Whatdo you mean by a measure of value as amouey metal.! Dr. Rosewater—I mean that when the con- untry was framed it was decided that silverand gold should both share alike, in performing the functions of money and it becamenceessary to have these money als s0regulated with regard to their ro tive valio s to keep up the equilibriun and prevent a disturbinee of the finauces of the country Dbecwuse a dis- turbince of the fiinces means a stoppige of commorce moro or less.

The Acrobatic Pests Making Lifea Burden to Residents of Harlem. That troublesome pest, the elusive flea, has reappeared in Harlem, summer the ravages of the insect wer likened unto one of the plaguesof Bgypt. This year the advance guard only has arrived, but the end is not yet. For some days numbers of families liv- ing on the east side of the city, above Central park, have been noticed to get up suddenly and leave the room without apparent eauso, says the Mail and pre They 'would reappear inn fow moments with an expression of relief upon their faces. Nothing, of course, would be said sbout fleas. Druggists have been selling an unconscionable amount of Insect powder in Harlem lately, and it was through them that the secrot leaked out, For secret it was. No family tell its neighbor that it had a visitation of fleas, Ivery Harlem housewife is proud of the nliness of her domicile, and to acknowledge the presence of fleas would be like confessing to a crime. The real estate men were also interested in supprossing the facts, and no Harlem newspaper dared mention the arrival of the uninvited summer visitor. They were in a state of trepidation as to the effect of the flea upon the Harlem reul estate boom, Thevefore only the drug- gist was taken into their confidence. Some queer tales are told of young men who are on calling terms with cer- tain Harlem maidens, and who were un- til recently unacquainted with the hab- its of the flea. Their knowledge of nat- ural history hus been suddenly devel- oped, and they have taken to anointing the extremities of their trousers with pennyroyal. But they are diserect, and nota whisper of their experiences do they tell. ~As yot the unwelcome guests have mnot invaded the West Side and have not been reported below One Hun- dred and Tenth street.

French tradesmen, acting on their own initiative, have opened a comme cial museum in the labor exchange, nes the Central markets, says the London Daily Telegraph. This institution ulti- mately may roceive offielal patronage, but the funds for its organizition camo from private sources. It is divided into two parts, one comprising all the official documents furnished by the colonial of- fice, respecting trade in Algeria, Ton- uin, and other places under the Frenck flag. To these papers are added consu- lar reports on countries wherein French exports aro likely to find a de- mand, and, finally, eneral, geo- grnphm\l and ethnological notes foreign parts and their in- h xhn.mt«, In the sccond department of the institution are exhibited samples of French goods and products intended for exportation to the colonies or abroad. From a purely business point of view the Commercial museum wiil prove interest- ing and useful, not only to Frenchmen but to foreign merchants and manufac- turers who may v it for hints and suggestions. Its organizers also hope to make it the meuns of giving anim- petus to the export trade in France and of enabling the local or provincial firms to compete with the energetic and ublquitous German and English traders, who, according to many economists her are fast monopolizing between them the business of the world, If the new Com- mercial museum of Paris Produces these results its organizers will cortainly de- serve the gratitude of their fellow-coun- trymen, would e B S Up Jumped a Skeleton Behind the Pulpit, The First Baptist church, situated at the corner of Third avenue and Six- teenth street, West Troy, was the scene of ashameful and sacriligeous disturb- ance during thg services Sunday even- ing, says the Troy Standavd.
