HANDMADE NAILS money articles
that may perhaps belong to this stage
are cotton cloth, straw hats, cubes Of
salt, tea, beeswax, knives and silk cloth.
1t was probably in this stage that the
precious metals began to be measured
and weighed more accurately and to be
cast into standard forms.
Commercial Stage.
l. INTERNAL TRADE. When men be.
gan to live in cities, to have regular
markets where products were exchanged
and to have shopkeepers' or merchants
and professional traders, there was
great need Of a more exact and scientific
money such as could be supplied only
by the metals. These began to be cast
or stamped into regular forms, sizes or
weights. Bronze bars and stamped
bronze pieces were used in Greece and
Italy. The bronze piece here represented
shows the evolution from cattle money

HISTORY OF MONEY.
tHOWING KINDS OF MONEY USED IN
DIFFERENT STAGES OF CIVIL
ZATION.

Gradual Evolution From Skins, hooks.
Shells, ETC., In Hunting Stage to Silver
and Gold In Present Commercial Stage.
Cows and Sheep as Units Of value-De-
monetization Of Tobacco, Skins, Bronze,
Etc. and why Neoessary-Gold and Sill

A study of the growth of money may
be useful just now in order to give a
more definite idea of exactly what
money is and to learn why certain arti-
Giles or substances have been discarded
and others retained. The natural and
general tendencies we'll understood, we
have only to judge Of the future by past
experience to predict what will and
what will not be the principal money
metal of the near future.
Hunting and Fishing Stage.
The kind of money in use in any
country indicates the degree of civil
lization attained. Man probably first be-
came trading animal in the hunting
and fishing stage Weapons of war and
the chase, together with skins and furs,
were then the most important kinds Of
property. Hence we find that the more
useful, stable and portable of these
articles were first used as money and
are so used today in barbarous countries.

unit of value when our forefathers

A Marr iage Wager.

A man recently in New York laid
a wager that he would WOO, win,
and marry a young lady whom, with
his companions he had just seen ar
irving at the hotel where he was liv-
ing within an hour. There is nothing
in the American marriage law to
prevent this dispatch. He intro
duced himself to the dam sci, she
smiled upon his suit, and a minis
ter was called in, and they were
married within an hour. The wager,
of no inconsiderable amount, was
handed over to the bridegroom, who
left with his bride the following day.
It was shortly afterwards discovered
that the couple had long been man
and wife, and that they had been
travelling about playing the same
trick at various hotels.

A farmer OF this section wrote to the

STATE COLLEGE, Centre Co., Pa.
June 90, 1895.
DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 10Th is at hand.
The apple twig blight which is probably
the trouble with your trees, is more or less
prevalent every year. 1 have noticed 1t
here this season, but only on occasional
trees 1t Is much like the blight of the
pear, and like 1t caused by minute bacteria,
but differs from 1t very materially In that
short tips only are affected, and not the
larger branches or the trunk. Hence a
tree may not only survive the attacks but
may develop its,fruit without much loss. A
similar affection Is much more severe on
the ounce where large branches are in
volved and many more of them, so that the
trees often look as though scorched by a
good yearly growth and develop q fair
quantity of fruit Theoretically spraying
with Bordeaux mixture should be of some
during this time of the year think II
find that your trees are only temporarily
| injured, but shall be glad to look the mat
ter over again If find my prophecy incor-
rect. Very truly yours,
w. A. BUCRHOUT.

The Rights of the Board of Health.


Judge Albright, of Lehigh county
has just decided that when a Board
of Health confines or isolates fam
lily wherein,a contagious disease ex-
lists, the municipality is responsible
and must supply the quartered fam
lily and pay for the provisions. The
board having the police power dele
gated by the State, it has an un e
doubted right to isolate and confine
persons because of the existence of
contagious diseases. Humanity and
preservation of life are the basis of
such right. The same grounds for
bid that those who for the benefit of
their neighbors are detained in their
dwellings and prevented from pro-
curing food and other things neces-
sary to sustain life shall be per
mitted to famish.
''It can be laid down as a rule that,
in this age and in this land, the
right to confine O human being i'm
poses the duty of supplying him
with necessary food while deprived
of his liberty. There being no ex-
press power to pay claim of this
nature, it was the part of prudence
of the city authorities to decline
to approve an expenditure of this
kind. It was a proper case to sub
NIT for judicial decision"

Explosion at Sea.

MADRID, Sept. 6.-An explosion,
heard off the coast near the town of
Muros, in the province Of Corrunna,
during the night, is the cause of much
excitement and speculation among the
inhabitants. 1t seems evident that a
disaster has occurred. as much wreck
age is strewn along the coast. 1t is
supposed two vessels collided during
the night and foundered. Nothing
has been discovered to show the iden-
tity of the vessels, nor is it known
how great was the loss of life accom-
panying the catastrophy.

ii AND MISSIONARIES.

Compares Christianity Favorabiy with
ConfucianIsm.
In reply TO the address from the Am
erican Missionary Society, Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang said:
In the name of my august master,
the Emperor of China, beg to tender
you his best thanks for your approval
and appreciation of the protection at
forded to the American missionaries in
China.
What we have done, and the little
we have done on our part, is nothing
but the duties of our Government, while
the missionaries, as you have so ably
expressed it, have not sought for pc
cuniary gains at the hands OF our peo-
pie. They have not been secret emmi-
saries of diplomatic schemes; their Ia
bors have no political significance. And
last but not least, if 1 might be permit
ted to add, they have not interfered
with our usurped rights to the terri
torial authorities.
In philosophical point of view, as
far as | have been enabled to appreci-
ate, Christianity does not differ much
from Confucianism, as the Golden Rule
is expressed in a positive form in one,
while it is expressed in the negative
form in the other. Logically speaking,
whether these two forms of expressing
the same truth cover exactly the same
ground or not, / leave to the investi-
CATION of those who have more philo-
sophical tastes.
'It is at present enough to conclude
that there exists not much difference
between the wise sayings of the two
greatest teachers in the foundations of
which the whole structure of the two
systems of morality are built"
