JAPANESE MONEY.
Yens, Sens and Rims Complete Their
Simple Currency System.

The japanese currency system Is
very simple and is based upon a gold
basis. The unit of value is yen.
This equals 80 cents in gold. according
to our United States values. One yen
is divided into 100 sen. Each Of the
latter is worth just one half Of an
American cent. The Japanese sen is
the equivalent OF 10 rim. and the small
est Japanese coin consists Of five rim
piece. the equivalent of one-quarter of
an American penny.
The currency media is composed OF
paper notes. silver. nickel and copper.
The laps have their paper money in
one, five, ten yen notes and upward.
The silver money comes In ten, twenty
and fifty sen pieces. The smallest
nickel piece is valued nj sen. Then
come the copper coins. These are val
ued at . sen, l sen and . rim.
This is the substance OF the entire
currency system in Japan when you
step into a money changers 10 procure
the coin Of the realm. But YOU do not
always obtain the equivalent in values
for your American currency. The va
rious seaport towns swarm with Chi
nese money changers. These Mongo-
liam tinancicrs deduct a rebate OF from
| 10 . per cent for every $40 in Ameri-
can money exchanged. When you
travel in the interior localities OF ia
pan, away from the beaten track OF
tourist traffic, YOU will be compelled to
pay even a higher rate of exchange. as
the Jap merchants refuse 10 accept for
eien coin in exchange for their wares
unless they are easily accessible to
some nearby seaport town.
The Jap nickel. or five sen piece, will
buy i've or six times as much for Jap
In his own country as the same value
Of currency would buy for an Ameri-
can home in the United States. The
simplicity of the native currency sys-
tenn goes hand In hand with the frugal
ity and the wise economies OF these
quaint. active little people.-Philadel-
phia North American.

against all worry of domestic matters.
In his laboratory he was accustomed,
being naturalist. to have various
strange animals after the fashion of

favorite His wife possessed neck
lace Of diamonds. of which she was
naturally proud. one day this neck
lace was missing Madame was In de
spair and had the house searched, with
the exception Of Saint uilaire's room.
She knew his dislike of being dis
turhed. and moreover she had not en-
tered this room Tor a long time. so that
she could not have left the diamonds
there.
A few DAYS later at one Of Nine.
Saint-Iiilaire's lat homes" her hus-
band appeared. and a woman among
the guests who supposed he knew Of
the disappearance of the diamonds
asked him II they had been found.
