China. The money of China is in a very chaotic condition. The only coin which has any real intrinsic worth is the tael or liang, and even this varies in value in different parts of the country. It is the monetary unit and is of silver. The other coins in use are the 10 cash or 11, 1 candareen, 10 candareens or fun, or fen, 1 mace and 10 mace or tsien.

The following table shows the value, in gold, of the taels in use throughout the country:

*The "British dollar," which has the same legal value as the Mexican dollar in Hong Kong.

Paraguay. Paraguay has no gold or silver coins of its own stamping. The silver peso of other South American republics circulates there, and has the same value as in the countries that issue it.

Philippine Islands.-By an act of the Fifty-seventh Congress, the coins of the Philippines are to be of silver, ranging from 10 cents to 50 cents in value, and of copper, ranging from one-half cent to five cents in value. Prior to this the coins in use were the old Spanish moneys, almost entirely of silver, and Mexican dollars.

Siam. The moneys of Siam are as follows: Eight hundred cowries equal 1 fuang; 2 fuango, 1 salung: 4 salungo, 1 bat or tical; 4 bats, 1 tambling; 20 tambling, 1 chang; 50 chang, 1 hap, and 100 hap, 1 tara. Cowries (also called bia in Siam) are the well-known shells used in many parts of Asia and Africa as a medium of exchange for small values. In Siam about 219 or 220 are reckoned equal to 2 cents. The bat or tical is rated at 60 cents. Small pewter and copper coins have of late been introduced as a substitute for the cowrie shell. The pewter coins are called lot and at: they are small flat bits of pewter; 2 lots equal 1 at. The copper coin 2 ats, and about the same size as the English halfpenny, only a little thicker, is called song peis. Two song peis equal 1 fuang: 2 fuango equal 1 salung: 4 salungo equal 1 bat or tical. The fuang and salung are flat pieces of silver. They represent simply a certain weight of the metal. It is the same with the bat.

NOTES. (a) The valuations given in this table are in United States gold coin, for the gold coins only. Other coins are compared with silver, in United States silver dollar. (b) While the Argentine Republic is considered a double standard country it has in reality the gold standard, the law of 1881 restricting the coinage and use of silver as legal tender. (c) The actual currency of Haiti is an irredeemable paper. The metallic gourdes rarely ever circulate. (d) Mexico, while a bimetallic country, is practically a monometalHst one, as silver is almost entirely used. (e) The valuation of the kran is in gold.

*More frequently called "kin."

American Women Who Have Married Citles.

By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER.

'The number of American women who have married into the noble families of the Old World may be enumerated by hundreds, one of them, indeed, Miss Alice Heine, of New Orleans, La., having actually secured a seat upon a European throne by becoming the full fledged consort of the now reigning Prince of Monaco, from whom she is, however, now legally separated. Miss Lee, of Brooklyn, now Countess Waldersee, is the widow of a royal prince, Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein, the uncle of the present Emperor of Germany, while Miss Elsie Hensler, of Boston, was recognized as the morganatic wife of Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, when he was King of Portugal. Miss Patterson, of Baltimore, was legally the wife of Prince Jerome Bonaparte before he was King of Westphalia. Miss Hamel, of New York, married a royal personage, Prince Louis of Bourbon, and Prince Yturbide, the husband of Miss Green, of Georgetown, was the adopted son of the late Emperor Maximilian of Mexico.
