The new British coir, the double florin
or dollar, is believed to be the beginning
„ f o,l of the oh, pound, .hmin g .
pence and farthings division of British
money. Fora longtime tlic present pound
has been rogirded a; an inconvenient
unit . of . monetary value i ami . many schemes .
have been proposed to remedy the fault.
The London Uhuralier of Commerce luw
now under consideration n plan m iking
the four shilling piece the unit of value or
dollar, and dividing it into cents,
*
this plan nearly all the existing coins can
bo utilized without creating any confu¬
sion from having a double standard of
unit value in force. The sovereign would
liccotne five dollars, two shillings a half
dollar, one shilling twentv-five cents,
while the new coins would be ten and
five cents, the new penny two cent* and
the half-peuny one cent.
A Nagasaki (Japan) correspondent of
the St louU Globe-Democrat Bav.stli.it sava that a a
peasant woman near that city has crea¬
ted a stir in medical circles by pro¬
pounding a new theoiy and cure for
rheumatism. According to tier, rheu¬
matism is a growth of -mall paraxit. H
under the skin, a small insect that gnaws
and bites and causes the u at old misery
an«l all the twinge* of tint ailment.
These she claim* to lie able to sec under
the skin, and she removes them with a
little steel hook. She treated a skepti
cal sea captain who was completely laid
up with lame knees, and after foot b ath*
of bran aud hot rice brandy, took out
small white insects by the dozen. One
of them when brought out to the sur
face taco m«,lo made ns„r;n.r a sprm, •.«,) amt wn was « l,«t lost tn to aiirbf sight
( nc of the bystaauers fcit a stin^, and
the next day ha 1 a sore place on his arm.
and, cutting into it. it was found that
the rheumatism bug was there, burrow
ing like a tick. A deaf man was pc:
suaded to go to her after sitTering pain
in his ears, and she promptly took a
dozen or more parasites 1 from one ear.

well they may be.
The Signs of Drunkenness.
*Tlie symptoms of drunkenness, tie it
observed* are all paralytic, and are all
due to lo*s of nervous power and of
voluntary control. The flushing of the
face shows the paralysis of the small
blood vessels- soon the slipshod utter
mice shows the want of voluntary con
trol over some of the muscles of nrtieula
tion • the double vision indicates the loss
of ac omuiod itiii ,r power in the eve*
and ofcontro? the staggering gait shows that the
loss ha* extended to the larrer
muscles; lastly, the drunkard fall*
prostrate in a condition so closely re
semhling apoplcxv that the most ex
