ODD COINAGE ON NIGERIA
Legal Tender That Is Unhandy to
Carry About In Any Consider
able Quantity.

Among the strangest coins In the
world are those used in certain out-of.
the-way towns and villages In south.
west Nigeria. on the west coast OF
Africa. and called "manillas." In shape
they resemble a horseshoe with the
two extremities fattened out like a
camers foot. Being made of solid
copper. three-eighths of an inch thick,
they weigh over eight ounces each.
In face value" seven of these queer
coins are equivalent to one quarter,
so that dollars worth would be an
uncomfortable. heavy load.
Not only are these 'manillas" used
among the natives. but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores. At one
time the strangely shaped money had
quite circulation In certain parts OF
the coast. but Its use is now restricted
to few bush towns and one or two
of the smaller seaboard places. includ.
ing Bonny. Brass and Akassa. MA.
nillas" are now very difficult to OBJ.
tain. and curio collectors value them
not solely by reason of their scarcity.
but because of the novel serviette
rings they make when silver plated.

Before Congress Of Vienna.

One hundred years ago Alexander l
OF Russia, the king of Prussia and
other sovereigns. accompanied by a
large retinue OF diplomatists and sol
diers. made their solemn entry into
Vienna to take part in the congress
which was to. readjust the map OF
Europe. The thrones which Napoleon
had overturned were to be righted and
the old despots whom he had dis
missed were to be given back their
scepters. The first weeks of the con.
gress, however. were not devoted to
the serious business at hand. but were
spent in a succession of magnificent
festivities. Notwithstanding the finan.
cial ruin Of the country, Austria ap.
propriated sums amounting to thou.
sands of dollars daily to provide balls,
banquets. concerts and other enter.
tainments for the visiting monarchs
and their advisers.
