One On The Princess

A good story of the late Princesa Alice has come out on the occasion of the striking of a niedal for the fishermen at üshant. She once visited the mint unexpectedly at a time when some medals were being made for uoncommissioned offlcers of the arruy. While she was being shown through the building, the officials thought it would be a neat thing to stamp her name and the date on one of the medals and present it to her. She accepted the gift and then burst out laughing. The inscription reads, "For long service and good conduct. " The first paper money used in this country was issned by Pennsylvania in 1723. In the early part of that year L10,000 was issued on the credit of the colony, and a few months later L30,000 more followed.
