oUEEREsT COIN ON EARTH
Horseshoe Shaped and Used by Ma
tives Of West Afriea-valued
by Collectors.


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
kAfrica, and called "manillas. In
shape they resemble a horseshoe with
the two extremities fattened put ike
a camel's foot. Being made of solid
copper, three-eighths of an inch chick,
they weigh over eight ounces ach.
In face value" seven of these .ueer
coins are equivalent to 20 cents, SO
that one dollars worth would be an
uncomfortably 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 this strangely shaped money had
quite a large circulation in certain
parts of the coast, but It's use is now
restricted to a few bush towns and
one or two OF the smaller seaboard
places, including Bonny, Brass and
Akassa. "Manillas" are very difficult
to obtain, and curio collectors value
them not solely by reason of their
scarcity, but because Of the novel
serviette rings they make when silver
plated.-Wide World Magazine.

How to Lessen rardlneea.

In the Women. Home Companion a
number of contributors present q va
riety of good ideas for public schools.
A teacher in Los Angeles. CAL, tells
as follows how hardness Is lessened
in the schools of that city:
4 "a winning method OF dealing with
hardness is used in the grammar
schools of Los Angeles, Cal. Iron
sockets which securely hold a Flagstaff
have been placed beside each school
room door, and every morning after
the tardy bell has rung every room
free from hardness places its flag
outside the door. so that all who run
may read Bereft indeed do the small
persons feel who can fly no flag.

The lifting of the quarantine
against Canada because Of the foot
and mouth disease is regarded by Off.
cials of the Department of Agriculture
as encouraging evidence that they are
.On the outside of the disease
This MEANS says a statement is
sued, there are grounds for the be-
lief that guarantees already declared
have been sufficient to stop the move
ment of infected cattle, and that the
disease can now be held within the
limits of the areas already quaran.
tined"
Another cause for encouragement is
the fact that although a shipment of
infected cattle reached Spokane,
Wash, some days ago, no new cases
have since been reported from that
state. This is taken to mean that
the diseased cattle were killed and
buried before they had had an oppor-
tunity to spread the disease; in con.
sequence, it has not been considered
necessary to quarantine Washington.
At the present time the states most
seriously affected are Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana and Pennsylvania
Outside of this belt the states OF
Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts are perhaps the subject OF
the greatest concern. Although the
sexual number of cattle already IN
facted Is conpsratively small, it will

In the square of a newly built
North Dakota City," says Grace Lem

stands a giant sign-board. The little
houses that have sprung up in a week,
with clean swept doorwards, shining
new railroad tracks, just laid, all as
sail the observer with the newness
of the city without a name. And the
sign-board is the newest Of all.
Bright yellow and black, it grins
happily upon the public square, the
legend it bears no less noticeable be-
cause the letters are tall, rangy, hand
made affairs. They say what many
are saying and thinking these days,
elsewhere than in the new little town,
which, by the way, may be designated
S%andibank upon the postal maps. The
sign was placed in position by the
surveyors soon after the first houses
sprang up on the prairie, to comment
crate the convictions Of those large
spirited notwithstanding, who will
doubtless be heard from some day.
The little city is Oh a sandbank in

is a si~x-year-old; the railroad is sim
