Early Forms of Metal Money.

The first forms which coald b. called by the
name of money, says the Popular Science
Monthly, were ingots in various shapes,
stamped or sealed with the seal of the ruler, as
a certificate of the quality and weight of the
piece, no attempt being made so to fashion the
coin as to guard against alterations of weight.
Some Of the early pieces were stamped on but
one side, and it was only by very gradual steps
that the handsome circular pieces which we
know as coins were evolved. But these are
still defined by Jevons as ingots, Of which the
weight and fiueness are certified by the integ-
rity of the designs impressed upon the surface
of the metal. The stamping of the bits Of
metal has always been assumed as prerogs-
tive of the ruler, and to supply the people with
coin has come to be generally considered a
function of the Government. 1t will be well to
bear the above definition of coin in mind; for
the fashioning, stamping aud certifcation have
often caused very important fact to be lost
sight Of, which is, that throughout these
changes the metals continue to be commodities
aud nothing more. The stamp works no alter.
alton in the metal, any more than does the
label on q bolt of muslin, showing the width
and the number of yards, convert it into some.
thing other than cotton cloth. The conversion
of the unfashloned metal into coin in no way
affect, the principle Of exchanges, and its
transfer is barter just as much as it was in the
beginning.

About Jupiter.

Jupiter, the bright star seen in the Southern
sky, is thiltesn hundred times larger than our
little earth, and if you don't believe it 60 meas
ure for yourself. Yeull believe even George
Alfred Townsend when you get back. Jupiter
has four moons and consequently coon hunting
is good the year round. Its days and nights
are only five hours long, and member Of the
Common Council has to be mighty careful or
his trip to the club will stick over into the
next day. A great many young Jupterians go
insane every year, because just as they get
nics ly to sitting up with their girls her mother
calls them to breakfast. There hasn't been a
night on Jupiter in two million years long
enough to propose to girl in, and some of the
young fellows get the bulge on nature by dark
ening the windows and holding an executive
session right through for a day or two. The
Labor Reform party on Jupiter are IN hopes OF
getting law through the next Legislature
making three hours days WORK. The short
DAYS are rather inconvenient for some things,
as o man has to sit up all night in order to take
his pills regularly once in tour hours.-Bridg-

THAT is neat form of government framed
Tor Eastern Roumelia by the European COM
mission. The Roumelans had nothing to
say about it to be sure, but probably couldn't
have improved matters much had they been
consulted. Citizens, without distinction OF
race or creed, are to enjoy equal rights, and
taxes are to be levied equally on property &C
cordiLg to law. Religious freedom and
freedom Of migration are established.
Individual liberty is guaranteed, and
the house of every inhabitant is inviolable.
No work or industry, unless immoral, is pro-
hibited. Liberty of the press is established
as well as the right of peaceable assem- blage
and petition.

TEEY do not take jokes easily in the Mas
sachusetts city OF Springfield. A minister
ecturing there the other evening said that
where Sunday Afternoon was so secular he
could feel justified in treating of secular
topic on Sunday evening. This mild jest con-
cerning Springfield monthly magazine was
lost; the speaker was reported as saying: "a
city which will tolerate as much secularity on
aSunday afternoon as have seen here to-day
will surely not object to my being secular this
evening"" and the conscience-stricken people
thought he was referring to the sleigh-riding
that had been going on during the day.
