When Leather Wm Money.
Leather was very early used as a
currency, the Romans employing It for
tills purpose before either gold, silver
or brass came into common use. His
tory is full of references showing that
leather was used by the ancients as a
sort of circulating medium of ex
change. It is said on good authority
that so late as during the reign of
Louis XII. of France the country be
came so Impoverished and as a con
sequence money was 90 scarce that
little pieces of leather with a small
silver nail driven through each were
in general use as money. Some few
specimens of this leather money a*e
still in existence, but are only to be
found In the possession of numis
matists, by whom they are highly
prized
Cultivate Your Wlft'i Friendship.
If a man has a good wife he has the
best friend it is possible to have. "A
man's best friend," says Buiwer Lyt
ton, "is a wife of good sense and good
heart whom he loves and who loves
him. In woman there are at once a
subtle delicacy of tact and a plain
soundness of Judgment which are rare
ly combined to an equal degree in a
man. A woman, if she be really your
friend, will have a sensitive regard for
your character, honor and repute. She
will seldom counsel you to do a shabby
thing, for a woman always desires to
bo proud of you. At the same time ber
constitutional timidity makes her more
cautious than your male friend. She
therefore seldom counsels you to do an
Imprudent deed."
How It Happened.
An English lawyer was cross examin
ing the plaintiff in a breach of promise
case. "Was the defendant's air when
he promised to marry you perfectly se
rious or one of Jocularity?" he Inquired.
"If you please, sir," was the reply,
'It was all ruffled with 'tm a-ruisnln'
'Is 'anils through it"
"You misapprehend my meaning,"
said the lawyer. "Was the promise
made In uttvr sincerity?"
"No, sir, 8a' no place like it It was
made In the wash'ouse, an' me a-wring
ln' the clothes," replied the plaintiff.?
