A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
Tfc Creiallty mt Mra urn. Gaaael
f the Pauraaltea.
The credulity of a multitude of more
or less thrifty people, who, in their
mania for money, are ready to believe
that they can amass fortunes over
night, makes them the easy prey of a
swarm of parasites who infest the
financial -districts. The gospel of the
parasites who build air castles for their
victims and real castles for themselves
Is terse:
"A fool Is born every minute."
"A fool and his money are soon
parted.
Posing as bankers and brokers, the
financial parasites scour the country
for the fools and then exercise their
nimble wits In devising schemes to ac
complish the partition. How many
millions of dollars are parted from the
fools every .year may be conjectured
from the millions of dollars spent by
the pseudo-financiers In advertising.
The bulk of the financial advertising
In the leading newspapers of the coun
try Is Intended for the fools. Another
Index of the richness of the harvest of
parting money from the fools is the
occasional exposure of some particu
larly glaring and bungled Imposture,
when the calculable "swag runs Into
the hundreds of thousands, If not Into
millions. But these frauds are seldom
exposed, for the victims are usually as
anxious as the victimisera to escape
the limelight -of publicity. Most men
prefer to lose tbir money rather than
hear their neighbors quote from the
parasites' gospel, "A fool and his
money are soon parted." Success.

We all know that a place
metal Is coined Is called a mint; but
why? Is it not a strikingly curious
fact that the two words mint and mon
ey are made from the same Latin
word? Yet It is not more so than
many other facts disclosed In the study
of etymology. There Is very com
monly a close connection between the
history of events and the making of
the words most prominent In the rec
ord of that history. Mint Is the name
of a place for making coins simply be
cause when the need of such a name
was first recognized the place need for
their making happened to be the Ro
man temple of the goddess Juno,
of whose surnames was Moneta,
to mean literally "adviser.' In
Saxon the word had two syllables
mynet which show its origin mors
clearly than the monosyllable mint
does. Money Is called moneta In Ital
ian and monnale In French, and the
French name for a mint Is "hotel dan
monnaies."

THE OLDEST MEMORIAL OF HUMAN
ACTION IN ENGLAND.

There raps from Winchester to Can
mrbury a prehistoric track which is
nrebably the oldest memorial of men'a
action la England. It Is certainly old
er than the Romans that is, it Is cer
tainly &008 years old, and how much
Mar It may be than that we have no
way of telling, but we do know that
Winchester and Canterbury must have
been the two great centers of the na
tional life in the old barbarian times
before the Romans came, and we may
suppose without too much
that this road Is almost co
eval with the existence of organised
haman life la Great Britain.
Two yearn ago I explored this road
thorongaly. The whole distance la
about 130 adles, and of that on amy
any that antlqnarians had discovered.
r friends nnd I understood Its
exploration, about three-qnar-
Of the remaining quarter aoats
fart was doubtful and the rest un
known, bat this unknown part did not
autka ana continuous stretch. It was
pieced In. as It were, along the length
of the way. bit here and a bit there.
Than one would have ten or fifteen
aaOes along which the old British road
I si i asp (null il with the modern high
way; thee would come perhaps two
miles of doubtful lane, the history .of
which had to be read and the direction
noted before one could be certain that
It was really part of the old road; then
nfter that would come, say, half a mile
of pare waste heath or marsh or for
est 1 which nothing but a most care
ful examination, the records of old
aaana, the evidence of place names, and
aa forth, helped one to Identify the
track of the British way; then the
highway would appear again, coincid
ing with the eld tralL and so forth,
long known or obvious bits coaling In
between abort doubtful or unknown
Wts, 'until after Infinite pains we built
up the whole of the original track with
the doubtful exception of n few bun-
It amy Interest any readers to know
what caasea ehlefy preserved this
read and what have tended to Its obUt-
The ceases which preserved it
three. In the nrst place. It ran for the
main part along the chalk hills which
are known ns the North downs, Jart
above the level of cultivation, aal
chalk Is aa excellent preservative for
a road of this Kind. It takes the Im
pression of passing traffic, the weight
of which makes a sort of platform
along the hillside. It la not easy to
cultivate, and people do not build upon
Its heights. .Moreover, chalk does not
wash away, so that such n road, once
forssed, would remain for centuries.
The second cause which preserved
the road waa the system of turnpike
which was Introduced, I think, sbout
200 years ago and lasted until our own
time. Men naturally tried to avoid the
turnpike If they were on horseback or
if they were drovers, and they would
turn off the good turnpike roads of the
valley, where they had to pay at every
gate, and go along the old free road
above the hills.
And, thirdly, the pilgrimage to the
temb of St Tbomaa at Canterbury,
which sprang up about 700 years ago,
powerfully helped the survival of the
road. Winchester was beginning to
fall Into decay when tills pilgrimage
arose, and Canterbury was no longer
a very important town, but when thou
sands of men had occasion to go from
the west of England to Canterbury on
a pilgrimage Winchester became the
natural meeting place, and the road
from Winchester to Canterbury once
again grew In importance. Churches
and villages sprang up along it, tradi
tions nnd legends began to cling to It,
nnd one way and another the memory
of It waa saved for. history and for
ourselves.
I have said that there were many
places where tbt road waa almost or
entirely lost The mala cause of this
cultivation. As the population
denser it became necessary to
plow up the poorer land high up on
the hillside, aad as these old roads
not metaled la any way the
t their surface was plowed up
no trace of the road could possibly re
aesJn. Another cause waa the forma
tioa of the great parks which rich men
began to inclose and to wall around
about ISO years sgo and later. If n
rich man took n fancy to a bit of
ground which used to be common nnd
through which the old road went he
would put a wall round it and turn it
hits n pnrk and divert the right of
way by a special set of parliament
round hia new property. There are
examples of this sll along the old road
