The First Gold Certificate.

Piracy on the Mediterranean caused
the creation of the first gold certificate.
according to most authentic records.
Rome bought wheat in Egypt. while
Egypt had to pay tribute money for
the maintenance of the Roman army.
To ship gold for these payments was
to tempt the ingenious pirates who in
tested the eastern Mediterranean. 1t
was probably some able money lender
who thought of the scheme of having
the wheat importer take his gold to
the Roman bank, which had branch
in Alexandria, and getting certificates,
which the pirates would not dare go
into Alexandria to attempt to cash.
The Egyptian tax collector got his GER
tificate from the Alexandria bank and
sent il to Rome, where 1t was honored.

Whoever Loves is Never Old.

When life has been we'll spent age is
a loss of what it can we'll spare-mus-
cular strength, organic instincts, gross
bulk and works that belong to these.
But the central wisdom which was old
in infancy was young in fourscore
years and, dropping off distractions,
leaves in happy subjects the mind puri-
fed and wise. l have heard that Who
ever loves is in no condition old. l
have heard that whenever the name
of man is spoken the doctrine Of i'm
mortality is announced. 1t cleaves TO
his construction. The mode of 1t baf-
fies our wit, and no whisper comes to
us from the other side. But the infer
ence from the working of intellect,
having knowledge, having skill-at the
end of life just ready to be born-af-
firms the inspirat ton of affection and
of the moral sentiment.-Ralph Waldo

A Cornfed Editor.

The editor OF the Alton Daily Times
is a 'dyed-iu-the-wooT' democrat, and
in recent issue he proudly boasts
that he is cornfed. He says:
To those who like roasting ears
that rain of last night was a great
boon. The editor likes from half a
dozen 20 a dozen small ears to a meal.
and as they have been selling at so
cents dozen we have been limited to
six ears. and have been filling up the
rest of the way on potatoes. But this
did not effect much of a saving. as DO
tatoes are s1.4O per bushel. We hope
the rain brings the price of roasting
ears down to Is cents per dozen, and
then we will be willing to go on work
ing We are willing to work IL we
can have all the corn we want. We
like it so much better on the cob than
we do in bread"

London, England. July 25.-Every
effort made by his friends to induce
the Marquis of Anglesey to take his
young wife back into his home has
proved unavailing, and the separation,
to which legal effort is to be given be
fore long. is referred to as one of the
saddest matrimonial breakdowns in
English society in recent years.
They were married just two years
ago and have one daughter. Lady
Alexandra, born June Is of last year.
All went happily until the beginning
of this year. Then the Marquis fell
i'll, and after time in a Park Lane
nursing home he went to Ankles
Bains in February for the cure. be-
ing accompanied by the Warehouses.
who is the eldest of the Duke of Rut-
lands three daughters.
At the end of the cure at Aix-les-
Bains the Marquis sent the March
ioness home to London, saying he
needed complete rest, and went him.
self to Naples, accompanied only by
his secretary.
Since then he has never returned
to her and declares that he never
will or can. Every effort has been
made to induce him to see the cruelty
and the folly of abandoning a young
wife for no reason except some whim
but without avail. He passes the
time travelling around with his sec
rotary, sometimes yachting with his
mother, and occasionally visiting
country houses in England and
Wales when the Marchioness is in
London. There has been a strong
vein of eccentricity in the Paget
family. The present Marquis cousin,
whom he succeeded, was an oddity OF
the most pronounced type.
AS Lady Marjorie Manners the
Marchioness was one of the most tai
ented and attractive girls in society,
with a great gift for social life. She
is a skilled and clever musician and
painter, a remarkable linguist and in
every way highly cultured. 1t was
always said that only royal objec'
tions prevented Prince Arthur OF
Connaught from marrying her. He
was willing to renounce his chances
of succession to the throne, but the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught re
sisted to the end. When Lady Mar
jorie married the Marquis of Angle
sey-for whom, strangely enough
Princess Patricia of Connaught was
said to have formed an attachment
it was considered that she had made
the most brilliant match possible.
