Heroes Reduced to Want.

The highest British decoration for
valor in battle, the Victoria cross, does
not necessarily pave the way to good
Job in peace time. Several winners
Of the decoration have been found In
the ranks of the unemployed, and
more than one has tried to pawn his
decoration because of the lack OF
money, but IT is illegal for a pawn
broker to accept one as pledge for q
loan One Victoria cross captain, who
won his at the storming of Yhiepvai
September, 1915, when he was twenty.
two years old, has hit upon the idea
Of touring the villages with travel
ing moving-picture show. Two Others
are acting as advertising agents, while
another has gone back to his old job
as a surfaceman in a mining village
In the midlands. Captain Towse, the
famous blind V. c., is working at st
Dunstan's, the London home for blind
soldiers started by the late Sir Ar.
thur Pearson.

PENNY AS TOKEN OR PLEDGE
Derivation Of Coin comes From Such
Words as "Panel," "Pane,"
"counterpans," Etc.

In Its original form the penny was
not a coin, but token or pledge. Its
derivation comes from the same source
as that from which we get the word
pawn and also such words as
panel" pane" "counterpane,s and
'tpanicle."
The readiest pledge TO leaye In pawn
was cloth, hence the Latin ''pannaP b
piece of cloth. The original paAel was
a piece Of cloth, or patch, and from
this we get the word pane" - ap-
piled to a pane of glass, and also the
word penny" Its literal meaning be-
ing pledge or token, and hence a
coin. Originally the word was spelt
'peny."
The word shilling really means q d.
vision Of money into small parts, and
Il obtained from a word meaning ito
divide" Thus, In the first place, It
was not coin, but an indication q
money having been made up N small
form.
Sterling, as applied to money, % de-
rived from the Hanseatic league
which had an important house In Eng
land. AS their land lay ITO the east o.
England" Englishmen called them
"Easterlings," and the gold they paid
in the course of trade became known
as Clustering money" Subsequently
the expression became sterling.

Nordic Race Is Rapidly
Disappearing in Europe

A shifting Of peoples has been go
ing on In Europe for generations, and
since medieval times the lower classes
and races have expanded at the ex-
pense Of the upper classes, SO that
many countries which formerly had
large Nordic populations, such as
Spain and Italy and the provinces Of
the old Austrian empire, are almost
stripped Of their Nordic blood. France,
which all through medieval times
down to within a century ago was
very Nordic, has reached a point
where the Nordic population has
shrunk to hopeless minority In the
nation. Germany is feeling the re-
placement Of Nordic by Alpine blood
very severely, and many Of her fore
most thinkers regard her as almost
lost to the Nordic race. The great
French anthropologist, De Lapouge,
stated in conversation with the writer
that Germany of today Is not nearly
so Nordic as France was at the time
Of the religious wars. The case of
England, still Overwhelmingly Nordic,
Is also a serious one, because the in
dustrial revolution there (as well as
In other European countries) has led
to q great expansion Of the non-Nor-
die elements-chiefy Mediterranean.

Pit ponies are not the only creatures
that live in coal mines, seldom seeing
the light of day. Miners are often
troubled with rats, mice. flies, and even
frogs and toadS
The presence of mice spells danger.
They have been known to gnaw cables,
causing electric wires to fuse and va
por to be exploded IN gassy pits. Their
food consists of scraps from the
miners meals, and they have a strange
liking for oil, which they Lick from the
fabricated parts of machinery in the
mine. Whatever their diet, however,
