice poems to come from the inte-
rior of Bolivia under the promise Of
high wages. AS soon as the unsus-
pecting natives arrive, they are ar
rested upon complaint of an agent
Of these men, who charges that the
poems owe him several hundred dol
lars. They are taken before the
judge, who is also an accomplice
and who Immediately finds the poems
guilty and sentences them to work
out the debt on the boats that carry
gold and rubber down the rapids.
The conspirators own the boats, of
course. They force the victims to
work until they drop from exhaus-
ton or die of fever.
If they will not work the poor
creatures are taken to the Jail and
stretched out on the ground while a
burly ruffian gives them from 200
to 500 lashes with a deadly leather
whip. l actually saw one boats

who insisted on introducing him as

to table with them. The riddle read
itself few moments later, when the
ELUSIVE person handed across the
table to the greatest writer of the
age card, on which he had written,
'Dear old man, can you let me have
ten dollars?" Not to be outdOne in
friendliness of diction, Lewis wrote
on the other side of the card, ~Dear

TRAGEDY THAT WAS AvERrED
How Wife Of Austrian Forester Kept
Him From Killing King VIII
liam and Bismarck.

The story Of an averted tragedy,
which, if it had not been averted,
might have changed the whole course
of modern history in Euhope, was
recently revived by the death Of re-
tired Austrian forester named Kern.
The time was about three weeks
afr Sadowa; the place was the little
village of Birsdorf, about thirty
miles from Vienna. King William
Of Prussia and Bismarck were there,
and they sat down on the terrace,
outside a small cafe, to drink beer.
Kern saw them. He regarded them
as the deadly enemies of his coun-
try; he was an excellent marksman,
and he had a double-barreled gun
with Him. Taking aim from behind
cover, he was about to fire when his
wife, seeing what he was after, and
fearing the consequences, clutched
him by the coattails. He turned to
argue with her, and before the ar
gument was finished the king and
the chancellor had disappeared. So
nothing happened; but if Kern had
been allowed to fire there might have
been no German empire today.

THE EVOLUTION OF COINAGE
First Metals Stamped With Weight
Probably Were Used In Ancient
Assyrla and Babylon.

1t is probable that when metals
were first used as a medium of cur
rency they were simply weighed. The
next step was to issue pieces of gold
and silver that had already been
weighed. Then, in time, it was found
more practicable to mark the exact
weight and value on each piece. This
was first done, it is thought, in AS
syria and Babylonia, where shekels
or pounds of gold and silver have
been found in great quantities.
In the sense we understand the
first real coinage of money must be
ascribed to the Greeks of Iona in the
seventh century before Christ. They
stamped upon their coins the arms
and the seal of their cities, thus al
fording an official guaranty of the
weight and value of the money.
From Iona the custom rapidly spread
to other parts of Greece and thence
into Italy.
The yellow shekels of Babylonia
are undoubtedly the Oldest of gold
coins. These show only the arms Of
the country.

"TIME TO READ"

On the prairie one had time to
read. 1 heard Arthur's mother say
that there was so little time for oh l.
dren to read when they we're going
to school, and 1 wondered. l didn't
see how there could be such a thing
as not having time to read. You
don't think about taking time to
read-you just read. The only oc-
casion when we thought of time was
when we were hurrying through one
book to get to another waiting, and
holding out fascinating promise that
fastened our progress toward it. And
then it was so quiet on the prairie.
The general whooping of life was SO
far away that it did not call us from
books with the insistence of its noise.
Its activity became history or TO-
nance before it reached us.-Mar-
garet Lynn, in the Atlantic.
