The Eirat Coined Monav.

When metals were first used foPi
payment they werc simply weighed.
The next step was to issue pieces OF,
gold and silver which had been weigh
ed; and then in time it became thes
custom to mark the exact weight and
value on each piece. This was first
done in Assyria and Babylonia, where
shekels of pounds of gold and silver
have often been found. The idea Of
coming money was first conceived by
the Greeks of Iona in the seventh GEN.
tury 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 andS
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 mod
ern coins derived their weight from
the scale of value established by the
old shekels of Babylonia.

MEXICAN TROOPS

Nicaragua and Salvador May
Also Attack Guatemala.

Mexico City. = Mexican troops
are moving to the Guatemalan
frontier, according to information re-

The troops are travelling over the Pan
American railroad. In what numbers
or for what purpose these soldiers are
moving southwark is not known out

1t is said that the transfer of these
troops may simply be the carrying out
of previous orders issued by the war
department in pursuance of a plan of
mobilization which carries with it no
special significance.
An American business man who ar

DOUBLE SORROW

It is with the profoundest sorrow
that We chronicle the death of little
Miss Martha Severance, the six year
old daughter of Rev. Jos. M. Sever
ance and wife, which occurred on
Wednesday afternoon.
This is a double sorrow, as only
last week Mary Scott, the youngest
daughter, died from the same dread
disease, membranous Group, after
only a few hours illness.
The sympathy of every one in this
community goes out to these doubly
bereft parents.
May the consultations of that gospel
which he so ably presents be vouch-
safed to Mr.. Severance and his good
wife.
