Perhaps the most astounding of all
stories about arrow shooting is that
of the Indians who used to inhabit
Florida. It is said that a group of
them would form a circle; one would
throw an ear of corn Into the air;
the rest would shoot at It and shell
it of every grain before it fell to the
ground. Sometimes the arrows would
strike the ear of corn so hard and fast
that it would remain suspended in the
air several minutes, and the cob never
fell until the last grain had been shot
away.—Chicago Record-Herald.

Obedience of Orders.
A naval commander in the. reign ot
Queen Anne was ordered to cruise with
a squadron within certain limits on the
coast of Spain. Having received Infor­
mation that a Spanish ^leet was In Vi­
go, beyond Ills limits, he resolved to
risk his personal responsibility for the
good of his country. He accordingly
attacked and defeated the Spanish fleet
with uncommon gallantry. When he

Coughing In Liau of Oratory,
A singular fashion which prevailed
among the preachers of Cromwell's
time was that of coughing or hemming
in the middle of a sentence In order
to attract the attention of the con­
gregation. The necessity of continually
attracting the attention of the listeners
could not have argued well for the
brilliance of the sermons. Some au­
thorities say that the preachers coughed
merely as an ornament to speech. At
any rate, when the sermons were print­
ed. as many of them were, the coughs
aud hems were always indicated on
the margin of the page.— St. Louie Re­

MONEY SYSTEMS.
Twenty-six different monetary uniti
are used by the forty-eight prlnclpa
countries of the world. Thus Great
Britain uses the sovereign or pound
sterling, France and six other countries
of Europe use a unit equal to tbr
franc, and Canada and the United
States use the dollar.
In value these different units range
from 4.4 to 404.33 cents of money ot
the United States. They are represent
ed In their turn by coins the values ol
which are either multiples or fractions
parts of the vslue of their own chief
units, and there are no doubt at least
200 such sufficient coins not one of
which seems to have a value equal tc
that of any commonly known unit of
weight, as the gram, for example, ot
the ounce of gold, although forty-three
of these forty-eight countries have ac
cepted gold as their standard measure
of values.
This lack of logical relation of coins
to any widely used unit of weight ol
the precious metals may be due to the
fact that money systems seem to have
grown up haphazard, under diverse
conditions of life. In different parts of
the world.
Such diversity In moneys may have
been of little moment when millions ol
people spent their lives knowing noth
Ing of the existence of other millions
and there was little traffic. But these
differences In monetary units are of
Importance now that international
commerce Includes millions of tons ot
