metals-gold, silver, copper or iron-began to
be used for payment, they were at first simply
weighed Englishmen still speak of pound
instead of a sovereign The next step was to
issue pieces of gold and silver properly
weighed, and then to mark the exact weight
and value on each piece.
This was done in Assyria and Babylonia
where we find shekels or pounds of gold and
silver. The commerce of the eastern ma
tions was carried on for centuries by means
of these weights of metal Itwas the Greeks,
the Greeks of Phocea in Ionia, who in the
Seventh century B. C. first conceived the
idea of coming money, that is of stamping
on each piece their city arms, the phoca or
seal, thus giving tie warranty of their state
for the right weight and value of those
pieces. From Phocaea this art Of coming
spread rapidly to the other Greek towns of
Asia Minor, and was thence transplanted to
4Egina, the Peleponnesus, Athens, and the
Greek colonies in Africa and in Italy.
The weight of the most ancient gold coin in
all these countries was originally the same as
that of the ancient Babylonian gold shekel,
only stamped with the arms of each country,
which thus made itself responsible for its
proper weight. And this gold shekel or
pound, in spite of historical disturbances, has
held its own through centuries. The gold
coins of Croesus, Darius, Philip and Alexander
have all about the same weight as the old Baby
lonian gold shekel, GO of them going to nina
of gold; and, what is stranger still, a sover-
eign, or pound, or shekel, has nearly the same
weight, 60 of them going to an old Babylo-
MAN nina of gold. In ancient times 20 silver
drachmas or half shekels went to a gold
shekel, Just as in England % silver shillings
are equivalent to sovereign This ancient
shilling was again subdivided into GO copper
coins, GO being thefavorite Babylonian figure.
Knowing, therefore, the relative monetary
value of a gold and silver shekel or half
shekel, knowing how many silver shelels the
ancient nations had to give for one gold
shekel, it was possible by merely weighing
the ancient coins to find out whether there
was then already any fixed ratio between
gold and silver Thousands of ancient coins
have thus been tested, and the result has
been to show that the ratio between gold and
silver was fixed from the earliest times with
the most exact accuracy. That ratio, as DR..
Brugsch has shown, was one to twelve and a
half in Egypt; it was, as proved by DR..
Brands, one to thirteen and one-third in
Babylonia and in all countries which adopted
the Babylonian standard.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
For the Entertainment Of Our
Boys and Girls.
AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
A True Story of the Industry of Colony of
Esthetic Wasps and Their
Queer House.

What keen eyes they havel these busy little
workers, flying hither and thither, over hill
and valley, in the early spring days. House
hunting, that is what they are doing. In at
your window, under the caves of the barn,
getting in the most inconceivable and, some
times, uuwelcome places. Nothing is beneath
their notice; no, not even an old, discarded
curtain tassel, as friend tells me who has
seen the tassel
Perhaps it was once one of the much
priced treasures of some small girl, rambling
through the loose hay, with her arms so full
of toys that the treasure dropped and was
lost forever to its owner.
There it lay, unseen, until one day busy
wasp came buzzing around the barn yard,
and, being wasp Of high aesthetic taste, this
odd looking, pretty colored object in the
long grass attracted its attention and gave it
most brilliant idea.
First taking peep in at the top, it disap-
peared from view, only to reappear at the
other end; then, the inspection revealing all
chat its cultivated taste demanded, flying off
with a satisfied buzz to return with a whole
colony of its fellow workers, ready to begin
on the new home.

eff You Please"

We've just heard Of an island far away,
Across the rosy sunset seas,
Where Wen send to stay, for year and day,
The folks who forget to say Please"
Wen pack them OF, the i'll and the hale,
In a well manned ship together,
And we'n hoist the sail on the date without fail,
Quite regardless Of the weather.
And when they come back they'll be so polite,
THEY'LL say 'how-d'ye-do" on their knees.
Won't it be a delight to behold such sigft.
And to hear them in chorus cry ''PleaSe?'

Whit q Goose.

In the distant azure sky
A flock of geese 80 sailing by,
When in their midst appears bird,
The like of which they've never heard.
IAN enemy the leader cries,
And at the fancied monster flies.
All the geese that follow after
Now are bubb!ing DER with laughter.
Right through the foe the gander flies,
Exhibiting a marked surprise
For all that caused this sad alright
Was Just our Teddy's new spring kite!
