All amateurs are familiar with the musical term "syncopation," hut for tho benefit of the non-musical It may bo saiil that It is a word relating to time or rhythm, the precise UKuninr; of which will be sufficiently indicated by the story. A Celebrated conductor was conduct ing a long aeries of conceits, and ho had observed that it was always the same policeman who was stationed at tho nearest door to tho orchestra, lie marking up<?n this, he "was informed that tho officer in question was be coming qiilto an expert in musical terms, etc., bo long had he been on duty inside tho hall. However, one eyeDing he was passing, and meeting him accidentally in tho corridor next night, the great conductor accosted him thus: "Officer," ho said, "wbere~were yoi last night?" "I^ast night, director?" replied the cop. "Oh, I was in syncopation." "In what?" gasped tho conductor. "In syncopation ? off the beaf, sir," replied the policeman. The Colonial Shilling. The value of the Colonial shilling was gradually reduced from the Eng lish standard as tho result of per slstent coin slipping. As early as 1G42 Massachusetts raised the rating of the Spanish dollar to 5s and Con necticut took similar action tha fol lowing year. In 1645 Virginia raise.' the rating of the dollar to 6s. In 1652 'Massachusetts established a mint and began to coin shillings that Were"22H per cent, higher than the sterling standard. In 1683 tho Spanish dollar, weighing approximate ly 17 pennyweights, was rated at 6s 9d, while Pennsylvania valued it at 7b. The consequence of these vari ations In the colonies was1 that in 1707 parliament passed an act pro viding that the Spanish piece of 8 reals (dollar) should not be valued at more than 6s, but Bullock tells us in hie "Monetary History of the United States" that this law was al most universally Ignored. Finally New York arid North Caro lina settled upon a rating of 8s to the dollar, and this valuation was gradu ally accepted and retained until our national monetary system was estab lished. Simple Spelling Move. A conference between represents tives of British and American societies to extend the movement for a simpli fication of English spelling has Just been held at University college in Eng land, with a largo number of profes sors connected with English universi ties, and the following from America: Dr. James E. Bright of Johns Hopkins university, Charles H. Grandgent of Harvard university, Dr. George Hemp] of Leland Stanford university and Dr. Brander Matthews and Dr. Calvin Thomas of Columbia univer sity. The proceedings were private, but a report of tho conference will doubtless be made public after it has been submitted to tho societies repre sented. Foolish Question.
