Last Saturday afternoon as w.
R. Hutson and Miss Essie Mann,
of Smith Valley were returning
from a visit to friends in Mason
Valley, the team being driven be-
came manageable at point
where the road was quite rough in
the Hutson Pass. Miss Mann was
driving, but when the horses struck
too lively gait Mr.. Hutson took
the lines, and in SO doing pulled
the team out Of the road a trifle.
One of the wheels struck rock and
pitched both occupants of the bug
gy out. Mr.. Hutson struck head
first on large, sharp boulder, and
his head was split nearly in two,
causing death instantly. Miss
Mann was thrown on top of Mr..
Hutson and was not injured in the
least. The accident happened about
4 o'clock in the afternoon and Miss
Mann walked six miles to the ranch
of S. M. Baldwin, to procure aid.
This was secured and Mr.. Hutson
was found lying just where he had
fallen. He was lifeless and the re-
mains were taken to his residence
in Smith Valley.
Mr.. Hutson was an old resident
of the Valley, and was considered
we'll off. He was a native of Mis-
souri, aged about So years. His
funeral took place Monday, and
was largely attended by friends and
relatives.

he left Sparta never to return, for such
an act of legislature was bound to
bring down on him the unlimited wrath
of the ladies of Sparta, who were thus
compelled to use cart and two oxen
when going out on little shopping
tour.
The early Romans used copper and
brass in their coinage, and when julius
Caesar landed in Britain coins of brass
and iron were found in use. Dyonisius
l., tyrant of Syracuse, coined tin, and 4
leaden slater, preserved in the British
museum, proves that even the basest
OF all metals was employed at one time
as circulating mediums. The Garth
agenians used kind of leather money,
and Numa Pompilius, the second king
OF Rome, is said to have made coins
both OF wood and leather. Frederick
Barbarassa, of crusade fame, and John
the Good of France, also issued leather
money, as did several other rulers at q
later period. The British museum has
o specimen of sequim in leather OF
francesca Carnaro. q656). In the 18th
century the celebrated traveller, Marco
Polo, found money in use In China
which was made of the inner bark Of
the mulberry tree, cut into round
pieces and stamped with the mark of
the sovereign.
Next in antiquity to the coinage Of
the Lydians and Greeks is possibly
that Of the Chinese, who ever claims
priority by asserting that their we'll
known coin, the bronze cash, was coined
as early as 1920 B. C. But there is no GER
tainty of the existence of any genuine
specimen older than PAT p. G. The
Hindoo coinage is also of early origin,
but does not antedate the Greek or even
the Roman, which dates from the fifth
century 3. c. The Egyptians began
to coin money, in the modern sense Of
the term, with Ptolemy Softer, the first
Greek ruler, $50 B. c.. while the He
brews had no national coinage Of their

when Simon, 144 B. c., by virtue Of
decree of Antiochus, issued the shelsel
and half shekel with such Inscriptions
as "Shelsel Israel" Jerusalem the
Holy" and Simon. Prince Of Israel"
The golden age of coinage dates bacle
to the fourth century d. c., when the
Greek cities in lower Italy md Sicily
issued money which in point of art
and skillful workmanship had not been
surpassed by the best productions Of
modern mints. The art of coinage be-
gan to deteriorate in Greece shortly
after the highest developments; in
Rome 1t dates from the third century
A. D., and goes hand In hand with tho
debascment OF silver. In the middle
ages only barbaric coins, almost in
ferior to the early attempts Of coinage,
Were made Of silver and copper. Gold
coins We're unknown with the exception
of the so-called Byzantincs, which CIR
culated in very limited number in

ilized nations having readopted the
most ancient standard of currency

will decide whether gold standard

AT this time 1t is perhaps opportuno
to throw retrospective glance into

is not to discuss the relative values Of

this tube gets inflamed you have u

coin of Alexander I. in the fifth CEN
fury B. c. The first authenticated par
railroads are those of the various sue
cessors of Alexander the Great.
AS to the shape in which coins have
been issued, it is the circular form
which has been aimed at in ancient
coinage, since it is this form which
simplifies the process of manufacture
and dininishes the abrasion to which
coins are subjected to in circulation.
The true circle, however, was not at
tanned by the ancients, and it was not
until the seventh or eighth century A.
ID. that this was accomplished. The
ancient exceptions TO the circular form
are very few. Most all dcviations from
the round shape IRE of modern origin.
They are of the square ducat of Martens
berg. the square rupees of the Mogul
empire, the parallelograms of Japan,
the octagional pieces of Assam and the
$50 octagons which were formerly
struck in California
Outside Of the three standard metals,
gold, silver and copper, most of the
commoner metals have in turn been
employed for the purpose of coinage,
and history proves that even pieces
of leather and tree bark have been
stamped and used as coin of the realm.
The Lacedaemonians, Byzantines and
people of Clazamenae used iron money,

His Brother Was Deaf,

A millionaire railway king has q
brother who is hard of hearing, while
he himself is remarkable as having q
very prominent nose. Once the rail-
way king dined at friends house,
when he sat between two ladies, who
talked TO him very loudly, rather to
his annoyance, but he said nothing.
Finally one of them shouted a common
place remark, and then said in an or
binary tone to the other: "Did you
ever see such nose in your life?"
'sPardon me, ladies'" said the million
are, "it's my brother who is deaf"

of die on one side, while the other
showed only rude and irregular
punch mark. Of this earliest class OF
coinage there is no specimen in OK
istence, but the British museum boasts
of specimens of Lydian money coined
of gold about 500 r. c. These coins
We're found in the ruins of Sardis. They
contain about five dollars in gold, are
of oval shape, and the diverse shows in
juxtaposition the images of q bull and
lion, while the reverse simply bears
the rough pnnchmarls. Similar in
fabrication is gold coin of the Ionian
city of Miletus, also preserved in the
British museum. This specimen also
dates from about 500 B. c., md the
question of greater antiquity has never
been fully decided, though the obtain
able evidence slightly favors the Lydi-
an coin.
The first silver coins were produced
about 700 B. c. in Aegina, an island in
the Greek archipelago. Copper was not
coined until about 300 years later The
gradual improvement in the manufac-
ture of coins consisted at first only in
the more artistic treatment of the OBJ
verse size, and more regularity in the
impression of the punchmark. The
types employed on the diverse Of coins
of the ancient nations were at first In
variably representations of animals or
inanimate objects symbolizing the del
ties which were revered in the various
cities. AS the art of coinage advanced,
these gave place to localized pictures of
the deities themselves until the heads of
the reigning rulers We're generally
adopted at the regal period. The first
important improvement of the reverse
consisted in making the punch cor
respond with the die, thus giving the
design in relief on one side and I'm in
cussed impression of the same on the
other. Coins with the diverse and the
reverse in relief were first made in the
Greek colonies on the italian coast,
about $40 b. c., and even previous to
400 B. G. this form was in general use.
Inscriptions on coins consisted ne
first only of one, two or three letters,
placed either on the diverse or reverse,
indicating the name of the government
whose issue they were. The name of a
prince appears first on Macedonian
