_——e Bellefonte, Pa., November 5, 19089, —————————————————— There Are Ten Kinus on Uncle Sam’s Official List. ALL ARE NOT LEGAL TENDER. Some of the Most Imposing of the Pa- per Currency May Be Lawfully Re- fused When Offered In Payment of an Obligation of Any Kind. Officially there are just ten kinds of money in circulation in the United States. Could you name them all off- hand? Do you know which of those besides gold coin are legal tender and in what amount? It may be that “all money looks alike to you,” but there's a difference, and below Is the list: Gold coins, standard silver dollars, subsidiary silver, gold certificates, sil- ver certificates, treasury notes (1800), United States notes (greenbacks), na- tional bank notes, nickel coins and bronze coins. Looking upon this formidable classl- fication of United States money as made by the treasury department, it becomes more formidable when it is considered from the highly technical point of view as a legal tender. Some of the most imposing of the paper cur- rency is not a legal tender at all, while, as to the minor coins, they are legal tender in such small amounts as to startle the average layman. It may be well to recall to this layman that the term “legal tender” owes its signifi- cance to the fact that in payment of debt or obligation of any kind it can be forced upon the creditor “in full of all demands.” Gold certificates, silver certificates and national bank notes, of which such enormons numbers circulate everywhere, are not legal tender. If you have plenty of money and if you have forced Jones to sue you in order to get judgment, Jones can turn down every one of these bills tendered in payment and force you to dig up some- thing better. Should Jones do such a thing you might conceive the idea of fixing him by unloading a whole lot of silver colus upon him. But you want to know what you're doing there, too, for he'll take only $10 worth of halves, quarters and dimes, while of nickels and cop- per cents only 25 cents value is legal tender. But as to the standard silver dollar, there's no limit upon your shoveling them out to Jones. ‘T'his old “dollar of our dads” still is the real thing in all business transactions unless some clause in a contract bas provided oth- erwise. Joues may refuse the silver certificate, but when you dig up the metal dollar they go unquestioned at their face value. And 1,000 of them weigh 58.92 pounds. - Treasury notes of the act of 1880 are legal tender to their face value in pay- ment of all debts, public and private, unless expressly stipulated in the con- tract. Strictly speaking, the United States notes or greenbacks are legal tender, with the esception of duties on im- ports and interest on the public debt. Practically, however, since the resump- tion of specie payment in 1879, green- backs have heen received freely and without question by the government, though the law respecting them hasn't been changed. While the gold and silver certificates are not legal tender as between indi viduals, both issues are receivable for all government dues of whatever kind. in this respect legally more acceptable than is the greenback. National bunk notes, while not legal tender and not receivable for duties on imports, still may be pald by the gov- ernment for salaries and all debts of the government except interest dues and in redemption of national currency. By especial enactment no foreign coin of any kind or denomination shall be a legal tender 'n the United States, so that if some time the street car con- ductor does balk at the chance Cana- dian dime fished from your pocket keep cool and dig for something that is United States. It's your move.—Chi cago Tribune. Fun For the Boy. “So you tried to convince your son that he was not 100 old to be subjected to corporal discipline?” “That's what | did.” answered Farm- er Corntossel. “I gave him a good old fashioned dressin’ down in the woodshed jes’ the same as if he had been ten years younger.” “What did he do?’ “He jes’ laughed an’ said it remind- ed him of the good times he had wher he was bein’ initiated in his college fraternity.” — Washington Star. Where Courtesy Prevails. “The South Americans are very po- lite,” said the man who travels. “Naturally,” answered’ Miss Cay- enne. “In some of those republics it is not safe to slight the humblest citi- zen. There is no telling what moment be may become president.”—Washing- ton Star. Marriage. “Marriage may be compared to a tram car,” said a confirmed bachelor. “Why ?" asked his fair partner. “Because some people are just as anxious to get out of it as others are to enter!”—London Telegraph.

FISH THAT WALK. — co — Climbing Perch Travel Over From Water to Water. It may seem absurd to speak of fishes as walking. The fiying fish is well known, but its flight looks much like swimming in the air. We naturally think of fishes as living always in water, as being incapable, in fact, of living anywhere else. But nature main- tains no hard and fast lines of distine- tion between animal life which belongs to the land and that which belongs to the water. If we can believe the ac- counts of naturalists, there are fishes that traverse dry land. It is reported that Dr. Francis Day of India has collected data of several instances of the migration of tishes by land from one piece of water to an- other. A party of English officers were upon one occasion encamped in a certain part of India when their attention was attracted by a rustling sound in the grass and leaves. Investigation showed it to be caused by myriads of little fishes that were making for one direction and were passing slowly on. There were hundreds of them moving Land «Do you know that yon can get the finest, oranges, bananas aud grape fruis, and pine apples, Sechler & Co.

Failure to Recognize His Genius Didn't Dampen His Ardor. Paddy Quinn, a type of bohemian found only between the covers of a cheap novel, was sentenced by Justice Samuel! C. Hyde, congressional repre- sentative for Washington during ter- ritorial days, to serve ten days on the rock pile after confessing that he bad worked only seventy-five minutes dur- ing his stay of two months in Spo- kane. Asked by the court to explain how he earned a living, the prisoner sald: “1 am a poet. but there is no use ‘explaining to you that which would be unintelligible to your mind. | wil recite some of my poetry instead. | will read a few stanzas from my mas- terpiece.” Before Quinn could give voice to the second line of his latest work the court had imposed sentence and the sweet singer was on the way to the city jail, where his tattered garments, oxford shoes and flesh colored hose were exchanged for overalls, jumper and hobnailed brogans. His long black hair and flowing beard were also trimmed for hygenic purposes, and. armed with a six pound bamwer, he started for the rock pile, mambling as be left the station: “The muse got an awful joit that time at the hands of an unsympathetic judge: but, then, there's hope.

Then be snap- ped at me: “ ‘Well, you ought to have been dis- charged long ago.’ "—New York Globe. Corset Ancient Armor. A French historian of women’s dress states that the corset was worn by the ancient Egvptinns. This assertion is borne out by the figures carved on the tombs of women, who are invariably represented as wearing a garment strongly resembling the modern cor- set. There does not appear to be ‘any representation extant of Cleopatra VI, the beloved of Antony, but in one of the temples there is a figure of her predecessor. Cleopatra II, in which the sculptor has endowed her with a corset cut en the lines of those worn today. Whalebone was probably un- known to the Egyptians, but a nation capable of constructing pyramids with- out steam cranes would probably find no difficulty in making stays without busks.—London Chronicle.
