ENGLAND's GUINEA HABIT.
They Have No Such Coin There, Yet
Still They Use II.

Strangers in foreign countries al
ways find some difficulty In getting
used TO the current coinage. In Eng
land they find themselves up against
quite a number OF problems, not the
least OF which is the guinea, and the
difficulty is not lessened by the fact
that the guinea is practically obsolete
as a coin OF the realm. The English
physicians fee IS always calculated as
so many guineas, and the same thing
holds good at a sale OF pictures CT
whatnOt at Christie's saiesrooms.
The guinea is gold coin current for
81 shillings sterling. or about So, but it
has not been coined since the issue of
the sovereign in 1917.
The guinea habit has been defended
by some subtle dealers on the ground
that IL obfuscntes the foreign visitors
to British salesrooms" On the other
hand. those astute cambists have
been known TO growl at few thOus
and sterling added 10 the price of a
valuable picture by the adhesion to the
guinea style OF bidding. The story runs
that the Guinea was so called from the
pieces struck from the bullion captured
by Sir Harry Holmes in 1866 from 100
Dutch sail in Schelling bay, the bullion
being from Guinea. But Shakespeare
has an earlier play on the word when
be mentions guinea hen" in "Othello"
as regards the auction usage OF the
guinea. There can be little doubt that
it is survival Of the times when the
extra shilling was treated as a five per
cent commission. payable by the buyer.

They Cannot Form In the Line Of q
Fresh Water Flow.
Coral reefs surround many of the is
lands IN the Pacific. They protect the
lowlands from the washing OF the
waves. and the still waters incloSed by
them are the only harbOrs of refuge
for ships. The reefs themselves fur
nish the greatest peril to navigation.
and II there were no inlet through
tected circle they would be 4 danger
and nothing else
But almost every reef has such an in
iet. IL is a necessary result OF the laws
under which the forces of nature work
To understand this we must see how
these reefs are formed.
Chemically the reef corals are almost
pure carbonate of lime. the substance
Of ordinary limestone and marble. The
reef grows as the shell Of the oyster
or OF any other shellfsh grows. 1t is
itself the common and undivided shell
OF inCumerable polypi. or minute in
sects. which are being reproduced aud
are dying in successive generations.
These tiny beings get all their living
from the waters OF the sea. II is from
this source also that they derive the
salts OF lime from which they secrete
the bony structure that TeD4ins after
the animal is dead.
The coral polypi cannot live in fresh
water. Their food supply is brought
20 them by the waves and currents OF
the sea. As a result. II is found that
directly opposite the mouth Of a stream
from the island the reef does not grow.

What, Then, is the
Liquor Disease?

1t is an altered condition of the
nerve cells, caused by the excessive
use of alcohol, wherein the nerves
have become trained to feed on it, and
will not do their work except under
its influence.
The craving" or appetite for liquor
is not the disease. 1t is merely the
symptom of the disease just as a cough
is a symptom of some irritation or
inflammation.
When the disease is removed the
craving for drink disappears just as the
cough disappears when the cause of
the trouble is removed.
