tach to the priority of certain
other inventions claimed by
the Chinese, it is impossible TO
deny that they were acquainted with
the art of printing many centuries
before the days of Guttenburg.
According to native records, the art
of printing was in use in China in 593
A. D., but it does not appear to have
been employed in the preparation of
bank notes until the ninth century.
From that date notes were periodi-
cally issued until the middle of the
century, when the practice
fell into disuse, and was only revived
about forty or fifty years ago.

His father finally died, his mother
shortly followed and he was left an
orphan. He WIS sent TO the aims
house at Suffield and remained there
until he wss Is years of age, when a
gentleman named VIM. s. Pomeroy
took him out and kept him for FIVE
years. Harding was Is years
old when his benefactor, placed
$50 in the bank TO be given
him when he arrived at the age of 81
years. At the same time that the
money was placed in the bank, Mr..
Pomeroy gave him the privilege of
travelling some. He went to Virginia
and several other states.
After year spent in travelling, he
returned to his adopted home and en-
gagged hims If to work with a farmer.
He worked around on several farms,
until be became of age. He
showed signs of mental arrangement
and was once taken by the se'ect men
and placed in CONTINENT until he
