Weighs Eighty Pounds and Hardly Avaih able as a Pocket Piece. " First and last there have been many- different kinds of dollars in the United States—silver dollars, gold dollars and multifarious paper dollars of some— times dubious value; and in other countries, iron, platinum, brass, bone, Ivory, and even wheat and cotton goods have done duty as money. But the oddest “dollar” ever seen thus far, per- haps, is that coined, or rather quar- ried, by the chiefs of the island of Yap, one of the group of Caroline Islanads In the South Pacific _ These Yap coins are even more cum- bersome to carry about than the great silver ”daddy dollar” of our own land. Vastly more cumbersome, indeed, since they weigh eighty pounds apiece and are over two feet in diameter! A de- faulting cashier would certainly have difficulty in absconding with many of them! Two of these strange pieces of money may now be seen in the National Mu- seum at Washington. They are circu- lar disks of coralline rock, dull white In color, yet apparently crystalline, twenty-six inches in diameter and from three to four inches thick. At the centre of each there is a round hole two inches and a half in diameter. The Yap chief enjoys a monopoly in this singular sort of coinage. When in want of money, he has but to send his slaves to, the quarry to fashion as many flat “dollars" as he needs. His treasury is a number of long poles set on support in front of the royal but. he dollars are struck on the poles like beads in a necklace; and the number of strings of these great stone dollars possessed by a chief is the gage of his wealth and respectabil- lty But if utility should be a character— istic of money, a dozen- grindstones piled on a pole would be of more value than the whole of it—Youth’s Compan- 1011.

Bernhardt: does not grow more reasonable ’or obliging as she grows older. It has been her habit for many years to keep her‘ audiences waiting until shefgot ready to go on the. stage, whether it happened to be a quarter, a half or three. quarters of an hour, and -_the audiences have quietly submitted and now the report has recently come along the shivering cable that she refused ,to, attend a municipalreception given to herself by the authorities of Por,tsmouth England, her excuse being that she did not feel strong enough to climb the steps of the Town Hall. And so the mighty ones of Portsmouth waited In their official robes—rich and bean- tiful garments which such persons wear over there—and waited for the French actress to come, never think- ing, in the simplicity of their hospi- table souls, that their architect had built their Town Hall so high as to make it unreasonable for them to think of paying special henors to French actresses. It is curious that the municipal au- thorities of Portsmouth should have thought of giving an official reception to Mme. Bernhardt at all, but when 'the fact that they did'is fully digested it seems strange that she should not have accepted with alacrity, till her own probable view is taken into ac- count, that she could gain a good deal more distinction by refusing than by accepting it. All English provincial towns will no loubt hereafter refrain from giving re- ceptions to notoriously capricious French actresses, or else 'will see that their town halls are built with their reception-rooms on the level ‘of the ground—New York Tribune. A . J A Considerate Judge. There is a venerable and benevolent iudge in Paris who at the moment of passing sentence on a prisoner con- tults his assessors on each side of him as to the penalty proper to be inflicted. "What ought we to give this rascal, brother?” he says, bending over to the assessor on the right. “I should say LhIee years.” “What is you opinion, brother?” to the assessor on the left. ‘I should give him about four years.’ The judge, with benevolence: "Piison- or, not desiring to give you a long and severe term of imprisonment, as I should have done if left to myself, I have consulted my learned brothers and shall take their advice. Seven vears.”—-New York Tribune. Willie Sm'all‘wit'zn—I had a hard fall from my wheel, and I tell you it ':nocked me silly. Ethel Smartwitz—Too bad. and can‘t you find a doctor who can help you? .1 ‘ V. Brandreth’sPills The difference between these pills and all other medicines is told in the following statement of facts: Ist.

BRANERETH'S PILLS are composed one-third of the best extract'of satsa- parilla that can be made. It is highly concentrated and it makes of these pills the best blood purifiers that you can get, one 25-cent box con- taining more of the active blood-purifying principle of sarsaparilla than a dollar's worth of any liquid preparation in the market. 81h. One or two, taken every night, will cure rheumatism in almost every instance. W“ ”<MJ..W- ”- u- I. «WEQM‘ 9th.
