They Must Keep Posted on European Coins and Counterfeits. "I never realized until today," said a man who had just returned from Eu rope, "what an undertaking it is to be a money changer. "I came back with about $20 in for eign money, principally French and Italian. This I took to a money changer's to cash in. "He looked over the coins rapidly, throwing them into little piles and put ting down notes on a slip of paper. When he had cleared up the lot he said I had $10.25 coming to me. "At first I thought he was doing me, but he was not. He showed me a dozen or so Italian coins that had been demonetized and were worth about 40 cents on the dollar. There was a nice little pile of counterfeits- that were not worth a cent, and altogether only about a third of the coins that I brought home were worth their full value. "The only consolation I had was that I thanked my stars I am In the insur ance business and not in the exchange business, for my poor little brair could not carry half the things that those fellows have to remember." The man with the coins did not ex aggerate. There are thousands of dif ferent coins floating about that a money changer has to know. He has to keep in mind every demonetized coin made within the last hundred years. In addition to that, there are counter feits. The immigrants bring over heaps of bad coins. Many of them buy up counterfeits cheap, with the hope of exchanging them at Ellis island. Then there are the coins of the South American coun*ries. They are worse than those of the European countries. Brazil, for instance, has a scheme all its own. Certain notes are good for ten years. After that time for every year they lose 10 per cent of their face value until the whole value is used up and they are worth only the paper they are printed on. As one man expressed it, you have to know the history of the world to be a money changer. A peculiar part of the business is the reshipment of coins back to the countries whence they came. Often during the rush season one firm sends back a million coins, while it is estimated that In the course of a year $10,000,000 in foreign money is reshipped to Europe and a million to the rest of the world. Money changing is a business just like any other. They do not exchange money; they buy It, and when you go there with foreign coins they buy them from you at a stated price. When you go there to get foreign coins you buy them from them at a certain price just as you buy eggs and cigars.-New York Sun. Sournded Bad.

Perhaps the most misleading name on the map is that of Tierra del Fuego, the "Land of Fire." The name would imply that it was a land of volcanoes in constant activity. The fact is, how ever, that it contains no volcanoes and is a country of perpetual wet and cold. It got its name from the fact that it was sighted by Magellan at night In consequence of a large fire having been ignited by the natives on shore. The same discoverer happened to have very fine weather after he had round ed the Horn and so gave the name "Pacific" to a part of the ocean which is exceptionally subject to storms. Again, Boothia Felix, a peninsula in arctic America, in which the magnetic pele is located, is anything but "hap py" cr "pleasant," as its name would imply. It was named after Sir Felix Booth, who provided funds for the ex pedition which discovered it. In anoth er sense the name of America is whol ly misleading, since it is derived from that of Amerigo Vespucci, who did not discover the new world. From Personal Experience. Uncle Eli felt he knew the metrop olis pretty well. Had he not been there three times in four years? And twice he had ridden on the elevated. So when he brought Aunt Susan with him (on the fourth trip) he naturally assumed the role of guide. She marveled at everything until they sat down for luncheon. They had gone into the Hotel Astor for that meal, but all its other marvels seemed lost on the. visiting country hostess as she looked open eyed at the crowds that filled not only the corridors, but the restaurants. Scarcely had they found seats when this amazement took definite shape. "Eli," said she in a stage whisper, "I can't set here an' eat peaceably. I jes' must go downstairs an' help pore issus Astor with the coekin' and dishes."-Bohemilan. That languid., lifeless feeling that, comes with spring and early summer. can be quickly changed to a feeling of buoyancy and energy by the judicious use of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. The Restorative is a "enuine tonic to tired. rundown nerves. and but a few Joses is needed to satisfy the user that Dr. Shoop's Restorative is actually reaching that tired spot. The indoor life of winter nearly always leads to sluggish bowels, and to sluggish circu lation in general. The customary lack of exercises and outdoor air ties up the liver. stagnaees the kidneys, and oft times weakens the Heart's action. Use Dr. Shoop's Restorative a few weeks and all will be changed.

William Faviershan once saved him self a dismissal froira company in his early days through his quick wit. "I had been engaged as 'utility man.'" he F:ays. "with a company that opened wvit a wt::- inay i a western town. I had a di t n:rt that ran through every act. and it was impor tant even if I had little to say or do. I got along very vell. and in spite of the many costume changes I had I met with u6 difculty until the last act I was an 'orderly' in this scene, and I was hurrying to buckle my belt when I heard my cue. "I hastened to the wings. Some one threw fuller's earth all over me to show that I had been riding hard, and I dashed madly on just as the sound of hoofs died away. When I reached the center of the stage and the ap plause had subsided my hand went Into my tunic for my dispatches. which I was to hand to General Allen. I had forgotten them! "Now, these dispatches furnished the climax of the play. and something had to be done, and done quickly. I felt my heart rise in my throat and knew that every one on the stage was looking at me. The wait was growing awful, terrible. and I was just about losing courage when a brilliant idea came to me. I threw open my shirt. ripped off a porous plaster I was wear-! ing and thrust it into the general's hand. Then I staggered to a chair and dropped exhausted. There was .a round of applause, for the audience thought that I had been shot and had covered the wound with the dispatch es."-Bohemian. Thirty days' tral $i.00 is the offer on Pine es.
