The opera Singer and the Clergyman.

The Opera Singer and the Clergyman.
The late Karl Won Gerok, distin-
guished as poet and as q minister
of the gospel, was one day walking
down the middle of the street in
Stuttgart, the sphere of his pastoral
labors, carrying an umbrella by way
of precaution, while the well known
prima donna of the Stuttgart opera
troop was tripping along the side
walk, altogether unprepared for any
treacherous freak of the weather,
when suddenly Il rev drops of rain
began to fall, which were the pre-
lude to a heavy shower. Herr Won
Gerok FASTENED to offer the lady the
shelter OF his umbrella. Though en-
tire strangers to each other, they
soon engaged in friendly chat, and
after awhile the reverend gentleman
remarked:
May venture to ask your name?"
To which the child of the muses.
promptly replied;
1t is plain to see that you never
go to the opera. Everybody knows
that 1 am the leading singer at the
Court theater Now it is my turn
to ask to whom l am indebted for
the protection of an umbrella.
Your question clearly proves that
you never go to church, for all re-
ligious people know that l am the
chief pastor of this town. New

ODD FORMS or MONEY.
Straw Mats, Shells and Other Primitive
Mediums of Exchange.

straw MATS smells ana Other Primitive
Mediums of Exchange.
In the Portuguese possessions of
Angola before the year 1894 the cir
culGting medium consisted of small
mats woven from a species of straw
| and which the natives called libon-
gos. Each libongo represented
value of 5 refs. The substitution of
copper coin for this curious straw
money came near bringing about q
revolution and was the cause of the
death of many. AS a medium of
trade among the aborigines of Cali
fornia sea ears or abalones (halio-
tides) have been highly esteemed
both for their beauty and for their
Importance when used as shell mon
ey, the shells in the latter case being
cut into strips of from one to two
inches in length, according to the
curvature of the shell, and about
third as wide as long. These
were strung on string and used
both as money and ornaments. The
string bore the name of uhl-o, or
aulone. AS an illustration of the
purchasing power of an abalone, it
may be stated that in New Mexico
horse has been traded for a single
shell.
From the reign of Henry down
to the period of the establishment of
the Bank of England the legal ten
der money of England was fabricat-
ed out of wood This instrument
was called an exchange tally, and by
virtue of it the holder was entitled
to receive from the crown the value
prescribed thereon. 1t really con-
sisted of one-half of four sided rod
or staff, on which, when in its entire
state, the sum it purported to repre-
sent was carved in transverse
notches, varying in width for thou
sands, hundreds, scores, pounds,
shillings and pence. Those signs
were for the unlearned. For the
advantage of those who could read
the sum was written in ink on two
opposite sides of the staff, and final
ly with q knife and mallet the staff
itself was split in two longitudinal
ly. One half, called the tally, or
check, was given to the person for
whose service it was intended; the
other half, called the counter tally,
was laid up for safe keeping until
its corresponding tally should be
brought in by the person who had
last given value for it. It's intrinsic
value was of course only that of the
wood of which it was composed,
but by representation it denoted
large sums. 1t was current token
of real money and served actually
to distribute it from man to man by
this exchange. From this primitive
tally was derived the exchequer bill,
first introduced in 1896 by Mr.. Mon
! tague, the chancellor of the ,ex-
chequer. The word chill, " too, was
no doubt derived from the old
French bile, which, means q staff.
Bank post bills and bills of exchange
in our own day como from the Same
wooden base, and soldiers in Eng
land are still said to be billeted,
because formerly they rendered
wooden "billes," or tallies, to the
victualers upon whom they were
quartered. In olden times officers
of the army who were taken into the
kings own pay were said to be put
on the staff-that is, they were paid
with the exchequer tallies, or wood
en- money.-London Public Opinion.
