WOODEN CHECKS.
Tables Were Used In England Until

the Year 1894.
Wooden checks arc the sort of thing
one would expect to find used In China
or Tibet, but, as Il matter of fact, they
were used IN England from the earliest
times down to rs late as 1884.
Talli"' MS they were called. wero
made out Of II curved piece OF hazel,
notches being cut along the edges to
stand for II certain sum of money The
tally was then snwed half through
Ielow the lowest notch and the notch
ed part split into two pieces, on both
of which the notches appeared.
These pieces served MS check and
counterfoil, the latter being always the
larger piece with the unnotched end
as n kind OF handle. The smaller piece
was then taken by the payee. the larger
sent to the person OH whom the check
was drawn. generally collector Of
customs OF other revenues, public or
private. He would honor the check on
finding that the two pieces fitted and
had the amount credited to him by the
drawer OIL returning them together to
him. Thus were the great danger and
expense of transporting large sums Of
coin avoided.
Forgery OF tally was obviously In
possible unless new counterfeit could
be substituted, and IL stolen In the or
binary way 1t would be of little use to
the thief, for. unlike our checks, there
was nothing to show on whom It was

THE DIVINE NAME.
IneifnbIe Word That IL Never Used
by NInny Inrnclitca

IneRnble Word That ls Never Used
by Many IsrnclitcA.
An eminent rabbi has given his view
Of the ancient Jewish rendering of the
name Of the Deity. He says that the
term Jehovah" the ineffable terra
grammaton, is never pronounced by
mnny Israelites. They use the word
"Adonoi," which signifies 1.-THE Lord"
The transators of the Bible followed
this custom. rendering the word "Jeho.
yah" as Lord" In ancient times the
Pharlsees replnced the tetragrammn-
ton by Shem They used 'Shemo,"
which Is also Biblical, rs the sacred
iaine, and this name Is yet retained
o some extent among the Jews. But
t would appear from passages In the
'salms thnt Adonoi, or Lord. for Jeho-
.ah was more ancient even than the
lines Of the Pharisees. 1t thus occurs
light times In Psalm lxxxiv. 1t also
,ppcars In the book of Exodus, where
Jehovah" had been used III the orig
hnl Hebrew. This substitution would
seem to be older than any other. and
is yet common among all Jews
The rabbit says he has found that the
lncient TRANSACTIONS testify In favor of
'Adonoi."
Looking at the English translation Of
he Old Testament, 1t will be found
that the name Jehovah appears In the
books Of Genesis, Exodus. Judges, the
psalms and isaiah. 1t is not in the
New Testament
