where Abraham purchased a field as
a sepulchrc for Sarah, In the wear
1860 B. G. Homer speaks Of brass
money as existing 1884 B. G. The
invention of coin is ascribed 20 the
Lydians. Their money consisted of
gold and silver. Iron money was
used in Sparta, and iron and tin i'm

place his image on the Roman coins.
Earlier they had placed the image
of their deities ON their coins. The
Romans called their silver mORcf0,
because il was coined in the temple
Of Juno MOneta, 2G0 B. G.. Money
has been made Of different materi-
ais, and even of leather. IL was
made Of pasteboard by the Holland
ers as late as 1874. The North
American Indians, In early times,
used shells strung together, which
they called wampum. Coins were
made In many different shapes.
English coins werc partly square,
OblOng and round, until the Middle
Ages, since when round coins have
only been used. The names Of many
obsolete pieces are met with In
Shakespeare and some other English
authors, such as the angel, angelOt,
noble, guinea, etc. The first silver
coin struck in England was the an
cient silver penny. 10 was struck
with a cross so deeply indentci that
It might be easily parted into two
for halfpence, and into four for far
things.

TIE late John Fanner, whose
father was Il bill-poster, and who
had occasionally practiced in the
same humble hereditary occupation
himself, being one evening strutting
in the green room with Il pair of
glittering buckles, a gentleman who
was present remarked that they re-
ally resembled diamonds. "Sir,"
said the actor with warmth, 81
would have you know / never wear
anything except diamonds ~ 81

tleman, 81 remember the time when

This produced a good laugh, which
was heightened by Bannister's jog
ging him on the shoulder, and dryly
saying, "Hang me, Jack, why don't
you stick him against the wall?"
