Before Mexico was Invaded by tho Span lards coins wcro unknown In this coun try, tho natives using in the placo of money tho smallest cacao Ijeotis, reserv ing those of larger slue and lietter quality for the mnuufacturo of liquor, to which thoy wcro much addicted About 14 years aftor tho conquest that Is to say, about the year 1535 Cas tlllan coin commenced to mitko Its ap poarnnco in Moxleo. As it nrrlved, however, only In very small quantities, it proved Itself insufficient for the needs of trade, even though'tho latter was still of very Insignificant proportions. It was then that tho ruling viceroy, under authority of a royal decree, ordered tho manufacture in tho City of Mexico of small pieces of sliver of a certain weight. These pieces were not stamped with any coinage whatsoever, and their value was determined entirely by their wolght and slzo. From this was derived the namo "peso," which has outlived tho first at tempt at making money in Mexico up to tho present. Those pieces of silver re mained in circulation a number of years, and pieces of gold and of copper wcro also added In tinio. Soon, howovor, It was found that this sort of circulating me dium made fraud and abuse extremely cosy, and tho Spanish government, tak ing cognlzanco of this fact, established by royal decree threo mints, granting them a perpetual oxlstcnco for America. Thoso mints wcro located In Son Luis, Santa Fo and tho City of Moxleo. The same decree also provided that in San Domingo, on tho Spanish Island known today as Porto Klco, only copper monoy should bo made, according to tho regulations governing tho mint of Custllo in tho year 1089. Tho colnago of Moxico was actually begun during the reign of Viceroy Antonio do Mendoza, who established a mint in a building belonging to tho Marquis dol Valle. Hero It remained only a short time, being transferred first to tho council building and later to the viceregal palace. During all this time tho colnago was of considerable amount, and tho facilities of the establishment wcro not sufficient to meet tho demahds miidoupon it for coins, for which reason frequent demands for minting apparatus aro found In tho an cient records. ' In tho year 1778 tho mint was established In tho Apartado building and has continued slnco then in tho street of that namo. From tho" declaration of lndepcndeuco until tho year 1817 the mint was rented out to private parties, who supplied with coin nil tho states of tho re public that had no mints of their own.

A STRONG anti trust bill, giving the right to sue-for damages to nil injured by trusts, has been introduced in our State Senate by Mr. Boyd. This measure is in the right direction. There is hardly iv day passes that the newspapers do not record the forma tion of a trust by those engaged in a certain line of business. Under these circumstances the coining of a trust panic is inevituble, unless some such law as cited above is enacted and en forced. In all other respects our country Is sound, with sufficient money and no inflation ; with low rates of interest, not averaging 4 per cent, for all the money loaned in all parts of the land ; with Europe empty ing her surplus wealth in our lap and even borrowing to meet temporary needs. The future is bright, but for the one cloud, and good sense and the enforcement of the law can rid that of danger.

Well, we like that, from Major Finney, now Sub-Treasurer of Phila delphia 1 It may be true, as our es teemed but sometimes misguided con temporary remarks, that the building would "drop out of sight" were it erected in Shenandoah. We are posi tlve of ono thing, however, and that Is the town would lose nothing by the droD. We are compelled to admit that the new building Is a great im provement on the present antiquated quarters of Pottsville's postmaster and, true again, were the new rtruc ture bui t on architectural lines as becomes n. town hankering after city charter, the press of the county seat would daily sing the praises of "the late Mr. Reilly" and "the pres nt Mr. Brumm." and point with pride to the Federal building as monument to their memory. But perhaps it is well, if that is the pur pose, that the building was ereoted aloncr the lines of architecture that It Is. "Ignoranoe and taste in arelii tecture." indeed ! We will vouoh for the truth of the assertion that not onlv do the residents of Pottsville avoid the particular locality of Nor weglan aud Second streets, but they refuse even to accompany a stranger for an Inspection of their "puhli building." Yes, Pottsville has Federal buildinir but they wont acknowledge it. Women Should Know It. Many women suffer untold agony and misery because the nature of their disease is noj correctly understood. TUey have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for tlie many ills that beset womankind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, pufiy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak ness or bearing-down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burning sensation, sediment in it sfter stand ing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are'signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptoms arc ofren attributed by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to ob'ain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men ore made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble and both need the same remedy.

Then Italcigh betook him to his Mp and led tho van under the batteries and right Into the harbor. Vihea his vessel, shat tered by shot, was on tho point of sinking, he left it to enter Essex's ship, and, though wounded severely by a splinter, had himself carried on shore and lifted on to a horse to chargo with Essex against the Hpanlsh army.

Tho French has not a complcto alphabet to represent all Its sounds In a slmplo and systemntlo manner, but tho French use tho incomplete nnd dcfectlvo Uoman al phabet much more consistently tlian wo, Tho object of writing Is to convoy thought. An Ideal system would allow of tho con vcyanco of thought with tho least expendi ture of energy on tho part of both writer nnu ronuor. Tho sounds of tho spoken language should bo represented by tho simplest, most complete nnu most logical system There nro in English 40 distinct sounds; 40 distinct letters are needed to represent them. With such a systom tho lntermlna bio difficulty of learning to spell would disappear, tho time spent In printing and writing unnecessary letters would bo saved and tho learning of tho lang'uago by ohil dren nnd foreigners would bo greatly fa cllltatod. Thoro is no valid objection to phonetlo spelling except tho difficulty of Introducing It. Tho etymological oujco tiou Is unworthy of serious consideration. Tho etymology, for example, of "soph Ism" (which, by the way, does not import a wise saying) resides In tho real word not in Its spelling. Any one who knows the history of tho word would associate that history with It, however It might be spelled. Tho Philological association fa vors phonetlo spelling. It Is, of courso, hnposslblo to mako so radical a chango at once, but It does not follow that tho beno fits of phonetlo spelling, tho metrlo system or any other great improvement will come to us In I ho surest and best way by simply leaving t';e matter to chance. There Is a tendency to shorten spelling, but the bene fits to bo derived from improvement aro so great thut definite action should be taken to secure them early and to make tho changes in tho way that will bo most beneficial. Changes for better and for worse will contlnuo to como by chanco as they havo como In tho past, but chanco chango In so lmportunt a matter as the language of the most enlightened and most progressive people of the world should not bo satisfactory.
