The First Coined Money

WTHEN metals were first used for payment
w they were simply weighed. The next
step was to issue pieces of gold and silver
which had been weighed and then in time it
became the custom to mark the exact weight
and value on each piece. This was first done
in Assyria and Babylonia, where shekes or
pounds of gold and silver have often been
found.
The idea of coming money was first con-
ceived by the Greeks of Iona in the seventh
century B. c. These people stamped on each
coin their city arms and seal, thus giving the
guaranty of their State for the correct weight
and value of the coins. The custom spread
rapidly among all the Greek Provinces and
into Italy.
The oldest gold coins are the yellow shekels
of Babylonia. These were stamped only with
the arms of the country, which thus made
itself responsible for their proper weight.
Nearly all of the more modern coins derived
their weight from the scale of value established
by the old shekels of Babylonia.

Early Use of Iron

TT has been popular belief that iron was little
1 known to the ancients but Lepsius believes
that the Egyptians used it for hand instru-
ments, and that it was prepared in smelling
furnaces 5000 B. G.
An iron band was found in an inner part
of the Pyramid of Cheops, where the ancient
architect had placed it not later than $500
B. c.
In the tombs of Thebes and Memphis tools
and other articles of iron have been found,
some of which are among the treasures of the
New York Historical Society.
Iron was valued that it was seized as
plumber by victorious soldiers. An iron sickle
was found beneath one of the sphinxes at
karnak, and iron used for the door
frames of the temple of Ptah A piece of pure
iron was found beneath the obelisk that now
stands in Central Park, New York, when it
was taken from its original position on the
banks of the Nile.
The relics found show that the art of tenn
pering was known at early date. The
Egyptians worked mines in the desert region
of the south between the Nile and the Red
Sea, and also near Mount Sinai in Palestine.
The ruins of extensive iron works were found
in 1873 near the Wells of Moses.

TATTooING, or the custom of permanently
i marking the skin with colored designs, is
of ancient origin. This practice is forbid
den in the Scriptures; so it may be inferred that
it was customary among other tribes than the
Israelites. The custom of tattooing among
civilized nations is fast dying out, though
there a few establishments to be found
where it is still done. Among these S one on
the Bowery in New York, where the operator
advertises performing the operation in thirteen
different colors.
Tattooed marks have played an important
part in the conviction and acquittal of Grim
mails The absence on the claimant of these
marks known to have been on the body of
Roger Tichborne was an important point in
the famous Tichborne trial, and there are
many incidents on record where tattooed marks
have sent men to the gallows or stayed the
hand OF the executioner.
In some countries tattooing had religious
significance; but in olden times it was prac-
tised merely as a method of adornment. The
Japanese and New Zeaanders are famed as
expert tattooers and a good workman can
cover mans back with all manner of eabo-
rate designs in a single day. Some authorities
assert that tattoolng was put on the body in
ancient times as substitute for clothes.

Visiting Cards

VISITING cards owe their origin to the
v Chinese, who from the earliest times
observed the greatest ceremony in the matter
of paying calls. The cards which they used
for this purpose were large and colored a bright
red.
When Chinaman desires to marry, his
parents communicate the fact to a pro-
fessional match maker, who at once runs over
her acquaintance and selects the one she
thinks will make the most fitting bride She
then makes a call on the young woman S
parents, armed with the prospective bride
grooms card, on which are written his ances-
trail history, name, and the date of his birth
If the suit is acceptable, the brides card is
sent in return; and if the prophecies for the
wedding are good the particulars of the en-
gagement are written on two large red cards
and sent to the friends of each family.
