WOODEN MONEY.
Notched Sticks Used Before the Bank
of England Was Established.


Wooden money, in the shape OF exchequer
ialles, was. prior to the establishment of the
Bank of England, In 1894, current in the
country named. Taies was the name given
TO the notched sticks formerly in use in Eng
land for keeping the accounts Ia the ex-
chequer. They are described as square rods Of
hazel or willow. inscribed on one side wit h
notches indicating the sum for which the tally
was an acknowledgment, and on TWO other
sides with the same sum In Roman
Characters. When the transaction was
completed, the tally recording 1t was
split engIhwise, so that each section contained
half OF each notch and one OF the written
sides. One-nalf. called The tally or check was
given to the person for whose service IL was in
tended; The other half, called the counter tally
should be brought in by the person who lad
last given value for 1t. IL thus became u cur
rent token representing cash. After the estab-
llsbment of the Bank OF England Government
payments were made through its agency. The
use Of TALES in the eXcheQuer was aboi> shed by
Statute %, George III. The old talles were
by acts and 5, William ~. ordered to be de-
stroyed. and IT. was The burning of them that
caused The confagratton by which the old
houses Of Pa lament were demolished.

POPWEED BALLS.
Blown Into Heaps by Winds, They
Affsrd Shelter to Cattle in Winter.

New York Comm ercial Advertiser.
There's famous product of the prairies OF
the Dakotas which is known as the popweed.
1t Is Of rank growth, but little less than marvel
Gus In its way. 1t has stalk like the cabbage
plant, with large. round top The size of a
Hubbard squash and about the same color
There are thousands OF acres OF 1t OIL the Indian
reservations. In the vicinity of alkal beds IL
grows TO prodigious size. When the terrific
northwest winds blow lie in the fall the pop
balls become detached from the stalk and roll for
miles over the prairies untr they reach uneven
country or other distractions where they ac-
cumulate and pile up like high houses of snow.
Behind these banks OF weeds The wild buffalo
found shelter in m dwnler from the fierce biz
yards. If the pOpweed hail comes fOrclbly in
contact with any hard object while rolling IL
exDlodes with tremendous report, a cloud Of
fine powder passes on through the air, ana
thousands OF sharp, fine needles are thrown
out in every directions. These needles are tn
seeds OF the pODweed ana are what produces
the mischief with stuck, for they are very peDe
trating. "crtter' viii run from rolling
pop weed like jacE rabbit from Il COYOTE.
The Indians tell strange and interesting
stories of The weed. 1t is SAID That the young
braves of Tile tribe for discipline ana to pre-
pare themselves TO endure great torture, W uld
