London, July 30.-- The Times says Underwriters did a large amount of insurance against war risks. The in quiries niade were many Aime in ex- cess of the previgus day. There were reports of many exceptional rates be- ing paid, but inquiries in well infor- med circles showed that in many cases the same rates that ruled on Monday were being paid. These were: Fifteen guineas per cent, against any of the four powers, Great Britain, France, Germany, or Russia, being involved in war within the next six months. Twenty guineas for six powers, Austria and Italy in addition to the above, for three months, and the same rate for three months, cov aring eight powers, the additions be- ing Japan and the United States. "Later in the day, on the receipt of grayer news, the rates stiffened wd ranged from those quoted to per cent, higher in each case. "To cover a cargo to East Austra- lla and New Zealand, via Suez, §. shillings per cent. is charged for any nationality except Russian and Aus trian For wool and produce from Aus- tralia and New Zealand the rate was 5 shillings per cent. for Britain ves- sels, and 10 shillings for others, ex- cept Austrian and Russian. From India to home rate was the same as for Australia. "For produeé from Russian Baltic ports by British steamers to the Un- ited Kingdom the rate of 10 shillings per cont. was quoted. OF particular interest was the fact that specie and coin shipped on Ge» man liners for Hamburg from the United States, were covered at the rate of 5 shillings per cent The usual rate in connection with the latter is about 1 shilling per cent." daiser Extdes Prince. Berlin, July 30.--Kaiser Wilhelm is taking no chances with the crown prince in the crisis which all Europe faces. While the powers are endeavoring Lo avert a war which may plunge the entire continent into conflict, Fred- erick Wilhelm will pldy tennis at Zoppot, a seaside resort, seven miles from Danzig. The heir to the German throne (o- day received orders to remain ai Zoppot. He has been playing ten- nis there and continued recreation on the courts is what his royal fath- er desires for him until the present crisis is passed. The order issued by the Kaiser is taken as an indica- tion of fear on the part of the war lord and his advisers that the crown prince might be carried away by war fever and commit some indiseretion in Berlin that would fo place Ger- many as to make a conflict certain. If this is not the reason for the ex- ile of the erown prince to the tennis courts, then the Germans believe he is being punished for his recent pub lic indorsement of the warlike book "Germany's hour of fate." France's War Strength. Paris, July 30.--In the event a European war France would be ab le to put about 800.000 men into the field igamediately For some time past there have been huge concentrations of troops at Verdun, Toul, Epinal and Belfort, the first trongholds forming the advance line along the German frontier, and the garrisons on the second line, such as Mauburge, La Fere, Rheims, Langres and so forth also contain large bodies of men rea dy to be moved forward at a mo ment's notice, Although a large number of (he men, now with the colors are not vet thoroughly trained seldiers, t hey nev ertheless have enough milits ry ex perience to form valuable fighting material Should it become neces sary lo utilize the field army, the total strength would be about 1,300, 000 There are 31 army corps, he sides J6 complete reserved divisions and some reserved cavalry Though the French army is nom nally inferior to Germany, military experience, considered with the great lighting value of the French unit. compensate for that disadvantage. ol class "AWAY FROM MAN" SOCIETY | RY | German Women, Mostly Spinisters, | Organize Association, Berlin, July 30 The German ha: 4 percect mania for forming and join Ing new social organizations. The la- test effort in this line is reported from Strasburg, in West Prussia, where a number of women have or ganized an association which they have christened Los yom Mann (a way from man).

TEACHERS ENTERTAINED Earl And Countess Grey. Receives! Visitors. London, July 30 Earl and Lady Gréy acted as host and hostess at a reception given to the visiting Cana dian teachers by the Royal Colonial Institute Earl Grey, in an addres: which emphasized the teacher's op portunity for inculcating empire deals, declared that he could hones tly say that there had been no hap pier years of his life than those spent a8 governor-general of the dominion. He referred with great appreciation to Sir George Foster's volume. Can adian Addresses," as being worthy of perusal by every teacher throughout the: empire. He hoped that the Eng- lish, Scotch and Irish teachers woulu reciprocate the efforts of the Cana- dians by seeking personal contact With the overseas dominions so ar to learn something of the empire. Dr. Parkin, director of the Rhodes Scholarship Trust, and Mrs. Colgu- hotin also spoke in the same vein. : F. J. Ney, responding, referred to the previous day's visit to Alders: where a Methodist clergyman in the party was so impressed as to declare his readiness to fight for his country whenever he was needed.

Yens, Sens and Rinse Complete Their Simple Currency System, The Japauvese currency system fis very simple and is based upon a gold basis. The unit of value is a yen. This equals 50 cents in gold, according to our United States values. One yen is divided into 100 sen. Each of the latter is worth just ene half of an American cent. The Japanese is the equivalent of 10 rin, and the Small est Japanese coin consists of a rin piece, the equivalent of one-quarter of an American penny. The currency media is composed of paper notes, siiver, nickel and 3 The Japs have their paper momey in one, five, ten yen notes and upward The silver money comes in ten, twenty and fifty sen pieces. The smallest nickel piece is valued at 5 sen. Then come the copper coins, These are val- ued at 2 sen, 1 sen and 5 rin. This is the substance of the entire currency system in Japan when you step into a money changer"s to procure the coin of the realm. But you do not always obtain the equivalent in values for your American currency. The va. rious seaport towns swarm with Chi- nese money changers. These lian financiers deduct a rebate of ffom 1 to 2 per cent for every $10 in Ameri- can money exchanged. When yon travel in the interior localities of Ja- pan, away from the beaten frack of tourist traffic, you will be compelled to pay even a higher rate of exchange, as the Jap merchants refuse to accept for eign coin in exchange for their wares unless they are easily accessible to some nearby seaport town. The Jap nickel, or five sen piece, will buy five or six times as much for a Jap in his own country asthe same value of currency would buy for an Ameri. can home in the United States. The simplicity of the native currency sys- tem goes hand in hand with the frugal. ity and the wise economies of these quaint, active little people.--Philadel- phia North American. ~ HER MISSING NECKLACE. Baint-Hilaire Finally Awoke and Re- stored It to His Wife. The innocent ignorance of much en- grossed men of science as to ordinary ] matters is illustrated by an amusing | anecdote of Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire the : younger. Saint-Hilaire was accustomed to bury himself In his laboratory, where he did not allow the affairs of his housebold to disturb him, and Mme. Saint-Hilaire was careful to guard him against all worry of domestic matters. In his laboratory he was accustomed, being a naturalist, to have various strange animals, after the fashion of besettl, Of these a monkey was his favorite. His wife a neck- lace of diamonds, of which she was naturally proud. One day this neck- lace was . Madame was in de- spair and had the house searched, with the exception of Saint-Hilaire's room. She knew his dislike of being dis turbed, and moreover she bad mot en- tered this room for a long time, so that she could not have left the diamonds there. . A few days later at one of Mme. Saint-Hilaire's "at homes" her hus- band appeared, and a woman among the guests who supposed he knew of the disappearance of the diamonds asked him if they had been found. "What diamonds?" he asked. He called his wife and questioned her. "What sort of a looking thing was this that you have lost?" She described the diamond necklace. "Ah," said the zoologist, "for several days my baboon has had in his posses. sion, generally worn about his neck, # gjmilar thing to that described." "But why did you not tell me?" his wife exclaimed in indignation. "Why," answered Saint-Hilaive, "I supposed that it belonged to him. He seemed to be very fond and proud of n> . ---- Law of Falling Bodies. A falling body having fallen during one exact second falls 16.1 feat.

He Fooled Them. Mrs. Odell had a caller one after noon and invited her to remain te dinner. The invitation was accepted, | and the hostess said: { "I am so glad you can stay, Mra, Parker.

When the cakes were served at din- ner that evening Mr. Odell exclaimed: "My dear Maude, you are certainly becoming a perfect cook. These cakes are as fine a8 my mother makes." { Brides and Wet Weather. A Breton bride rather likes to have a wet wedding. It is held to signify that all her tears are now | shed and that she will therefore have a happy married life. The Ezra of Simbirsk call the day before the wedding the weeping day, and the bride and her girl friends weep all they can, with the idea, it would seem, of getting the mourning of life over so that only joy may remain. The Badagas of the Neilgherries attain the same end by sousing the bride with wate... Some Greek tribes have a similar belief in the virtue of a drenching bringing good fortune.--London Globe.
