Americana of tbo class wbo go to Europe take note that in Germany a coin is tifictl called a pfennig and - worth a quarter of a cent and that in France centime are in use, which are current at one-fifth of "a cent. This practice of using money in such minute, divisions excites the con tempt of Americans, which is, how- crer, returned by tho Germans and French and is expressed freely at the foolish 'and wasteful Americans who, in thtir own country, mako no uso of any coin less than a cent. And yet there is a change gradual ly extending over the United-States in what may be called the money using habits of the people. Thero was a time within the remembrance of western and southern Americans, before United States silver coin was In general circulation in the Missis eippi valley, when the picayune, a Spanish coin worth when in good condition 6i cents and when worn smooth 5 cents,- was the smallest coin in use. From the picayuno came the word picayunlih, signify ing a email, mean, penurious na ture. In New England, where the people o divided tho dollar as to create many fractions and continued to ppeak of shillings, pence and half pence long after our separation from England, a copper coinage was main: tained, and people contended for the odd cents and even half cents due them. In making change from the ntrlimit n4 "lint lcinnin WCSt Of the Hudson there was until n com paratively recent, penuu nu uustruwc of copper coin?, nothing for sale at less than 5 cents and a general dis position to speak lightly of even 5 cent transactions. This has, within tho present gen eration.grcatly changed. Tho nickel has come to stay, ami cents are ev ery where in circulation. Tho gov ernment set-an example in first re . duciog letter postage to 3 cents and later to 2 cents. Tho proud, haughty and lavish American fouud himself compelled to deal in coins less than 5 cents. Tho cheapening of postage led to the selling of, many articles of common use, such as newsiuipers, at less than 5 cents, and whatever sacrifice of pride it may have cost; the average American found himself buying these things at the reduced prices and dealing in nickels and pennies. It was a come down but it came. It should be remembered that these bo called dealings were not the result of decreasing wealth in the country, since the supply uf money .in tho country has been steadily in creasing for many yeais, but were the effect of increasing sense. The massive and yet acute intellect of tho American has 'grasped tho fact that thero is no reason why he should' buy more of a given article than he needs or pjty for it twice as inucb as is asked. Slowly the most intelligent and best educated inhab itant of tho earth has surrounded worth of something, if that is what he needs, and paying a cent for it. With tho increased u?e of smaller change has como the practice of buy ing and selling most things at once unheard of prices. Tho wonl cheap, once unpopular with Americans, is a at quite common now. There is a high priceandalowprico for everything, and well to do people are not afraid or ashamed to pay tho latter. We have not arrived yet at the pfennig and tho centime, but wo may get there. We do not save matches and candle ends and lumps of sugar which we have onco bought and paid for, as they do in the old countries, but ' there is no good rea son why we should not. With all our wisdom thero is no just cause why we should not accumulate pen ny wisdom. It is hard to predict what the United States might arrive at if, in addition to being the richest country in the world, it was in the habits of its people the most sensi ble and saving.

' A Clever Imitation. A certain Cleveland attorney has two bright littlo children. They are quick at imitation and have a talent for making up games in which they cleverly burlesque their elders. A few days ago their mamma found they wcro playing 'doctor.1 The youngest child was the patient, with head wrapped in a towel, and the older the physician, with a silk hat and a cane. The mother, unseen by tbo little ones, listened at the door way. MI feels awful -bad,'. said the pa tient. ; "We'll fix all that," said the doc tor briskly. "Lemme see your tongue.' Out came tho tiny red indicator. Hum! Hum! Coated," said the doctor, looking very grave indeed. Then, without a word of warning, the skilled physician hauled off and gave the patient a smart slap in the region of the ribs. 'Ouchi' cried the eufferer. Feel any pain -there 1" inquired tho doctor. "Yes, said the patient . I thought J50," said the healer. 'How's the other side!" "It'B all right," said the patient, edging away. ThfTpnnon the doctor nroducod a small bottlo filled with what looked like either bread or mud pills and Dlaced it on tho table. 'Take one of these pellets, the I physician said, 'dissolved in water, . every 17 minutes alter-mit-ly. . 'How long mus I take eml' groaned the patient. 'Till you die," said the doctor.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate diseases, and hence the most dinlcuit to ret rid of. ' There ii but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and all the iDrays. washes and inhaling mixtures In the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it u the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg, Kj.t had Catarrh for years. He writes: "I eould aae no lmprorement wbaterer Bimifh Iwaa eonatanUy treated with aprayi a u Li wuun, iuu uiucr ent Inhaling remedies in faet.

Swift's Specific is a real blood remedy, .and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases, which other remedies have no effect "whatever upon. It promptly reaches Catarrh, ana never fails to cure even the most aggravated cases. a csa &Yw,,r is Purely Vegetable, ana is tne oniy blood remedy guaranteed to contain no dangerous minerals.
