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.
Foresight.
Little Willie—Say. pa. what is fore-
sight? Pa—Foresight, my son, is the
faculty of being around when there is
2 melon to be cut.—Chicago News,
Circumstances are not in our power;
virtues are.—Farrar.
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

A HOPEFUL POET.
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. Recog-
pition will come some time, It must
come, Officer. please see that Pegasus
is properly cared for until | return!”
The Lunatic’s Idea of It.
“] was going through one of the
wards the other day.” said the super-
intendent of a lunatic asylum, “when
one of the patients—incurably insane,
1 believe—walked up to me to an-
pounce that he wanted to be dis-
charged.
“Why? 1 asked.
“ ‘Because I've been here three
years, and that's long enough he re-
plied. ‘And | want to be discharged
today. too." he added.
“1 looked at him steadily for several
seconds and then said:
“My dear fellow, do you realize
that I have been here seventeen years
and have not been discharged yet?
“The question appeared to puzzle
the man for an instant. 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.
