MONEY ONE HUNDRED YEARS
AGO

One hundred years ago the students at
Harvard College paid their tuition with
live stock and provisions. The currency
of the Pilgrims was the first issue of paper
mony in this country. During the war
of Queen Anne paper currency was es-
tablished, known as Queen Anne; war
currency" which became worthless. In
1775 Virginia issued paper currency
previous to which the clergy were paid
in tobacco. In 1715, John Doleman es-
tablished bank in Massachusetts, with
land for capital, and began the issue of
loans. Other colonies followed, and the
amount of loans by the colonies finally
reached millions-which the mother coun-
try paid off at reduced rates, to saye the
credit of the colonies. 1872 Congress is
sued paper money to the amount of three
hundred thousand dollars, to be redeemed
iu coin in three years. The colonies, or
States, also issued paper money, and
soon the whole vdume of State and Ma
tional currency amounted to twelve mil
lion dollars. This currency was taken
without much question at first, and those
who refused it were stigmatized as unpa-
triotic, but in the following year it be-
gan to decline, and in 1880 it was
worth almost nothing. A barber shop IN
New York was nastered all over with
Continental money; and dogs were tarred,
stuck over with shinplasters, and let run
the streets for public amusement. To
Robert Morris is due the salvation of the
Revolutionary army He lent his private
fortune and credit to the Government;
and when his mmey was gone Washing
ton said he must raise more money to
carry out war Measure the perfection
of which only waited for the money.
Norris. therefore issued his own notes
for 81 100000. Washington gained the
battle of yorktown, &nd CORVALLIS sur
rendered. Ever! one of these Morris
notes were subsequently redeemed. In
1882 the bank Of North America was
established with a capital of $4,000.
This was the first bank of the National
Government The date of the first silver
coinage was 1894, and of the first gold
coinage 1894.

IGNORANCE IN SCHooL.-An examina-
tion of the younger children in the Bos-
ton public schools not long since revealed
some rather curious facts The examin-
alton was accidental. 1t was also quite
out of the usual line of school tests If
the questioEer had asked the children
something that was in their books they
doubtless would have answered brilliant
ly. Undoubtedly they would have told
him what participle was. But he asked
them about everyday things, and here
were the answers he got: Eighteen per
cent. of the young ones didn't know any
thing about cow, except from pictures;
81 per cent had never seen an ant, and
IS per cent had never seen corn grow
ing. Ninty per cent. of these children
educated in the public schools, which are
the glory of America, did not know where
their ribs were, or exactly what they
were When asked what and where
their stonlachs were, however, all but 6
per cent seemed to have something like
a correct idea They had had stomach
ache often enough to know that, bless the
little creatures!

It looks now as if we might have bank
established in Lake Mills before we write
1884 on our letters. A gentleman who
is anxious to engage in the business will
doubtless purchase lot soon and erect
thereon building suitable for bank pur-

The Center church was we'll filed yester-
day afternoon for missionary service upon
q warm day. The meeting was another of
the series being held by the New Haven
Board of City Missions with the churches OF
the different denominations of which its
membership is made up. It is expected that
within few weeks a meeting will be held
with one of the Methodist churches.
The opening exercises of scripture reading
and prayer we're conducted by Rev. DR..
Smyth, pastor of the church. After an an
them by the choir DR.. Smyth, who is the
vice president of the board, made state
ment in explanation of the missionary work
it has undertaken, saying also that he re-
GREETED the necessary absence of President
Porter, who had expected to be present as
announced, to speak in behalf of the Board.
He then called upon Mr.. S. T. Dutton, the
secretary of the mission board, who said that
the work in which they were engaged was
one that commended itself to all the churches
in that it was intended to build up all. In
stead of having any central place
for religious meetings with those over
whom influence had been obtained, they
were at once directed to the church to which
they naturally belonged. Ine WoEk was IA
most a silent work and not the half that was
being done was known or could be told. 1t
has been for the most part supported by the
subscriptions of individuals and while it was
desirable that these should be continued, it
was now hoped and expected that as result
of the information that was being given to
the churches, through the meetings now be-
ing held they by regular yearly collections
would make it possible to enlarge the work.
M n,kkor Toodo nlea for kindergarten
work for the lower classes
City Missionary Mossman made statement
of his valuable work and its needs and the
meeting was further addressed by Rev. DR..
Harwood, who made plea for earnest work
to save souls and thus bless our work.

Chfldren's Service in the NJ. z. Church.
Yesterday being children's Sunday the SER
vices in the M. E. church were very interest
ing. The pastor, Rev. B. F. Kidder, preached
sermon especially to the children in the
morning and it was an interesting one, too.
Near the pulpit it was one mass Of flowers
and ferns. very artistioally arranged. In the
evening the Sabbath school children held
their annual concert and they all acquitted
themselves admirably. MIR. B. B. Saw
age, the superintendent, was master
of ceremonies. Mr.. Edward Richards
ably presided at the organ. The exercises
were opened by singing by the school fol-
lowed by song by the infant class entitled,
stCome We Come" which was well done
showing that they had been successfully
trained. The Rotations of the infant class
were well done. We mention a few of the
names. Ida and Winnie Straton, Harry and
Ray Schofeld, aged four and six years re-
spectiveJy, sang "Come Away" in splendid
style. They fairly captivated the large audi.
ence. Their voices blended well together.
Also Harry Schofield singing, ''GiYe, o Give, "
was admirably rendered.
Ray Humphrey, Jessie Meacham May
Abbott and Sadie Eames are worthy of men
ton. The infant class sang eve Are Little
Travellers very sweetly. The responsive
readings by the superintendent and school
were very interesting. During the evening
several little girls went around among the
audience and collected quite sum of nickels
for the benefit of the cause. The exercises
were closed by the benediction by the pas
tor
