oRIcIN oE COINAGE.


Coins Ages Ago.
1t has been recently stated that Pas
tor Losmann, of Berlin, during a late
visit to Northern Syria, obtained coin
OF pure silver in a good state OF pre-
seryation upon which is an Aramean
inscription of a king known to have
-signed 800 years before Christ. The
name OF the king is not given, and the
account is somewhat vague, but 1t has
attracted attention from the bearing
it has on the origin Of the coinage Of
the precious metals.
The invention Of gold and silver coins
has been attributed to the Lyndians
and to the Greeks. Herodotus ascsibes
the first coin to the Lydians, and the
date has generally been fixed at about
700 b. G. Others claim the credit for
Pheidon, who was king Of Argos some
where about 750 b. c., according to the
calculations generally accepted. AS the
last of the Aramean kings is said to
have yielded to Tiglath-Pileser, Of Sy-
ria, between 745 and 725 B. c., the re-
cent discussion would seem TO give the
earlier date to the Aramean coin.
OF course, it is premature to conclude
that this is established until the sub
ject has received more mature inyes-
tigation. We are, at frequent inter-
walls, treated to discoveries Of speci-
mems Of "the shekel of Solomon" and
coins purporting to be such are exhib-
tied. They have on them inscriptions
in Hebrew characters that We're not
in use until long after the time Of Sol
omon, who lived 1000 years before
Christ. The temptation to make these
antiquities to order is very great, and
an extensive business is done in them.
The new find in Syria may be OF this
character, or there may be a mistake
as to its date. At the same time, It is
not improbable that there are silver
coins older than those bf the Greeks
or Lyiians and If so they may natur-
ally be expected to have existed In the
great monarchies Of Asia.-Louisville

WISE WORDS.

Feelings go a long way toward max

Learn how to listen and you will
profit even from those who talk bad

Gods justice, tardy though 1t prove
perchance, rests never on the track

He that oyercomerh shall inherit all
things, and l will be his Cod and he
shall be My son.-Rev. xxi, Z.
He who waits for God is not mis-
spending his time. Such waiting is
true liying-such tarrying is the truest
speed-Joseph Parker.
We boast our light, but if we look
not wisely on the sun itself, it smites
us into darkness. The light which we
have gained was given us, not to be
ever staring on, but by it to discover
onward thugs, now remote from all
nowledge.-Milton.

THE ANcIENr HoRsE.
Traces Of Different Family From That
OF the Familiar Ones Known.


OF the Familiar Ones Known.
In knowledge, Mr. r. Lydekker
traces the Later History of the
Horse" and endeavors to decide be-
tween the alternative theories Of its
derivation from those primitive breeds,
when, as Mr.. Kipling says in the "Just
So' stories, the horse followed the dog
in becoming the friend of man. There
is, says Mr.. Lydekker, decisive evil
dence of the existence in Egypt, IN
1900 B. c., or earlier, of long named
breed Of Arab horse totally unlike the
wild tarpan or the prehistoric horses
familiar to the cave dwellers Of La
Madelaine. Such a breed must have
been the result either of long antece-
dent domestication, or must have been
produced from a wild species furnished
with a long name and tail. Probably
the former view is correct so far as the
development of the name and tail is
concerned, although it is most likely
that the breed traces its origin to a spe-
cies distinct from the tarpan and pre-
historic horse Of western Europe. That
such a breed should have been intro
duced into Germany and Britain in
pre- Caesarian times-at all events, in
such numbers as to obliterate all traces
of crossing with the wild horses which
abounded in those countries during
that period-seems to him in the high
est degree improbable; and he there
fore cannot at present see any valid
reason for refusing to credit the view
Of Flower that in Palaeolithic and Neo-
lithic times the indigenous hog named

CRUEL POVERTY
AROUSES HIS PITY
Robert Hunter Declares That Our Poor
Will Soon Be Worse OFF Than y
Are the Poor Of Europe

EvILs on REoENT GRoWTH.

| 49, ~-~' - - ~ " - AAe
"Seyenty-fve years ago we had prac-
tically no poverty at all in this coun-
try, and there is no reason why onr
condition to-day should be what it is.
We are not individually any worse
of. Economically, however, we are
much worse off.
"Unquestionably there should be
much higher wages paid to the work
ers, but that is only one OF the reforms
needed.
Fortunately, it is in the power of
the people to help themselves. / am
not in favor Of aims giving. That does
no permanent good. And there is an
other growing impression that ought
to be corrected. 1t is that the rich are
always good and the noor always bad.
There is no question that this is false.
If you will take 1000 rich men and 1000
poor, you will find that they average
up about even."
Mr. Hunter then took up his book
on Poverty" which hSs just been
published by the Macmillans, and
quoted the prediction of Charles Fou-
rier, made 100 years ago, that ''vast
joint stock companies, destined to mo-
nopolize and control all branches of
industry, commerce and enance, would
establish an industrial or commercial
feudalism that would control society
by the power Of capital, as did the old
baronial or military eeudalism by the
power of the sword.r
If we are going to have an econom-
ical feudalism in this country" con-
cluded Mr.. Hunter, 'as strong as the
old baronial feudalsm, it will be be-
cause the people do not prevent it,
